Round: Technical Interview Tips: For this round just be cool and relaxed. There were three people in the panel for me…but it depends….some had even four people..According to me, questions were mostly on your area of interest especially if its RDBMS, questions are only on that (I guess those people are good at it),so just be careful in mentioning your area of interest.
General Tips: Most of the questions are based on your resume. So be good at it. If you have no idea about the answer, tell them that you do not know. Be careful, it may even be a stress interview, they may try to argue with you for every answer you give but don’t leave your stand..be confident with your views… Skills: College Name: Thiagarajar College Of Engineering, Madurai
Round: Test Experience: If you have more than 85% in college , you need to attend only verbal ability test .If you do not 85% you need to take up the verbal ability test and an analytical test. I had to take up the verbal and analytical test.
Thought I never knew how to solve aptitude.I NEVER PREPARED for aptitude also.I was sure that I was not going to clear the round and I thought I would think while the test was conducted.Aptitude does not strictly require any preparation, however in the internet a set of 50 questions are being circulated , and my friends who studied that found it very helpful while attending aptitude.The aptitude can be easily cracked all that is needed is an open mind and confidence that you can solve it. It tests only your basic thinking ability. Duration: 90 minutes
Round: Technical Interview Experience: TCS recruiters will first verify your 10th, 12th and college marksheets .In our college there were around 40 interview panels . A panel will have three persons.In my opinion one person in the panel was a technical person and the other two were HR people.Once I entered they asked me whether I had breakfast.I said yes. They they asked for my strengths and weaknesses. They asked about my favourite food, which hotel is the best etc…..
Then they asked questions purely based on resume , project , programming languages entered in resume, Paper presentation.I got a piece of paper and started to explain everything to them.Then they asked me questions on Linux commands.
At the end they questioned me for my poor CGPA. I said I had concentrated on emerging trends in the IT industry and so I wasn’t able to completely concentrate on studies.
Finally they asked me whether I had any questions, I asked about timings of office , dress code etc…
I was confident about my performance.

Round: Test Tips: For clearing aptitude, even if you don’t know any formula based solution for questions, apply logic and you can hit the right answer. Never get tensed. Don’t worry if you could not answer all questions. It is good if you attend at least 18-20 questions correctly. Never go for any guess.
All the aptitude questions can be solved even without formula. So never get down from the ladder if you don’t know the formula based solution.
Verbal part is easy. Practice writing formal letters. If you end up writing letter without any mistakes, you can pass this without any difficulty.
Round: Technical Interview Experience: The ice breaking question which they asked me first is: Tell me about your hobbies? You are good at writing? I answered yes. They gave me a topic “sudden augment in technology”. I spoke about it for 5 minutes. Then they asked me to conclude in 1 line. Tips: Be prepared to face any kind of questions. They don’t look whether you answer correctly or not. They only notice your way of approach, your way of reacting, your attitude Matters :)
Be thorough with your resume. They shoot up questions only from that.
The interview process for CS/IT is 80% technical. So get to know your area of interest. They don’t eliminate you if you are mediocre in technical. They want people who are bold enough to answer questions even if they don’t have any sound knowledge in that area.
