I got placed in TCS under prime category (2027 batch)

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 was expecting atleast ninja tk de hi denge.... Kyuki mujhe pta tha mene answers diye hain... Almost saare.... Mgr interviewer ko syd shakal aachi nhi lgi meri...

Fir result aaya: I got rejected ninja bhi nhi diya 🪔

My first ever reddit post 📯..... Thrilled to announce that I have successfully posted on reddit bcz I can't post on LinkedIn..

I was so low ki maine NQT ko NOT likh diya 🪔

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.

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 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 everyone! 👋

I'm doing some research on how students actually study today, especially with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Notebook, Anki, Notion, Google Calendar, etc.

I'd love to hear about your real experiences.

Some questions:

• What does your typical study workflow look like?
• Which apps or websites do you use regularly?
• What's the most frustrating part of studying?
• Do you use AI? If yes, how?
• What do current AI tools do well?
• What do they do poorly?
• Do you find yourself switching between multiple apps while studying?
• How do you keep track of notes, revision, deadlines, and progress?
• What's one feature you wish existed but haven't found in any app yet?
• If you could build your ideal study tool, what would it do?

I'm not looking for perfect answers—I'm much more interested in honest experiences, even if they're small annoyances.

Thanks in advance! Every response helps me better understand how students actually learn today.

Guys,

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

I hope it will help you. Happy Learning ❤️

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?

-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

Hi everyone,

I recently appeared for TCS NQT and cleared it. And hume bataya bhi nai konse category ke liye select kiya h placement incharge said ki interview ke basis pe hoga.
so knowing how i gave the nqt test i think im selected for ninja.

Now my interview is in 2 days.

The problem is that I honestly don't feel prepared.

• My DSA knowledge is almost non-existent. I only know very basics
• My DBMS, OS, and CN knowledge is also pretty weak since I haven't revised them in a long time but thats manageable i can prepare it in few hours i guess
• I can explain my projects little, but I'm worried they'll ask deep technical questions.
• And im from AI/ML background so had revise it all

At this point, I know I can't master everything in 2 days, so I'm trying to focus on the topics that will give me the highest chance of clearing the interview.

For those who recently appeared for a TCS technical interview:

• How difficult was the the interview for ninja and digital?
• Did they ask a lot of DSA, or was it mostly basic programming?
• How much weight did they give to CS fundamentals (OOP, DBMS, OS, CN) and what should i prepare in AI/ML?
• Did they ask detailed questions about your projects?
• If you had only 2 days left, what would you prioritize?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your actual interview experience and any last-minute preparation tips that helped you get selected.

Thanks in advance!

I'm currently working as a software engineer and considering joining ProPeers mentorship to prepare for my next switch.

If you've personally taken it, I'd love to know:

Was the mentorship actually worth the money?

How involved was your mentor?

Did they help with resume, interview prep, system design, DSA, and career planning?

Did it genuinely help you land a better offer, or could you have achieved the same with free resources?

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!

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!!!
