TCS National Qualifier Test 2019 - 2020 - Registration + Results + Eligibility Criteria + Important Dates
TCS is conducting TCS National Qualifier Test 2018 on 2nd and 3rd September. The registration is already on and there seems to be lot of confusion among the engineering students. Let's attempt at solving all the problems together.Â
This test is a part of TCS's national recruitment drive for its multiple business units. While the registration is currently on, there is some confusion about whether students are eligible or not. Let's look at what the official website says -
TCS National Qualifier Test Eligibility Criteria
Qualification: Only Full-Time Students fromB.E / B.Tech /M.E / M.Tech / M.Sc / MCA are eligible. Part-time students are not being considered.
Engineering Branches: B.E/B.Tech/M.E/M.Tech - All Branches and M.Sc - Computer Science/Information Technology and other related disciplines
Also eligible are: MCA with B.Sc/BCA/B.Com/BA (with Mathematics/Statistics)
Important Percentage Criteria to Note:
A candidate should have a minimum aggregate of 60% throughout in Class X, XII, Diploma (if applicable), UG & PG (if applicable).
This means that if your aggregate marks are below 60%, you will be disqualified from participating in the exam.Â
Backlogs
A candidate should not have more than 1 pending backlog at the time of appearing for the test. This means if you have one backlog; you can still appear for the test.Â
Academic Gap Criteria (Year back, leave, sabbatical)
Overall gap in academics should not exceed 2 years. This means, even if you got discontinued or year back, TCS will consider you for their National Qualifier Test
Academic Course Completion
All academic courses should be finished within the stipulated course duration as per TCS Eligibility Criteria and/or they should be completed within the duration as prescribed by the Board/University.
There's not much clarity on this criteria though. If the University suggests that the course should be completed in 4 years; there's no question of having a gap in the academic years. Let's wait for some clarity on this.Â
Most Important Dates:
- Registration closes: 20th August
- Test Dates: 2, 3 September
