Round 1: The first round was an online coding round which consists of six questions that you need to solve in 6 hours. I was able to solve only 1 question completely and secured a rank around 10k and qualified for the second round.

I received a mail on 10th September 2020 that I have been shortlisted for a Pre-Placement Interview with Tata Consultancy Services Limited. The interview was scheduled for 9th September for those students who got rank upto 2200 and for the rest of the students’ interview dates were not mentioned. 

I got mail on 20th September in the evening that your interview is scheduled for 21st September between 2.00 PM to 5.00 PM.

Interview Round: The virtual interview was conducted on Microsoft Meet. My interview was between 2.00 to 5.00 PM, so I had joined the meeting through the link at 2.00 PM but I had to wait for a long time and my interview was started at 4.00 PM

There were two peoples one was TR and another was MR and MR told me that your technical interview will be conducted first then your HR will conduct after 5.00 PM.

So, Technical Round is started:
