Tata Consultancy Services conducts a multiple choice test.The test consists of
four sections.The first section is the Verbal Section with 15 questions to be
attempted in 6 minutes.The questions deal with words and their synonyms.
You need a high level of vocabulary to do well in this part. The second section
is a Quantitive aptitude section with 15 questions to be answered in 10 minutes.
The questions deal with basic mathematics such as multiplication, percentages
etc.This is the easiest among all the sections (try not to make silly mistakes).
The third section is the Reading Comprehension section with 50 minutes to
answer 60 questions.The fourth section is a 30 minutes Psychometeric Test
with 150 questions.These questions are generally simple personality based
questions checking your ability to answer consistently.Usually only a Yes/No
type answer is required for these questions.
Candidates clearing the test and the interview are further required to clear a
paper based on C and COBOL. This paper consists of 50 questions and is MCQ
format.
The test is followed by a Technical and a HR interview.The technical interview
is highly specialised and covers almost all subjects you have done in your
curriculum. However one is required to name his/her favorite subject on which
most of the interview is focussed. For Computer Engineers C, Operating
Systems, DBMS, Microprocessors are mostly focussed upon. Electronics
Engineers can be grilled on DCLD, Microprocessors and Communications.For
details on the frequently asked questions please refer to our Interview section.
The HR interview which follows the technical interview is very general. The Hr
interview is also important. Mostly questions are asked to test your
temperament. You maybe asked your opinion on a variety of current affair
topics. We were asked about Homosexuality, Lesbianism(the movie FIRE),
Kashmir, Genome Project etc. In some cases questions regarding the company
are asked. For details on the other frequently asked questions please refer to
our Interview section.
Tata Consultancy Services started in 1968. Mr.F.C Kohli who is presently the
Deputy Chairman was entrusted with the job of steering TCS. The early days
marked TCS resonsibility in managing the punch card operations of Tisco. The
company, which was into management consultancy from day one, soon felt the
need to provide solutions to its clients as well.TCS was the first Indian company
to make forays into the US market with clients ranging from IBM, American
Express, Sega etc. TCS is presently the top software services firm in Asia.
During the Y2K buildup, TCS had setup a Y2K factory in Chennai as a short-term
strategy. Now, with E-business being the buzzword, the factory is developing
solutions for the dotcom industries. Today, about 90 percent of TCS' revenue
comes from consulting, while the rest from products. TCS has great training
facilities. In addition to training around 5 percent of the revenue is spent upon
its R&D centres like the Tata Research Design and Development Centre at Pune,
along with a host of other centres at Mumbai and Hyderabad.
It benchmarked its quality standing, invested heavily in software engineering
practices and built intellectual property-in terms of patents,code and branded
products. At the same time, it expanded its relationships with technology
partners and organisations, increased linkages with academic institutions
and incubated technologies and ideas of people within TCS and outside. TCS
has already patented 12 E-Commerce solution product packages and has
filed six more applications for patent licences.
Over $25 million were spent on enhancing hardware and software infrastructure.
The company now has 72 offices worldwide. As many as seven centres were
assessed at SEI CMM Level 5 last year(3.4 mistakes in a million oppurtunities).
These include Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Calcutta, Hyderabad and Lucknow.
Several business and R&D relationship with global firms like IBM, General
Electric, Unigraphics Solutions have been made.
The present CEO of the company is Mr.S.Ramadorai. The companies strength
is about 14,000.

Consider the following passage for answering questions 43 to 47.
A program is written to accept an answer to the query "enough fo the Day?"
If the respons is "N" then the program accepts quantity purchased and rate
of the item and displays the amount to be collected. Then the above query
is again displayed and the loop continues. At the end of the day, when
the response to the above query is "Y", the day collections are displayed.
The program checks that the quantity purchased is between 25 and 125 and the
rate of the item is between 10.00 and 75.00. If any of these two conditions
are violated, the program displays an appropriate message and asks for next
input. The amounts are displayed with proper editing. The program is written
assuming that there can be a maximum of 1000 transactions a day.
