TCS PAPER ON 14th MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR



Hi everyone! I am Mukul and I got thru TCS in an on campus drive in my college where they recruited 130 students . I am from Electrical Branch. Package was 3.15 L for B.tech and 3.35 L for MCA and 2 yrs Bond. It was a two day process in my college Written Test was conducted on 14th ......out of 340 eligible candidates 248 were selected for Interview round. A combined Technical plus HR interview was conducted on 15th ..........130 out of 248 were finally selected.



I wud like to share my experience wid all of u .The paper as usual consisted of 3 sections-

1) VERBAL ( 20 minutes – 32 questions )
2) APTITUDE ( 40 minutes – 35 questions )
3) CRITICAL REASONING ( 30 minutes – 12 questions )

VERBAL
In this section there were 10 SYNONYMS, 10 ANTONYMS. Also,A long para was given with some blanks n options were given to fill the blanks(abt 7-8 blanks)

Prepare this section frm BARRON'S 12th edition.

Only 333 high frequency words , antonyms chapter , all model test paper antonyms and 750 words from Wordlist is sufficient.

APTITUDE
In this almost all the ques. were frm previous yrs. papers. Ques. pattern was the same just the DATA gets changed.If u solve ques. frm old papers of TCS u can do this section with ease.

ques r frm :
Work and time , singularity matrix , word coding , row major n column major , odd one out , base conversion , series completion , flight problems , orthogonal pairs , general curves , matching pairs venn diagram , pie charts , bar charts , average n many more questions from previous year papers……….

1.What is the largest prime number stored in a—

a) 6 bit pattern (ANS~2^6=64,So no is 61)

b) 7 bit pattern (ANS~2^7=128, So no is 127)

d) 9 bit pattern (ANS~2^9=512, So no is 503

2.If G(0)= -1, G(1)=1, G(N)=G(N-1)-G(N-2), then find-
