 What type of Entry levels TCS has?

 Every year TCS recruits approx. 40,000 freshers for the entry-level positions through NQT, and
these are called TCS NINJA and TCS DIGITAL

 The prime job profile for which TCS hires freshers is nicknamed the Ninja, for which the salary
package is of 3.6 LPA and it is the profile for which most of the mass is hired. If you qualify for
NINJA you will be offered the role of Assistant Systems Engineer. The reason being the
difficulty level of the various hiring rounds and the cutoff criteria.

 The most hyped profile of TCS’s Recruitment process is TCS DIGITAL, and through the
DIGITAL profile, TCS aims to recruit freshers for the post of System Engineer, and the
compensation offered for this role is 7,00,00 LPA.

 TCS CODEVITA
If you want to get 7 LPA package in TCS then

 There are three opportunities in which you can apply for a TCS DIGITAL profile.

• CODEVITA

• National Qualifier Test (NQT)

• Upgradation to TCS DIGITAL (after onboarding)

 What is TCS CODEVITA

 CODE VITA is one of the most talked-about events among coders. TCS CODE VITA provides an

opportunity for the code maniacs to showcase their coding skills and grab a job offer from TCS. The

announcement for TCS CODE VITA is made during May and the registration for the same begins.

 When it happens & who can participate?

The event takes place normally in June or July. Students in the pre-final year and final year of B.tech

can participate in CODE VITA.

Rounds in TCS CODE VITA - Pre-Qualifier Zonal Round
 Pre-Qualifier Zonal Round: This round will have a window of 24 hours and each candidate will get 6
hours to solve this round on an online code editor like HackerRank / HackerEarth / CodeChef. There
will be two zonal rounds and each candidate will have to participate in the contest from the same zone.
You can choose any language of your choice to code. Some of them are C, C++, C#, Java, PHP,
Perl, Python and Ruby.

 NINJA: If you qualify for this round, your profile will get shortlisted and you will be called for a
technical interview. Here, you will be asked questions from the solution code you wrote to the test
problems and asked to elaborate on them. Like why you used this concept, is there any alternative to it,
and some technical questions from the language of your choice will be asked. Then If you qualify, you
will have to appear for an HR round.

 Once you clear all the rounds you will be offered a TCS NINJA profile.
 Rounds in TCS CODE VITA - Qualifier Round

 Qualifier Round: Those who qualify for the pre-qualifier zonal round will be eligible to participate in

this round across the world. In this test, the candidate will be given six hours to solve the questions of

this round.

 DIGITAL: if you qualify for this coding round, your profile will get updated to a Digital profile. You

might be asked to appear for an interview again, if so you will be asked questions about competitive

coding and DSA.

 TCS NQT Test Pattern
The total duration for the TCS NQT Cognitive Assessment is 120 minutes and for IT programming is 60 minutes.
There is no negative marking for any wrong answer. Try to attempt all the questions without any hesitation.
