Hi, Friends.

I'm Kishore frm University of Hyderabad doing M.C.A final year. First of all thanks for your interest to learn about experience of the
snrs that makes your 50% succeess.
TCS Visited my campus on 30, Oct, 2012, and this time it took very less number as TCS is in crisis, the number is 7(33 in the last
year) .
Now let us come to Interview process as u all know the TCS interview is of 4 rounds,
Written Test is a bit tough.. another three rounds TR,MR,HR its of Average.
Written Test : Practice well all arithmetic questions from R.S.Agarwal aptitude.
TR : Basics of OS, DBMS, Software Engineering, Networks,DS. A bit confidence on one of these subject that must be your Area of
Interest.
MR and HR : Confidence about you, dont bother about communication, its no longer valid until you have some thing to express. and
use your common sense to answer the question in a polite manner, which doesnt show ur attitude.
First round after written:
TR :
ME : May I come in sir,
TR : Yes, Take ur seat (after come into the room).
ME : Thank you sir.
TR : Tell me about ur self.
ME : told.
TR : What is your interesting subject
ME : Operating system and DBMS concepts.
TR : What is Deadlock?
ME : Told (not like a defination)
TR : Write a query in sql that can cause Deadlock and refine ur query which avoid the dead lock.
ME : I got clarity about question after I ask him for explain your requirement for query (I have tried a minute as I have a confident
that i can do it.)
TR : How many tables u require for doing this? (while i'm trying on the paper with a single table schema)
ME : I said confidently that single table is enough i'm trying to make this table resource busy with more than one process to bring
system into deadlock state.
TR : Ok, carry on.
ME: i wrote the query which does update as well as retrieves same time using sub query and explained syntax may not be correct
but the logic i told.(He accepted my logic as well as avoiding mechanism.)
TR: write a query to delete a record from a table where the attribute 'total' is max?
ME : Wrote.
TR : Change the query to delete second maximum.
ME : tried and told the logic .
TR : IS using a rowid correct thing?(as my logic of prev question involves the rowid)
ME : No, using surrogate key is not preferable, in general DBA has to take prevention to maintain correct normalization to avoid
these kinds of problems based on the requirements (as I don't know why its not preferable I extended my answer to what I know
i.e Normalization concept. in fact I expected the next question from TR.)

TR : Ok, then why don't you help your father why did you studied by struggling up to now.
ME : He never feel my education struggled him, and my brother is working in Kuwait in a oil company and helping my family
financially and my family feel really happy if i'm in a big position in my future, that hope gives me lot of energy to work hard and
seek knowledge to full fill my family desire.
