My TCS Interview Experience

TCS INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE

Somehow I came to know that TCS written test includes repeated questions i.e., the pattern of TCS written aptitude test remains same but the values get changed. Process of TCS recruitment included 3 stages:

1. Written Aptitude Test (Online)

2. Technical Interview

3. HR Interview

Written Aptitude Test (Online):

For written test, I tried to solve previous year papers of TCS. It consisted of normal questions of aptitude and reasoning.

Written test was on 18th December, 2011, Softare Lab of CSE Dept. It started at 2 pm. It consisted of 35 questions which were to be solved in 60 mins.

I started test with time and seeing the questions I felt so comfortable that the questions were exactly the same which I practiced. With almost 15 mins to spare, I finished my test and then revised my test and with 5 mins to spare, I submitted my test. I attempted 33 out 35 questions and I was pretty much sure that my all questions were correct (90% probability).

Now, the result of that test declared within 30 minutes, I was shortlisted for the interview.

Technical Interview:

My Interviews started at around 5 pm and I was quite nervous initially because one or two of the interviewer was quite strict sort of and was taking about an hour for each candidate.

My turn came at around 5:30 pm and the process is as follows:

Me: may I come in sir?

Int: yes please

Me: good evening sir

Int: good evening, please have a seat.

Me: thank you

Int: so how are you feeling?

Me: sir, I am bit nervous. Actually I am in an interview for the very first time

Int: arey sharmao mat yaar, le lo

(he insisted and I had a piece of cake, I was feeling comfortable now)

Int: so shall we start the process?

Me: yes sir

Int: what are your strengths?

Me: (I described some with examples)

Int: and what about your weaknesses?

Me: (I described my weakness which could appear as their strength)

Int: hmmm…….. so tell me about your family.

Int: tell me your 2 favourite subjects

Me: (I told him 2 from my course and he asked me some basic questions from 1 of that subject)

Int: how did you find interest in c?

Me: (I gave him suitable reason, and then he asked me 2 programs, not exactly programs but they were logics related to practical world and I answered them correctly)

Interviewer got impressed by my answers and the level of confidence I showed to him.

(Actually he is a Malayali. So he could adjust with my “jaba jaba” English.Then he advised me about how to work in tcs and this professional world.

Int: good luck for future and prepare for hr
