Today the company has a presence across 46 nations with headquarters in Mumbai. Also, TCS is No. 1 Indian IT company according to a survey.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TCS_recruitment_Process_for_freshers\"><\/span><strong><u>TCS recruitment Process for freshers<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Freshers have to clear 4 rounds to get selected as software engineers in TCS. The designation offered to candidates who crack the interview successfully is Assistant System Engineer. These rounds are:<br \/>\n## Written Round<br \/>\n## Technical Round<br \/>\n## Managerial Round<br \/>\n## HR Round<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_asked_in_TCS\"><\/span><strong><u>Questions asked in TCS<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the written round, quantitative aptitude-based questions are asked. This round also has a second part which is the programming or coding test. Last but not the least is the English or business communications test, wherein candidates need to draft an official Email.<\/p>\n<p>In the technical interview round, one can expect questions on any topic. Those with clear basics can easily crack the round. Just prepare Data structures, Algorithms, DBMS, Operating System, Networking and OOPS concepts, in advance. Also be prepared to write code snippets for the interviewing panel, during the interview. They will give you pen and paper to do the same as candidates are not allowed to carry anything inside the interview venue.<\/p>\n<p>In the managerial round, stress and behavior of a candidate are tested. Some candidates might face another round of technical questions post this round. A few lucky students might get directly sent to the HR round, like some of my friends. Most of these direct entrants received spot offer letters.<\/p>\n<p>In the final round or the HR round, personal questions will be asked. Candidates can prepare commonly asked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/common-interview-questions-answers-for-freshers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HR interview questions and answers<\/a> to crack this round.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Note:<\/u> <\/strong>Eligibility to sit for TCS placement interview is tough. Those with an 8.5 CGPA or 80% consistently can appear for the verbal section i.e. email writing directly. Those with a rank under 1000 in CodeVita round 1 can skip the written test completely and appear directly for interviews.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TCS_interview_experiences\"><\/span><strong><u>TCS interview experiences<\/u><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Preparing well in advance will help candidates crack the TCS Software Engineer interview.
