friendly.
VERBAL SECTION
It consisted of 10 antonyms, 10 synonyms and two passage in which you
have to fill in the blanks with correct sentences. It’s a bit difficult
but don’t worry u can get through even if u don know anything in verbal.

questions were repeated. They don’t even change the data. Some questions
which I remember are given below

24find the result of following expression if M denotes modulus
operation,R denotes round off,T-truncation:

ans:- the formula for finding std.deviation is squre root of summation
(x-(x bar))^2/n,where n is the no. of terms.

how many v's are such that each v is followed by f next to it, if the f
is not followed by f next to it.
31.a power unit is there by the bank of a river 900 mtr wide. a cable is
made from unit to power plant opposite to that of the river and 3000 mtr
away from the power unit. the cost of the cable below water rs 5/mtr.and
cost of cable on the bank is rs 4/mtr.find the point where cable cut
thru river.
ans-2100
32.my flight takes of at 2 am from a place at 18N 40E and landed 10 HRS
later at a place with co-ordinates 36N 40W.WHAT IS THE LOCAL TIME WHEN
MY PLANE LANDED.
a) 2.50 pm,b)6.00 pm, c) 6.40 pm,d)8.00 pm
ans- for every one degree from east to west or west to east there is
time change by 4 minute.if we r going from east to west then subtract
the time otherwise add. here plane is going from 40 dgr east to 40 dgr
west.therefore there is total change of 80 dgr i.e by 80*4=320 minutes
or 5 hrs and 20 minutes.therefore time taken by plane is 2+8-5 hour 20
minutes i.e 6.40 pm.
33. if A,B,C are thr mechanisms used seprately to reduce the wastage of
fuel by 25%,20%,10%. what will be the fuel economy if they will be used
combinedly.
ans- 75/100*80/100*90/100*100=x then ans will be 100-x
34. A graph was given. And equation of the curve was asked.
CRITICAL REASONING
This section consisted of 3 questions wit sub parts. It was for 25 mins.
All the questions were from 12 edition barrons . They don even change
the data and the order of questions. Its just cut copy paste from
BARRONS 12 EDITION. Since it was online test for us so everyone had
different set of questions. I was lucky to get exact same questions from
barrons so I was the first one to come out of the hall with the TCS
application form in the hand.
1. first question was red and brown marriage group……
2. second was tat ned allen larry willy and rick lives in the first
floor
3. third I don remember. But it was something G is father of….and there
are more no of females in the second generation.
TECHNICAL AND HR INTERVIEW
We had the technical cum hr interview the next day. I had in the
afternoon just after lunch. The panel was very friendly and made us feel
very comfortable.
My first question was had u r lunch.
Then they asked general questions like tell me about u r self?
Why t cs? Why Chennai?
Why should we hire you? I said unlike other candidates I want to become
a part of this family of t cs and don’t want to remain a mere employee.
What is u r greatest achievement?
Then questions on c and c++.?
Please remember wether u r a IT or a non IT student they expect u to
have some basic idea about c or c++.
Then he started asking me on maths.trignometry.wat is cosec tan cot ..?
I was interviewed for 25 minutes.but at the end of it I was confident
that I ll get through. Next day when the results were declared I was one
among the 785 students to be selected. just be confident and have a
smile on your face. That is the secret to get through TCS
