Let's get Started
As with any company's recruitment process, the HR round is the last round and this is
true for TCS' recruitment as well. Over the past fi y years, Tata Consultancy Services
(TCS) has been assisting many of the world's leading organizations in their
transformation efforts.
TCS is one of the top IT services, consulting, and business solutions firms in the
world and has offices across the world. Whether you are a fresher or an experienced
professional, the TCS HR interview is an integral part of your overall assessment.
HR interviews are o en seen as straightforward, however, if you fail the HR interview,
it will ruin your chances of being hired even if you have cleared all of the other
hurdles (the aptitude/written test, the technical round, etc.). TCS HR professionals
may ask you tricky questions during the HR interview so they can evaluate your basic
skills as well as clarify the points you mentioned on your resume. In any case,
remember that nothing beats preparation and it's important to plan how to respond
to the tricky questions so that you can answer them confidently.

TCS HR Interview Questions: Freshers and

Experienced
1. Tell me about yourself.

 TCS HR Interview Questions

Start with your greatest achievements.

Give your in-depth answer in two-three minutes.
Point out what you want to be highlighted on your resume.
Mention how you got to this point in your career and why it's the perfect fit.
Don't overwhelm the interviewer with too many details, but don't leave
important ones out.
Although you must prepare your answer in advance, do not sound robotic. Give
a straightforward, friendly, and confident answer.
Make sure you use the appropriate terminology in your response like innovative,
problem-solving, fast-paced, creative, etc.
Conclude your response by explaining why you are interested in the position.

2. What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Answering this question requires skill and ingenuity. With this question, you will be
able to acknowledge weaknesses that you look forward to improving. Public
speaking, time management, self-criticism, etc., are some common areas of
weakness that will not negatively reflect on your selection. The tone should be
positive. Always speak only of true forces and never state strengths that you cannot
verify. Avoid saying anything that could adversely affect your selection.
Tips:
Don't mask a strength as a weakness, instead, mention and address those you
could improve.
Provide a thoughtful and honest response that emphasizes the areas of
weakness that are easily remedied.
This is not a question to confess your struggle with meeting deadlines or can't
master high school math. Rather, use these questions as a tool to your
advantage. It could be that, for instance, you are overambitious, have a high
degree of attention to detail, or enjoy taking on too many tasks.

3. What are the competitors of TCS globally and in India?

 TCS HR Interview Questions

Keeping an eye on the current market will definitely help. The key to an impressive
answer is sound research, and this also shows the interviewer that you are concerned
about the interview as well as the job. For example, Wipro, Mahindra Satyam, Tech
Mahindra, Infosys, HCL Tech, Mphasis, etc.

4. Who is the founder of TCS?

TATA Group was founded by Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata in 1869 as a private
organization. Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata (JRD Tata) was the driving force
behind the expansion of this group into TCS, which was established in 1968. At the
present time, Mr Natarajan Chandrasekaran is the Chairman of the TCS.

5. How do you envision yourself five years from now?

O en, employers will ask this question to determine whether you are committed to
the company and if you have future goals aligned with the position. Employers want
to know that the job will satisfy you, that you'll work hard, and that you'll stay with
the company for many years. Although it's not possible to know entirely envision
yourself five years from now, being prepared to answer this question will help put you
on the right track and help make the interview more productive overall.
Tips
Take a moment to consider where you'd like to be in five years of your career. If
you prepare yourself for this ahead of time, you will be able to talk about the
question confidently.
Speak with a slight sense of ambition. It may seem simplistic, but it's true: for an
interview, all you need to do is say something a little challenging, but still
reasonable.
Finally, ensure that you can explain how the job that you are interviewing for fits
within the context of your five-year career objective. Otherwise, they may
wonder whether you really want the job and if you are capable of staying for a
longer period of time.

6. Who inspired you to be an engineer?

Page 6 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 TCS HR Interview Questions

Typically, employers ask this question in order to better understand your motivations
for applying for the position. Additionally, employers may utilize this question to
learn how you interact with those around you. This question can help you articulate
your desire to obtain the job you are interviewing for, as well as your values.
Tips
Do not go into too much detail.
Consider a few industry leaders who have achieved something extraordinary in
their lives. You may choose someone with the same values as your own. You may
list one person whose life story you know and holds the same values,
mentioning his accomplishments.
Include some of his quotes or values that he believes contributed to his
extraordinary success.
Mention the traits and qualities you possess which will be valuable to your
success in the position you are interviewing for. Incorporate those values and
behaviours into how they affect your professional life.

7. What will you do if you are rejected today?

This does not mean that they are rejecting you, so do not let your discouragement
get the better of you. Candidates are o en asked this question to discern whether or
not they will get frustrated and depressed a er rejection, or if they will learn from
their mistakes and reapply. Also, they may want to know if you have applied to any
other companies or if you are determined to join TCS. You will not be rejected either
way, as long as your answer is positive.
Tips
An interviewer is not concerned with how many mistakes you have made, but
rather how you have learned from them and incorporated them into your next
attempt. Let the interviewer know you intend to improve your skills and will try
again with better skills.
Don't appear disappointed, but be honest about your feelings. Say that you will
see rejection as a challenge and will overcome it.

8. Are you interested in changing your domain? If yes, why?

Page 7 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 TCS HR Interview Questions

Typically, this question is more pertinent for individuals who are switching careers
between two different domains, such as engineers moving from other domains to the
field of Data Science or Management. The interviewer will want to make sure you
aren't leaving your job due to poor performance, a difficult working relationship, or a
dislike for your boss. Answering questions about why you are switching domains is a
great means of providing reassurance that you are leaving for the right reasons, not
just to get out of a work situation.
Tips
Focus on the positive reasons why you wish to work for the organization.
Cite factors like the company culture, work environment, and employer that
match your interests and skills.
Putting your potential employer at the forefront of the conversation redirects
the conversation from your past work experience to your potential. It also shows
the hiring manager that you've done your research before the interview.
Do not discuss the negative aspects of your previous employment. The only
exception would be if your industry suffered a downturn and faced layoffs,
reduced opportunities, etc.

9. What has been TCS's most recent accomplishment?

The Brand Finance 2022 Rankings show Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) brand value
increased by $1.8 billion over the past year, moving into the top two IT services
brands globally. TCS's strong financials, customer equity, and investments in the
brand are contributing to the rise in brand value.

10. What is your previous work experience and role?

The job you're applying for will come with its own set of responsibilities that you'll be
expected to carry out, so your prior work experience can assist your interviewer in
gauging whether you are suitable for the position. Though your work history can be
seen on your application, your ability to summarise it and relate it to the position
shows that you have considered the employer's expectations.
Tips

Page 8 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 TCS HR Interview Questions

Get familiar with the position's responsibilities in order to best showcase your
abilities.
Moreover, you can tie your experience directly to the position's responsibilities.
Assess your application materials to determine which of your past experiences
correspond to those described in the job description.
Rephrase your resume items to match the new position's requirements. If you
practice, you can avoid omitting relevant information, remain concise, and
sound conversational.

11. How well do you know TCS as a company?

Employers can afford to be picky when securing top talent in a competitive job
market. Rather than simply choosing candidates with experience or high education,
the company prefers to hire individuals passionate about the organization and who
apply to a position for a specific reason. Obviously, if you spent time researching and
preparing for the interview, you are likely to do the same with the day-to-day
activities and responsibilities associated with the position. Candidates who are well
prepared are likely to be ambitious and committed to their professional
development.
Tips
Always do some research on the company for which you are interviewing. Study
the organization, discover what it offers, how big or small the company is, why a
position is needed, what challenges the company is facing, and what the hiring
manager's role is.
Be enthusiastic and show your interest. Communicate your desire to join the
organisation in an authentic and genuine way.
Talk about the company's services, landmarks in its history, and aspects of its
mission and values that are relevant to your career goals.

12. Would you mind working night shi s and relocating?

Page 9 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 TCS HR Interview Questions

In a nutshell, the answer depends entirely on you. Simply be honest with yourself.
The question is intended to determine whether you can make it to the office if you do
not live nearby and if you are willing to work a night shi . TCS has centres across the
various countries and in some states, there is more than one centre. Thus, joining it
does not pose a problem at all. Although some offices do have specific positions that
are for one type of job profile. You can answer the question depending on your
situation.

13. What makes you the best candidate for this position? Or
Why should we hire you?
Interviewers ask this question to figure out whether you are aware of how your skills,
experience, and education are aligned with the job's responsibilities. Applicants
should be prepared to communicate why they are the right fit for the position and
the company, highlighting specific accomplishments and characteristics that will
make them an asset to the company. When answering such a question, you should
try to convince the hiring manager that you are a unique candidate who stands out
from the rest.
Tips
By analyzing your experience and job requirements, you can learn more about
your unique strengths. If possible, express enthusiasm and provide evidence to
back up your answers.
Despite your experience not being directly relevant, you can still find some value
in it. Highlight your teamwork skills, leadership roles, computer skills, and
independent research activities that have proven useful to the job at hand, even
if you lack direct experience.
Check the job description and do some research on the company. Outline how
your skills and qualifications align with the daily responsibilities of the position
in addition to the mission and goals of the company as a whole.
Practice answering the question naturally and confidently. Your answer should
not sound rehearsed and forced, but you need to know in advance how you will
respond.

 TCS HR Interview Questions

14. What's most important to you? Work or Money?

Interviewers want to know how you prioritize money in your decisions, both for
accepting the position and for future consideration regarding retention. Answering
the right way can make your passions seem like the best fit for the job. Money should
not be dismissed out of hand, but neither should it be the top priority. The best
approach is to keep things in perspective. Obviously, money is important - no one
works for free, a er all - but the satisfaction you derive from your work, your
coworkers, and your boss ranks higher. You will soon learn in your career that growth
and advancement opportunities are more important in the long run.
Tips
Hiring managers tend to prefer candidates who place a higher priority on their
work than their paycheck. Additionally, they are aware that money is an
important aspect of their lives as well. Combining these two motivations can
help you to give your best answer.
Make sure you point out personal interests and goals that align with the
company's mission statement, as well as your desire to earn a reasonable wage.
Never tell an interviewer that you are more concerned about money than work.
It implies that you may leave the company if a more lucrative opportunity
emerges.

15. Why do you wish to work for TCS and not any other
company?
TCS is a leading company in the world with high salaries, professional growth, and
job security. Consequently, if you are interested in working for the company, it is a
good decision. As long as these are the only reasons, then it's not what TCS is looking
for. It goes without saying that TCS wants you to grow while making your most
valuable contribution to the company's success.
Tips

 TCS HR Interview Questions

Discover various facts about the company, its business, its people, its culture,
and more. For this, one needs to do a great deal of research. Your research
ultimately provides you with insight into how to respond to the interview
questions and why you are interested in working at TCS.
Consider what you could offer and how you can make a difference.
Follow the company's social media accounts, especially for relevant industry
news and customer feedback.
Analyze your career goals and core values to see whether they are similar to the
companies.

16. Do you work well as part of a team? OR Have you ever

managed a large team or group of people effectively? OR Are
you a team player?
Typically, when hiring managers ask this question, they hope to gauge your skills in
collaboration, communication, and the ability to work well with others. Essentially,
they would like to see if you would be a suitable candidate for the position and to see
if you adhere to the company's values and culture. If possible, in conjunction with
providing a clear yes or no response, you should also provide anecdotes or examples
of how your answer applies to the case.
Tips

 TCS HR Interview Questions

Find out what skills, duties, and qualifications are relevant to the role you're
applying for, including any mention of collaboration, teamwork, or
communication.
Choose a few examples from your professional experience that demonstrate
your ability to work as a team player. It is particularly beneficial to highlight your
role in the team effort, your contribution, and what your team achieved.
Besides teamwork, it is a good idea to emphasize other skills, such as
adaptability, communication skills, collaboration, interpersonal abilities,
observation abilities, active listening abilities, etc.
When you respond that you prefer to work alone, emphasize how your singular
efforts could assist the team in achieving its objectives.
If you lack professional experience, you can draw upon extracurricular activities,
volunteer experience, and school projects if you are in a space that needs to be
filled.

17. How do you stay abreast of technological developments?

Keeping up with technology can make you a more effective employee, regardless of
whether you work in coding, manufacturing products, or reaching out to customers.
Potential employers will assess your 'fit' by determining whether you are passionate
about the industry you are applying to. By freely discussing how you stay on top of
industry trends, you will show the interviewer that you are still passionate about your
field.
Tips

online for a balanced perspective.
Conferences provide an excellent opportunity to discover emerging technology
that is relevant to your industry. Listen to industry experts, participate in
seminars, and discuss products with vendors.
Arrange periodic meetings with coworkers, colleagues from other departments,
and industry professionals to discuss technology.
Startups are o en hubs for innovation. Follow start-up news feeds and connect
with their employees to keep abreast of new technological trends in your
industry.
See how other departments or industries are using technology. Seeing what
other successful companies are doing with technology can give you ideas for
incorporating it into your company.
When evaluating new technologies, consider whether they can meet your
company's current or future needs. In the workplace, even the most innovative
product may not be necessary unless it serves a purpose.

18. In what ways did you prepare for this interview, and did you
receive any help?
As the interviewer asks these questions, he is attempting to assess whether you are
an individual who takes initiative. When you describe the steps you took to prepare
for your meeting, interviewers can see that you are highly motivated to obtain the
position. Also, your response will indicate that you will likely be a thorough and
diligent employee. Although you may not have had time to prepare for this meeting,
or it was a last-minute appointment, it is likely you still took the time to investigate
the company online or read the job description. You can briefly outline the ways in
which you prepared for the interview.

19. What do you expect from the company?

Page 14 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 TCS HR Interview Questions

A prospective employer may be looking for several factors when asking you what
your job expectations are. In asking you about your job expectations, employers are
really looking for information about how you met your expectations in your previous
role, or what you expect from us as an employer in terms of work environment,
culture, and growth, as well as your expectations related to this position. The
information you share will be used to determine if the role you're applying for is a
good match for your career goals and qualifications.
Tips:
Initially, it is important to research and learn what the job entails and determine
if you are capable or interested in doing it. Explain to the interviewer what you
believe the job expects of you.
Ideally, we would like to obtain a position in which we could utilize our existing
skills.
Hence, you should let the interviewer know how your current skills are relevant
to this job. Indicate which of your skills are relevant to this position.
Upbeat responses to prior experiences show the interviewer you have the ability
to find the positives despite tough situations and ensure them that you will not
speak negatively of the company in the future.
The intent of your reply should not be to ramble on for too long, but to highlight
one specific area and outline your expectations there.

20. Is there anything you would like to ask me?

HR professionals will o en ask this question in an effort to determine if the candidate
is truly interested in learning more. It's better to ask a question rather than politely
demur, otherwise you can give an impression that you are not engaged with the
conversation, or that you are not enthusiastic enough about the job to ask for more
information.
Tips

 TCS HR Interview Questions

Questions should demonstrate your interest in the interview and your
understanding of the company's objectives and priorities. Reflect on previous
moments in the interview or the news of the company or market.

'yes' or 'no' answer.

 TCS HR Interview Questions

Prepare well: Finding a suitable career requires a lot of commitment, time, and
effort on the part of the individual. A little bit of preparation can significantly
increase the likelihood of getting through an interview. While it may seem
laborious, it is totally worth it.
Focus on the basics: Research the company, become familiar with its product
offerings, understand how your experience aligns with its requirements, and
why you are a good fit. Consider studying technical subjects and preparing
answers to the most common questions encountered during technical and HR
interviews.
Express yourself: When you are solving a problem, you need to discuss your
alternative solutions before you decide to use one or the other. This will enable
the interviewer to view and understand how you approach the problem and how
you work with it.
Be Confident: Do not be low on confidence, honesty, or faith in yourself. You can
do it and do it well. Having faith in yourself means you have already achieved
half of the task at your disposal. Keep a positive attitude at all times and smile
o en.
Make it Perfect: Generally, employers are only interested in reviewing resumes
and cover letters that are well-formatted, error-free, and fault-free. Resumes
should be tailored to the specific position you've applied for, emphasizing
relevant work experience and academic achievements.
Keep answers concise: You need to focus on the essential solution instead of
adding an unnecessary phrase or word. Avoid giving irrelevant responses or
asking irrelevant questions. An interviewer who sees you engage in this
behaviour will put a negative mark on your scorecard.
