WHAT ARE THE TECNOLOGIES IN WHICH WE TCS PAPER ON 7th NOVEMBER AT CHENNAI Hai friends, The general placement procedure of TCS is: 1. Aptitude Test 2. Technical Interview 3. HR APTITUDE ROUND (Online Test) I was asked to appear for the TCS Recruitment process for the first round. I was sent a username and password and asked to log on to the website and fill in a f ew more details and then generate a Hall Ticket (PDF) format. I took 2 prints of the hall ticket and 2 copies of my resume along with me.

The section actually consisted of three sections namely 1) Verbal Section. (20 minutes)

10 synonyms 10 antonyms 6 fill in blanks 6 reading comprehension Prepare GRE words as much as possible. But dont waste lot of time going through t his section. Prepare a high frequency GRE Barrons word thats enough. 2) Aptitude (40 minutes) 38 questions In this section almost all the questions were from previous year papers. So for aptitude just practice previous year papers. That alone is enough. Be thorough w ith all the aptitude questions and especially the method of doing. Make sure tha t u get 35 questions correct out of the 38 questions. 3) Analytical & Critical Reasoning. (30 minutes) 3 passages This section was exactly from GRE Barrons (12th edition). The questions order was also not changed. So MUG it up. 4) No Psychometric Test. Try to get 85% in aptitude, 20% in Verbal and 20% in Analytical & Critical Reaso ning and then u can be confident that you will get short listed in the first rou nd.

TECHNICAL INTERVIEW No. of students short listed for Technical Interview: 2937 The Technical Intervi ew was conducted at St.Joseph College of Engineering, Chennai on 31st October. G etting short listed in the Technical Interview is quite an uphill task. If u doe snt know the answers for his questions jus be frank to tell him that u dont know. Dont try to make up with the answer that will create a bad impression on you. Before attending the technical round prepa re well about what you have mentioned in your resume. Also prepare well the basics of C, OOPs Concepts, Data Structures, Core Java, CP U Scheduling and Memory Management, S/W Engg., RDBMS Basics, OSI Ref. Model. If they ask you to write a program dont say u dont know, try writing it and dont wo rry about syntax and minor mistakes as dont expect 100% perfection from us. There were 20 panel of H.R for the technical interview. Majority of the panel has 2 H .R and remaining has 1. I was send to a panel with single H.R. These are the que stions the interviewer asked me and my answers and it went around 35min.

1. Market Yourself? 2. Tell me abt your project and the role u played? Ans: I told him abt my project in detail. As my project was on ATM n/w he asked me some questions in that and also abt TCP/IP. 3. What is polymorphism? Give examples? Ans: A OOPs Concept. Its the ability to take more than one form. I told him abt Method Overloading and Method Overriding.

4. What are constructor and destructor? Ans: Constructors are member function with same name as that of the class and a re invoked automatically when an object is created. Destructors are used to deal locate the resources allocated by the object. 5. Write a program for Operator Overloading and factorial? 6. So u know Java? Write a program to swap two no. is java without using temp. V ariable? Ans: When I was trying to write this program he asked me the logic and proceede d to the next question 7. Do u know SDLC? Ans: Ya. Software System Development Life Cycle 8. Explain me the phases in detail? Ans: I told him abt the Requirement, Analysis & Design, Program, Testing, Opera tion & Maintenance Phases. As I have mentioned S/W Testing as my Elective subjec t he asked me what are the testing methodologies to be considered before startin g a Testing Process and I told him the 8 testing methodologies. 9. What is CPU Scheduling? Types Ans: Its used to increase the CPU utilization. Types are preemptive scheduling an d non-preemptive scheduling. 10. Do u know abt Data structures? Ans: Yes. (Even though I didnt mention anything abt data structures in my resume he asked questions from that)

11. What is a Data Structures? Types Ans: Way to organize data. Linear Data Structure consists of Arrays, Linked List s, Stack and Queue. Non- Linear Data Structure consisted of Tree, Graph and Set. 12. What is diff between Array and Linked list? Ans: Both are Linear Data Structures. Array is used to store homogeneous data e lements and memory is statically allocated. Linked list contains no. of nodes ea ch node contains the element and address of next node and memory is dynamically allocated and so no wastage of memory. 13. Explain abt Stack and Queue? Ans: Stack is an ordered collection of data elements and where insertion and de letion operation takes place in top of stack and it Follows LIFO methodology. Insertion operation is called PUSH and deletion is ca lled POP. In Queue insertion takes in back end and Deletion operation takes place in front end, it follows FIFO methodology. Inser tion operation is called QSTORE and deletion is called QDELETE. 14. Write a program for POP operation in Stack? Ans: I told him it will take some time as the program is long and asked him, I ll write the pseudo code is it enough ,sir(Actually I dont know to write a progra m but I know the logic and algorithm).He said ok and I wrote the algorithm. 15. Why is sorting used? Ans: Process of arranging a set of elements in increasing or decreasing order. 16. Explain some Sorting methods? Ans: I explained the logic of selection, insertion and bubble sorting. The result of this technical interview was announced in 1hr and the HR interview was rescheduled to another day due to lack of time.

TCS PAPER ON 10th OCTOBER AT CHENNAI

Synonyms & Antonyms Here I felt little difficult at this section as basically am poor in vocabulary.. If u have very strong school background its enoughI think soany how i struggled my best for this section by reading thru same GRE Here the antonyms may be easy but the synonym only little difficult. And also u dont expect the High frequency words only wil come they r changing the r questions frequently only at this sectionSo u cant expect from previous paper a lone but chances are also ther to comSo note this idea According to me u go thru. Wordlists that starts with letter A,B,C,D,E,F,I,P,S,T,V(Definitely u will get 80% from this if u r thorow) Dont confuse between synonyms and antonyms differentiate and study so it may help ful for both.

Sentence Completion Here I felt easy and I filled correctlyU should not require any high preparation for this with presence of mind u can solve Read the para by giving contiguity and analyse the meaning so automatically ur mind feel which option suits best and ma ke itIf u cant then u dont waste ur time more herejus mark as u feel.and go They r gi ving paragraph of certain general issuea like women rightspolitics like that so it wil be easy only. Reading Comprehension Atlast after doing the best leave the left to the almighty definitely u l get shortlistedYa ofcourse I accept the word Hardwork never fails..As

I had written online test the results r displayed on the screen as soon as I co mpleted my whole test Really I m happy when I got Congratulations!

YaI described all my projects clear and in brief manner(and also dont describe in s torydont go in depth of the project alsoif u tel story def it wil mak them running out of time so they cant put further quest to uand ur credit wil fall) 3)Then, he asked my programming skills. I told C and C++.. I know java also but I didnt said it bcos I m not very much p roficient in that and also currently java is in peak they may be experts in java so we cant tackle all questions 4)After that he asked me rate myself in C I rated 5 out of 10 then 5) He asked me to put a simple swapping program without temp variable It is easy Jus this following stmts a=a+b b=a-b a=a-b And at the same time this works only for integer range -32767 to 32767 if they ask lik this to swap 50,000 and 60,000..then u just use ^ operator in th e places of + operator it works for all range of values 6) He asked me to speak out on the data types in C? Here I explained him all the data types and storage classes of C 7) Then he asked me how much familiar in JAVA? I told 3 out of 10..the reason is even thou u know java very wel b cool an gredi t less urself bcos wat we studied is academic levelWer as they r currently ding p rojects in java so they may b very experts in javaSo they may ask som critical qu es..So better note thisIf u really feel tat u can ans from anycorner in java then no prblm carry on.

8) He asked y u credited less in Java? Then I told the reason tat in a single sem we cant cover full java so only hav b asic ideasso he didnt asked any quest.. 9) then he asked me to tel d area of Interest in subject? I told DBMS and datawarehousing Then he asked me to speak abt DBMSI started from basic introduction wat is DBMS a nd wat for it contributes then al types of relationsand al types of keys which w e use to relate the relationsFollow silberscartz if u say DBMS as ur area of inte restthen told abt datawarehousing and datamining and etc..in a brief manner

10)Atlast the casual and cool quest he askedHow abt TCS and wat u know abt TCS? For this ques u better go thru current affairs and news of TCS in ther website d ef u get idea plsss dont be very theoretical b very casual in answering every que s dont ans as if u r muck uped even thou if u muckuped dont mak him feel tat u r m uckuping an ans bcos som peoples use to do lik this.

Section-3: Critical Reasoning Questions 1 to 4: Small University and Large University problem of GRE Barrons 13 th edition. This can be found in the model papers. Three persons J.K,L belongs to Small University with some subjects like English, Mathematics and Electronics assigned to them. M,N,O and P belongs to small univ ersity and M deals Maths, N deals Psychology. O and P have been assigned Latin. Then four questions based on this data. Its so easy. (Not same data, but names o f persons are same and pattern is also same). Even no need to do any arrangements with the given data to solve problems based on this. We need to just write down the given data in a conventional form. Thats all. We can answer the questions very easily.

Questions 5 to 8: A group of 5 people A, B, C, D, E are there. A knows Telugu and Hindi. B knows Oriya and Malalayalam C knows Telugu and Malayalam D knows English and Oriya. E, who is a native of Andhra Pradesh, also can speak Oriya. (Not same assignments, but pattern is same) Q1. If A and B need to communicate, whose help they should take. (Ans: C, Since C know one language of A and another language of B.. like this) Q2. Among all of these languages, what are the languages that are known to many people? (Ans: Telugu-3 and Oriya-3) The questions are like that. Even there is no need to do any arrangements are also. So, no need to worry about this section also. Questions 9 to 12: Sorry. Third passage I didnt remember it. Even I didnt get time to see it. But it seems to be some what difficult. I didnt have time to answer t his question, so I left it. Also I want to share a few more details with all of you regarding the TCS test. I thought of it to be online test. But because it was a large recruitment drive, they are not capable of conducting online test for that many numbers of aspiran ts. It was manual test. And coming to the test, for verbal section, GRE Barrons of any edition is enough. And for Critical Reasoning, Barrons 12th or 13th is enough. Then finally, for Qu antitative section, the same problems will be given with only changes to the dat a. These problems can be solved by even a 7th class student also. But the thing her e is the Time Factor. How fast we are able to do them is the thing here. The sam e problems can be given every time. So dont neglect to solve each and every probl em of previous papers, if you want to crack TCS test. After that, try to improve

the speed ving the problems If you do so, Im sure that youll be half way into TCS, one of the top IT firm in the world.
