NIT DURGAPUR, 17-18 JULY

Tcs took an online test consisting of two sections
1) verbal + aptitude
2) psychometry

person clearing the cutoff in (1) will only be allowed to give psychometry. Verbal section was a little tough as all the words were new. I will advise u to go through the high frequency words of baron’s GRE book. I am unable to send the passages as nobody remembered them but they were similar to those given in baron’s GRE book. They have a huge database for verbal so be prepared for new words. Aptitude questions will be similar and psychometry will be same .
