TCS Candidate Experience
Hello dear TCS aspirants Hre Im shring My TCS journey
Iam ANILBABU SRIKAKULAPU I attended TCS(Tata Consultancy Services) campus
driveat, GUDLAVALLERUENGINEERING COLLEGE where around 480 candidates tested their luck to be placed in their dream company. Iam one among them. It includes a lot of speculation.
The (TCS) recruiting procedure involves following steps
TCS consists 4 rounds
1)written test
2)Technical round
3)Managerial round
4)Hr round
The (TCS) written test includes questions from aptitude, reasoning and quantitative. you need not study any particular book to crack this test. Just go through previous placement papers in freshersworld.com and free TCS on line practice Test I share you the questions that faced in my TCS written test.
Tips to crack aptitude :
1. Never Guess an answer . Attend only the questions you are reasonably certain of answering correctly . (I attended exactly 30 questions , Never guessed any question randomly.
2. If you dont get the answer in the first try or you get stuck up quickly skip the question . Come back to it later if you have time. ( I attended the first question skipped 8 questions before answering the next question).
3. Read the question fully once and find out what they are asking . Most of the time they give a lot of irrelevant data to confuse you. For example they may ask a problem on ages but may also give you data on blood relations (I have 2 brother and 2 sisters. You have to correctly deduce the fact that you only need information related to Age and the rest is irrelevant data
.
4. Try not to panic at the sight of those long questions. Most problems are very simple which require you to do some logical thinking with a clear mind.
5. There will be certain questions which will be very simple but will have small twists .
6. Most questions asked have a fixed pattern. A friend of mine attended the interview on 21st (she too got selected). Most of the questions i got were similar to the ones she got with slight changes introduced (learn the logic dont mug up the answer)
Some of the questions which I remembered are as given below.
If an old women's age is the same as her three grand daughters I mean the number of days old child=the no of weeks old child=no of months old child. The total years of all these ppl is 114 years then how old is the old woman?
The year has 365 days and 30 days each month.
I calculated it with the options given try 2 use the calculator its easy. Don't remember the answer.
2) There was a piece of cloth which is 135 miles long and 35ft wide and some nonsense again then he wants to divide the cloth into pieces with one mile each if he took 7 secs for cutting piece. What is the time taken for cutting the whole of the cloth into pieces?
135-1=134 x 7=938 secs.
3) A woman had so many gloves and hats 22 red,34 blue, 45 white there was power cut and she took a glove and how many gloves should she take so that she gets a pair of glove for each color?
Don't know the answer.
4) Problem on ((a3-b3)/(a2-ab-b2))=(a- don waste tym directly calculate it!
5) The bear problem..i put it as black.
6) Parateeka(Bird)
7) If a person climbed a hill which was 200 mtrs high. The average speed while climbing was 23 mph and while coming down was 30 mph. Then what is the average speed of his journey?
Use the formula (2xy)/(x+y)
8) If the are 2 containers of 1 ltr each. I had Pepsi and another water. If one spoon from Pepsi was taken and added in water and then from the mixed container of water one spoon was taken and added in Pepsi..So pepsi had more quantity of Pepsi than what water had in 2nd container.
9) If the area was hit by a virus and so the decrease in the population because of death was x/3 and the migration from other places increased a population by 2x then annually it had so many ppl. find our the population in the starting.
10) If the milk and water was added in 5:4 ratio then how much more water should be added so he gets the ratio of 6:7.(Not exact question but something like that)
11) A tank fills in the squence of 10, 20 ,40,80.... (means 10 litre in 1 hr, 20 litr i 2nd nd so). If at the 4th hour the tank is 1/4 full when will it be full?
Ans: x/4=80
That means capacity of tank is 320 litres. From the series we can see that in 5th hr it's 160 nd then in 6th hr it's 320 so answer is 6
12) 2 very simple questions on ages like if 3 years back i was 2 times of my friends age and so and so. If you know the basic concept you will be able to solve that.
13) There are only bicycles and 4-wheelers in the parking. If the total number of wheels are 240.What can be the possible number of cycles?
Ans: 2x+ 4y= 240
See options ie the value of x from the options. Then check the value of y from equation for each option. The value of x for which y is a integer would be the answer.
14) The cost of making robot is divided into cost of material, Cost of repairing and cost of painting in the ratio of 5: 2: 3 the cost used for material is 200. Find the total cost of making the robot?
Ans: 5x/10=200
So x=400 Ans.
15) If jack lies on Mon, Tue Wed and jill lies on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If both together tell they lied yesterday. So c the given options and then c cos in the given dates one will be saying the truth and one will be lying. I got Thursday as option because jack is saying the truth he lied yest but jill is lying again as he lies on that day.
16) Scientist starts from his base camp from North (my friend got North Pole) chases after a Bear etc.
Answer lies in the first sentence that says that Bear's Color changes according to the weather. As far as i know there are 2 kinds of bears. The Normal ones which are Black and the Polar Bears which are white. Polar Bears are present only in the North and South poles (Arctic and Antarctica). I chose white i am not sure if that was correct (if it was North Pole white is the correct answer)
17) Seamstress makes a cut on a piece of cloth in 3 secs. If she wants to cut the cloth into 11 pieces. How much time would it take. (My friend got the same question with different values)
Answer: To cut a piece of cloth into 11 pieces she has to make 10 cuts. so 10*3 = 30secs is the answer.
