• Company: TCS – Tata Consultancy Services

• Role: TCS Digital

• Application Through: TCS NQT - On-Campus

• Interview Date: 22 August 2026

• Mode: Offline

• Difficulty: Medium

I appeared for the TCS NQT on-campus recruitment process for the TCS Digital role. The overall selection process consisted of an online assessment followed by a personal interview. The interview mainly focused on Java, OOPs, SQL, basic coding, and HR/company-related questions.

Round-by-Round Experience

Online Assessment

The online assessment consisted of Aptitude and Coding sections.

I performed well in both sections. The coding questions were manageable with a good understanding of basic data structures and problem-solving.

The coding problems I encountered included:

Removing duplicate elements from an array

Combining two linked lists in ascending order

The aptitude section covered the usual areas of numerical and logical problem-solving.

Overall, I found the assessment to be of medium difficulty.

Technical Interview

Duration: Approximately 45 minutes Mode: Offline

The technical interview focused mainly on Java, OOP concepts, coding, and SQL.

Coding

The interviewer asked me to write a coding solution of my choice. I was given the flexibility to choose a problem and demonstrate my approach and coding ability.

The coding discussion was used to understand my problem-solving approach and programming fundamentals.

Java and OOP Questions

Some of the questions asked were:

• Why is Java platform independent?

• What is polymorphism?

• What is encapsulation?

• Write a program demonstrating encapsulation.

• Explain the concepts used in the code.

The interviewer was interested in understanding whether I knew the concepts clearly rather than simply memorizing definitions.

SQL

I was also asked to write SQL queries. The questions were based on basic SQL concepts and query-writing ability.

The technical discussion was primarily centered around Java, OOPs, coding, and SQL.

HR / Managerial Discussion

After the technical discussion, the interview moved toward HR and general questions.

Some of the questions asked were:

• Tell me about yourself.

• Why do you want to join TCS?

• Who was the first CEO/leader of TCS?

• Who is the current CEO of TCS?

• When was TCS founded?

• Questions related to my leadership experience.

Since I had mentioned my club activities and leadership responsibilities, the interviewer asked follow-up questions related to leadership.

I explained my experience in handling responsibilities, coordinating activities, and working with other students.

The company-related questions were particularly important because they tested whether I had researched TCS before attending the interview. TCS was established in 1968, while the current CEO & MD is K. Krithivasan.

Projects

Interestingly, I was not asked any questions about my projects during the interview.

The interview instead focused more on: Java OOPs Coding SQL HR questions TCS-related questions Leadership and extracurricular activities Overall Experience

The interview lasted around 45 minutes and was conducted offline.

I felt that the overall difficulty was medium. The technical questions were mainly based on fundamental concepts rather than advanced topics. Having a clear understanding of Java, OOPs, SQL, and basic coding helped me handle the technical discussion.

The HR portion also included questions about TCS and my extracurricular activities. Since I had mentioned my club involvement, the interviewer explored my leadership experience through follow-up questions.

Overall, the interview was a combination of technical fundamentals, coding, SQL, company knowledge, and behavioral questions.

Final Outcome

I was selected for the TCS Digital role through the on-campus TCS NQT recruitment process.
