TCS Interview Experience

Two months ago, I went for a Ninja job interview at TCS.

This chance was part of our on-campus hiring process which happened on February 15th, 2024. For this role, shortlisting was done based on TCS NQT exam scores that I gave on January 15th, 2024.

The recruitment process consisted of two main parts.

First, the online Technical test which I took in January 2024 at ION Digital Zone as my college is one of the priority colleges for TCS. The results were out in February and I got called for an interview on our campus for the Ninja role.

Next, the Interview process. This included three rounds: Technical Round, Managerial Round, and HR Round. All these three rounds were conducted on the same day at our college in offline mode. This interview covered many topics. I was asked to introduce myself, explain what machine learning is, and talk about the subjects I had done in my previous semester. They also asked questions related to key topics under Database Management System (DBMS) and the difference between MySQL and DBMS.

They asked me to describe Data Manipulation Language (DML) commands and to write code for a factorial function. They also enquired about my EAMCET rank and why my CGPA decreased in B.Tech compared to 10th & 12th grades. They went deep into my project work, asking me to explain the project, my role, and my responsibilities in it. Future plans were also part of the discussion, like where I see myself professionally after five years from now and why TCS is for my career.

On a scale of one to five, they judged my communication skills and inquired whether I had other job offers. They also asked about my career goals as well as what I gained from volunteering with an NGO (which was mentioned in my resume).

They concluded the interview by questioning me if rotating shifts were okay with me or not, and whether I could travel depending on the needs of the position.
