hi all !I made it to TCS.I have been offered the position of Asst. System Engineer -trainee...The pay is 15000.I will be undergoing a training for 2- 3 months in trivandrum and then it seems they will place me in mumbai/blore/chennai.ok Frenz....apart from the fact that i made it to TCS this mail is intended to have another purpose....I just wanted all of u to know that TCS is not beyond our reach...The receipes to get there is just confidence and communication!!!here are some tips and my experience..to get the call letter u will have to submit ur hard copy resume in one of the TCS offices..In blore u can submit in TCS,ITPL,white Field.I had four rounds of selection..The first one is written test..I gave my written test on 5th of sep!It had four sections:Aptitude:A good knowledge of agarwal should be enough..Verbal: synonymns-This was pretty tough...but browsing the previous papers will see u thru this.Critical Reasoning: This is the crucial section which has more than 80 qns...they will give a para and u will have to answer the qn reg the para and give one of the answers yes/no/cant say.It was bit confusing..so concentration is important.psychometric: they ask u about more than 80 personal qns and the key to see this off is by being consistent in your answers...it seems 20 of them were disqualified bcoz of wrong answering in this section...note:i got the old pattern but they also have a new pattern...
The next round is technical interview...they ask qns from ur fav sub,project,c,c++,ds,os concepts,micro processor,n/w..just sound confident of ur answer...and tell ur fav sub as something in which u r really thorough!!!for me i was asked to explain micro proc pgm and os concepts....they ask personal qns in tech interview itself...
The next round is Hr interview..its very coool.dont enter this interview without browsing TCS website..some qns are...how do frenz desc u?strength,weakness..wat kind of job u want?then lots of qns ab TCSvision,mission of TCS etcTCS was on news recently...do u know etc
The final interview is management interview..here they give a lot of situations and ask how we wud tackle..for eg..conflicting situation,Why TCS(imp qn asked in all interviews),each interview lasted for ab 40 min....but they can all be cleared if u sound confident....
so guys TCS is within reach...go get it!!!all the best to ppl who havent got a job....dont lose hope,u can make it to TCS..they r still recruiting ppl.
Then thanx to chetna for the wonderful job...its been a source of promising hope for freshers...three cheers to the ppl who made this possible.....

PSYCHOMETRY GROUPINGI have grouped the psychometric questions numbering 150. as it is not possible for me to write each question I am indicating only the numbers. Its up to u to correspond to the questionsAt the outset I would like to clearly state that this version has no guarantee to be the correct version. Actually some 30/150 questions fall in to many groups and the line differentiating them is very thin. I have tried my best to group them.Talking about the groups- they are 11 in number. As I have mentioned- this is not the only correct version- but this can be one. So if u feel u can group them more finer u can subdivide them in to many more.I would advise u strictly to go through the whole set of groups and define urselves- the key to psychometric test is to define who u are and then start looking in to deeply the questions.Each group represents a character or personality- u will decide which of the following attributes u would like to include in ur personality.GROUP 1 LEADERSHIP QUALITIES2 3 28 39 53 73 103 128GROUP 2 SOCIABLE NATURE9 13 14 24 29 44 49 54 59 64 70 74 79 88 89 109 114 119 139 GROUP 3 BALANCED PSYCHE people who are balanced- not wavery in their moods etc.. etc…10 15 16 35 40 41 45 52 55 60 65 75 80 95 105 130 145 148 GROUP 4 DAYDREAMERS50 100 107 125GROUP 5 PATIENCE AND ATTRIBUTE OF TAKING RID=GHT DECISIONS AFTER CAREFUL ANALYSIS22 27 47 67 72 86 92 96 102 112 117 126 134 136 137 140 142 147
GROUP 6 EASYGOING AND CAREFREE NATURED PERSONALITIES20 25 32 57 68 77 82 87 90 98 115 123 127 132 135 150GROUP 7 ENTHUSIASTIC PERSONALITIES17 42 66 78 85 99 110 141 144GROUP 8 SLOW SLUGGISH DULL PERSONALITIES11 21 30 31 36 46 51 56 61 76 81 91 106 116 101 146GROUP 9 SERIOUS PERSONALITIES12 26 37 62 97 111 120 124 143GROUP 10 STRONG FULL OF ENERGY121 122 131GROUP 11 DIFFIDANT (shy, not able to ask even the most required thing….. etc..)18 19 23 33 34 38 43(34) 48 58 63(34) 69 83 84(38) 93 104(34) 108 113 118(34) 129 133 149 read the following before proceeding
the last group is bigger and within the group itself a small subgrouping is done- the no. in the bracket is the parent question to which the no outside the bracket belongs to- hope u understand strictly- this may not be 100 % right as many questions look very similar. So go thru and make alterations if u feel so. in each groups there r 2 kinds of questions- if u say yes to some and no to others u will land up at the same definition. So its ur common sense to understand the affirmative and negative tones of each question and answer accordingly- u shld know when to answer no and yes for each question in the same group- some groups itself are opposite to each other and can be grouped together- but I have separated them on the basis of finer inferences eg:- serious persons cant be easy going type. if u say no to any question on serious group question u will land as an easygoing personality and vice versa- so they can be put under a single group- but some finer points prevent from doing soALL THE BEST

Hi,
This is about TCS campus recruitment 2003 at ICSE, Indore.Selection Procedure contains 5 rounds:1. Screening2. Aptitude test + Psychometric test3. HR + tech. Interview4. Mgmt. Interview5. Medical ExaminationEach round is eliminatory, even Psychometric if you are really worth nothing.
Screening criteria is: 65% in qualifying degree 60% in other classes
If you satisfy the above criteria, you'll be allowed to appear for the online aptitude test.
Aptitude test contains three sections: Verbal English 32 Q. 20 mins. Quantitative 50 Q. 40 mins. Critical Reasoning 3 Para, 4Q. each 30 mins.
The test'll coducted using a oracle based n/w software Qubex.It contains many thousand questions, so old papers won't help much. However, it is not true for Quantitative section.It will begin with a sample test of 5 mins. duration. Each Question has 5 options, 1 is correct, No negative marking (i.e., no penalty for guessing).Each section will appear one by one & will end automatically when time finishes. Even if you save time on some section u can't use it some other section. Time limit for each section is exclusive. Also, you can't revert back to any section once you leave it.
The software can be set to some cut-off score level. If you score above cut-off, you'll immediately see Psychometric test on your screen.It contains 150 Q. to be answered in 30 mins. Each question has 3 options: Yes, No, Can't say.Ques. are essentially the same as you'll find in any old paper.
Now, My troble starts...
I was selected for interview. I'm giving details below...I request group members & specially Suri sir to read the following carefully.Plz. Mail me ur suggestions at <[email protected]>
There were 5-6 Interview panels.When, I entered the interview room, both(they were two) the
interviewers were in good mood, me too.(Unfortunately, we didn't end up the same...)
First, they asked me- WHY TCS?I told them what good image of TCS i've in my mind: They are largest employers, they provide job satisfection, they have high retention rate.They, asked me to tell them something about myself?I told about my family background, education, & my interest in Puzzles.I also told them about my being a nominated member of International High IQ society (highiqsociety.org).They asked me- have I tried for mensa.I told them- I would love to, but its Indian chapter hasn't updated their website for a long time. I don't know when the next test is scheduled.Then they gave me some puzzles to solve, It was fun. I wasn't able to solve the first. But, next 3 I answered correctly. When asked I explained it to them.
They were very much delighted. The guy who was asking the ques. left the room for making some arrangements.
The other guy asked me about the language that I like.I told - "I'm an expert in C". (I've reasons to say so, I can even Prove my expertise.)He asked me- what operations can be performed on pointers.I said- normal referencing, dereferencing, & normal arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, increment, decrement.The i said- using dereferencing operator one can perform all the operations allowed on referenced variables, using pointers.But he said- can u divide pointers?I said- no.He said- then why did you say so? You are contradicting urself.I don't know when did I...He asked me- do you know something about call by value & call by reference?I said yes.He asked me to tell the differnce.i said- If you use call by value, you create a copy of original object/var. & all the operations performed modifies only the copy. Original object remains unchanged.But, If you use call by reference, a reference is created instead of a copy, & all the operations are reflected in original object.He asked- so if you want to change the value, would you use a function or a procedure?I said - a procedure.He asked me- why?I said- convetionally, function is used when we wan't to return a value such as a status info. or result of any operation.Then I said- since a procedure does not return any value to point of reference (where it was called) only the referenced values are manipulated.
He said- Now, you are saying that procedure doesn't return a value so u r contradicting urself for ur using procedure to change a value.I said- no, a function is used when we want to return a value to point of reference, It can return only a single value. & original vals. are not modified unlessthey use the return value of the function (i.e., by appearing on the L.H.S. of an assignment including a function call.)He asked- what does a function returns?I said- any return value, that we want it return. Like result of an operation.He asked- explain. Like if you want to add two values, then what would the function return?I said- ok, if you are using a function sum like (i wrote it on a paper)int sum (int a, int b){ return a+b;}
& calling the function like
c = sum(a,b);
then the function sum will return the value of operation a+b to c.
he said- Wrong. you don't know anything. A function raises an error that's called its return value.Then he asked - have you raised any error, have you used raise statement?I said - noHe said - do you know we can handle the exception?I said - yes i know about exception handling.Then he said- so what we do in exception handling is that we catch the errors & raise the error conditions, this is the return value of a function.This is the difference betwen procedure & function. Procedure doesn't raises any error, function does.I said- you are talking about the ERRORLEVEL that is set by the function before exiting.He said- no this is a status value. This is the return value of a function. This is what a function returns.
Now, I came to know he was talking in the context of how procedures are handled by OS.
Then he said- now what you have to say about ur knowledge of C?I said - I'm still an expert in C.He said- You were not able to tell even such a small thing.You even don't know what a fuction returns?I said- I know, but, I was replying in a different context.
He got annoyed.The first guy reentered now-
He told me about 3 yrs. bond & neccessary relocation.I said- it is reasonable & i'm ready for it.Then, he asked me if I want to ask some questions?I said -yesThen I asked about their local client base & its cotribution in their total revenue.I was curious about it but didn't get a chance to ask the same in PPT, so I asked it here.He told me- we don't know exactly, but it is around 20% of total revenue.Then I asked- If i get into TCS at entry level, then what kind of resposibilities am i supposed to bear.He told me about their training program & how one gets promoted to higher levels.The I asked if they have any particular model for their projects or do they follow any particular modelThe second guy (who was already annoyed), was very angry. His voice was rude.He said- Is this the right place to ask such questions? You should not ask such questions. Why are u asking such questions?I said- I'm just curious to know.He chilled a bit - No we don't have any particular model, whatever model we follow approach remains the same more or less.We put emphasis on quality, so rigorous QA is done at each level. We are CMM level5 company.Then he asked- Do you know what is CMM?I told it- It is Capability Maturity ModelHe said- good.
That's how we ended.
After the interview i was asked to go upstairs, when i reached there. A guy came to me & asked me to follow him back downstairs.There they asked me to appear for an interview again, this time with a different panel.I started feeling uneasy. Well, why am I being reinterviewed, when no one else is.
When the new panel asked me how was the previous interview, how were the interviewers, were the question relevent?I replied positively but now i was feeling more uncomfort.when they asked the next question about my strength, I told them what's is going on in my mind instead.They asked me is it my strength, i said know that's what i'm feeling.Then they told me i'm not being reinterviewed, it's a fresh interview. They asked me to relax a bit.Then they repeated the question. I tried a lot, but still being in discomfort, i hardly answered the question.
I told them i've clear views towards life.They asked me to explain.I said - that means i am always clear about what i've to do next.They asked- so what do you want to do next?
I said- I am looking for a good job that can provide me job satisfection, & enable me to provide some financial support to my family.They asked- we don't operate in indore, we don't operate in mp. you'll need to move. I said - that's ok with me.They asked - then what about ur family?remember we may have to post you in Jammu or any far place.You'll not meet ur family for atleast 3 yrs. or may be 5 or 10 yrs.I said - They don't have any objection on my relocation. They just want me to become self-dependent.They asked- & what if 3 yrs. later they say we've selected a nice girl in indore, working in an equally good company at equallygood position in Indore. What will you do then?I said- I've not thought over it. So I can't tell you. At present, I am only concerned about a good job.
(THAT WAS MY MISTAKE, or atleast I think so)Now I was completely took over the guy.
He asked- what kind of job are u looking for?I said - one which requires a lot of logic to be employed. It should be challenging atleast.He asked me- what if i put you in a testing job?I said - that's ok. I wil do that. If you know that i'm good at designing solution logic, then in order for mybeing more beneficial for ur company, you will put me in an appropriate job sooner or later.He said- that's ok but we've so many clients, if i get only testing job, i'll continually put u in testing job.Then what will you do.I said - then I'll find something of my interest in it.He said - but testing is not at all any interesting job to do.I said- I build my interest in whatever i do. I always fing something of my interest.He said- but you want a challenging job, & testing is not what you like.I said- no. Even testing is also a challenging job.He asked- How? What's challenging in testing?I said- designing good test cases is challenging. It requires a lot of logic.He asked- what's challenging in designing test cases?I said- test cases shall be good, they should test all aspects of the software.He asked - If a single test case can check all aspects of a software?I said- no multiple test cases are designed. However, software must be check completely.There should be minimum no. of bugs.He said - minimum bugs or zero bugs?I said - minimum bugs.He asked - sure?I said- yes.He said- you are saying software should contain minimum bugs & not
zero bugs. Are you sure?I said - only ideal project contains zero bug. & Ideals are never real.He said- Don't tell me these fundas.I said- that's not my intention. I just want to say in practice no project can be totally bug free.He said- you wan't to say all projects are designed to have bugs.I said- no, Designer aims at bug free design. Bugs are generally introduced during coding.He said- you are saying designer aims at having no bugs, & tester aims at having minimum bugs.I said- yes sirHe said- Are you sure?I said- Yes, That's because when we try to eliminate the present bugs, we modify the code.And hence some new bugs may get introduced in the code. Thus, a good tester always aims at havingminimum bugs.He asked- And what will you say about a software having zero bugs.I said- I'll say the software is really good.He said- What do you mean? Suppose I appoint you to test a project & you don't find any bug in it.What will you say then?I said- That's great. I mean, if there is no bug in the project & if it is good performance-wise,Then i must say the project is coded very nicely.He asked- You won't say that testing was done badly & hence we find no bugs.I said- If you trust me & you appoint me on such a responsible post of a tester,& I don't find any bugs in it. Then you must also believe in my saying that project is coded very nicely,& we don't find any bugs just because there aren't any.
Here we concluded the interview.
A few minutes later, two lists were declared, one of those candidates who were recommended for mgmt. interview,& other of those who were not recommended. My name was present in the second list.
I asked the HR about my weak points, So that I can improve on them.He said you must learn how to market urself.
If you've reached here (at the end of the mail) you are being really nice to me. Plz., send me any suggestionsthat u have, or any cooments, or just anything that comes in ur mind. This will help me to improve myself.Send ur mails to:
