I have attended the off campus interview conducted by TCS at Vardaman Engineering college, Shamsabad, Hyderabad. Aroung 5000 people attended the interview. The interview consists of written test followed by technical round and HR interview. Written test consists of 40 questions with negative marking. I have answered 24. In the technical round they asked about oops concepts and java and about the Project we did in the final year. In HR round they have asked abot TCS and what is meant by Global Network Delivery Model. I have answered them.. He got impressed and told me that i have selected. That was the happiest moment

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Amsterdam (Netherlands) (took 5 days)
Ours was pretty standard.
1 Recruiter reviews application
2. Recruiter phone interviews
3. Assessment
4. Hiring Manager interview
5. Background checks
One key frustration is that quite often candidates are not prepared for a phone interview. They haven't found a quiet place or in some cases schedule the interview for when they know they will be driving in their car.

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 2 weeks)
I was interviewed on campus by two TCS recruiters. Coming into the interview, I thought I would be asked technical questions regarding the position I was applying for(Software Engineer) but all I got was HR/Behaviroal questions like : 1) What do you know about TCS? 2) What are your two biggest achievements 3) And describe a time you faced some difficulties working in a group and what did you do to overcome it.
The interview was fair, I just wished I prepared a little more to answer the behavioral questions. The interview lasted about 45 minutes.
