Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Prepare very well for Technical as this is the important round. I will suggest attend for 2-3 other companies interviews before attending for TCS as that will increase the chances of clearing technical round. Also you should prepare well to answer the questions from HR/Managers incase you have less work experience in previous organizations. You should have a valid reason for the same. As TCS believes in long distance runners instead of 100/400 meter race.
