TCS Campus Drive 2013 Batch: My Experience

Tips: Do not try to fool the interviewer if you don't know the answer simply say "Sir, I haven't prepared could you please ask me from these topics". It doesn't gives a bad impact but in this case be ready for high level of questions on the topics you mention.

e.g In my interview he asked me any experience with database I said have done some SQL queries but in his assessment form he mentioned DBMS and started asking me questions from DBMS, I tried my level best to answer as many questions as I could but then I said "Sir in DBMS I have done SQL queries only", no problem he said but then the query he gave was not the normal SELECT or UPDATE query, he asked me to write the query for INNER JOIN. Same happened with me in C and JAVA, I frankly told him I'm much comfortable with C as I studied CORE JAVA in my first year of B.Tech.

MR Interview: This interview was completely focused on the summer industrial training, they expect you to speak about your project as much as you can, I explained my project for about 20 mins (I told him the things which were not implemented in my project). Be ready for the common question in MR round i.e What are your strength and what are your weakness ?

Tips: Be loud and clear and confident about your project, this interview tests how much you can speak, he will ask you to start your project and will not ask you to stop, explain him as much as you can.

HR Interview: This was the easiest of all, I would mention here that HRs from TCS are very sweet, they are polite while talking and never stress you. A female took my HR interview and she was very sweet, I don't know I impressed her or not but she surely impressed me, firstly she made me feel relaxed then our interview started. You must have a long intro ready for yourself. Learn TCS values, mission, goals, vision and all the things mentioned about them on recent news. Try to gather knowledge about TCS as much as you can.

Tips: Always have an eye contact, match up to the pitch of the interviewer. Few general questions include, your strength, are you adaptable, ready to work on different locations. This will be the easiest one trust me.

At the starting I thought my technical will be the best and HR will be so so, but it went totally opposite. Finally got selected feels good I'm a TCSer now. Hope this helps you. Best of luck.
