Finally, i got mail on 21st sept. Thanks to GOD,  I was in TCS. Around 200 students were selected in this round.

I attended 5 companies up to now. TCS was my 6th company but I didn’t loose hope. If you have failed yet, don’t get disappointed. Losers got a chance to correct their mistakes and winners lost their chance to correct their mistakes. If you are selected, remember, you are better than those who are participated for that interview, but not the ‘Best’. I got selected in off-campus, I am very happy for that. Because,  i completed with the other college students also. But those who got selected in On-campus are completed with the students of their college. Getting job in TCS is one of my great achievements in my life.

So do your home work well and keep faith in GOD.

All the best!

Test Paper :6 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 29  August  2010   Test Location  : SRMCEM, Lucknow  Posted By        : Richa

I received a hall ticket from TCS to attend the off campus drive at SRMCEM, Lucknow on 29th August at 8am. There was a crowd of around 250-300 candidates in the morning batch.

It was a Computer Based Test(CBT) for 60 minutes. We were to attempt 35 questions. The questions were based on logics; some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical.

IMPORTANT: I discussed with many friends who had appeared for this process recently and also read it on www.freshersworld.com  regarding the experience of other candidates. Many had to say that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round, then you must attempt somewhere around 23-25 questions to make it through. But this is not the case. What I figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy. I attempted just 16 questions and still made it through, because all 16 questions I answered were correct. I made no guess. Even one of my friends made through TCS on 28th August by attempting 16 questions and all of them were right. There were a few of my friends who attempted 17 question with 1-2 wrong answers and some who made 2-3 guesses. They couldn't make through the written round. There was one candidate who attempted 15 questions and all right, and he also made it through. So, all I could make out was that TCS is selecting candidates on 100% accuracy; ofcourse there must be some lower limit to the question you should answer. Since I saw a candidate attempting 15 questions and still making through, so I guess 15 would be the minimum out of 35. Please do not guess or do not attempt if you are not sure about your answer.

The computer based test had questions from:Area and Perimeter, Probability (Many questions from this chapter).Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter).Pipes and Cisterns, Ratio and Proportion and some logical questions

The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements. I remember one question where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end after 5-6 lines, they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul. I'd rather suggest everyone to start reading the question from where they find any Numerica data.

I don't remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical value). I'll share with u a few questions such that you can understand what the question asked for.

Question 1: There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds. It makes 2 musical sounds after being defective. What is the probability that same musical sound would be produced 5 times consecutively? ( 1 of )Answer: 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/32

32 will be the answer. (My friends got similar question with "3 times consecutively"; for that the answer would be 8)

Question 2: Peter and Paul are two friends. The sum of their ages is 35 years. Peter is twice as old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now. What is the present age of Peter?Luckily, I had this question twice. Initially I left it because of the confusing statement but when I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it.Answer: 20 years. I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fit, because the statement in the question was pretty confusing.

Question 3: The ages of two friends is in the ratio 5:6. After how many years will the ages be in the ratio 7:8?Answer: 10 years.

Question 4: (There was a long story, I'll cut short it). There are 5 materials to make a perfume: Lilac, Balsalmic, Lemon, Woody and Mimosaic. To make a perfume that is in demand the following conditions are to be followed: Lilac and Balsalmic go together. Woody and Mimosaic go together, Woody and Balsalmic never go together. Lemon can be added with any material. (Actually they had also mentioned how much amount of one can be added with how much quantity of the other; but that's not needed for the question.) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume EXCEPT:1) Balsalmic and Lilac2) Woody and Lemon3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and LilacAnswer: Mimosaic and Lilac. I have made the question here really easy to understand. But the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer. It took me some time to get to the answer.

Question 5: A girl has to make pizza with different toppings. There are 8 different toppings. In how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings.Answer: 8 * 7 = 56

Question 6: A triangle is made from a rope. The sides of the triangle are A cm, B cm and C cm. (I do not remember the numerical value). What will be the area of the square made from the same rope?

Question 7: What is the distance of the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equation ax+by+cz+d=0. (I do not remember the values of a,b,c,d)

Question 8: An athlete decides to run the same distance in 1/4th less time that she usually took. By how much percent will she have to increase her average speed?Answer: 33.33%

Question 9: A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs. Horse takes 4 hours to reach the pony. If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph, what s the average speed of the pony? (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

These are a few questions that I could recall. I made through the aptitude round by attempting 16 questions. Next was Technical Interview Round.

Technical Interview:Here I will discuss the technical questions that were asked to me and also the questions asked to my friends.

Question 1: Write the pointer representation of a[i][j][k].

Question 2: i = 5i++, ++i, --i, i--, 5What will be the output if it is printed?

Question 3: How will you insert a new node between any two nodes in a linked list? Write the code.

Question 4: How will you find a particular data in the linked list?

Question 5: What is MD5?

Question 6: What is RSA? Explain its principle.

Question 7: There is a triangle and 3 ants on each vertex of the triangle. The 3 ants start to move randomly along the edges of the triangle. What is the probability that two ants will collide?

Question 8: What is the difference between C and C++?

Question 9: What do you mean by polymorphism?

Question 10: Give an example of polymorphism with code.

Question 11: What do you mean by OOP?

Question 12: What is inheritance?

Question 13: What is a friend function?

Question 14: What is an abstract class?

Question 15: Suppose there is a number 235 such that sum of first two digits is equal to the third digit. How many such 3 digits number are possible?

Question 16: Why is the VIRTUAL keyword used in C++?

Question 17: Which keyword is written to use a variable declared in one class in the other class?

Question 18: Suppose a code is written in C and you want to use that code in C++. How can you do that?

Question 19 What do you mean by DML?

Question 20: Is there any language other than SQL where DML is used? If yes, then which?

Question 21: How many normal forms do we have?

Question 22: Here is a tic-tac-toe game which is being played by 2 people:x o _o _ _x o x

Represent the blank spaces. Who played the last chance (x or o)?

Technical Questions asked to my friends:

Question 1: What is a transaction? Properties of Transaction?

Question 2: What "condition" will be written in the if statement such that both Hello World are printed when the following code is executed.

if(condition){printf("Hello");}

else{printf("World");}

Question 3: What will be the output of the following code?int i=5;printf("%d, %d, %d", i++, i, ++i);

Which C compiler do you use? (My friend said TURBO)What will be the output of above code in TURBO compiler? (He said same)No! It will not be the same.

After the Technical round, there was an MR i.e. Managerial Round.It was just a 2-3 minutes round. The interviewer asked me to introduce myself. Then asked about my father. Then core values and strengths. Your hobbies? Which latest novel have you read?

Next was the HR round. This was a little time taking round as the technical one.Question 1: Introduce yourself?Question 2: Your family background; father, mother, siblings.Question 3: How does TCS earns its revenues? How it does its business?Question 4: What was the need of bringing Information Technology in India?Question 5: There is a round cake. You have 3 chances to cut the cake. Divide the cake into 8 pieces in these 3 chances.Question 6: Suppose if I reject you today, what will you do next?Question 7: You have a good communication skill. Why is it so? Is it because of your schooling or family atmosphere? Whom do you give the credit for this?Question 8: What are your strengths? Give 2 examples of your life incidents that portray this strength in you.Question 9: What are your weaknesses?

This was it. Out of some 250-300 candidates, only 10 could make it till the HR round and I'm glad to be one of them. They have asked us to wait for 2 weeks for the mail.

I'm waiting for my email.

Wish all you guys a very good luck!

Test Paper :15 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 28  September  2010   Test Location  : VNR Vignan Jyoti Engineering College  Posted By        : Gautam PalaniHi Friends, This is Gautam from Pragati Engineering college, surampalem, sharing my experience in being a part of TCS family which was a thriller movie in my life, because i never expected that i will be selected. I new most of the students will have confidence that written exam will be tough and will be eliminated in written itself. So i also have the same confidence that i will never crack the written exam, before this TCS i cleared CSC written exam, so you people those who have confidence like me and very much frustrated with placements and not getting into any company because of this written exam this experience may help you 1/10 times remaining 9 is your part ok lets see my movie of my life. It was 10th September I received a mail from Mr. Ranodeep of TCS inviting for TCS written test, as ususal my confidence came into picture that i will quit in written and already my friends who already  attempted also said that Questoins are very lengthy and difficult to answer it, so my confidence grew from 50 to 80 percent but remaining 20 percent confidence grown after seeing the expereinces from "frehersworld.com" written by some of my friends and one of my friend also cleared the written exam but he rejected in Managerial round bad luck he was shoked and he didn't know why he rejected but he gave me some valuable suggestions which helped me a lot. TCS exam pattern:

This time in TCS 2010 recruitment they changed the pattern, new pattern is 35 questions 60 mins for which 1 mark for correctly answering -1/3(-0.33) for wrong one's. Don't guess and dont put nearest answer just if your confident then only attempt it , I confidently attempte 25  in which 24 are correct i am proud of myself, i never believed because you already know my confidence.

Tips to crack the written:

1. Read the question from last 2 lines if not able to get go to last 3 lines, bottom up approach is more importatnt because relevent information about question is available at last lines only.

2. Topics to be concentrated in R.S Aggarwal uncle's booka) Pipes and cisterns (Only concentrate on methods like simulaneus filling taps and sequentital filling time taken and size of tub )2 problemsb) Time and Distance (Average distance problems formula-2xy/(x+y) x-first speed y-second speed -1 prob and d=s*t simple problem only 1 so total 2 problemsc) Numerical calculations simple problem based on (A+B)^2=A^2+B^2+2AB AND (A+B)^3

But not directly he will ask it using lilavathi story telling the concept at last saying that product of two numbers is something and sum of two numbers is something find sum of squres of that number  A+B is given AB is given solve it using  A+B whole square formal and get sum of squares 2 problems.d) Ages problems 2 problemse) Surface area and formulas on geomentry 1 problemf) Permutation -2 problemsg) Probability -2 problemsh) Blood relations -2 problems same problems from R.S uncle(Aggarwal)

Just  know the concept to solve and use the 1st tip its enough you will be able to solve 16 questions 3 puzzles are there which i will be sharing all the types.

I remembered only these questions. I attempted 25 questions.

1) Two tanks A and B. A fills 1 ltr/1 hour B fills 10, 20, 30 per hour. If this is (passage unnecessary). If 1/4th tank of B takes 15 hours to fill how much it time will to take to fill complete tank?

2) Out of 7 children the youngest is boy then find the probability that all the remaining children are boys 3) The three sides of a triangle are given. 16, 14, 21 cms and this triangle is conveted into a square. So what will be the area of the square generated?

4) An equation of the form 4x+6y-2z=32 . Find the difference between x intercept and z intercept?Ans: x/a+y/b+z/c=

5) A Toy train can make 10 sounds sound changes after every 4 mins, now train is defective and can make only 2 sounds. Find probability that same sound is repeated 5 times consecutively (1 out of)? 6) 20men and 20 women are there, they dance with each other, is there possibilty that 2 men are dancing with same women and vice versa. 7) 10 people are there, they are shaking hands together, how many hand shakes possible, if they are in  no pair of cyclic sequence. 8) In school there are some bicycles and 4wheeler wagons. One Tuesday there are 234 wheels in the campus. How many bicycles are there? 9) A father has 7 penny’s with him and 1 water melon is for 1p, 2 chickoos for 1p, 3 grapes foe 1p. He has three sons. How can he share the friuts equally? 10)  A piza shop made pizzas with to flavours. In home there are ‘9’ different flavors, in that ‘2’ flavors are taken to made piza   in  how many ways they can arrange?(Logic: NcM, N= 9, M=2 )  11) One organization, material, labor and maintenance are in the ratio of 4:6:7, if the material cost is: 272, what is the total cost?

12) 4 years before Paul’s age is 3times the Alice age and the present age of Paul is 6times the Alice. What is the presents Paul’s age?

13) In a question, last part has, the ages of two people has the ratio of 6:5 and by adding the numbers we get 55, after how many years the ratio would be 8:7?

14)  In a room (unwanted stuff) Sports readers, 10 tables, 4 chairs per table, each table has different number of people then how many tables will left without at least one person? 15) Question based on V=I*R but in dis question most of data given are ridiculas like volume, density, length, height similar long story are given

16) Peter and Paul are two friends. The sum of their ages is 42 years. Peter is twice as old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now. What is the present age of Peter?

17) A horse chases a pony 2 hours after the pony runs. Horse takes 4 hours to reach the pony. If the

average speed of the horse is 81 kmph, what s the average speed of the pony? (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement)

18) Difference between two numbers is 4 and their product is 17. Then find the sum of their squers?

19)  A, B, C, D, E are there among A, B, C are boys and D, E are girls D is to the left of A and no girl sits at the middle and at the extemes. Then what is the order of their sittings.

20) Some ages problem, then asked the answer in binary.

21) Some denominations question like you have 31 paise, and ticket cost is between 1 to 31, you have to give the exact denominations for the ticket. Find all the no. of possible denominations you may prdict and you must be left wid atleast few paise?

22) Direction problems. A man goes 50 km North, then turned left walked 40 km, then turned right? In which direction is he in?

Technical Round(TR): 28th Sept

My friends faced simple C programs and briefly about project. Now It's  my turn, he asked me about my self and about my main project nearly 35 minutes and 2 simple Technical  questions.You should prepare C programs like reverse of a number, palindrome, fibonacci, even number series, odd number series etc. and also data structure concepts.

MR round: Next dayThis round is  horrible for me, I faced some Technical questions here also.He asked some basic concepts, i answered those questions correctly and confidently but he argued with me that your answers are wrong then i told my answers are correct sir, then he gave a horrible statement i.e "You think that I am not able to write even a simple C program also" it was strange to me but i managed the situation. After some time he said that "Ok Mr. Gautam even you are not pefect in basic cinsepts how can i select you? So you can go now try again after 6 months". He repeated this for 4 times, each time i smiled and justifying my answer, he again repeated the same for 5th time too strange for me, at that time i get up from the chair and again with a smile i asked that "Shell I wait at out side sir?" then with a smile he said that "Ok Gautam you are promoted to H.R round".I was very happy after clearing the M.R round. I proceeded to H.R round with a lot of confidence.

H.R Round:

Here also i faced some Technical  questions and H.R asked me that,1) Tell me about  your self?2) Tell me any 2 incidents you want to share with me?3) Why your % decreased in B.Tech? (As i had 77% in diploma, 73% in X , 68 in  my B.Tech)4) Your strengths? (very frequnet qiestion but be prepared)5) Your family?6) How you ranked your self compared with your friends?

Like this my H.R completed.

It was a nice conversation between me and HR they said they will inform me within a 10 days. I got a mail that in 9 days it self statin that "you clered TCS selection process". That is my movie story. I got offer letter on13th Oct. By gods, fresherworld.com, shakkus, my friends, and myself  grace i am one of TCS  family.

Hope this type of interview may happen to all of you who apply for this company.See you in TCS friends.

All the best.          The End.

Test Paper :16 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 22  August  2010   Test Location  : Techno India  Posted By        : Bedanta banerjee

Hi Friends, I would like to introduce myself as Bedanta Banerjee from Netaji Subhash Engineering Collage, Garia, Kolkata. I have sat for TCS offcampass drive on 22nd August, 2010 in Techno India Collage, Salt Lake. When I am writing this article, I already got selected in TCS and got the offer letter. Fresherworld and its placement papers helped me a lot and I am thankful to them. This made me to open my pen to share my experiences with you and if you sincerely follow my rules, you will definitely clear the entire selection process with ease.

Touchstone test:

At first, I would like to introduce you to the Touchstone test of TCS generated by TCS employees and IIT students; This is the aptitude test which you have to clear first.  It consists of more than 2 lakhs questions on mainly quantitative aptitude. Don’t be frightened because of it's sheer volume; actually it consists of only 300 around questions with interchanged data. Touchstone test is a computer based test and it asks you to complete 35 questions within 60 minutes. Again, I am saying that it is a very very easy test to clear, try to follow my rules. A 3 to 4  day preparation is enough. 3 day preparation strategy 4 touchstone test :

Rule 1: Prepare yourself on the following topics; Just brush up your basics: ages, percentages, ratio and proportion, numbers, time and distance, sequence, time and work, probability, permutation and combination &  blood relation. {Here probability and per/com is optional because it carries only 3-4 questions on it.}

Rule 2: Go through the previous papers in fresherworld of this test. I have also giving you some relevant questions which appeared in our test.

Rule 3: Try to solve the questions by yourself; don't memorize them because data will be changed.

Rule 4:  Try to just interchange the data of the questions and solve them faster and faster. The Time Management is a important skill often tested in aptitude test. So by practicing the questions given below try to develop speed and accuracy.

Rule 5: Speed reading is a important part of this test as all the questions do have some irrelevant data. So in these 3  days of preparation, try to find the relevant data from the question and read very fast.

Tricks for aptitude test: 

1) You will be asked to answer 35 questions in 60 minutes. At the beginning, don’t even think to answer all questions.

2) Just go through all the 35 questions and solve the easy ones. Every paper consists of minimum 15-17 easy questions and rest of them moderately difficult.

3) Try to answer the easy ones 15-16 questions out of 35 within 45 mins and also write the individual number of moderately easy ones or mark them [that u think can do within 3-4 mins ] in the scratch paper.

4) Last 12-15 mins of the exam, try to solve the marked ones, atleast of 5 them.

5) The difference between you and others will lay answering marked ones, so try to solve the easy 15-16 as fast as you can. [Caution: you try to believe that u can acquire 100% accuracy in easy questions; so complete the easy questions of entire range question number 1 to 35 within 40-45 mins.]

5) So after the time is completed, you will find urself answering 22-24 questions without any rigorous preparation. Those who r a bit slower in calculations can also clear this test by my plan. And cut off, as I already mentioned, lies below 20 around 18-19.

6) Last but not the least, don't try to mark the questions you are not absolutely sure; as the paper consists of negative marking, you will not be able to meet the cutoff.

Some examples of touchstone test:

1. Which is the smallest no divides 2880 and gives a perfect square?a.1    b.2   c.5   d.6Ans: c

2. Two bowls are taken, one contains water and another contains tea. Equal amount . one spoon of water from 1st is added to second bowl and mixed well, and a spoon of mixture is taken from second bowl and added to the 1st bowl. Which statement will hold good for the above?

{

Thought process : 

Water bowl                                                                tea bowl

100                                                                                                 100

90w (+10w= spoon vol)                                        100tea+10water

90w+ (10*10/11)tea+ 10/11 w                                100t- (10*10/11) t

                                                                                        + 10w- 10/11w

(1st bowl’s water vol is equal to 2nd bowls tea volume)

3. Form 8 digit numbers from by using 1, 2,3,4,5 with repetition is allowed and must be divisible by4?a.31250    b.97656   c.78125   d.97657  Ans: c 4. Rearrange and categorize the word ‘RAPETEKA’? Ans: Bird

5. One problem on (785^3-235^3)/(785^2+785*235+235^2)

Ans: You are free to carry a calculator with you but you should not use it to solve this kind of problem. Because it is simple:A3-b3 / a2+ab+b2Ans is : a-b here 785-235= 550 thats it.    6. In school there are some bicycles and 4 wheeler wagons. One Tuesday there are 190 wheels in the campus. How many bicycles are there?Ans: 15

Thought process : b*2+w*4=190   i.e. , b+2w=95 now see u ca not solve 2 unknowns fron 1 eqation, so just plot options here to get the right answer  and verify if you are getting integers as vales of B and W.

7. There are two persons paul and Jay .Paul lies on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday and the remaining days he speaks truth.Jay lies on Thursday,Friday,Saturday and the remaining Days he speaks truth. once they meet each other, in their conversation Paul says that  yesterday is the day one among those I lie. Jay also says that yesterday  I also lie. what is that day?

a) Sunday.  b) Tuesday.  c) Thursday.  d) Wednesday[Thought process: Now this day cannot be Sunday because in Monday paul speaks truth and Sunday everyone tells truth. So it must be weekdays. Again, Tuesday  can not possible because Monday and Tuesday paul speaks truth. In case of thrus day, paul speaks lie and Wednesday he speaks true. And joy speaks truth in thrusday and he speak lies in Wednesday.  So, thrusday is the answer. 8. A father has 7 penny’s with him and 1 water melon is for 1p, 2chickoos for 1p, 3 grapes foe 1p. He has three sons. How can he share the fruits equally?Ans: 1 watermelon, 2chickoos, 1grape 9. (1/2) of a number is 3 times more than the (1/6) of the same number? Ans: 9 10. There are two pipes A and B. If A filled 10 liters in hour B can fills 20 liters in same time. Likewise B can fill 10, 20, 40, 80,160…. If B filled in (1/16) th of a tank in 3 hours, how much time will it take to fill completely?Ans: 7 hours 11.  A man is standing before a painting of a man and he says I have no bro and sis and his [painted picture] father is my father’s son?Ans: His son 12. One question has last part like difference between two terms is 9 and product of two numbers is 10, what is the squares of sum of numbers? Ans: thought process : a-b=9  and  ab= 10 a+b = sqrt[9^2 + 4*10] = 11a= 10 and b=1 so 101 ans. 13. What is the value of [(3x+8Y)/(x-2Y)]; if x/2y=2?Ans:10 {the numerical may change) 14.   A pizza shop made pizzas with to flavours.in home there are ‘N’ different flavors, in that ‘M’ flavors are taken to made pizza.in how many ways they can arrange?(Logic: NcM ) 14. One grandfather has three grandchildren, two of their age difference is 3, eldest child age is 3 times youngest child’s age and eldest child’s age is two times of sum of other two children. What is the age of eldest child?Ans:15 15 . In one organization, material,  labour and maintenance are in the ratio of 4:6:7, the material cost is: Rs. 100, what is the total cost?Ans: 425

16. KEYWORDS: density, reluctance, sensitivity, voltage, current, what is the resistance Formula is “R=V/I”

17.   In a market 4 man are standing .the average age of the four before 4 years is 45, after some days one man is added and his age is 49. What is the average age of all?Ans: 49 18.   In a school for a student out of a 100 he got 74 of average for 7 subjects and he got 79 marks in 8th subject. what is the average of all the subjects?Ans: 74.625 

19.  In a question ,last part has, the ages of two people has the ratio of 6:6 and by adding the numbers we get 44, after how many years the ratio would be 8:7?Ans: 8 20. One train travels 200m from A to B with 70 km/ph and returns to A with 80kmph, what is the average of their speed?Ans: Use harmonic mean formula: avg speed = 2ab/a+b  = 2*70*80/150

21. A question  like a wire is wound whose resistance is  some 132. 44647 ohms. If a voltage of 30 mv, 296 ma current is applied to it what is the resistance.

Clue: use formula  R= V/I. beware of voltage & current particularly kilo or milli etc. units.

22. In a city,  there are 100 buildings numbered by corporation between 0-100, how many twos are shown in door,Ans: 2,12,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,32,42,52,62,72,82,92=(20 twos)

I have attempted 28 questions in the test and meet the cut off with ease. My name was 1st to be declared. In our offcampus batch of aptitude, out of 90+ students only 22 names were declared. So when it will be your turn, make sure that your name will be declared.

Important points: 1) Calculator is allowed 2) Questions are lengthy unneccessarily, but are easy so do the short questions first & in lengthy questions, analyse a little bit, be smart. Generally the answers can be taken out from last part of the questions. 3) Although test is online, you can switch between the questions easily & change your answers as well, before you actually click on submit.

 4) R.S. Aggarwal is enough for written test.  2) Technical Interview Questions are based upon1) project.2) Any strong language.3) Resume especially the technical skills written in your resume.4) 3 Favourite subject.

In my case they told me to give 3 subject name I gave then RDBMS, C++, Software Engg. My interviewer was impresed with me as i gave RDBMS as my first choice then he asked me about 10 to 15 question form DBMS as about joins, normalization, integrity, acid property etc all were simple and basic.

After asking question he asked me about my home towns etc and then i left the room. After 20 mins one person came and took me for MR round. I MR round he asked me abt myself why TCS. Sell your self in 1 min give your self point out of ten in Java. I gave 8. He asked me are you confident  i said yes sir mainly he was checking my confdence and he asked one question from Java  which i answered then he gave me a situation that two of my best friend is not doing their work and give it to me then will i complain or not. It was atriky question which i answered very well and after that at last he asked me who is the CEO of TCS. "Frankly i was not knowing that answer but very confidently i answered" " Sir i don't know full name but his name is Mr. Srinivasan"  I was knowing that i was wrong the he asked me are you sure very confidently i said yes sir. I think my confidence impresed him. then he told me Rajeev if you are right then you will get your result and if  you are wong even though you will get your result and i came out after 30 min result announced and i got selected 4 last round which was HR round

In HR round they mainly asked me about my family back ground, introduce your self, why TCS, your strength and weakness etc and at last i came out. then one HR came and told me that i will be mail my result after 10 days i got a call from TCS office they asked me about my year break and family background i on know why but at last they told me that i will be mail my result after 10 to 15 day. I was quit nervious but at last on 22nd of September i got a mail about my selection anf my offer letter also

It amazing na i got deselected in TCS atlast.I hope you will fing this help full prepare well and wish me luck for my joining.

See you all in my dream company TCS.                                 

Test Paper :18 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 7  September  2010   Test Location  : MLRIT College, Hyderabad  Posted By        : Anil Kumar

Hi Friends,

This is Anil from RRSCET sharing my experience in being a part of TCS family which was a thriller movie in my life, because i never expected that i will be selected. I new most of the students will have confidence that written exam will be tough and will be eliminated in written itself. So i also have the same confidence that i will never  crack the written exam and i never cleared any exam except this TCS, so you people those who have confidence like me and very much frustrated with placements and not getting into any company because of this written exam this experience may help you 2/10 times

remaining 8 is your part (haha yeh dekhne se selc8 nahi hota beta padna zaruri hai  magar bagwan saat dena) ok lets see my movie of my life. TCS(total confusing situation). It was 5th September I received a mail from Mr. Ranodeep of TCS inviting for TCS written round, as ususal my confidence came into picture that i will quit in written and already my friends also said that it has very group of large questions  impossible to clear, so my confidence grew from 60 to 90 percent but 10 percent confidence grown after seeing the expereinces from freshersworld written by some of my friends and also one of my friend cleared the written exam but he failed in Technical round bad luck due to some reason but he gave me some valuable suggestions which helped me a lot and i will add some of the them here along with my suggestions. TCS exam pattern: This time in TCS 2010 recruitment they changed the pattern,  new pattern is 35questions 60mins for which 1 mark for correctly answering -0.33 for wrong one's.(edar bhagawan ko mat sochna haha luck nahi kaam aata sirf talent) us life don't guess just if your confident only attempt it i'm confident in attempting 32  in which 31 are correct i am proud of myself, i never believed because you already know my confidence. Tips to crack the written:

1. Read the question from last 2 lines if not able to get go to last 3 lines bottom up approach is more importatnt because saying about (Eg: lilavathi ka hei8 he will ask product of 2 number what are those sum of squares of the same numbers at last) this why read it from last2. Topics to be concentrated in R.S Aggarwal uncle's booka) Pipes and cisterns (Only concentrate on methods like simulaneus filling taps and sequentital filling time taken and size of tub )2 problemsb) Time and Distance (Average distance problems formula-2xy/(x+y) x-first speed y-second speed -1 prob and d=s*t simple problem only 1 so total 2 problemsc)Numerical calculations simple problem based on (A+B)^2=A^2+B^2+2AB AND (A+B)^3 But not directly he will ask it using lilavathi story telling the concept at last saying that product of two numbers is something and sum of two numbers is something find sum of squres of that number  A+B is given AB is given solve it using  A+B whole square formal and get sum of squares 2 problemsd) Ages problems 2 problemse) Surface area and formulas on geomentry 1 problemf) Permutation -2 problemsg) Probability -2 problemsh) Blood relations -2 problems same problems from R.S uncle(Aggarwal) Just  know the concept to solve and use the 1st tip its enough you will be able to solve 16 questions 3 puzzles are there which i will be sharing all the types.  a) Uncle puzzle is there which means 7 rupees must be divided between 3 things banan, choco, biscuit for buying this for this type of puzzle answer is always 1. 1st item 2-2nd item1-3rd item squence is 1,2,1 b) My papers as different puzzle that is 20 cake pieces must be divided among 3 people mother father and sons that is mother eats 2 pieces  father eats 3 and son eats half so what will be the quantity to so choose the option which suits the question cum from options that is add the qunatity by father and mother and son to get total 20 which will suit it that is the answer. c) A question on arrangement on letters answers may me one is bird or animal if its repeteka its bird if its rigte its animal (tiger). d) A question on hand shake which is from shakus puzzle buk formula is 2^n=n(n-1)/2 number of hand shakes problem 8 people attending party number of hanshakes with cycle means 8*7/2=28 or if u find the word  no cycle than answer is 7 one less  e) A question on socks to be picked in dark room to get the socks of same color its number of choices total number of types of socks +1 

f) A problem on cake preparing toppings its always (ans:ncm=28) same as handshakes g) A problem on buliding number number of 2's  or 3's or 4's etc upto 9 answer is always 20 (count 2 in 22 two times every body in this forms will written8 19 its worng its answer is 20 for 2-9 number and 21 for number of 1's because 100 is included. h) A problem on ohm law V=IR formula simple bit this problems if you prepare its enough to get 30 out of 35 may be 35 also but remaining 3 i don't know how to solve  and some model question i'm uploading the file solve all those you will easily get 30 in my movie that day was the happiest day i felt because first time in my life i lost my confidence that i have previously (failing in written).I got the mail to night that I am shortlisted for TR i was very much excited first time i got the oppurtunity to prove my interview ability and technical skills and softskills(which i don't have) Technical and mangeral interview on 9th Sept My project is on Java so they concentrated only on project mainly real time questions since I done my project on my own they told me to write the code also which i wrote succesfully ony 1 module( don't worry) 2. Questions on C mainly from arrays and pointers and structures and linked lists practice one program from each just to have confident that you know all haha. Simple programs to be known fibb, factorial prime, even and odd arrays to be constriucted taking numbers as inuput, pascal traingle, pyramid  all this are not asked only for me but i am writing all the question asked for CSE people for ECE what is data structure give exmple this questions for EEE they are rejecting most of them. It was combined round for me that is manegral and technical which for 30-35mins they said to wait for 10 mins besides them they said you are through to HR. I was shocked gods grace i was forwaded to HT (highly risky).  HR round: Same day This round was a walking cake for me because the interviwer was like my brother who was talking very friendly with me 1. Tell me about Yourself (This was my expecting question but he not started with this question he started saying)HR:  Mr Anil your eyes are read?Me: Sir, i was reading  the whole night yesterday for technical round HR: So you read for technical rounds (actually i should say i was prepring not reading this the mistake he caught)Me: It's not like that sir i need to brush up all the technical topics i have in my academics  HR: So if you read like this the whole night than your nerves will get disturbed you can't work in companys Me: Yes sir, but frankly speaking last time i have attended the interview in Accenture i failed to clear the technical round. So this time i don't want to miss this oppurtunity that's why sir i prepared so much and i'm successfull in doing so because if you clear TR only they will send to HR HR: Thats good Anil so wat are your weakness Me: I will never mind the time if i like to work on something i like  HR: Whats your stengths Me: Hardworker sir which is already prooved( seeing my eyes haha) HR:  Haha laughingly said niceMe: Sir would you like to see my achievements(diverting)  HR: No i trust you, you just say me why you got those Me: Said the history of those topics and said i am interested in knowing the new tehcnologys sir  HR: Ahaa so can you tell me one which is not presently launched in a market but yet to be launchedMe : Said every thing the new tehcnology names cryonics ( getting back the dead person)

 HR:  Vow thats really great where you got this Me:  From net  HR: Do you cry AnilMe: No sir  HR: Last time when you cried  Me: Said some situation about my mother  HR: Ok asked about my family how many members are there in your family Me : 3 myslef my father and mother  HR: Will you relocate?Me: Yes sir  HR: But you are the only one to your parents name you may be prefering Hyderabad. Me: Yes sir, if the preference is given to me i prefer hyderabad but if the TCS requires me in other location i am ready to relocate my cousin will take care of them. HR: Ok that's fine Anil just read english news papers so that you can develop your career more and more ok by TCS all the best see youMe: Thank you sir shaking the hands came out happily.  It was a nice conversation between me and HR they said they will inform me within a week but its got too late because of holidays Sept 20 the release of my movie haha at 12:30 i received a mail from Ranodeep saying your slected hahaha by gods, fresherworld, shakkus, my friends, and myself  grace i am one of TCS  family.

I'm in ECE student.

 Aptitude test: The aptitude test consists of 35 questions and here we have been given negative marking of 0.33 per wrong answer. At the selection the bench mark was 22marks. Its an easy test where more than 25 questions can be cleared easily.

Never try to solve the questions first that have more number of lines. Try to read last line of the questions because first lines will be of unrelevated data coming to questions first search for the numerical data in the questions and just the logic how the questions can be solved

1.  Which is the smallest no divides 2880 and gives a perfect square? a.1    b.2   c.5   d.6 Ans: c

And if there are 10 persons inside the room then how many reading spots donot have atleast a single reader. (1)  5     (2)   6      (3)  7   (4)  None     Ans 6. because different no of persons are sitting on round table. So possible differnt combinations for 10 people will be 1 2 3 4. because max 4 people can sit on round table. so round tables left are 6. 9. A person do rock climbing at an altitude of 800 m.He go up by 7 mph. and come down by 9 mph. what was his av speed. Ans (7+9)/2=8. 10. A boy want to make a cuboid of dimension 5m, 6m, 7m. from small cubes of .03 m3. later he realized he can make same cuboid by making it hollow. Then it take some cubes less. What is the no. of these cube.Ans. Vol of solid cuboid= 5*6*7=210 m3. Vol of its inner cuboid by removal of which the cuboid will be hollow= (5-2)*(6-2)*(7-2)=60 m3, then ans will be 60/.03  11. Two years ago A was 6 times older than B. Now he is 2 times older than B. What is the age of A. Ans. Age of A=5, Age of B= Two and half. 12.

I remember only some of these questions. Also prepare the following topics:

Ages, percentages, numbers, simplification, profit and loss, time and work, time and distance etc.

Try to see maximum all test papers previous ones

Then you can clear the first round.

Later you will be called for interview after 2 or 3 days.

There will be 3 rounds.

1. Technical round

2. M.R

3. H.R

Technical round:

As i'm an ECE student they asked about C, Data structure and digital electronics. I heard from other branches C.S.E students must concentrate on software engineering and DBMS also they hey will ask basic concepts and they may ask to right programs. So just check various programs swapping without using third variable like that. 

M.R:

They will check our resume clearly and checks our fluency communication skills and leadership quallites.

H.R:

It's a cool round. If make blunders only we will be eliminated in this round.

All the best guys, Take care

Test Paper :20 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 21  August  2010   Test Location  : SJB Institute of Technology, Bangalore  Posted By        : Gourab BhattacharyyaHi, I'm Gourab Bhattacharyya from Asansol Engineering College, CSE, 2010 batch. I appeared for TCS at SJBIT in Bangalore on 21st August. TCS conducted their  off-campus for a month. On 21st August. I was called at 3.00 P.M and on that day more than 1000 candidates appeared and in my batch there is about 200 students. At 5.30 p.m. our aptitude started and on 7.00 p.m i got my result, that i was cleared. The aptitude on the next day i appeared for next rounds, i.e, for technical and GD. All the details are given below. Selection procedures: 1. Aptitude test(35 questions in 1 hour)2. Technical interview3. GD TCS is now using the touchstone software for their online test. Aptitude section: 

There are 35 questions in 1 hour  as aptitude. For each wrong answer 0.33 marks will be deducted and for each right answer 1 marks will be given. Some of the questions are given below. Friends there is a trick of solving these questions. Don’t read the whole question carefully just see what they want and what are the data you need to give the answers. Don’t waste so much time for just 1 single question because you can get back to it after solving the easier ones. 1. A scientist who is doing a research, found that color of skin of animals vary with change in distance. One day he started to chase a beer. He walked 1 mile towards north, then turned and walked 1 mile towards east and then he turned right and caught the beer and radio-ribboned the beer. Then he left the beer at that spot and returned to his base-station taking a turn(walked 1 mile). Then what was the color of beer at that spot?a) White  b) Brown  c) Black   d) GreyAns: White(because in North and South pole baears are of white in colour). 2. There is a problem on a race between a horse and a cat, after chasing so much the horse finally caught the cat when the sun already been set and the moon is in the sky. Some numeric value was given it’s easy just calcute the distance traveled by the horse and by that the speed of that cat. As I remember the Answer: is 66.67 m/sec(check it). 3. After knowing how the fibbonacci series works two friends of a class tried to invent a new series and they took 3 and 7 as the first two terms. One day they ask you to say the next term on that series as you are also in the same class. What will be that term.3,7,7,25,15,  ,31Ans: 61  (here two series are merged 1st:3,7,15,31 and 2nd:7,25,61,) 4. In a colony the municipality decided to number the houses and the shops. They want to number the shops with the numbers containing 3 between 1-100. The hoses are 10-20 flored and at the back of the house 8 feet is left for fire exit. How many shops can be numbered. a.3   b.10   c.19  d.23Ans:19 (Just count the numbers containing 3 between 1-100). 5. One question on calculation containg only operands and operators, just calculate it using calculator. 6. One problem from average. Its easy. 7. One from pipes and cisterns, it is also easy. 8. The cost of making robot is divided into cost of material, cost of repairing and cost of painting in the ratio of 5:2:3. The cost used for material is 200. Find the total cost of making the robot?Ans: 400 (just calculate it). 9. A tank fills in the squence of  10, 20 ,40, 80 (means 10 litre in 1 hr, 20 litr i 2nd nd so). IF at the 4th hour the tank is 1/4 full. When will it be full?Ans:6 (x/4=80 That means capacity of tank is 320 litres. From the series we can see that in 5th hour it's 160 and then in 6th hour it's 320) 10. What number should be used to divide 2880 into two perfect squares.a) 4    b) 5     c) 6Ans: 5 (easy calculation). I attended 22 questions out of 35 and 21 were  absolutely correct. So try to manage your time for solving questions. On the next day I first appeared for GD and then for Technical interview. GD: In GD round in our group there is 20 students and I was given time 9.00 a.m. and our GD was started at 12.30 p.m. We are given the topic “Who is the better manager a man or a woman”, all of us given

individually 1 min to speak on that topic. All of us spoke well. After that round ou of 20 only 16 were selected. Then we gone for Technical. Technical Interview. There is probably 15 panels for taking interview, one for each student. I was called for at 1.00 p.m.My interviewer was very friendly. Here is the interview. Me: Good afternoon sir(with smile)Interviewer: Good afternoon and then handshaked with me. Interviewer: Ok Gourab tell me about yourself.Me:Told briefly(with mentioning my week and strong point with example) Interviewer: Good GoodInterviewer: What programming languages u know?Me: C and Java and also told that, but my favourite subject is DBMS. Interviewer: Good GoodInterviewer: Ok.

I attempted 30 questions. Next day evening I got mail from TCS that I cleared aptitude test and called for interview. They sent one application form to mail. Interview is on 8 th in Vardhaman Engineering College, Hyderabad at 1:30pm.

I reached college by 12:30pm. They collected filled in application form at 2:45pm and calling one by one for technical interview.

Around 5:00pm, i was called for Technical Round. It’s a 2 member panel.

Me: Good Evening sir (I wished both)Int: Good evening. What’s your name? Me: Venkata Sateesh sir.Int: My name is Avinash. (I didn’t remembered other panelist name)Take your seat. Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses.

If you mention any references in application form, be ready to face the questions like how is he/she related to you? on what project he/she is working? What he/she told about our company? What is his/her designation?  What is his/her work in TCS? one of my friend rejected in the technical interview, because he not answered questions which i mentioned above. Interviewer told that

you must have interest to know about the work in a software company, without that interest how you work in a software company?)

I am waiting for my HR interview. After 2 hours i called for HR around 7:30pm.

Me: Good evening sir.Int: Good evening, take your seat. Me: Seat. (Interviewer is looking at my resume, which i already gave to them)Int: Tell me about yourself. Me: Told with confidence and smile on my face. (I think he was well satisfied with my answer).

(It’s a 3 min round for me. I felt very happy for that. They told me that they will send results to mail within a week or 2. I thought i am selected, and i was confident about my performance ).

Finally, i got mail on 20-9-2010. I'm selected for TCS.

I attended 10 companies up to now. First company which i attended in my life was TCS, and rejected in HR. I am selected in my 11th interview again it is TCS. If you are failed don’t get disappointed. Losers got a chance to correct their mistakes and winners lost their chance to correct their mistakes. If you are selected, remember, you are better than those who are participated for  that interview, but not the ‘BEST’. I got selected in off-campus, I am very happy for that. Because, i competed with the other college students also. But those who got selected in On-campus are competed with the students of their college. Getting job in TCS is one of my great achievements in my life.

All the best!

Test Paper :24 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 22  August  2010   Test Location  : GL Baja Engineering college Noida  Posted By        : Rahul GoelMy name is Rahul. I have done my BTech in CSE Branch, 2010. I attended TCS campus drive in Noida. All questions are being given with huge passage of irrelevant data. So, focus is needed while answering. So understanding whatever question wants in a less time need a focus. No verbal, no reasoning, only quantitative.

Paper Pattern.No need to read the whole passage just read what question is asking and read only those lines. The best thing in this is you need not to search for the questions whether you have answered them or not by scrolling. A window on righ side of the questions paper will display the status. The unanswered will  be in RED and answered will be in GREEN and this minimises the searching time. So it is an online paper and feel free to tension because speed of computer will be good. No GRE Barron, no other book. Only need to know basics of general quantitative like  * Area and Perimeter* Probability (Many questions from this chapter).* Problems on Ages (Many questions from this chapter).* Pipes and Cisterns* Ratio and ProportionAnd some logical questions1/3 Negative marking will be allowed. Important instruction:The  test will be comprise 35 question in 60 min. So Basic need is just to cross cutoff. So here accuracy is important because TCS is selection on the bases of accuracy not the no of question. But i think one should attempt at least 17 questions right. For cracking paper its beter to attempt simple question so if you stuck somewhere then move forward and attempt another one, believe me in my paper there were 15 questions which were so simple to answer. Memory based paper.1. 1st a story. Then a simple ratio problem. The question was if the ratio of age of two persons is 5:6,sum of present age is 33,then in how many years the ratio of their age becomes 7:8?a)3 b)4 c)5 d)6

2. Arrange the jumbled letters to make a perfect word RGTEI(sth like this). Find to which category it belong? (plz do not attempt if u do'nt knowthese type q becoz its time consuming)A)town b)vegetable c)animal d) bird

3. Simple question bt big one on average age.sth like a,b,c weigheted separately 1st a,b,c ,then a& b,then b&c ,then c&a at last abc,the last weight was 167,then what will be the avg weight of the 7 weight?

4. Simple puzzle based on IQ3 persons a,b,c were there A always says truth,B lies on Monday,tusday,& Wednesday.but  C lies on thrusday,Friday & saturday .one day A said”that B &  C said to  A that” B said “yesterday way one of the days when I lies”,C said that”yesterday way one of the days when I lies too”.then which day was that?Ans:   a Sunday

5. An athlete decides to run the same distance in 1/4th less time that she usually took. By how much percent will she have to increase her average speed?Answer: 33.33%

6. A girl has to make pizza with different toppings. There are 8 different toppings. In how many ways can

she make pizzas with 2 different toppings.Answer: 8 * 7 = 56

7. A triangle is made from a rope. The sides of the triangle are A cm, B cm and C cm. (I do not remember the numerical value). What will be the area of the square made from the same rope?

8. Peter and Paul are two friends. The sum of their ages is 35 years. Peter is twice as old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now. What is the present age of Peter?Luckily, I had this question twice. Initially I left it because of the confusing statement but when I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it.Answer: 20 years. I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fit, because the statement in the question was pretty confusing.

9. A scientist was researching on animal behavior in his lab. He was very interested in analyzing the behavior of bear. For some reason he travelled  1mile in north direction & reached at north pole.there he saw a bear .he then followed the bear around 1 hr with a speed of 2km/hr in east direction.After that he travelled in south direction & reached at his lab in2 hrs. Then what is the colour of the bear? ans is white

10. 2 pots are there.1st pot is filled with ink and 2nd pot is filled with water.take 1 spoon of ink from 1st pot and pore it in 2nd pot.and take 1 spoon of mixture from 2nd pot and pore it in 2nd pot then which one of following is true?Ans: Water in 1st pot  is less than the ink in 2nd pot.

11. A toy train can make 10 sounds sound changes after every 4 min, now train is defective and can make only 2 sounds. Find probability that same sound is repeated 3 times consecutively (1 out of)?

1. 16  2. 8  3. 12  4. 4Ans: (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = (1/8)

Lots of question based on probability all one tricky so do them on your risk.

12. Series Problem like 4 12 8 26 16 56 32 x ..? find x Ans is 120 because it is two series not a single one look at first series 4 8 16 32 ..... n second one 12 26 56 x. means 12 (12*2+2) (26*2+4) (56*2+8). Lots of question may be on Fibonacci series so have a look concept also.

13. Some question based on Dice and Cubes but unfortunately i forget those questions.

Technical Interview:  I got my interview schedule after four days in TCS Office Noida but lots of frends got dere schedule on the day of paper. So be prepared mentally for interview n yeah be well dressed it makes really a positive impact.

The interviewer was a beautiful lady the near about 28 years old.She welcomed me when i  entered in the room.My interview continued till 20mins.Imp Instruction if u r from Non cs background den u can say u don't have much idea about s/w field then they asked u about ur subjects but u have to impress him by  knowledge of ur field n give them assurance that u will do really good at a time of ur training.

* Tell me about ur self?(u have to tell about u n ur family background)* My strength n weakness.(Be prepared for this question).* About My final year project. (You have to tell whatever you done, its depend on. So whatever you speak be confident)* About summer training.(U have to specify about whatever u learn there they can ask u simple ques regarding training)* MY favourite subjects(I told DBMS, so she asked me about languages used in DBMS, Sql queries, and about normalization etc.) ( It's really simple beccause this is in your hand to tell a specific subject and they will ask you simple questions regarding your subject. It's not necessary to give answer of all questions if you don't know say confidently i don't know.)* She asked me About computer languages i said, i am comfortable in C and C++. So she asked me what is a different between C and C++, Oops concepts, Different between Static and final, write a program for palindrome. (Prepared for Some program Like (palindrome, Fibonacci, Recursion, Strings, Factorial etc.)* Generally they asked about your CV stuffs so make your CV according  to your comfort zone. May be they can ask something different from your CV but in that case you can easily say i have no idea. In my

case they asked about Unix commands.

Frankly speaking interview was so good because you have  need to show that you technically sounds better. So be prepared for the interview.After technical we called for MR(Managerial round)It was just a 7-8 min round.They can ask you technical or puzzles or about your hobbies anything. So don't worry for this round.

* The interviewer asked me about my hobbies, my family background.* He gave  me a puzzle like (a candle burns in 60min. Then how can two candles can burn in 90min. Ans we can burn a candle first n in 60 min this will burn completely den we will burn second one from both of end so it would take 90 min to burn both of candles.)* Then he suddenly changed the question and said now you have 45 min to burn both of candles and i couldn't do but he gave me 4 min to solve and insisted me luckily i got the right answer and i replied. we would burn first candle from both of end and at same time we would burn second candle from starting point so in 30 min the first one will burn completely and second will  burn half then we will burn second burning candle from another point also, So in this way both of candles will burn in 45min.* He asked me to write a simple C program to add two numbers and picked a questons like roll of void main(), getch(), and about some header files.

Guys if you are worry about puzzles then frankly speaking look for some basic puzzles of Shakuntla Devi. My be they can ask you puzzle.

HR Round:This round was just of 2-3 minutes.

* They asked me how was my Technical round.* Have i been placed in anywhere else(I replied yeah in infosys also, i don't know what impact of this would be on her)* Then she asked if i would been placed in infosys then why would i join TCS(i replied because of work culture and ethics in TCS)* At last she said me "Ok rahul we have done, you can go now".

So, HR round was just a formality. Guys frankly speaking this time TCS is hiring in bulk. So those who have been given all the rounds they all were selected but most important part is written test. So if you have cleared the written then your 90% job is done. Finally i got my confirmation letter via mail after a week.Guys feel free to write me and ask me if you have any doubt. You can mail me about bikerboy2923@rediffmail.com or rahuulagarwal@yahoo.com. Really it would be a pleasure to help you guys. Let's see what would i join Infosys or TCS. Waiting your mails With RegardsRahul.

Hi,I am Chandra Mohan Ravuri. I attended the TCS off campus at Sai Ram engg college at Chennai on 29th of August and got selected. I am uploading my experience so that it will be usefull for all job seekers in TCS.

The selection process consists of two rounds only.

1. Quantitative aptitude test: It is online test consists of thounds of questions among tehm you will be given 35 questions and the time limit is 1 hour. Each question carries 1 mark and wrong answer carries -0.33 marks.

2. Technical and HR interviews

Tips to crack aptitude :

1. Never Guess an answer . Attend only the questions you are reasonably certain of answering correctly . (I attended exactly 30 questions , Never guessed any question randomly.

2. If you dont get the answer in the first try or you get stuck up quickly skip the question . Come back to it later if you have time. ( I attended the first question skipped 8 questions before answering the next question).

3. Read the question fully once and find out what they are asking . Most of the time they give a lot of irrelevant data to confuse you. For example they may ask a problem on ages but may also give you data on blood relations (i have 2 brother and 2 sisters. You have to correctly deduce the fact that you only need information related to Age and the rest is irrelevant data .

4. Try not to panic at the sight of those long questions. Most problems are very simple which require you to do some logical thinking with a clear mind.

5. There will be certain questions which will be very simple but will have small twists .

6. Most questions asked have a fixed pattern. A friend of mine attended the interview on 21st (she too got selected). Most of the questions i got were similar to the ones she got with slight changes introduced (learn the logic dont mug up the answer) .

Some of the questions which I remembered are as given below.

1) If an old women's age is the same as her three grand daughters i, mean the number of days old child=the no of weeks old child=no of months old child. The total years of all these ppl is 114 years then how old is the old woman?

The year has 365 days and 30 days each month.

I calculated it with the options given try 2 use the calculator its easy. Don't remember the answer.

2) There was a piece of cloth which is 135 miles long and 35ft wide and some nonsense again then he wants to divide the cloth into pieces with one mile each if he took 7 secs for cutting  piece. What is the time taken for cutting the whole of the cloth into pieces?

135-1=134 x 7=938 secs.

3) A woman had somany gloves and hats 22 red,34 blue, 45 white there was power cut and she took a glove and how many gloves shud she take so that she gets a pair of glove fr each color?

Don't know the answer.

4) Problem on ((a3-b3)/(a2-ab-b2))=(a- don waste tym directly calculate it!

5) The bear problem..i put it as black.

6) Parateeka(Bird)

7) If a person climbed a hill which was 200 mtrs high. The average speed while climbing was 23 mph and while coming down was 30 mph. Then what is the average speed of his journey?

Use the formula (2xy)/(x+y)

8) If the are 2 containers of 1 ltr each. I had Pepsi and another water. If one spoon from Pepsi was taken and added in water and then frm the mixed container of water one spoon was taken and added in Pepsi..

So pepsi had more quantity of Pepsi than what water had in 2nd container.

9) If the area was hit by a virus and so the decrease in the population because of death was x/3 and the migration from other places increased a population by 2x then annually it had so many ppl. find our the population in the starting.

10) If the milk and water was added in 5:4 ratio then how much more water should be added so he gets the ratio of 6:7.(Not exact question but something like that)

11) A tank fills in the squence of 10, 20 ,40,80.... (means 10 litre in 1 hr, 20 litr i 2nd nd so). If at the 4th hour the tank is 1/4 full when will it be full?

Ans: x/4=80

That means capacity of tank is 320 litres. From the series we can see that in 5th hr it's 160 nd then in 6th hr it's 320 so answer is 6

12) 2 very simple questions on ages like if 3 years back i was 2 times of my friends age and so and so. If you know the basic concept you will be able to solve that.

13) There are only bicycles and 4-wheelers in the parking. If the total number of wheels are 240.

What can be the possible number of cycles?

Ans: 2x+ 4y= 240

See options ie the value of x from the options. Then check the value of y from eqn for each option. The value of x for which y is a integer would be the answer.

14) The cost of making robot is divided into cost of material, Cost of repairing nd cost of painting in the ratio of 5: 2: 3 the cost usd for material is 200. Find the total cost of making the robot?

Ans: 5x/10=200

So x=400 Ans.

15) If jack lies on Mon, Tue Wed and jill lies on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If both together tell they lied yesterday. So c the given options and then c cos in the given dates one will be saying the truth and one will be lying. I got Thursday as option because jack is saying the truth he lied yest but jill is lying again as he lies on that day.

16) Scientist starts from his base camp from North (my friend got North Pole) chases after a Bear etc.

Answer lies in the first sentence that says that Bear's Color changes according to the weather. As far as i know there are 2 kinds of bears. The Normal ones which are Black and the Polar Bears which are white. Polar Bears are present only in the North and South poles (Arctic and Antarctica). I chose white i am not sure if that was correct (if it was North Pole white is the correct answer)

17) Seamstress makes a cut on a piece of cloth in 3 secs. If she wants to cut the cloth into 11 pieces. How much time would it take. (My friend got the same question with different values)

Answer: To cut a piece of cloth into 11 pieces she has to make 10 cuts. so 10*3 = 30secs is the answer.

29) I don't remember exactly the question, one logical problem stating the colour of beer?

Ans: White.

30) There was a scientist who after doing research, found that color of skin of animals vary with change in distance. One day he started to chase a beer. He walked 1 mile towards north, then turned and walked 1 mile towards east and then caught the beer and radio-ribboned the beer. Then he left the beer at that spot and returned to his base-station taking a turn towards south (walked 1 mile towards south). Then what was the color of beer at that spot?

a)White  b)Brown  c)Black   d)Grey

31) Also a one question like color of bear? (obviously its black)

Ans. Black

32) The problem of BEAR is about identifying its color with regard to its Region whether it is from North or South or East or West. Because, The Bear's color will vary in different location and so they have mentioned this as distance. As far I know, North - White Bear ( Polar Bear )

East-Black Bear

South-Black Bear (Sometimes Grey too )

West-Brown Bear

33) In the class of 40 students, 30 speak Hindi and 20 speak English. What is the lowest possible number of students who speak both the languages?

4) 6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average age will be 43 and seventh person joined with them. hence the current average age has become 45. find the age of seventh person?

Solution: Here the question appear as an easy one, but carried a lot of unwanted sentences and unwanted datas (i dint mention above) in exam which may confuse you on solving technique.

5) Let x be current average age of first 6 persons in queue and current age of seventh person be y. Then 6x will become the sum of those 6 persons age. Now, let compute the sum of those 6 persons after two years, 6x+12 (as each and individual increase their age by 2). hence its average become (6x+12)/6 = 43 (give in question itself). So now we can compute x from above equation. (x = 41, 6x = 246). Let now we compute y, ((6x+y)/7) = 45, as we have value of x, compute y. 

Ans: 69

6) Horse started to chase dog as it relieved stable two hrs ago. And horse started to ran with average speed 22km/hr, horse crossed 10 mts road and two small pounds with depth 3m, and it crossed two small street with 200 mts length. After traveling 6 hrs, 2hrs after sunset it got dog. compute the speed of dog?

Ans: As we have speed and travel time of horse, we can get distance travelled by it.

Hence d = 22*6 = 132km,

Exactly this 132km was travelled by dog in 8 hours (as it started two hours earlier).

Hence speed of dog = 132/8 = 16.5km/hr

Ans: 16.5km/hr. 7) 3, 22 , 7, 45, 15, ? , 31

Solution: Here it appear simple, because it arranged in arranged in sequence manner, but the actual question was some what twist mentioning fibonacci series and more over question was in statements (no numbers). Hence first try to understand the question well. Here let group alternate terms 3,7,15,31 (3+4 =7, 7+8 =15, 15+16=31) Similarly for second group (22,45,? (22+23 = 45, 45+46 = 91) hence ans is 91.

8) In Tnagar many buildings were under residential category.for buildings they number as 1 to 100. For shops, corporation numbered between 150 and 200 only prime numbers. how many time 6 will appear in building numbering?

Ans:

For 1 to 10 - 1 six

2 to 20 - 1 six

Similarly upto 59 we utilise six, 5 times

from 60 to 69 (including 66) - 11 times

from 70 to 100 - 3, hence ans = 5+11+3 = 19

Ans:19.

In many questions there was lot of data given and it was very confusing so it is my advice to read it very carefully and judge quickly what they are asking. Just see last two lines first. Calculation easy then go through it otherwise skip it after last you calculate it. Just be active and have patience, try to answer each question you attempt correctly.

All the best! 

                               

Test Paper :27

 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences

 Test Date        : 7 September 2010

 Test Location  : Hyderabad

 Posted By        : Ravi

Hi Friends,

I attended TCS campus drive in Hyderabad. All these questions are being given with huge passage of irrelevant data. So, focus is needed while answering the question. This time he is not giving English in the written test doesn't mean that he is completely ignoring it. He is checking the comprehension reading ability of the candidate. So, fast reading of the passage and quickly picking the relevant information in no time is what he is looking for. So focus is must.

As fast you will read the passage you will do better. I am writing the simplified(i.e.,) summary of the questions, but it will not be in this way. The test is comprising of 35 questions. The best thing in this is you need not have to search for the questions whether you have answered them or not by scrolling. A window on righ side of the questions paper will display the status. The unanswered will  be in Red and answered will be in Green and this minimises the searching time.

 I remembered only these questions. I attempted 25 questions.

All the best friends. 

1) Two tanks A and B. A fills 1 ltr/1 hour B fills 10, 20, 30 per hour. If this is (passage unnecessary). If 1/4th tank of B takes 15 hours to fill how much it time will to take to fill complete tank? 

2) Out of 7 children the youngest is boy then find the probability that all the remaining children are boysAns: 1/2^6 = 1/64 3) The three sides of a triangle are given. 16, 14, 21 cms and this triangle is conveted into a square. So what will be the area of the square generated?Ans:(14+16+21)/4. Then you will get the 1 side of a square and now find the area of a square.ie, side^2

But when the result was announced i have cleared the aptitude and some of my friends who solved more question than me unfortunately not cleared the aptitude just because of they made some guesses so my suggestion is that please don't make any guess.

After that there is a form fill-up part, and next the my interview was held, truely speakng friends i could not sleep at that night and going to the interview hahahha.

Test Paper :30 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 29  August  2010   Test Location  : Vardhaman college,Hyderabad  Posted By        : Padmavathi

The written test consists of 35 questions.All questions are Aptitude questions. No verbal, no passages etc.Time : 1 hourThere is Negative marking: -0.33 for each wrong answerTimer will be displayed on the top right corner of the screenMost of the questions are lengthy.They are about 4 to 5 lines.But they are easy.

NOTE:  1. In lengthy questions first 1 to 3 lines used to be unnecessary time waste information, and the problem correctly starts from 3 or 4 th line.So, read the question fastly with in few seconds & try to know from where the question starts. 2. Among 35 some questions between 8 to 10 are given direct question without unnecessary matter.So, friends when u feel a question is lengthy or u can't solve it just leave it go to others (maybe be other questions r direct).3. I think it will be better to have a view of  all bits by half  an hour doing all known or easy bits because we can't  say where easiest bit will be because I saw 1 easy bit in last 20 sec and I was unable to attempt it.4. Take calculator with you to written exam ,they will allow it.It makes ur  work easier.

Coming to preparation for written test it is enough if go through examples and 1st exercises in R.S Aggarwal topics include ratio, average, age problems etc.

Never try to guess and answer. I have attempted 21 out of 35 no guess work  .

I got a mail that i cleared written exam.

Next Rounds: 1-9-10

Test Paper :31 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 26  August  2010   Test Location  : G L Bajaj Institute of Management and Technology  Posted By        : Prashant TTCS written call was the sole call which i got for appearing in any recruitment test during my whole enginnering and after i graduated in 2010, before this due to my lousy %age (62%) i never even got a call from any MNC to attend their test. But i guess my day came.

My aptitude test was on 22nd Aug, as i was very familiar with the test pattern so it pose no problem to me in doing the questions, the key is to quickly read the last few lines and deduce that if reading the whole question is required or not.

Some of the questions were wrong also, thats what i felt. I attempted 21 questions and i was very sure that they all would be correct.

As expected i cleared the aptitude test, the result was declared within 1 hour. All the selected students were asked to leave for the day and report on 26th August at 12 noon on the same venue.

I reached the college at 11:30 and then after filling some forms my turn for technical interview came at 4pm. The pannel i got was quite a chill guy. Lets call him Technical Round(TR).

Me: Good afternoon Sir! TR: Godd Afternoon, please sit down.Me: Thank you Sir TR: So prashant you are a Tewari with "E" instead of "I"Me: (smiling..) Yes, sir TR: Tell me abt yourselfMe: blah..blah.blah... TR: so u are doing software Testing course(mentioned in resume)Me: Yes Sir, i am almost finished with it.(THen he asked me the details about the course ,its fees, duration etc.)

TR: so u know C and Python(as i had mentioned it in my resume)Me: Yes sir i do know, but i am not proficient in programming languages.

TR: Ok, so tell me What is black box testing?Me: blah..

TR: How is white box Testing is diffrent from Black box testing?Me: (tld him abt every detail.)

TR: Have you done anytype of testing?Me: Yes sir,...black box testing....i am doing free lancing( told some of my software testing projects)

TR: Who make the test cases?Me: Sir.... Tester himself.

TR: What are Test cases?Me: blah..(he asked some more questions on testing but i didnt remember)

TR: When you find any bug what do you do ...i mean what does your report include?Me: (explained in detail as i was very comfortable in software testing)

TR: Good!!( he looked impressed) :)TR: Do you know anything about DB languages like Oracle etc.?

Me: No sir i have no idea at all!!( although i knew a little bit ...but i preferred to keep quiet)

TR: Dont you think doing testing without knowing any language....will become difficult?Me: Sir, i absolutely agree with you and i am looking forward to learn these languages after my course finishes next week.

TR: Good!!Me: Thank you sir( i was jumping in inside with joy)

TR: I think you are good ....prashant.... thats it for this round... u may leave now.Me: Thank you sir.

I was very happy with my performance and was very sure to get a call for the next round that was MR.My name was announced for the MR at 5:30 and i was asked to wait for some time.

After a long wait i again got called for the MR at around 10 pm. My MR round was a mix of Technical, MR, and HR questions. He asked a lot of questions ranging from software testing to my favourate topic( Data communication), then related to my project, about my hobbies. viz. What are different. types of testing? What is black box testing? What is a router? Difference between switch and router? Reading is your hobby...then which book are u reading nowadays? What this book is all about and whats your opinion? Which book u read last time, completely? What do u do to update yourself in technical advancements?and a lot of more questions.... my interview stretched to around 25 mins.

I answered all the questions confidently except a single question on flash card in a router...so i humbly said that i dnt have much idea abt internal parts of a router.

He was looking impressed lets say him MR.

MR: Prashant it was very nice talking to u ...any questions?Me: yes sir, i want to know that promotions in TCS in based upon experience or performance

MR: (explained upto 3 mins)

Me: Sir any suggestions for me to improve myself?

MR: Nothing special...just keep learning the way you are learning now...rest is good.Me: Thank you Sir.(...and then i left)

My Technical and MR rounds were just near to perfect not a single wrong answer.... i was surprised at the luck i was having on that day. After MR i was sure that i they(TCS) gonna select me, so i felt very relaxed.

A huge elimination was done like before, after the MR round.

Luckily i was called for the HR interviw after some time.....HR Interview was total formality he just explained me abt the bond and uncertainity of posting etc.Then he told me that i will get my result within 7 days.

After it i took a deep breath and relax... i knew that i have converted my call and my time has started. I reached home that night at 1:30 am ..bt it was worth waiting and exhausting myself.

On 30th at 7:30 in the evening as i opened my laptop and signed in my gtalk account ..an email popped out it was from TCS... i read the 2nd line it was written ....

Congratulations!!!!....

And rest as they say was history!!

All The Best Guys! Do your best and forget the rest!!

Some other questions:

1.6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average age will be 43 and seventh person joined with them. hence the current average age has become 45. find the age of seventh person?Ans: Let x be current average age of first 6 persons in queue and current age of seventh person be y. Then 6x will become the sum of those 6 persons age. Now, let compute the sum of those 6 persons after two years, 6x+12 (as each and individual increase their age by 2). hence its average become

(6x+12)/6 = 43

=>x+2=43

=>x=41

Hi friends,This is Divya, Tirupati. I'm from cse dept.I have atteneded TCS selection process conducted at Veltech, chennai on 22nd August.It had only 2 rounds.1. Written2. Technical & HR

You can clear the written test very easily. I think you all know that this test is an online test.There are 35 questions , 1hour time.There is negative marks for wrongly attempted questions. ie., you will loose 1 mark for 3 wrong questions.So attempt only the question which you are confident. Attempt >=20 questions you can crack written.Just go through the previous papers its enough. You will get same type of questions with just change in numbers

Time managemenet is very important. Dont stick to a questions if you didn't ge answers, skip it and go through other questions, you can come to it later

The questions I remember is1. Fibonacci series2. Probability3. Permutations    Form 5 digit numbers using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 with repetition and should be divisible by 4.Ans: For a number to be divisible by 4 the last two digits of a number should be divisible by 4So last two digits should contain only the numbers 12, 24, 32, 44, 52. So 5 ways the otehr 3 digits can be filled in 5X5X5 ways

So totally 5^4 ie., 6254. Probelm on ages. I got 2-3 questions form this part5. A question abt color of bear: white6. Question based on this formula x3-y3=(x-y)(x2+xy+y2)           (91^3-31^3)/(91^2+91*31+31^2)  ans:60  (a-b)7. 3 boys and 3 girls went to a picnic.they saw a weighing machine there.girls r nt interested to check their weight.so the boys  checks their weight in the following order.first a,then b,then c,then a&b,then b&c,then c&a,then a&b&c cheks their weight. the last reading is 120 kg (data can be changed in your ques paper).then what is the avg of the 7 readings?Ans:(a+b+c+(a+b)+(b+c)+(c+a)+(a+b+c))/7     4(a+b+c)/78. There r two tubs a&b.a filled in the pattern as 10 ltrs,20,30,40.......for evry hour b filled in the pattern as 10 ltrs,20,40,80.......for evry hour.if the b tub filled 1/16 part for 23 hours then in how hours it wil take to  fill half the tank ?Ans: B fills twice every hour     so 1/16---->23        1/8 ---->24        1/4 ---->25        1/2 ---->26 so ans 26hrs.9. The number is 2880.by which number we have to divide it in order to get a perfect sqare?Ans: 510. A question based on speed and distance11. A problem on ratios

A scientist at his research lab go 1 mile to north direction to study behaviour changes by bear. there he follow a bear towards east directionfor 1Km but has not radio collard it. Then he return to south direction by travelling 1 Km. What is the colour of bear.(Nothing is missing in this question). 1 Grey    2 White    3 Black     4 Yello Ans  White.There is no definite logic of this question, but because scientist go in north direction so its colour is white, because at the north pole bear are white. Q3: There are 10 reading spots in a room. Each reading spot has a round table. Each round table has 4 chair. If different no of persons are sitting at each reading spot. And if there are 10 persons inside the roomthen how many reading spots donot have atleast a single reader.(1)  5     (2)   6      (3)  7   (4)  None     Ans 6. because different no of persons are sitting on round table. So possible differnt combinations for 10 people will be 1 2 3 4. because max 4 people can sit on round table. so round tables left are 6.   Q4:Make a usual word by rearranging these alphabets tpreiki. What is this word. (1) City  (2) Bird  (3) Country  (4) Fruit  Ans. Bird. Its PERIKIT. somebody told me its perikit.

Test Paper :35 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 21  August  2010   Posted By        : Kapil Anand

Dear Boys/Girls,

I am Kapil Anand, I am a ECE student from Ajay Kuamr Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad, 2010 Batch. I was selected in the off-campus drive of TCS on 21-22 August (G.L.Bajaj, Great Noida) my interview is on 22th August at TCS office Noida.

Please if you really wants to crack TCS, Please go through it.

Paper Pattern:

The written test consists of 35 questions.

Calculators are allowed. Do not think you have to attempt 35 questions in 60 min, please make sure that you have do 20 questions in 60 min (all are correct). All questions are Aptitude questions. No Verbal, no passages, no antonym, no synonyms etc. No need to go through GRE barron.

Time:1 hourThere is Negative marking: -0.33 for each wrong answer. Timer will be displayed on the top right corner of the screen. Most of the questions are lengthy. They are about 4 to 5 lines. But they are easy. Only requirement is to be fast.

Syllabus: The computer based test had questions:

Area and Perimeter, Probability, Problems on Ages, Pipes and Cisterns, Ratio and Proportion some logical questions, blood relations, percentages, profit-loss, area, direction sense etc.

Rounds:

1) Written

2) Technical

3) HR

4) Managial round

* This round is basically depends upon interviewer because he has rights to ask any thing again Technical, HR, any puzzle.

* Mostly they ask you some question and judge wheather you are consistent or not to  your answer.Eg: First they ask wheather you are team player or not. If you said yes i am team player after that they move from track after some time they again ask if company assign you a work  and said if you complete this efficiently then you will get promotion and said wheather you want 2 do this work with your friends or alone, if you said alone, then you are gone because you said before that you are team player. etc

How to crack written test:

1)  Many of your friend says that if you want to clear the Aptitude Round, then you must attempt somewhere around 25 -28 questions to make it through. But this is not the case. What I figured out was that TCS is selecting candidates based on their accuracy. I attempted just 21 questions and still made it

through, because around 18 questions i answered were correct. I made less guess. I think is based on accuracy & atleast you have to do 17 questions in 60 mins. 

 2) Please do not guess or do not attempt if you are not sure about your answer. 3) Please do not try to cheat because question seem to be same in your neighbour computer but value in questions are change so option gets change. Memory based paper: I can memorize some of the questions of aptitude test, I am writing some of them questions  Aptitude test1.

Test Paper :36 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 28  August  2010   Test Location  : MEC, Rasipuram  Posted By        : Sathishkumar

I am sathishkumar. R from Muthayammal Engineering college. I didn't get any hall ticket from TCS to attend the off-campus drive at MEC, Rasipuram on 28 & 29th August. Because that was conducted by Board of Apprenticeship TamilNadu. There was a crowd of around 300-400 candidates in each batch. On 28th there was 6 batch. There was only less than 15 candidates only cleared the first round upto 3rd batch. But in my batch 19 candidates were cleared the written test. I was one of them. It was a online aptitude test contain 35 questions should be answered in 60 minutes. Because the page will automatically get expired after 60 mins. And your page will get logged out after some 4-5 mins in any questions. We faced 4 times this problem. So You have to answer as soon as possible in each question. The questions were based on logics and a aptitude only. There is no verbal questions asked for us. Some of them were aptitude and a few were analytical. The questions were like 10 to 12 lines. But actual question was from last 3 lines. So don't waste time for reading full question(only for aptitude, if all questions will be like that). In my batch the questions was same with my friends questions, but the values given in the problem and the answers were diffrered each other. So don't memorize the answers. All the candidates faced the time problem. So rush up. If don't find the answer go to next question immediately. For every correct answer = +1 markAnd Every wrong answer = -0.33 mark (so dont answer all question.answer only if you know the answer 100%) The computer based test had questions from:

Area and Perimeter, Probability (Many questions from this chapter only).Problems on Ages & trains(Many questions from this chapter).Pipes and Cisterns, Ratio and Proportion, permutation and combination and some logical questions The will be option button called clue in the page where you can avail the clue for all question and formula. But you have to choose which formula for which question.  The questions are pretty lengthy but with all irrelevant statements. I remember one question where they told about a romantic story of Alice and Paul and then right at the end after 5-6 lines, they came up with a question on ages of Alice and Paul. I'd rather suggest everyone to start reading the question from where they find any numerical data. I don't remember many questions but only a few (and that too not with exact numerical value). I'll share

with you a few questions such that you can understand what the question asked for. Question 1: There is a toy train that can make 10 musical sounds. It makes 2 musical sounds after being defective. What is the probability that same musical sound would be produced 5 times consecutively? (1 of )?Answer: 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/3232 will be the answer. (My friends got similar question with "3 times consecutively"; for that the answer would be 8) Question 2: Peter and Paul are two friends. The sum of their ages is 35 years. Peter is twice as old as Paul was when Peter was as old as Paul is now. What is the present age of Peter?Luckily, I had this question twice. Initially I left it because of the confusing statement but when I got the same question second time with different names of the friends (Pooja and Prasad) then I gave a little extra time and solved it.Answer: 20 years. I simply substituted the answers in the statement to find the best fit, because the statement in the question was pretty confusing. Question 3: The ages of two friends is in the ratio 6:5. The sum of their ages is 66.After how many years will the ages be in the ratio 8:7?Answer: 12 years. Question 4: (There was a long story, I'll cut short it). There are 5 materials to make a perfume: Lilac, Balsalmic, Lemon, Woody and Mimosaic. To make a perfume that is in demand the following conditions are to be followed: Lilac and Balsalmic go together. Woody and Mimosaic go together, Woody and Balsalmic never go together. Lemon can be added with any material. (Actually they had also mentioned how much amount of one can be added with how much quantity of the other; but that's not needed for the question.) All of the following combinations are possible to make a perfume except:1) Balsalmic and Lilac2) Woody and Lemon3) Mimosaic and Woody4) Mimosaic and LilacAnswer: Mimosaic and Lilac. I have made the question here really easy to understand. But the actual question was in a twisted language and it was difficult to find the answer. It took me some time to get to the answer. Question 5: A girl has to make pizza with different toppings. There are 8 different toppings. In how many ways can she make pizzas with 2 different toppings.Answer: 8 * 7 = 56 Question 6: A triangle is made from a rope. The sides of the triangle are 25 cm, 11 cm and 31 cm. What will be the area of the square made from the same rope?Answer: 280.5625 Question 7: What is the distance between the z-intercept from the x-intercept in the equation ax+by+cz+d=0. (I do not remember the values of a,b,c,d) Question 8: An athlete decides to run the same distance in 1/4th less time that she usually took. By how much percent will she have to increase her average speed?Answer: 33.33% Question 9: A horse chases a pony 3 hours after the pony runs. Horse takes 4 hours to reach the pony. If the average speed of the horse is 35 kmph, what s the average speed of the pony? (This question was really long with loads of irrelevant statement) Question 10: There is 7 friends (A1, A2, A3....A7). If A1 have to have shake with all with out repeat. How many hand shakes possible?(I dont know the exact question but like this only)Question 11:  There are two pipes A and B. If A filled 10 liters in a hour B can fills 20 liters in same time. Likewise B can fill 10, 20, 40, 80,160….if B filled in (1/16) th of a tank in 3 hours, how much time will it take to fill completely? Answer: 7 hoursQuestion 12: Keywords: Sports readers, 10 tables, 4chairs per table, each table has different number of people then how many tables will left without at least one person? Ans: 6

 These are a few questions that I could recall. I made through the aptitude round by attempting 25 questions. Next was HR Interview Round. There were so many panel in that Round. I got general HR round panel and cleared easily. They asked me every word in my resume. So guys please put anything what you know fully. Two of my batch mate got stress interview and full technical HR. So be prepared for any thing. There were 2600 candidates appeared for the interview. 66 were cleared the written test and finally 52 candidates got on spot offer letter. Thank god. Myself also one them. So don't worry about HR round prepare focused on written. Because all the HR were so friendly. Keep smile through out the interview. don't get tensed for anything. Good Luck guys.Meet you in TCS.   If you guys need any help contact me: rsathishhari@gmail.com                                  

Test Paper :37 Paper Type     : Candidate Experiences  Test Date        : 22  August  2010   Test Location  : Techno India College,Salt Lake,Kolkata  Posted By        : Anustup RoyHi guys, This is Anustup. I have recently cracked TCS when it was conducting a off-campus drive in Techno India, Kolkata. I was ill from a week. But I knew that if chances fly from your hand, then you have nothing to do but to sit and repent or to hope for the next one.On the 1st day was da aptitude test.It started at 3pm.TCS has changed its pattern of aptitude tests. It now gives 35 questions which you have to solve in 60 mins. A unquestion DT no was given by them. The most important thing about TCS papers is that in each question, there are a lot of lines which bear no relevance to the question. Suppose, there is a questions

1) A man bought 26 kgs of rice on the 1st day. On the 2nd day, his son comes home. His son is 15 years old. He bought 2 kgs of rice for his father. Next day, the son fell ill. He went to the doctor. The doc gave him a lot of medicines. The total cost of the medicines was Rs.260. The father became anxious of the son's health. He went to vellore with his son. The train fare of each person was Rs.300. Now, the speed of the train during the visit was 120 km/hr. After 2 days, they came back. The speed of the train was now 130 km/hr. Then wants the average speed of the train?

Hope, you have understood the pattern of the questions. The real information lies in the last few lines.the questions were very easy. Only you should know few formulae on probability, prmutation and combination etc. Theere were a number of problms on ages. You must do them 1st as they are very easy. Also keep in mind the time factor as many of our friends couldn't attempt all the questions. Skip to the next question if you can't do it. Also, calculators were allowed this time. So i used it, to solve a couple of questions. Don't panic. Just go on solving the questions. I could solve 21 questions out of 35.

The results were declared at around 6 pm. I was very happy to hear my name being called. Then we were told to fill up sum forms. The next day was the interview.

I reached the venue at 11 am. The interview started at 12. I was told to go to a panel where there were two persons seating.

After about 1 week, the confirmation mail from TCS came and i was overjoyed to see the mail.

Guys, always believe that confidence and being truthful is the key to success. Have faith in yourself and you will be the winner.See you guys in TCS.

 Test Location  : REVA college,Bangalore

 Posted By        : DINESH

Total there is three round(there could be one additional round ie,MR)1.Aptitude(only tricky questions no english)35 questions in 60 min2.Technical round3.HR              Aptitude questions were lengthy but quite easy. Most of important part are in begining and in last. Rest is story kind of. But questions are pretty easy  and what questions are available in recent time are enough. Beacause concept will be same only number or name will vary. Time is only constrain. So read within 15 second if you got clue then solve it else solved at last if you have time. I forgot exact questions but what i know could help you. Questions are like in this pattern

1. There is ferarri and benz car, benz speed is say 10kmph and it cover 10 km.And if ferarri goes with 3 times faster than benz.So in how much time ferarri could take to cover same distance. sol: as speed of ferarri is 3*10=30 so time will be 10/30

2. If one lady have 3 daughter and any of out 3 have diff, of ages is 3.And  oldest is 3 times of more than 2 than yougest after 2 years then tell the age of oldest daughter.Solution: let x is youngest ,y middle ,z oldest. so y-x=3,  z-y=3, and z=2=2(x+2) and put the option  answer  try to get condition.(sorry i forgot option but pattern ll be same)

3.One question like that ,there is fabonaci series and you have to find one number ..clue-it based on series

4.area of trapezium?

5.if a person moves 15km straight and turns 45km right and moves 15km straight then how much distance he needs to walk to reach starting point?6.if pqrstu implies qrstuv then abcdefg implies what?7.if there are 30 cans out of them one is poisoned if a person tastes very little he will die within 14 hours so if there are mice to test and 24 hours ,how many mices are required to find the poisoned can?.if atlantic  is found in atlantic ocean ,india is found in indian ocean then which of the following cases are true8.if a and b are mixed in 3:5 ration and b,c are mixed in 8:5 ration if the final mixture is 35 litres,find the amount { a/b=3*8/5*8  and   b/c=8*5/5*5   a/b/c=24:40:25  ans=40*35/(24+40+35)=1400/89

Ans=15.79}of b in the final mixture9.1!+2!+....50!=3*10^64?

and the rest are like passage questions ,be sure to find the answer as soon as possible within 15 seconds,if you are not able to do in 15 seconds then skip it and give a try at last.

 

10. There was a scientist who after doing research , found that color of skin of animals

vary with change in distance.One day he started to chase a beer .He walked 1 mile

towards north , then turned and walked 1 mile towards east and then caught the beer and

radio-ribboned the beerThen he left the beer at that spot and returned to his base-station taking a turn towards

south (walked 1 mile towards south).Then what was the color of beer at that spot?

11.) 6 persons standing in queue with different age group, after two years their average age will be 43 and seventh person joined with them. hence the current average age has become 45. find the age of seventh person?

Solution: Here the question appear as an easy one, but carried a lot of unwanted sentences and unwanted datas(i dint mention above) in exam which may confuse u on solving technique.

Let x be current average age of first 6 persons in queue and current age of seventh person be y.  Then 6x will become the sum of those 6 persons age.

Now, let compute the sum of those 6 persons after two years, 6x+12 (as each and individual increase their age by 2). hence its average become (6x+12)/6 = 43 (give in question itself).

So now we can compute x from above equation. (x = 41, 6x = 246)

Let now we compute y, ((6x+y)/7) = 45, as we have value of x, compute y.

Ans: 69

12) Horse started to chase dog as it relieved stable two hrs ago. And horse started to ran with average speed 22km/hr, horse crossed 10 mts road and two small pounds with depth 3m, and it crossed two small street with 200 mts length. After traveling 6 hrs, 2hrs after sunset it got dog. compute the speed of dog?

Ans: As we have speed and travel time of horse, we can get distance travelled by it...  

Hence d = 22*6 = 132km,

Exactly this 132km was travelled by dog in 8 hours (as it started two hours earlier).

Hence speed of dog = 132/8 = 16.5km/hr

Ans:16.5km/hr.

13) 3, 22 , 7, 45, 15, ? , 31

Solution: Here it appear simple, because it arranged in arranged in sequence manner, but the actual question was some what twist mentioning fibonacci series and more over question was in statements (no numbers).. hence first try to understand the question well.

here let group alternate terms 3,7,15,31 (3+4 =7, 7+8 =15, 15+16=31)

Similarly for second group (22,45,? (22+23 = 45, 45+46 = 91) hence ans is 91.

14) In Tnagar many buildings were under residential category.for buildings they number as 1 to 100. For shops, corporation numbered between 150 and 200 only prime numbers. how many time 6 will appear in building numbering?

Ans:

For 1 to 10 - 1 six    2 to 20 - 1 sixSimilarly upto 59 we utilise six, 5 times

from 60 to 69 (including 66) - 11 times

from 70 to 100 - 3, hence ans = 5+11+3 = 19

Ans:19.

13)((4x+3y)+(5x+9y))/(5x+5y) = ? as (x/2y) = 2

Ans: 2(simple algebra, i think u no need of explanation)

15) If we subract a number with y, we get 4 increase of number, once it got divided by y itself.. Find that number??

Ans: 12 (we can easily predict from options, as we take y as 6)

16) Jumbled letters, parakeet(answer)Ans: bird(category)

17) one question like. (209*144)^2 + (209*209)+(209*144)+(144*144) = ?Ans: here you can use calc, many(4 to 5) questions were depend upon calc alone.(no need problem solving technique).

18) Im only son for my parents. (some irrelevant statements in the middle to distract u).The man in picture is my father's son.(some irrelevant statements).who is he?Ans: he himself(blood relation type of question).ans .his son

   Finally the result came out at 9.30 in the evening, out of 4.5k students only 200(approximatly) were selected, fortunately i was one of them & i became TCSIAN.

Some suggestionsAll the question are easy, betweem in every question there are unnecessary data. Don’t confused

with that. First read the question, then make rough calculation. Try to solve as many as possible. Questions are very easy, so don’t recalculate that. The 1st question are very very big. So start from question number 20(I've started). Finish upto 35 in 30 mins & it is possible(I have done 12). After that shift to question no.10 finish that in upto 20 in 15 mins(if any problem confuses a you leave that & you can solve atleast 7 problems in 15 mins , I have done). After that start from 1& move unwards. In this way you can answer upto 24-25,take a calcuter it is allowed  question. Be confident. My suggestion please don’t guesss there is negative marking. you can solve the problems.

Please go with calculater & I was not sure, but I think the question are same for all the students. The interview is very very easy. The panel wars very friendly. As I am suggesting to you, one of my friend sonalisa also suggested me prior to the interview & that helped me a lot in getting through  the written, so a very special thanks to my friend sonalisa & the panel of interviewer who selected me. I hope my suggestion will help you All the best!

                 d) Wednesday

clue: you may think or asses that there is no such day that both of them never lie on same day.But the fact  is that one of the options will only suits as answer such that one of the two lie on that day.

 I remember only some of these questions.also prepare the following topics:

Ages,percentages,numbers,simplification,profit and loss,time and work,time and distance etc..

 

The best way to crack the test is be cool and think logically before you answer the questions.Never try to guess the answers. Answer only those which you are 200% confident.try to answer around 22-24 and I hope any one who does the calculations can answer 25 at a max.

Finally I request you guys …never guess the answers mark those which you are confident because it lost only due to that . the cut off may be around 18 – 20.

I am not selected in first round i think they expect above 85 percentage accracy(that mean u attend 20 ques u want to score atleast 18)so dont tic all the questions... do only known questions ..

the time is not sufficient to read all questions,just u go to last two lines of the question ...u can easily find ans...In my test time i have fear so only i cant concentrate on my questions...and i done 17 ques(i think)correct then i tic 16 ques but the ans r not confirm..

i am not selected..

 

Result within half an hour you selected mean you got the result quickly else.

Then HR round very very easy round..

They want=(clear in apps+50% tech skills+90%confident)

so be confident and cool..

All guys r getting same questions with different no. so ask your friends and collect the answers and do the exam well with confident(u want to get more then 85% accuracy)...(the results may be -ve u dont worry u got some experience)

Thank You..
