Written Test

Tata Consultancy Services conducts a multiple choice test. The test consists
of four sections. The first section is the Verbal Section with 15 questions to be attempted in 6 minutes. The questions deal with words and their synonyms. You need a high level of vocabulary to do well in this part. The second section is a Quantitive aptitude section with 15 questions to be answered in 10 minutes. The questions deal with basic mathematics such as multiplication, percentages etc. This is the easiest among all the sections (try not to make silly mistakes). The third section is the Reading Comprehension section with 50 minutes to answer 60 questions. The fourth section is a 30 minutes Psychometric Test with 150 questions. These questions are generally simple personality based questions checking your ability to answer consistently. Usually only a Yes/No type answer is required for these questions.

Candidates clearing the test and the interview are further required to clear a paper based on C and COBOL. This paper consists of 50 questions and is MCQ format.

Interview

The test is followed by a Technical and a HR interview. The technical interview is highly specialized and covers almost all subjects you have done in your curriculum. However one is required to name his/her favorite subject on which most of the interview is focused. For Computer Engineers C, Operating Systems, DBMS, Microprocessors are mostly focused upon. Electronics Engineers can be grilled on DCLD, Microprocessors and Communications..

The HR interview which follows the technical interview is very general. The HR interview is also important. Mostly questions are asked to test your temperament. You maybe asked your opinion on a variety of current affair topics. We were asked about Homosexuality, Lesbianism (the movie FIRE), Kashmir, Genome Project etc. In some cases questions regarding the company are asked.

MOMENTS IN LIFE

There are moments in life when you miss someone
so much that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often times we look so long at the
closed door that we don't see the one
which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.

Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile,because it takes only a smile to
make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;

be what you want to be,because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the thingsyou want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human, and
enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarilyhave the best of everything;
they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will alwaysbe based on a forgotten past;

you can't go forward in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were cryingand everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling
and everyone
around you is crying.


Don't count the years--count the memories...........

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away!

Gone with the wind


No kidding!! This u will surely enjoy!! (no secrets!!)

Gone are the days, ...........but not the memories
Gone are the days When the school reopened in June,
And we settled in our new desks and benches.

Gone are the days When we queued up in book depot,
And got our new books and notes.

Gone are the days When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays, yet Managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.

Gone are the days We learnt writing with slates and pencils,
and progressed To fountain pens and ball pens and then micro tips.

Gone are the days We began drawing with crayons
and evolved to Colour pencils and finally sketch pens.

Gone are the days We started calculating first with tables
and then with Clarkes tables and advanced to calculators and computers.

Gone are the days When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals,
And returned to the classrooms drenched in sweat.

Gone are the days When we had lunch in classrooms,
corridors, Playgrounds, under the trees and even in cycle sheds.

Gone are the days When all the colours in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays.

Gone are the days When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons.

Gone are the days When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Neckties and socks rolled into balls.

Gone are the days When few played "kabadi" and "Co-Co" in scorching sun,
While others simply played "book cricket" in the confines of classroom.

Gone are the days Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy.

Gone are the days When we used to watch Live Cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks.

Gone are the days When few rushed at 3:45 to
"Conquer" window seats in our School bus.

Gone are the days While few others had "Big Fun",
"pulippu muttai", "gulfi ice", "seeval ice !" and "pepsi !" at 4oClock.

Gone are the days Of Sports Day, and the annual School Day ,
And the one-month long preparations for them.

Gone are the days Of the stressful Quarterly,
Half Yearly and Annual Exams,
And the most enjoyed holidays after them.

Gone are the days Of tenth and twelfth standards,
when we Spent almost the whole year writing revision tests.

Gone are the days We learnt, we enjoyed,
we played, we won, we lost, We laughed,
we cried, we fought, we thought.

Gone are the days With so much fun in them,
so many friends, So much experience, all this and more.

Gone are the days But not the memories,
which will be Lingering in our hearts for
ever and ever and
Ever and ever and Ever


Have a great day,
