Category (Placement Paper or Interview Experience): Interview Experience

Date Conducted: 27 Feb 2008
Paper/Interview:

TCS campussing was done in our college in two stages:

1) Aptitude test
2) Technical and HR round

We were asked to be present at the seminar hall at 8.30am sharp. After the ppt w
hich was given at around 9.30am; the aptitude started. We were divided into two
batches. The first batch started their apti at around 11am and the second batch
at 1pm.

Aptitude part:
It consisted of 3 sections:A) Verbal
It consisted of about 10 synonyms, 10 antonyms, followed by some questions on co
mprehension. For the synonyms and antonyms its better to go through Barron s 12th
edition book.

B) Quantitative
It consisted of problems from the following topics: Time & distance, time & work
, permutation & combinations, probability, numbers, equations, average, simple &
compound interest, ratio & proportions, Venn diagrams, allegation of mixtures,
etc For this part I would suggest all of you to go through the book by R.S. Agar
wal s Quantitative Aptitude. You must also go through previous years question pape
rs to get problems of similar types.
C) Critical Reasoning
It consisted of passages from Baron s 12th editions model test papers. My passages
were:
Model Test 1, Sec 6, Q8-11

Model Test 3, Sec 5, Q1-4

Model Test 4, Sec 6, Q8-12

Out of 216 students who appeared for the aptitude 170 students were selected for
the interview.

Technical and HR:

We were asked to fill in the blue form and then we were called one by one for in
terview.My turn came at about 9.40pm. I entered the administrative block room. T

ere 2 young persons sitting. I asked them May I come in . They nodded. Then I asked

Then he shook hands with me. I wished them Good Night . It was a brief 20mins inter
view and ended at 10pm. The whole interview of our college ended at 11.30pm. We
were all feeling very hungry so we went to our homes as early as possible.

The results were declared on 3rd Mar at about 4 pm.Of the 170 students 90 were s
elected. I had my name at no 48. It was a big moment of relief. Lots of congratu
lations were coming from both the friends and teachers. My parents were overjoye
d.

One last tip I want to give to all of u: If you r having a good academic backgro
und and is a good communicator in English, u r bound to get selected. And always
be confident of what u are saying and practice apti well.
