“Success is a
result of a ton of hard work with a slight touch of smartness.” A Job with the
Leading MNC like Tata Consultancy Services is the aim for every Engineering
Student and when I got this Opportunity through TCS Digital it was like a dream
come true. Campus Placements are a very integral part of Engineering. Having a
Job before you finish your last year gives you a high stack of confidence to
face the industry.
The First Round of almost every
Company is the Quantitative Aptitude Test. The main Key to crack this round is
Practice, practice and loads of practice. Till you don’t get a flavor of all
the various types of questions that would be asked you won’t be able to face
this Aptitude Round. TCS has the ‘National Qualifier Test’ (Ninja) which
consists of 4 Sections: Verbal, Quantitative, Technical and Coding. The Verbal
Section Consists of 15 questions the Time allotted to this section is 10 mins.
Most of these questions would be fill up the blanks with articles, synonyms and
Sentence rearrangement. The Quant Section will have 15 questions the Time in
this section would be 30 mins, it is not advisable to give 2 mins to each
question, a common mistake made by many students. Try to wind up and solve the
easy questions in a less amount of time so that you can give more time to the
difficult and time consuming ones. These questions are from general Aptitude
Topics like Time-Rate-Work, P&C, Probability, Ages, Number Systems, etc. The
technical section has 10-15 questions and the time allotted would be 20-25
mins. This section is comparatively of moderate difficulty. The Coding section
will have 1 problem statement and 30 mins to solve it. The Tricky part in
Aptitude is Negative Marking. Read the INSTRUCTIONS carefully understand them
completely and then proceed.
The Preparation for Aptitude can
be started from 1st Year itself but if you’re in the 7th
semester and if you’ve still not started practicing aptitude daily then it’s a
quite alarming situation. Use any Book to take up aptitude questions or better
lookup on the internet. Websites like Faceprep, Indiabix.etc provide an
adrenaline of questions. I myself used a book called ‘Aptipedia’, It has all
the questions topic wise and with increasing difficulty. Solving Company
specific Mock Tests in allotted time is another great practice to deal with the
pressure during the test. One key to keep in Mind is that the Company is not
judging our Math solving skills, from Aptitude it is actually judging our
Problem Solving Skills so keep in mind that most of the questions can be solved
by Approximation and Basic Logical Tricks. The training by Sanir Kittur Sir
from APTECH helped me the most to crack this round. His Logical Insight to
every problem made it very easy to solve. The Aptitude Round Result does not
only depend on your knowledge of Aptitude it also depends on the state of your
mind while giving the test, its necessary to have a calm state of mind and to
control your nervousness as it may lead to own disadvantage.
The Bonus round for Ninja Test
Toppers is the Digital Test which gives you an opportunity to get a higher
package. This Digital Test has Increased Difficulty and advance level
questions. A tip to crack this test is to focus on the Coding Section and Pass
all the Test Cases. Here too the Negative Marking Coin plays a vital role. If
you crack this test you get a chance to give interviews for digital role else
you can continue with the Ninja interviews.
Regarding the Preparation for
Interviews I would say, prepare 100% of your Resume. The questions will be
asked on the basis of what you’ve written in your Resume. So be careful while
preparing your Resume, do not put unnecessary things that you don’t fully know
about, that would lead to some unwanted questions. The Flow of your Interview
is in your hands, Answer in a way that the next question will automatically be
from your previous Answer. The questions would judge your knowledge about the
technologies you’ve mentioned in your Resume.
A Final but a very crucial tip
from my side Confidence plays a very important role in cracking any challenge
any test. The Outcome depends 70% on your knowledge and 30% on your confidence
with which you present your Knowledge.
I would like to thank all my
teachers and our HOD for their precious guidance and encouragement. I would
express my gratitude to our Dean Training & Placement Suhel Sayyad Sir and
the whole Campus Placement Team for Mentoring, Motivating and guiding me to
success. Also I want to thank Sanir Kittur Sir and the whole APTECH team for
the valuable training they provided. I would like to express my gratitude to my
College, Annasaheb Dange College of Engineering and Technology for providing me
this platform where I could achieve my dreams.
