TCS CANDIDATE EXPERIENCE

Hi,

As far as the written test is concerned you have 2 tests...

TCS Talent Test

1) Aptitude test
-- consists of the following 3 subsections -- time 2 hours
(i) Section 1 of this aptitude test is of verbal type - 10 synonyms, 10 antonyms, some reading comprehension questions, and organizing jumbled sentences to make a meaningful paragraph, you can use GRE barrons book or any book of TOEFL -- total 32 marks
(ii) Section 2 is of simple mathematics...you don't need any preparation for that, using R.S. Agarwal - quantitative aptitude may help -- total 34 marks
(iii) Section 3 is of critical reasoning...this is similar to the analytical section of GRE..now this section is no more in GRE -- total 12 marks

2) Psychometric test -- time 30 minutes
Psychometric test consists of a test of 150 questions...for every questions you have to choose either yes,no or can't say....but you should not go for the can't say option as far as possible. Important thing in this section is that you should give similar answers to similar questions.


Technical interview -- technical interview of TCS is very simple...they make you feel very comfortable..he offered me a glass of water and also a biscuit as he realized that i was a bit nervous...he started with some HR type of questions -- like tell something about yourself, your academic background..

Then he asked me which in programming languages i was most confident..i said C,C++ and Java...then he asked me to rate myself in those languages from 1 to 10.

i said 7 out of 10 for all of them...then he asked me which topic in C i found the most difficult..i said file management...then he asked me how can i copy 1 file into another using C...and u know that is very simple ...i even didn't need to write the code...i named some of the functions that were required and he was convinced...then he asked me if i had worked at hardware level in C...i said i have worked with TSRs in C...he asked few basic questions of TSRs...then what are the essential features of an object oriented programming language..? He also asked my strong and weak points..so think of your strong and weak points before going for the interview..

surprisingly i was not asked any question about my final year project..but be prepared for that..

Management Interview

In management interview they ask questions like describe yourself...strong points and weak points...why you are going for TCS...so go through the TCS website and see the mission, vision, values...the number of clients and the number of countries in which TCS has its offices...and all important figures...mentioning those things will be a plus..

Then he asked me who is my role model...and if you name somebody then they will ask why...what innovations did he make...so think of some role model and be prepared for some questions on him...if you don't know some answer then frankly say.." sir i don't have much idea about that thing."

All the best for your future..

B.
Senior managers in a leading company said that new japanese investment
in india was transforming the car industry and warned that jobs were
under threat from japanese competition. they stated that increasing
competition would be coupled with an in evitable downturn i the car
market and the recent rise in interst rates whaich had already hit
demand.

5.some senior managers said that more people will want to buy new cars
in
the future. F
6.managers told workers that japanese workers are taking jobs away
from indian workers in the car industry. F
7.the managers issued their warning after a rise in interest rates. T

8.the increased rate of the interest will mean that japanese firms
will cease to operate in this country. C

C.Researchers in mumbai have found that certain types of gallstones
can be dissolved by injecting them with a gasoline additive in the
form of
ether the ether is injected through a tube directly into a tube
directly
into the gallbladder.the one day treatment works only on
cholesterol-based stones.not those composed largely o calcium.however
as the
clolesterol stones are by far the most common typefor millions of
gallstones
sufferers the treatment should offer a welcome alternative tosurgery
the commonest option in nost hospitals.
9.injecting ether into the gallbladder dissolves most gallstones
T
10.surgery is the only treatment for calcium stones T
11.hundreds of peoplecontains calcium stones C
12.calcium stones will be cured in one day F

D.organising the home can be perceived as conferring power so large
numbers of women are unwilling to let go of chores,even when they have
careers.a survey found that,out of 65 new marriages not one single
wife expected her husband to share work equally.according to the
family policy studies center 81% working wives return home to do all th
cooking.The average male has nearly half as much more tfree time at
weekends
than his wife and the typical new father spends just 37 seconds a day
talking to his baby.

equally. T
14.the average wife has half as much free time at weekends as her
husband.

E.confucius said that to know the future we have to understand
thepasthis time transport ,communications and scientific knowledge were less
developed than they are today.news took weeks to travel where as
today satellite links connect the continents virtually
instantaneously.but our technological advances in the field of communications seem not to have improved our capacity to understand one another

17.in confucius daay people were more intelligent C
18.we understand each otheer better now than in confucius time because
we can travel more quickly. F
19.we have made great improvements in transport since confucius day
T
20.none of our scientific discoveries has really improved our lives
C

F.words in totalitarian systems have an unhealthy importance and in
such states now attempting to return to a more democratic normality there
has been a natural inevitable and healthy devaluation of words whereas
previouslu a single word used in a sppech or even a play or poem
could be a serious political event now the words come cheaper almost
free. politics is politics again and poetry only poetry.

21.totalitarian state devalue words T
22.only non-totalitarian regimes produce poetry of political importance
T
23.writers under totalitarian regimes have to choose their words care
fully T
24. the democratic political system is healthier than others C

G.statistics show that millions of vehicals have beencarried by
shuttle
over the past 30 years through alpine tunnels withouty one ever
catching tire.in the alpine tunnels.drivers and passengers sit in
theirvhehicals on the shuttle trains.only one vehical has evercaught fire on the
bussy french motorail equivalent system.this sort of accidents is not
possible in a closed shuttle. assertinos that a vehical fire will lead to
catastophe have no basis. since the resoures exit do detect,control and
extingush a fire and to remove any persons present safely to an
adjoning wagon, leaving any surviving fire facing rapid extinction within a
wagan
built to contain fire for 30 minutes. catastrophe seems very unlikely.

25. if a car cauget fire in a rail shuttle, probably none would be
killed.
(T)
26.at least one vehical has cauht fire in an alpine tunnel.(f)
27.if a fire started in a wagon, it would be allowed to burn itself out
in
30 minutes.(f)

shuttle system.(F)
H)every form of art is protected by copy write,upon the expiration of
whitch the property passes into the public domain and becomes freely
available to any one wishing to exploit it commercialy. the time has come
when all treasures shoud pass to the controled of a trust,and by this
made readily available to anyone on pament of a fee or royality.the
income fromthe works of tagore would alone be enarmous.these who now main
financialbenifit from his genius should make some contribution to the
welfare of the arts in general.

29.tagore's plays are not protected by copyright. F
30.tagore's decendants should be asked to make some contribution to the
arts C
31.instead of buying a ticket , theatregoers should pay a fee to trust
for the benefit of the arts. C
32. More people could go to the theatre if copy rightwere abolished

I. Hacking is a crime made possible by a relatively new technology,
which one of the reasons it is often poorly understood and reported. Many
computers, but no means all,are now linked togetherin networks which
allow users on one computer to communicate with others on the same
network.If a computer is not networked,no manipulation of its datafrom
another machine is possible.So long as users are authorised, networking
is just a way of making work easier and more productive.Hacking on the
other hand,is the unauthorised use of networks or unauthorised entty
into the computers themselves.Most people do not need to break into
the networks they use,since they are already accredited users.

33. Most hackers are authorised to break into networks F
34. Computers are only vulerable to the unauthorised manipulation of
their data via another computer if they are networked T
35.The main reason why it is relatively easy to break into a computer
is that few people understand the technology. C
36.Hackers do not work fot the firms whose networks they break into.

J.Although invaders represent a threat to the conservation of flora
and fauna,there are two special cases in which invasion have been
deliberately brought about.One is the desire to control presents by natural
predators,
whichmay have to be brought in from other countries.The second is
releasing organisms into the wild(or on to farms,from which they might
escape)that are completely novel,beacause they have been genetically
engineered.There is nothing intrinsically sinister about engineered
organisms,but any novelty must be regarded as a potential invader.
37.Pest control does not threat the conservation of flora and fauna.
T
38.Genetically engineered organisms must always be regarded as
potentially dangerous. F
39.Natural predators are work harmful than pests.T
40.Genetically engineered organisms escaped from the farm,they will be
pose a threat to wildlife. T

K.electronics technology is coming to the rescue of helicopters which
can be grounded or crash in icy conditions the machines are especially
vulnerable to the build up of ice on both their rotors and engine air
intake when operating in cold damp conditions.the problem is 2 fold
ice increases the weight and the build upp makes the aerofoils less
efficient .now at last a detector has been devised which the company hopes
will mean safer flightsand less frequent grounding.unlike most devices
in use at present it can detect the liquid water content of
cloud above freezing level.so the warning is ginven before the
potential hazard is encountered.

39.an electronic device has been invented which will prevent the build
up of ice on helicopter rotors F
40.helicopters are sometimes grounded because in cold damp weather
their engine air intakes and rotors malfuntion owing to the formatrion of
ice.
T
41.only one device can at present detect the liquid water content of
cloud above freezing level C
42.in future fewer helicopters will crash or have to grounded T
L.anyone whos has systematically examined faces will have perceived a
prepondreance although not a proliferation of asymmtry.whether or not
the expression is volitinal and self controlled or spontaneous
appears to predict facial asymmetry as does the type of emotion
protrayed.positive emotions are usually displayed symmetrically although a
left sided

representation of a negative emotion is more common.posed expressions
and negative emotions are less likely to be symmetrically represented.

43.an angry person is more likely to have a lopsided expression than
someone who is smiling T
44.a deliberately assumed facial expression will always be
asymmetrical F
45.an actor is likely to smile symmetrically when acting C
46.more self conscious people are likely to have less asymmetrically
facial expressions than those who are less aware of themselves T


M. human existence is not susceptible of arbitary division between
consciousness and unconsciousness.the conscious world invades and
shapes
the activities of the unconscious while many of the great
achievements of
humanity's waking hours were wholly or partly inspires bu dreams
..even if
it could be argued that dreams precede experience such a dichotomy
could
not be drawn as the influence of dreaming on the waking state would
remain
unclear but as yet no common vocabulary exists to record the
substance
of prenatal dreaming
47.sleep can be a creative state. T
48.it is difficult to tell whether a sleeper is dr3eaming or not C
49. if we knew what babies dream about before they are born we could
show that conscious and unconscious mond influence one another F
50. it is untrue to claim that the conscious and unconscious worlds
never
impinge on one another F

New twenty questions
N. disease x succeeds lung disease.it may also occur helthy persons
the
person looks healthier from outside.the number of red blood cells in

the blood increased and this leads to thickness fo the blood as a
result
of which blood lacks inside the vessels .the person suffers heart
attact.
one possible solution is to remove a litre of blood or to control
the
growth of red blood cells.
53.lung disease precedes the disease x T
54.a person who gets heart attack always has disease x F
55.people suffering from disease x look healthier C
56.one litre of blood must be removed to cure this T


O.a starfire engine has been designed to work only for unleaded
petrol.this crossfire engine is designed for both 1500 and `1800 cc
they internally and externally look alike except for the difference
in wheels ----,2000 cc is differentr from the above.two in terms of
3

57.the engine run only on the leaded petrol F
58.1500 and 1800 cc look alike F
59.apart from cross fire engines they manfacture ---- F
60.internal structure of the 2000cc is same as that of both 1500 and
1800 cc C


P.a weed killer to kill the weeds has been developed.the weed killer
solution has to be applied to the growing tips. it need not to be
applied
to all the tips.the solution has to be prepared in a can in one hand
and the plants are taken in the other hand with a glove and are
immersed
in the solution if we cannot immerse them in the solution the
solution
can be applied to the roots with a brush.it used without care it can
pose danger to other plants.
61.the solutions has to applied to growing leaves
62.to use the weedkiller first take the plants in the cn as then pour
the
solution into it.
63.it is sufficient to apply it only to some roots
64.it effects to the other plants.

9. Three persons R, S, and Q can finish a job in 8 days. R and S together can complete the work in 12 days. How long will take Q to finish the job working alone?
Ans: 24hrs

10. Ismail gets a weekly salary of Rs.240 and 12% commission of the sales he makes. How much sales should he make to get a consolidated salary of Rs.540.
Ans: Rs2,500


Explanations:


1) The result he got after multiplying by 3 is 3. So the number has to be 1 (3/3). It has to be divided by 3 for getting the correct result. So the result is 1/3.
2) Present mixture contains 2 parts of R and 1 part of S, which totals to 3 parts of the mixture. Let X parts of R be added to the mixture to make S as 25 % of the mixture. This implies that R is now 75% of the mixture.
Total content is 3 + X
S is 1
25 % of (3 + X) = 1
(25/100) * (3 + X) = 1
75 + 25X = 100
25X = 25
X = 1 parts
3) Let original length and breadth be L and B respectively. Length is increased by 30 % and breadth is decreased by 20 %.
The new length and breadth are 1.3L and 0.8B
Old area = L * B
New area = 1.3L * 0.8B
= 1.04 L * B
Percentage change in area = ((1.04 L * B - L * B)/(L * B)) * 100
= 4 %
4) Let X packets be of 1kg and Y packets be of 2kg.
Total number of packets is 150.
X + Y = 150
Total weight is 264.
X + 2*Y = 264 (2*Y because weight of one Y packet is 2kg)
Y = 114
5) No. of students = 40
No .of students reading Hindi = 30
No .of students reading Hindi = 30
Minimum No. of students reading both = (30+ 20) - 40
= 10

6) Let the age of Jamila and Qurban be X and Y respectively Age of Jamila is twice that of Qurban
X = 2Y --------------------1
Difference of the ages of Jamila before 4yrs and Qurban after 3yrs is 12
(X - 4) - (y + 3) = 12
X - 4 - Y - 3 = 12
X - Y = 19 ---------2

Substituting 1 in 2
2Y - Y = 19
Y = 19
X = 38
Sum of their ages = 19 + 38
= 57

7) Time taken = 330 min = (330/60) hrs
Distance traveled = 110 miles
Speed = Distance/time
= (110/(330/60))
= (110/330) * 60
= 20
8) First man was over speeding by 10mph.
Hen the net man oever speed by twice that of the previous man. So the second man should have over ridden by 20mph. Also he was travelling at speed of 35mph.
So the speed limit = 35-20
= 15mph

9) Work done by R S and Q together in a day is 1/8
Work done by R and S together in a day is 1/12
Work done by Q alone = 1/8 - 1/12
= 1/24
Time taken for Q alone to finish the job is 24 days.

10) Weekly salary of Ismail is Rs.240
His expected weekly salary with commission is Rs.540
Commission of the week = 540 - 240
= 300
His commission is 12% of his sales.
Let his sales be Rs.X
(12/100) * X = 300
X = 2,500
