System Engineer Specialist

In the initial years of my college, I became familiar with the C programming language and the basics of coding. Then, as a part of my curriculum, I learned some basic concepts of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). I started diving deep into DSA and coding in my second year of college, getting hands-on experience with it. My approach was to solve standard problems for every data structure I learned. Once I mastered this, I practiced solving assorted coding questions, which helped me understand which approach to use for different types of questions and optimize their complexity. In my fourth semester, I also began learning web development using the MERN stack and developed several projects, which I uploaded online. By the start of my seventh semester, I felt confident enough to interview for the TCS digital candidate role, and I was selected. Throughout my journey, I understood the importance of not only mastering DSA but also making projects and learning core subjects. This comprehensive approach proved invaluable during my interview process.

The company visited our campus, and I applied for the position from there. Subsequently, an online assessment was conducted, consisting of MCQs and two coding questions. I managed to solve both questions and was shortlisted for the Digital cadre Interview. Two rounds were conducted: the first was technical, and the second was HR, both of which I cleared, ultimately securing an offer.

I remained confident throughout the interview, as I was aware of the fact that I had worked hard and could answer the questions asked. While coding, I continually explained my approach to the interviewer, which left a strong impression of my knowledge and skills. Additionally, I learned something unique about TCS digital interviews: they expect candidates to have a grasp of trending technologies such as AI, cloud computing, ML, AR, VR, etc. Therefore, I took the time to learn basic introductions to these topics, enabling me to confidently address questions related to them.
