TCS PAPER ON 14TH FEBRUARY,2008
Hi friends...I donât know whether I would be selected in TCS or not...but my experience may help u....On 14th Feb. we had a formal ppt. after that there was an online aptitude test. You need at least 7 days preparation for this aptitude test.
Aptitude test consists of 3 sections.
1. VERBAL: the most difficult one. 10 antonyms 10 synonyms 6 RC and 6 questions from passage. You need to mug up high frequency word list(I did almost 400 words from Barron and previous year TCS papers ) from Barrons 12th edition. I had 9 common from there. for antonyms again u need to mug up barrons antonym exercise. RC was too tough for me. So I used assumption. Passage was easy but time consuming so better do it at last.
2. QUANTITATIVE: the most scoring part of the aptitude test. there was 38 questions. All u have to do is to collect previous years papers and solve them. Freshers worldâs power preparation was also helpful to me.
3.LOGICAL REOSNING: again another scoring part. U need to mug up barrons model test (12th edition). specially passages which have 4 or more questions. if you donât understand the passage just MUG UP the answers . i was lucky. There will be 3 passages with 4 questions each. All 3 passages was common.
There was NO SECTIONAL CUT OFF, NO NEGATIVE MARKING. So attempt all questions. Nearly one and half hours later the results were out. 278 out of 427 students were selected.
On 16th we had our technical HR interview. reporting time was 10 and I was called at 5 30 pm.
My panel consists two men. both from mid fourties. The greeted me with smile.
