7. TCS Placement Paper Sept 2010 | TCS Latest Fresher Job Interview Pattern | TCS Whole Test Paper

Hi,
am Sathish Kumar, I have attended online aptitude test on 18th September on Veltech at Chennai.

The aptitude test consists of 35 questions with no verbal ability. Many think there is no verbal but the plan of TCS is to test your verbal ability in the questions of aptitude itself. Because each of the question contains atleast 5 – 6 lines with lot of stories & irrelevant data. The actual question data will be not more than 1 line. So only if you are good in verbal ability you can understand the question & answer.

Some of the Questions which I remember are below :

I don’t remember the exact data but I give you the question model & how to solve.

1. Total number of wheels of bicycles & 4 wheeled vechicles is 38. How many bicycles are there? ( This question has more than 6 lines to test your verbal abilty)

Ans: similar to above. Go from answer
Choices from answer( 2 wheelers) + X = 38. X should be exactly divisible by 4

2. Ramu & sangeetha went for biological analysis to a island which is 34km from their place. They travelled in a boat which went at a speed of 2m/s. when they are in half a distance in the boat sangeetha note there are 7 leg & 8 leg octopuses under the water. Ramu counted the total number of legs of octopuses and got 54. Sangeetha instantly said I know how many 7 leged octopuses are there under the water. They both reached the island after 20 min they left . How many seven leged octopuses does sangeetha calculate?
1. 4
2. 5
3. 6
4. 7

Ans : Total number of legs of both 7 & 8 leged octobus = 54. Find number of 7 leged octopuses

Go from answer
4(7 leged octobus) + X = 54.
5(7 leged octobus) + X = 54. Similarly do for all. The x you get should be exactly divisible by 8. Only one answer will satisfy the condition

Despite answering all the above questions right, to my greatest despair I cannot get through the aptitude round.

I answered 27, out of which 18 gaurentee right, 5 – 90% right, 3 – smart guess.

I got 25th rank out of 261 in my batch. First 16 cleared. I don’t think they have cut off marks. Because in other batches person who attended only 17 got cleared.

It’s all about luck if in your batch no one scored more than 15, even u get 16 you get selected. In the worst case if more than 20 got above 30. Even if you score 29 you can’t be selected.

My advice is answer only you know it is 100% right. Don’t guess. First attend all the known questions. If you answered more than 17. Then leave all other you’ll be selected guaranteed.

3000 candidates attended the interview. They selected 15 for every 250. Totally 180 out of 3000 clear the first round.

If a person goes to attend the test without knowing the above pattern, I guarantee he cannot attend more than 10 even though he has extraordinary talents. The question I given above may appear very simple to you. But actually I remember you all again that no question has less than 5 lines.

All the best Guys!
