We have first few rounds of Aptitude , reasoning and english (moderate level questions ) ,followed by coding questions from hackerrank or hackerearth on strings , arrays etc.. Lastly we have psychometric test basics questions to evaluate how we think and behave in specific situations.

1. TCS NQT Exam The first step is the online exam. It has two main parts: Aptitude Test and Coding Test. 🔹 Aptitude Section (typically includes): Numerical Ability – speed, ratio, percentages, probability, time & work, profit & loss, etc. Verbal Ability – grammar, reading comprehension, sentence correction, vocabulary. Reasoning Ability – puzzles, seating arrangement, number series, coding-decoding, logical deduction. 🔹 Programming / Coding Section: 2 coding questions to solve in C, C++, Java, Python, or other supported languages. Difficulty ranges from easy to medium-hard (e.g., arrays, strings, dynamic programming, recursion). ⚡ Tip: The Aptitude test is elimination round, only those who clear it are evaluated on coding performance. 2. Interview Rounds (On-campus or online, based on your NQT score) Depending on your NQT performance, you may be shortlisted for Ninja (entry-level), Digital, or Prime (higher packages). Technical Interview: Data structures, OOPS, DBMS, SQL, Operating System, basic coding, plus projects from your resume. Managerial Interview: Problem-solving approach, teamwork, scenario-based questions, leadership, decision-making. HR Interview: General introduction, career goals, relocation, salary discussion, company fit. 3. Offer Letter Once selected, TCS issues an offer letter. Sometimes the process is slow (can take months to even a year) depending on project requirements and business needs. Students selected under Ninja/Digital/Prime categories get onboarding dates accordingly.
