Candidate-Experiences

 TCS PAPER AND INTERVIEW ON 17th AUGUST 2006 

Friends ,I have been selected in an on campus interview in TCS

Here is my experience & suggestions.

Written::

Pattern was as usual ,the key is how u handle the Online Test, aseverything occurs so quickly that u hardly have any time to think in front of PC.

So be aware of time limitation of each section and prepare each section eqally.

verbal

Go through the GRE high freq.,Antonym Exercise and Model test paper of any of 11,12or 13 edition

Now the big task is to arrange these antique editions.

Quant:

For the quant go tru the old papers just know the methods to solve each question .

They change the numerical values only.

Reasoning :

Go tru the 11.12 or 13 edition barron all model papers

Basically the TCS question sets are prepared from 12^th edition Barrons

So do as much as possible from it ,ifffffffffffffffff

U can get it

Even I was unable to arrange it.

Tech interv:

Be cool & confident ,in whatever u have read during urdegree.

Say a humble no to any question for which u don’t have any idea.

Be ready  for questions from any topic u have read.

To me:

They straight away asked about Flip flops diagram using gates , I replied that sir I know the application of FF as I read it it my 3^rd sem and not becoming able to recall it right now ,

He: have u read MP(going tru my document folder)

Me: Yes Sir(very confidently  as   have very well prepared it.

He :diff b/w 8085&8086

Me : I told him 5 differences ( I could see  shine on his face and knew that I have hit a sixer on full toss)

He :Tell me NMI interrupts

Me: Explained in sound and very illustrative and understanding way that he was fully impressed.

He : write mnemonics to subtract  2 nos

Me : Written with great easethen heis cell rang and he went outside to attend the  call  then the other man who was dormant till than became active and asked me a puzzle ,I was a bit surprise at it but a little effort solved the puzzle.

Then the first interviewer came back and

He:have u read C++

Me : Yes ,but right now I ma having the basic idea.

He: but u might have prepared it for urexams ,so u might have an wide idea of it
