My Experience with TCS(Tata Consultancy services)

Hello Friends.
I am going to share my experience with TCS.TCS had to visit our college on 5-6th september,2011.The selection procedure had 3 rounds.
1)Aptitude test
2)Technical interview
3)HR interview
I prepared myself for aptitude test .I solved the previous TCS papers and followed R.S agarwal.It had to be done on 5th september.I was placed in the 4th group for the test.TCS aptitude test is a online test which consist of 35 questions which you have to solve in 80 mintues.Certainly negative marking is there.1/3 marks for the every wrong question would be deducted.So never try to attempt more and more questions because they need a quality rather than quantity.The test started at 3pm.Out of first 7 questions i could not attempt a single one.Out of 35 questions i just attempted 19 questions.Perhaps i was the only one who attempted just 19 questions but still i opted quality over the quantity.Only GOD knows how i was feeling in the test.Heartbeat was on the peak.Test wasn't going as per the expectations.So after the test for the results i was sure that i am out.Before the announcement of it I had declared it to my parents,friends that i would be fail in the aptitude test.Reluctantly i came back to home and even didn't think about the Technical/HR interview so didn't touch any technical stuff for the 2nd round.In the evening i was totally desperate and was talking with my friend and  was being console bye her.Then with in 10 mintues result declared out.With the grace of GOD I had done it.My name was in the list.I was in the cloud 9 then .I thanked to GOD.
It was proved that accuracy matter not the quantity.Next day i had the technical and HR interview.I went through the technical stuff that i had mentioned in my resume.Be prepare what you have written in resume because they ask more question from there.
Next day TCS team first gave the presentation.Then technical rounds started.Standing outside the interviewer's room,i was nervous,because it was the first interview in my life.With in mintues i got a call and i entered in the room.
Me:May i come in sir?

                                                                             I came out with a smiling face.I was pretty sure and confident about the results.With in 15 mintues i got to know that i had cleared it.Now i had the HR interview.The interviewer was a madam.I entered in the room with a smiling face.
