First of all to give context,

I’m a student from B.Tech 4th year Computer Science & Engineering in a small town in Andhra Pradesh. TCS doesn’t even visit our campus. I wanted to secure a job through online contests and one of them been TCS Codevita.

I’m not very good in DSA as I was good in Machine Learning & Deep Learning. I solved 2 problems in Codevita and got a rank around 6k.
I was called in for a Interview at TCS synergy park – Hyderabad on 01-Aug-19. It was my first off-campus Interview!

our batch’s Interview Process is scheduled to start at 1:00 PM, Had to wait till 4:00 PM to get my turn.

( MR, HR interviews were very fun beyond my expectations )

MR
(handed out resume and sat after he said me to)

first couple of questions are on food( “hyderabadi biriyani” ) and on my resume trait (“witty”), checked tamil in my languages and joked that people from nellore will have to know tamil. then he was very impressed on my projects and asked me how many years would you work with TCS if been selected as. I said as long as the work is challenging and I’m compensated for it.

He asked If I’ll be discouraged, If I was given any other technology other than Data science, ML. I said, I Love learning new things and I worked on projects ranging from IOT to android. He asked If I was a team player as many technically sound people are only about getting things their way. I talked about my entrepreneurship course, how I think a team is more important than a single person and I explained about my project team. when he asked how will you resolve conflict in a team, I said I would make them reason with each other in a calm way and how most of us are reasonable.

He asked what is my goal in life, I replied to be an Innovator rather than ceo more of a steve wozniak than steve jobs.
(* He smiled *)

HR

Me : I won’t be discouraged and try to find jobs in other companies or try for TCS again with nqt, humAIn.

(* followup questions on weaknesses *)

(* questions on traits given in resume *)
