TCS Interview Procedure

ONLINE TEST:
For TCS Online test previous papers r more than enough.
I dont remember the qns exactly of Aptitude section.Just sending a general format.

qns r repeated i.e. the pattern remains same only the data get changed.So refer the previous papers for Quant..I m sending u the format as i dont remember the exact data.Just go through each qn.the imp factor is speed & if u know the method to solve each qn prior to ur test u can easily solve the Aptitude section very fast.In the last part of Aptitude Section some paragraph type qns r there i.e. based on the para given in qn u ve to answer 3-4 qns(Blood relations,etc.).

For guidance u can refer R.S. Agrawal.
DI was easy but u ve to be fast(ref:Barrons).

Verbal Reasoning section was easy for many students as most of them got previous papers' words.In my set however I got some new words.But sorry I dont remember them all.Just go thru Barron's High Freq Wordlist & previous papers words.U wont ve any problem.If u ve time then try to go thru the Tests given in Barrons.RC was also easy.U need not refer any book for tht.
I wud suggest u to prepare Critical Reasoning very well.coz here many students were not thru the Online test coz they cudnt solve the CR part.Try to prepare it from 12th/13th edition Barrons.They follow Barrons very much.U can also refer Summers for tht and R.s.Agrawal Non-Verbal Reasoning.But always try to go thru previous papers first as in TCS qns r repeated.

Technical Interview:

My interview went very nice.First I was asked "How was ur day?"
(We were waiting for the interview from a long time)I answered:very fine sir.Then "hobbies" Asked my favourite subj.I wud suggest just prepare ur Favourite subject very well(all topics).They can ask anything.
As I was asked many topics frm OS(I didnt expect!!).But dont worry they'll ask only basics.Prepare C/C++ very well,especially C.They asked only C here.
GEneral topics-pointers(gave a program in C having pointers & asked me the output),

What is recursion?Can u give an example?,

string reversal prog,sorting,hashing.

Prepare DS-linked lists,hashing,sorting,etc.,s/w engg-SDLC,OS-wht is OS,CPU scheduling,C,DBMS very well(only fundamentals) with strong hand on ur favourite subj.

One imp thing:Prepare ur project very well.they generally ask abt projects( 3-4 qns on ur proj.) 

We had no Psychometry test as u might be knowing
HR/MR
Here they merged HR & MR
In HR/MR first qn-"Tell abt urself",I was asked my class rank also.then family background,if not selected in TCS wht wud u do? Wud u go for other companies ..tell frankly!?after selection wud u switch to other companies (foreign MNCs)?Are u willing to relocate?Do u know we ve a bond? Any qns to ask?etc..

My suggestion:Tell them frankly whatever u feel(dont bluff!) along with show tht u r deeply interested to go & work for their company.Collect information abt TCS. & say I wud like to be the part or rather happy to be part of such a company which is going to be in Global top 10 by 2010. They asked wud u switch to foreign MNCs if being selected?

I answered:If I get the progressive environment in TCS then I need not switch.Also by 2010 it is going to be intop 10 so I need not look for other companies.

Other qns they asked to others:general qns like strengths,weaknesses,etc.
OTHER general Suggestions:Always wear a smile (but a genuine one!!) and be calm & confident.

Also prepare ur CV well.They can ask qns based on ur CV.

If u dont know an answer simply say:I dont know sir.dont try to confuse them.....otherwise they wud confuse u!!!

ALL THE BEST !!!
