Hi dear friends,
I would like to share my experience on TCS recruitment with u all. Only because of God’s grace I could able to get through all the selection process. Really I would like to thank Freshersworld site for having such a wonderful collection of previous company papers. This site helped me a lot. Thanks for all my friends who have contributed their papers and shared their interview experience.
Regarding the selection process first we had online test. It consists of three sections:
1. Verbal Ability
2. General Aptitude
3. Critical Reasoning
Instructions regarding the online test will be informed to you. There is no sectional cut off. So even if u r not good at one section also, you will have more chances in the other sections. So prepare well.
1. Verbal Ability
In this section we had synonyms, antonyms, comprehension and sentence completion. For synonyms and antonyms please refer GRE Barron 11th or 12th edition. Some times we may get comprehensions from GRE book itself. Anyway just go through that also.
2. General Aptitude
For this section it is more than enough to solve all the previous papers available in this site. Then for some concepts refer R.S Agarwal aptitude book. Most of the problems will be repeated only with the numbers changed. But u will have the same model.

Questions based on data interpretations were asked.
They were on Venn diagram, bar graph, pie chart.
3. Critical reasoning
Here we had all the questions from GRE Barron’s book only. These questions were from the model papers given at the back of that book. (I really want to thank my friend Gayathri, because she only gave me the complete guidance with GRE book itself.)
Not even the numbers or names will be changed, so please prepare well with those questions. It’s more than enough for critical reasoning.
Our next round was Technical Round. By God’s grace it was really very easy for me. But I heard from few of my friends that it was a bit tough. But God’s grace and your hard work never fails so prepare well, you could really able to get through.
I am giving my interview conversation. Hope it may be useful for you. My interview questions were very simple. But you please prepare all the basic concepts of all the subjects during your course.
Especially concentrate on c, c++, DBMS, oops concept, software engineering. The major concentration should be on your project. Most of the interviewer will decide our technical ability from that itself. So be confident. Explain main modules of your project first then your whole project. Be clear or at least know something about what you have mentioned in the resume.
I had 2 members in my panel. But both were friendly to me. But in some panel both the interviewers posted their questions very frequently one after the other. But by God’s pure grace my panel members made me to answer very cool. Thank GOD)
I have mentioned Interviewer-int and answer given as me.
Me: good afternoon sir (wished both of them)
Int: Yes, good afternoon please take your seat.
Me: I said thank you sir and seated.
(They went through the form completely which we have to fill before the technical interview)
Int: tell me about yourself.
Me: I told about my educational qualification, schooling, family, my strength and weakness.
Int: he asked how will you say that this is your weakness? (He asked this question after I have told my weakness)
Me: I just explained.
Int: they asked about my college, location like that….
Me: I replied them with some special features of my college, how and why did I choose that college.
Int: they asked me to explain about my project.
Me: I started with tension in my face and voice.
Int: they told me to relax myself, nothing here to get tensed, be cool and answer.
Me: I too relaxed due to their pleasing words, then started explaining the project clearly (I hope so) until they started asking the next question.
Int: ok, good. Tell me the difference between VB and VB.NET (since my project is in .NET)
Me: I could not able to answer; even then I tried with some relevant answer.
Int: they smiled and said that I am asking the same question to everyone who came in the morning till now but no one is answering. (They explained me)
Me: oh! Thank you sir and now I understood.
Int: they asked how do you rate yourself in c and c++ in the scale of 1 to 10.
Me: I immediately told them as 8 without thinking. (But really not up to that scale)
Int: they told to me with a smile that, you have to write a program to prove that.
Me: ok sir sure. (Boldly said with my voice but had the fear what will be the program? whether it will be easy or not)
Int: they gave a comment that we are going to give a complicated program. Will you be able to write?
Me: I answered sure sir I will write.
Int:he gave a paper and asked me to write the greatest of three numbers.(my friends told that they would have asked you such a simple question because of my mark 81%.but its only because of God’s grace)
Me: I wrote it and gave them. (Thanked God for such an unexpected simple program)
Int: they checked and said good. They saw my resume and asked do you know sql and oracle? What is PowerPoint and what is it used for?
Me: I replied yes and explained both.
Int: they asked any questions for us?
Me: sir if I have been selected in TCS, before joining in what languages or technologies I must be familiar with?
Int: they said, after you have been given training only it will be decided. So no need of any such advanced learning now. They will train you in the field in which you are going to be allotted.
(I could able to see the satisfaction in their face through their smile)
Me: thank you sir (left the hall with full hope in GOD)
Int: we will get you back.
(By the marvelous miracle of GOD, after half an hour they read out the list of students short listed in technical round, in which I heard my name too. really that’s God’s grace only not because of my knowledge)
Our next round is MR round.
(I wished the hr and took my seat. He asked how to pronounce your name? I told.)
Int: what is your weakness?
Me: I told late night studies and spending more time in the night for making my project successful.
Int: ok tell me what did you learnt from that? How are you now trying to recover from that?
Me: I have learnt time management and now trying to do my work within the limited time.
Int: explain about the project…….
Me: explained as I did in the technical round.
Int: which application server is used in your project? Do you know clusters, caching algorithm? Have you used any such algorithms? (He asked all these questions continuously, without giving any time to answer.)
Me: I didn’t answer for application server. Then said no for clusters, for caching I said that it is keeping the frequently accessed pages in memory. But I dint used any such algorithms in my project; our concept is entirely different sir.
Int: he said its ok. Where is your college? Where is your school?
Me: I told.
Int: ok then you have completed your education till now at Chennai itself, but if I am going to put you at Ahmedabad or
Me: its one part of my life living with my parents, but now it’s the time where I have been given with certain duties and I will surely relocate myself wherever I have been put up.
Int: don’t tell simply. I am video recording everything, so when you come back to our office I will replay everything for you. So you can’t escape from me.
Me: I said no problem sir. I am ready to go anywhere.
Int: what is your idea regarding government reservation policy in education?
Me: I said it is now caste based, but I wish that it would be better if it is merit based.
Int: why should I hire you?
Me: since I am hard working (this you can see from my academic records) and I can finish everything & can give the best output in my first attempt itself. I am worth enough for you to hire me.
Int: if your working hour is 8 hrs per day, but for the project it is more than enough if you spend 4 hrs, then what will you do in the remaining 4 hrs?
Me: I will spend the rest of the time in analyzing and finding more enhancements for my project and discussing with my senior authority for more ideas. I will try to learn new technology that can make my project the best.
Int: ok tell me whether you have anymore question?
Me: I asked the same question as in technical round.
Int: he answered it was too early to know this and will be known after your completion of training.
Me: thank you sir. (Left the room)
The results were announced on November 17th.it was to my great surprise that again God made my name to appear on the final short listed candidates of TCS.
All thanks to GOD. My dear friends don’t get disappointed when you don’t get a job. Try your best. GOD will give you the best. Because I have also attended almost all the MNC companies interview, but not even cleared the first round.
But don’t give up, keep on trying. You will achieve one day. Have a successful life.
All The Very Best For Your Bright Future.
