Part A then you will be shortlisted for Ninja and 1-1.5 coding will get you Digital.

TCS Interview Experience For Prime (On-Campus) 2024

There was only one interview round ON-CAMPUS with 3 panel members –

Technical (T), Manager(M), HR

I entered by greeting them. They all had a smiling face.

T: How was ur day?

M took my resume: You can start by introducing yourself

M: How was your NQT exam? Did you solve all the coding questions?

M: Oh you got Prime that means you solved all ha ha ha XD

M: Do you remember the questions:Trust me I had them in my mind but at

that moment I couldn’t remember the questions at all

M: It’s fine. Don’t stress so much!

T: WAP to find the square root of a number.I used the binary search

approach to code the solution on paper. They saw and nodded.

T: Can you dry run it for 6096?They just wanna see if you can dry-run
solutions or not. They won’t need you to reach the answer and solve it

whole.

T: WAP to find the length of the Longest Palindrome Subsequence.I got a

little panicked at first as I never imagined that they could ask DP.I told them

my recursion approach.

T: What will be the time complexity here?

M: Can we lower it? How?

T: Code it down.I made many mistakes in the code and was sweating. M

asked me to calm down. In the end, I wrote it all down and they were

satisfied.

M: Why have you used Mongo DB in your project and not SQL?

M: You have worked in Power BI when you were at PWC. Do you know how

to import data from a cloud database whose contents are changing

periodically?

M: Have you worked on CSS? What is its speciality?I couldn’t answer this

speciality question. I told them I am not sure

HR: Tell a real-life problem that you can solve by introducing tech. Anything

that’s around you.

TCS Interview Experience For Prime (On-Campus) 2024-Hiringhustle 4

M: We don’t have an office in your hometown. So if we relocate you to

some other city or abroad, are you okay?

HR: If you have a family emergency, what will you do?Answer

diplomatically. Balance family and work

HR: What do you know about TCS?

M: How much time do you expect to work in an office?

M: You are from Electronics and Telecommunications Eng. So why did you

start coding?

HR: Do you have any questions for us?

I was selected for Prime. They don’t dump anyone from Prime. If you don’t have

a good interview you will be demoted to Digital.

PS: Know a little bit about the company. Know everything in your resume. Be

ready for all template questions from all topics. You should know a little of

everything to crack the TCS interview. Many friends got questions about

diverse topics. Most importantly be confident and answer everything. Don’t

remain silent. Say whatever is going on in your mind – right or wrong. All the

best!

Experience-6
TCS Prime Interview Experience | On Campus 2024 (Tier 3) | Selected ✅
I had appeared for the TCS NQT for Priority Institution in Jan, 2024. For our

college it was a pool campus where almost 1000 students participated.

Exam Pattern - 190 mins

Foundation Section - Numerical, Verbal and Reasoning

Advanced Section - Advanced Quant and Reasoing, Coding

I solved both the coding problems in pretty quick time and performed pretty

good in aptitude too. As a result I got shortlisted for Prime. Many of my friends

who solved around 1.5 codes got shortlisted for digital, and who solved only 1

code, they got call for ninja. Take coding seriously! As many of friends who

are better than me in aptitude but were not able to solve a single code were

not even called for Ninja!

I was called for interview at thier office, after around 20 days from my NQT.

I had only 1 round of interview where there were 3 different panelists, Manager,

Technical and HR. They took my interview simultaneously.

For technical round, I was mostly grilled with in depth questions from Java

(Yes! I had Java in my Resume). After a pretty in depth discussion on Java,

They started asking questions from Operating Systems, Linux and Computer

Networks. As I had a pretty good rank in TCS Codevita (Under 500) so they

were pretty impressed with that. But still they asked me to solve two LeetCode

Medium Coding problems on paper. I solved both of them quite easily. After

that they asked pretty general HR type questions, which can be easliy found

on internet.

TCS Interview Experience For Prime (On-Campus) 2024

After around 2 weeks, they announced that I got selected for the Prime Role!

And the fact is, from our college out of 400 students who applied for the NQT,

they only seletcted 5 guys for prime interview and 2 of us got the prime offer!

So its not that easy!

Few Tips - Practice good amount of coding, as many of my friends got

LeetCode Hard problems as well. You should have in depth knowledge of OS,

CN, DBMS, OOPs, Linux, Cloud and Cybersecurity. If you are well versed with

Java/Python then its a plus point for you. Whatever you are writing in your
resume, please make sure that you know each and everything of those

topics! And after that do some research about the company as well!

Experience-8
Cracking the TCS NQT Interview for a Digital Role: My Experience

The Interview Process:

The TCS NQT interview typically involves document verification followed by

two interview panels – HR and Technical. My experience mirrored this structure.

HR Round:
The HR representative initiated the interview with some general questions,

including my father’s occupation. While I politely answered, I avoided venturing

into specifics unrelated to the role. He then inquired about relocation

willingness and the possibility of a Ninja role offer (TCS’s fresher program). I

declined the Ninja role offer and explained my reasoning for preferring the

digital role instead.

Technical Round:

The technical round comprised two interviewers via Zoom. It began with a self introduction followed
by a series of questions based on my resume.

Here are some key questions I encountered:

Technical Skills:

Familiarity with Linux OS

Understanding of SQL (relational vs. non-relational databases, examples)

Preferred extensions for development in VS Code

Programming Concepts: Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles

Cybersecurity and DevOps Awareness: General understanding of

cybersecurity and DevOps practices

Career Aspirations: Long-term career goals within TCS (5-year vision)

Project-Specific Inquiries: Specific details about my Flutter project and any

challenges encountered.

The second technical interviewer focused on networking concepts:

TCP vs. UDP Protocols:

TCS Interview Experience For Prime (On-Campus) 2024-Hiringhustle 6

Explaining the key differences between the two protocols

SQL Injection and String Reversal:

Understanding of SQL injection vulnerabilities

Coding a solution to reverse a string without using a third variable (using

two pointers)

Overall Observations:

Both interviewers were approachable and encouraging. They created a

comfortable environment that allowed for open communication. It’s essential to

be confident, friendly, and honest during the interview. If you encounter an

unfamiliar question, a simple “I don’t know the answer right now, but I’m eager

to learn” can go a long way.

Key Takeaways:

This experience highlighted the importance of:

Tailoring Your Resume: Ensure your resume showcases relevant skills and

experiences that align with the digital role requirements.

Technical Proficiency: Brush up on core technical concepts mentioned

above.

Communication Skills: Articulate your thoughts and responses clearly and

confidently.

Honesty and Enthusiasm: Be honest about your knowledge and

demonstrate a genuine interest in the role and TCS as a company.

By preparing thoroughly and maintaining a positive attitude, you can

significantly increase your chances of success in the TCS NQT interview for

a digital role.

Do not worry about not making a good first impression if you could not. Just progress with the
interview and get better and better and most importantly “finish with a bang!”.

Maintain a cheerful attitude even if you do not get positive feedback.

Communication with confidence matters the most! You must be able to confidently say “Yes” if you
know the answer and thus answer it. You should also be equally confident to say “No” and this is
where your complete attitude is exposed.

Make sure you have a complete idea of what you wrote in your resume and also be extra prepared to
talk about something not mentioned in it.

Ask questions whenever necessary.

Questions vary depending on the assigned team. Hence, be prepared for anything especially the
topics you mentioned in your resume.
Interview Experience 14
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) conducts the TCS NQT (National Qualifier Test) to hire fresh college
graduates from all over India. To stay updated, keep in touch with your college’s placement cell,
classmates, Internet resources, and the TCS careers website. Apply promptly once the application
period begins.

(Technical+Managerial+HR(combined))

This was the final round where Technical+Manager+HR all the three persons were present in the
Interview room.

As soon as I entered the room(Please ensure you are in full formals along with a pen) I was asked to
seat and all three of them were going through my resume. After sometime after going to the resume
I heard the comment ‘Impressive’. My guess on that response was the resume template and format
used(very Imp) and I used the ATS checker to improve my score. But make sure whatever might the
template or format used if your resume doesn’t contain as many skills or achievements with valid
proof relevant to the job profile it would be hard.

Initially, the asked to introduce myself, followed by rapid questions.

Technical Person started the proceedings by asking questions from OOPS concepts explaining
Polymorphism and Abstraction with suitable examples of what is the exact need to use that in your
code.
Then I did a project in Web full stack so I was asked questions about the CSS properties like the need
for Screen resolutions and media query properties.

The interview predominantly emphasized the projects I had undertaken and the tools I utilized within
them. It’s crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of your projects from start to finish. The
interviewers were particularly interested in projects that showcased innovation, such as those where
I identified a unique problem and devised a solution rather than simply working on existing projects.
This highlights the importance of showcasing creativity and problem-solving abilities in your projects.

Questions on MongoDB(bcoz I Have included them in my resume and used it in my project) like
Insertion, Updation, and deletion commands and along with that why go for MongoDB rather than
conventional databases like Mysql.

Questions on Mysql were asked about the difference between Delete, Drop, and Truncate
commands.

During the HR segment of the interview, I was initially asked about my motivation for wanting to join
TCS. This was followed by a series of quick questions related to TCS itself, including recent changes in
the CEO position, noteworthy news concerning TCS, and the identities of the Chairman and CEO of
TCS. It’s important to be familiar with these basic details about the company, as TCS expects
candidates to have a fundamental knowledge of its operations.

Towards the end of the HR interview, I was questioned about my willingness to work across various
locations throughout India and my flexibility with different shift timings. I responded positively,
affirming my comfort with both aspects. The interview concluded after approximately 45 minutes,
and I was informed that the results would be communicated via email.
This part of the interview assesses your alignment with the company’s values, your awareness of its
recent developments, and your adaptability to potential work conditions. Being well-prepared to
discuss these aspects can leave a positive impression on the HR interviewers.

After a week I received a mail that I got shortlisted from their Interview Process and received the
Digital cadre offer letter immediately. Thats all!!!

Important Tips

Start with questions you’re confident in, and don’t spend too long on any single question.

Communicate confidently and respectfully during interviews.

Maintain a professional appearance and be patient throughout the process.

Be honest; don’t pretend to know things you’re unfamiliar with.

Remember, the goal is to showcase your skills, knowledge, and enthusiasm to secure a position at
TCS.
