I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tata Consultancy Services (Virudhunagar) in Oct 2016
Interview
I attended interview through oncampus recruitment process.
There were only two rounds., first round had an e-mail writing along with 30 aptitude questions.. this is the round where tcs will try to eliminate most number of students from the process.. The questions will be somewhat tricky & hard to solve without proper preparation... Only happy thing about this round is that they ask nearly 60% questions from the previous year questions.. So try to collect previous year questions and solve them which will be really helpful.. Second round is combination of technical HR & person interview... You may get more technical questions from your area of interest.. But main thing they focus about is your communication skills... So try to face the interview confidently. In technical side they ask only basic concepts that you learnt in your second year of engineering..

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Tata Consultancy Services (Chennai) in Jul 2026
Interview
The interview was comparatively easy. Most of the questions were basic and directly related to the topics mentioned on the resume. The interviewer focused on verifying whether the candidate genuinely understood the technologies and projects they had listed, rather than asking advanced or unexpected questions. They asked fundamental questions such as explaining projects, the technologies used, design decisions, basic programming concepts, and core computer science subjects relevant to the resume. There were very few trick questions. If you have a clear understanding of everything you've included on your resume and can explain it confidently with examples, you should be well prepared. The key is to avoid listing skills or technologies that you cannot explain in detail, because the interviewer may ask follow-up questions on any item mentioned in your resume.
