TCS Interview Questions
& Process

My interview call came early. The first round was Technical + Managerial. I greeted the panel members and they asked me to sit. For around 5 seconds, we just smiled at each other, probably to make me feel comfortable. Since I had attended other interviews before, I wasn’t that nervous. I broke the silence by asking if I could introduce myself. They said yes, and I gave a brief intro covering my educational qualifications, technical skills, on-site internship, and my projects. Overall, it was a smooth and friendly process. Anyone preparing should revise their projects, brush up on OOPS, basic HTML/CSS (if you have mentioned Web Development in your resume), and be ready for both technical and casual conversations.

The interview process was moderate. The questions asked were basically from my resume, my background, and my locality, and it was really good. But I don't know what went wrong, and it's been 8 months since, and I haven't received any update regarding whether I'm selected or not. I guess it is kind of rejection, and this thing is really annoying. There is some hope that remains in the mind, and the job situation is so bad right now, the job market literally sucks. I wish I haven't opted this career path.

The interview was just one round, and it had both HR and technical parts. They started by asking me some HR questions about my background, what I want to do in my career, and why I applied here. Then, the technical part was all about my projects, especially the one where I built a resume screening system using an LLM. I had to talk about the system's architecture, how I picked the model, how I designed the prompts, what metrics I used to evaluate it, and how I deployed it. They also wanted to see if I understood Large Language Models well, the difficulties of putting them into practice, and if I could solve problems. It felt pretty structured and was a decent challenge overall.

TCS Ninja hiring is pretty structured and predictable, which actually works in your favor if you prepare smartly. The process usually starts with an online test that has three sections: Numerical Ability, Verbal Ability, and Reasoning Ability, along with basic Programming/MCQs and sometimes coding questions (easy–moderate level, often C/C++/Java/Python). Candidates who clear the test are called for an interview, which is a single integrated round covering technical, managerial, and HR aspects. In the interview, they mainly check fundamental programming concepts (OOPs, DBMS, OS, basics of DSA), problem-solving approach, understanding of projects or internships, and your communication and attitude. HR questions focus on flexibility, willingness to learn, relocation, and long-term commitment to TCS. Overall, TCS Ninja interviews are less about deep theory and more about clarity of basics, confidence, and cultural fit, so being calm, honest, and structured in answers matters a lot.
