TCS PAPER ON 1st APRIL AT BHUBANESWAR

Hi friends i m Somjeet of KIIT and have cracked  TCS .TCS has a very easy written test. They have three sets X,Y,Z and their difficulty level is in the former order. I got the Z set-most difficult among them all(although it was very easy but with respect to other sets) I dont remember the synonym or antonym but the answers to the first 15 qs are as follows.(just mug them up) 1.b,2.b,3.c,4.d,5.b,6.a,7.b,8.c,9.d,10.e,11.b,12.a,13.b,14.e,15.d

the paper contains questions on bar graphs and pie charts but they r absolutely easy but do have a look on RS Agarwall
Quant is like hot cake(very easy),english-the most difficult part i felt it was like some CAT or XAT paper but never lose hope as there are no sectional cut-offs and if u get Z set then the overall cut-off will be very low. In our college maximum rejection in written test was of X set(easy set->higher cut-off)

Tech Interview:
Well the TCS people are very friendly and they dont like arguing in anything,so avoid arguing.
They just want to see your confidence, your speaking ability,and a little presence of mind.
Remember   if u have bad speaking ability then forget to crack TCS go for any other company.
