ROUND 2: This was the interview round. We were called at one of the TCS offices for interview. The interview happened in 2 types.
TYPE 1: For some of my friend it happened in two rounds. Round 1 was Technical+Managerial. and Round 2 was HR.
TYPE 2: For some, it happened in one round, Technical+Managerial+HR.
Mine happened with type 2.

The questions asked to me were:

1. Briefly Introduce Yourself.
The word briefly means a lot here. I was prepared with 1.5 mins introduction. But it was already 8:00 pm and still few candidates were left to be interviewed. It’s really bad when they cut in the middle. So in this situation, one should give the brief introduction. I told them about my father and mother. Talked about the technologies I have learned, the projects I have done. I told them about my internship and my job role. Later I told them about my hobby. This question was asked by the HR guy.
** You should make eye contact with everyone present there with a smiling face.

2. Why the mark is poor in class 12th while you got 10 cgpa in 10th.
This question is resume specific. Be prepare with your resume. Find every minor gap. This question was asked by the managerial guy. I was prepared with the answer so I answered with confidence.

** Answered. By difference in version, they mean what updates had been done in the latest android studio.

They are very friendly with a positive attitude. Mine interview went on for 55 mins and it was a great experience.
