This interview experience is shared by an IT Student of NIT Durgapur. (On-campus recruitment 2014 batch).
TCS visited NIT Durgapur on 19 September, 2013. As it was the first mass recruiter company to visit our college, so maximum number of student sat for this placement. It was approx. 850 students, including PG students.
In NIT Durgapur, each student can get maximum of two jobs, one from mass recruiter company and other from Non-mass recruiter company. TCS, IBM, Capgemini, Infosys was supposed to visit NIT Durgapur as mass recruiter company but afterward, Infosys was canceled as TCS visited in first slot.
Now, let’s come to my interview experience.
The TCS recruitment process started with a PPT at 9 A.M. Only few students got to watch the PPT as the assembly hall was not that big to accommodate all the students. I enjoyed watching the animation in the PPT more that the content of the PPT. It was a lengthy video and I was saying myself that “why I am here “.
After waiting for sometime, my turn to give the Online Aptitude Test came. The English part was easy, and in aptitude part 60% percent of the questions are of medium difficulty level. In my aptitude part, most of the questions are from permutation, combination and probability. I discussed few difficult questions with my friends who sat beside me and found that we are getting maximum same questions, but in different order and options are also changed. I calculated that I attended 25 questions without a single guess. After giving the exam, I was still not 100% sure that I will be selected or not for the next round. The feeling of getting rejected was there as I was rejected in few non-mass recruiter companies that visited NIT Durgapur before TCS. We waited for approx. 20 minutes after which the result got declared. The name was declared department wise. When I got to hear my name, seriously I can’t express my feelings. At last, the rejection sequence from aptitude round got over. Now, we have to face the interview round in same day.
Let’s come to the details conversation in the Interview Round.
Again after waiting for a while, my turn for the interview at last came. When my name was called for the interview, my tension started till I control to some extend and entered the room. It was a panel of three people. I was expecting only two people as few friends who attended interview before me told that.
I will try to give you the exact conversation that took place to the extends I remembered. To make it easy to explain, let’s give three interviews a name as Tech 1 (Technical interviewer 1) , Tech 2 and the other the HR (the third person was an HR, and I get to know that during my Interview ). My technical and HR interview was combined. So, let’s start.
Me- Good evening sir to three interviewers.
Tech 1- Sit down.
Tech 2- Ok , So Introduce yourself.
Me- I did not prepare the answer of this question. So, I started in my style. Mainly, the points that are coming to my mind, I am just going on saying that. The introduction part was ok as I had answered this question many times when I was in first year. When I was giving my introduction, the HR was less interested in what I am saying. He was busy with his laptop. The tech 1 and tech 2 interviewers are quite interestingly hearing what I am saying. My intro was lengthily as I didn't prepare beforehand. You try to prepare beforehand, it will be seriously helpful during the interview.
Tech 1- What project you have done ?
Me- answered
Tech 1- Explain it , on which part you have worked on your project ?
Tech 1- Explain it , on which part you have worked on your project ?

Tech 2- handed me a paper and said to explain it ?
Me: drawn the diagram.
Tech 1- are u sure that what you explained is correct ?
Me- I started rechecking my diagram. I did not found any error. Yes Sir, they are correct.
Tech 2- Collected the paper from me.
Till now HR was busy with his laptop. Suddenly he told me from where you have done your internship?
Me- answered.
HR - started to search the company name in the internet from where I have done the internship?
HR - So, explain how’s the experience during your internship ?
Me- I explain little about what I did there, the new thing I get to know .
