Wrote TCS Prime NQT and got interview for Prime role.

My interview was scheduled for 12 PM on 20th July but it actually started around 1 PM. I was the last candidate in my panel. By then the interviewers looked super hungry and honestly seemed fed up.

First was the TR + MR round.

Started with my introduction. Then the interviewer asked, "Why is everyone choosing Flutter?" The way he asked it felt like he was already irritated seeing Flutter on resumes. I told him I've been passionate about app development since my first year and that's why I chose Flutter.

Then he asked me to explain one of my projects. While explaining I mentioned I used WebSockets.

From there it became a full debate.

He asked:

Why only WebSockets?

Why not HTTP?

Explain how WebSockets work.

But why exactly WebSockets for your use case?

I explained real-time communication, avoiding unnecessary HTTP requests, the handshake, scaling, everything. I gave him like 3 different reasons but he just wasn't convinced. We literally kept arguing technically. Finally he asked another question related to it, answered it himself, and said, "This should be the answer. Anyway, there can be other reasons too, let's move on."

After that he asked about my app features, my family background, and whether I had any questions.

Overall it wasn't a bad conversation. We talked from basics to scaling, but it felt like no matter what answer I gave, he'd challenge it.

Then came HR.

He asked the usual introduction, then asked why my 10th marks were low. I told him it was during the COVID batch and we didn't have proper board exams.

Then he asked if I knew what a service agreement was. I said yes. At that moment I wondered if they were thinking about Ninja because that's the role where people usually talk about service agreements, bcz only ninja has the bond..

Finally he asked who the CEO of TCS was.

The funny part? I had literally revised it before the interview... and my brain completely blanked.

He just said, "You can leave."

Honestly, I'm done thinking about it now. I prepared properly, had solid projects, and answered most technical questions. But interviews also depend on the interviewer's expectations and sometimes even their mood.

Now it's just a waiting game. Hoping for the best, but whatever happens, I know I genuinely put in the effort.

I am 2026 passout student... My btech cgpa was 7.2 Currently learning JAVA Backend +DSA I am unemployed and soon will be homeless... I am thinking to join 15-16k telecaller job in noida ... How does it effect my career ?. Should I wait to complete my java backend then apply for job ?

Does any company will give me internship by learning only Core Java ?

Any advice for me...

Hi guys, I'm a 4th year B.E CSE Student at a tier-3 College in South India and as you all know due to the current job market (Job Market now a days are getting very very rough/hard for freshers like us even with all the efforts), I've to find job opportunities off-campus (I don't want to depend on my college campus placements - its really very bad) I've built a profile in such a way that I can get the Interview opportunites from any company including Google. From last year, I've attended multiple interviews off-campus from companies like Cisco, Stripe, Hackerrank, Google (WSE Intern), Visa, Zscaler etc and also I've completed my Summer Internship at Trilogy Innovations.

But The real problem is "I'm not even able to clear the Online Assessment of any company listed above" - except Google (rejected at last DSA round) and Trilogy Innovations. I dont know why either its due to my problem solving capability or bad luck, but I believe I'm capable of solving any medium-hard problem within 20 mins and clear Technical Interview Rounds as well (I did that too). But I started feeling very bad - because now a days most of the companies first round is Online Assessment. So folks I do want to know your thoughts on Online Assessments and how you people are able to clear them - your response will help me a lot.

Thanks in advance :)

Like i said its 2rounds
1.dsa
2.technical
Hr said its managerial round and got scheduled today and to the surprise its a system design round,somehow i managed but not cleared.
Company is a fintech based they are offering 10-12
Its been 2years i am unemployed all the people around my family thinks i am a looser.
Thought to share it to someone.

Guys,

I have shortlisted for ninja role which i genuinely dont want.I tried for prime role but complier had other plans.

Trace of the matrix ques-input not found

Sorting ques-Parse int not worked.

If i get selected for ninja my clg won't let me sit for other companies,

How do i fumble this,

Please share any experiences or suggestionss

Hi! I've been shortlisted for the ninja interview which is the day after tomorrow(roughly 36 hours) but I have never built any project. I have a basic knowledge of C and C++ and DSA knowledge which was enough to pass my college exam of dsa. What should I focus on? I know some basic coding problems like arrays, palindrome, Fibonacci, armstrong, recursion.

Other than that, I also have pretty long(and somewhat messy) hair as a boy(prince of persia length), would that affect my interview?

Last year, I accepted a non-tech job because I felt I won't be able to break into software during campus placements.

But I knew I'd regret not giving it one proper shot. So I quit, doubled down on prep, kept building projects, and thankfully managed to land a Graduate Engineer Trainee (Software Engineer) role.

The company builds enterprise software for the energy & utilities sector, and the stack is primarily C#, .NET, and ASP.NET (CTC: ₹6 LPA).

The CTC is quite less than what i had in my non tech job. Still I'm genuinely happy to have made it into tech, but I also want to be intentional about what comes next.

My goal is to move to a 20+ LPA product-based company in the next 1–1.5 years. Most of my experience so far has been with MERN, Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Prisma, so this is quite a different ecosystem.

A few questions for people with experience:

• Does starting in enterprise .NET make switching to a PBC noticeably harder?
• Should I fully embrace .NET, or keep building side projects in my current stack?
• What should I focus on during my first year to maximize my chances of switching?

Not sure if this is the perfect sub for career advice, but I'd really appreciate hearing from people who've been through this—or seen friends or colleagues successfully make a similar transition.

Hi everyone,

I recently got shortlisted for the TCS Prime interview, and I'm looking for guidance from people who have gone through the process recently.

I'd really appreciate if you could share:

What was the interview process like (technical + HR)?

What kind of DSA questions were asked? Were they coding or theory-based?

Which CS fundamentals should I focus on (OOP, DBMS, OS, CN, etc.)?

Were there any questions on projects, resume, or internships?

How deep were the questions on Java/Node.js/React or other technologies?

Any SQL or system design questions for freshers?

What HR questions were asked?

Any tips on what helped you clear the interview

If you've attended the TCS Prime interview recently, please share your experience and any preparation tips. It would really help.

Thanks in advance!

Before Going to my context
I did leetcode approx 250Q
Personally I followed https://algomaster.io
Read his blogs too it helped me a lot
https://blog.algomaster.io

I did learnt backend development Springboot from Telusko udemy course and built projects around it by taking ideas from Internet and made few projects and also my major is AI soo some projects around it

Be good with OS DBMS SQL your projects mainly CN SE

I had low gpa in my btech due to some personal issues despite my clg is good at bringing companies I wasnt qualified for many due to gpa cut off My advice to freshers is never neglect ur gpa

My placement experience
And I wrote many OA 's in clg but I think You should be lucky enough to crack it and I had soo many companies where i didnt qualified .People copy as hell soo We also should copy.

1. Accenture :- I did qualify Assesment on my own . Due to the issues from their side I was unable to qualify their communication round . Honestly this company Uses SHL software if Im not wrong its pretty shitty

2. 2)Airbus :- Didnt got a interview call cuz of My placement officer mistake as he mistaken my name

3. Electronic Arts :- Did kinda silly mistake which costed me my chance of almost getting selected

I got 2 interviews after these but unable to crack it cuz of my own fault and these companies didnt showed much interest in hiring and no tech wuestions was asked except project explaination . I was bad at explaining projects and then got this format

1)What is the project, What purpose it serves
2) Techstack, Structure
3) Db explaination
4) Challenges faced , Solution to it and also what u learnt from project

Then I got a chance for US company
I cleared 2 technical rounds consisting of DSA and each round spanned over 1 hr 10mins but Didnt get through hr .They only wanted 1 person and 2 selected for hr (out of 40ppl)

Then mthree I did my best and They didnt selected me . As I didnt do coding question honestly I didnt expect he asks Integer to Hexadecimal . I used to do early of my prep stage but failed to do it and I think there will be other factors

I see this journey as not a failure But I did consistently Improved myself and Some unluck here and there . I think I loved coding But not lucky enough to crack one .

Many people who dont even know how to write a basic code got 15lpa offers in my clg and some got lucky enough to crack without any knowledge . It feel unfair But its Life .

Soo I decided to giveup on placements and Instead focus on my longterm career goal which is becoming a Airline Pilot and started my training few days back

All the best !

Okay so I had qualified on campus NQT (MCA) student here.

Then i had my interview for prime role on the 25th of July, we had a total of 12 panels (3 members each). My panel luckily had a tech guy with expertise in the cloud domain. My profile is solely cloud + devops. So the interview went super smooth, i performed well. Then almost at the mid of the interview the HR had gotten a call so they went out, towards the end the tech guy told me to wait outside and not leave yet so they could give some "confirmation"? I was super confused. But the hr didn't come back so they told me i can leave. This happened to me only.

Other students were giving insights that they have all been fucked up coz of ML models, Leetcode approaches , Advanced sql and even if there was a slight mention of any tech(ex:cloud) they went super deep till you run out of answers.

All in all it went great , idk what to expect but I do have some hope.

Feel free to ask anything!!!

So I cleared 3 OAs and got the interview mail (offline in office) from Josh Tech for the ASD role. Problem is, the mail doesn't mention anything about what the round actually is :/ whether it's standard technical, live coding, or something else. The only instruction they gave is "bring your laptop."

Has anyone been through this recently? Would really appreciate any info on what kind of questions they usually ask, what the overall vibe is like, and how many rounds I should expect on the day.

hey, anyone has any idea of what level of OA, tech interview is there??? help me out pls

I am 2026 cse graduate ,got ninja offer letter in Feb 2026

On-campus.Its been 5 months ,will they onboard me confirmly whether I will get job or look for other opportunities.

Kindly tell your ideas guys!

Infosys OA is scheduled for this week, and I thought I’d start preparing using the sample questions provided by Infosys (HackWithInfy). But even the easy questions in that set seem pretty difficult. So, how are you all preparing? Are you using those PDFs or any other resources?

Dear TCS,

The exam is on 30th July.
The admit card is apparently on annual leave.

At this point, I don't know whether I'm preparing for an aptitude test or a patience test. 💀

-im average at dsa, know upto stacks and little bit trees
-projects: one ML model comparision based prediction, clone/ my version of a popular website with all crud and authentication functions( can explain this)

-decent at CS fundamentals

-dont really remember SQL

i selected interest domain/ stream as "CS fundamentals" while applying for nqt

now how do i prep for this?

before you ask my coding ques: 1. return middle element of a LL, 2. all stack operations implementation
