TCS INTERVIEW ON 11th MAY AT SRINAGAR Hi guys. I am Rohit Reddy, a student of Civil Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Srinagar . I am in my 6th sem. I got selected for TCS. The written test was conducted on 4th May, 2007. The cut off was fixed at 50. I consider myself lucky as I scored 50 marks. Out of 160 guys who appeared for the written test, 93 were selected for the interview. For the written test, I prepared from Barron’s High Frequency Word list. I also prepared from the previous papers of TCS downloaded from various websites. The interview was on 11th May, 2007. This gave us ample time to prepare for the interview. I prepared for the interview from Balagurusamy. I also prepared from the FAQS at interviews again downloaded from various websites. When the guys from TCS arrived at our college, they decided to hold three rounds – technical, management and HR. But, due to lack of time, they decided on only two rounds – technical and HR. Interviewer: Hi Rohit. So your branch is Civil. Interviewer: Then, why are you switching to IT. Interviewer: So, what have you done so that you can expect a career in IT. Me: Sir, I learnt C.
Interviewer: Write a program for the Fibonacci series.
Interviewer: What is your favorite subject? Me: Sir, I like surveying. Interviewer: Surveying is so difficult. We do not know about it. Ok. Surveying contains maps, contours and all that right? Me: Yes sir. Interviewer: Tell me what is isobar. Interviewer: What is an isotope? Interviewer: What is isotherm? Interviewer: Ok, if you want to survey this room, what will you do? Interviewer: If this room had small hills, how would you show them in the map. Interviewer: Can I ask you from strength of materials? Me: Yes sir. Interviewer: What is RCC?

Interviewer: Where would we use cantilevers? Interviewer: What is a truss? Interviewer: Can you draw one? Interviewer: Explain the load carrying mechanism of the truss. Interviewer: Ok Rohit, I am going to put one last question. Suppose we have two rocks and an iron rod in between. When we apply a load on it, will it bend? Interviewer: Can you prove mathematically that it can bend? Interviewer: Ok Rohit, do you have any preferences in working. Do you want to stay with your parents or anything like that? Interviewer: Can you draw a circle with a dot inside? Me: Without lifting the hand? Interviewer: That is obvious. Me: (I just shrugged.) Interviewer: Do you have any questions? Me: No sir. Interviewer: No questions?!! Me: No sir. I was there at the ppt and I do not want any clarifications. Interviewer: Ok Rohit. Second Interviewer: You can wait outside.
