TCS NQT or TCS National Qualifier Test conducted by TCS once or twice every year. By applying through this test a student can get shortlisted for TCS Ninja and TCS Digital profile.
Name:- Ria Sharma
College:- Baddi University of Emerging Science and Technology
Profile:- Ninja
The first round was the TCS NQT exam. I registered for this exam on TCS’ iON website. I had more than a month to prepare for the exam. I tried to find previous exam questions for NQT to prepare from. I came over PrepInsta’s website and they had dedicated materials for NQT including previous exam questions, model questions etc. They also conducted some YouTube live sessions for preparation, which I attended and found a lot of help in.
I got the hall ticket for the exam a few days before the exam date. The test was conducted on TCS iON website and was of around 3 hours long.
The written test was divided into two sections namely,
1. Foundation section
Time limit: 75mins
This section was subdivided into 4 sections:
2. Advanced Section
Time limit: 90mins
This section was further divided into 3 sections:
Based on my NQT results, I got shortlisted for the Ninja profile.
The interview was conducted on zoom, and there were two interviewers. One asked technical questions and the other asked HR/MR questions. Both the interviews combined lasted for 30-35 minutes.
1.What is an array?
An array is a collection of similar elements that are stored together in a single contagious memory location. In an array all the elements are of the same or similar data type.
2.Can an array store elements of different datatype?
We cannot store elements of different datatype in an array.
3. Give the code for Armstrong number.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
//Initialize variables
int num ,n,n1,c=0,mul=1,sum=0,r,f,i;
printf("enter any num: \n");
scanf("%d",&num);
n=num;
n1=num;
//Count the number of digits
while(n!=0)
{
r=n%10;
c++;
n=n/10;
}
//Calculation for Armstrong number
while (num!=0)
{
f=num%10;
mul=1;
for(i=1;i<=c;i++)
{
mul=mul*f;
}
sum=sum+mul;
num=num/10;
}
//Checking if its Armstrong or not
if(n1==sum)
printf("Armstrong Number");
else
printf("Not an Armstrong Number");
return 0;
}
4.What is the difference between DDL and DML?
| DDL | DML |
|---|---|
| This stands for Data Definition Language | This stands for Data manipulation Language |
| it is used for creating the data base | it is used for manipulating the data |
| DDL had no classification | DML is further classified into procedural and non procedural DML |
| Commands incldue CREARW, DROP | Commands include INSERT, UPDATE |
5.What are pointers? What is a null pointer?
Pointers are variables that work like a locator/indicator to an address value.
Null pointer is a pointer that does not point to any address value.
6.Can foreign keys be null?
Yes foreign keys can be null.
7.Can you tell me more about these projects that you have mentioned in your resume?
These were all the technical questions. After this the HR interviewer took over and asked some basic questions. Then he asked for some documents.
1.Have you done any team project? How do you work in a team?
2.How do you manage stress?
3.Are you ready to relocate?

This was an online assessment round. There were in total 2 sections:-
This section had questions on traits, numerical ability, and verbal and reasoning ability.
The duration to complete this section was 75 minutes. I completed the foundation section in just 60 minutes.
I was satisfied with my test.
The advanced section had questions from advanced reasoning ability and advanced quantitative ability along with some coding questions.
The total time allotted was 90 mins where 55 mins was allotted for the coding section.
I have mentioned a coding question that was given to me during my test below.
Find the distinct elements in a given array.(Assume size of array n<=20)
Sample Input:
Sample Output:
// C program to print all distinct elements in a given array
#include
void distict_elements(int a[], int n);
int main()
{
int size_array, i, arr[20];
// Get the array size
scanf(“%d”, &size_array)
// Get the array elements
for(i=0; i<size_array; i++)
{
scanf(“%d”, &arr[i]);
}
// Function call to print the distinct elements in an array
distict_elements(arr, size_array);
return 0;
}
void distict_elements(int a[], int n)
{
int i, j;
// Pick all elements one by one
for (i=0; i<n; i++)
{
// Check if the picked element is already printed
for (j=0; j<i; j++)
{
if (a[i] == a[j])
break;
}
// If not printed earlier, then print it
if (i == j)
printf(“%d “, a[i]);
}
}
After the NQT exam, I got the results after 2 weeks. I was shortlisted for the interview round after clearing the online test.
I had two interviews conducted on two days, one was a technical interview and one was a HR interview. Both the interviews were conducted on Zoom.
1.Introduce yourself
2. Difference between C and C++.
| C | C++ |
|---|---|
| C does not support OOPS concept | C++ supports OOPS concepts like object, inheritance, etc |
| C is a procedural language, where each line of code is an instruction for the compiler. | C++ is a Hybrid language having a combination of both object oriented language and proecdural programming language. |
| C has a predefined function support only in the form of header files, and therefore the names within the file or program cannot be duplicated. | C++ has namespace feature which enables it to have same names for functions or variables. |
| C supports 32 keywords | C++ supports the same 32 keywords as C, along with that it also supports 20 exclusive keywords. |
| C has no support for excerptions, and any runtime error can shutdown the program immediately. | C++ has try, throe and catch keywords, using which exceptions can be handled, and abnormal terminations can be avoided. |
3.What are the different operators in C?
4.Write a program to reverse a given number.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
//Initialization of variables where rev='reverse=0'
int number, rev = 0,store, left;
//input a numbers for user
printf("Enter the number\n");
scanf("%d", &number);
store= number;
//use this loop for check true condition
while (number > 0)
{
//left is for remider are left
left= number%10;
//for reverse of no.
rev = rev * 10 + left;
//number /= 10;
number=number/10;
}
//To show the user value
printf("Given number = %d\n",store);
//after reverse show numbers
printf("Its reverse is = %d\n", rev);
return 0;
}
5.What projects have you done?
These were all the questions asked in Technical Interview. The interviewer asked if I had any questions, and I said no. Then I was told to wait for the HR Round.
The HR Round was conducted the following day. It was a short 10 minute round. The questions in this round included:-
1.Introduce yourself.
2.Do you know who is the current CEO of TCS?
3.What do you know about TCS?
4.Are you ready to relocate?
This was all from my TCS interview. The rounds went well and I got an email some days later that I was shortlisted for the role.
