I attended the TCS National Test – 2018. The test was conducted on 1st September 2018. At that time, I was in my B.Tech final year. After a few days of the test, the result was announced. I had qualified in this written round and was on cloud 9. This was the first time I had cleared any national level test, which made me proud.
All the candidates who has cleared the test got a mail from TCS, which was an invitation to attend another interview round. I received it too and was all set to attend a second round which was the technical round.
On the interview day, I went to the venue and submitted my CV at the registration desk. I also had to submit a copy of my application form. Fortunately, I was carrying it. After that we were summoned one by one for the interview. There were multiple panels seated in different interview rooms.
