TCS PAPER ON 23rd SEPTEMBER

Hey All,

I am Sunitha.H.S, have done my  BE(Info science),from AMC Engg College.
Am proud to say that, today, am a TCSer, thanks to Freshersworld.com. The success stories, the words of inspiration, and the vast preparation kit that students ve contributed is one of the reasons for me having made it. I ll give u a brief insight into the recruitment process of TCS.

It comprises of 2 phases:
1.Written Test
2.Technical Round+HR

Written Test includes
1. Verbal,
2. Critical reasoning,
3. Quants.

U can easily get thru this, provided u ve the determination,coz, as everybody ve been telling,most of the questions r repetitive.Just refer the old papers theat ve been posted, n, u can easily answer upto 70% of the paper.

Verbal includes, Synonyms, Antonyms, Reading comprehension, Sentence completion, which u ll find in GRE Barron's. Many ppl ve prescribed the 12 Edition, which i cudnt find in the bookstores,I found the 16 Edition, which was equally helpful.
The comprehension part was a piece of cake, coz it was a photocopy from Barron's

Quants,again r repetitiveif u wanna start from scratch, RS Aggarwal s the book for u... work on : Problems on Numbers, Ages, Clocks, Time & Work,Data Interpretation, Percentage, Time & distance, Venn Diagrams...

N, remember, "There s no negative marking!!!!"

Technical Round

        It went on, for, say,7 minutes or so... I was the first gal for the morn batch,n, had this fear, that the recruiters wud be all fresh n set for attack, but they were pretty cool. Firstly, they asked me"Tell me abt urself" - Concentrate on ur positive skills, n, relate it to how it wud help in an organization... U cud say, " My capability to adjudicate, communication skills... "etc..

        Then, they ask u, " wat were the subjects u studied?" Name those for which u are well prepared, like, C,C++,OS,Computer Networks,Data Stuctures, Software Engg, DBMS N, I was asked project related questions. I started off with the SDLC approach, since it gives them the feeling that u r well prepared for the question.Since mine was a Java based project, i was asked abt Applets, Servlets, JSP, etc.

N, be well prepared to answer the question"wat s ur role in the project?" If u say coding, be prepared to write a piece of code, of his choice...
Some important Que:
1. Memory Management in OS,
2. Wat is OS? Wat r the types of OS?
3. Difference between Java  & C, Java features-(speak abt garbage collection)
4. Dynamic method Dispatch,
5. OOPS concepts-classes, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism,
6. Linked Lists,
7. Normalization,
8. Method Overloading, Method Overriding.
9. Zombie Process,
10.DBMS- Primary key, foreign key concepts

            They just ask u things dat u r supposed to know, n, normally dont deviate from syllabus, since we r freshers. Suppose u r from the IS /CS background, n, they ask u questions dat delve into MicroProcessor, then, just be bold enough to say "We just brushed thru MP, n, dint learn abt it in depth" Wat they r looking for is, confidence. Just carry the right amount of it, neither more nor less, n, u r in TCS.

HR round

This went for a brief 3-4 minutes:
Tell me abt urself
Family Background
Interests n Activities
Why TCS?
were some of the questions.
Again , just be loud, clear n confident in wat u r speaking, U can surely make it, with Effective

planning, coz, remember, "Failing to plan is, planning to fail"
"All The Best" to all of u out there.
