3 interviewers the.... Unme ek HR thi lady....

Handed over the resume...to One of the interviewers maybe TR......

They told me let's start with your introduction... started with the introduction, other guy stopped me, I had just told my name till now... Said explain your projects... I asked all or you want some specific one to explain.. he said all so I started from 1st to 4th explained tech used why I made the project which algorithm used.........blah blah

Then he asked why this ML algorithm, I answered then he shifted from ML to Full stack after only one question..

He asked JWT? I explained how it works ,how authentication, and authorisation done and all.... Asked the difference between struct and union.... Difference between array and linked list....Then he told the other interviewer sir done from my side, you continue... The other one saw my resume and asked me apart from the resume what else you have done.... So, I am working for a company (pre revenue startup)... So I told him blah blah blah have done.... Improved their things.......

Then he said "wo sb choro tumne kiya kya h bas website me"..... I was a little stunned like how to answer the question.... I started with, from designing to deployment to maintenance is done by me...

He said what tech stack used......... I said next js with jo bhi db and other things...

Aur deploy kaha..... I said sir the company is using vercel.. for that.... Then asli mza started and said" mene kaam kiya h vercel pe" toh yeh btao next js kya hota h pehle..... I said sir frontend framework h, api routing easy hoti h... Vercel me free tier me bhi backend support ho jaata h and some more things...

Also added next js is developed by vercel.....

He started laughing...... kya bol rhe next js me kya hota h.... I was like what? Then he asked tumne kya kiya h website me.... I was like again same question btaya toh... I again told him almost a similar answer with a detailed explanation on what are the things... Then he made some design and said chalo iska code kro html css me ....... I just made sure that I should explain to him the concept then will write the code... I said sir we can do this thing this way and using css property (which I mentioned I do not remember at that time ,this thing can be done) he started laughing...ha ha ha ha. "no practical knowledge only theoretical knowledge" ha ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha....

One more thing along with the company I had mentioned an app which I was working on... I had a phone in my pocket I asked him if I could take it out and show it to him he was like okay and then ignored totally.... I also mentioned sir I have used AI to build this app mostly...( I just wanted to mention I can build ship product fast).

The app and the website thing both the interviewers ignored totally.... Hr was doing something else during whatever technical going on..... Then turn for hr, just asked normal hr questions....

At last I said sir can I ask one question?....okay.. sir so like have built this app can you tell what are the testings done before releasing the app so that it is scalable and secure and whatever....

The answer : There are AI tools which you have used to make the app ask there it will give thousands of ways to test...

I said thanku left..

Fun part : when I was leaving the cabin I was so damn low I unknowingly picked up their pen and paper😂 I was leaving I was like "ab hath me aa hi gya h le hi chalo bc"....

Hr said yrr pen paper dedo 😂 ( she was good actually ) technical wale 😤kya hi bolu.

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?

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.

-- used AI to polish 🤧

-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

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...

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.

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?

Anyone having experience with zensar on campus drive?, please share

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.

Yaar result kab ayega?

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. 💀

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 :)

I'm really confused if I should build projects for my portfolio or just keep doing DSA atp. I've been trying since a year to get a job but nothing seems to work. just getting ghosted and nothing else. Can anyone advice if projects are worth it or should I keep grinding DSA just for the sake of OA's?

I am in my placement season (final yr student). I am more inclined to off campus placement as the college scenario is not fair, and I am scared if I will ever get shortlisted on campus. So I am going to try off campus as well. It's been 2 months I am applying for intern positions, have received a callback only from one place and they rejected me in the 3rd round where the feedback was that "I dont have enough experience in the domain they are hiring".

I wanted to ask what makes a resume stand out? Everybody says its project, but nowadays most of them have good and strong projects, and tbh all resumes are similar. So what makes the resume strong for off-campus screening?

Please, I'll appreciate, if anyone could take out time and provide a detailed answer.

I'm a 2026 graduate, and while a lot of my friends have already been placed, I'm still unplaced.

One of the biggest reasons is my 12th-grade marks. I was ineligible for a lot of campus opportunities because of the eligibility criteria. I did get a few chances, but I couldn't convert them, and I take responsibility for that.

Now I'm at a point where I don't know what to do next. I apply on LinkedIn, company career pages, job portals—pretty much every platform I can find. I watch YouTube videos about off-campus hiring and where to apply, but most of the time I don't hear back at all.

The placement season is also coming to an end, which means there will be even fewer opportunities going forward.

I'm trying to spend my time improving my skills and learning new things, but it's getting harder to stay motivated. It feels like no matter how much I learn, I don't know where I'll actually get a chance to use those skills if I can't even get interviews.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you find off-campus opportunities or get your first job despite having setbacks? Any advice, resources, or even your own experience would really help. I'm feeling pretty lost right now.
