Hi friends,
I am Soubhagya Chhotaray from GITA, BHUBANESWAR. It was TCS DRIVE to Orissa on 14th August, held at ITER. AROUND 1400+ SIT FOR WRITTEN, 462 FINALLY SELECTED.
We new about the new pattern still a few didn’t know the new pattern.
The rounds are
1-Written(online)
2-Technical Interview
3-HR
14TH AUGUST 2010
we were given different slots, my slot was 8:00 AM,around 400+ candidate per slot.
we got the instuction about the test.
ROUND-1 (elimination round)
Only 35 question in 60 minute.
There is negative marking. So be sure before answering. The questions were from age,numbers,time and distance,average,permutation, and 2 or 3 from reasoning as well. Most of the question were lengthy. even more than 10 lines(but real question is in 2 or 3 line).
DONT WASTE TIME IN READING THE WHOLE PASSAGE.
Only find the question and answer it. try to read and answer within 30 secs.
Otherwise skip and try the next one. Most of the question were easy and all can do it.
TRY TO ANSWER 25 CORRECTLY.
I don’t know the real cutoff but I answer 32. I think they are almost correct.
Our written Result declared at 11:00AM, 150+ cleared this round.
