TCS Test PAPER ON 01 AUG 2006 AT BELLARY, KARNATAKA

First we had on line test. A total of 160 students from both B.E and M.C.A appeared for it. They divided us into two batches of 90 and 70 and conducted the test for the two one after other.


They said they may conduct GD depending upon number of students passing online test.


The test had 3 sections. Verbal ability in which 10 questions were synonyms, 10 were Antonyms, 5 questions for Passage and 5 sentence completion. The time for this was 20 minutes. I knew answer for only one questions in this. Aptitude session appeared immediately after 20 minutes. This session had 35 questions, almost all questions were from previous tests conducted in Ranchi, Coimbatore… The questions were fully basic. I have practiced R.S. Agarval book much but didn’t get any questions from it. This session was for 30 minutes. The third session was Critical Reasoning in which two questions, each contained 8 and 4 questions, respectively. I was unable to answer first question, but second was easy.


Those who were selected for 2nd round had all got Psychometric session after the Critical Reasoning, but the officers said not to answer the questions. Those who didn’t get Psychometric session were not called. I think who scored well only got that.


Their target was to select 50 but 41 crossed 1st round. So they combined Technical and HR rounds. On 1st day only 11 students were interviewed. The rest were said to come on the next day.



VERBAL SESSION:



All questions were from Barron’s GRE book. One of my friend remembered 800 words but got none of them. So I suggest to remember words based on Prefix, Root and Suffix method.

Technical + HR Round


Out of 41 they asked 11 of us to remain for this round and others were told to come the next day. We were 8 from CSE, 2 from EEE and 1 from ISE. Others were from other branches including ISE. I was called after 6 students. Everyone was having tension but I used to tell them be free. When my name was called, I also got tensed.

How do you feel about the test?


I said " It is good. But I think you should make the aptitude test little hard". He said " See Mr. Narayan, now itself only 41 cleared the test. If we make the test still harder then only 10 may cross and we have to go back with 6 or 7. We can’t do this because ours is a big company and we have a large requirements. Any way good, good".
