we can come back to any question.

The questions were the exact set of last year pattern. Most of the students were rejected from this test

Interview 1: Technical Interview

Total no of panels: 14
each panel comprises of 3 persons
Duration: 20-40 minutes

Questions were from what we say in “tell about you”, our field of interest, our project.
Everyone was asked questions in c. For circuit branches most of the questions were from c and c++.

It is better to divert the panel towards something what we know by informing them in “tell about you”. Otherwise more no of technical questions were asked. They expect an elaborate answer than a short one. Some hr questions were also asked. For some students including me, 90 % were hr questions.


Interview 2: HR Interview

Total no of panels: 3
Panel 1 - Thomas.
Panel 2 - Elizabeth.
Panel 3 – Rajesh and one more person.

Panel 1: Most of the students feared as it was like stress interview. Technical questions were also asked but only to test the patience and coolness. He asked about 40-50 questions to each from various fields including technical. Many of the students who got selected from this panel haven’t  answered many questions but they remained cool during the entire session. Thomas will never show any reaction, he just asks questions rapidly.

Duration: 10 – 30 minutes.

Panel 2:
This panel headed by Elizabeth was very easy.
Duration: 5-10 minutes.

Most of the students felt relaxed from this panel as there were no technical questions.
Only hr questions were asked. More advices were given in this panel. You will be asked to talk about any current affair.

Panel 3:
Duration: 10-20 minutes.

Few technical questions were asked. But mostly hr questions were asked. It is better to go through the TCS website for this panel.

In all the three panels following were looked:
Dress code
Patience
Comm. skills

All the best
