TCS Selection Guidelines

Firstly, TCS has several levels of tests/interview in their selection procedure.

1. Aptitude test (generally online test) consisting of three sections, veral ailities,
!uantitive ailities and logical reasoning ailities. "n veral, u r as#ed antony$s of
several words in english language, si$ilar ut less e%haustive than &'( veral section.
)uantitive consists of class * level $athe$atical s#ill testing prole$s. loogical
reasoning will as# you yes/no/can+t say type !stns ased on a paragraph. u will have to
read through the paragraph fast ut efficiently understanding only the $ain pith of the
written $aterial. regading the words, they as# the sa$e words over and over again. So,
$e$orise the word $eanings fro$ all the papers that i have put up. , will surely get all
of the$ co$$on. "n case, u have given &'(, don+t other at this section at all. All
words are co$$on.(ach section is ti$e li$ited. " have forgotten the e%act ti$e division.
So u can not afford to waste too $uch ti$e on any one section.
-. .sycho$etry/ 0hen u clear the aove three section, u will e allowed to appear for
psycho$etry. "ts 112 !stns to e answered in 32 $in. Always re$e$er to give
.4S"T"5( and C46S"ST(6T answers since the sa$e !stn repeats with a different
sentense construction so$eti$es later. Try to hide 7ve traits in ur character as li#e eing
i$patient, getting ored easily, distracted easily, feeling uneasy in a gathering of $any
people, unsocial and over tal#ative nature, etc. They as# !stns li#e whether u wld $a#e
frndship with a person of opposite se%, feel inso$nia without reason, consistently rood
over a $ista#e u did in the past, the type of person u r, etc etc. what u r actually is not
i$portant, what !ualities wld $a#e ur e$ployers happy is i$portant.
3. After u clear psycho, is ur technical interview. )stns co$e $ainly fro$ the pro8ects,
e%periences u have gathered. They chec# ur resu$e and the lue for$ and as# !stns fro$
there. (ven so$eti$es they test ur logical alities y as#ing pu99les li#e the type they as#
at "nfy. get through with the pro8ect wor#s and stuff and e s$art and reply confidently.
:. Clearing technical inter will $a#e u elligile for ;' interview which is also the final
stage. )stns are various types, including ur ac#ground, ur hoies, etc% etc. They are
#nown to harrass people with their hoies. so, whatever hoies u write, pl99 e through
with it and prepare so that u can answer !stns fro$ ur hoies. <i#e if u say singing, pl99
get through with ur scale and technical things related to singing etc. "f u li#e reading, pl99
e prepared to na$e a few novels and face !stns on those novels. Also, they $ight try to
e$arras u y as#ing !stns of personal and slightly indecent nature li#e at ur oyfriend,
ur affairs(if any) etc. Stay cal$ and answer the$ with a s$iling face. =eep eye contact.
>on+t get provo#ed y any $eans.
Thats at all. They ta#e a wee# or so to announce results. So have patience and hope for
the est.

5eral section/3:D31 !uestions

There are three sections..
5eral Aility ((nglish s#ills) 7 3- !uestions
Aptitude 7 3: !uestions
<ogical 'easoning 7 1- !uestions
"n the veral aility section the area where you can score the $ost is T Antony$s M
Synony$s U which consists of 12 !uestions each. There are two paragraphs , one dealing
with V Fill in the lan#s with appropriate sentences V M the other is a si$ple one where
one has to read it and answer the !uestions. Ta#e $y word, the for$er is a tougher one so
after the Antony$s M Synony$s try to answer the reading co$prehension part.

The Aptitude section is very easy . " say so ecause you can prepare for it in
advance for the sole reason that these aptitude !uestions never change. So whatever you
find in the internet is the ulti$ate aptitude !uestion paper. 4ne can easily do at least -2
!uestions correctly , ut as a precaution try doing at least -BD-E !uestions correctly
ecause you never #now when M where co$petition is going to pinch you. Aelieve $e
you can do it , 8ust e cool .

The logical reasoning part has the least $ar#s ( 1- $ar#s ) ut it is the $ost
deter$ining one. <ogic can never e created the night efore the e%a$ , ut it can e
sharpened y doing various e%ercises . There are four paragraphs M each paragraph
consists of three !uestions. (ven if you are very e%asperated in the e%a$ination hall you
have to answer F !uestions ( 3 paragraphs ) correctly . Aaron@s &'( guide M CAT
reasoning can act as eclectic sources as far as the logical reasoning part is concerned .
6.A / Lust after answering the Antony$s M Synony$s try to solve the logical reasoning
part. 0hy G The reason is fresh rain has greater efficiency in co$parison to a tired one.
So when the food is as rich as the <ogical 'easoning you need a digestive ody as a fresh
rain . This logic proved very useful for $e and " e%pect that it will not prove to e futile
for your case.

>o not e overconfident after solving the aove passage . "t is the si$plest one .
"t was a 8uicy full toss , two ouncers are still to co$e M elieve it or not the last logical
reasoning paragraph of Set 7 & is really tough . " solved it successfully , you can do it too
