* For the verbal section don’t waste much time on any question if you know it just do it, If not then also do it and move to next.
* Do not read the passage go to the questions directly. Find keyword in the passage answer the questions accordingly, remember first question of the passage will be from the starting paragraph and so on.
* For the aptitude section just answer the common questions which you have memorized first, skip those questions which you have to solve there, after doing the common memorized questions return to skipped questions.

Test Pattern : The exam is an online one with three sections. There
will be no sectional cutoff so attempt all the questions. The pattern is
same as earlier but this time TCS has changed the questions in the
aptitude section.
There were 35 ? in the test which i gave and there was also negative marking so i had attempted 33 ? and left 2 ? unanswered.
I am giving a general idea of the topic wise questions asked, but remember it may vary in your paper.

Test Result: Online test result will be declared within an hour after
the test. Once you clear the online test then there are three more
steps to go. Most of the time interview is not on the same day & you
will get time to relax and prepare for the interview. At the interview
day, be ready with your folder having your resume, mark sheets &
certificates.I had the interview and everything on the same day our HR
Mr. Avinash Krishnamurty had promised and he gave us the offer letter
next day at 4.55 am adieus to his commitment.
Interview Tips: Before going for the interview please, keep few things in mind.
* Dress properly
* Always have a smile on your face
* Be confident and enthusiastic.
* Never bluff. If you do not know something tell them politely.
* Never ever argue with the interviewer
* Always try to lead the interview.
* Answers should be compact and relevant.
* Never try to pretend. Be smart and honest.
* Do not try to bluff the officials with fake mark sheets & certificates , if they caught you then you will be blacklisted from TCS for 3 years.
* Do not write anything fake on your resume, they will definitely ask everything mentioned in your resume.
* Conversation skills do matter for the HR & MR interview, for technical all you need is just give at least 60 % of the answers correct.
* Be prepared with common questions like tell me about yourself, Why TCS etc but do not mug up others answer be genuine and give your own answers.
* Please follow the interview etiquettes and try to avoid silly mistakes.
* If they offer you something to eat/drink be generous & try to avoid only first time. If they insist you then take it.
* Eye contact is very important. If there is more than one person in the interview panel then maintain equal eye contact with both of them even if the second person is not asking a single question.
* Remember interview is a selection process not a rejection process. They had already rejected students in the online test. Now, they are looking for a reason to hire you.

Technical Interview: This is the most crucial round of the
recruitment process most of the students are rejected from this round
only. Be prepared with your core subjects, training & project
details. If possible then carry your project report with you. In
technical interview you might be provided with some blank sheets to
solve questions use that sheet carefully & write everything neatly,
your sheets will be attached along with your resume & technical
round assessment sheet for the next round.
