TCS PAPER ON 24th MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR
Hello frnds,I am Samir Anand (MCA 4th sem),TCS recruitment team visited
our campus on 24th march, and selected 310 students.It was 2 day
process,written test followed by tech n hr interview (combined). nearly
560 turned up for written test, out of which 502 qualified for the next
round, and finally 310 were selected......
I wud like to share my experience wid all of u .The paper as usual
consisted of 3 sections-
1) VERBAL ( 32 questions )
2) APTITUDE (38 questions )
3) CRITICAL REASONING ( 12 questions )
in the verbal section there were 10 synonyms,10 antonyms,6 sentence
completeion ques and 6 ques on reading comprehension.for this u just
follow GRE Barron 12th edition,each n every ques comes from that
particular book.
this is the exact ques that was in the paper:-(with ans) In a sense the
university had failed. It has stores great quantities of knowledge; it
teaches more people; and despite its failures, it teaches them
better.__D___ . Of the great branches of knowledge- the sciences the
social sciences and humanities- the science are applied. Strenuous and
occasionally successful efforts are made to apply the social sciences,
not almost never are the humanities well applied. We do not use
philosophy in defining our conduct. __E__. The great task of the
university in the next generation is to learn to use the knowledge we
have for the questions that come before us. __F___ The difference
between a primary problem
and a secondary or even tertiary problem is that primary problems tend
to be around for a long time, whereas
the less important ones get solved.
One primary problem is that of interfering with biological development.
___A____. Obviously, there are benefits both to individuals and to
society from eliminating, or at least improving, mentally and physically
deformed persons. On the other hand, there could be very serious
consequences if this knowledge were used with premeditation to produce
superior and subordinate classes, each genetically prepared to carry out
a predetermined mission. __B___, Here we have a primary problem that
will still exist when we are all dead. Of course, the traditional
faculty members would say. “__C____”. And certainly they would not
learn, but they would learn some other things.
A. The next generation, and perhaps this one, will be able to interfere
chemically with the actual development of an individual and perhaps
biologically by interfering with an individual’s genes.
B. This can be done, but what happens to free will and he rights of the
individual
C. But the students won’t learn enough to go to graduate school
D. It is in the application of this knowledge that the failure has come.
E. We do not use literature as a source of real and vicarious
experience.
F. The university should organize should organize courses around primary
problems
G. The universities greatest shortcoming is not to help students see the
relevance of humanities to real problems.
H. It is difficult for modern students, accustomed to the minute of
film, to appreciate opera.
I. It is necessary students to require to include in their curricula
liberal arts courses.
About aptitude, i wud just say no need 2 worry as it is the most easiest
section,just practice papers of last 2 or 3 years and u will be able to
solve all of them on the day of test.
