16th -Written test:

TCS in collobration with IIT’s developed a software known as Touchstone it consists of around 2 lac questions in its database. Don't get disappointed with that number basically there will  be only around 100-150 models  which you can get from our portal www.tcs.csestrikers.com

It was a cool test since we have thoroughly practiced aptitude and reasoning.

Next comes technical review round it was done on 17thensure that your name will be in the list of candidates of Technical round. So that you can almost reserve a place in TCS.

My Technical round took place around 6:30 pm waited for around 10 hours to get my turn as they started around 8:00 am on that day vexed with it. But thank God I cleared it easily questions posed to me are as follows

1) Tell me about yourself?

(Ans: Be sure that you prepare for this question thoroughly since if you whisper in front of him, he may ask you that if you cant tell about yourself clearly. Thats an indication to him of your nervousness are poor communication skills)

My HR round was a cool one. It's a cake walk for me.

But I was so nervous all the 3 days as my turn used to come at last.

All the best for all those preparing to TCS, be confident, wear smile on your face, trust yourself and faith on god.
