Finally the day of interview...
Reached half an hour before the time. Was feeling so excited. Had mixed feelings.
At 9:00 am we were led to an auditorium where casual attendance was taken.
I could see around 250-300 people there, well dressed in formals, carrying all docs in a file.
The HRs from TCS were very much punctual about time. They were there sharp at 9:00 am.
All the candidate present there were randomly divided into 8 groups.
As time passed I realized there will be 3 rounds of interview in succession i.e
1. Technical Round
2. Managerial Round
3. HR
Turn by turn candidates were called and they started with technical round then managerial and at last HR.
After a long wait my turn came around 4:00 PM.
I got inside the cabin , there were two people, I wished them good afternoon and asked to come in.
Initially I was a bit nervous as it was my first interview.
The guys in cabin offered me water and started to ask about me.
I gave a brief description of myself that I prepared. Then they switched to the technical part.
Asked a few questions over data types used in C language.
A few questions over databases, SQL queries.
At last they gave me to write code that prints calender of a given month and year in C lang.
I completed this task successfully.
Now they asked me "In what more languages you can write this code..?"
I answered "In C++ and JAVA". They told me to do so.
I completed this also.
At last they greeted me and told me to wait outside for results of this round.
After about 1 hr results came and I was shortlisted for next round.
Due non availability of much time they directly jumped to HR round.
In HR round , there was a lady, she was having a laptop and I think she was online with TCS portal and was updating the candidate status.
She asked a few personal questions , some questions about studies, gap in studies, future plans.
Lastly she asked question about problem in relocation.
She explained, TCS needs very flexible people so that they can work in any extreme conditions.
She asked me whether I'm OK if they relocate me in Chennai or other remote places.
I thought for a second or two and replied very confidently:"Mam , I just like a pebble , throw me in any pond I'll generate ripples."
I think she was glad to hear such a reply.
She asked me to wait until TCS will notify me by mail.
