If u see previous papers ,then only u can solve them in time. U will get same questions with out changing even the numerals also. It consists of 38 questions and u have to answer them in 40 min. 32 questions are general aptitude. 3 questions from data interpretation means a bar graph is given and u have to answer the questions based on it. 3 questions from venn diagrams. they are all very easy. Critical Reasoning: This is the most important of all.3 reasoning passages are given consists of 4 questions each. My sincere advice is to solve all critical reasoning passages from GRE Barrons 12th edition model papers. dont miss even single also.Only the names are changed. In most passages,even the names also are not changed. if u have no time,then byheart even the options also like CBDA etc... U have to answer at least one of the 3 passages. It was happend to me on 31-may-2008.The result was displayed on the screen when u complete the test. Be prepare well for all the sections.There is no upper cutoff. Technical Interview: It was very cool interview.But i feel so much tense at that moment.First when went to the panel ,he asked me about subjects i know.While i am saying that c,c++,java... he interrupted me and said that they are all under one section. So,prepare all subjects at a glance if u r from CSE and IT streams like operating systems,micro processors,computer organisation,DBMS,Data structures,Software Engineering other than above three. U have to be perfect in atleast one or two of the subjects.Dont try to bluff,be frank .False answers doesnt matters.If u dont know then u should accept it like saying that i was unable to recollect it sir etc.... He should know that u have the grip on the subject.

1.Disadvantage of inheritance. 2.Differance between drop,delete,truncate commands. 3.Differant types of Joins of tables and explain them. 4.Differance between DBMS and RDBMS. 5.Differant types of storage classes in C. 6.What the rollback and commit commands will do. 7.What is commit point and log table etc. 8.Differant forms of ls command in UNIX. 9.What is SDLC(software development lifecycle). 10.What is garbage collection and how it is performed in JAVA 11.Exception handling in C++,JAVA. 12.What r the topics u know in Computer Organisation.and some other easy questions....these r the main questions asked for me. So,try to cover all the core CSE subjects one time. I answered some of the questions and for some questions ,i frankly said that i am not able to recollect and i dont know. I thought that i wont clear the Technical round.But i was promoted to the next round. Its all happend on 2-june-2008.When i went to interview at morning 9o clock and came out at night 9o clock but interview happend only for 20-30 minutes. Management round: It was the surprising round for me in all the rounds of TCS. There are 2 panels for MR round.One of them is selecting all the members he got for the interview and the other is selecting only2-3 people out of 10. I was unfortunately gone for that panel.So i was decided that ill be clearly eliminated in this round.He asked about Eng.Drawing,Conputer graphics and some puzzles etc for the people who gone before me. But my interview was done very cool.He havent asked me questions in above said subjects but he asked me about the movies,hobbies etc .I was done this successfully.My interview is as follows. I came to college at

First he asked me to tell about myself.When i came to hobbies,i said that listening to music is my hobby. HE: Which type of music will u listen. ME: There is no specific type of music sir but i enjoy any type of music. HE: Ok.Do u see movies? ME: No ,sir. HE: Why dont u see movies they r also for the entertainment na? ME: When i want to get some relaxation i will listen to music sir.I also see some movies which are different and message oriented. HE: Then,what is ur last movie? Then i said the name of an old movie then I explained the message in that movie.He told me that to watch one new movie and he said that there is a message in that. After that he asked me about my village and how much distance it is and so on...it was done very cool. After this round, I got some confidence that I can easily crack HR round. *The key point in this round is that u have to stick on to one side only not like two sides of a coin. *Be confident when u r telling the answer.U have to be in a posion to justify ur answers. *Try to tell the truths only.Dont try to bluff.If u tell false,u have to be in a position to answer the consequent questions. It took 30-45min to complete this round. HR ROUND: It was done for about 10min only.He asked only simple questions.Some of those are as follows. 1.Tell about ur self. 2.What do u know about TCS? 3.Why should i hire u? 4.Will u goto pakistan when the company wants u to go there. 5.Will u read any magazines or books related to personality development? 6.Have u done any mini projects or presented a paper? and some easy questions only.Give the answers frankly and spontaneously.Dont get tension. ALL THE BEST

4) A Flight takes off at 2 A.M from northeast direction and travels for 11 hours to reach the destination, which is in northwest direction. Given the latitude and longitude of source and destination. Find the local time of destination when the flight reaches there? Ans: 7 AM (or) 1 PM 5) A moves 3 kms east from his starting point. He then travels 5 kms north. From that point he moves 8 kms to the east. How far is A from his starting point? Ans: 13 kms 6) Aeroplane is flying at a particular angle and latitude, after some time latitude is given. (8 hrs later), u r asked to find the local time of the place. 7) An Aeroplane starts from A (SOME LATITUDE IS GIVEN ACCORDING TO PLACE).At 2 AM local time to B (SOME LATITUDE). Traveling time is 10 Hours. What is the local time of B when it reaches B? 8) A plane moves from 9N40E to 9N40W. If the plane starts at 10 am and takes 8 hours to reach the destination, find the local arrival time. Sol: Since it is moving from east to west longitude we need to add both Ie, 40+40=80 Multiply the ans by 4 =>80*4=320min Convert this min to hours i.e., 5hrs 33min It takes 8hrs totally. So 8-5hr 30 min=2hr 30min So the ans is 10am+2hr 30 min Ans: 12:30 it will reach 9) The size of the bucket is N kb. The bucket fills at the rate of 0.1 kb per millisecond.

Sol: The time being taken to fill the bucket. After reaching program it waits there for 10ms and back to the programmer in 20 ms. then total time to get the response is 20ms +10 ms=30ms Ans: 30ms 10) A file is transferred from one location to another in buckets. The size of the bucket is 10 kilobytes. Eh bucket gets filled at the rate of 0.0001 kilobytes per millisecond. The transmission time from sender to receiver is 10 milliseconds per bucket. After the receipt of the bucket the receiver sends an acknowledgement that reaches sender in 100 milliseconds. Assuming no error during transmission, write a formula to calculate the time taken in seconds to successfully complete the transfer of a file of size N kilobytes. Ans: (n/1000)*(n/10)*10+ (n/100).... (Not 100% sure) 11)A fisherman's day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes ,fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5 fishes .He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So how many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week. Sol: good days means --- 9 fishes so 53/9=4(remainder=17) if u assume 5 then there is no chance for bad days. fair days means ----- 7 fishes so remaining 17 --17/7=1(remainder=10) if u assume 2 then there is no chance for bad days. bad days means -------5 fishes so remaining 10---10/5=2days. 4*9=36 7*1=7 2*5=10 36+7+10=53... Ans: 4 good, 1 fair, 2bad. ==== total 7 days.

Best of Luck to all of u...... TCS PAPER ON 2nd MARCH 2008 Hey Everybody... TCS conducts an online test which comprises of three sections. Section 1: ENGLISH(40 Questions,20 Minutes) Section 2:QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE(32 Questions,40 Minutes) Section 3:CRITICAL REASONING(3 Paragraphs,30 Minutes) SECTION 1: This section comprises of 10 synonyms,10 antonymns and 2 comprehensions. For synonymns and antonyms,refer GRE BARRON'S 12TH EDITION.Also refer to the antonym questions of part two and high frequency word list in any GRE'S edition. Some of them which i got were: ANTONYMS: 1.)Antithetical 2.)Stupefy 3.)Hidebound 4.)Hedge 5.)Sequestor SYNONYMS: 1.)Celibacy 2.)Equanimity 3.)Moribund 4.)Contumacious 5.)Pandemonium For comprehensions,just properly attempt any one of the two.And the other one could be done away with guess work. SECTION 2: 1.) Find the result of the following expression- M (737, 7) +R (3.4) +T (7. 7)-R (6.4) if, M denotes modules operation, R denotes round-off, T denotes truncations? Sol. 2+3+7-6 = 6 2.)In a city, temperature at noon varies according to -t^2/6 + 4t + 12, where t is elapsed time. Find the percentage change in temperature from 3pm. to 6 pm. Sol.In equation first put t=3, we will get 25.5........................... (1) Now put t=6, we will get 42.............................. (2) So %change = ((42-25.5)/42)*100) =39.3

3.)If g(0) = 1, g(1) = -1 and g(n) = g(n-1)-g(n-2) then calculate g(5). Sol. Start with g(2) = g(1) - g(0) = -1 - 1 = -2, g(3) = g(2) g(1) = -2+1 = -1, g(4) = g(3)-g(2) = -1+2 = 1, g(5) = g(4)-g(3) = 1+1 = 2. 4.)Which shape will be obtained by using these values of X & Y? X Y 0 0.00001 10 1.02 100 1.72 1000 3.00 9999 4.72 Sol): Y= log10(X) 5.)Find d unit of given expression - (Force*Distance)/ (Velocity *Velocity)? Sol. MASS 6.)A can copy 20 pages in 4 hours and A and B can copy 70 pages in 10 hours. How much time B will take to copy 26 pages? Sol. As 1 hour work =20/4=5 pages , A+Bs 1 hour work = 7 pages So Bs 1 hour work =7-5=2 pages. Time taken by B to copy 26 pages =26/2=13 hours. 7.) . A, B and C are the mechanisms used separately to reduce the wastage of fuel by 20%, 30% and 10%. What will be the fuel economy if they were used combined? Sol.Method is (80/100*70/100*90/100)*100 = 50.4 So, economy = 100-50.4 = 49.6 8.)What is the largest prime number which can be stored in 6 bit register? Sol.61....[(2^n)-1],it gives 64 but the nearest prime no is 61. 9.)How the given string how many Ys are followed by L that are not followed by PYLYPQMYLPMLYLLYQMYYLQYLPLYAMLYLM Sol. Only count pairs of YL and discard pairs of YLP.ans would be 4 in this case. 10.) Find d singular matrix from a given set of matrices? a) 2 3 b) 4 16 c) 0 5 d) 9 8 45 14 15 45

The product of slope(y/x) of two equations should be -1.Therefore ans is a and c. 12.) My flight takes of at 2am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 8 Hrs later at a place with coordinates 36N 80W. What is the local time when my plane landed? Sol. Every1 deg longitude=4 minutes . If west to east add time else subtract time and measure the longitude form GMT.Since 90 degree=90*4=360minutes=6 hours. Dont take into account the value of N and S if any.

INTERVIEW: I had three rounds of interview.The 1st one was technical,the second and third comprised of HR and MR questions.Yoir interview depends on the panel you have got.So a little bit of luck also plays its part in the interview.But remember to be confident,not overconfident.If you don't know something,tell them that u have read it somewhere but can't remember right at that moment or say sorry i have not read about it.Don't show your arrogance and don't interrupt the interviewer.Try to be humble to the most and try thinkin before answering.Take your time and then answer but don't fumble while trying to answere at once.And also show them time and again how TCS has always been your Dream Company. I am happy to be a part of such a prestigious company.If you believe in yourself and have faith in God..you'll definitely be a part of TCS too.So wishing ALL THE BEST to the aspiring ones. TCS PAPER ON 3rd MARCH 2008 Hello TCS recruitment procedure basically include 4 rounds: 1) Online Aptitude Test 2) Technical 3) HR 4) MR But in my case it was a bit different, after clearing the Aptitude test, i had 3 interviews in each of which i had to face all the three (technical, HR, MR) kind of questions. I'll try to separate out the questions into the 3 categories. TECHNICAL Although I am a CSE student, I was questioned mostly on Electronics subjects. So do take care about brushing up Electronics and Physics also. 01. NAND Gate 02. Ways to connect a computer in India and another in Switzerland (only 1 or 2 won't do, they wanted wayS) 03. Modulation-Demodulation 04. Working of a modem 05. Program for logic gates 06. Difference between MS Access and Oracle 07.

As said by everyone here.. the question paper consisted of simillar questions like the ones available over here. I did not feel there was a single question new that did not occur in a previous paper. I suggest everyone to go through all the papers they can and to solve questions rather then mugging up the answers because the values do change and some of the answers provided here were even wrong (very few though). If you can sove these papers, around 20 atleast, theres not really any need of solving RS Aggarwal for TCS atleast. For the verbal section, please go through barron's high frequency words, model test papers and learn all the previous paper synonyms and antonyms, additionaly learn more words for the words already put up in past papers. Lastly for critical reasoning do all the passages from Barron's 12 edition model test papers. My friends told that they had the same questions, some even had whole of the three passages as same. I did not go through many so i had only one same.. but i managed to solve the other two correctly. For the written concentrate maximum on aptitude and then critical reasoning and lastly syn/ant in this order. but dont leave any because you never know they might put up sectional cut-offs. Interviews There were three rounds of interviews- Technical, HR & MR in that order. There were 16 pannels with two people in every pannel. They were very nice and comforting. Anyone who cleared a particular round was called for the next one within 2-10 mins in our case. Because there was a large number of people to be interviewed on the last day (3 colleges) so they were calling the people who cleared an interview as soon as his/her form reached the next level of pannel. They had told that in case they fall short of time

they will combine the HR & MR interviews.. but they did not. In my and some more other candidates cases a strange thing happened.. We were confident of clearing the technical, but even when two hours passed we were not called for HR.. and some of the candidates who went for technical AFTER US had even gone for HR and then were waiting for a turn for MR.. we had assumed that we did not make it after 3 hours. We could not believe it.. i thought i gave the best technical interview, they were very happy with my tech interview.. and then.. when even HR calls stopped coming and MR were nearly done.. two of us waiting were called for MR!!!! we later found out that our pannel was taking tech + hr together (this explains why mine and Amits interview went more then double the length of any tech interview and even had hr questions along with technical).. These are some of the common questions asked at this placement session: Technicals Page 55 of 516

Electronics: Diff b/n capacitor n condensor Pin config of 8085/8086 Diodes n its types logic families or, xor,nor,and using nand the question varied in their entirety.. so you need to brush up your basics.. although most of the questions asked were from c++ only.. if one culdnt fare well in c++ then they moved to electronics.. but in some cases they started with core electronics.. so its very random.. u just need to be confident C++ define oops swap program call by value/refrence pointers, pointer to pointer data encapsulation recursion polymorphism file handling and they give some program to check/correct/explain/write etc you need to know atleast breif details of all the topics in c++ if not the entire details. HR about urself (please avoid d rum of d mills " i am xyz, i did my schooling from abc i am in pqr college, i got so many marks n stuff... they can read this from your resume) they make question of what you say.. so be carefull in what you say and be very sure of everything you write in your resume why IT (if from any other branch) why TCS? what are your career plans? do you plan to go out of the country? mba/gmat?? examples of how you can conclude on what your strengths are.. can you sign a bond? MR they scan your resume and ask you about some achievements they may give you some situations and ask how will you react to them some were even asked general knowledge questions basically they check your confidence and the way you handle things. SOME USEFULL TIPS >dont think you can bluff them, dont even try to >if you dont know something, you can let them know that u dont know it, this wont harm you >dont be over confident

marking 3 sections : verbal (20 mins) , aptitude (40 mins) , critical (20 mins) If u don`t clear the apti, critical reasoning section doesn`t open.. so u NEED to clear this section for sure!! U can do to & fro in the same section.. but once the time is over 4 a particular section, u will not be able to even view the previous section`s questions.. so, my advice wud be that u should keep attempting the questions as they come (as there`s no ve marking) & just keep noting down the guessed questions` numbers & if u get free time in the end, then come back to those & try to solve them.. Dont forget to submit each question after attempting. Each question appears one by one in apti section.

Just do the exercises given at the back only.. Some ppl try to mug up d various comprehension passages of GRE barons.. but I cud solve it then n there.. just brush up on ur reading speed, n I guess it`ll be a cake walk.. APTITUDE SECTION (40 mins) There wasn`t a SINGLE question that was not repeated.. (I wud recommend d paper posted by `anuj gupta` on dis site itself 4 referring 2 d various solved numericals dat r generally asked..) There r around 38 questions dat u have 2 do in 40 mins.. but trust me, if u`ve done d previous question papers, u`ll even have extra time left 4 reviewing n revising also.. Data interpretation question was asked too, but it as also easy.. CRITICAL REASONING (20 mins) Only if u clear d aptitude section, will dis section open.. so, u`ll knw dat if u`ve been scoring ok enough, critical reasoning section will appear.. just do d ones given in barrons model test papers.. n u`ll have confidence.. though d names will be changed, so jus don`t mug it up.. though, in my case, there were 3 passages with 4 questions each & i`d done most of d barons critical stuff.. but only 1 passage came from barrons n rest 2, I had 2 solve then & there.. so, keep ur cool even if u get a completely new reasoning passage..) THE INTERVIEWS: There were in total 3 interviews.. a technical, an HR n an MR.. (I knw, sounds too many.. rite?) But, believe me, if u`re done with d tech, u`re 95% there.. TECHNICAL INTERVIEW There were 2 interviewees n I greeted them with a smile.. Well, it started quite vaguely.. I introduced myself, n told abt poetry as one of my interests.. (I do write poems.. n don`t ever try 2 cheat abt ur interests atleast..) He asked me 2 recite a poem n also warned me dat it shudn`t be

on net.. But, because I do write, I was confident abt my originality n they loved d poem.. A ew questions abt my av subject, c++ (told me to write a program of Fibonacci series), more ECE subject based questions.. Then, he went down to my achievements, my strengths n weaknesses.. I couldn`t believe that this was my tech interview goin on with those questions.. anyways, when I finished of with it, I knew that Id left a mark.. HR & MR INTERVIEWS I certainly blieve that once u r done with d tech, u r 95% there & that really boosted up my confidence to grab the opportunity comin my way.. to get placed in TCS & simply go in there with the same drive.. give ur best shot.. n ya, DONT LOOK NERVOUS AT ALL, EVEN IF U R.. otherwise theyll pull ur leg at each moment.. Well, HR & MR r mere formalities.. so, jus be in ur own self, calm & composed but at the same time energetic enough to interest them.. Page 58 of 516

TCS PAPER ON 8th MARCH AT LUCKNOW Hi friends, I m YUSUF KHAN (MCA 2006-09)from BBDNITM LKO. I was appeared in TCS recruitment process on 8th march 2008 at BBDNITM lko. There were three rounds- written test (online), TI (technical interview) and HR round. Basically TCS recruitment process starts with the online exam. ROUND 1 Online exam pattern:: It basically consist three sections- VERBAL,QUANT APTITUDE and CRITICAl reasoning.There was no sectional cut off. Tcs has fixed cutoff for whole written test it is not based on the high scorers. So as u complete the test ,the result will be displayed immediately and if u r selected then u r eligible for other rounds. VERBAl SECTION: :it consists of 10 Antonyms,10 synonyms and abt 10 to 12 ques based on passage reading. SYNONYMS: florid mirage furor choleric infirmity pinnacle voracious slump placate expound ANTONYMS: lugubrious retrospection industry mitigate synergy boorish gamely indigenous fascinate prostrate (Actually these are the words which I got in my test paper, but I would advise not to waste ur time in learning English first coz no one can get more than two or three words, so dont worry for that just see all the words from previous papers.)

SECTION -2 (APTITUDE) 1) If log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364 then find log 0.319 ? Sol) log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364, then log 0.319=log0.318+(log(0.3180.317)) = 0.3396 2)My flight takes of at 2am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 10 Hrs later at a place with coordinates 36N70W. What is the local time when my plane landed? 6:00 am b) 6:40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00 Sol) The destination place is 80 degree west to the starting place. Hence the time difference between these two places is 5 hour 20 min. (=24hr*80/360). When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10 hours). Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = 6: 40 AM 3) what's the answer for that : A, B and C are 8 bit no's. They are as follows: A -> 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 ( - =minus, u=union) Find ((A - C) u B) =? To find A-C, We will find 2's compliment of C and them add it with A, That will give us (A-C) 2's compliment of C=1's compliment of C+1 =11000101+1=11000110 A-C=11000101+11000110 =10001001 Now (A-C) U B is .OR. logic operation on (A-C) and B 10001001 .OR . 00110011 The answer is = 10111011, Whose decimal equivalent is 187. 4) In a two-dimensional array, X (9, 7), with each element occupying 4 bytes of memory, with the address of the first element X (1, 1) is 3000, find the address of X (8, 5) Sol) initial x (1,1) = 3000 u hav to find from x(8,1)so u have x(1,1),x(1,2) ... x(7,7) = so u have totally 7 * 7 = 49 elementsu need to find for x(8,5) ? here we have 5 elements each element have 4 bytes : (49 + 5 -1) * 4 = 212 -----( -1 is to deduct the 1 element ) 3000 + 212 = 3212 5)The size of a program is N. And the memory occupied by the program is

given by M = square root of 100N. If the size of the program is increased by 1% then how much memory now occupied ? Sol) M=sqrt(100N) N is increased by 1% therefore new value of N=N + (N/100) =101N/100 M=sqrt(100 * (101N/100) ) Hence, we get M=sqrt(101 * N) 6)In two dimensional array X(7,9) each element occupies 2 bytes of memory.If the address of first element X(1,1)is 1258 then what will be the address of the element X(5,8) ? Sol) Here, the address of first element x[1][1] is 1258 and also 2 byte of memory is given. now, we have to solve the address of element x[5][8], therefore, 1258+ 5*8*2 = 1258+80 = 1338 so the answer is 1338.

Not a type of (All questions are repeated so learn the answers of all ques from previous year paper, so plz go through all prev year questions) CRITICAL SECTION:: Actually this is the most important, scoring and deciding section of the test. All the questions are from GRE BARON (strictly 12th edition) so go through all 5 model test papers analytical section (1 to 5) given at last in Baron. No need to waste ur time and money in buying other books for TCS just go through Baron only ,all questions are from this book. ROUND 2: TECHNICAL INTERVIEW:: Be prepared for the technical interview. Mostly its on the same day after one hour.Prepare few of ur subjects very well like C,C++,DS,DBMS(specially queries),OS,COMP Networks,OOPs concepts etc.Hey friends dont be afraid, thay wil not ask u anything in depth they just check ur awareness and ask only some basic conceptual questions. They may ask abt ur fav subjects bt still they ask u abt DBMS n other subjects that u hv studied in earlier sem, so dont tell them the names of the subjects in which u dont hv good command. If u dont know anything abt the ques asked by them then dont try to make false stories or guesses, just simply deny that u dont know, and always try to divert them towards ur fav subjects. They will ask u abt ur project ,if u hv done any, so be prepared for it, its E R diagram, SRS,front end, back end,DFD,and overview of the project etc.Dont BE quiet, be talkative nd dont get embarrassed if u dont know the answer.be confident.i m attaching few most important ques of DBMS,SQL,C,C++ etc for TI , just go through

ROUND 3: HR ROUND:: The key elements for this ROUND according to me are-CCT i.e. be Calm,be Confident(not over confident) and be Talkative. Basically they ask u all those ques that are typically asked in all interviews so be prepared for it ,readymade answers.Normally they check ur confident level, English speaking, and wat efforts u hv done before coming to face HR interview. Just go through the home page of TCS website and collect in formations abt them like:: Page 62 of 516

He asked Whts platform for dis. I said Java Sir . He said You know Java . I said only Core Java . He asked What is Multithreaded ? . Told . ( Upto 5 mins he asked questions related to Multithreading , I gave answer to all questions ) . He asked Wht is Inheritance ? . Told . He asked Is dere any concept of Multiple Inheritance ? . I said No . He asked Then How can we achieve Multiple Inheritance ?. I said We can use Interfaces. He asked few questions on Interfaces . He asked about RDBMS . (My favourite ). I told everything about RDBMS . He asked Wht is DDL & DML ?. Told . They both asked a lot questions on RDBMS & answered all of them . Finally the lady questioned Do u know JDBC ? I said Yes ! I used JDBC in my project . Then She said Can u just write the code to connect Java with any Database ?. I wrote the whole code for connection . And then I came out of the room . HR Round : After 5 mins or so ,I got a call for Hr interview . I entered the room May I come in MAM ? . There were two sweet females . I said Good morning Mam . They said Good morning . They said Tell me about yourself which is not mentioned in ur CV. I said My hobbies r , My strengths are , My weakness are . In d weakness section I said Due to dedicated work my social Life gets affected . She said Ashutosh ! U r very smart . She repeated

After few more questions , I got out of the room . MR round (Next Day) : I entered the room saying May I come in Sir . This time there was only 1 single guy . He seems to b a very experienced man . He said Come in . He said Tell me about yourself , Explain both ur projects (2) . This time only ull speak & Ill listen . I started off & ended up explaining my both two projects . He asked few questions on my project ( especially from the second project ) . Then he asked me some general questions .At last he asked me to solve 1 puzzle "There r 9 points & I was supposed to join dese points with only 4 lines " . I did this . Then he again gave another puzzle ,which was a bit tough for me . I wasn't able to solve dis 1 . It's like if u dont answer or able to crack dese baffles ,u dont need to b worry ,coz dese things hardly matters . But ,If u'll solve dem ,it'll b an added advantage for u . Otherwise ,I think dat only d Technical interview is important . It's like 70% - Tech interview , 20% - Hr Interview & 10 % - Mr Interview . After 3-4 long hours results were announced & My name was there . I was very happy . Its very easy to crack TCS . Guys u can do it , I must say AnyBody can do it . TCS PAPER ON 11 MARCH AT LUCKNOW. Hello friends .I m Ashok Maurya from INTEGRAL UNIVERSITY. my branch is ECE.i appeared in the campus placements organized by TCS held at Integral University on 11th & 12th march 08. There was no sectional cut off, no upper cut off, but what i felt was that for critical reasoning u must have to do at least one passage consisting of 4 questions correctly . WRITTEN TEST: It was an online test which consisted of three sections: 1) Verbal. 2) Quantitative Aptitude. 3) Critical Reasoning. VERBAL

SECTION: It consisted of 10 antonyms, 10 synonyms and two passage in which you have to fill in the blanks with correct sentences. For antonyms do only the 5 model test papers & for synonyms prepare the exercises in the high freq. word list. Though I got only 4 antonyms & 2 synonyms in the paper but it is enough & rest of all I marked option c. For passage the time left was very less. Its a bit difficult but dont worry, u can get through even if u don know anything in verbal. Refer barrons 12th edition only. QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE: It consisted of 38 questions 40 mins. Very easy. All previous year questions were repeated. Sometimes they dont even change the data. I will suggest that go through all d previous yrs papers.Some questions which I remember are given below: Page 65 of 516

CRITICAL REASONING: This section consisted of 3 passages and 4 questions each(total 12 question). It was for 30 mins. All the questions were from 12 edition Barrons . They don even change the data and the order of questions. They just cut copy paste from BARRONS 12 EDITION. Since it was online test for us so everyone had different set of questions. For this section I would suggest that do all the analytical passages, having 4 or more questions, from the 5 model test papers of Barrons 12th edition. if u r not able to understand then just learn or mug up the answers. The passages that I got were: 1. First question was red and brown marriage group 2. Second was hotel Miramar. 3. Third was the Prahtu & Brahtu. TECHNICAL AND HR INTERVIEW: I had the technical & hr interview on the next day, in the afternoon just after lunch. My first question was tell about ur self. I m from ECE branch & since I havent mentioned any subject of interest so they started asking the basics of electronics.Like diode,rectifier(half wave,full wave,center tapped,bridge rectifier etc.),characteristics of diode,zener diode,avalanche breakdown, BJT, FET, uses of pnp transistor, configurations(common base, CE, CC), gain factor etc.. Then he started asking from digital elex like multiplexer, demux, decoder, flip flops(types, logic diagram, etc..) , thyristors from power elex,some quest were from communications.. then he asked the basics of c++ & asked me to write a program for finding largest of 3 nos. comparing a no. not more than twice, in one line. Hint: a>b?(a>c?a:c):(b>c?b:c) Then they asked general questions like: Why tcs? u r from elex background then why IT sector? etc Please remember whether u r a IT or a

non IT student they expect u to have some basic idea about c or c++. He gave me some situations asked that what will u do in that situation..plz keep in mind that even if u dont know the answer just give a cute smile & be confident. I thought that my tech & hr were combined but after some time I got a call for hr . there he asked the similar questions like tell abt ur self, why tcs,etc..then he asked about my father what he do & family backgroundthen he asked about the TATA crucible ( a quiz) that I mentioned in my cvasked my hobbies & asked that what I think on India Vs Australia controversies.DO prepare basic information about tcs.(especially its vision mission n valuesits CEO,chairman..companys status.recent news about comPANY.etc & listen the pre placement talk carefully). Finally they asked me do u want 2 ask anything?......so DO prepare some qs 4 this.What I asked was that :what I m lacking & what u expect me to do to improve it , since I have still 1 yr to spend at the college b4 joining, so it can benefit me as well as the company. He smiled & answered.

My friends & my seniors helped me a lot.i thanx to all of them..the main thing is that just be confident and have a smile on your face. That is the secret to get through TCS. In the night the results were declared & I was one among the students to be selected. BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!!! MEET YOU AT TCS. TCS PAPER ON 11th MARCH 2008 AT LUCKNOW Hi friends i am RAHUL from INTEGRAL UNIVERSITY . ..i have got placed with TCS , thru campus placements......out of 207 .students 98 cleared written and finally 32 selected. n i am thankful to each one of u for being so informative thru this group n specially to all those who provided me with info abt TCS in last few days... thr selection procedure. 1. u need to hv first class throughtout(10th,12th,grad) 2. engineering student then 60% n above 3.if post grad(MCA) 60% n above Paper pattern 1- set has three sections a> English(10 antonyms n 10 syno..)...( 32 marks 20 mins) b> Reading comprehension passages and comleting sentence(6 + 6)marks 2nd section is Quantitative...(40 mins 32 ques).. 3rd section is Critical reasoning..(30 mins 12 ques..) FOR ANTONYMS N SYNONYMS just go through the barrons 12 edition .but i think thats too much so its better not to worried about the antonyms and synonyms .they are too tough and dont waste ur time in that becoz the time alloted for this section is just 20 minutes.......and you have to complete the reading comprehension and sentence completion as well.............. REMEMBER- there is no sectional cut off and no upper or lower cut off neither any type of negative marking......so attempt all the question.....

y= 1 kg packs x + y = 150 .......... Eqn 1 2x + y = 264 .......... Eqn 2 Solve the Simultaneous equation; x = 114 so, y = 36 ANS : Number of 2 kg Packs = 114. 3) My flight takes of at 2am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 10 Hrs later at a place with coordinates 36N70W. What is the local time when my plane landed? 6:00 am b) 6:40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00 Sol) The destination place is 80 degree west to the starting place. Hence the time difference between these two places is 5 hour 20 min. (=24hr*80/360). When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10 hours). Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = 6: 40 AM 4) A plane moves from 9N40E to 9N40W. If the plane starts at 10 am and takes 8 hours to reach the destination, find the local arrival time ? Sol) Since it is moving from east to west longitide we need to add both ie,40+40=80 multiply the ans by 4 =>80*4=320min convert this min to hours ie, 5hrs 20min It takes 8hrs totally . So 8-5hr 20 min=2hr 40min So the ans is 10am+2hr 30 min =>ans is 12:30 it will reach 5) The size of the bucket is N kb. The bucket fills at the rate of 0.1 kb per millisecond. A programmer sends a program to receiver. There it waits for 10 milliseconds. And response will be back to programmer in 20 milliseconds. How much time the program takes to get a response back to the programmer, after it is sent? Please tell me the answer with explanation. Very urgent. Sol) see it doesn't matter that wat the time is being taken to fill the bucket.after reaching program it waits there for 10ms and back to the programmer in 20 ms.then total time to get the response is 20ms +10 ms=30ms...it's so simple.... 6) A file is transferred from one

location to another in 'buckets'. The size of the bucket is 10 kilobytes. Each bucket gets filled at the rate of 0.0001 kilobytes per millisecond. The transmission time from sender to receiver is 10 milliseconds per bucket. After the receipt of the bucket the receiver sends an acknowledgement that reaches sender in 100 milliseconds. Assuming no error during transmission, write a formula to calculate the time taken in seconds to successfully complete the transfer of a file of size N kilobytes. (n/1000)*(n/10)*10+(n/100)....as i hv calculated...~~!not 100% sure 7) A fisherman's day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes, fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5 fishes. He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So how many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week Page 71 of 516

Ans:4 good, 1 fair n 2 bad days Sol) Go to river catch fish 4*9=36 7*1=7 2*5=10 36+7+10=53... take what is given 53 good days means --- 9 fishes so 53/9=4(remainder=17) if u assume 5 then there is no chance for bad days. fair days means ----- 7 fishes so remaining 17 --- 17/7=1(remainder=10) if u assume 2 then there is no chance for bad days. bad days means -------5 fishes so remaining 10---10/5=2days. Ans: 4 good, 1 fair, 2bad. ==== total 7 days. x+y+z=7--------- eq1 9*x+7*y+5*z=53 -------eq2 multiply eq 1 by 9, 9*x+9*y+9*z=35 -------------eq3 from eq2 and eq3 2*y+4*z=10-----eq4 since all x,y and z are integer i sud put a integer value of y such that z sud be integer in eq 4 .....and ther will be two value y=1 or 3 then z = 2 or 1 from eq 4 for first y=1,z=2 then from eq1 x= 4 so 9*4+1*7+2*5=53.... satisfied now for second y=3 z=1 then from eq1 x=3 so 9*3+3*7+1*5=53 ......satisfied so finally there are two solution of this question (x,y,z)=(4,1,2) and (3,3,1)... 8) Y catches 5 times more fishes than X. If total number of fishes caught by X and Y is 42, then number of fishes caught by X? Sol) Let no. of fish x catches=p no. caught by y =r r=5p. r+p=42 then p=7,r=35 9) Three companies are working independently and receiving the savings 20%, 30%, 40%. If the companies work combinely, what will be their net savings? suppose total income is 100 so amount x is getting is 80 y is 70 z =60 total=210 but total money is 300 300-210=90 so they are getting 90 rs less

90 is 30% of 300 so they r getting 30% discount 10) The ratio of incomes of C and D is 3:4.the ratio of their expenditures is 4:5. Find the ratio of their savings if the savings of C is one fourths of his income? Sol) incomes:3:4 expenditures:4:5 3x-4y=1/4(3x) 12x-16y=3x 9x=16y y=9x/16 (3x-4(9x/16))/((4x-5(9x/16))) ans:12/19 11) If G(0) = -1 G(1)= 1 and G(N)=G(N-1) - G(N-2) then what is the value of G(6)? ans: -1 bcoz g(2)=g(1)-g(0)=1+1=2 g(3)=1 g(4)=-1 g(5)=-2 g(6)=-1 12) If A can copy 50 pages in 10 hours and A and B together can copy 70 pages in 10 hours, how much time does B takes to copy 26 pages? Sol) A can copy 50 pages in 10 hrs. A can copy 5 pages in 1hr.(50/10) now A & B can copy 70 pages in 10hrs. thus, B can copy 90 pages in 10 hrs.[eqn. is (50+x)/2=70, where x--> no. of pages B can copy in 10 hrs.] so, B can copy 9 pages in 1hr. therefore, to copy 26 pages B will need almost 3hrs. since in 3hrs B can copy 27 pages. 13) what's the answer for that : A, B and C are 8 bit no's. They are as follows: A -> 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 ( - =minus, u=union) Find ((A - C) u B) =? To find A-C, We will find 2's compliment of C and them add it with A, That will give us (A-C) 2's compliment of C=1's compliment of C+1 =11000101+1=11000110 A-C=11000101+11000110 =10001001 Now (A-C) U B is .OR. logic operation on (A-C) and B 10001001 .OR . 00110011

TCS was on campus in our college SGGSIE&T,Nanded on 12-13th Jan-08.I got selected & now i m very happy. First let m thank to Freshersworld.com for provoding such a nice platform for freshers Here i m giving all my experience right from scratch,so plz read it very carefully,if u dont hav enough time then no need to go many papers just go thru my paper & some others,I hav tried to give all the stuff from my experiences. College- SGGSIE&T,NANDED(MH) Appeared- Above 250 Apti.Cleared- 193 Tech. Interview cleared- 120 Approx HR finally selected- 71 First they give presentation about thier company.Listen it very carefiul.Hav a pen & paper with u & note the points very carefullly,the points like..When company was established,by whom,where.How many fortune clients r there,no of branches,no of countries in which the branches r spread,how employees get chance to go up step-bystep,other products of TCS,services provided by company.Here itself u can b prapared for much info about the TCS.Make out notes because after some times u may forget the info. After presentation APTITUDE TEST was there.The test was online.So,something about ONLINE TEST................. Their software named "QUEBEX" is really very good.Firstly mute the volume of ur PC because page gets refreshed frequently,so unnecessarily the voice may disturb u.When instructor will say to click on TCS..internet sign then click,u il get user id & password from them.To go at password

which u hav clicked gets disappears. So Submit it immediately.It may happen that just before submitting page gets refeshed & the option clicked disappears,then don't worry again click & submit. U can change the option at any time in the respective session. After submitting next question automatically comes on the screen. If u don't want to answer the question & move to the next question then on the right hand side there will be question number list,select the que no.(((But my advice is though u dint know answer click any option because it may be the case that u dont get time later on,& there is no loss in doing that because later on u can chane the answer option.))) Time will not be carried forward,i.e.if u finish any section before time then that time u il not get as extra time for next session. The test started.........The test was of 90 minutes( 1 & half hour ) Marks 80 - 90 (I dont remember exact) 3 sections 1> English( 32 Questions ,20 minutes ) - 10 syonyms,10 antonyms, 6-8 paragraph based questions , 4-6 paragraph completion. 2> Quantitative section ( 38 questions , 40 minutes ) 3> Critical Reasoning ( 12 questions , 30 minutes) - 3 short logical puzzle type paragraphs 4 quetions each.(3X4=12) 1> English Section::::::::------->>>> While solving this section be careful about what is asked? On the right side there will be heading SYNONYM and ANTONYM .There is not any separator between Antonyms,sentence completion & reading comprehension . Frnds, dont rely upon antonynms & synonyms , because not a single word was from the words whatever I mugged up(I had remembered many words from previous papers ).All the words were different.The only word I remember is Antonym of HARBINGER.But till u prepare

***************** Verbal ***************** 10 Synonyms and 10 Antonyms and other Reading Comprehension based questions.. Everything was form GRE Barrons 12th edition Model Test Papers. Five questions were on completing the passage by choosing appropriate sentence. This was also from Barrons Model Test Papers(Passage on fungus) ****************** Quants ***************** All the questions were repeated. I didnt find any new questions. Just the data was changed. Some of the questions were :Q1) My flight takes of at 2am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 10 Hrs later at a place with coordinates 36N70W. What is the local time when my plane landed? 6:00 am b) 6:40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00 Sol) The destination place is 80 degree west to the starting place. Hence the time difference between these two places is 5 hour 20 min. (=24hr*80/360). When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10 hours). Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = 6: 40 AM Q2) A plane moves from 9N40E to 9N40W. If the plane starts at 10 am and takes 8 hours to reach the destination, find the local arrival time? Sol) Since it is moving from east to west longitude we need to add bothie,40+40=80 multiply the ans by 4

=>80*4=320min convert this min to hours ie, 5hrs 20min It takes 8hrs totally . So 8-5hr 20 min=2hr 40min So the ans is 10am+2hr 30 min =>ans is 12:30 it will reach Q3) The size of the bucket is N kb. The bucket fills at the rate of 0.1 kb per millisecond. A programmer sends a program to receiver. There it waits for 10 milliseconds. And response will be back to programmer in 20 milliseconds. How much time the program takes to get a response back to the programmer, after it is sent? Please tell me the answer with explanation. Very urgent. Sol) 20ms +10 ms=30ms Q4) Three companies are working independently and receiving the savings 20%, 30%, 40%. If the companies work combinely, what will be their net savings? suppose total income is 100 so amount x is getting is 80 y is 70 z =60 total=210 but total money is 300 300-210=90 so they are getting 90 rs less 90 is 30% of 300 so they r getting 30% discount Q5) If G(0) = -1 G(1)= 1 and G(N)=G(N-1) G(N-2) then what is the value of G(6)? ans: -1 bcoz g(2)=g(1)-g(0)=1+1=2 g(3)=1 g(4)=-1 g(5)=-2 g(6)=-1 Q6) what's the answer for that : A, B and C are 8 bit no's. They are as follows: A -> 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 ( - =minus, u=union) Find ((A - C) u B) =? To find A-C, We will find 2's compliment of C and them add it with A, That will give us (A-C)

I had day1 company as TCS on january 15 th , 2008 in our college. Nearly 283 students attended for online test, out of which 121 were short listed for interview. Complete tcs selection procedure consists of : 1)online test 2)technical interview 3)H.R. or M.R. round Online test Online test consisted of 3 sections verbal, quantitative and critical reasoning. Total time duration was 90 minutes. Verbal 30 questions 20 minutes. Quantitative 32 questions 40 minutes Critical reasoning 3 puzzles with 4 questions each for 30 minutes. Verbal consisted of 10 synonyms, 10 antonyms, 5 sentence completion, and a reading comprehension with 5 questions. Synonyms and antonyms were quite difficult, but sentence completion and reading comprehension was easy to get through if u carefully analyze and answer. It is good to be thorough with 400 high frequency words.

TCS written test is easy if u concentrate little on it. WRITTEN Test: Read previous 10 paper and I m sure that u will clear written test There is no negative markings, no upper cut off, no sectional cut off But there is sectional time cut off, as there is online test. There are basically 3 parts in written a) Verbal : There prepare antonyms and synonyms from previous papers. After that two paragraphs are given in that section. Totally 32 marks in this section. Concentrate little in this part because this is some what difficult to answer depend much on luck. b) Arithmetic ability: This is the easiest section where we can get good score. It is enough to prepare

Exam Pattern ::1>Aptitude Test 2>Technical Test 3>HR Test 1-APTITUDE TEST My aptitude test was online. Ther is no need to panic ,its very simple. There was no sectional cut off & no negative marking. Time was fixed for particular section, once the time for one section is over u can not return back to it or change the answers for that sections can change the answers in a particular section in the time limit provided for that section, for example u can change the answers of English section in the time provided ,first 20 minutes but after that u can not, as after that quantitative section will come automatically. It has 3 sections:- 1>English -(time-20 minutes)-(10 synonyms + 10 antonyms + 8 fill in the blanks + 1 passage) 2>Quantitative -(time-40 minutes)-(38 questions) 3>Critical Reasoning -(30 minutes)-(3 reasoning passage) 1>ENGLISH In case of English, the paper was very very standard. Most of the antonyms & synonyms were really new ,i mugged many but it didnt helped me allot, but i will also suggest that go through different paper like mine one. U have to use ur IQ to solve most of them, i will suggest dont waste extra energy on mugging up anto. & syno., but ya mug up the common ones. # Synonyms & synonyms:-

Most of the words were new, so i dont remember, but still what i remember i will write, do both antonym & synonym of the word ... ESTRANGE APATHETIC I really dont remember. i have a list of most frequent asked words , if u want , I can give it to u by mailing it to ur ID # fill in the blanks It was really tough, i really dont remember, but dont worry much as there r many set of paper, u may get a easy one, as told by friends that few of them got easy ones. # Passage It was a psychological type passage,(but NOT psychological paper) i read all the passage of Barron but it was not from that, so b prepared. 2>QUANTITATIVE PLEASE GO THROUGH MY PAPER AND FEW MORE, THAT IS MORE THAN ENOUGH, NO NEED TO GO THROUGH ANY BOOK. Dont waste time for this section preparation, just go throgh the papers, this is the most scoring section of all 3 sections. 1> Match the following: 1. Male Boy ---> a. A type of 2.

listen to the information given to u prior to the test CAREFULLY I.VERBAL SECTION 10 synonyms 10 antonyms 12 questions related to a passage(reading comprehension) TIPS: go through all antonyms and synonyms asked in previous papers dont waste time for reading comprehension (my exp. says u wouldnt be able to do that!!!! II.QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE TIPS:this is the most scoring section give ur best here just go through all the questions asked previously. 1) If log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364 then find log 0.319 ? Sol) log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364, then log 0.319=log0.318+(log(0.318-0.317)) = 0.3396 2) A box of 150 packets consists of 1kg packets and 2kg packets. Total weight of box is 264kg. How many 2kg packets are there ? Sol) x= 2 kg Packs y= 1 kg packs x + y = 150 .......... Eqn 1 2x + y = 264 .......... Eqn 2 Solve the Simultaneous equation; x = 114 so, y = 36 ANS : Number of 2 kg Packs = 114. 3) My flight takes of at 2am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 10 Hrs later at a place with coordinates 36N70W. What is the local time when my plane landed? 6:00 am b) 6:40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00 Sol) The destination place is 80 degree west to the starting place. Hence the time difference between these two places is 5 hour 20 min. (=24hr*80/360). When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10 hours). Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = 6: 40 AM 4) A plane moves from 9N40E to 9N40W. If the plane starts at 10 am and takes 8 hours to reach the destination, find the local arrival time ? Sol) Since it is moving from east to west longitide we need to add

5) The size of the bucket is N kb. The bucket fills at the rate of 0.1 kb per millisecond. A programmer sends a program to receiver. There it waits for 10 milliseconds. And response will be back to programmer in 20 milliseconds. How much time the program takes to get a response back to the programmer, after it is sent? Please tell me the answer with explanation. Very urgent. Sol) see it doesn't matter that wat the time is being taken to fill the bucket.after reaching program it waits there for 10ms and back to the programmer in 20 ms.then total time to get the response is 20ms +10 ms=30ms...it's so simple.... 6) A file is transferred from one location to another in 'buckets'. The size of the bucket is 10 kilobytes. Each bucket gets filled at the rate of 0.0001 kilobytes per millisecond. The transmission time from sender to receiver is 10 milliseconds per bucket. After the receipt of the bucket the receiver sends an acknowledgement that reaches sender in 100 milliseconds. Assuming no error during transmission, write a formula to calculate the time taken in seconds to successfully complete the transfer of a file of size N kilobytes. (n/1000)*(n/10)*10+(n/100)....as i hv calculated...~~!not 100% sure 7) A fisherman's day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes, fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5 fishes. He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So how many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week Ans:4 good, 1 fair n 2 bad days Sol) Go to river catch fish 4*9=36 7*1=7 2*5=10 36+7+10=53... take what is given 53 good days means --- 9 fishes so 53/9=4(remainder=17) if u assume 5 then there is no chance for bad days. fair days means ----- 7 fishes so remaining 17 --- 17/7=1(remainder=10) if u

If total number of fishes caught by X and Y is 42, then number of fishes caught by X? Sol) Let no. of fish x catches=p no. caught by y =r r=5p. r+p=42 then p=7,r=35 9) Three companies are working independently and receiving the savings 20%, 30%, 40%. If the companies work combinely, what will be their net savings? suppose total income is 100 so amount x is getting is 80 y is 70 z =60 total=210 but total money is 300 300-210=90 so they are getting 90 rs less 90 is 30% of 300 so they r getting 30% discount 10) The ratio of incomes of C and D is 3:4.the ratio of their expenditures is 4:5. Find the ratio of their savings if the savings of C is one fourths of his income? Sol) incomes:3:4 expenditures:4:5 3x-4y=1/4(3x) 12x-16y=3x 9x=16y y=9x/16 (3x-4(9x/16))/((4x-5(9x/16))) ans:12/19 11) If G(0) = -1 G(1)= 1 and G(N)=G(N-1) - G(N-2) then what is the value of G(6)? ans: -1 bcoz g(2)=g(1)-g(0)=1+1=2 g(3)=1 g(4)=-1 g(5)=-2 g(6)=-1 12) If A can copy 50 pages in 10 hours and A and B together can copy 70 pages in 10 hours, how much time does B takes to copy 26 pages? Sol) A can copy 50 pages in 10 hrs. A can copy 5 pages in 1hr.(50/10)

now A & B can copy 70 pages in 10hrs. thus, B can copy 90 pages in 10 hrs.[eqn. is (50+x)/2=70, where x--> no. of pages B can copy in 10 hrs.] so, B can copy 9 pages in 1hr. therefore, to copy 26 pages B will need almost 3hrs. since in 3hrs B can copy 27 pages. 13) what's the answer for that : A, B and C are 8 bit no's. They are as follows: A -> 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 ( - =minus, u=union) Find ((A - C) u B) =? To find A-C, We will find 2's compliment of C and them add it with A, That will give us (A-C) 2's compliment of C=1's compliment of C+1 =11000101+1=11000110 A-C=11000101+11000110 =10001001 Now (A-C) U B is .OR. logic operation on (A-C) and B 10001001 .OR . 00110011 The answer is = 10111011, Whose decimal equivalent is 187. 14) One circular array is given(means memory allocation tales place in circular fashion) diamension(9X7) and sarting add. is 3000, What is the address of (2,3)........ Sol) it's a 9x7 int array so it reqiure a 126 bytes for storing.b'ze integer value need 2 byes of memory allocation. and starting add is 3000 so starting add of 2x3 will be 3012. 15) In a two-dimensional array, X (9, 7), with each element occupying 4 bytes of memory, with the address of the first element X (1, 1) is 3000, find the address of X (8, 5). Sol) initial x (1,1) = 3000 u hav to find from x(8,1)so u have x(1,1),x(1,2) ... x(7,7) = so u have totally 7 * 7 = 49 elementsu need to find for x(8,5) ? here we have 5 elements each element have 4 bytes : (49 + 5 -1) * 4 = 212 -----( -1 is to deduct the 1 element ) 3000 + 212 = 3212 16) Which of the following is power of 3 a) 2345 b) 9875 c) 6504 d) 9833 17) The size of a program is N.

Firstly you must know that the aptitude test of TCS, believe me, is very easy. But you should follow the correct procedure. It was an online aptitude test in my college. Please dont be afraid. Aptitude Test [21st February] : There are three sections of aptitude test. Each question has 5 options. You have to tick the correct one. But there are no sectional cutoff and negative marking. 1. Verbal: [32 Questions, 20 Mins] It consists of 10 synonyms, 10 antonyms and 2 lengthy paragraphs. Go through the wordlist of GRE BARRONS. There are 333 high frequency words and 750 words in reviewing vocabulary wordlist. It is very difficult to remember all those words but try to remember in such a way so that you can recall after seeing the given options. 2. Quantitative: [38 Questions, 40 Mins] It is very easy part. The problems are about ages, time & dist., time & work, numbers, average, temperature, data interpretation ( R.S.Agarwal ), ratio, probability etc. You can find various set of quantitative test papers in freshersworlds website. 3. Critical Reasoning: [12 Questions, 30Mins] Apparently you can realize that it is very touch section. But the problems in this section come from the Logical Reasoning chapter of GRE BARRONS 12th edition. You must solve also the logical reasoning parts from 5 test papers in that book. Practice this reasoning part in such a way you can solve the problem just after seeing it. There are 3 passages each of which contains 4 questions. Sometimes you can see that the passages are common. There were 5/6 questions in the book. But you are given only 4 questions. Be careful when answering. The most frequently logical

The main think they want to see is your confidence and eagerness to know something. You must be there with your bright face. If you dont know something tell the truth. Be honest, polite and humble. And please never tell a lie. TCS PAPER ON 22nd FEBRUARY AT COCHIN Hi, Friends. Im a student of sixth semester, Mechanical Engineering Branch, Cochin University of Science and Technology. TCS visited our campus on 22nd February, 2008. I write this paper, as I feel there are many who are aspiring a job at TCS and they would definitely benefit from this article. From around the 700(approx.) students who registered the TCS, 381 cleared the aptitude and ultimately, 212 made it to TCS. The first and foremost instructions I would like to give to aspirants are: 1) If you aspire for TCS, then be serious about it. Dont take it lightly. 2) Be sure to prepare for vocabulary section much before (Synonyms and Antonyms from GRE Barrons 12th edition). 3) Study critical reasoning only from Model Test Papers at the end of GRE 12th edition of Barrons. 4) Study C,C++,Data Structures well for CS/IT students and other branches, plz plz plz..STUDY C WELL. BE THOROUGH WITH C PROGRAMMING. I repeat it again and again. Theres a reason. And also study some other concepts like Intranet, Algorithms, Flowcharts, LAN etc. Have only a basic knowledge. The recruitment process consisted of three sections: a) Online Aptitude Test (Easy to Crack!) b) Technical Interview (Be very Careful) c) HR Round.(A cool round) ONLINE APTITUDE TEST: There is no negative marking. So attempt all questions. It consists of the following three sections: a)

b) Quantitative Aptitude (38 Questions, Duration of 40minutes) c) Critical Reasoning (12 Questions, Duration of 20minutes) Verbal Section: 10 Antonyms, 10 Synonyms It was simple, if u have atleast gone once through the entire 333 High Frequency list of words from Barrons GRE book. 12 Questions from Reading Comprehension. Anyone with Basic English knowledge can do it. Quantitative Aptitude: Almost all questions from the previous question papers available at freshersworld.com. Go through it, and ponder over the questions and answers again and again. Concentrate well on the Venn diagrams,and other graphical test. Im not mentioning the Qs as there is no point in including the same questions again and again in every sample question paper Critical Reasoning: Entirely from Barrons 12th edition 5 Model Test Papers at the end. Those who dont have barrons, you can obtain it from the Internet and get the book in a pdf format. The questions asked are from these Model test 1: Section5 - qns 1-4 (motorist), qns 13-16 (red and brown) Section6 - qns 1-4 (conservative,democratic), qns 8-11 (latin, sanskrit), qns 12-18 (joe,larry,ned), qns 19-22 (a causes b) Model test 2: Section1 - qns 19-22 (wallachia and rumelia) --Section6 - qns 8-12 ( ashland , liverpool), qns 13-16 (spelunker) --qns 17-22 (pesth) ---i got this one too

Model test 3: Section6 - qns 1-4 (all Gs are Hs) Model test 4: Section5 - qns 8-11 (horizontal row), qns 19-22 (a,b,c cause d) Section6 - qns 8-12 (spanish, italian), qns 13-16 (all As, Bs), qns 17-22 (progressive federal party) Model test 5: Section3 qns8-11 (museum), qns 19-22 (A is the father) Section7- qns 1-5 (prahtu, brahtu), qns 21-25 (scurvy) I got questions from Prahtu and Brahtu marriages, Cricket and Tennis players. Only the names would be changed. Questions are the same, just mug up the questions with answers if u dont understand or dont have enough time to study the critical reasoning. The points to be noted during the online test are 1) Dont carry any rough sheets with you as they provide it. 2) Dont press the EXIT button on the screen of computer. If it happens, ur TCS dream not possible for another 6 months. 3) Keep a watch on the time ticking at the upper right corner of your screen. TECHNICAL ROUND: For technical round, get well dressed in formal outfits and shoes is compulsory for boys. Bring a file with ur certificates and Resumes. Dont bluff in the resumes, as they check your resume and ask questions related to it. INT: Get in. ME: Good Morning, Maam, Good Morning, Sir. (There was a lady and a man. Both were young around 30yrs old). INT: Good Morning. Take ur seat. (Dont take seat unless asked to) INT: So Ajay Menon, u r from Mechanical Engineering, right? ME: Yes, Maam. (Maam was the only one asking me the questions) INT: Give me an introduction about yourself.

ME: Im Ajay Menon. Im studying in sixth semester, Mechanical Engg, at SOE,here in the Main Campus. I stay with my parents around a place called Kakkanad, around 9 kms from here. My hobbies include playing cricket, music, surfing the net etc. My strengths are determination, trustworthiness and my endurance. INT: Ok, Ajay. As you are from Mechanical, do you have any knowledge of C? ME: Maam, I have a basic knowledge. Due to the heavy portions of my core subjects I was unable to concentrate on computer related subjects. INT: Ok, what do you know about functions? ME: C programs itself are made of functions. Every program begin with an execution of function called main. Its involves breaking the program into different modules. INT: Does a function return values? ME: It depends upon the feasibility of the function whether it returns a value. A function may or may not return a value. INT: Are u comfortable with flow charts? ME: Im not, but still Ill definitely try. INT: (Hands me a paper with a flow chart) Can you give the output of this flow chart? ME: (It was a difficult one. It took me around 5 minutes to reach to an output.) Maam Im not sure, but I do think this is the output. INT: (Hands me another paper with an if-else program) Can you give the final amount with an overdue amount of 6000 Rs. (Some program involving discount and customer amount) ME: I tried, and calculated the answer, going thru different nested if else statements. INT: Tell me about pointers (Really tough. I hardly knew it) ME: I think its a command to point to the address of a variable. INT: Can you explain it in detail? ME: (After thinking a lot) Im sorry. I cant recollect. INT: Can you tell me what is Intranet? ME: I think

its something which is connection b/w large university computers etc. INT: (Man interrupted) Then what is LAN? ME: LAN is Local Area Network. INT: Then what is the difference b/w LAN and Intranet: ME: I hope the number of computers connected to form a network form the basic difference. INT: Can you tell me about your projects?

ME: I explained. INT: Ok, you can go. ME: Thank you, Maam. Thank you, Sir. From the morning 9am, I waited till 7pm evening. Ultimately I was rejected only due to the lack of computer knowledge. It depends upon the panel, that whether they ask us our core subjects or computer technicals. Many of my friends were asked questions only from purely core subjects and now they are at TCS. So my humble request, dont take a chance. Just make yourself clear with the basic computer topics like Algorithms & Flowcharts, Intranet, Lan, Wan, Man etc. and most important toolC language. HR ROUND: This I heard was the simplest of all the rounds. Be confident. Reply answers with cool and maintain your eye contact with them. The questions are: Ur introduction, hobbies, projects, readiness to work abroad, strengths, weaknesses, topics on ur hobbies, 5 years from now what u wud be, why TCS, why IT, why shift from core to IT, etc. Try to impress the panel. You should leave an impression on their minds. Thats all. Work hard and be prepared for the Tech and HR rounds. Students always make mistake of being prepared only with the aptitude and core subjects. But be prepared with the computer fundamentals along with C. The people who cleared the round describe their success path, but its the people who were rejected can help you learn from their mistakes. So, get placed in TCS and fulfill ur dream. Good Luck to all the aspirants. And ultimately, those who get rejected, dont worry. TCS is not the ultimate company. Something better must be waiting for you. ALL THAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR THE BEST.

ONLY STUDY THE MODEL PAPERS OF GRE BARRONS 12&13th edition only... you have certainly got para among them.. TECH INTERVIEW... It was on DBMS .They asked me abut Normalization,queries and many more concepts Prepare one core subject .you should know every thing in that subject. M.R+H.R..... 1) Describe ur self? 2) Tell me ur strengths and weakness. 3) What do u expect from TCS?. 4) What do u know about our company? 5) How many times u have visited our web site? 6) Do u know about our 2 year bound. 7) Are u comfortable to go any where? And many more when the result announced my name was in the list.. I just want to say that BE CONFIDENT AND BELIVE IN URSELF TCS PAPER ON 24th MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR Hello frnds,I am Samir Anand (MCA 4th sem),TCS recruitment team visited our campus on 24th march, and selected 310 students.It was 2 day process,written test followed by tech n hr interview (combined). nearly 560 turned up for written test, out of which 502 qualified for the next round, and finally 310 were selected...... I wud like to share my experience wid all of u .The paper as usual consisted of 3 sections- 1) VERBAL ( 32 questions ) 2) APTITUDE (38 questions ) 3) CRITICAL REASONING ( 12 questions ) in the verbal section there were 10 synonyms,10 antonyms,6 sentence completeion ques and 6 ques on reading comprehension.for this u just follow GRE Barron 12th edition,each n every ques comes from that particular book. this is the exact ques that was in the paper:-(with ans) In a sense the university had failed. It has stores great quantities of knowledge; it teaches more people; and despite its failures,

it teaches them better.__D___ . Of the great branches of knowledge- the sciences the social sciences and humanities- the science are applied. Strenuous and occasionally successful efforts are made to apply the social sciences, not almost never are the humanities well applied. We do not use philosophy in defining our conduct. __E__. The great task of the university in the next generation is to learn to use the knowledge we have for the questions that come before us. __F___ The difference between a primary problem and a secondary or even tertiary problem is that primary problems tend to be around for a long time, whereas the less important ones get solved. One primary problem is that of interfering with biological development. ___A____. Obviously, there are benefits both to individuals and to society from eliminating, or at least improving, mentally and physically deformed persons. On the other hand, there could be very serious consequences if this knowledge were used with premeditation to produce superior and subordinate classes, each genetically prepared to carry out a predetermined mission. __B___, Here we have a primary problem that will still exist when we are all dead. Of course, the traditional faculty members would say. __C____. And certainly they would not learn, but they would learn some other things. A. The next generation, and perhaps this one, will be able to interfere chemically with the actual development of an individual and perhaps biologically by interfering with an individuals genes. B. This can be done, but what happens to free will and he rights of the individual C. But the students wont learn enough to go to graduate school D. It is in the application of this knowledge

that the failure has come. E. We do not use literature as a source of real and vicarious experience. F. The university should organize should organize courses around primary problems G. The universities greatest shortcoming is not to help students see the relevance of humanities to real problems. H. It is difficult for modern students, accustomed to the minute of film, to appreciate opera. I. It is necessary students to require to include in their curricula liberal arts courses. About aptitude, i wud just say no need 2 worry as it is the most easiest section,just practice papers of last 2 or 3 years and u will be able to solve all of them on the day of test. some ques were as follows:-- Q1.

of 35 question that u have to solve in 90 min. U would thinks its easy but believe me my freinds it was not so easy. I had completed 14 quest in 1 hr. It consist of max logical question and very few verbal quest. The quest was like Sample Apti Quest 1)P,Q,R,S,T,U are the students in the class. P is taller than U, U is shorter than S, S is taller than P,.....(not remember) Find who is taller one 2)A,B,C are the 3 student that have stolen a camera. This each student has made 2 statement in which one is speaking true,one is lying and other is giving alternate true and lye Their Statement are A: 1) B has stolen camera 2) I m not telling lie B: 1)C is telling true 2)I have not stolen Camera C: 1) A is telling lie 2) i m telling truth Find out who is telling alternate true and lie. A) A B) B C) C D) Cant Determined. There were few questions on Trains,Boatstreams,Blood Relations,Verbal So my advice to you to answer that question that u know very well and in last 10 min answer all your quess questions. There is no Negative Marking. I have scored 14/35. The question are very lengthy and u have answer reading all quest so max time was wasted over there. Cutoff was 13. It depends on level of complexity in each aptitude. After written test they said result in 5 mins.and were given blue form to fill all the personal detailsand said that u will be call for technical round within 7 days. They have given hint that ur technical round will be on your skills written in ur resume. So friends if ur knowing little Java then please dont mention in resume. I was called for Interview on 7th Dec and i was very nervous. when i went to interview ,the interviewer realised that i m nervous he told me that dont be nervous and

verbal : There prepare antonyms and synonyms from previous papers. After that two paragraphs are given in that section. Totally 32 marks in this section. Concentrate more in this part because this is some what difficult to answer. Arithmetic ability: This is the easiest section where we can get good score. It is enough to prepare previous papers, they just change the digits and the model is same. There are some problems from Bar and Pie Chart. Critical Reasoning: In this section there will be 3 passages and questions on it. So, we have to prepare the GRE Barrons book either 12th or 13th edition. All will come from that only. So, all the best guys..There will be both upper cut-off and lower cut-off. Be careful, dont answer all the questions if u prepare well and know more answers.And also there is no sectional cut-off for TCS so u can gain marks even if you are not able to answer in one section. Then written test results are placed in TCS site with in 10 days. The list of selected candidates are given date and time to attend the next rounds. Next I have Technical round on 3rd November, 2007. Technical Round: For this prepare well your academic subjects. They can ask on any one and u should able to answer. I have prepared 1) C, C++, DS 2) DBMS concepts, Oracle with SQL and PL/SQL 3) Operating Systems 4) Computer Networks 5) Software Engineering 6) .NET concepts because I did project in .NET 7) And finally, my academic project.

Here, you should tell the subject which u prepared well because most of the questions related to this topic only. I said it .NET but you people dont say that because the technology may not be familiar with that interviewer. So let it be a subject or tell them like as a fresher I have basic knowledge on my academic subjects at that time you should ready to face all the questions. Then started my problems 3) Explain about your project deeply how your project works? I started taking a paper and explained my project. Then she stopped at one place and asked to write the connectivity between backend and front-end. you should be able to explain the module which u have done.

Sir was asking all questions and the mam was just observing me and was evaluating me. My interview lasted for 25 minutes. Sir: Gud evening. Me: gud evening sir, gud evening mam. SIR: Take a couple of minutes and tell me about yourself. Me: I said my name, my college name, my degree, about my family and my hobbies and some of my positive qualities. Sir: What are ur core subjects that u have learnt so far? Me: as Iam an IT student I said all my core subjects. (I avoided telling CSA and compilers coz I was not thorough in those subjects). Sir: What are the different types of Topologies? Me: Mesh topology, star topology, Tree topology, Bus topology, partial mesh topology. Page 272 of 516

Sir: what is the Topology used in ur college? Me: I said I dont know but after the interview I remembered it is star topology. Sir: What are the OMD techniques? Me: I gave the definition of it . Sir: what is 3 rd Normalisation (DBMS). Me: I explained with an example. Then he gave me a aptitude question on work men time. 6 men dig 6 cubic units of mud in 12 hrs then how many hrs is needed for 3 men to dig 3 cubic units of mud.(directly I saw the qn and said 6 hours as answer). Then he formed 3 employee tables and gave me SQL queries to solve. 1) To print the name of the employee who gets maximum salary. (I used sub query and solved). 2) To print the total number of employees in each department (I used group by function and wrote the query.) 3) To print the managers details ( equi join to be used). Then he asked some C programming qns and I was asked to write a program to check whether a given number is prime number or not. HR qns: Sir: Why TCS? Me: TCS gives Experience certainty, and from my seniors I came to know that it has a good work environment and the employees get a good respect. It has various initial and continuous learning programs which will help me a lot in learning new skills and updating myself with latest technologies hence I prefer TCS. Sir: We would like to start R&D centre in assam will u like to join there? Me: I love traveling and I strongly believe that traveling gives a good learning experience so I am ready to work anywhere and I dont mind working in Assam . Sir: If u are given a project and u complete it in 3 hrs but ur colleague can complete it in 1 hr what do u have to say about this? Me: I will first check with the quality of my product suppose if it is better that him I wont mind but if

the quality is low or equally good then I will definitely analyze my mistakes and if needed I will ask his help to improvise myself. Sir: Do u have anything to ask us? Me: I have 1 more year to complete my course what do expect me to do in this 1 year to fit in to ur organization? Sir: bla bla ( coz it was the last qn I did not listen what he said) Thats it with the intrerview I was almost sure that I will get placed and as expected I got selected. Out of 727 who attended the interview 427 got placed. Speak very polite and be confident in the interview. Dont try answering the question that u really dont know. Be very careful with the resumes keep it as simple as u can be thorough with the skills u mention there. Some of my friends had stress interview those who remained very cool got selected irrespective of how they answered. But people who got tensed were rejected. Page 273 of 516

because there is upper cut off and there is no need of doing R.S agarwal or any other books. Verbal:This was the toughest section for me. It consists of 32 qns .It has 10 synonyms, 10 antonyms, a Reading comprehension with 6 qns, and a passage with 6 blanks where we have to insert the correct sentences from the choices. for verbal just go through the previous yrs papers(v v imp),gre high frequency wordlist,antynonms and synonym exercises,for passage go through the gre RC exercise(directly they will give the passage from barrons with out changing the option). some of the words i remembered: Analytical Reasoning: This is the very very important section to clear the written test. Take Barrons 12th edition and go through all of the model test papers(1-5). Omit the passages containing 1 or 2 qns. Study the pasages with 4 or more qns. The passages and qns are cut, copy, and paste from Barrons. I had gone through the previously 100+ qn papers from all most all sites for freshers and found out which passages were asked. They are: Model test 1: Section5 - qns 1-4 (motorist), qns 13-16 (red and brown) Section6 - qns 1-4 (conservative,democratic), qns 8-11 (latin, sanskrit), qns 12-18 (joe,larry,ned), qns 19-22 (a causes b) Model test 2: Section1 - qns 19-22 (wallachia and rumelia) ---i got this qn, but the names were changed as london and paris , and a,b,c etc were changed as french, italian etc. Section6 qns 8-12 ( ashland , liverpool), qns 13-16 (spelunker) ---i got this qn, qns 17-22 (pesth) ---i got this one too

So my MR were asked totally on pointers for 45 min.:(.

Hi guyz, I am very happy to say that shortly I will be member of TCS. It was a smooth Journey for me to get into TCS. I would like to share my Experience with you. Hope this will b useful in your preparation towards getting into TCS. Pattern: 1) WRITTEN TEST 2) TECHNICAL INTERVIEW (TECHNICAL ROUND) 3) MANAGEMENT REVIEW (MR ROUND) 4) HR INTERVIEW 1) WRITTEN TEST: First Most important thing that everyone should do is to go through last 10 -15 previous papers. It is more than sufficient to clear the Written Test. To clear the Aptitude Section.. Try solving all Aptitude problems in last 10-15 papers. Just learn how to solve them (This will b useful if the numbers are changed for similar type of problems). For most of questions you will find answers in the previous papers itself. Just mug up the answers for those problems where you dont find the method to solve the problem. To clear Critical Reasoning section of Written Test Go through Barrons 11th or 12th Edition. To solve Verbal Section.. prepare Synonyms and Antonyms for TCS which is given in Chetanas. Try to go through GRE Barrons wordlist if you have Time (Concentrate on words starting with A, C, I, P, R, S and T). Questions I Remember:

TCS PAPER ON 9th JUNE Hello people, This is Shanmugha Priya R The aptitude test was on 9th and for the short listed students the technical, HR and the MR rounds were on 10th. FreshersWorld.com helped me and my friends so much to get into TCS. We thank all those who had contributed placement papers to freshersworld.com. Aptitude test (9th June 2007) This will be the easiest round because you would have already known the pattern, i.e. the type of questions you are to get. It was an online test. Different question papers for each one of us and were generated by the software. Time management is very important. There were three sections: Verbal, Quantitative and logical reasoning. No sectional cutoff. Verbal: Synonyms, antonyms, fill in the blanks of a paragraph, reading comprehension. For synonyms and antonyms, be thorough with the high frequency words in Barrons GRE. It will help you a lot. Though not all the synonyms and antonyms will be from Barrons, you would have got familiar with some words and so you can answer some. Instead of sentence completion, I had paragraph completion. A paragraph with 5 blanks and 8 choices (sentences) were given. Choose the right sentence to be filled in the blanks from the given options. The last one was RC. I didnt have time to do it. So, I just selected the options. If you have time, read the questions and then search for the answers in the given passages. Quantitative: Try to solve a good number of previous question papers. The papers in this site are sufficient. Once you are thorough with the

Other simple problems like Standard deviation, Address of an element in a matrix, temperature, recursion, series, weights, triangle, cube, percentage, power of 3 or 4, orthogonal pairs, mathematical symbols like @,#,etc used for operators, weights.. Logical reasoning: Refer Barrons GRE 12th edition. Solve the 5 model question papers along with the exercise given in the book. If you dont understand, just mug it up. But, you will have enough time to solve them.20 or 30 minutes for three paragraphs each with 4 questions. I got all the three questions from the model test papers from the Barrons. You will know the results once the duration of 90 minutes is over on the screen itself. And yes, I was selected. Interview (10th June 2007) Technical and HR interviews were together. The interviewer was very friendly. He asked me to introduce myself. I did that. Some personal questions. Then, he asked some questions on my project and some on DLL (Dynamic Linking Library).Some more technical questions. I was cool and answered confidently. I didnt know one answer, but I was managing to answer something and he helped me by explaining the concept. Then he asked me if I were posted in New Delhi, will I go. I said yes and something else and he was impressed. He wished me all the best and we shook hands. That was it. I got through this round also. Managerial Review A panel of two interviewers was there. One member asked me about my strengths and then my goal in my life. My answers were genuine and satisfactory. And this was also over. Results were announced late night. And, I was through. There were stress interviews also for some of us. Keep your cool. Answer confidently. Everything depends on your attitude. For

TCS INTERVIEW ON 11th MAY AT SRINAGAR Hi guys. I am Rohit Reddy, a student of Civil Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Srinagar . I am in my 6th sem. I got selected for TCS. The written test was conducted on 4th May, 2007. The cut off was fixed at 50. I consider myself lucky as I scored 50 marks. Out of 160 guys who appeared for the written test, 93 were selected for the interview. For the written test, I prepared from Barrons High Frequency Word list. I also prepared from the previous papers of TCS downloaded from various websites. The interview was on 11th May, 2007. This gave us ample time to prepare for the interview. I prepared for the interview from Balagurusamy. I also prepared from the FAQS at interviews again downloaded from various websites. When the guys from TCS arrived at our college, they decided to hold three rounds technical, management and HR. But, due to lack of time, they decided on only two rounds technical and HR. Interviewer: Hi Rohit. So your branch is Civil. Interviewer: Then, why are you switching to IT. Interviewer: So, what have you done so that you can expect a career in IT. Me: Sir, I learnt C. Interviewer: Write a program for the Fibonacci series. Interviewer: What is your favorite subject? Me: Sir, I like surveying. Interviewer: Surveying is so difficult. We do not know about it. Ok. Surveying contains maps, contours and all that right? Me: Yes sir.

2.Interview : a) Technical : I have been asked more qs on project( bcz i am a post grad ). Most of us say that , u need to be more confident to get TR. Yes , u should answer confidently. Actually ,my level of confidence is not much high. I though that , i may rejected ,i had chances of 50/50 . But luckily , i cleared TR. If u are just comleted ur grad or if u r post grad , plese go through the project once ,the most of qs from project only.they may ask to draw data flow diagrams (to know the flow of project ) also. If u are final yr student, they may ask qs on project u r going to do. Other than project ,they asked me , qs related to area of interest. and also qs on oops concepts and my area of interest ( i said Comp Networks). so prepare c,c++,dbms(must 4 CS students) other qs are based on technologies, u put in resume b) Management Round : In this round , they may ask qs related to technical/puzzles/hr . here my performance was well. c) HR round : I faced qs like these - Why TCS - What do you expect 4m TCS as a fresher - Qs on long term goals(10 yr), short term goals( 3-5 yr) - What are the resons for gap ( i have gap of one year b/w my grad n post grad) Some of fiends ,whose performance is above avg in TR also forwared to MR. But they didn't clear the MR.Some students cleared MR , but rejectd at HR. So ,"Don't be comlacent ". ur prev round performance carried to further rounds. Most of think that , if u r clear Technical , i get selected. I think it's may wrong. In my college some students not clear MR and HR also. Out of 570 ( appeared 4 written) 144 got selected ( B.Tech+MCA+MSIT+MTech). Around 40(I don't know exactly) students out 144 from MTech only. All the best for students

They are easy it just takes 5 mins to complete the real tough one s are comprehension and sentence completion. DONT worry friends whatever u lose in this section u can cover from remaining 2 sections. EVEN if u make many mistakes u can cover them all in following two sections. NO sectional CUTOFF in this section 2.APTITUDE Its really easy u can crack 35 out of 38 questions just byREFERING PREVIOUS APT. PAPERS. the time u are given is 40 min. there are some tricky questions better leave them 3.CRITICAL REASONING: 12 questions from 3 passages in 30 min these are REPEATED FROM 5 MODEL TEST PAPERS 0F BARREN'S 12th EDITION. HERE u can crack 12 out of 12. SPECIALLY THERE IS NO UPPER CUT OFFwhich i got confused very much.Attempt as many questions as u can. this is about written test which I obviously cleared. second round is TECHNICAL as i was fromECE background i was asked to talk something about COMMUNICATIONS.I stated of with modulation and completed with all concepts of analog and digital. i was also asked about the technical paper i have presented. i was very good at my communication skills through which i impresed him alot He asked me some silly questions like 1.What structures are 2.What pointer is 3.Difference btwen

Then he asked me why i want to change my carrer from communication to IT. I SAID THAT FROM MY CHILDHOOD I WAS INTERESTED TOWARDS PYSICS SO I TOK ECE BUT WHEN I ENTERED B-TECH I GOT FASCINATED TOWARDS Page 326 of 516

3. Critical Reasoning 1. Verbal section: It consists of Synonyms of 10 marks Antonyms of 10 marks Comprehension passage of 5 marks Sentence completion of 5 marks Total Verbal section consists of 30 questions and must be complete in 30 minutes. So be careful. Some of the questions I remember are Synonyms : 1. Seedy 2. Buxom 3. fallible 4. Misanthrope Antonyms : 1. Cacophonous 2. delineate 3. decorum 4. equanimity Most of the synonyms and antonyms are from GRE Barrons (GRE High Frequency Words) and prepare it well in addition with the root words in the GRE Barrons. The comprehension passage I didnt remember but it is a very big passage that is very difficult to read and understand but time is very short .So I suggest that dont spend much time on comprehension passage . Sentence completion is also just by practice. It is from GRE Barrons practice exercise. Page 328 of 516

Six questions are from pie charts and venn diagrams which are very very easy. 3. Critical Reasoning: The critical reasoning questions are from GRE barons (12th edition) model test papers. In this section there are three questions in which each consists of five sub questions. It is a very difficult section in which at least one question must be completely correct. One question I remembered is A speaks Telugu, B speaks Hindi & Malayalam, C speaks Hindi & English, D speaks Telugu & Hindi, E is native of a Andhra Pradesh speaks Telugu & English then 1.

Quantitative Apti: There is nothin here to tell EXCEPT SOLVE THE PREVIOUS PAPERS FROM TCS.. IT IS MORE THAN ENUF... BELIEVE ME... i solved around 8 papers and nothing other than that came..and this is also the easiest part... guys.. sample ques: >edges,surfaces,vertices of a solid cube.. >& is for doubling and ^ is for negation.. so what does &^&6-^&^6 give.. >M is for modulus,R-rounding,T-truncate.. they'll give an expression and u'll need to solve it... piece of cake isn't it... and there are chances that ques repeat in the same section i got that cube thing 3 times;-) there will be a papragraph question too... Data interpretation: Here they might give venn diagram and 4 ques on that.. nothin much to say.. keep solving.. and also there will be bar and pie graph and u'll need no solve another 4 ques usnig that.. its easy though.. Time alloted for apti and this is 40 min Critical Reasoning: This i felt was interesting and good.. they are really easy once u know the or understand the question... Plz refer Barron's 12th edition again there are 42 logical reasonin try to solve that... AND PLZ SOLVE THE 5 MODEL PAPERS.. BELIEVE ME IT WILL BE HELPFUL..

Quantitative ability was very easy.number series,some problems from rs aggarwal, Picture, Bar chart and Pie chart questions, some previous years question papers,etc had come.. Critical Reasoning Here you find very difficult to finish within the given time. So better be familiar with Barron's 12th n 13th edition Model Test Papers (all the five). Technical & HR round: This round lasted 4 about 30 minutes. My interviewers were really cool n friendly..they made me feel comfortable. Interviewer:So Elizabeth ,r u from the UAE? Me:yes Interviewer:tell me about urself.. Me:I gave details about my educational background,my achievements,my goal,my hobbies n my ambition Then the interviewer started asking me technical questionsfrom all cse subjects(os,data structures,dbms,c,c++) Some of these questions were: What is polymorphism? Can we pass arguments in the main function in c? Can u show how we can acces the variables of a class using objects? What is normalization?what r its types? What r the types of joins ? What is a queue?what r linked lists?give their advantages. Whats the difference b/w a linear queue n a circular queue? Give me an example of artificial intelligence.i said google search engine

Written Test: There are basically 3 parts in written verbal : There prepare antonyms and synonyms from previous papers. After that two paragraphs are given in that section. Totally 32 marks in this section. Concentrate more in this part because this is some what difficult to answer. Arithmetic ability: This is the easiest section where we can get good score. It is enough to prepare previous papers, they just change the digits and the model is same. There are some problems from Bar and Pie Chart. Critical Reasoning: In this section there will be 3 passages and questions on it. So, we have to prepare the GRE Barrons book either 12th or 13th edition. All will come from that only. So, all the best guys..There will be both upper cut-off and lower cut-off. Be careful, dont answer all the questions if u prepare well and know more answers.And also there is no sectional cut-off for TCS so u can gain marks even if you are not able to answer in one section. Then written test results are placed in TCS site with in 10 days. The list of selected candidates are given date and time to attend the next rounds. Next I have Technical round on 3rd November, 2007. Technical Round: For this prepare well your academic subjects. They can ask on any one and u should able to answer. I have prepared 1) C, C++, DS 2) DBMS concepts, Oracle with SQL and PL/SQL 3) Operating Systems 4) Computer Networks

My turn is at 3pm so I went there by 2.20.They send us by 3pm by verifying our marks lists right from tenth. I was waited and sent in at 4.45 My technical round was around 20 minutes.The interviewer called me and started interview 1) Tell me about yourself? I said my name, qualification with aggregate. My basic technical skills and my project. Then my family back ground. Then he asked me where my father is working. 2) Asked me to explain about my project? I took a paper and explained with flow of screens and the functionality.He asked some doubts in my project 3) What is .net framework? 4) What is CLR? 5) What is stored procedure? I explained stored procedure and wrote syntax for stored procedure. And I also said I which places I have used stored procedures in my project. 6) What is the difference between procedures and functions? 7) What is a static function? 8) What is the purpose of static variable? 9) What is the difference between static and constant? 10) Write a program to find the maximum number in a given list?

I was totally asked Technical in this round and it was round 45 minutes. She asked me. 1) Can u introduce yourself? 2) Which is favorite your subject? Here, you should tell the subject which u prepared well because most of the questions related to this topic only. I said it .NET but you people dont say that because the technology may not be familiar with that interviewer. So let it be a subject or tell them like as a fresher I have basic knowledge on my academic subjects at that time you should ready to face all the questions. Then started my problems 3) Explain about your project deeply how your project works? I started taking a paper and explained my project. Then she stopped at one place and asked to write the connectivity between backend and front-end. you should be able to

11) What are different keys in sql? 11) What are your strengths? I said that I am a confident person. I am an optimistic person and I think in a positive way.

TCS PAPER ON 3rd NOVEMBER AT HYDERABAD hi..i am hemanth.i have given TCS interview on NOV 3rd.and i got selected.i want to share my experience with others so that it can be very useful for them.i attached one file which describes my experience. Test was conducted at TCS Hyd campus(E-park).They checked our marksheets and identity proof to appear for the exam.While writing exam they told us to switch off the mobiles(strictly) ,who haven't done it are fired out.(TCS looks for disciplane) So don't take a chance,follow what they say(even after completing the exam, donot switch on the mobiles in the exam hall). In written test(4 me not online )there will be 3 sections 1.Verbal section a)Synonyms 10 b)Antonyms 10( donot waste time on these) c)Sentence completion (concentrate on this) d)Passage 5 ( It makes difference) Just go through syn n anty, if u know put it otherwise give a guess...don't waste time on them.. Concentrate more on passage n Sentence Completion. 2.Aptitude all of them are from previous papers itself.But time factor is main. The most deciding section in written test is 3.Critical reasoning I've seen so many haven't solved this section properly, so they lost it. They ll give 3 passaeges.Donot try to solve all. Go through them in GRE barron's 12 th edition Sure you will get maximum 2 out 3.Get perfect in these(got from previous papers) Model test
