Aptitude Test : 80 minutes--35 questions
On registering for tcs v had to create our profile on d tcs portal..there v had to take two demo tests.questions in d written test on d day of recruitment came frm those demo tests only..dey just had different data values.so if u practice d demo tests properly, d written test vl b jus a cakewalk.but u got 2 practice d ques beforehand cz most f 'em r really tricky

d interview took place in a indoor stadium for us...so it was nothing lyk entering a room cz der wer lots f tables arnd n ppl wer being interviewed..so wen my turn came i went up 2 my interviewers...der wer 2 f 'em..a young guy probably in his late 20s n a lady above 30.i wished 'em n dey askd me 2 sit down.i thankd 'em n sat.dey askd me 2 explain myself.dis vl alwyz b d 1st ques n try 2 mk a mark wid it.den dey askd me abt d subjcts m comfortable wid.i told 'em abt c n c++.
