We'll discuss the eligibility criteria for candidates below for both off-campus and on-campus drives.

College Name Not Appearing in the TCS NextStep Institute List

Alternatively, you can pick up the tcs off-campus drive option.

College name not appearing in the registration form indicates that TCS has not acknowledged your college for campus placements. Do not worry. You can still complete the registration process.

    We've receive multiple queries from candidates looking to use the next step portal -

    What does "candidate batched" mean in the TCS Nextstep portal?

    In the context of the TCS NextStep portal, the term "candidate batched" typically refers to the status of a candidate's application being grouped or categorised with other candidates for further processing or evaluation.

    When a candidate's application is batched, it means that their profile and application have been selected and grouped together with other applicants who meet certain criteria or qualifications.

    The purpose of batch processing is to streamline the recruitment process by handling a large number of applications in a systematic manner.

    TCS NextStep may batch candidates based on various factors such as their qualifications, experience, job preferences, or the specific requirements of the job openings.

    Once candidates are batched, they may undergo further screening, evaluation, or assessments, such as aptitude tests, technical interviews, or HR interviews, depending on the specific recruitment process of TCS.

    The batched candidates are typically progressed through subsequent stages of the hiring process together, allowing TCS to efficiently manage and evaluate candidates in groups rather than individually.

    Being "batched" in TCS NextStep indicates that the candidate's application has successfully passed the initial screening stage and has been selected for further consideration.

    It signifies that the candidate has moved forward in the recruitment process and can expect to participate in subsequent stages of evaluation or interviews.
