TCS Interview Experience

Hi! I have been selected for TCS from our campus placements. Here is how I prepared and how the recruitment process took place.

Where did I prepare from?

I was trained by FACE in my college. They have provided me with materials for TCS preparation. About 90% of the questions were repeated from their materials. I have also prepared from their site faceprep.in and other sites like m4maths.com. These are the best sites for TCS preparation.

TCS conducted 3 rounds in our college

• Online test Round
• Technical Round + Managerial Round
• HR Round

Online test: The online test had 5 sections. Aptitude, verbal, logical, email writing, and C MCQ questions. Email writing was easy. There were hints given and we need to use each of these and write an email. C MCQ questions were very simple and repeated from FACE materials.

Technical Round + Managerial Round The students who cleared the online test were called for an interview. The interview was basically focused on testing skills the candidate is good at. I am from an ECE background. Since my favorite subjects were Computer networks and Digital logic design, I was asked questions about the same. I was also asked to write a few basic programs in C such as a Program to add two numbers, to check if a given number is a palindrome. Questions from Computer networks were as follows:

1. About the different layers and their functioning
2. About TCP/IP protocol
3. Difference between TCP and UDP
4. About subnetting

HR Round: This is the final round of the recruitment process. The questions were very simple and focused to test my communication skills. A few of them were:

1. Are you a team member or a team leader
2. Tell me about yourself
3. How do you handle situations when two of your teammates have quarrels.
4. Your hobbies
5. Walk me through your resume

The interview went smoothly as the recruiters were very patient and polite.
