TCS PAPER ON 27th FEBRUARY AT KOLKATA
HI Guys This is MANSOOR student of Electronics & Communication from Guru Nanak Institute Of
Tech ……….TCS came to our campus on 27/02/08….. I know u don’t wanna know who I m…So Let
me come straight to the point…..
The paper was divided into 3 sections…
1) ENGLISH,
2) QUANTITUDE,
3) LOGICAL REASONING -Puzzle part…..
It was an online test so u didn’t have the choice to choose a part in which u r comfortable in,u have to
start with English, then Quant and then Puzzle….
For ENGLISH see the ANTONYM given in (Barron's Gre (12th edition) Chapter-6 Antonym
Exercise) some of the words I can remember are 1) GAUCHE- lacking social polish,
2)DISCREETNESS- prudence, 3)CHURLISH- rude
There were also couple of passages(where u have to fill the missing sentences) which were a bit tricky
so I will advice u guys to solve that first and den come to Synonyms and Antonyms (which are 10 each
in total)
For QUANT some of them were quite easy such as
1) Interchange “MEASUREMENTS” the first with 2nd letter, 3rd with 4th and so on., and den get the
12th letter from right
Ans :) E
2) There was a table where for certain values of X., there were some values of Y…
Ans :) y=log(x)
3) How many zeros are there in 100!
Ans ;) 24(get LCM of 100 and add the no.’s)
4) the sides are given which triangle is not possible……..
(A) (2,3,6) (B) (3,2,4) (C) (3,4,5) (D) (3,3,3) (E) (5,3,5)
Some other Q’s were:
5) Select the odd one out
a. Oracle b. Linux c. Ingressd. DB2
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->
6) Select the odd one out
a. SMTP b. WAP c. SAPd. ARP

7) Select the odd man out.

a. Java b. Lisp c. Smalltalkd. Eiffel
Some of the other questions were exactly of the same pattern like previous years papers (Data’s are
changed of course)…
Say it finding the no.’s from one base to another as in NUMBER SYSTEM, STANDARD
DEVIATION, PROFIT AND LOSS, PERCENTAGE, PROBABLITY, TIME AND WORK,
NUMBERS, AVERAGE.AGES, RATIO AND PROPORTION, ALLIGATION OR MIXTURE,
SIMPLE INTEREST, COMPOUND INTERSET, PERMUTATION & COMBINATION etc
For PUZZLE part it was exactly from Barron's Model Test papers (Data’s not changed)..it was
basically from model test papers.
Model test 1- Section 5: 1-4, 5-6, 8-12, 13-16, Section 6: 8-11, 12-18, 19-22
Model test 2-Section 1: 1-4, 12-18, 19-22, Section 6: 8-12, 13-16, 24-25
Model test 4- Section 5: 8-11, Section 6: 8-12
Model test 5- Section 3: 1-4, 8-11, 23-25, Section 7: 1-5, 6-9, 16-20, 21-25
When I cleared my aptitude I was quite relieved
Then I went for my interview at around 8.00pm HR and TECHNICAL was taken together…first of all I
was made to wait for around 7 min outside the room which was quite nerve wrecking and then it started
Me:) Good Evening Sir
Interviewer) Nodded and asked me to sit
Interviewer) Tell me about urself
Me) Told with poised…
Interviewer) asked me about my favourite subject
Me) Digital Electronics
Interviewer) OK tell me the diff between a digital and analog signal
Me) explained with diagrams
Interviewer) What is the discrete value of a digital system
Me) 0 and 1 Sir
Interviewer) OK tell me where u do u see yourself in next five years
Me) Told
Interviewer) what kinds of transistors are there
Me) about to say but another sir came in and interrupted me and den he asked
Interviewer) What do you mean by AM and FM
Me) Explained
Interviewer) have u seen a radio and how we have to tune it…what exactly happens:
Me) explained with élan
Interviewer) Do you know about Mobile Communication
Me) A bit sir… but not in details as I will study this in the next semester
Interviewer) Do you know HLR or something
Me) I didn’t understand as it was from Mobile Communication but I told him about CDMA technique
coding, PCM etc So he got impressed and asked me
Interviewer) OK u know ur subject lets go into programming language… Which language u know ?
Me) C
Interviewer) OK what is meant by local, global, static variable, what is static global variable
(everything abt storage class)
Me) explained thoroughly
Interviewer) Do u know pointers
Me) Yes sir
Interviewer) Take two pointers string and concatenate them
Me) I did it with strcat()
Interviewer) very smart
Interviewer) Do it without using functions
Me) I tried.. but couldn’t get it
Interviewer) then asked me to declare integer and assign an integer pointer and then print the post
increment of it and get the output
Me) done
Interviewer) do you why have we asked u to fill the languages column
Me) said because of some preferences and topographical restrains…
Interviewer) was satisfied and ……….shook hands
When the result was declared I felt like floating in the sky… it was an out of this world kind of feeling
My advice will be to all aspirants is that back ur knowledge…ur ability and belief in urself…try to get
the first few lines in the interview to be perfect and rest u will sail through….
NOTE: For Non CSE students my advice is to know ur core subjects properly and hav only sound
knowledge of C, data structures etc.
Hope to meet in TCS…….Have a nice day
Regards

needs a support of ur LUCK.

3. Basic concepts of every topic should b very clear.
4. Whatever the terms u will use in ur intrvw u should hv full cnfdnt on it.
5. Answers should be compact and relevant. Never try to pretend. Be smart and honest.

My Technical & HR was combined, as i m from Electronics & Communication department so i
prepared two of my subjects firstly Digital electronics and the second one as Tele communication. In
computer field i did C & Data Structure only.
Then i was called...............
I opened the door and took permission to come in..............

ME> Sir, may i come in?

TCS PAPER ON 28th FEBRUARY AT RADAUR

Hi, I am Sakshi Kohli from JMIT, Radaur (3rd yr Instrumentation & Control).TCS visited our campus
on 28-29 feb 2008.I wud like 2 share my experience wid u.There were around 450 students out of
which 57 were selected . 290 had cleared the written test by
God’s grace I was one them. There are four rounds :

1.WRITTEN TEST-

This was an online test 90 questions ,90 minutes. The test comprised of three sections in the online test
you have to go in serial order for three sections. Within the section you may revert back to any question
within that section. Time is limited for each section.

SECTION A – verbal section 32 questions,20 minutes. 10 antonyms 10 synonyms, 1 sentence

complition , 1 read comprehension . it is very difficult to manage time in this section. Prepare GRE
barrons high frequency word list (330 words) for this section from 12th addition.Also words given in
five model test papers you may not be able to score much in this section .
SECTION B- Quantitative aptitude
Q-1 In a two dimensional array X(9,7) ) with each element occupying 8 bytes of memory with the first

This section is very simple if u hv prepared previous papers properly.These are availiable on dis
site.Almost all questions are 4m previous papers.The figures may be changed.Do data interpretation 4m
r.s.aggarwal (quant), venn diagrams 4m r.s.aggarwal (verbal, non-verbal).

SECTION C-CRITICAL REASONING

Prepare all 5 model test papers 4m GRE-Barrons (strictly 12th edition) critical reasoning
part.Questions are cut, copy,paste 4m dere.prepare dis part very well.its MUST.

NOTE: WITHOUT GRE-BARRONS (12th EDITION) ITS VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO CLEAR
THE WRITTEN TEST.

2.TECHNICAL (T.R.):To I&C students its my suggestion prepare atleast 1 subject really well.I
prepared micro processors.They asked me to explain 8085 block diagram and also abt programming
while performing practicals. Prepare C and C++ as per ur resume.they asked me differences between C
and C++. Also I was asked to write a program on factorial.

3.H.R.:Here situations were given to me like on customer satisfaction.Basically they are checking ur
confidence.why TCS ? why TCS should hire you? Strengths, weakness.

FEW POINTS:

1. Prepare ur resume wid utmost care.

2. Refer to papers on this site .These are really very beneficial.

3. Greet them well when u go for inter-view.
