Question 1. What is the output of the following code when compiled and run? Select two correct answers.
public class Question01 {
public static void main(String[] args){
int y=0; //line 1
int x=z=1; //line 2
System.out.println(y+","+x+","+z); //line 3
}
}
A. Prints 0,1,1
B. Error during compilation at line 1
C. Prints 0,0,1
D. Error during compilation at line 3
E. Error during compilation at line 2
Question 2. Select three correct statements.
The garbage collection thread cannot outlive the last user thread.
The garbage collection can be forced by invoking System.gc().
The garbage collection thread is a non-deamon thread.
The finalize() method is invoked at most once by the JVM for any given object.
The finalize() method may resurrect the object upon which it has been invoked.
Question 3. What is the output of the following code when compiled and run? Select one correct answer.
import java.io.*;
public class Question05 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Question05Sub myref = new Question05Sub();
try{
myref.test();
}catch(IOException ioe){}
}
void test() throws IOException{
System.out.println("In Question05");
throw new IOException();
}
}
class Question05Sub extends Question05 {

A a = new D(); //line 2
C c = new C(); //line 3
E e = (E)a; //line 4
B b = (B)e; //line 5
}
}
The code compiles without error and runs fine.
Compilation error on line 1 because interface E is not yet declared (forward-referencing).
Compilation error on line 4 because class A does not implement interface E.
The cast on line 4 is mandatory.
The cast on line 5 is not mandatory.
Question 5. How many objects are eligible for garbage collection immediately after line 1? Select one correct answer.

B stole a document on 21st Oct. They both mat for lunch on 20th Oct. An agent of One country could not directly sent doc to another country on this based three questions were asked like if A worked for C then in how many days D will receive a document.
3. I don’t remember.
Then we were given a blue form to fill which we were required to fill and bring next at the time of Interview which was scheduled at 9:15 A.M.
28th Aug 2004
Technical round: Members of my panel were really cool. After greeting they asked me to describe myself (educations especially).All the projects were discussed in detailed. Algorithms used in projects. In V.B. do the function Validate gets executed first or lost focus. Which java server did you used?
They also asked about my hobbies? The games I like to play? Why do you want to join TCS? Why TCS has been in news nearly for last one month? Where do you see yourself in 3-5 years? What do you like at TCS? The environment do you like to work? What was your position in class? You had such good %age in your MCA then why so less in graduation? Do you know anything about TCS? What do you mean by CMM level 5?
Do you know we have a bond of 2 years and we can send you to any of our centers if you got selected? Do you have any problem in that? We also have a medical round if some one is not able to clear our offer would be canceled?
Do you have any questions? I asked that what are there future plans to achieve there mission “To be under global top 10 till 2010”.
HR round: Here I was asked two physics Questions which I was not able to answer. Then they asked about my on year gap in studies. Algorithm used in my final semester project. My family business. What are the by-products of sugar? we have a bond of 2 years and we can send you to any of our centers if you got selected it is not that if we are having test conducted at Lucknow center so you will be offered to work here. Do you have any problem in that?
Best of luck to all of us

TCS 2
I was attended TCS walk in on 28th Aug , I was arrived the venue at 8am , I was really disappointed by the strength of people. After a long long wait ( I think around 5 hour in queue under hot sun shine)I got the 1-30 schedule. Finally I could enter the exam hall only at 4 pm. Most of
the questions from the previous papers. I was prepared well for such questions. Fortunately
I could clear exam and they call me to attend the interview on 16th sept.
Here is the pattern now I can remember. I think it will help you for your preparation.
I was reached at the venue on 3.30 pm; they called me and gave me the form.
After done that, i entered to the interview hall. There were two persons, called me to attend the technical interview. They were 1 young man and a young lady.

Sir: Ok
I think the technical interview was around 30 minutes and I perform well.
In the floor I could see 4 or 5 guys, they were completed the Tech interview, waiting for next round.
After 2 minute break they called me again for HR (I think I was the first man to appear the HR in that schedule)
One man

These are my TCS interview experience,
One thing you must remember before interview is you must be confident. Don’t try to bluff them. The answer must be true. If you don’t know any particular question , you can just say “ I DON’T KNOW SIR “ ,but not for all questions. You must be frank.

it is difficult for ppl in bangalore to be selected immediately becauseof huge competition.but"FORTUNE KNOCKS DOOR ONCE ON EVERYONE'S DOOR" and it was my turn...when i came to bangalore ppl said "IF U WILL THROW A STONE IN STREETS OF BANGALORE EITHER IT WILL HIT A DOG OR A SOFTWARE ENGINEER.."but one thing is sure that if u have guts and knowledge then u shouldnot worry. dont leave bangalore if u dont get job in 4-5 months..some good company will be waiting for u..I appeared in test on 28 august.my technical interview and hr interview was on 17th September and on 6th October I called them and they said “You Are Selected”. Before this I appeared to so many tests and I was rejected.Don’t get disappointed if u are not able to clear the test or rejected in test. You will surely learn something from that. And never go without preparation.“ IF U FAIL TO PREPARE U R PREPARING TO FAIL”Failure teaches more than what success does.Don’t get frustrated and don’t stop trying…

Rajkot is a place where the cricket match is played right?Me: Yes. He: So you know c,c++,vb.net ,asp.net and oracle right?Me: Yes sir.He: But I will not ask anything from this. What are the subjects u like?Me: DBMSHe: Only dbms?Me: Sir DBMS, Software Engineering ,Mobile Computing…[ he wrote all these things on a paper..]He: What do you know in DBMS?Me: various data models ,database architecture ,normalization …[he was writing all these things on paper so later on he can grill me on this topics…]He: so what is DBMS?Me: dbms is a collection of inter related data and set of programs to access those data…He: What are different data models and give example of each..Me: first one is relational model and examples are oracle and ms sqlserver second one is hierarchical model and its example is IMS from IBM. next is network model and example is IDS..He: IDS?No its not IDS.. its IDMS are u sure? What does IDS stands forMe: I am sure sir .IDS and IDMS are both example of network model and IDS stand for Integrated Data Store…He: Why we use normalization?Me: to decrease the redundancy and maintain data integrity….He: Why we do it in phases.. why cant we do it in a single phase. what is the need for various normal forms?Me: as we go from 1st normal form to 5th normal form the query complexity increases as we generally have more relations after normalization.. so we have to choose normal form that is appropriate for our database so that performance is not degraded while retriving data. if database is large then usually 3nf is adequate.He: What do you know in software engineering?Me: SDLC, various types of testing and software development models ,quality assurance…He: What are different types of models?Me: linear sequential model, prototype model,RAD model, component based model…He: What is rad model?Me: we usually use RAD model whenever the time required for development of software is less. In which we use RAD tools to develop the project.He: Like?Me: Sir we use 4th generation prog. Languages.He: For example?Me: VBHe: What is Linear sequential model?Me: in this model various phase of s/w development are followed one after another..Like analysis, design coding…but the disadvantage is that once the requirementIs specified we can not change that..He: Are u sure requirements can not be changed? Suppose you are building a house and engineer has designed the plan according to your requirements …now you want to change the plan so engineer will say ‘no you cant change the requirement?’Me: No sir I am not saying requirements can not change but this is the disadvantage of linear sequential model various phases occur in sequence. Design begins only when requirement analysis is completely over.He: What do u call when requirements change?Me: Modification?!!!He: In technical terms?Me: I am not sure ,Reengineering?!!!He: No its change management.He: What is quality in software ?Me: we usually divide quality in two parts quality of design and quality of conformance. quality of design means what are the specification that the product should follow and quality of conformance means up to what level quality specifications are followed…He: That is correct you divided quality in to two parts but what is quality software to the clients? Me: Sir all the options should be easier to find. User interface should be good. It should have minimum bugs and zero bugs ideally. He: What is quality assurance?Me: quality assurance is related with auditing and reporting functions of management. It gives the management confidence that product is meeting quality standards.He: What are diff. types of testing?Me: black box testing white box testing ,alpha testing ,beta testing,unit testing integration testing.Then he asked about black box whitebox and integration testing and I replied accordingly . he was satisfied with my answers..He: What do u know in mobile computing?Me: GSM,GPRS,CDMA,WAP…He: Oh CDMA …dhirubhai ambani.. karlo dunia mutthi mein..(he smiled)He: What is cdma?Me: in cdma each user is given a chipcode which is unique and based on which user is identified.we are not sharing frequency or time in cdma.He: Are u sure the code is unique? We can not duplicate the code?Me: I am sure the code is unique but it can be duplicated. actually two types of instruments comes. In one type of instrument the code is in software which we can easily copy if we have little expertise. But if the code is built in hardware then it is not possible to duplicate.He: We should not say with hardware it is not possible to duplicate the code but it is difficult. Is n’t it sumit?Me: Yes sir.He: U know why I asked u this question?Me: Because recently there were news that one software engineer used to copy the code of phones which people brought to him for repairing and he used to make calls by using the same code from diff instrument.He: Are CDMA instruments reparable?Me: I am not sure but I think it can be repaired.He: What is diff between GSM and CDMA?Me: GSM contains SIM and CDMA doesn’t.What is SIM?Me: Subscriber Identification Module…He: Why TCS? I answerd and mentioned about CMM and PCMM then he asked about these two terms and I answered perfectly..He: Are u willing to relocate?He: What if I put u in DOS and Basic?Me: I don’t have any such preferences.i like programming weather its linux or windows c or java…..He: Sumit as u yourself started it, tell me the diff between linux and windows.Me: Linux is open source and windows is propreitery.Second ,In linux while installing we have to define to size of swap partition .while in case of windows it generates one temporary file each time we open a new application or process.Next diff is at kernel level. Linux kernel is layered and windows kernel is monolithic.He: Ok sumit you can go now and wait down stairs .then we shake hands.. and I went down and sit on chair. Two other candidates were also sitting there. and afterwards one person shouted from upstairs who is sumit? One person who was sitting near to me started walking so I thought it will be diff sumit they are looking for so I was sitting quietly…After 1 minute he again called ‘sumit ?’ and I saw that person coming back. So I thought I should go now probably they are looking for me. Next round was HR.One mid age person was there.He asked about myself and my hobbies ,why TCS? Etc..My HR was too long imagine…..It was for about 3 minutes…After that they told me that they will get back to me.

Hi, Friends There r some suggestions, if u will worth going through, go through. For Technical interview in TCS. Prepare 1.Software engineering --Models, then, various phases in s/w models. 2. Be through with the basics of Operating Systems, Databases--RDBMS,C-N(especially Layers of OSI and difference b/w TCP and OSI).3.Be through with the Definintions like what is OS?,what is pointer?wht is Thrasing?Wht is Truncate and DElete in Dbms?4.C,C++ differences, then, OOPs concepts, features.5.Prepare Linked Lists, STACk, Queue programs an d also trees?Programs a must?6.If u don't know any thing say frankly?Don't just bluff?7. If possible don't answer some difficult questions?8.Because some who answered all , were rejected. - i don't know why?About HR Prepare1.Y TCS?2.U R Personal Profile?3.After 3 to 5 yrs where u will be?4. Y U?5. U r ambition?6.U R family back ground7. Most important , Wht u know abt TCS?In Technical they will ask abt , u r Project, be prepared..So prepare well, my self and my friends, had questions in common.If possible go through questions of qb.exforsys.com site , they have questions for technical interviews.
