Most of TCS drives have the following pattern:-
Name:- Shubham
College:- PCETS NMIET, Pune
Profile:- Assistant System Engineer
I appeared for the TCS National Qualifier Test. Since I had already heard about this drive, and cause TCS has always been one of my dream companies, I had started preparing for this exam way before, they even announced it. I had heard about PrepInsta and their study materials about TCS and I followed the same. And when the Prime website, I got a membership and prepared from there as well. So I would like to share my entire Interview Experience with TCS.
The first round was the national qualifier round. It is an online exam, conducted on the TCS iON platform. There were two sections:
Foundation section had 4 sections:
Advanced section had 3 sections
I got the results of the NQT exam after a few weeks. There were two interviews, which were conducted on the same day. I first received my Technical Interview link on my email. The round was conducted on Microsoft Teams. The interviewer asked me a lot of programming and technical questions.
1.Introduce yourself.
2.What was your project? Explain in detail.
I explained about my project and she cross examined me on my project topics, especially on the output and the technologies which I had used.
3. Which is your preferred programming language?
I replied Python.
4.What is a list and tuple?
Lists:-
Tuple:-
5.What is pass and break statement ?
Pass Statement:-
The pass statement is simply a null statement. Pass statements are used to postpone compilation time.
Break Statement:-
Break is a loop control statement that is used to end a loop if the required target is satisfied.
6. What is call by value and call by reference?
Call by value:- Calling a method with a parameter as the value is referred to as call by value.
Call by reference:- The call by reference method sends variable values from the caller to the caller function.
7. What is local and global variable?
Local Variable:-
These variables are defined in short blocks of code like as functions, control statement blocks, and so on. The default value of local variables is “garbage value.”
Global Variable:-
Global variables exist outside of functions and are available to all functions; their values can be altered by any function. Global value is set to zero by default.
After the technical interview was over, the interviewer gave me a link for the HR interview. The HR interview was very short and there were a few questions only.
Thus was also on Microsoft Teams. The questions asked here were,
1. How was your technical interview?
2. What did you do during the pandemic at home?
3. Will you be able to relocate?
4.Any questions?
Name:- Madhumitha
College:- Christu Jyothi Institute of Technology and Science
Profile:- Assistant System Engineer
I applied for this drive through PrepInsta. They provided us with the registration link, and I used it to register for the same.
The first round was an online written exam. There were 2 sections:-
Question 1:TCS Advanced Coding Question
Given a maximum of 100 digit numbers as input, find the difference between the sum of odd and even position digits.
#include
#include
#include
int main()
{
int a = 0,b = 0,i = 0, n;
char num[100];
printf("Enter the number:");
scanf("%s",num); //get the input up to 100 digit
n = strlen(num);
while(n>0)
{
if(i==0) //add even digits when no of digit is even and vise versa
{
a+=num[n-1]-48;
n--;
i=1;
}
else //add odd digits when no of digit is even and vice versa
{
b+=num[n-1]-48;
n--;
i=0;
}
}
printf("%d",abs(a-b)); //print the difference of odd and even
return 0;
}
I got an email for the TR interview a day before the interview. It was conducted on MS Teams. The questions asked included:-
1. What are strings?
A string is defined as an array of characters that can be extended with extra predefined methods via headers.
2. What are the features of C?
3. What are loops? What is if loop?
A loop is defined as the process of repeating a series of statements until the condition becomes false. The main function of loops is to execute code repeatedly.
Because the execution flow forms a cycle, loops are also known as iterative statements.
If loop:-
The if loop is used to compare two or more sets of values, and if that condition or comparison is met, the part of the code contained in the statement is executed.
4. What is method overloading and method overriding?
Method overloading:-
Method overloading is a polymorphism approach that enables the creation of numerous methods with the same name but distinct signatures.
Method overriding:
Method overriding occurs when a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method that is already offered by its parent class. It is used to implement interface methods as well as runtime polymorphism.
5.What do you mean by type-casting?
Type casting is a data conversion mechanism that converts data from one data type to another.
| Join | Union |
|---|---|
| It integrated information into new columns. | It integrates data to create new rows. |
| It retrieves matched records from two or more tables. | It combines the results of two separate select statements. |
| Different datatypes from relevant columns might be used. | The data types of the selected relevant columns should be the same. |
7.What is the difference between primary and unique keys?
| Primary Key | Secondary Key |
|---|---|
| A primary key identifies data within a table. | A secondary key is a key that is used in addition to or instead of the primary key to locate data. |
| Only one primary key can exist. | There may be multiple unique keys. |
| It builds a clustered index. | It generates an index that is not clustered. |
8. What is the query for deleting a row in SQL?
We can use the DELETE command.
DELETE FROM table_name WHERE required_condition;
Example:
If we want to delete from students table the record of student name Jenny, we will use
DELETE FROM students WHERE StudentName='Jenny';
These were all the questions that were asked in my Technical Interview round.
The HR round was conducted shortly after the Technical round. I got the interview link and joined the meeting. It was also conducted on MS Teams. This was a very short round and the questions were very simple.
1.Who is the CEO of TCS?
Rajesh Gopinathan
2.What is the difference between a service based and a product based company?
3.Have you ever experienced failure in your life? Tell me about that experience.
4. Have you participated in any of TCS’ competitions like codevita?
5.Are you ready to relocate? Are you ready to sign the service agreement?
This was all for my TCS interview experience. For anyone attending the interview I will advise you to be confident and patient during the procedure.
Best of luck.
