Written(Aptitude)
-------
The written exam was not as easy as it was potrayed in the sample papers of TCS
found on the net and obtained from other seniors.The pattern was the same,but
the standard of the exam was very high,especially for me as i did not prepare
for GRE.There were high-sounded words for synonyms.40% of them were of common
words.
Critical reasoning,fill up the blanks....sections were trickish.I had to read them
atleast thrice to get an idea of what it contained.Quantitative was the easiest
section.I had a timeout for verbal section,so i left 2 of the words.
Anyway i heaved a sigh of relief when i was through the aptitude test
Written(Psychometric test)
--------------------------
The Psycho test consisted of 150 Q's,the same questions which u find in the sample
papers.But they were divided into 3 sections of 50 each.A few people of my college
overlooked this and answered only 1 section.
Anyway i answered only 140 of the Q's,as i already knew that the lowercutoff was 90
and uppercutoff was around 130(as i heard it from my seniors).
We were asked to leave the hall after the written exam.
The results were given for us after a timegap of 12hrs approx.
So again i am through!!!!!!!!!!!!
Out of 46 in my class ,18 of them were through the psycho test.
The next was to attend the interview.

There was a guy and a lady to interview me.
