3 Questions based on Data Interpretations were asked. Among which
A Venn diagram Problem(I don’t remember the figures).
A Bar Chart Problem(Very Simple).
References: For Aptitude section it is enough if we are thorough with all types of problems from R.S.Agarwal and refer previous question papers
CRITICAL REASONING:
Three Questions were given I don’t remember the exact questions. So I would like to only mention the type of questions, which I had.

1) There were 3 cities namely A, B, C ( California ). Distance to each and the expense for taking each route was given. Costs were given in terms of dollars and cents (Relation b/w dollars and cents should be known.100cents=1$).

Four Questions based on this was asked such as which is the shortest route, less expensive etc.
2) There is a big University and a small college beside. Professors from University were M Senior Prof for Mathematics, J HOD of English Dept, L who knows Urdu and Professors from college were N who knows English well, D HOD of Latin Dept, and Y Senior Prof for Mathematics. There was a function to be conducted together by both the colleges and hence some conditions like
Two Professors from the University has to be chosen.
There cannot be Professors related to the same stream.
Team should consist of three members.
Four Questions based on the above part was given.
3) Six children are selected for the chorus line in the school play: Andrea, Beatrice, Consuelo, Denise, Eve, and Florence . There are six positions in the line; numbered 1 to 6 from left to right. The order of the children in the chorus line is determined by the following rules:
Florence cannot stand in position number 6
Denise must stand immediately to the right of Consuelo
Andrea cannot stand next to Beatrice
Four Questions were based on their arrangements.
4) Some Questions similar to this but not exact
a)If all G’s are L’s, No K’s are M’s…….and questions on above conditions(Refer to Barron’s 15th edition)
b) 2 groups Red and Brown , Marriage is not allowed in the same group…..similar to this…

TCS profle

Tata Consultancy Services started in 1968. Mr.F.C Kohli who is presently the Deputy Chairman was entrusted with the job of steering TCS. The early days marked TCS resonsibility in managing the punch card operations of Tisco. The company, which was into management consultancy from day one, soon felt the need to provide solutions to its clients as well.TCS was the first Indian company to make forays into the US market with clients ranging from IBM, American Express, Sega etc. TCS is presently the top software services firm in Asia.
During the Y2K buildup, TCS had setup a Y2K factory in Chennai as a short-term strategy. Now, with E-business being the buzzword, the factory is developing solutions for the dotcom industries. Today, about 90 percent of TCS' revenue comes from consulting, while the rest from products. TCS has great training facilities. In addition to training around 5 percent of the revenue is spent upon its R&D centres like the Tata Research Design and Development Centre at Pune, along with a host of other centres at Mumbai and Hyderabad.
It benchmarked its quality standing, invested heavily in software engineering practices and built intellectual property-in terms of patents,code and branded products. At the same time, it expanded its relationships with technology partners and organisations, increased linkages with academic institutions and incubated technologies and ideas of people within TCS and outside. TCS has already patented 12 E-Commerce solution product packages and has filed six more applications for patent licences.
Over $25 million were spent on enhancing hardware and software infrastructure. The company now has 72 offices worldwide. As many as seven centres were assessed at SEI CMM Level 5 last year(3.4 mistakes in a million oppurtunities).These include Chennai, Mumbai, Bangalore, Calcutta, Hyderabad and Lucknow.Several business and R&D relationship with global firms like IBM, General Electric, Unigraphics Solutions have been made.
The present CEO of the company is Mr.S.Ramadorai. The companies strength is about 14,000.

TCS Interview

Facing the technical interview of a company is an uphill task. It all depends on the mood of the interviewer and to an extent on your appearance. If he is in a bad mood, the interview can be really tough. Otherwise you might have a slight consideration. Be prepared for any questions from every section of your skill set. If the interviewer goes to a part of your skill, which you are not comfortable with, try to divert his attention to some other part in which you are an expert. Try to explain things in a simple way and be precise in your answers. If you don't know an answer admit it. DO NOT try to make up and answer. That might lessen your chances of getting through.
Here are some of the FAQ's that can be asked in the technical interview

CRITICAL SECTION
I m sending u almost all the critical reasoning qs. giving just brief idea becoz I can’t recall
Though I will suggest u to consult all the qs from anna university and all model test papers (edition 12th)becoz they made the database from that edition .though I m giving the aplitudes given here
1>six floor is given .there are 7 or 8 people .each floor contain two apartments.each apart ther would be 2 or persons.
We have to determine the person what floors they are staying
(REFERENCE 12 TH BARRON)

2. You have to make seating arrangements for 8 people. Andy and Goldberg have to leave early so they must be seated next to the door, which is on the right rear end of the table.
