Coding Ninjas announces the winner of CodeKaze coding contest

Coding Ninjas, India’s leading ed-tech platform for learning to code and securing placement assistance, is elated to announce the winners after its annual flagship event, CodeKaze, concluded in its fourth season this year.
With a total of 1,17,515 applications, the keenly contested competition drew over 6,000 colleges and more than 95,000 students this year. Besides, over 17,000 professionals also enrolled in the competition.

Mayank Singhal and Manvitha Royal emerged as the winners of the competition that was held online on March 6, 2022, at 7 pm.

Hosted in partnership with Nasscom-Futureskills, the competition pitted budding coders head-to-head and was designed to include even those not highly familiar with coding.

Mayank Singhal, the winner of the first prize of Rs. 50,000, said, “The competition was intense yet healthy, with an excellent variety of questions. My advice to future participants is to keep calm under pressure and exhibit proficiency over DP and Trees.”

Ankush Singla, a mentor and co-founder at Coding Ninjas said, “I congratulate the winners and all participants for being a part of CodeKaze and performing with flying colors. Competitive coding and hackathons have been the main source of talent recognition among organizations hiring coders. At Coding Ninjas, we have not only been training the next-generation of talent but also happy to support the industry through pan-India competitions of such magnitude and intensity.”

With 100+ hiring partners like DailyHunt, CoinDCX, and MediBuddy, the competition also proved to be a precursor for Coding Ninjas to offer over 500 internships and full-time opportunities as software developers. It also gave participants a competitive environment similar to what they experience at a top corporate house today.
