First of all I am glad to say that I belong to the family of TATAs. Thank god for giving me such an Awesome Opportunity.TCS was honored with the award of Best pattern for conducting Interviews ahead of other companies.
Coming to my Experience of Written Test at the first glance I felt gloom by the size of the Questions , but soon I was able to recover and moved up with my approach which I have gained from the experience of writing GRE,CAT,MAT. Yup..Finally the exam time is up and we went off. Now my watch ticked 7 O’ clock. You may think what’s new in that…but it was the time when written test results were declared. Finally I got through which I was never expected.
The next day morning was the Technical round, followed my Managerial round and finally HR. It was the time when all of us felt very tensed as we have not at all prepared for the technical round. Overnight I have to cover all my core subjects , my project , paper presentations, certifications etc… and many more. Oops..!! what to do…however I have just touched and left everything remained for my fate. I couldn’t sleep at all on 30th night.
Technical round was scheduled at 9.00A.M. As usual I was late even for that meet too. Born habits can never be eliminated naa. My actual preparation for Technical round was started at that time only. All my friends were going and coming and I was busy in gathering questions from them and at the same time busy in finding answers for them. Mine was the last person to call for Technical. I was confident enough as I am with all the questions that were asked earlier. But…To my surprise and intense bad luck none of the questions were matched with what I have prepared. However I could manage and clear off that round only because of my confidence which I have gained as I assume that I know everything as I have collected enough info from my friends.. My dear pals..confidence obviously plays a vital role to reach your goal..So be confident or at least act confident even if you don’t know anything. The interviewers are much friendlier than your best friend. Its true. But don’t forget to think that they were Interviewers…not common people..They were tactful enough to acquire your inner feelings only when you feel that they are friendly..
Let me explain with the incident in my Technical round. I was asked to write a program..While I was thinking for that one of the two persons threw a pencil on to the ground. I took it off and gave it to him. At that instant I could recollect the point that I have done a mistake as my senior said they used to do such things to divert you attention. It was repeated once again. Now he threw a pen…I won’t pay attention to that this time..thats obvious.They covered topics on C,DS,DBMS,Java,OS,CN and SE.
Now its the time for Managerial round. I was asked a situation how you would manage if there were ego problems between 2 of your team members .I thought of it for a while and said I would counsel them and trace out the root cause for the problem and finally by personal mentoring I would solve the problem without hurting anyone. After some time the results for MR were announced and fortunately I too got through it and I am eligible for HR.
The same question was repeated in my HR round “Tell me about yourself” . We should not proceed with the routine way of answering, rather apply some creative ideas while answering this question because all your personal details will be mentioned in your Resume itself….then why telling the same words. So try for something different. I have mentioned about my Family background,Strengths,Hobbies and how my hobbies become my strengths. Now I was asked one of the most famous question “Why TCS ? “. I have answered this in my own style. Madam, I have studied about your company,profits,growth and all other things
But let me illustrate you my personal observation about your company. When every company is facing the problem of recession and all other things,the only company which is recruiting thousands of employees is none other than TCS. I think its enough to say that TCS is one of the leading companies in our country. She was little bit impressed. That’s all. Mention about your relatives or friends working in that company you are attending.That will be really worth noting.
Hmmmm…!!! Everything was over. Now it’s the time for results and the time is 10.30 PM. They are announcing one by one and the nanosecond it was declared that I got selected in TCS gave me an immense pleasure and no words to express.
Anyway All the Best for you guyz n gals for your career.
