I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Tata Consultancy Services (Pune) in Mar 2016
Interview
I received call from TCS talent acquisition team regarding the opening for Java Developer.So the interview started with the first round which was a technical one so i was asked normal questions from core java from topics oops,exception handling ,collections and threads then as per mentioned in my resume the interviewer just moved to spring and spring MVC with hibernate then few basics questions from restful web services as it was also mentioned in my resume.The standard of the questions were intermediate.Then it might be the project requirement that after clearing first round i again received call from TCS asking for the second round and the second round was on database which i had not mentioned anywhere in my resume but i prepared and went for the second round again only the basic questions were asked in the second round.So I cleared the second round so after that round was quickly followed by HR round where basic HR questions were asked and package discussion took place.
