I am not getting from where to start telling you my journey in TCS. I start it from my placement into TCS to completion of 2 years. When I was in 1st year of engineering, our college had very poor placement. There was no placement for Computer Science people and I was one of them. Only some IP and mechanica based Companies were visiting our college for placement. In 1st year itself one of the senior TCS Associate came to visit our college and that time I had not heard about TCS nor any other company(May be because my general knowledge was poor). He was impressed with our college and the very next year they came for placement and there after they come every year. I was placed into TCS in the year 2005 i.e. my third year. TCS was the first company to visit our college. Their criteria was 60% through out in Engineering, SSLC and PUC II year and I had 75% in Engineering and more than 80% in SSLC and PUC II year, so naturally qualified for the aptitude test.
At 9 am they finished the PPT and as usual it was very good and everyone was impressed including me. There were 3 rounds Aptitude, technical interview and HR interview. I had come in the morning for the test, the test was conducted in batches and my serial number was 354. The aptitude test was online and I got into the lab at 7Pm for the test after 8-9 hours. After every batch finishes the test, results were announced immediately. Iwas waiting for my name to be announced and it happened so. Then I was called for technical interview next day at 11 am.
My interview turn came at 5Pm inthe evening, the time which i spent between 11am to 5 pm was horrible. I was tensed and asking each person who comes after the interview about the questions asked to him. Atlast came my turn, I was a bit nervous but also confident, the interviewer asked me to introduce myself and about my favorite subject. I was able to answer all the questions and the interviwer was also impressed and gave me the form to the HR interview. I was very happy and was the last man for the HR interview. Finally there was announcement of selected students and out of 400 students only 51 were selected and I was one of them.
I received my offer letter very late. I was the first one to get placed and last one to get my offer and joining letter. I had to fight for it i.e. call TCS many times. I also decided to search for another job when it was too late. I waited for joining letter upto september i.e. 4 months after my result in July, then i was planning to search for another job. But hopefully i got my joining date and location by email and it was 11th october at Coimbatore. Now I m bored typing this blog remaining i will tell you in next blog...........
