Hello friends, I am Mahesh from Electronics, Technocrates
Institute of technology, Bhopal.
We had TCS recruitment process on 15th of January 2011 at
our college. I would like to share my experience.
Nearly 500 appeared for Aptitude. We were made in 4 groups
and sent for Touchstone online exam.Most of the questions were from online demo
papers and previous question papers with changes in data. We have to answer 35
in 80 minutes (enough time!). There was no upper cutoff but lower cutoff was
around 22 (but it was rumored that we had lower and upper cut off of 18 and 27
respectively before the test , so many of us answered for 27). At 4pm in evening
they announced third round results and I was one of them in selected
candidates.
Around 250 made into next rounds. Many of us who had
answered for 27 or less did not get through. So answer for 30 or more.
Sometimes they check exactness of your answers as well.
I had answered for 31.
The second round was mix of Technical and HR. I had
technical round at 7.30pm. Me and my friend was asked to sit in front of a
Technical person. Initially I greeted him and sat but made a BIG mistake! I
greeted ‘good morning’ at 7.30pm! then I realized and corrected ( never make
this mistake coz it shows your presence of mind).
Technical: Tell me about yourself?
Me: told .
Technical: Tell me software development cycles?
Me: Didn’t know the answer. Told I don’t know
Technical: What are the subjects you had in first year?
Me: Told..like physics,C,Electronics,Basics of
mechanical,Civil…
Technical: Then he asked me to tell the differences between
4 stroke and 2 stroke engine
Me: I hadn’t remembered so told I don’t know. Asked the same
questions to my friend.
Technical: What is stress?
Me: told ( it took some time to regain the concept and told
in broken concepts)
Technical: what is pressure?
Me: told ( he did not check my resume atleast! Asked his own
questions!)
Technical: Tell me about your project work?
Me: till now I had bad interview after this I thought this
would be my last chance to impress him. I had started my project work recently
so I was pretty confident of answering this. So answered how I started, how I
am moving and Implementation ( Remember tell them implementation of your
project properly. Even if you have not started your project work know some
ideas and learn its implementation part. They don’t go in depth.)
Technical: ok you can leave.
Me : Left….
This person was not cordial.He did not check any of us
resume and certificates. But keep
yourself cool and answer without hesitating. Even if you
make mistakes don’t worry answer
for his questions with good pitch of voice.
Candidates who were good at technical were directly selected
and were told to wait for
results and the candidates who were not selected were also
told the same (to one of my
friends, panelists asked to collect his call letter right
after the interview). For those who had normal technical skills were sent to HR
round. I was sent to the HR round and that HR was very nice and cordial. He set
us, up as a group of 10 and asked one of the candidates to interview the other
in chain manner( suppose I will interview one and in the next turn he will interview
me). In this round he will check communication skills and confidence level.
Answer in bit louder voice. Questions depends on your
friend! So after my turn I was
asked to wait for results.
