Hi Friends,
This is Gautam from Pragati Engineering college, surampalem, sharing my experien
ce in being a part of TCS family which was a thriller movie in my life, because
i never expected that i will be selected. I new most of the students will have c
onfidence that written exam will be tough and will be eliminated in written itse
lf. So i also have the same confidence that i will never crack the written exam,
before this TCS i cleared CSC written exam, so you people those who have confid
ence like me and very much frustrated with placements and not getting into any c
ompany because of this written exam this experience may help you 1/10 times rema
ining 9 is your part ok lets see my movie of my life.
It was 10th September I received a mail from Mr. Ranodeep of TCS inviting for TC
S written test, as ususal my confidence came into picture that i will quit in wr
itten and already my friends who already attempted also said that Questoins are
very lengthy and difficult to answer it, so my confidence grew from 50 to 80 pe
rcent but remaining 20 percent confidence grown after seeing the expereinces fro
m "frehersworld.com" written by some of my friends and one of my friend also cle
ared the written exam but he rejected in Managerial round bad luck he was shoked
and he didn't know why he rejected but he gave me some valuable suggestions whi
ch helped me a lot.
TCS exam pattern:
This time in TCS 2010 recruitment they changed the pattern, new pattern is 35 qu
estions 60 mins for which 1 mark for correctly answering -1/3(-0.33) for wrong o
ne's. Don't guess and dont put nearest answer just if your confident then only a
ttempt it , I confidently attempte 25 in which 24 are correct i am proud of mys
elf, i never believed because you already know my confidence.
Tips to crack the written:
1. Read the question from last 2 lines if not able to get go to last 3 lines, bo
ttom up approach is more importatnt because relevent information about question
is available at last lines only.
2. Topics to be concentrated in R.S Aggarwal uncle's book
a) Pipes and cisterns (Only concentrate on methods like simulaneus filling taps
and sequentital filling time taken and size of tub )2 problems
b) Time and Distance (Average distance problems formula-2xy/(x+y) x-first speed
y-second speed -1 prob and d=s*t simple problem only 1 so total 2 problems
c) Numerical calculations simple problem based on (A+B)^2=A^2+B^2+2AB AND (A+B)^
3
But not directly he will ask it using lilavathi story telling the concept at las
t saying that product of two numbers is something and sum of two numbers is some
thing find sum of squres of that number A+B is given AB is given solve it using
A+B whole square formal and get sum of squares 2 problems.
d) Ages problems 2 problems
e) Surface area and formulas on geomentry 1 problem
f) Permutation -2 problems
g) Probability -2 problems
h) Blood relations -2 problems same problems from R.S uncle(Aggarwal)
Just know the concept to solve and use the 1st tip its enough you will be able
to solve 16 questions 3 puzzles are there which i will be sharing all the types.

and z intercept?
Ans: x/a+y/b+z/c=

Technical Round(TR): 28th Sept
My friends faced simple C programs and briefly about project. Now It's my turn,
he asked me about my self and about my main project nearly 35 minutes and 2 sim
ple Technical questions.
You should prepare C programs like reverse of a number, palindrome, fibonacci, e
ven number series, odd number series etc. and also data structure concepts.
MR round: Next day
This round is horrible for me, I faced some Technical questions here also.
He asked some basic concepts, i answered those questions correctly and confident
ly but he argued with me that your answers are wrong then i told my answers are
correct sir, then he gave a horrible statement i.e "You think that I am not able
to write even a simple C program also" it was strange to me but i managed the s
ituation. After some time he said that
"Ok Mr. Gautam even you are not pefect in basic cinsepts how can i select you? S
o you can go now try again after 6 months". He repeated this for 4 times, each t
ime i smiled and justifying my answer, he again repeated the same for 5th time t
oo strange for me, at that time i get up from the chair and again with a smile i
asked that "Shell I wait at out side sir?" then with a smile he said that "Ok G
autam you are promoted to H.R round".
I was very happy after clearing the M.R round. I proceeded to H.R round with a l
ot of confidence.

Here also i faced some Technical questions and H.R asked me that,
1) Tell me about your self?
