Testimonials (A word from our certified programmers)
It was fun preparing for exams; I started taking up solving regular contests more seriously; also,
because of a deadline to complete, I solved many problems from the learn section. The exam centre
was also perfect. Overall it was an excellent experience.
It helped me to learn dynamic programming. My advice is to attempt and up solve all regular
contests. Practice the question in learn section and the mock test. Don't forget to practice Dynamic
Programming.
The exam provided me with a great experience in DSA foundation-level concepts. The exam felt really
easy because I could master the basics of DSA with the free materials provided on the CodeChef
website. I'm looking forward to attempting the advanced level sometime in the future.
It is valuable in my case because I'm currently in BTech's 1st year, and this will add a significant
boost to my resume for my future internships and jobs.
I recommend anyone who wants to take the certification to study DSA basics concepts at a slow pace
and practice more questions at the same time to make concepts clear.
The exam was fantastic, and the CodeChef community is super helpful. Preparing for the exam, making
sure that I practised DSA regularly. This, in turn, helped me to improve my problem-solving skills.
Having a certificate from CodeChef feels good, as it is a well-known organization. It also helps me
know where I stand regarding problem-solving skills. Finally, I would like to thank CodeChef for
conducting this successfully.
its always on the top of my priority list;
I would recommend everyone who wants to improve their DSA skills to take the exam.
Why Data Structures and Algorithms?
It’s the foundation of Computer Science.
Being a good programmer is more than knowing a programming language. It’s about understanding DSA, and solving problems efficiently. DSA is integral to all computer science technologies, be it software development, blockchain, AI and machine learning, or high-performance computing
Helps you crack interviews at top tech companies.
DSA based assessments are a part of the first level assessment for most leading companies. Knowing the optimal ways to solve a problem can save millions of dollars when at scale - a quality that organisations value.
