just take it easy it isn't so tough-----
for aptitude just go on to previous papers on campusgate.com no need to go for RS Aggarwal.
have basic c language concepts you can prefer let us c by yashwant kanethkar(first 6 chps will be enough).
Have a good knowledge about atleast 1c/c++/java programming language.
While interview , be confident they'll thoroughly check your communication skills and fluency in english.Study about company its history,current situations, and make a good impression of yourself.

Hi, I am Souvik Sarkar, currently pursuing the B.Tech degree in CSE from Techno India, Salt Lake, Kolkata. Recently, Tata Consultancy Services had visited our campus for recruitment (23rd September, 2017).

For the first time, they had introduced two new sections in the aptitude round (TCS Touchstone), one on multiple choice questions from C and the other on basic C Programming. The format of the paper was as follows:

1. Email writing (10 minutes).
2. Quantitative aptitude (20 problems, 40 minutes).
3. C McQ (10 questions, 20 minutes).
4. C programming (20 minutes).

There were 2 starred questions each in Sections 2 and 3. Starred questions carried more marks than the others. But, if answered wrong, they would also fetch more negative marks than the others. There were some questions that had no options. Those questions didn't have negative marking.

Those who had an average CGPA of 8.35 (76%) and above till the sixth semester exams and had more than 75% aggregate marks in both tenth and twelfth board exams were exempted from appearing for the Quantitative aptitude section.

A few students had managed to perform well in TCS CodeVita and they were called for a direct interview in the third week of August. Some of them got the job then only, others appeared for the aptitude test with us.

The top 25 students from our department had appeared for an aptitude test in the second week of May. Those who cleared the aptitude test were given an onternship course by TCS. Among those students, who performed well in the onternship were called for direct interview.

Cracking the TCS Touchstone test is not difficult. For cracking the email writing, just make sure you use all the words and phrases provided in the question in exactly the same order as they are given and preferably the same tense. Begin the email by writing Dear and end with the word Regards. Use only those names that have been provided in the question. Do not write less than 50 words and preferably not more than 100 words as well. Do not make grammatical or spelling mistakes. Use simple words.

If you are thorough with the previous placement papers of TCS, you can easily crack the aptitude section. Solve all the TCS aptitude questions given in m4maths.com. It is highly probable that you will get either the same or similar problems. If you want, you can also go through the book by Dr. R. S. Agarwal.

The C McQ questions will be based on your preliminary knowledge of the C concepts. They will be easy but some may be tricky. Go through the practice questions of Indiabix.com and also the book Test your C skills by Yashavant P. Kanetkar.

To solve the programming section, login to your Campus Commune accounts. There will be a section, Open Sesame, where you will find a practice problem/program. The actual question will be like that. You have to take input via command line arguments and you will not be allowed to use scanf() etc. There will be maximum 10 attempts to solve the problem. My program was to take a binary number as input and display its decimal equivalent. Follow stackoverflow.com for programming practice.

Our results were declared in the early morning of 24th September. 498 students had appeared. Of them, 312 were shortlisted.

Our interviews were scheduled on 9th October. There were 7 onternship holders who were selected for direct interview on 11th October.

My interview took place at around 1 pm. They asked me the following questions:

Introduce yourself.
Explain your final year project.
What is the use of static keyword?
Why is main() the port of entry for the execution of a Java application?
What is the difference between method overloading and method overriding?
What is the role of JVM?
Why do you think Java is superior to C?

After that, the HR interview began at the same place.

Explain why your graduation grades are much less compared to your board marks.
Why TCS?
If you are relocated to a remote village in Chennai, will you go?
If you are made to work in a project involving PASCAL, will you do it?
What will you do if you are facing any problem in your project but your seniors don't help you?

The results were declared at 1 am on 12th October. Out of 319 students, 183 were selected. 14 students had been placed earlier from CodeVita. So, in all 197 of us were placed.

All the best.

So, we had Tata Consultancy Services visit our campus for On-Campus Recruitment Drive between 16th to 21st September 2017. There were basically four distinct rounds in the recruitment process. I’ll be walking you through the interview process and my experience with the entire thing which can help you get an overview of the recruitment drive.

We had an online exam which consisted of four sections.
Section 1. Verbal Ability. In this section, a simple letter was to be written in 10 minutes. The letter may be either formal or informal. You must stick with the word limit and the keywords mentioned.
Section 2. Quantitative Aptitude. I guess you don’t need an explanation with this section. 20 questions were there. Duration: 40 minutes. Negative marking was present.
Section 3. Technical Aptitude. Basic questions from C language were asked. 10 questions. Duration: 20 minutes. Negative marking was present.
Section 4. Coding Proficiency. A simple C Program was asked. If you are clear with your basics, you won’t find a problem here either. Duration: 20 minutes. Just a tip of advice, learn how to code using command line arguments, since scanf() isn’t allowed.
Now there is this category called Career 75 (60% marks in Class X and XII and CGPA of 8.36 during B.Tech, varying each year) where students were exempted from appearing for the Quantitative Aptitude section. Its a day long event. We left college at around 10 pm that night.

Once you clear this online round, you will move to the interview rounds. The results of the online exam were announced two days later. We had two days scheduled for the interview process. 20th and 21st. Mine was on 21st. Coming to the CV, make sure you can explain each and every sentence of what you write in the CV. Do not write anything which you are not sure with. Coming to the technical interview, I had three panelists in my panel. I was asked to introduce myself at first. One of them asked me about my family. I was asked to describe my internship which I had done with TCS - the workflow and my contribution to the project. I was then asked about my Final Year Project and the three games I have developed using Java. Make sure you have interesting projects to discuss about and a rough idea about your Final Year Project. Questions from DBMS like Normalization and Subqueries were asked. I was asked to write the subquery for finding the second rank student in a class. From Java, I was asked to explain the concept of code reusability, the WORA Principle, difference between JDK, JVM and JRE. I was asked basic questions from Operating Systems as well and a few Shell Commands like finding the list of hidden files, list of recently modified files. Once the Technical Interview was over, one of the panelist had a discussion with me on my CV, probably that was the HR Round. Many people had a separate HR Round as well. I was asked about my favourite subjects in school(not college). I was asked if I was willing to relocate and since I had high eye power(my thick glasses made it evident), if I can work for long stretch in front of the computer. That was it basically. The interview lasted for around 45 minutes I guess, not sure though. We had to wait till 10.30 pm for our results.

Trust me, there are no words to describe the feeling when you hear your name being called out! I heard my name being called out under the list of selected candidates. First job! Always feels great! 341 students got job offers. If you need more tips and tricks on acing an interview or any other general query, I am always available over Quora (https://www.quora.com/profile/Shaunak-Bhattacharjee-1). Feel free to drop me a text. I hope this will help you in getting a rough idea about what the interview process looked like. One more thing, the waiting period will seriously take a toll on you. Bring dry food with you and have plenty of water. Chill. Relax. Keep calm. Be confident during the interview. Know your subjects well. Know your company well. I guess, that would be just fine for you to get through any interview. Good luck! :)
