Aptitude mainly consist of 3 section
a) VERBAL (English)
Some general SYNONYMS+ANTONYMS see the last year papers well I remember few

• ATTENUATE
• PLAINTATIVE
• ONUS

 Tata Consultancy Test Pattern

TCS Test Pattern:

It was an online exam…. Test Consists of 3 Sections… + Psychometric Test

1. Test on Synonyms and Antonyms (40 questions, 20 minutes: Also Q’s on Sentence Completion).
2. Aptitude Test (32 questions, 40 minutes: General Questions on Mathematics).
3. Critical Reasoning (30 Minutes: 3 Analysis Paragraphs and 12 questions Relating them).
4. Psychometric Test (150 Questions, 30 minutes: only if you Qualify in the above tests).

Details about How to Prepare for the above tests:

1. Verbal Ability:
This Test contains Synonyms & Antonyms…Almost all of them were From GRE BARRON’S 12th Edition &
upward…30-50% of them will be repeated from previous TCS papers. Few Questions on Sentence Completion
were also there..for these also refer BARRON’S.
NOTE: During the Exam..you should be careful..because on the computer screen the names Synonyms &
Antonyms will be placed side by side so that we may by mistake choose an antonym instead of a synonym…so
Be Careful..

2. Aptitude Test:

This test will consist of very general questions…This is the easiest section Compared to the Other Two. Almost
70-80 Questions will be repeated from the Previous TCS Papers…just learn the method from those
papers..same model will be given..(This happened almost all the times). If you have time refer to any Aptitude
book of your interest…it may be R.S.AGARWAL or any Other……

3. Critical Reasoning:
Here Starts your Problems…30 Minutes…12 questions..don’t think that there is a lot of Time..these will
be somewhat tougher those who has some touch with such kind..and will be Very Tough.. if you haven’t seen
this kind before..so,you should have some practice relating this kind of questions… 3 paragraphs will be
given.. 3X4.. 12 questions.. first 2 paragraphs will be some twisty questions… like our arrangements
questions… routes between cities.. like that… and the last one will be on Data Interpretation…

You prepare Data Interpretation again from BARRON’S…. but the remaining from R.S.AGARWAL-Reasoning….
Or from Barron’s 13th Edition

4. Psychometric Test:
This test comes up only if you qualify in the Aptitude test… This test consists of 150 questions which we should
answer in 30 minutes (of course, that much time is not required) Don’t think that this test has no weightage..
there is filtering in this test too… this test tests your psychology.. Remember among 150 many questions
were asked again & again in a
variety of ways.. so don’t get trapped… be honest while attempting this test.. choose what you’re your heart
says.. it will take you through the test..
This ends the Tests……
INTERVIEWS:
Now if you are Alive Even after All these tests….then you have to face a Technical Interview…
It may be on the same day of the Test.. so be Prepared in Advance…..
The Interview will be done by a Panel of 2 members…. No need to worry.. They will be Very supporting &
Friendly.. First they ask us to Introduce ourselves… then they’ll go into your project details… don’t forget to
prepare project…. They mainly concentrate on your project only…so be confident on every aspect of your
project… then you should have some basic knowledge on C language. There will be some questions like “what
is the o/p of this code?”, “what are the errors in the code?”..like that… so be prepared for all the basic
concepts.. If needed you have to write some small codes too.. at the end they will ask some general questios
like “Why TCS?”, “Where do you see yourself in the next five years?”, “do you have any questions?”, try ask
some questions… it shows your interest in the Company..

HR:
Now if Chase this one too…. Then comes your Final Attack.. the HR Round… I many times heard that “I failed
in HR round!”.. likewise anwers…. But you should not fail in it.. because it involves no technical questions… it
just dwell into your innerself… so, be confident and frank while facing this round…They generally ask
questions like “Tell about yourself?”, “Who r your role models?”, “What is your weakness?”, don’t say “I Have
no weakness!”, just prepare a small weakness for yourself that causes no harm to your future…O.K.. “What is
your mother tongue?”

if your Academic background is good.. be prepared to face some Techies here too….

TCS Placement Paper 27th Feb 2008

HI Guys This is MANSOOR student of Electronics & Communication from Guru Nanak Institute Of Tech ……….TCS
came to our campus on 27/02/08….. I know u don’t wanna know who I m…So Let me come straight to the point…..

The paper was divided into 3 sections…

1) ENGLISH,
2) QUANTITUDE,
3) LOGICAL REASONING -Puzzle part…..
It was an online test so u didn’t have the choice to choose a part in which u r comfortable in,u have to start with
English, then Quant and then Puzzle….

For ENGLISH see the ANTONYM given in (Barron's Gre (12th edition) Chapter-6 Antonym Exercise) some of the
words I can remember are 1) GAUCHE- lacking social polish, 2)DISCREETNESS- prudence, 3)CHURLISH- rude

There were also couple of passages(where u have to fill the missing sentences) which were a bit tricky so I will
advice u guys to solve that first and den come to Synonyms and Antonyms (which are 10 each in total)

For QUANT some of them were quite easy such as

1) Interchange “MEASUREMENTS” the first with 2nd letter, 3rd with 4th and so on., and den get the 12th letter
from right
Ans :) E

2) There was a table where for certain values of X., there were some values of Y…
Ans :) y=log(x)

3) How many zeros are there in 100!

Ans ;) 24(get LCM of 100 and add the no.’s)

4) the sides are given which triangle is not possible……..

(A) (2,3,6) (B) (3,2,4) (C) (3,4,5) (D) (3,3,3) (E) (5,3,5)

Some other Q’s were:

5) Select the odd one out
a. Oracle b. Linux c. Ingress d. DB2
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->

6) Select the odd one out

a. SMTP b. WAP c. SAP d. ARP

7) Select the odd man out.

a. Java b. Lisp c. Smalltalk d. Eiffel

Some of the other questions were exactly of the same pattern like previous years papers (Data’s are changed of
course)…

Say it finding the no.’s from one base to another as in NUMBER SYSTEM, STANDARD DEVIATION, PROFIT AND
LOSS, PERCENTAGE, PROBABLITY, TIME AND WORK, NUMBERS, AVERAGE.AGES, RATIO AND PROPORTION,
ALLIGATION OR MIXTURE, SIMPLE INTEREST, COMPOUND INTERSET, PERMUTATION & COMBINATION etc

For PUZZLE part it was exactly from Barron's Model Test papers (Data’s not changed)..it was basically from
model test papers.

Model test 1- Section 5: 1-4, 5-6, 8-12, 13-16, Section 6: 8-11, 12-18, 19-22
Model test 2-Section 1: 1-4, 12-18, 19-22, Section 6: 8-12, 13-16, 24-25
Model test 4- Section 5: 8-11, Section 6: 8-12
Model test 5- Section 3: 1-4, 8-11, 23-25, Section 7: 1-5, 6-9, 16-20, 21-25

When I cleared my aptitude I was quite relieved

Then I went for my interview at around 8.00pm HR and TECHNICAL was taken together…first of all I was made

to wait for around 7 min outside the room which was quite nerve wrecking and then it started
Me:) Good Evening Sir
Interviewer) Nodded and asked me to sit
Interviewer) Tell me about urself
Me) Told with poised…
Interviewer) asked me about my favourite subject
Me) Digital Electronics
Interviewer) OK tell me the diff between a digital and analog signal
Me) explained with diagrams
Interviewer) What is the discrete value of a digital system
Me) 0 and 1 Sir
Interviewer) OK tell me where u do u see yourself in next five years
Me) Told
Interviewer) what kinds of transistors are there
Me) about to say but another sir came in and interrupted me and den he asked
Interviewer) What do you mean by AM and FM
Me) Explained
Interviewer) have u seen a radio and how we have to tune it…what exactly happens:
Me) explained with élan
Interviewer) Do you know about Mobile Communication
Me) A bit sir… but not in details as I will study this in the next semester
Interviewer) Do you know HLR or something
Me) I didn’t understand as it was from Mobile Communication but I told him about CDMA technique coding, PCM
etc So he got impressed and asked me
Interviewer) OK u know ur subject lets go into programming language… Which language u know ?
Me) C
Interviewer) OK what is meant by local, global, static variable, what is static global variable (everything abt
storage class)
Me) explained thoroughly
Interviewer) Do u know pointers
Me) Yes sir
Interviewer) Take two pointers string and concatenate them
Me) I did it with strcat()
Interviewer) very smart
Interviewer) Do it without using functions
Me) I tried.. but couldn’t get it
Interviewer) then asked me to declare integer and assign an integer pointer and then print the post increment of
it and get the output
Me) done
Interviewer) do you why have we asked u to fill the languages column
Me) said because of some preferences and topographical restrains…
Interviewer) was satisfied and ……….shook hands

When the result was declared I felt like floating in the sky… it was an out of this world kind of feeling

My advice will be to all aspirants is that back ur knowledge…ur ability and belief in urself…try to get the first few
lines in the interview to be perfect and rest u will sail through….

NOTE: For Non CSE students my advice is to know ur core subjects properly and hav only sound knowledge of C,
data structures etc.

Hope to meet in TCS…….Have a nice day

TCS Placemnt Paper,18th March 2008

Hi ,I am Hardik B Korat, a computer engg. student of BIRLA VISHWAKARMA MAHAVIDHYALAYA, Vallabh

Vidhya nagar… I would like to share my expereince during TCS On-Campus Interview.

TCS written test is easy if u concentrate little on it.

WRITTEN Test:
· Read previous 10 paper and I m sure that u will clear written test……
· There is no negative markings, no upper cut off, no sectional cut off
· But there is sectional time cut off, as there is online test.

There are basically 3 parts in written

a) Verbal :
There prepare antonyms and synonyms from previous papers. After that two paragraphs are given in that
section. Totally 32 marks in this section. Concentrate little in this part because this is some what difficult to
answer depend much on luck.

b) Arithmetic ability:
This is the easiest section where we can get good score. It is enough to prepare previous papers, they just
change the digits and the model is same. There are some problems from Bar and Pie Chart. If u score above
32 out of 38, I m damm sure that u will clear the written.

Few were like….

1. 58, 27, 12, __, 2 .

Sol. 27*2+4 = 58, 12*2+3 = 27, 5*2+2 = 12, 2*2+1 = 5, 1*2+0 = 2 ….ans = 5

2. How the given string how many Y’s are followed by L that are not followed by
PYLYPQMYLPMLYLLYQMYYLQYLPLYAMLYLM Sol. Only count those pair by YL and discard pairs of YLP
……..ans =4.

3. First & second, third and fourth, fifth and sixth letter of word SENSATIONALY are interchanged find the
12th letter form right.
Sol. The interchanged word is ESSNTAIONALY. Now start counting frm Right the 12th letter is E.

4. What is the largest prime number which can be stored in 6 bit register?
Sol. As the register is 6 bit long we can store max number 63 (if all bits are 1).But 63 is not prime the largest
prime number is 61.
Ans = 61.
5) Number of faces, vertices and edges of a cube
Ans. 6, 8, 12

6. If g(0) = 1, g(1) = -1 and g(n) = g(n-1)-g(n-2) then calculate g(6).

Sol. Start with g(2) = g(1) + g(0) = -1 - 1 = -2, g(3) = g(2) + g(1) = -2+1 = -1, g(4) = g(3) + g(2) = -1+1 =
0, g(5) = g(4) + g(3) = 0+1 = 1, g(6) = g(5) + g(4) = 1-0 = 1
ans = 1.

7. which of the following heaving highest standard deviation.

a. 9,0,9,0,9,0 b. 9,-9,0,9,0,-9 c. 9,-9,9,-9,9,-9 d. 9,9,9,9,9,9
Ans. C, standard deviation is 18(i.e. the difference between two consecutive terms is highest).

8. Find the result of the following expression- M (737, 7) +R (3.4) +T (7. 7)-R (6.4) if, M denotes modules
operation, R denotes round-off, T denotes truncations?
Sol): 2+3+7-6 = 6

9. In a city, temperature at noon varies according to -t^2/6 + 4t + 12, where t is elapsed time. Find the
percentage change in temperature from 3pm. to 6 pm.
Sol): In equation first put t=3,
we will get 25.5........................... (1)
Now put t=6,
we will get 42.............................. (2)
So %change = ((42-25.5)/42)*100)
=39.3

10. Find d Odd one out? a. Oracle b. Linux c. Ingress d. DB2

Ans. All other except Linux which is an operating system are Database Management Systems.

Etc………

C) Critical Reasoning:
In this section there will be 3 passages and questions on it. So, we have to prepare the GRE Barron’s book
either 12th or 13th edition. All will come from that only.

Out of 250 students, 150 cleared written test…. So, all the best guys…..

Next I had Technical round on 19th march 2008.

Technical Round:

For this prepare well your academic subjects. They can ask on any one and u should able to answer. I have
prepared just C, C++, DS.

Take care that ur resume is the best if ur technical knowledge is not much good. Add something in ur resume
that attracts interviewer to ask u.

If u lead ur interview in the way u want, it would impress the interviewer…

We were having presentation of t.c.s. at 9.30 am. in morning. Please attend this presentation. My turn came at
12.20pm.

I was first to be interviewed in my block. Be confident, they don’t see whether u are best in technical or not.
They will definitely select u, if u have positive approach and confidence.
The interviewer called me and started interview…
· Interviewer will judge u within a minute u enter the room. So be confident and show them that u will fit best
in their company.
· Please take care to wish the interviewer properly.
· tell me about urself ?
· 3 ques on dbms? (like dml, rdbms…).
· Strength, weakness? (explained all well).
· Explain Hacking? (que was asked as I had mentioned in my resume—explined for 6 min).
· Ques on wi-fi tech, online file sharing, code ragging- all included in my resume. (explained all well, thus
spent 15 min).
· Be prepared for ques like- why tcs?, why should we select u?, which position in tcs?
· Please do ask a question at last if interviewer tells “do u have any question?”.

Blockwise results were declared, nd I got result at 2pm. Out of 150 students 70 cleared technical round.

HR INTERVIEW:

On same day at 2.30pm, I had filled a form and was called at hr interview. There were more technical ques
compared to hr. ques.
In this round u will get the same questions as have been asked till now e.g.
“tell me abt urself “
“ ur family background “
favourite subjects.

TCS General Interview Questions, 25th March 2008

Well guys !!!TCS recruited perhaps the highest number of students from our college i.e KIIT and the figure is
310 to be precise..Around 500 had qualified for the interview (HR and Tech combined) from 550 who were
allowed to write the written test. And not to mention I was one of the lot. Thanks to all the papers uploaded on
this site by numerous people .I am not uploading my written test paper because all the questions were
same .But u must be cautious while reading as they have changed the values .They have prepared a same set
of questions with values changed and the same questions are being given all over india.So my suggestion for
the written are simple. Just solve 2-3 papers uploaded on this site and i believe u will be through the written
test. For L.R section just go through barron's 12th edition .Same for the comprehension

Now comes the P.I. part. Luckily I had H.R and tech combined .In case u don't no need to worry ..Just go
through the basics of whatever fav subjects u r going to mention.U never no which panel u would get. In some
panel they would only H.R and in some other only Tech. So it all depends.They may not ask u form ur fav
subjects and at the same time they may ask about NEWTON's laws of motion, gauss law ,faraday law etc.So u
see u need to know abt the basics and some indepth knowledge abt ur fav. subjects.It may happen that they
may not ask for for ur subjects.It depends.....
So I am only going to tell u abt my interview experience I gave my P.I to a lady and don't take her for
granted ....

Lady:: so tell me abt urself which is not mentioned in ur resume.

me:: told abt my hostel life
Lady:: so what is the best part of hostel life?
me:: told something abt unity,to adapt
Lady: :if someone does a wrong thing( in a workplace) what would u do
me:: told
lady:: draw the architecture of 8085 mp
me:: did and explained too(u should)
lady: diff between c nd c++
me:: told
lady:: diff between linux and windows( i had done a project on linux)
me: :told
lady:: some more questions abt my project
lady:: name first 10 elements of periodic table(where did this come from)
me: could tell only first five but told sorry
lady:: tell me newton's first law and 2nd law
me: :told both
lady:: who is the CEO of TCS
me:: mr s rama dorai
lady:: what do u know abt TCS
me:: told what i had gathered frm net(u must listen at the presentation)
lady::: some questions on hobbies what do u generally blog abt
me: :told
lady:: are u on orkut
me:: yes mam
lady:: how many hrs do u spent on orkut
me:: defended myself by saying that i visit only when any notification abt new scraps come into my mail
lady:: seems satisfied
lady:: u can ask any question
me :: asked abt recession
end of the interview

One sincere advice to all of u . You must know each and everything u mention on ur resume .Speak well and
support with examples. don' have a rigid stance .Brush up ur fundamentals I am frm ETC department so
people from my department need to know simple programs in c and concepts of c++. thats it from myself
Best of luck . Remenber TCS is not the end .

Critical reasoning : 3 passages, 12 questions, 30 minutes

Suggestion: Do all the 250 critical reasoning passages from barrons 12th or 13th edition model test papers 1

my passages were:
1. armenian, latin, celtic language courses......

announced on 13th march. i m giving some ques which i remember.

1.Which shape will be obtained by using the following values for X and Y

X 0 10 100 1000 9999

Y 0.00001 1.02 1.72 3.00 4.72

Ans: Y= log10(X)

2.What is the value of the following expression M(373,5)+T(7.7)+R(4.4)-T(3.6)

Where M- MODULAS R- ROUNDOFF T- TRUNCATE (Ans: 11) Sol: 3 + 7+ 4 - 3 ==11

3 What is the value of the expression % # % (6) + # % # (6)

Where % means DOUBLING and # means RECIPROCAL

4 Match the following (this type of question but not same)

A B

1. Mammal, cow ---> a. A type of

2. Snake reptile ---> b. A part of
3. Roof - Building ---> c. Not a type of
4. Mushroom - Vegetables ---> d. A superset of

(Ans: 1-d, 2-c, 3-b, 4-a)

5.If G(0) = -1 G(1)= 1 and G(N)=G(N-1) - G(N-2) then what is the value of G(6)?(Ans: -3)

Sol: g(2)=g(1)-g(0) ==1-(-1)=2, similarly g(3),…g(6);

6. If A= 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1

B= 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1

C= 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1

Then find the value of [A U C] U B and express it in decimal.

7.If A, B, C are the mechanisms used separately to reduce the wastage of fuel by 30%, 40%, 10%.What will be
the fuel economy if they were used combine?
1.68.4 2.62.2 3.58 4.27 (Ans: 62.2)

sol: (70/100)*(60/100)*(90/100)*100=37.8 Eco = (100-37.8) =62.2

8. In Madras , temperature at noon varies according to t^2/2 + 4t + 12 (Read is as: t square /2 + 4t +12),
where t is elapsed time. Find how much percentage of temperature is increased (or decreased) between 5pm
and 8pm. (HINT: substitute&subtact values from 5 to 8)

9 The size of a program is N. And the memory occupied by the program is given byM = square root of 100N. If
the size of the program is increased by 1% then how much more memory is required now?

a) 1.0% b) 2.6% c) 0.5% d)1.4% e)2.7% ans .5%

10 A power unit is there by the bank of a river of 900 meters. A cable is made from power unit to power a
plant opposite to that of the river of 2000mts. The cost of the cable below water is Rs. 5/- per meter and cost
of cable on the bank is Rs. 4/- per meter. Then find out the amount to be invested to connect those two
stations. (Ans8500)

11 A sequence of letters is given. We’ve to find out how many V’s are there under the condition that, S should
