Round 1: TCS conducted an aptitude test consisting of quant and verbal questions.

The next day they conducted a coding round which comprised two questions and for each question there were only 5 attempts. The time allotted to solve both questions was 1hour, I coded both. Each question involved public and private test cases.

The result for round 1 was calculated on the basis of performance in both coding and aptitude tests.

I was shortlisted for an interview 🙂

Note: There were 3 interviewers amongst which one took my HR and the other two Technicals.
