TCS NQT Exam: After clearing the NQT Test of TCS with 86 percentile, I got shortlisted for the Ninja profile.
Technical Interview: In the technical, they asked me to introduce myself and I gave the usual introduction of 1-2 minutes. Then they asked me about my preference for programming language and I said Java. Questions on Java were as follows:
- OOPS Concepts
- Java Database Connection (JDBC): https://www.neveropen.co.za/jdbc-tutorial/
- Platform Independence of Java: https://www.neveropen.co.za/java-platform-independent/
- String Mutability of Java: https://www.neveropen.co.za/java-string-is-immutable-what-exactly-is-the-meaning/
- Memory allocation while compiling the program: https://www.neveropen.co.za/stack-vs-heap-memory-allocation/
Next, They asked me about my projects. I used Javascript in Frontend and Php-MySQL in the backend. My questions were:
- My roles & responsibilities in the project
- Some OOPS concepts in PHP
- Basic questions on MySQL
- How did I deploy the application?
HR Questions were very Basic:
- Do you wish to relocate?
- Why TCS?
- Are you flexible in rotating shifts?
That’s it folks, be very sure of what you put in your resume. Overall, knowledge of any one programming language & some database concepts should suffice for Non-CSE students.
If you are from CS or IT background, chances are high you could be asked about your core subjects(DBMS, Operating Systems, Computer Networks) Stay Positive, Confident & do not lose hope.
Wish you all the Best!!
