TCS PAPER ON 24th MARCH AT BHUBANESWAR

Hello frnds,I am Samir Anand (MCA 4th sem),TCS recruitment team visited our campus on 24th march, and selected 310 students.It was 2 day process,written test followed by tech n hr interview (combined). nearly 560 turned up for written test, out of which 502 qualified for the next round, and finally 310 were selected......

I wud like to share my experience wid all of u .The paper as usual consisted of 3 sections-
1) VERBAL ( 32 questions )
2) APTITUDE (38 questions )
3) CRITICAL REASONING ( 12 questions )

in the verbal section there were 10 synonyms,10 antonyms,6 sentence completeion ques and 6 ques on reading comprehension.for this u just follow GRE Barron 12th edition,each n every ques comes from that particular book.

this is the exact ques that was in the paper:-(with ans) In a sense the university had failed. It has stores great quantities of knowledge; it teaches more people; and despite its failures, it teaches them better.__D___ . Of the great branches of knowledge- the sciences the social sciences and humanities- the science are applied. Strenuous and occasionally successful efforts are made to apply the social sciences, not almost never are the humanities well applied. We do not use philosophy in defining our conduct. __E__. The great task of the university in the next generation is to learn to use the knowledge we have for the questions that come before us. __F___ The difference between a primary problem
and a secondary or even tertiary problem is that primary problems tend to be around for a long time, whereas
the less important ones get solved.

One primary problem is that of interfering with biological development. ___A____. Obviously, there are benefits both to individuals and to society from eliminating, or at least improving, mentally and physically deformed persons. On the other hand, there could be very serious consequences if this knowledge were used with premeditation to produce superior and subordinate classes, each genetically prepared to carry out a predetermined mission. __B___, Here we have a primary problem that will still exist when we are all dead. Of course, the traditional faculty members would say. “__C____”. And certainly they would not learn, but they would learn some other things.

A. The next generation, and perhaps this one, will be able to interfere chemically with the actual development of an individual and perhaps biologically by interfering with an individual’s genes.
B. This can be done, but what happens to free will and he rights of the individual
C. But the students won’t learn enough to go to graduate school
D. It is in the application of this knowledge that the failure has come.
E. We do not use literature as a source of real and vicarious experience.
F. The university should organize should organize courses around primary problems
G. The universities greatest shortcoming is not to help students see the relevance of humanities to real problems.
H. It is difficult for modern students, accustomed to the minute of film, to appreciate opera.
I. It is necessary students to require to include in their curricula liberal arts courses.

About aptitude, i wud just say no need 2 worry as it is the most easiest section,just practice papers of last 2 or 3 years and u will be able to solve all of them on the day of test.
