SPECIALLY FOR DIPLOMA STUDENTS

Hello friends,this is harshit elaborating tcTCS placement experience with detailed Technical & hr interview .I am an E.C.E. student, have done my diploma in same branch.

APTITUDE TEST
ENGLISH (20 MINS.)
QUANT/MATHS
CRITICAL REASONING(30MINS.)

U CANNOT SWITCH between SECTIONS .sections change after defined time. Same PATTERN as previous papers BUT NUMBERS changed.

If possible remember answers of sums it REALLY HELPS SAVES TIME ,helps us to think for other non seen questions.it was ONLINE TEST ,questions are DIFFERENT for EACH STUDENT.NO NEGATIVE MARKING.

THERE IS NO SECTIONAL CUT OFF. CUT OFF WAS 50,I secured 55.5,I saw marks in hr interview. NO PSCHOMETRY TEST

TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
(IT’S BETTER TO ACCEPT IGNORANCE RATHER THAN TO BLUFF,EYE CONTACTS IMPORTANT ,CONFIDENCE MUST,BE COOL & CALM,ASSURE THEM U R READY TO WORK HARD AS THEY WANT ) IN THE COLUMN OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES KNOWN,I HAD LEFT IT BLANK.

WHEN I ENTERED ROOM HE ASKED ME TO WAIT OUTSIDE FOR 10 MINS.,may be this was to check my patience. After 10 mins.,TCS coordinator called me. It was 9-00 pm ,I took with me my biodata file consiting of Xerox’s of ssc,diploma3rd 4th 5th sem results.and PROJECT REPORT.no one of us carried either.
