Hi friends,
This is Divya, Tirupati. I'm from cse dept.
I have atteneded TCS selection process conducted at Veltech, chennai on 22nd August.
It had only 2 rounds.
1. Written
2. Technical & HR
You can clear the written test very easily. I think you all know that this test is an online test.
There are 35 questions, 1hour time.
There is negative marks for wrongly attempted questions. ie., you will loose 1 mark for 3 wrong questions.
So attempt only the question which you are confident. Attempt >=20 questions you can crack written.
Just go through the previous papers its enough. You will get same type of questions with just change in numbers
Time managemenet is very important. Dont stick to a questions if you didn't ge answers, skip it and go through other questions, you can come to it later
I attempted 24 questions as i was runout of time i couldn't attempt some more questions.
Then our results were announced with in 1/2 hour. They will announce both selected and not-selected candidates and ask others whose names were not read out to wait.
My name was called out in selected candidates and they gave a form in which you have to fill our details, then asked to attend for the further rounds after an HR.
I waited many hrs for my interview (abt 3hrs)
I was the last candidate in our batch. Some HR's asked me to come back after lunch. But my panel HR's asked me to get in for the interciew. I felt very happy as they waited to take my interview without having their lunch :) They called me around 2'o clock
I entered the room with a very happy mood and smile on my face.
There are two members in the panel a male HR and a female HR
Wished them individually.
They asked me to take seat and introduced themselves by telling their names
As it was a lunch time male HR asked me this question

First prepare well for written and also concenterate on your areas of interest.
Be thorough with all the topics. Also have a glance in basic subjects of your stream
They have asked every one to write programs regardless of stream. So be preapred
Learn small programs in c like prime num, finding even and odd nums, fibonacci series, searching, sorting, matrix multiplication and all.
Don't mugup the prgs. Understand the logic. They will also ask you to explain the logic and all
Answer with confidence, If you don't know about something be frank to tell that you dono about it
Be yourself.
Whatever you answers relate it to the job, don't be nervous. Maintain smile on your face throughout the interview
Dont get down-hearted, dont give up.
This is my 6th interview attended. In the earlier ones i could clear only 1 comp's written test. So
If you have any doubts post your comments. I will be there to help you
Feel free to ask questions
All the best
Hope to see you all in TCS.
