TCS is the largest software company of India. It is the most
admired company of India. Being an employee of TCS is what many dream. And
getting into TCS is quite easy also. All that you need is your desire and work
towards it.
TCS placement process consists of two phases - Written Round (Analytical+ Verbal Ability Test ) and Personal Interview.
Written Round
TCS placement process consists of two phases - Written Round (Analytical+ Verbal Ability Test ) and Personal Interview.
Written Round
Written round consists of Analytical Test and Verbal Ability
Test. TCS has various criteria for skipping Analytical Test. If you are a geek
( in top five of a few stream like CSE/IT/ECE/EE/Mechanical ) then you will be
allowed to skip the Analytical round. Also if you have at least 75% aggregate
in 10th and 12th
and a minimum percentage marks in college ( This is set by TCS and
varies from college to college, May be 8.5 pointer or 7.90 or as desired by TCS
) then you can skip analytical round.
TCS is continuously changing its placement process so prepare for the worst and
do not pretend that you can skip the analytical round even if you are a geek.
If you are taking only verbal part then you will get ten
minutes time and within this time frame you need to write an email based on the
given scenario. One such sample scenario with proper answer is given below :
You are Navin, working in an organization that works with overseas clients. There is a call scheduled for March 27 with the client leader German national living in Berlin. Suddenly you realize that March 27th is Holi. None of your team members would be coming to office (in India) that day. You realize that you need to reschedule the call. You are a little busy so you send an email to the German client in Berlin. Write the email using following phrases :

You are a little busy so you send an email to the German client in Berlin. Write the email using following phrases :
Cancel-meeting-March
27th - Holi- national holiday
- reschedule – response – email – apologize – inconvenience - date
The answer :
Dear Sir,
We request you
to cancel the meeting to be held on march 27th and approve a new date.
We apologize
for the inconvenience caused to you. The meeting to be held on March 27th needs
to be rescheduled due to the festival of Holi - a national holiday in India.
Please let us
know your preferred date to reschedule the meeting. We will start the process
of rescheduling on your response to this email.
Regards,
Navin
You need to write the mail in at least 50 words. The idea to
crack verbal examination is to use all the phrase given. Do not make spelling
mistakes and keep it simple. You can practice the demo test on TCS Open See Same.
The online test environment will be similar.

Take online TCS Verbal Ability Test here.
If you are taking examination of both analytical and verbal part then you will get 10 minutes for verbal part first and then 80 minutes for analytical part. Even if you solve verbal part in less than 10 minutes the remaining time will not be added to your analytical part. Analytical part consists of 30 questions need to be solved within 80 minutes. You can easily navigate the question and exam environment is same as in TCS Open See Same. You will have an on screen calculator. You can also carry a calculator in examination hall. My suggestion is to carry your own calculator because on screen calculator will only waste your time.
Here are few resources that will help you to crack written examination :
1. Quantitative Aptitude by Arun Sharma : This is the book for a CAT aspirants. Believe me if you solve LOD 1 and LOD 2, you can easily crack the analytical round. This is the sole book I used while preparing for TCS. Here you will get each concept explained beautifully. Read all the theory and solve example problems also. Do not rely on Quantitative Aptitude by R. S. Agarwal.
2. www.m4maths.com : This is perhaps the best and most useful resource for online help beside Quantitative Aptitude by Arun Sharma. Along with the book you should also practice questions on this site. Here you will get a lot of previously asked questions of TCS. In TCS examination you will encounter a few questions exactly same as on this site. So do practice from this site and you will know the benefit when you will have exact question in TCS.
You will face a few reasoning questions also in analytical round so for that you may follow these books :
3. Data Interpretation
and Logical Reasoning by Arun Sharma
4. Verbal and non-verbal Reasoning by R. S. Agarwal
Personal Interview
Personal Interview round consists of three phases i.e. T. R.
+ M. R.+H. R. . So you will come across
three person. If you are being interviewed by a panel of three person than you
will have all the three interview in a single round. If you are being interview
by only two persons than you will have to go through HR round only when you
qualify the previous round. So this varies but you will have to go through all
the three phases.
Technical
Round :
In technical round you will be asked simple conceptual
questions. Never ever show how smart you are because interviewer is smarter
than you. Keep calm and be confident. If you do not know answer of any
question, simply say no and do not proceed with half answers or wrong answer
because they will trap you in your own answer.
In this round you will be asked question mostly from your CV. If you are
a CSE/IT guy then never ever rely only on your CV. It entirely depends on the
interviewer mind. If they do not see your resume then you will be asked
question from any topic related to CSE/IT branch. So the idea is to prepare
well for the subject and topic you have mentioned in your CV and also keep
sound knowledge of other CSE/IT subjects. This is what happened in my P. I. . They
reviewed my resume but not even a single technical questions they asked related
to the subjects or topics mentioned in my resume. So guys/gals be prepared and
have a basic knowledge of important CSE/IT subjects ( Data Structure, DBMS, C/C++,
JAVA, Operating Systems, Software
Engineering etc.) . They do not go in
depth of any subject and ask only basic questions.
I do not remember all the questions they asked me, but a few are as below:
I do not remember all the questions they asked me, but a few are as below:
- What is multithreading ?
- How multithreading is implemented in Java?
- Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 .
- Does Java support multiple Inheritance? If not then how an interface inherits two interfaces? Explain?
- Difference between Do – While and While loop.
- How will you display data of two tables? Explain.
- Difference between primary key and unique key.
Managerial
Round:
In managerial round they will check you managerial skill. So
try to give diplomatic answer and if they insist then answer what you truly think
and provide reasons along with the answer. A few questions are as below:
1. Suppose you
have urgent work in office that needs to be completed until tomorrow and
someone in your family is sick which needs you immediately then what will you
do? Work or Family?
2. Suppose you
get a project and you do not know something. Your seniors are very cruel as
well as your boss is annoyed with you. Then what will you do? You will keep
toiling on your own or will you ask your cruel seniors or boss?
HR Round:
This round lets you know about TCS terms and conditions. They
can ask you questions related to your family and other non-technical stuffs.
Basically they check your communication skills and presence of mind. Even if
you do not know the answer of a non-technical question, give answer in support
of that. Here they may also ask you questions related to pre-placement talk so
do not miss that one. Also do R & D on TCS and grab information about
TCS ( like C. E. O., M. D., Founder etc.
). If you have qualified the T. R. and M. R. round then you are almost
selected.
Here are the most commonly asked questions in HR round:
Here are the most commonly asked questions in HR round:
- Tell me about yourself.

- Why Should I hire you?
- What are your strengths?
Let me know if you have any problem while preparing for TCS.
