Hi Friends.
Few days ago I was among one of you. I got selected in TCS on 10th Oct, 2012. I am a CSE Under-Grad. I have read many of the
exp, so I thought why not to write one myself and help the people like me.
I was not having 75%. So, I appeared for online aptitude test. As you all know it has 30 questions and 80 Minutes time.
On 9th Oct TCS gave PPT (Pre-placement Talk). They will tell you Top 10 reasons to join TCS. And Eligibility criteria and you can ask
any question. It was around one hour.
Online test started around 12PM. There were some server problems and test for second slot was cancelled and it was scheduled
next day on 10th Oct for second slot. My test started in 4th slot around 8:30PM. Questions were repeating from previous slots.
From my slot most of student cleared the test. And very few students cleared from first slot. For aptitude I prepared RS Aggarwal.
The pattern was completely new in our college. I attempted sure shot 24 questions out of 30. I cleared the aptitude test; my name
was third in the list. And one of my friends who attempted 25 questions was second in the list. I really don't have any idea if the list
was according to the marks or random. They never reveal cut-off. But they confirmed that cut-off varies from slot to slot. I have
collected some aptitude question from my friends also.
Few of them were:
Q.) A 9*9 Sudoku. Find value of 11X+7Y.
Q.) A 3*3 magic square. Find value of Y+Z.
Q. ) Eesha lies on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Usha lies on Thursday, Friday, Saturdays.
Eesha says: Yesterday was one of my lying days.
Usha says: Yesterday was one of my lying day.
What day was it?
Q.) A series of book was published at 7 seven year intervals. When the seventh book was published the total some of publication
year was 13,524. First book was published in??
Q.) Some time, work, wages questions was also there.
Q.) One question was based on clock mirror timing. It was something like a women watch time in the mirror. After 20 minutes she
reaches her school. She watched time in school clock and realize the difference was 2:30 hours. What was the actual arrival time?
Q.) A pentagon was cut from rectangle and all dimensions of pentagon were given. Find area of pentagon?
Q.) Probability
Q.) Permutation & Combination
Q.) Volume & area
Interviews started around 11AM. There were mainly three interview rounds Technical, MR(Managerial Round), and HR. Not all the
students faced three round. It was random. Some faced one/two/three. Some students even faced 4/5 rounds. First they
interviewed test waiver students (Top 5 and Above 75%). Technical interview questions vary from person to person. Many of the
students were asked to write C/C++/Java programs but not necessary all. My turn came around 3:15PM.
Me: Good After noon mam
TI: Hi.. Take ur seat.
Me: Thank you mam.
TI: how are you?
Me: I am fine.
TI: How was your day?
Me: It's a good day, mam.
(Be careful friends while answering this question. Basically they want to test your patience, your desperation for TCS and your
ability to stay calm in spite of so hectic situation. Anyone would have got frustrated, if he/she has to wait for 7 hours. But, it is the
time to show that you are still cheerful in spite of such a long wait. This shows that you are really interested for this job.)
TI: Aren't you tired?
ME: not at all, mam.
TI: Since when you are waiting for interview?
Me: from 8AM mam.
TI: What is your favorite subject? (Unexpected question, because most of us think the first question will be "Introduce yourself?")
Me: Computer Network.
TI: What is the difference between Co-axial and Optic-fiber cable?
Me: told.
TI: Why Optic-fiber is faster than Co-axial cable?
Me: told.
TI: What are different methods of information passing?
Me: told.
TI: What are different types of network?
Me: told.
TI: You low score in your 10th, but constantly improved your percentage. How is it?
ME: I have constantly improved upon myself. I always analyze shortcoming or mistakes that I make and I act accordingly.
(Friends be frank about your academics. If you lie, you will be caught. And you are certainly out.)
TI: Have you studied DBMS?
TI: Yes, mam.
TI: What is NOT NULL?
Me: told.
TI: What is Primary key?
Me: told.
TI: What is candidate key?
Me: told.
TI: What is ACID property of DBMS?
Me: A means Atomicity, C means consistency, I stand for Integrity. Mam, I forgot D.
(If you don't know frankly say "NO". Don't beat around the bush. Many of the students try to make guess just like theory papers.
This is a major turn off for the interviewer. If you have read a subject, it does not mean you must know answer of every single
question)
TI: She drew two tables on the paper. Asked me to retrieve some data.
