TCS NQT Programming Logic

Interview Experience

Name: Mayur Jain
College: Symbiosis, Pune
Branch: Computer Science
Type of Interview: On-Campus Interview

Student Interview

TCS NQT is one of the most prominent IT Service and Consultation Company. Recently they visited our college for their ON-campus drive. Therefore, along with my classmates I also registered myself through the link provided by our professors. Being a fresher, I was nervous and excited at the same time. I wanted to be well prepared for all the rounds. Hence, I referred through the last year Prepinsta’s TCS NQT preparation material. Unlike other companies, this company had a specific eligibility criterion, which is detailed below:

Eligibility Criteria

The qualifications must be:

Qualification	B.E/B.Tech/M.E/M.Tech/M.Sc/MCA students
Eligible Streams	Every Engineering Streams.
%Criteria	60% in X/XII/UG/Diploma/PG
Backlogs	1 Active Backlog. (To be cleared within the defined period)
Gap Criteria	Overall Gap in Academic Career not to exceed two years

The selection process:

This time TCS changed its selection criteria and introduced a new pattern for both the written test as well as the interview session.

Firstly, there was an online written test in which was divided into four sections whose duration and several questions are detailed below, similar types of questions were there in exam.

Section	Questions	Time
English: Verbal ability questions based on Sentence Completion.	15 Questions	10 mins
Quantitative Time & work Profit & Loss Number, decimal fraction Time, Speed & Distance Geometry, coordinate geometry	15 Questions	30 mins
Programming Concepts: Iteration, recursion, procedural vs Oop. Algorithms Data Structure	10 Questions	20 mins
Coding C/C++ Java Perl Python 2.7	1 Question	30 mins

The second step begun only after clearing the written examination. TCS NQT had made the results very narrow and tough this time and fixed the cut-off rate to 10%. Therefore, only 10% of students got the chance of 2 interviews. Thankfully, all my hard work paid off well, and I got selected for the interview sessions.

Interview- 1:

TCS NQT for Ninja Profile was conducted this interview. It was more of a mixed interview wherein I was asked questions related to Coding, Project details, oops concept and other HR based questions like my Name, Hobbies, my Father’s name, and his occupation, etc.

This round also went pretty well, and eventually, I got selected for the third round, which was the second interview.

Interview- 2:

The second interview as conducted with TCS Digital. Now, this was the most robust round of all. I was asked to provide details about the logging framework, hotfix, NTFs, and the purpose of service pack. I somehow managed to clear both the interview sessions. And finally got selected for the last HR round.

HR Interview

The HR interview was very simple as the HR made me comfortable by first introducing himself and telling me about the company and its projects. He then asked me to introduce myself and asked about my strengths and weakness. Having experience from the previous tests and interviews, clearing this round was more like a cake walk to me. I was selected for the job and the company emailed me the offer letter.

FAQ's

Unlike traditional MCQ Questions where there are options available and we have to select the correct options out of the available options. Box Questions do not have options, we have to enter the exact answer in the box. For example, if a probability question has 1/4 as the answer we have to enter 0.25. These questions do not have negative marking and are of 2 marks. While MCQ questions have only 1 mark and have 0.33 negative markings.

Yes, there is negative marking in the TCS NQT Test: Quants, English and C MCQ section. The penalty is 0.33 marks.

Yes, you need to. Some website say that you don't need to learn command line but you need to. As even though has removed command line programming as coding language from compiler but in C MCQ (Programming Logic) section there will be 1 MCQ question from theory of command line programming.

You can use any of the following -
- C
- C++
- Java
- Perl
- Python

Command-line programming has been removed from TCS but concepts of command-line coding will be asked in C MCQ (programming Logic) section
