TCS Campus Recruiters Asked Candidates To Dance In The Interview Room

One of my collegue left TCS because he got frustated attitude of "chalta hai"(Everything is adjustable) .
Well, I think most of service based companies hire candiate on basis of
CGPA+Attitude+B.Tech. Degree+fluency in English. if it is not why TCS and Infosys are hiring non CS guys like EC and mechanical.
They hire them train them on their campus and assign on project.

This is what happens in most of the companies now-a-days...

I really hate this kind of attitude of interviewers. These HR people make fun of engineers and we still can't do anything about it. It is a shame.

This situation seems to be similar to ragging.

seniors rag juniors, and then some consoling is done by saying that the same seniors were once upon ragged by their own seniors.

I agree with you. engineers are desperate for a job, and they have to do anything that they are made to do to obtain one. Those HRs are aware of this, and now they seem to be abusing their power.

I like that question . If i am asked such a question in interview, i will reply outright that i am a playboy. !

That's a poor team on HR.

I think its okay ... because many students write hobbies in resume which are not even their hobbies ... It was just cross-check by HRs

yeah you have got a point too.

during my placement-training sessions, our trainer related a case. he said that a guy had written in his resume that his hobbies was to read novels. when the HR asked him to name some of his favourite novel authors , he replied "shakespeare"

I also got selected for TCS on 1st september.
Both of my Technical and HR interview were upto the mark.
TR took my interview for 10 minutes and i satisfied him. Mine was purely technical related to programming(c/c++/java) , Database and Operating system etc.
Also HR was quite good. He questioned me what should have been asked in an HR interview.
All interviews in my college were like this.

But the real point is that why do recruiters give unnecessarily so much stress on 'hobbies'. Many times interviewers won't ask about any other thing and will jump straight forward to hobbies and end the interview just by talking on hobbies. This shows that their real agenda is to have unnecessary talks and not to test work ability of engineers.
First of all what I feel is that hobbies should not be written in resume. The second thing is that while recruiting engineers, stress should be given to technical knowledge & ability and not singing, dancing, reading or cricket.

I was asked in Syntel's interview whether I have opened my cabinet anytime? I am a cse graduate. He expects that I never opened a cabinet? he asked me where to insert Ram and where is battery slot and how to insert a battery. I was shocked and felt like walking off the interview but in a jiffy the interview was done. Campus hiring has a very low standard specially for those companies that recruit in heaps

That's disappointing
