Hi Vishwas,
This event happens around Feb-March. Its conducted by Wipro. I think you can participate in this contest only if wipro comes to your campus. For me, wipro came to our campus. Initially there’s a written test at your college level. Once you clear the college level test then there’s a regional level coding contest, once you clear that you’ll be attending the finals at the Wipro campus in bangalore, there you’ll be competing against all the regional level winners. This will be a coding contest, you’ll be given two tough problems and once you solve it, they’ll check for the complexity and the way you’ve coded it. And once you win this you are the wipro codzap guru.
