• TCS NQT.

TCS holds the National Qualifier Test (NQT) to select new candidates for the TCS Ninja, TCS Digital & TCS Prime (this year) roles.

I took the TCS NQT exam on 15^th January 2024. It was an on-campus opportunity.

IT was having 3 sections:

1. Foundation Section

• Foundation Numerical Ability (20 Q, 25 Mins)
• Foundation Verbal Ability (25Q, 25 Mins)
• Foundation Logical Reasoning (20Q, 25 Mins)

2. Advance Section

• Advance Aptitude questions (14Q, 32 Mins)

3. Advance Coding

• 2 Coding Questions: 1 easy and 1 easy – medium (90 Mins)

In numerical ability in was able to solve 9 – 10 questions. The verbal section was a little easy and logical section was of moderate level.

In the advanced section, questions were of level 2 and level 3. Moderate to hard level. I was able to solve 5 – 6 questions in this section.

The coding section was a little easy for me. There were only 2 questions asked and a total of 90 mins of time was given.

Questions:

1. Convert the given matrix into lower triangular matrix. (Easy Level)
2. Given a code word of length s convert into matrix and print the transpose of the matrix.

Conditions: rows of matrix <= sqrt(S) <= cols of matrix

Both the questions were easy for me, and I could solve both of them in 30 minutes.

• Interview

On 5^th February 2024, I got an email from our college TPO, that I got shortlisted for TCS Prime interviews. Along with me 19 more candidates were shortlisted for the Prime Interviews. The interviews were scheduled for 8^th February 2024.

I started my preparation, reviewed, and retouched my resume, brushed-up all the technical subjects and gave multiple mock interviews.

These mock interviews helped me a lot in fine tuning my preparations.

On 8^th February, we were asked to report in our college at 8:40 AM, after 20 minutes, they took our attendance (TCS is very strict about punctuality) and circulated a declaration form that we have to sign and attach with our resume.

The interviews begin at 9:30 AM. There were 2 rounds, Technical + Managerial and HR Round.

The Technical round lasted for around 35 minutes and HR round for 10 minutes.

Technical + Managerial rounds questions:

1. Hardest Coding problem I have solved.
2. Discussion on Generative AI
3. Puzzle
4. What all things have you done apart from our technical skills
5. What if we give you a good salary, say 10 LPA but a ticketing project than what you will do.
6. What if we post you to some location which is not of your choice, how can you adapt yourself over there.
7. Tell me about our family background.
8. Why do you want to join TCS?

HR round questions:

1. What is the meaning of your name?
2. What do you mean by declaration?
3. Whatever information you have filled in your resume, are those correct?
4. Do you have any questions for me?

I was very easily able to give answers to all the above-mentioned questions.

On 10^th February, I got a mail from TCS that I have cleared their interview process and asking for the required documents.
