Hello Everyone!
I am excited to share my interview experience of TCS Code vita season 11 2024. I hope you will like it and it will be helpful for your placement journey.
Round 1
- It was held on December 8, 2023.
- In this round, 6 questions had to be done in 6 hours having a window of 24 hours.
- It was a non-proctored mode means there was no camera or mic was there, you can get help from any reference available on the internet just make sure you don’t get any plagiarism.
- Though I was able to do only 1 question out of 6 still I was able to clear this round and get a rank of around 5k, only 6k students proceeded to the next round.
Round 2
- It was held on 20 January 2024.
- This round was also similar to the previous one but it has a slit change. There were 8 questions in 6 hours.
- I was able to solve 2 questions within the time.
- The questions in both rounds were of medium to high level.
- Only 2k students were able to clear this round and I am glad I was one of them my rank was 1047.
TAG Coding Round
- It was held on 8 March 2024.
- All the students who were able to clear Round 1 were invited to attend a tag coding test to ensure that they had solved the question by themselves.
- It was an incentive test means you had to go to ion digital centres for this test.
- There were 2 coding questions which have to be done in 90 minutes, each question had 2 public and private test cases.
- Students who were able to pass the public test case of any question got an interview call from TCS.
- I was able to solve both questions completely and I got the call for a digital role.
Technical interview
After around 1 month of the tag coding test, I got the mail for a digital role interview which was scheduled on the next day at the TCS Lucknow office which was near to my college location (Kanpur).
- The timing for reporting was 10 am and around 10 students from my college got the invite and all were in digital roles.
- After reaching the centre we have to wait in the hall for an interview.
- I was waiting there till lunch, after lunch I got an invite to go for an interview.
- There were 3 members of the interview panel.
- As soon as I reached to the interview room, one of them told me to sit and asked me to introduce myself.
Now, I am going to tell you the series of questions asked me-
- Do you know about SDLC, explain all the steps involved in SDLC.
- Difference between agile and waterfall model.
- What do you know about polymorphism?
- Explain the database trigger and cursor.
- Write a code to swap two numbers without using a third variable and any arithmetic operations. (Basically, they were asked to solve using bitwise).
- Explain Group by.
After this, MR asked me the questions-
- What is your final year project and what is your role in this project?
- Do you know about Aw, is it a public or private cloud service?
- Explain Ml algorithms and their types.
- This question was I think the deciding factor and I was not expecting at that time to satisfy me that you should be hired for the digital role, not for a ninja role.
- Difference between unsupervised and reinforcement learning.
In the end, he went through my resume and asked about my internship and my hobbies as I mentioned them in my resume.
After this HR questions were there-
- Would you accept the ninja offer?
- What will you do if you become a team lead?
This was all about my interview, it was around 45-50 minutes.
Verdict-
I am glad to inform you all, that I was selected for the digital role.
Tips:
- Go through your resume very well before the interview.
- Learn about new technologies like AI, ML and cloud especially if you are going for prime or digital interviews.
- Prepare for your internship and project very well.
- At least, don’t hesitate to say no if you don’t know the answer and be confident.
- TCS interview is also about luck, some are selected after a 15 to 20-minute interview, and some are not even after 1 hour.
