“Experience Certainty”. “Our brand proposition for the customer center around the experience of certainty
– certainty that technology will always enable their business to focus on their customers,” said Phiroz
Vandrevala, head, global corporate affairs. “The TCS brand campaign is about communication these
experiences that the biggest global corporations have had with us and the certainty we have delivered to
their business to the global market.”

There was a gross addition of 32,462 (net 22,750) employees during the 2006-07. In Q4, the gross

Overseas nationals formed 9.6% (8.8% in Q3) of the total employee base with employees coming from 67
different nationalities. 26% of all employees are women.
“We have delivered on retention with the lowest attrition rate in the industry in an environment of intense
competition for talent. TCS’ global recruitment and training engine has also evolved and matured to meet
growing manpower needs of our business,” said S. Padmanabhan, head, global human resources. “Our

4.What are models and meta models?

Model:It is a complete description of something (i.e . system).
Meta model:It describes the model elements, syntax and semantics of the notation that allows
their manipulation.

5.What do you meant by static and dynamic modeling?

Static modeling is used to specify structure of the objects that exist in the problem domain. These
are expressed using class, object and USECASE diagrams.But Dynamic modeling refers
representing the object interactions during runtime. It is represented by sequence, activity,
collaboration and statechart diagrams

6.Why generalization is very strong?

Even though Generalization satisfies Structural, Interface, Behaviour properties. It is
mathematically very strong, as it is Antisymmetric and Transitive.Antisymm etric: employee is a
person, but not all persons are employees. Mathematically all As' are B, but all Bs' not A.

7.Differentiate Aggregation and containment?

Aggregation is the relationship between the whole and a part. We can add/subtract some
properties in the part (slave) side.It won't affect the whole part.Best example is Car, which
contains the wheels and some extra parts. Even though the parts are not there we can call it as
car.But, in the case of containment the whole part is affected when the part within that got
affected. The human body is an apt example for this relationship. When the whole body dies the
parts (heart etc) are died.

8.Can link and Association applied interchangeably?

No, You cannot apply the link and Association interchangeably. Since link is
used represent the relationship between the two objects.

9.What is meant by "method-wars" ?

Before 1994 there were different methodologies like Rumbaugh, Booch, Jacobson, Meyer etc
who followed their own notations to model the systems. The developers were in a dilemma to
choose the method which best accomplishes their needs. This particular span was called as
"method-wars"

10.Whether unified method and unified modeling language are same or different?
Unified method is convergence of the Rumbaugh and Booch.Unified modeling lang. is the fusion
of Rumbaugh, Booch and Jacobson as well as Betrand Meyer (whose contribution is "sequence
diagram"). Its' the superset of all the methodologies.

VITIANS,

As Shyam has already highlighted, preparing from the previous papers holds the key to the
sucess of Placement!!!

Papers are already being send out to the groups...please make use of that and prepare accordingly
and if you have lots of previous papers then plz start ur preparations from the most recent papers.

Clearing the written test is not everything, Interviews are equally important and for that just
follow what Shyam has mentioned in the mail, again stressisng on the importance of C and C++
for CSE related branches. Having a mention of C and C++ for non-cse students is an added
advantage. Interviews again could be of Tech and HR interview.

For TCS especially, when u prepare from all old papers ur almost thro in the written test. So
please dont miss any of them.

Papers are already being send out to the groups...please make use of that and prepare
accordingly.

Diwakar&Co would discuss about handling the Tech and Hr interviews once ull come back from
vacation.

All the Best to all of ull!!!!

Thanks,
Pratheep.

Subject: [VITIANS08] Regarding Campus Interview-Some Imp points to take care.
Hi Friends,
This is Shyam 2004 passout from VIT.Hope some of you guys may remember
me after placement talk conducted by us recently. Since many of you
people had your exams and not able to make it to the presentation i
just wanted to convey few important points you must follow before
arriving into the grand placement season of VIT by May.

How to Use The May Vacation For the Placement Preparations:

Let me categorize the preparation into two categories.

• Written Test
• Tech Interview Preparation

Written Test:
Step 1: Quantitative Aptitude Preparations:
Sit and go through all the important chapters in R.S.Agarwal
Quantitative Aptitude book. Practice all the examples and exercise
questions. After finishing this, go through the Short cut methods
given in any MBA preparation book by author "Abhijit Guha"

Step 2: Verbal and Analytical Reasoning Preparations:

Go through the GRE book by Barrons (12th) edition which has the
Analytical and critical Reasoning section.Practice all the questions
in this section and in TCS you would get analytical and critical
reasoning questions only from this. Your seniors used to memorize the
answers for the toughest (Analytical & Critical reasoning) questions
as it helped them to give the answers fast in the online test.

Learn all the words given GRE Barrons book or atleast try to learn
High Frequency words list in Barrons book and all the words given in
the previous years question papers.

Step 3: Puzzles Preparation

Now Puzzles are not frequently appearing in written test paper of

Infosys.So puzzles just practice it as a safety measure. You could
find one or 2 puzzles just show up in some companies question papers.
The standard books for puzzles practice are the ones written by
Shakuntala Devi and George Summers

Step 3: Technical Written Test Preparation

Technical written test would be mostly based on C.Please go through
Test Your C Skills book by Yashavant P. Kanetkar.Few companies would
conduct test in OS,DBMS and C++ and for this if you are non computer
students go through the previous year Q paper of this companies.
Step 4:
Practice all the previous years question papers of TCS, CTS, and
Wipro etc.This is a very step you should follow without fail.

Technical Interview Preparation:

Step 5: C and C++ are just two key words which could always find a
place in any level of company.

Computer Department Students: Make yourself strong in C and C++.Should

be well comfortable with playing around OOPS concepts and Pointers in
C.Should able to write
Programs for implementing data structures like Linkedlist, Doubly
Linked list ,stack and queue.

Non computer department student with C and C++ in Curriculum: Try to

first cover the Computer subjects you had in your curriculum, most of
the department would have C in their curriculum so don't fail to learn
C.If you don't have C++ in your curriculum atleast try to learn basic
OOPS concepts like inheritance ,polymorphism and encapsulation.

Non computer department students with no C and C++ in Curriculum:

Please ask your friends from computer departments to teach you the
basics of C and C++ and you can also learn yourself with the books
written by Yashavant P. Kanetkar AND Bala kuruswamy.

Step 6: Make yourself strong in fundamentals of all the core subjects

of your department. For ex: EEE students should be good in embedded
systems and other core subjects and ECE students should be good in IC,
Signals system subjects etc.

So your duty is to find the core subjects of your department and get
yourself strong in basics.

Step 7: Learn the subjects which you mention as Area of Interest in

resume with the most possible extent you can. You should always go an
extra mile in your area of interest. For computer based students don't
mention in your area of interest as only c and c++ unless you have
done some extreme programming in this languages, as a computer based
student it is by default you should be good in this 2 languages.

For non computer students if you mention c and c++ in your area of
interest it is an added advantage. You can always mention the subjects
from your department in the area of interest and you should be strong
in that.
Hr Interview:
Don't worry about this during the vacation we will be there to help
you out in this once you return from home for the campus placements.

If you finish this 7 steps, no wonder you get palced in very first
company.

If you have reached till this point it's great and well appreciated.
My all the best to you for the exams and campus interview. You are
welcome to mail or call me for any help regarding campus placements
any time any day.

My Mobile no is 9840536665.

Bye
Take Care
Shyam.

All,
Greeting from me to u all guys and gals!!!!

Hope all ull guys are busy preparing for the campus interviews that is soon
on ur way.
Could not come for any of the preparatory talks since I am
in Irving(Texas,US) on a intra company deputation(for TCS!!!!!)....
For so many days I was talking abt VIT to company executives. Let me take
this as an chance to campaign for TCS to all Vitians!!!!!!!!(for a change)
Guys it been always the fact that we look only for MNCs and ignore other
Indian companies. It has been a practise for all of us to condier and think
that MNCs are far better than Indian companies only becos of the attractive
pay package they provide.
Well guys let me tell you all, initially pay package that the MNCs pay are
high, thats for sure no doubts on that. But when you compare onsite chances
of indian company with that of a MNC, then Indian companies always edges
out MNCs. See guys ull need to understand the logic, MNCs route their
business to India only as an cost cut measure.
For eg. An MNC X has to pay each employee around $50approx per hour if it
was to function outside India...so that comes upto:
$50 * 22(working days in a month)*8(working hrs in a day)*41(rupee value
for a dollar) = Rs.360800
If the same MNC were to start a branch in India then the salary that they
would be paying its associates here would be just around Rs.40,000 to
Rs50,000 per month.(that too u will have tax deductions).
So as far as a MNC is concerend ur onsite chances is very very less.
But Indian companies especially TCS is not like that....
Some facts abt TCS onsite chances:
With me aroud 60 people got recruited by TCS from VIT thro on campus and
thro off campus around 14 ppl joined, so totally around 74 ppl got placed.
Out of the seventy you will not believe, for 90% of them the Visa has been
initiated by TCS.
Of the 74 that got placed around 50 ppl are already at
onsite(UK,US,Singapore and Australia).
Keep in mind we are just 18 months experienced!!!!!!
And for others Visa has been initiated and they too would be soon joing the
onsite team.
And now comes the interesting part, pay package at onsite:
you would be paid a salary of $5000 per month. After 33% of tax deduction
you would be left with $3700. That comes upto:
3700*43 = Rs1,51,700. (per month)
Guys here for an bachelor even if he spens lavishly he would just need $700
per month to survive at US. That leaves you with 3700-700, ie$3000.
So that gives u an figure of $3000*41 = Rs.1,23,000(per month).....!!!!
So in 1 year u can save approximately around Rs.1,23,000*12 =
Rs.14,76,000....
if u want to earn the same money in any MNC(say with a pay package of Rs.40000)...u can imagine how
many years it would take....

When u r send to onsite bu TCS, u would be given a initial amt of $5000(5000 dollars) for ur initial survival
at US...
In addition to this before u start off from India TCS would pay you Rs.5000
for ur onsite purchase!!!
again all ur flight charges would be taken up by TCS and u even have the
luxury of choosing the airline by which u want to travel(and most of them
choose only Lufthansa)...

Guys keep in mind TCS is known for sending its associates to onsite for a
long term(long term here means more than 1 year)...infact i have been here for almost a year now...and i
am sure i would be retaind here for another
year..tats TCS for u!!!!!

Mostly VISA is usually initiated for everyone after he/she completes 12-15 months in TCS....
again it can also be earlier based on the requirement of the project...infact my training batchmate went to
UK just 6 months after joining
th company...however i got the onsite chance after 15 months...
again for initiating VIsa u need to pay around Rs20,000...that also TCS
will bear it(ofcourse this is done by all companies)
It does not mean that u have to come back after 1 year, if u are interested
u can continue staying in US also.

Imagine ur are getting employed in a MNC...ur initial pay would never be

more than 4 lac(except for few exceptions like Google,yahoo and
Microsoft).....If a person working in MNC wants to earn same amt which TCS
onsite guys earns it would take approxmiately around 4 years....again In
india u need to slog for hours together in companies(minimum of 12 -14 hrs)
....but at onsite working hours are very strict...for me in my office i work
from morning 9 to evening 6(1 hr lunch break)!!
MOST INTERESTING NEWS AND FACT:
A VIT gal(2005 batch,recruited by oncampus from our college) with just 8
months of experience she has been deputed to UK for a intra comany transfer
by TCS for a period of 10 months!!!!!
Similarly the nature of job would never be different for an Indian company
and a MNC....becos for most of MNCs all its developement work is done at
onsite itself...only maintanence works comes to India!!!!!so type of projects a MNC has is no way different
from what TCS and other Indian companies has...
So do "u" want to join a MNC or TCS - an Indian Company with a foreign
outlook!!!!!
Dont wait....take a wise decision...come and join TCS and become a part of
Truly Indian company that would soon touch a milestone of 90,000 wrt Human
Resources....
One important incident that happened when i came to onsite:
I went to Bank of America for opening a account, when manager asked me if i
am a software engineer from India, I said yes....then next thinhe he said
was "Are u from TCS"!!!!i was amazed and asked him how he found out...he
siad out of the 720 new accounts that was opened in that branch for the
past three months(from March-2006), 574 accts were for TCS folks!!!!

Guys one more thing...any big colleges u take(NIT,IIT or Anna Univ)...TCS would be the first company to
recruit...and all students take up the TCS interview eventho they know that they would have many more
MNCs coming to their college....becos they know their talents can be properly utilised @ TCS...
so VITIANS...dont wait for MNCs that just recruit in very less no. but rather think twice and make use of
this oppurtunity of getting selected in TCS - Truly Global Company...

last but not the least recent survey for Onsite-offshore ratio states that
TCS tops the list of sending its employees to onsite!!!!
Thats why TCS is always Beyond the Obvious-----Experience the Certanity!!!!!

Thanks,
Pratheep.

Hi Friends,
This is Shyam 2004 passout from VIT.Hope some of you guys may remember
me after placement talk conducted by us recently. Since many of you
people had your exams and not able to make it to the presentation i
just wanted to convey few important points you must follow before
arriving into the grand placement season of VIT by May.

How to Use The May Vacation For the Placement Preparations:

Let me categorize the preparation into two categories.
• Written Test
• Tech Interview Preparation

Written Test:
Step 1: Quantitative Aptitude Preparations:
Sit and go through all the important chapters in R.S.Agarwal
Quantitative Aptitude book. Practice all the examples and exercise
questions. After finishing this, go through the Short cut methods
given in any MBA preparation book by author "Abhijit Guha"

Step 2: Verbal and Analytical Reasoning Preparations:

Go through the GRE book by Barrons (12th) edition which has the
Analytical and critical Reasoning section.Practice all the questions
in this section and in TCS you would get analytical and critical
reasoning questions only from this. Your seniors used to memorize the
answers for the toughest (Analytical & Critical reasoning) questions
as it helped them to give the answers fast in the online test.

Learn all the words given GRE Barrons book or atleast try to learn
High Frequency words list in Barrons book and all the words given in
the previous years question papers.

Step 3: Puzzles Preparation

Now Puzzles are not frequently appearing in written test paper of

Infosys.So puzzles just practice it as a safety measure. You could
find one or 2 puzzles just show up in some companies question papers.
The standard books for puzzles practice are the ones written by
Shakuntala Devi and George Summers

Step 3: Technical Written Test Preparation

Technical written test would be mostly based on C.Please go through
Test Your C Skills book by Yashavant P. Kanetkar.Few companies would
conduct test in OS,DBMS and C++ and for this if you are non computer
students go through the previous year Q paper of this companies.

Step 4:
Practice all the previous years question papers of TCS, CTS, and
Wipro etc.This is a very step you should follow without fail.

Technical Interview Preparation:

Step 5: C and C++ are just two key words which could always find a
place in any level of company.

Computer Department Students: Make yourself strong in C and C++.Should

be well comfortable with playing around OOPS concepts and Pointers in
C.Should able to write
Programs for implementing data structures like Linkedlist, Doubly
Linked list ,stack and queue.

Non computer department student with C and C++ in Curriculum: Try to

first cover the Computer subjects you had in your curriculum, most of
the department would have C in their curriculum so don't fail to learn
C.If you don't have C++ in your curriculum atleast try to learn basic
OOPS concepts like inheritance ,polymorphism and encapsulation.

Non computer department students with no C and C++ in Curriculum:

Please ask your friends from computer departments to teach you the
basics of C and C++ and you can also learn yourself with the books
written by Yashavant P. Kanetkar AND Bala kuruswamy.

Step 6: Make yourself strong in fundamentals of all the core subjects

of your department. For ex: EEE students should be good in embedded
systems and other core subjects and ECE students should be good in IC,
Signals system subjects etc.

So your duty is to find the core subjects of your department and get
yourself strong in basics.

Step 7: Learn the subjects which you mention as Area of Interest in

resume with the most possible extent you can. You should always go an
extra mile in your area of interest. For computer based students don't
mention in your area of interest as only c and c++ unless you have
done some extreme programming in this languages, as a computer based
student it is by default you should be good in this 2 languages.

For non computer students if you mention c and c++ in your area of
interest it is an added advantage. You can always mention the subjects
from your department in the area of interest and you should be strong
in that.

Hr Interview:
Don't worry about this during the vacation we will be there to help
you out in this once you return from home for the campus placements.
If you finish this 7 steps, no wonder you get palced in very first
company.

If you have reached till this point it's great and well appreciated.
My all the best to you for the exams and campus interview. You are
welcome to mail or call me for any help regarding campus placements
any time any day.

My Mobile no is 9840536665.

Bye
Take Care
Shyam.

is pivotal to BT’s successful delivery of the ground-breaking 21CN project, confirming BT’s position as a
leader of the UK and global communications industry.”
“Testing is a critical aspect of the 21CN programme, ensuring that BT, and the telecoms industry as a
whole, has full confidence in the performance of the completed network,” said Randy Tucker, director of
technology and testing, BT Wholesale Networks. “In this capacity, TCS has shown that it has absolutely
the right capabilities for the job.”
The introduction of an IP network that delivers both voice and data services, as well as the new

Tata Consultancy Services Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant for Business Intelligence Services by Top
Analyst Firm
Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: TCS.BO, NSE: TCS.NI), a leading global IT services and
consulting firm, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant for
the ‘Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Services, North America, 2007’ report.
In the report, Gartner evaluated 17 service providers across North America on the ability to execute and
completeness of vision.
“The Business Intelligence and Performance Management (BIPM) practice brings the convergence of BI,
EAI and KM technology to provide an agile, efficient and adaptable solution for enterprise,” said Dr.
Santosh Mohanty, Global Head, BIPM Practice, TCS. “This convergence of services has been driven by
industry demand and TCS has created a service oriented framework “SOLAR”© to strategize and deliver
the BIPM solution for the enterprise. The SOLAR framework brings the right alignment of ‘Integration,
Intelligence and Innovation’ and ‘Process, Performance and Prediction’. This report validates the
feedback and appreciation that we have received from our customers in addressing their business need
through BIPM solution strategy and delivery.”
According to the Gartner report, "BI and performance management projects have significant impact
across an enterprise as well as at higher levels of the enterprise. Organizations seek to achieve business
value from the analysis of their information through the use of IT. The increasing investment by end-user
organizations in this area is driving growth for the related consulting and systems integration (CSI)
market. Gartner forecasts the market for these services to grow at a five-year compounded annual rate of
5.8% worldwide and reach more than $20 billion by 2010. This is at a similar rate of growth for the total
CSI market, which includes business application services, application development, infrastructure
services and so on."
The Gartner report stated, "Inclusion of CSI service providers in this Magic Quadrant resulted from
meeting several criteria. In particular, Gartner focused on companies offering services in North America.
The criteria are designed to select CSI companies that can match the increasing complexity of BI projects
that clients undertake…. The market for BI consulting and integration services is a fragmented market
when looking for just technology staffing services. Companies evaluated here have the capabilities not
just for staffing but also to manage BI programs."
