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.
