Placement Papers

Dear Boys/Girls,

I am Kapil Anand, I am a ECE student from Ajay Kuamr Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad, 2010 Batch. I was selected in the off-campus drive of TCS on 21-22 August (G.L.Bajaj, Great Noida) my interview is on 22th August at TCS office Noida.

Please if you really wants to crack TCS, Please go through it.

Paper Pattern:

The written test consists of 35 questions.

Calculators are allowed. Do not think you have to attempt 35 questions in 60 min, please make sure that you have do 20 questions in 60 min (all are correct). All questions are Aptitude questions. No Verbal, no passages, no antonym, no synonyms etc. No need to go through GRE barron.

Time:1 hour
There is Negative marking: -0.33 for each wrong answer. Timer will be displayed on the top right corner of the screen. Most of the questions are lengthy. They are about 4 to 5 lines. But they are easy. Only requirement is to be fast.

Syllabus: The computer based test had questions:

Area and Perimeter, Probability, Problems on Ages, Pipes and Cisterns, Ratio and Proportion some logical questions, blood relations, percentages, profit-loss, area, direction sense etc.

Rounds:

1) Written

2) Technical

3) HR

4) Managial round

* This round is basically depends upon interviewer because he has rights to ask any thing again Technical, HR, any puzzle.

* Mostly they ask you some question and judge wheather you are consistent or not to  your answer.
Eg:
First they ask wheather you are team player or not. If you said yes i am team player after that they move from track after some time they again ask if company assign you a work  and said if you complete this efficiently then you will get promotion and said wheather you want 2 do this work with your friends or alone, if you said alone, then you are gone because you said before that you are team player. etc

How to crack written test:

1)  Many of your friend says that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round, then you must attempt somewhere around 25 -28 questions to make it through. But this is not the case. What I figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy. I attempted just 21 questions and still made it through, because around 18 questions i answered were correct. I made less guess. I think is based on accuracy & atleast you have to do 17 questions in 60 mins. 

 
2) Please do not guess or do not attempt if you are not sure about your answer.
 
3) Please do not try to cheat because question seem to be same in your neighbour computer but value in questions are change so option gets change.

I can memorize some of the questions of aptitude test, I am writing some of them questions
