TCS Campus Recruitment Procedure

TCS is hiring in full swing and visiting campuses for hiring candidates in December - January. Those who are looking for detailed recruitment procedure - here's it:

To be taken in the campus computer network -

1. Aptitude Test: 90 Minutes for 90 questions

The test contains many aptitude questions which aren't very tough. You can move around questions and revisit the questions if you skipped them in the first 'go around' the question set. However, there are three sections [Verbal, Quantitative & Reasoning] and you *cannot* return to a section once you've left it.

2. Psychometric Test: 30 Minutes for 120 questions

I always wondered why TCS has this test in its campus recruitment process. Lot of students fear this test as there is 'nothing' really prepare for. So here's a tip for all of you: Just answer all the questions with positive attitude. This test is a multiple-choice question. For example if the question is "While organizing a friend's birthday party", opt for answer that is most positive and energetic (like "I take the lead and organize it").

Also, another most important tip is "Stick to the 'positive' tone" you've adopted. It's very important as the questions will be presented to you random order.

3. Technical Interview:

You'll be questions mostly on your final year/third year project and basic programming skills. Also be prepared to answer few questions on your engineering trade.

4. Personal Interview:

If you've reached the Personal Interview, there's a 99% chance you'll get through. Just answer all the question, have good communications skills and be confident, not over-confident.

If you want further tips or have questions, do ask in this thread. We've couple of CEans who work in TCS and they might want to respond to your questions.

    Well, you stand a chance to get to the next level of the interview directly if you have more than 75% aggregate both in your engineering course and your board exams. I guess tcs is following this strategy only for some colleges.

    In fact, one my of friend told that the only question posed to her was whether she is willing to work with tcs..If you are from a good reputed college, you can easily get into tcs. But true talents has to be brought out and appraised.

    All those things apart, i will try to provide more updates about the selection process . TCS is visiting our campus tomorrow.

    I have read that in one of the big university, I think CRM or something TCS recruited 2500 members ๐Ÿ˜€

    Moreover, Cognizant recruited 1750 students from VIT with 4.5 l.p.a as package!!

    @ES: Yeah, it is SRM university in chennai. CTS giving 4.5 is something unusual, may be for vit they would have fixed that package.

    TCS Interview is kind of fun...
    i had my first interview of life .. in TCS today and it was not more than 4 mins... and guess what i am in... ๐Ÿ˜€

    they just ask very basic hr questions.
    1) tell me abt ur self
    2) why IT ?
    3) why TCS ?
    4) how will u be comfortable in IT after Electronics engg.?
    5) In which dept. u like to work in TCS?
    6) Where do u see urself in next 3/5 years.. ?

    they just ask 3-4 questions from above mostly..
    P.s. > though in our college 1 out of 4 interviewer started asking about C/C++ to some students.. otherwise it was just conversation not interview...

    and most of the student appeared in interview were selected.. ๐Ÿ˜€
