TCS
Interview Procedure
The test is followed by a Technical and a HR interview.The technical
interview is highly specialised and covers almost all subjects
you have done in your curriculum. However one is required to name
his/her favorite subject on which most of the interview is focussed.
For Computer Engineers C, Operating Systems, DBMS, Microprocessors
are mostly focussed upon. Electronics Engineers can be grilled
on DCLD, Microprocessors and Communications.
The HR interview which follows the technical interview is very
general. The Hr interview is also important. Mostly questions
are asked to test your temperament. You maybe asked your opinion
on a variety of current affair topics. We were asked about Homosexuality,
Lesbianism(the movie FIRE), Kashmir, Genome Project etc. In some
cases questions regarding the company are asked.
Tata Consultancy Services conducts a multiple choice test. The
test consists of four sections. The first section is the Verbal
Section with 15 questions to be attempted in 6 minutes. The questions
deal with words and their synonyms. You need a high level of vocabulary
to do well in this part. The second section is a Quantitive aptitude
section with 15 questions to be answered in 10 minutes. The questions
deal with basic mathematics such as multiplication, percentages
etc. This is the easiest among all the sections (try not to make
silly mistakes). The third section is the Reading Comprehension
section with 50 minutes to answer 60 questions. The fourth section
is a 30 minutes Psychometric Test with 150 questions. These questions
are generally simple personality based questions checking your
ability to answer consistently. Usually only a Yes/No type answer
is required for these questions.
