Swapan Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page Discretion abt written Selection Process Written Test: Prepare from previous papers. Its of the same pattern.Prepare wordlist from Barrons. There was no psychometric test.We had only 1 and a half hr to complete the paper. For quants, we had to write the answers and were not of multiple choices. Logical questions were bit tough.Main problem is the time shortage to complete it fully. Interview There were around 8 - 10 panels for tech intrw held at TCS, Karapakkam, Chennai.Environment was excellent. People from TCS were very soft and had a cheerful face. In my panel, two persons of age around 35 40 yrs interviewed me. Tech intrw was held for around 55 min. Slightly drilling but easy. After clearing tech, I attended HR where one young man interviewed me. It went for half an hour exactly.Most of them were only personal questn and some tech Qs.On my time slot, 5 ppl attended in that same panel and only 2 cud get thro.

For another friend, the tech held for just 10min.They asked 2 gen. Qs like where he is from (Ambattur) and how he reached that office. Then 2 tech Qs 1) Shannons theory ? Ans: I dont know2) Diff betn up85 & 86. He told correctly.He got selected. So, it depends on ur luck to get a good panel. Technical Interview Introduce ur self. First person started.. He asked my mark sheets from which Qs were poured from various subj Id studied in my BE (ECE) syllabus

Favourite subj.? Digital How abt mp? Draw the architecture of 8085?Explain each block?Interrupts and its types? Flags?

How it is used as rectifier? Zener diode? What is bias? What is thyristor? SCR? Where used? Diff betn thyristor & transistor? And some more Then programming How good u r with programming? I know only C. Asked me to write a pgm. Im not well versed with programming. I know only conceptually. Why pointers? Answered Luckly, they skipped the topic. ThenNetwork Topologies? Bus, ring What u know in networking? I know only the basics as this was not choosen as our elective. Then whats ur elective? Biomedical.. (I think the person was good in that subj.) I was caught He fired several questions like How ECG working? Stethoscope working? BP ? and more How pressure converted to signal? Transducers? Then came to the projectExplain ur proj. I explained clearly with proj report. Some Qs on project. I myself added that I did with 3 other students from different states and could manage to complete the project successfully.

Finally general QsYou did a proj in digital design and why do u want to come to software? Why not hardware? What guarentee u give that u wont shift to hardware after 2 yrs saying u dont like S/w? Another person asked what u studied in Engineering economics & mgmt? R u interested in this subj? I frankly said its a bit boring subj. coz there is nothing to learn and this is the subj where we write stories.They smiled. If we put u in proj dealing with mgmt,..difft from what uve studied in BE, r u ready to do that? U said its a boring subj. & now ready to switch over to that ? First of all, working at TCS itself is a great pleasure and it would be my duty to develop interest in that subject and shine well in that area. Finally they asked any Qs 2 us? Yes sir! On what electronics related proj r u working currently? Then I smiled and said then there is a chance for me to get into electronics based s/w projects. HR Interview Introduce urself other than in application. I told abt my positives and ideologies.While I was saying the 2nd point of my ideology, my throat got chocked coz of fear. Are u alright? Yes sir. Im slightly nervous.Its OK. Whats ur hobbies? Playing Tennis and chess. In chess, how its scored? I said weve checkmate the opponent king. He poured more Qs on chess. I said, I used to play chess only with computer just as a time pass and not serious with that. How many squares r there in a chess board? 1st I said 100 and then said sorry 64. How abt tennis? How many sets are played in a match?How it is scored? said 0, 15, 30, 45, game.I made a damn mistake of saying 45 instead of 40. He again asked to check and I was still stubborn with my ans.

Finally, Any Qs to me? Yes sir! Whats the training period? 45 days Whether I can avail transportation facilities from TCS? yes Whether u do any electronics related proj @ Chennai? No. Its done at Hyd only. Thanked him and smiled my way back home with great confidence.

There was no change in the test pattern of TCS that has been conducted at kolkata. First there was an online test which consisted of 1) Verbal section 2) Quant section 3) Reasoning section --Verbal section was veryyyyy tough.I suggest you read the entire high frequency word list from barrons-gre thoroughly and it should help a great deal. there were 10 synonyms and 10 antonyms and a sentence completion paragraph which was tough as well and then there was an RC which was also tough. --Quant section was veryyyyyyyy easy . one need not prepare for this. it was repitition of old papers.the same latitude sum, cubes sum, distances sum etc......same sums but change in values thats all. --reasoning was directly from barrons 13th edition no change in values as well...i did not even read the questions completely i remembered the answers that i solved while i was preparing and finished this section which consisted of 12 questions in 2 minutes i think. just finish barrons 13 edition model papers thats enough then there was technical interview... i was eliminated in this round...they asked almost every subject..... CO,CN,OS,C,C++,DBMS,SOFTWARE ENGG ABT PROJECT ETC........ AND THEN THERE WAS HR HOPE THIS INFO HELPED U .... BYE DESSY
