After asking question he asked me about my home towns etc and then i left the room. After 20 mins one person came and took me for MR round. I MR round he asked me abt myself why TCS. Sell your self in 1 min give your self point out of ten in Java. I gave 8. He asked me are you confident  i said yes sir mainly he was checking my confdence and he asked one question from Java  which i answered then he gave me a situation that two of my best friend is not doing their work and give it to me then will i complain or not. It was atriky question which i answered very well and after that at last he asked me who is the CEO of TCS. "Frankly i was not knowing that answer but very confidently i answered" " Sir i don't know full name but his name is Mr. Srinivasan" 
 
I was knowing that i was wrong the he asked me are you sure very confidently i said yes sir. I think my confidence impresed him. then he told me Rajeev if you are right then you will get your result and if  you are wong even though you will get your result and i came out after 30 min result announced and i got selected 4 last round which was HR round
