and some venn diagram ,pie chart qns...in Critical reasoning i got all Mrs H wants to make a seating arrangement which s from 2nd model paper i think so, During vedic period only two marriages allowed from 5th model paper, horizontal rows and vertical columns from 4 model i think...

my advice to you all is be thorough with GRE 12th model papers.. then can definetly clear the aptitude.....

then i had TECHNICAL in that i was asked
Diff bw structures and unions?
SDLC?
Diff types of testing?
Arrays?
Virtual Fns?
Friend fns?
Diff bw database and files?
Diff bw C and C++?
wat are the various models in software engg?
Diff bw spiral model and incremental model?
but i was not satisfied with my tech interview... i got the mind set that i'm going to be rejected in tech... but fortunately i got selected...

then i went to meet my HR he asked
Tell about your family background?
Do you hav any location constraints?
Did you do any language in your summer vacataion?
supposing if one of team mate is not speaking with you and he is not doing his properly.. How would u react to this situation?
Wat do u know about TCS?(i said its a prestigious concern.. its focus is main on Quality and customer satisfaction is much important)
then he asked Quality can be acheived only if v work 24 hours.. will you work for all the 24 hrs?
i said sir if i'm going to concentrate on my work for even 1 hr with sincearity then Quality can be achieved in 1 hr itself.. it is not necessary that we can achieve quality by workin 24 hrs a day...
Sometimes you may have to work more than 8 hrs a day... is that comfartable for you?
these were qns
friends wat they really expect from the freshers is our confidence and positive way of answering...

out of which 94 are engg students & da remaining are post graduate students(7).. i'm a M.Sc student.. i'm really to be one among da 7.. i really din concentrate much on verbal coz of laziness... i think cut off is 50 and no sectional cut off... three sections verbal(32 qns in 20 mins), aptitude(38 qns in 40 mins) and the final one is critical reasoning(3 paras consists of 4 qns each & 30 mins).. i prepared well for aps and reasoning... coz they were all repeated ones..

for reasoning GRE 12th edition is best...Some of the which i remember is

In the following series, how many Bs are there such that each B is followed by an F next to it if the F is not followed by a P next to it.

and some venn diagram ,pie chart qns...in Critical reasoning i got all Mrs H wants to make a seating arrangement which s from 2nd model paper i think so, During vedic period only two marriages allowed from 5th model paper, horizontal rows and vertical columns from 4 model i think...

my advice to you all is be thorough with GRE 12th model papers.. then can definetly clear the aptitude.....

then i had TECHNICAL in that i was asked
Diff bw structures and unions?
SDLC?
Diff types of testing?
Arrays?
Virtual Fns?
Friend fns?
Diff bw database and files?
Diff bw C and C++?
wat are the various models in software engg?
Diff bw spiral model and incremental model?
but i was not satisfied with my tech interview... i got the mind set that i'm going to be rejected in tech... but fortunately i got selected...

then i went to meet my HR he asked
Tell about your family background?
Do you hav any location constraints?
Did you do any language in your summer vacataion?
supposing if one of team mate is not speaking with you and he is not doing his properly.. How would u react to this situation?
Wat do u know about TCS?(i said its a prestigious concern.. its focus is main on Quality and customer satisfaction is much important)
then he asked Quality can be acheived only if v work 24 hours.. will you work for all the 24 hrs?
i said sir if i'm going to concentrate on my work for even 1 hr with sincearity then Quality can be achieved in 1 hr itself.. it is not necessary that we can achieve quality by workin 24 hrs a day...
Sometimes you may have to work more than 8 hrs a day... is that comfartable for you?
these were qns
friends wat they really expect from the freshers is our confidence and positive way of answering...
you hav to speak a lot in hr... if u r reserved then they ll ask u more and more number of questions...
so be confident.. if u don know say don know to them.. nothing harm in it...
