TCS Latest Interview Process – set 1( NIT Jalandhar) ,8th sept 2013

In this post we are sharing the complete interview process of NIT Jalandhar.

Company name :   TCS 2014
package offered : 3.18 lacs per anum
Bond details : 2 years

No of Students placed : 500+ students appeared for TCS and around 260 students cleared aptitude and around 100 students got selected.

Main Areas to focus : General aptitude and Any one language

First round details :
Test was about 90 minutes.80 minutes for analytical and 10 minutes for verbal.
First was the verbal section.You have to use the words and phrases given to write an email or letter or else given.Take care about the grammatical errors.Take 3-4 minutes to think and then write it fast.Minimum word limit is given.Follow the format of the thing you are given to write.
Analytical section comprised of 30 questions.Well the questions were difficult than previous years but some were too easy also.If you have prepared for apti then thats well but if dont then dont panic.Maximum Questions can be solved just by using your brain.

Main Topics to concentrate more for apti :
1. work and time,
2. Profit and loss
3. permutation and combinations.
4. Geometry

Some sample questions like :

1. In a given triangle ABC, AB=17.5, AC=9. D is a point on BC such that AD is perpendicular to BC. Find the radius of the circle circumstanding in the triangle ABC.
( I am not sure about the exact number but the approach is to use pythagoras theorem to find AD so that we can find the radius)

2. Find the next number in a given pattern ( series type question)
( Some AP sequence was given)

3.  Three unit circle inscribed in a circle. Find the area of the largest circle?
( some measurement was given and its easy to solve. Please spend some time to learn Geometry section)

4. Some questions based on men and work type
(wages calculation questions and its easy)

5. Find last two digits of ( a^b) + (c^d)
eg : (1021^3921)+ (3081^3921)


6. Sum of three digit number is 17. sum of squared of digits of the given num is 109. If we subtract 495 from that num we will get a number written in square order. find the num.

Books may be helpful to clear first round :
Arun Sharma CAT book  and RS agarwal book.
( If you dont have one better order it from this amazon link(coz its cheap)  you will get the book within 2 days or else google and download ebook but pls try to have these books)

Group Discussion : No

Interview experiences:
interview will be of 2 or 3 rounds depending upon the quantity of candidates.We had two rounds.
First was mixture of HR and Technical.Tell him the programming language which you are strong  in a diplomatic manner when asked.They will ask you questions from that part only. Don’t say what you cant answer.
I said java and c and they asked questions from that part only.HR questions were general.Like introduce yourself,Family,relocatable etc.
2nd round was just a time pass.They read my resume and asked my achievement in life.It can be personal or professional.Thats over with interviews

Books  I used for my preparation :
1. Let us C by yashwant kanetkar
2. Java Complete Reference

Advice to aspirants:

Don’t panic.
Prepare analytical,If don’t, then don’t panic.Just use your brain.
If  you are weak in programming ,just prepare a single language to some extent.
In an  interview remain cool minded.Talk frankly but in professional way.
Don’t lie that you cant justify.My advice is just speak the truth in a way that it impresses them.I spoke truth


Special thanks to Jasmeet,Amit and Imran from NIT Jalandhar for helping us to know the correct Interview process.

TCS New pattern for 2014 batch

Hi, This year TCS totally changed their recruitment process. New pattern consists of following section:

1. Eligibility criteria
2. Analytical ability test
3. Verbal ability test
4.Interview
5 Selection


1. Eligibility criteria
For previous year batches the eligibility criteria is 60% throughout 10th,12th and college, and above 7.5 cgpa can attend direct interview round
This year the eligibility criteria will be set by tcs and intimated three to four days their visit to the campus.
( We guess that the eligibility cgpa will be set based on the average of 25 percentile of toppers that is among all the applicants. )
If you satisfy the eligibility criteria , you can skip the analytical ability section alone.


2. Analytical ability test:
Questions : 30
Duration : 80 mins
Negative marking: Yes ( 1 for correct answer and negative marking of 0.33 for wrong answer)
Some of the useful links for cracking analytical ability test

http://www.tcyonline.com/tests/analytical-reasoning

3. Verbal ability test:
This is a simple test for about 10 mins. They will be given you a set of 10 keywords and you should frame a passage( within 100 words)
In this test applicants will be assessed based on the proper usage of the given keywords and grammar.



4. Interview sections:

Pure HR Panel:
Easy to clear for the most part, IT IS REALLY CRUCIAL THAT YOU SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH OR ATLEAST TRY “. As far as i have seen most people with good English speaking skills were selected
Asked to give a self introduction about themselves(refer to the post which i made,should give a good idea)
“Are you ready to go anyway we send you are is there a particular place you like most?”
“Do you have a Girl Friend how long have you been together?”(for boys ofc)
They will ask you about your hobbies, if you say painting for example they will ask what you have done to improve your skills in it.
“What is your fathers job?” or “How many brothers and sisters do you have?”. For most of the HR interviews there was always a family type question, shouldn’t be a problem.
The biggest challenge you have faced so far in college
Why you choose your department and your favorite subjects (basically questions related to why you choose the department and your interests).

THEN THE STRESS TEST:
Here you can expect questions like “you have a low score in your aptitude why?“, “your marks are consistently low why ?“, “You don’t sound confident is that why you are speaking so softly “, “you are an emotional person is it not , you look very tense“.Remember these statements may or may not be true about you try reply with a smile and positive comment like “I will try hard next time ” or “I will do correct these mistakes” etc. Just don’t burst into tears like some of the girls in my college did NOT GOOD!!!
“How badly do you want this job?”
And of course the most common questions “what did you eat in the morning? “,maybe a slight variation like “you look tired have you had your lunch”.
Then there was some questions on details about the company like “who is the CEO”, “What do you know about TCS”, “Do you know what sector in IT TCS working”. For these make sure you visit the campus commune website and read all the details.
“What are you expecting from TCS?”. For this just prepare a well rehearsed answer like “To improve my skill and abilities in such a way that it is mutually beneficial to company and me”(What 2 of my friends said , both selected of course)
Some questions from the resume, your co-curricular achievements , extra-curricular achievements. In some cases the programming languages you know about.
Then some of the HR’s asked questions logical questions like “Two people start from Delhi and Pune one traveling at 20km/hr and the other 160km/hr in opposite directions both meet at a point who is closer to Pune?” The answer is easy both as same distance since it is mentioned that they meet, THE KEY HERE IS 
TO LISTEN CAREFULLY TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, some of my friends from other colleges did not answer and thought the one going at 160km/hr was closer.Be prepared for questions of this type testing your concentration.
“Are you going to do higher studies some time?”
“what is the hardest data structure for you “My friend said Trees, the HR are was like “Trees really what about graphs, the LOLed real loud”
“about the various certification programs you have completed and why you took them”

Tech Panel:

To be honest this isn’t hard really, all questions are simple nothing deep and tough. Some of the Interviewers did not even look at the code my friends wrote they just took the paper and used it as paper fans ,
Programming, Data Structures and project related
“Write a java code using try catch statements“
“Explain about your project, implementations, front-end, back-end, technical details etc” BE extra through about the details of all your projects
“code to implement a link list in C”. “write it using pointers”
Some will ask you to write code from your projects(For some mechanical students theory behind functionality of the project)
swap function without using temp variable
Explain linked list concept /stack/queue/trees
Explain different types of sorting
What is a null pointer, void point and a wild pointer
Explain the object oriented concepts in java(polymorphism,inheritance,encapsulation )
Then the sizes for various data types in C and Java
Program using thread/overriding/overloading in java.
Infix/postfix/prefix convertions
Java database connectivity.
what is a constructor?
other programs like prime numbers, odd/even easy stuff basic programming
Networks and OS
OSI layers in network model and functions of each layer
difference between TCP and UDP
“there are 2 systems in 2 different networks will you use a switch or a router to connect them”
What is the difference between switch, router , bridge
In OS questions related to the fork() command
Scheduling algorithms in OS
What is a semaphore
How many bits in an IP address
Draw a rough sketch of an IP packet
Layers of TCP/IP
A few questions related to the linux file system
Questions related to network address and host address
How is windows 7 different from XP
what is paging and questions related to that.
process life cycle
What is the ping command used for?
Database and Testing
This was all really easy MySQL queries which included select statements using where condition etc, very easy queries.
Also some questions about normal forms, 1NF ,2NF, CNF.
Black box and white Box testing differences
Types of testing?
What is a test case?
Software life cycle models(waterfall models etc)
what is meta data?
Why is testing important?
This section had the most easiest of all questions, just study all the basics.
Other Department Students Tech Panel
Yes there is programming but it is not that deep here are a few samples
“explain about your project “(most frequent question asked to 80% students i got this information from)
Then the interviewer asks what programming languages you know (most replied C), then he asks you to write a simple programming like prime numbers ,swap without temp etc. In some cases write any C program
To some EEE students the interviewer has ask how the ceiling fan/generator etc works
4 Mech students and 1 ECE student told me that the HR asked them their favorite subject and to explain about it
“what is CAD(he had CAD in his resume)”
Some questions related to data structures basics “what is stack”
Overall Programming and OS concepts are not going to be asked much unless you say you know them.For example if you say you know java obviously he is going to ask a lot from it. Mostly others departments had HR questions only or HR/tech.Everyone i asked said it was nothing tough .Make sure you know C programming , at least the basics.

Tech/HR panel

This is a mix and smash of both types of questions . Basically one HR will ask a tech questions and the second HR will ask a HR questions. My friends kept on talking for all the HR questions he says it help reduced the number of tech questions asked to him (I do not know the degree of effectiveness of this idea ). By far these type of panels are easy to clear too.
After a few interviews it should be clear which panel is of which type. In my college the placement representatives were responsible of putting you in a panel, just talk to them depending on which panel you feel comfortable with.

Some important things:

Speak clearly, most of the students who were selected could speak good English
Try not to sweat a lot.
Keep a separate copy of your resume in a stick file.
There was an incident in our college relating to under-performance. Basically some of the students who were already placed went in and said they were placed in such and such company and they don’t want to come to TCS etc or that they don’t like going for a job and want to do higher studies. DO NOT DO THIS IT PISSED OFF THE INTERVIEWERS AND RESULTED IN LESS PLACEMENT COUNT AND IS REALLY RUDE. The head of HR mentioned it during the closing ceremony. IF you want to under perform then do it without it being too obvious. This incident happened in 3 colleges so far as I know, remember do not let your actions effect other .(tell your friends who are planning on under performing this)
try wear a tie for boys and girls no high heels(one of the girls in my college tripped and fell in those ).

Selection:

Once you get selected, your offer letter will be provided based on your performance in the online assignments which they give.



all the best ....:)

13. A permutation is often represented by the cycles it has. For example, if we permute the
numbers in the natural order to 2 3 1 5 4, this is represented as (1 3 2) (5 4). In this the
(132) says that the first number has gone to the position 3, the third number has gone to
the position 2, and the second number has gone to position 1, and (5 4) means that the
fifth number has gone to position 4 and the fourth number has gone to position 5. The
numbers with brackets are to be read cyclically.
If a number has not changed position, it is kept as a single cycle. Thus 5 2 1 3 4 is
represented as (1345)(2).
We may apply permutations on itself If we apply the permutation (132)(54) once, we get
2 3 1 5 4. If we apply it again, we get 3 1 2 4 5 , or (1 2 3)(4) (5)
If we consider the permutation of 7 numbers (1457)(263), what is its order (how many
times must it be applied before the numbers appear in their original order)?
a. 12
b. 7
c. 7! (factorial of 7)
d. 14
