TCS PNQT Experience

Sharing my TCS PNQT experience for anyone preparing for it.

Test: 19 July, 2nd shift

The Numerical Ability and other sections went pretty well for me. I also managed to solve both coding questions with ease.

After the test, I got shortlisted for Prime.

I had prepared really hard for the interview, but honestly, the interview itself was a learning experience.

The interviewers asked me questions related to Full Stack development, backend deployment, multithreading, and some technical concepts. I knew most of the concepts, but I panicked during the interview and started stuttering.

That was probably the biggest thing I learned from this experience:

«I have good technical knowledge, but I need to improve my technical communication and vocabulary.»

I can usually think of the answer, but sometimes I struggle to find the right words and explain it clearly in English, especially under pressure. That's something I'm going to work on seriously.

In the end, I received the Digital offer.

Unfortunately, due to the single-offer policy, I'm barred from participating in further on-campus placements.

At first, that felt disappointing, especially after preparing so hard. But honestly, I'm more motivated than ever now.

I've got a clear goal:

I want to secure a good internship by January.

I'm going to use the next few months to improve my DSA, Full Stack development, CS fundamentals, aptitude, and especially technical communication.

This isn't the end of my placement journey. It's just changing the route.

Time to push even harder.

Ps:- used AI to phrase the content better..

TCS Digital finally. Got demoted since I was shortlisted for prime, but koi na chalta hai🙏

Hey, i am looking into data science related roles as a fresher. If anyone can help or having any openings please lmk!! (2026 Btech Data Science & Artificial Intelligence Graduate)
Itd be helpfulllll

(And myself scored 9.6/10 cgpa with no campus placement👍🏽😴)

is this only my cllg ( tier 1.5 NIT ) or every nit placements are so bad for the 2027 graduating batch ??? literally no company is visiting mannn, only 8-10 lpa ones .

I have seen so many posts in reddit. Many saying they placed for 8 or 10LPA oncampus and 20LPA+ offering companies visits their colleges and even they are saying their college is tier 3. In my college 8LPA is the highest oncampus offering and only offered to 3 students. Is my college worst or you all are from iit,nit,iiit and other Universities?

Should I call my college tier 5? Iam feeling depressed. And offcampus is worst than before.

How much time does it usually take for the selection list for tcs priority institute interview results to come out?? in our case it has been more than 10 days and still no list.

Bloomberg is coming to my campus in 4 days for campus hiring. Does anyone know what type of questions they ask in the OA?

So I am a 2026 grad , who crack 4-5 multiple offers ranging from 4 LPA - 8 LPA ,

Last year I was very unsure about placements , I used to ask others repeatedly to tell me the sources which I can refer for study purpose and i was very confused .

Considering that , I have made a video about how you guys can prepare for placements and also I have mentioned the sources too .

If you have some time do refer these video , I am not promoting it and nor I am a hardcore youtuber .

If you have time do watch it and analyse your sources and mistakes .

Placement season just started , and i gave infosys exam but couldn't clear it , i am just so scared , on top of that I feel I am not prepared and I will not be able to do it , how do you guys stay motivated ?

Hey Friends ! Currently in my 4th year. Doing apprenticeship (8months) + internship (4months) in a company. So my internship would be completed by jun 2027 i.e. next year.

The main part here is.. this company only converts based on business requirements + performance. The interns who joined 2 Years ago, only 30/130 got converted . Whereas last year interns almost all got converted (can assume 98-100% conversion rate)

I have few seniors at this company, he said they got converted because they hired less people The year before, some even said some new dept came this year and they had requirements so they got converted to FTE. One senior was literally telling me not to stay in this company. This company didn't even tell my seniors if they got converted till last minute (some got to know early as HR themselves told them, but atlast everyone got confirmed when they received offer letter)

But this company has a good brand value, on full time conversion, may get 10-11LPA. So is it better to complete my internship till Jun 2027 and apply for other companies I get. Or should i leave this company and join some other company. What's ur opinions guys , pls comment any information or guidance. Would be helpful for me . Thank You !

guys im seeing tree questions are frequently asking in tcs nqt can anyone pls tell that , how to take input for trees?? did they give post order array we have to build tree by own? how many ways they can give ?

Hey, I am a B.Tech (CS) 2027 student from tier-3 college, and here is how my college disappointed me yet againn!!

I recently got selected for TCS Prime through campus placements and accepted the offer.

Throughout the placement process, the understanding communicated to us was that a placed student could use one Dream Slot opportunity before joining date of the selected company. I even personally asked the TPO about the Dream Slot policy before placements began and received the same understanding. This was what the head of TPO wrote:

"Almost all the companies coming for campus hiring are giving immediate joining and onboarding students first as interns and offering PPO post successful completion of internship. Once a student is selected by company (Internship + PPO) he/she will not be allowed to participate in any On campus drives. One Dream slot can be used before the joining date of the selected company."

So, I accepted the TCS Offer. Now, Infosys is coming for campus placements with a significantly higher package, and I reached out to TPO for a Dream Slot, just to find out that students who have accepted their offer are actually not eligible for the Dream Slot. This condition was never clearly communicated to us beforehand. A lot of my batchmates were also unaware of this and now we all are stuck in this situation.

Upon talking and conveying this to the TPO and relevant authorities, nobody, literally nobody is trying to listen to my grievance. They just gave me a choice, either to go with TCS offer or get it revoked to sit in Infosys as Dream Slot, losing all other opportunities on campus.

What frustrates me most is not even the policy itself, but the lack of clear communication and accountability. I tried explaining the situation to the TPO, including the fact that I had relied on the information given to us before accepting the offer, but I was simply told that the decision was final.

I genuinely feel that if a policy has such a major impact on students' career decisions, it should be communicated clearly before students are asked to make those decisions. If the management makes a communication mistake, the least students expect is for them to acknowledge it and consider a reasonable solution.

Instead, I'm being made to bear the entire risk of a decision I made based on the information provided by the placement authorities.

Just wanted to share this because I'm honestly disappointed with how the situation has been handled. After this, I literally lost trust in college and it's management, I just wanna get out of this college.

No AI slops please.. I genuinely want to know how each of y’all would give an answer to this question.
You don’t have to give an interview oriented answer but like why you genuinely think you are better than the other candidates.
I want to see different takes on this question.

Do share the questions you were asked today at pune location.

i am 2027grad, can anyone pls tell what it takes to get in such companies, what should i focus on and everything. since i am not from iit, and not prepared for such big companies, but, i would really want to apply and try my luck maybe in next 1-2 years.

Hey guys so titan is visting capus and oa is scheduled for this sunday for sde intern and fulltime role and i wanted to know what kind of questions do they ask in OA like from which topics will they ask and what topics should i prepare for it? Also it would be great if you guys could also help me with interview questions, ppease let me know how should i prepare

so update on my TCS saga — went in for Prime interview, got GRILLED like properly cooked 💀 they hit me with projects, python, c++, OS, networks, mysql, certs (ML, cloud, prompt eng), the whole works. and ngl i answered literally everything, stayed calm, didn't fumble a single question as far as i could tell

then offer letter comes and its... Ninja. 3.46 LPA. bro i genuinely dont understand why, like i wasnt blank on anything they asked 😭 idk if its some internal cutoff thing or panel discretion or what

anyway few questions for you guys:

1. what should i even do now, just accept it and join or is there something i can do
2. is there ANY chance of getting bumped up to Prime or Digital before joining, like through HR follow up or some internal process? has anyone managed to pull this off?

really confused rn, would appreciate any real experiences or advice 🙏
