TCS PAPER ON 3rd NOVEMBER AT HYDERABAD
hi..i am hemanth.i have given TCS interview on NOV 3rd.and i got
selected.i want to share my experience with others so that it can be
very useful for them.i attached one file which describes my experience.
Test was conducted at TCS Hyd campus(E-park).They checked our marksheets
and identity proof to appear for the exam.While writing exam they told
us to switch off the mobiles(strictly) ,who haven't done it are fired
out.(TCS looks for disciplane)
So don't take a chance,follow what they say(even after completing the
exam, donot switch on the mobiles in the exam hall).
In written test(4 me not online )there will be 3 sections
1.Verbal section
a)Synonyms 10
b)Antonyms 10( donot waste time on these)
c)Sentence completion (concentrate on this)
d)Passage 5 ( It makes difference)
Just go through syn n anty, if u know put it otherwise give a
guess...don't waste time on them..
Concentrate more on passage n Sentence Completion.
2.Aptitude
all of them are from previous papers itself.But time factor is main.
The most deciding section in written test is
3.Critical reasoning
