TCS PLACEMENT PAPER 2010
TCS Interview Paper on 29th & 30th January,2010:
First there will be a pre placement talk, please listen it carefully and take some notes. This may be very useful in interviews.
The exam is an online one, there is no sectional cutoff so attempt all of them. The pattern is the same as earlier.
There will be three sections.
1. Verbal-32 questions-20 minutes.
2. Aptitude section-38 questions-40 minutes.
3. Critical reasoning-12 questions-30 minutes.
Though the pattern is same the questions are a bit different from previous ones. Every person will get one section very tuff and the other two sections easy compared to it. I got verbal very toughly. The software used by them is QUBEX. There will be a timer at the top right corner of the window, after every one minute the window will refresh itself, if the time of the section is completed the next section starts immediately, so in the last minute try to attempt all the questions left because in aptitude section you will not have enough time for solving all of them.
VERBAL:
10 synonyms, 10 antonyms, passage containing 6 blanks and another passage having 6 questions.
I don’t know even one antonym and synonym I just kept B or C for all the questions. I read the passage for 7 minutes but can’t understand it properly. The question with blanks is comparatively easy one.
APTITUDE:
The questions in this section are totally different from the previous papers not even one question is repeated from them. They concentrated more on data sufficiency I got nearly 15 questions only on them and also they are very easy too.
This section is divided in to two groups.
The first one has 30 questions mainly questions on data sufficiency.
The second section has 8 questions on data interpretation. 2 parts comprising of 4 questions each. One is a passage and the other is bar or pie chart or both. It is better to answer these questions first because they are easy compared to other ones and as the time is not sufficient for answering all the questions.
I remember only a few models which I am giving here.
1.) How old will C be after 10 years?
Statement 1: Five years ago the average of A and B is 15 years.
Statement 2: Average age of A, B and C is 20 years now.
a) Statement 1 is sufficient to answer but statement 2 alone is not enough.
b) Statement 2 is sufficient to answer but statement 1 alone is not enough.
c) Statement 1 or statement 2 is alone sufficient to answer.
d) Both statement 1 and statement 2 are not sufficient to answer the question.
e) Both statement 1 and statement 2 are together sufficient to answer the question.
Ans: e
2.) What is the ratio between two numbers?
Statement 1: The sum of two numbers is twice their difference.
Statement 2: The smaller number is 6.
Ans: a Options are same for all these type of questions.
3.) The sum of ages P, Q and R is 96 years. What is the age of Q?
Statement 1: P is 6 years older than R.
Statement 2: The total of ages of Q, R is 56 years.
Ans: e
4.) What is the cost price of the article?
Statement 1: The profit earned is one-third of the cost price.
Statement 2: The article is sold for Rs.400.
Ans: e
5.) A and B are in a partnership business of one year. At the end of the year, a profit of RS.20, 000 was earned. What is A’s share?
Statement 1: A invested Rs.50, 000.
Statement 2: B withdrew his capital after 8 months.
Ans: d
6.) A and B together can complete a task in 7 days. B alone can do it in 20 days. What part of the work was carried out by A?
Statement 1: A completed the job after A and B worked together for 5 days.
Statement 2: Part of the work done by A could have been done by B and C together in 6 days.
Ans: a
7.) How much time did X take to reach destination?
Statement 1: The ratio between the speeds of X and Y are 3:4.
Statement 2: Y takes 36 minutes to reach the destination.
Ans: e
other questions can be answered very easily.
CRITICAL REASONING:
This section is same as the earlier papers i.e. most of them are from Barrons, but all the names are changed. I got a passage which is not from Barrons but it is very easy. I will give the details of the passages which I and my friends got but it is good to do all the passages in Barrons 12th edition which are having 4 or more questions. Try to solve them if not simply mug them up, even the order of questions and the options does not change.
1. Large and small universities –model paper 1–section 5–question no (8-12).
2. Eight varsity baseball players– model paper 2 – section 1 – question no (1-4).
3. Byram and Adoniaram – model paper 2 – section 6 – question no (1-4).
4. A, B, C and W may cause D– model paper 4 – section 6 – question no (8-12).
5. Scurvy- model paper 5 – section 7 – question no (21-25).
I cleared the written exam and the interviews are on the following day.
INTERVIEWS:
There said that there is no elimination after each round and once if you get in, technical, management and human resource rounds will be completed one after the other, but some of us are eliminated after technical round. The interview’s started at around 10.30 am. There is a team of 21 members from TCS. There are 10 TR, 4 MR and two HR panels.
It is good to prepare for the basic questions which are often asked and answer them with confidence, because what they check is your confidence level but not the level of knowledge you have.
1. Tell me about yourself?
2. Why TCS?
3. What do you know about TCS?
4. Why software?
5. Why should I hire you?
6. Your strengths and weakness?
7. Why your percentage is low (IF)? (My percentage is less and I faced this question in every round so guys if yours is less be prepared with a convincing answer)
It is always a good practice to ask questions when the interviewer gives you a chance. Because this shows the enthusiasm you have for the company. But don’t ask any stupid questions.
TECHNICAL ROUND:
I was called for the TR at around 2 pm, there are 2 members in the panel both are from ECE and I am from electrical.
Int1: Tell me about yourself?
Me: Told.
Int: Why software?
Me: Told.
Int: Took my file and started asking questions on the subjects in my mark lists….
Int: What is micro processor? Draw NAND gate? What is an IC? Diff b/w an IC and DC? What is stator, rotor? Components in a generator? Explain the principle of operation? What are a coil and some basic principles from electrical….
Me: Told most of them and If you don’t know them say I cant recall them or if you want some time take time I asked for some time and took 2 minutes to recall a concept and explained them.
Int: Do you have a pc at home? And what is its configuration?
Me: Told.
Int: How do you verify it? What is REGEDIT? And some other questions on it?
Int: Write any program you know in C?
Me: I started writing ARMSTRONG numbers program.
Int: Are you coming into software field for high salaries?
Me: No sir. I completed the program. He gave me another program and I wrote it.
Int: What is process to do a project?
Me: Told.
Int: Are you interested in doing a project individually or in a team?
Me: In a team sir.
Int: Why? Can you explain?
Me: Explained.
Int: You can be placed anywhere in India. Will you go?
Me: Yes sir.
Int: Can you work in any time or you have any limitations?
Me: Yes sir, I can work in any time, I have no such limitations.
Int: Do you have any questions?
Me: Yes sir and I asked him.
Int: Answered the question.
Int: Ok you can leave.
Me: They wished me all the best.
They will check some basic knowledge in our core subjects and some programming skills and confidence levels. So be cool while answering the questions.
Some of us completed the technical round in morning itself and are waiting for management round up to 3 pm and then they announced a list of 10 members who are eliminated in the technical round. Then I was called for management round.
MANAGEMENT ROUND:
Me: Good afternoon sir.
Int: Good afternoon, take your seat. What should I call you, with full name or just Vamsi?
Me: Anything sir. Int: How would you describe you?
Me: Told.
Int: What are your weaknesses?
Me: Told.
Int: Is that all?
Me: Yes sir.
Int: Why software?
Me: Told.
Int: Then why didn’t join in computers?
Me: Told.
Int: Are you willing to go Sri Lanka if you are given job?
Me: Yes sir.
Int: If your parents don’t allow you?
Me: I will convince them sir.
Int: How?
Me: Told.
Int: What if you got an offer with more salary after some time in TCS? Will you leave the job?
Me: No sir. I won’t. (Who won’t?? Even the interviewer leaves the job if he gets one!!)
Int: Some more questions like goals, further studies etc.
Me: Explained them.
Int: OK. All the best.
The round is to test the management skills of a person. In most of them stress tests are done i.e. they will be asking some questions to know how you behave under stress situations, you must stick to one ans only. In my interview I was confused that I contradicted my own statement which I didn’t. They will try to confuse you but be cool and answer them with confidence.
HR ROUND:
There are two lady HR’s for us. They only check the confidence levels of the student.
Int: Tell me about your family?
Me: Told.
Int: Why TCS?
Me: Told.
Int: What are values of TCS?
Me: Told.

CTS PLACEMENT PAPER 2010
CTS PAPER - 20 JAN 2010
APTITUDE TEST
Questions = 70 ; time limit = 70 minutes (Correct answer carry one mark and wrong answer carry 0.25 marks), Offline (paper & pen) test
VERBAL SECTION (25 questions - 25 min)
Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
For a period of more than two centuries paleontologists have been intrigued by the fossilized remains of pterosaurs, the first flying vertebrates. The issues, which puzzle them, are how these heavy creatures, having a wingspan of about 8-12 meters managed the various problems associated with powered flight and whether these creatures were reptiles or birds.
Perhaps the least controversial assertion about the pterosaurs is that they were reptiles. Their skulls, pelvises, and hind feet are reptilian. The anatomy of their wings suggests that they did not evolve into the class of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly elongated fourth finger of each forelimb supported a winglike membrane. The other fingers were short and reptilian, with sharp claws. In birds the second finger is the principal strut of the wing, which consists primarily of feathers. If the pterosaurs walked on all fours, the three short fingers may have been employed for grasping. When a pterosaurs walked or remained stationary, the fourth finger, and with it the wing, could only urn upward in an extended inverted V- shape along each side of the animal's body.
In resemblance they were extremely similar to both birds and bats, with regard to their overall body structure and proportion. This is hardly surprising as the design of any flying vertebrate is subject to aerodynamic constraints. Both the pterosaurs and the birds have hollow bones, a feature that represents a savings in weight. There is a difference, which is that the bones of the birds are more massively reinforced by internal struts.
Although scales typically cover reptiles, the pterosaurs probably had hairy coats. T.H. Huxley reasoned that flying vertebrates must have been warm-blooded because flying implies a high rate of metabolism, which in turn implies a high internal temperature. Huxley speculated that a coat of hair would insulate against loss of body heat and might streamline the body to reduce drag in flight. The recent discovery of a pterosaur specimen covered in long, dense, and relatively thick hair like fossil material was the first clear evidence that his reasoning was correct.
Some paleontologists are of the opinion that the pterosaurs jumped from s dropped from trees or perhaps rose into the light winds from the crests of waves in order to become airborne. Each theory has its associated difficulties. The first makes a wrong assumption that the pterosaurs hind feet resembled a bat's and could serve as hooks by which the animal could hang in preparation for flight. The second hypothesis seems unlikely because large pterosaurs could not have landed in trees without damaging their wings. The third calls for high aces to channel updrafts. The pterosaurs would have been unable to control their flight once airborne as the wind from which such waves arose would have been too strong.
1. As seen in the above passage scientists generally agree that:
A. the pterosaurs could fly over large distances because of their large wingspan.
B. a close evolutionary relationship
can be seen between the pterosaurs and bats, when the structure of their skeletons is studied.
C. the study of the fossilized remains of the pterosaurs reveals how they solved the problem associated with powered flight
D. the pterosaurs were reptiles
E. Pterosaurs walked on all fours.
Ans: D
2. As inferred from the passage, the skeleton of a pterosaur is distinguishable from that of a bird by the
A. length of its wingspan
B. hollow spaces in its bones
C. anatomic origin of its wing strut
D. evidence of the hook like projections on its hind feet
E. location of the shoulder joint joining the wing to its body.
Ans: C
3. From the viewpoint of T.H.Huxley, as given in the passage, which of the following statements is he most likely to agree with?
A. An animal can master complex behaviors irrespective of the size of it's brain.
B. Environmental capabilities and physical capabilities often influence the appearance of an animal.
C. Usually animals in a particular family group do not change their appearance dramatically over a period of time
D. The origin of flight in vertebrates was an accidental development rather than the outcome of specialization or adaption
E. The pterosaurs should be classified as birds, not reptiles.
Ans: B
4. The organization of the last paragraph of the passage can best be described as:
A. New data is introduced in order to support a traditional point of view
B. Three explanations are put forth and each of them is disputed by means of specific information
C. An outline of three hypotheses are given and evidence supporting each of them is given
D. Description of three recent discoveries is presented, and their implications for future study are projected
E. The material in the earlier paragraphs is summarized and certain conclusions are from it.
Ans: B
5. According to the passage, some scientists believe that pterosaurs
A. Lived near large bodies of water
B. Had sharp teeth for tearing food
C. Were attacked and eaten by larger reptiles
D. Had longer tails than many birds
E. Consumed twice their weight daily to maintain their body temperature.
Ans: A
Directions for Questions 5-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
After his father's death, writer Laurence Yep returned to San Francisco to look for the apartment house where his family had lived, which also housed their grocery store. It had been replaced by a two-story parking garage for a nearby college. There were trees growing where the store door had been. I had to look at the street signs on the corner to make sure I was in the right spot. Behind the trees was a door of solid metal painted a battleship gray Stretching to either side were concrete walls with metal grates bolted over the openings in the sides. The upper story of the garage was open to the air but through the grates I could look into the lower level. The gray, oil-stained concrete spread onward endlessly, having replaced the red cement floor of our store. Lines marked parking places where my parents had laid wooden planks to ease the ache and chill on their feet. Where the old-fashioned glass store counter had been was a row of cars. I looked past the steel I-beams that formed the columns and ceiling of the garage, peering through the dimness in an attempt to locate where my father's garden had been; but there was only an endless stretch of cars within the painted stalls. We called it the garden though that was stretching the definition of the word because it was only a small, narrow cement courtyard on the north side of our apartment house. There was only a brief time during the day when the sun could reach the tiny courtyard; but fuchsia bushes, which loved the shade, grew as tall as trees from the dirt plot there. Next to it my father had fashioned shelves from old hundred-pound rice cans and planks; and on these makeshift shelves he had his miniature flower patches growing in old soda pop crates from which he had removed the wooden dividers. He would go out periodically to a wholesale nursery by the beach and load the car with boxes full of little flowers and seedlings which he would lovingly transplant in his shadowy garden. If you compared our crude little garden to your own backyards, you would probably laugh; and yet the cats in the neighborhood loved my father's garden almost as much as he did--to his great dismay The cats loved to roll among the flowers, crushing what were just about the only green growing things in the area. Other times, they ate them-perhaps as a source of greens. Whatever the case, my father could have done without their destructive displays of appreciation. I don't know where my father came by his love of growing things. He had come to San Francisco as a boy and, except for a brief time spent picking fruit, had lived most of his life among cement, brick, and asphalt. I hadn't thought of my father's garden in years; and yet it was the surest symbol of my father. Somehow he could persuade flowers to grow within the old, yellow soda pop crates though the sun seldom touched them; and he could coax green shoots out of what seemed like lifeless sticks. His was the gift of renewal. However, though I stared and stared, I could not quite figure out where it had been. Everything looked the same; more concrete and more cars. Store, home and garden had all been torn down and replaced by something as cold, massive and impersonal as a prison. Even if I could have gone through the gate, there was nothing for me inside there. If I wanted to return to that lost garden, I would have to go back into my own memories. Award-winning author Laurence Yep did return to his father's garden in his memories. In 1991 he published The Lost Garden an autobiography in which he tells of growing up in San Francisco and of coming to use his writing to celebrate his family and his ethnic heritage.
