TCS - Question paper - 16
TCS Selection Guidelines Firstly, TCS has several levels of tests/interview in their selection procedure. 1. Aptitude test (generally online test) consisting of three sections, verbal abilities, quantitive abilities and logical reasoning abilities. In verbal, u r asked antonyms of several words in english language, similar but less exhaustive than GRE verbal section. Quantitive consists of class X level mathematical skill testing problems. loogical reasoning will ask you yes/no/can't say type qstns based on a paragraph. u will have to read through the paragraph fast but efficiently understanding only the main pith of the written material. regading the words, they ask the same words over and over again. So, memorise the word meanings from all the papers that i have put up. U will surely get all of them common. In case, u have given GRE, don't bother abt this section at all. All words are common. Each section is time limited. I have forgotten the exact time division. So u can not afford to waste too much time on any one section. 2. Psychometry: When u clear the above three section, u will be allowed to appear for psychometry. Its 150 qstns to be answered in 30 min. Always remember to give POSITIVE and CONSISTENT answers since the same qstn repeats with a different sentence construction sometimes later. Try to hide -ve traits in ur character as like being impatient, getting bored easily, distracted easily, feeling uneasy in a gathering of many people, unsocial and over talkative nature, etc. They ask qstns like whether u wld make frndship with a person of opposite sex, feel insomnia without reason, consistently brood over a mistake u did in the past, the type of person u r, etc etc. what u r actually is not important, what qualities wld make ur employers happy is important. 3. After u clear psycho, is ur technical interview. Qstns come mainly from the projects, experiences u have gathered. They check ur resume and the blue form and ask qstns from there. Even sometimes they test ur logical ablities by asking puzzles like the type they ask at Infy. get through with the project works and stuff and be smart and reply confidently. 4. Clearing technical inter will make u elligible for HR interview which is also the final stage. Qstns are various types, including ur background, ur hobbies, etcx etc. They are known to harrass people with their hobbies. so, whatever hobbies u write, plzz be through with it and prepare so that u can answer qstns from ur hobbies. Like if u say singing, plzz get through with ur scale and technical things related to singing etc. If u like reading, plzz be prepared to name a few novels and face qstns on those novels. Also, they might try to embarras u by asking qstns of personal and slightly indecent nature like abt ur boyfriend, ur affairs(if any) etc. Stay calm and answer them with a smiling face. Keep eye contact. Don't get provoked by any means. ----------------------------------------------Freshersworld.com
