I got placed in INFOSYS,TCS &FORD.Thanx to Chetana mam.

Hai friends,
 
 I got placed in Infosys,Tcs and Ford.I am very much thankful to 
chetana madam and to all our friends,with whom I am able to reach this atmost 
level to acheive this great success.
 
I was the member of chetana from march,2004.Each and every mail helped 
me for clearing the written tests and to face the interviews with a 
confidence.
 
I had already posted the interview pattern which I had in Infosys.
 
Herewith I am sending the interview pattern of TCS
 
I cleared the written test conducted in anna university on 29th august 
and they asked me to fill in the personal application form.They 
informed that the interview will be in the forthcoming week.I got the call 
from TCS ,mentioning that my technical interview is scheduled on 1st of 
september.I attended the interview in TCS office,karapakkam,old 
mahapalipuram road.
 
 
They said that my interview is around 12:30pm but I was called only by 
4:30pm.Two people interviewed me.The interviewers were good.They first 
introduced themselves and asked me to brief about myself.
 
   TECHNICAL ROUND:
1.Tell about yourself?
2.Detailed explanation about the academic project.
3.Questions from the project work
4.They started questioning about the subjects which I mentioned in the 
personal information form.
5.What are pointers in c?
6.How do u declare pointers ?
7.What is the use of pointers?
8.What is GNU in Linux?
9.What are the ringing tones in telephone?
busy tone,........
10.Why linux is called open source code?
11.Explain the layers in OSI model?
12.What are protocols used in these layers?
13.Detailed explanation of IP and TCP/IP?
14.What will happen when you get a second call in telephone?
15.They asked me to write one c program.
   Finally,they checked all my certificates.
Any queries from your side:
1.I asked about the training program.
2.What do they expect from the freshers.
 
TIPS
     * The important thing is our resume.Every company question us only 
from that.
  *Lot of people mentioned c,c++,java..... in personal form.So, the 
interviewers fired questions on all the technologies.It is not the no of 
technologies which will help to prove ourselves,but only the stuff in 
that fields.
  *Even if we know 1 or 2 fields,we should be clear in that.
I mentioned only C in the languages column,so they asked me only from 
c(not c++ or any other)  
         they made me wait for 1 hour and they said I cleared that 
round.
 I was then asked to take up the HR cum Technical round in Vadapalani 
Tcs the very next day.
     This technical interview itself took around one day.(for 
processing,interviews and results)
 
HR CUM TECHNICAL ROUND:
   They scheduled 2pm as the time for 2nd round of interview.Again a 
long wait and finally I attended around 6pm.
   Only one guy interviewed me.
First 5-10 minutes is purely HR.
1.about yourself
2.family background.
3.hobbies,interests
4.Is it a long wait from afternoon?
(Yes,sir.but it is nice to be in TCS premises.very good ambience,i feel 
great to spent my day in TCS campus.....)
(full of blaah.... blaah... nothing is real ,really the waiting  was 
very very tedious and boring).   
5.why TCS?
(AGAIN blaah...:TCS provides full fledged career more than a doing a 
simple job.It is known worldwide for freshers training....)
6.What do know about TCS?
 
 
Here comes the difficulty:
7.What is the spanning tree ?
8.what is hamming code?
9.how it works?where it is used?
10.what can be minimum layers with which  a network between systems can 
be formed?
  I said session and presentation layers can be removed bcoz without 
these 2 layers a network can be formed but without any other layers it is 
impossible
10.write a program to swap 2 nos without using temporary variable
LOGIC:
       A=8 B=5
     A= A+B
  B=A-B
 A=A-B
     WORK IT OUT
               A =A+B
                A=13
              B=A-B
               13-5
             B=8
           A=A-B
            13-8
           A=5;B=8.
     This what i remember.He was very cool and made me comfortable.
The interview lasts for 30 minutes.Lastly ,he wished  and greeted me 
and I left the panel with a smile.
 
And they me their company corporate number and I was asked to call them 
on  9th sep to know the results.When I rang up they said "I got 
selected and I will receive the call letter within 20 days".
 
ALL THE BEST FOR ALL JOB SEEKERS.
 
EVEN IF YOU FAIL ONCE YOU CAN BE CONFIDENT THAT SOME  
 
MORE BETTER COMPANY IS WAITING FOR YOU.
 
HARD-WORK NEVER FAILS.
 
EVERY-ONE WILL ACHEIVE ONE-DAY.
 
Bye,
Indira.
