We are also habituated to do the regular outing, be it with our project teams, with Maitree or with just a bunch of other like-minded TCSers. We are off to treks, nature camps, picnics or just bus rides whenever we get the chance.
The doors are always open at TCS

These sessions are helpful in providing mentorship, as well as understanding real-life issues that colleagues face at work. The queries and discussions are formally recorded and followed up.
The better half of TCS
Maitree, a fraternity comprising TCSers' spouses, was formed with the objective of bringing the large and geographically widespread TCS community under a common umbrella.
Maitree has two distinct objectives. Primarily, it serves as an information-sharing body where useful tidbits about living in a foreign country Which are the good schools in Minneapolis? Where do you get Indian spices in Stockholm? are shared by TCS employees and their families.
Maitree also functions as a forum where a wide range of socially relevant activities are conducted, be it improving the environment or taking care of the less privileged.
Training and Education
At TCS we see the training and education of our people as a continuous value-adding process. This approach hones, improves and enhances their skills — and makes the organisation stronger.
TCS invests about 4 per cent of its annual revenues in training, a shining example of which can be seen at the state-of-the-art training centre in Thiruvananthapuram in the south Indian state of Kerala. Our training modules have been developed to serve the specific needs of individual employees, and are based on their needs at various stages of development in the organisation.
Consider our 'induction training program' (ITP), which is for all our recruits from engineering colleges. This is a specially designed, 77-day training course at the Thiruvananthapuram facility. The ITP is conducted with the objective of transforming engineers from diverse disciplines into software professionals.
Then there are the 'continuing education programs' (CEPs), which cover over 300 topics and can be delivered over a variety of channels: classrooms, computers, audio / video, contact sessions, seminars, conferences and workshops.
Our dedicated training centre in Thiruvananthapuram, established in 1998, sprawls over 58,000 square feet. The centre has 18 classrooms, a library, an auditorium, a conference hall, discussion rooms, and faculty and administrative areas. The facility has about 300 personal computers connected to servers.
TCS has 10 other centers in India fully equipped to conduct any type of training programme.

TCS Test Pattern:
It was an online exam…. Test Consists of 3 Sections… + Psychometric Test
1. Test on Synonyms and Antonyms (40 questions, 20 minutes: Also Q’s on Sentence Completion).
2. Aptitude Test (32 questions, 40 minutes: General Questions on Mathematics).
3. Critical Reasoning (30 Minutes: 3 Analysis Paragraphs and 12 questions Relating them).
4. Psychometric Test (150 Questions, 30 minutes: only if you Qualify in the above tests).
Details about How to Prepare for the above tests:
1. Verbal Ability:
This Test contains Synonyms & Antonyms…Almost all of them were From GRE BARRON’S 12th Edition & upward…30-50% of them will be repeated from previous TCS papers. Few Questions on Sentence Completion were also there..for these also refer BARRON’S.
NOTE: During the Exam..you should be careful..because on the computer screen the names Synonyms & Antonyms will be placed side by side so that we may by mistake choose an antonym instead of a synonym…so Be Careful..
2. Aptitude Test:
This test will consist of very general questions…This is the easiest section Compared to the Other Two. Almost 70-80 Questions will be repeated from the Previous TCS Papers…just learn the method from those papers..same model will be given..(This happened almost all the times). If you have time refer to any Aptitude book of your interest…it may be R.S.AGARWAL or any Other……
3. Critical Reasoning:
Here Starts your Problems…30 Minutes…12 questions..don’t think that there is a lot of Time..these will be somewhat tougher those who has some touch with such kind..and will be Very Tough.. if you haven’t seen this kind before..so,you should have some practice relating this kind of questions… 3 paragraphs will be given.. 3X4.. 12 questions.. first 2 paragraphs will be some twisty questions… like our arrangements questions… routes between cities.. like that… and the last one will be on Data Interpretation…
You prepare Data Interpretation again from BARRON’S…. but the remaining from R.S.AGARWAL-Reasoning…. Or from Barron’s 13th Edition
4. Psychometric Test:
This test comes up only if you qualify in the Aptitude test… This test consists of 150 questions which we should answer in 30 minutes (of course, that much time is not required) Don’t think that this test has no weightage.. there is filtering in this test too… this test tests your psychology.. Remember among 150 many questions were asked again & again in a
variety of ways.. so don’t get trapped… be honest while attempting this test.. choose what you’re your heart says.. it will take you through the test..
This ends the Tests……
INTERVIEWS:
Now if you are Alive Even after All these tests….then you have to face a Technical Interview…
It may be on the same day of the Test.. so be Prepared in Advance…..
The Interview will be done by a Panel of 2 members…. No need to worry.. They will be Very supporting & Friendly.. First they ask us to Introduce ourselves… then they’ll go into your project details… don’t forget to prepare project…. They mainly concentrate on your project only…so be confident on every aspect of your project… then you should have some basic knowledge on C language. There will be some questions like “what is the o/p of this code?”, “what are the errors in the code?”..like that… so be prepared for all the basic concepts.. If needed you have to write some small codes too.. at the end they will ask some general questios like “Why TCS?”, “Where do you see yourself in the next five years?”, “do you have any questions?”, try ask some questions… it shows your interest in the Company..
HR:
Now if Chase this one too…. Then comes your Final Attack.. the HR Round… I many times heard that “I failed in HR round!”.. likewise anwers…. But you should not fail in it.. because it involves no technical questions… it just dwell into your innerself… so, be confident and frank while facing this round…They generally ask questions like “Tell about yourself?”, “Who r your role models?”, “What is your weakness?”, don’t say “I Have no weakness!”, just prepare a small weakness for yourself that causes no harm to your future…O.K.. “What is your mother tongue?”
if your Academic background is good.. be prepared to face some Techies here too….
NOW IF YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL HERE TOO….. CONGRATS… YOU ARE IN TCS…..

1. Verbal comprising of 32 ques, with 10 antonyms and 10 synonyms, one passage (from model test papers 1 to 5 of gre barrons 12th edition).they giv the exact passage so jst mug it up as it is.the paper u get there has four sets W,X,Y,Z.
2.Quantitave Apptitude consists of 38 questions again all these papers given in freshersworld exact type of ques they mere change the value.if u do all these fresherdworld paper of quant and practise the method of solving quest.u surely wud attempt 30 out of 38.
rest u get 4 problems on pie chart and bar graph.
3.Critical Reasoning again from 1 to 5 model test papers of gre barrons 12th edition.they copy the exact quest dnt change them even a bit.so if not able to solve urself then jst mug them up. u get three critical reasoning probs each comprising of 4 quest with each ques has 2 marks.

Hello Friends I am YASEEN.... I got selected to TCS... My written exam was on 07th October 2006, Interview was held on Nov 26th & 30th... And finally results came out on 14Dec...Let me post my experience with TCS.....
Written test:
I appeared an off campus exam conducted by TCS in Hyderabad on 7th Oct. I wrote the exam well, the questions in the Aptitude section were mostly from previous papers. But don’t try to remember the answers from previous papers. They are changing the values in the questions. The paper was easy, all the Synonyms, Antonyms, passages all were from GRE Barron’s 12th &13th Edition’s model papers. (And some questions came from Barron’s high frequent words)
Totally there were 3 sets X, Y, Z. and I got the set Code Y. I will give you the questions that i remember so that you can prepare for the coming exams. I am doing this because all the previous papers helped me a lot for the exam.
The paper was as usual 3 sections….
I. Verbal Ability (32M)
[Synonyms (10M) + Antonyms (10M) + Two passages are there each carries 6M (2 X 6 = 12)]
GRE Barron’s is enough for this section
II. Quantitative & logical (38M)
Most of questions from previous papers but changed values, if you practice the questions twice or thrice before the exam it is easy to solve the questions in exam. But don’t try to remember the answers from previous papers. I will try to give some questions i remember. But not in order
1. Complete the series 26, 19, 17, 13, 11,--, 8, 7 (Ans: 9).

Mainly we should read 1. All algorithom 2. Complexities
Software Engineering: software development models, different strategies of testing (unit testing, integration testing...), Types of testing (white or black box),
Project: It is very important to visit the company site before the interview Anything can be asked depending on the panel member.

I: an interface between a user and hardware……..
He: diff between windows and UNIX operating system
I: I explained well with diagrams (here he asked some simple Q’s I answered well )
He: asked to write some C programs (reversing a string, printing numbers in some format, he gave me a simple series for that also I wrote code but not that much correct)
He: Asked me to write some queries?
I wrote correctly (max salary, some queries using joins etc.)
He: well you r good in technical and wait for the MR round.
I: (really didn’t believe with those words)
I was selected in the technical round………..
My MR and HR interview:
For me both rounds completed at a time here I am some what lucky
MR:“tell me about your self”.

HR:asked to explain the game, how many balls, those colors etc……. regarding game.
I: answered all for those Q’s (He I thought she is watching two thing,, ONE is: my communication skills second : team member qualities. For this I prepared based on my friends experience.) She didn’t satisfy well for the team member qualities.
HR:asked me that to “justify that you a good team member”
I: mam I did two projects. In those for one project I am team leader for the other I worked as a team member. I successfully completed those two projects and got good name from my HOD sir also, so, I can justify by myself that I am good team member.
HR:even though based on your hobbies you are not a good team member justify again

TCS INTERVIEW ON 18th NOVEMBER AT HYDERABAD
Hi everyone,
First of all I request the organizers of freshersworld, to publish this article at any cost, because I’m able to send this article almost after 10 days of my interview. I wanted to send all my experience of tech, MR and HR interviews at once. That’s why it became late for me.
I’m Nagarjuna Reddy. I’ve had my technical interview on last Saturday, 18th November 2006. Before this interview I’ve taken the written test on 07th October 2006
I’ve had my technical interview on last Saturday, 18th November 2006. The interview was so cool. My interview was scheduled at 12 in the noon. But its gone late and I’ve had it at 04:30 in the evening. The duration of my interview was around 35 minutes. The interview panel consisted of only one member. Later one more lady employee joined him. They mainly concentrated on DBMS, C programming language, OOPS concepts with C++ and Operating system.
He started the interview with the routine question
(Before my interview started, he has gone through my resume thoroughly.)
Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
Me: told about myself without any problems as I’ve prepared already for this question.
Int: What is DBMS?
Me: given the definition in my own words and also the different databases that are available right now in the market.
Int: about joins.
Me: explained it neatly and various types of joins with examples.
Int: what is ‘Index’ in DBMS?
Me: sorry, I don’t know much about it. But the basic info about it is…. each entity will be assigned an index in the database environment. (Like wise I’ve told.)
Int: what is a key and its types.
Me: explained with no problems. primary key, foreign key, super key with examples.
(Here, we had a long discussion on the concept of foreign key. He asked me to explain it with examples. I’ve taken two tables ‘Student’ and ‘Course’ tables and explained neatly. He was simply convinced.)
Also the interviewer asked me the following questions from DBMS.
What is Embedded SQL, stored procedures, integrity constraint, cursors and views?
(Here also we had some discussion over the concepts of cursors and views. I’ve told the differences between tables and views and explained about the cursors neatly.)
Also he asked me some simple SQL queries. I’ve given correct answers for all of them as those are not that much complex queries. Not only for me, but for anyone those are simple SQL queries.
Then he came to my MCA academic project work. I’ve told him clearly the abstract of the project.
Int: What are the software that you’ve used for the project development.
Me:Told about the software. (Since my project is based on J2EE, I’m keep on saying about those technologies. Then he revealed me that ‘it’s ok. But I don’t know JAVA’)
That time the lady interviewer joined us. Then he introduced her to me by saying her name. And she started asking me few basic concepts on java like abstract class, interface etc.
Int: How many marks will you rate yourself in C on a scale of 5?
Me:I’m sure. 4.
Int: So 8 out of 10. It means good.
Then they started posing questions on me from C. The questions covered from this subject are…….
What are the differences between C and C++? What is a Pointer? Overloading and overriding concepts from C++.
Then he asked me to write a C program to print the following structure and started writing it on the paper.
*
* *
* * *
As soon as he started writing the structure, i told them that the structure is like Pascal’s triangle, then they both replied ‘yes’.
This time I told them that ‘I need some time to think about the logic involved, for generating the given structure. But I can print the same in Right angled triangle shape’ and I started writing the structure on the paper like..
*
* *
* * *
They asked me to do that.
Immediately I’ve took the paper and asked them ‘whether only the logic is sufficient or shall I’ve to write the entire program?’. They preferred only the logic.
So I’ve written. Then they asked me to explain it. I’ve started explaining. Meanwhile they asked me ‘Stop. it’s ok’.
Lady Int: Write a program to swap two numbers using only two variables. i.e without making use of third variable.
Me: Sure. I’ll do it and (I started writing it. When I’ve written just two lines of code, she has a smile on her face and asked me to stop and said ‘I understood the logic that you are going to use’.)
Also they asked me some more questions from Operating systems (Memory management, paging, demand paging etc).
Int: Do you have any questions to ask us?
Me: (didn’t get any question at that time. But I preferred to ask them at least one question, which is always there in my mind.) i.e. can I get the chance here in TCS to work on J2EE technologies, if I gets selected, as I’m sound in that area?
Int: (Started saying about the training they are going to provide and its consequences) And finally he said I’m also new to TCS, so I don’t know about it here. (Immediately the lady interviewer started saying ‘Sure, you’ll get the chance, and I’m also working on that platform these days. But it may not be immediately after the completion of your training’).
Finally, those were quite satisfied and the interviewer himself told me ‘It’s ok. I’m recommending you for the MR interview.’ (And asked me to wait outside to know the schedule of MR interview)
(I’m quite happy to hear the result from the interviewer and thanked both of them)
Here I want to say one more thing, while the interview is going on, one servant came and gave snacks to the interviewer. He made it 50-50 and offered me. But I rejected it. Then he asked me ‘No problem, you can eat it first’ and he gulped his share of the snacks. But I replied him by saying ‘It’ll be difficult for me to discuss while eating’. Later when I’m coming out with good news from the interviewer, I’ve taken my share of snacks with me as I’m feeling so hungry then. I even didn’t have my lunch today. Then we all have only smiles.
Friends!!!! See how cool the interviewers and the environment is?
After that TCS people have announced the results along with the MR interview schedule. My interview was on 21st (Tuesday). This time they’ve given a form to us to be filled before coming to the MR interview.
I want to say one more thing here, through out all my 3 rounds of interviews, I’ve not used the words ‘sir’ or ‘madam’ to salute them. I even called both the interviewers with their names in my technical round. Also they expect to be called like that.
Managerial Round of Interview: (On 21st November 2006)
This interview was also so cool for me. With the confidence I’ve gained from Tech round, I’ve attended this interview with coupled confidence.
Actually my interview was scheduled at 11:00 in the morning. But it became too late again. It started at around 4:00 in the evening. To my surprise, I was asked all HR questions in this round even though it is said to be Managerial Round. This interview also consisted of only one member. But many of the candidates who were appeared for the MR interview were been asked questions based on their academic project and/or technical questions only, in this round of interview. I was asked the following questions like…..
Tell me about yourself, what are your areas of interest, positive and negative points in you, your achievements, About TCS, Why should we hire you etc (Some more questions, but all these are purely HR questions. Its duration was 20 minutes for me.)
After it is over, they announced the results. I was through the MR also. Again they announced the HR interview schedule. For me it was 05:15 in the evening on the same day. In this round also TCSers eliminated some candidates.
HR interview: (On 21st November 2006)
This interview remained almost all miserable experiences for me. I’ve had a stress kind of interview here. The interviewer seems to start argument with what ever I say. And I was asked even unexpected questions. This round consisted of Project related questions even though it is HR interview.
For me it started at around 05:30 in the evening. Here I’ve faced many problems with the interviewer. The interview consisted of only one member.
As soon as I entered into the cabin, I wished him good evening. No reply from his side.
Int: (with no smile rather seriousness in his face) Tell me about yourself?
Me: keep telling about my PG briefly and moved on saying my achievements, goals etc.
(He interrupted me, and here we had some long discussion over my PG college as I’ve quoted in my resume that I was figured in top 2% of the candidates appeared for ICET-2003, Entrance examination for MBA and MCA aspirants into all universities in Andhra Pradesh)
Int: If so, why didn’t you select campus of any university in the state?
Me given the reasons. (He seems to be somewhat convinced).
Int: Can you tell me the subjects that you are having in your last semester (3-2) of MCA.
Me: told the subjects.
Int: (Again he asked me the subjects of the previous sem than 3-2 i.e 3-1)
Me: told some of the subjects.
Int: Do you have DBMS in your curriculum?
Me: yes, in our second year of MCA.
Int: what are the concepts that you know from DBMS?
Me: written all the major concepts related to it on the paper.
Int: its ok.
(Before my interview started, the interviewer gone through my resume thoroughly, and with that, he came to know about my project briefly, as I’ve written our project’s abstract in my resume).
Int: Tell me about your project in detail.
Me: told about the project clearly. My responsibility in its development (as we 2 people were developed the application) is coding for 4 out of 7 modules and entire testing.
Int: (Concentrated on project design, especially on database design process) How many tables are there in your application?
Me: (shocked!!!!! Didn’t expected this question, even though I know it) told clearly that ‘even though the database design is not my responsibility, I need to know the basic concepts of the databases of our application, since I need to make use of them while coding. It consists of 18 tables totally.
Int: why that many number of tables? Why don’t you maintain all the data in a single table? (with the same amount of seriousness on face)
Me: told the problems with that approach.
Int: if so, why don’t you create a separate table for each column?
Me: (stunned) even then told the problems with this kind of approach also.
Int: I was not convinced with your answer, again the same question, why that many tables?
Me: (thought that he is expecting me to talk about some other concept like normalization or so) I’ve told about normalization and its types.
Int: can you explain where you have used all these different types of normal forms in your project?
Me: Actually all this process is carried out by our project member. I was not involved in this process. So I don’t know about it.
Int: Again asked me the same question for the fourth consecutive time.
Me: (I got irritated and loose control on myself. This is where I’ve committed a biggest mistake.) I’ve drawn the structure of the TCS building roughly, where our interviews are being conducted, and questioned him ‘why you are maintaining all these departments in separate rooms why not a single big hall?’
Int: (Came to know that I was fell into his trap) Finally what do you want to become in TCS?
Me: (with a little bit of guilty feeling because of previous answer) I want to become System Analyst within 3 to 4 years.
Int: will you become System Analyst immediately now?
Me: No No. Right now I came here for recruitment with TCS as a software programmer. But my goal for the next 3 to 4 years is to become System Analyst (SA).
Int: Ok, can you tell the responsibilities of SA?
Me: As I’m a fresher, I don’t know all the responsibilities of SA, but one of the major responsibility is to analyze the system to be built and again analyzing the system after it is built to find whether it is meeting the client’s requirements or not? Apart from this he may also involved in some more functions. But I’m unaware of them now.
Int: So, you want to become SA without knowing his responsibilities.
Me: I’ve nothing to say for this question and remained with blank face with this kind of his questions.
Int: So, it’ll be difficult for you into TCS, anyway I wish you all the best.
Me: came out with complete dissatisfaction.
So friends!!! What happened here for me is… I was asked MR questions in HR interview and all HR questions in MR interview.
This is all about my tech, MR and finally miserable HR interview experiences at TCS. Everybody says that the interview will be cool. But some times very rarely, we may come across this kind of stress interviews. With this experience I’m not confident of being selected for TCS. Still the results are awaited. The TCS people are going to announce the results through their portal in the first week of December or so.
So friends don’t be panic of interviews. It’ll be very cool as everybody says. Very very rarely only we may come across such type of panel members. Even there you should not loose control on yourself. Here I’ve committed a biggest mistake by questioning the interviewer. Also in TCS, you can’t expect only tech questions in tech round of interview and only HR questions in HR interview. Anything can be asked depending on the panel member.
I wish all the aspirants of TCS, all the best

TCS PAPER ON 7th NOVEMBER AT CHENNAI
Hai friends,
The general placement procedure of TCS is:
1. Aptitude Test
2. Technical Interview
3. HR
APTITUDE ROUND (Online Test)
I was asked to appear for the TCS Recruitment process for the first round. I was sent a username and password and asked to log on to the website and fill in a few more details and then generate a Hall Ticket (PDF) format. I took 2 prints of the hall ticket and 2 copies of my resume along with me. A photo identification proof is also required (Driving License / Voters ID / College ID card / Passport etc)
The Aptitude Test was conducted at SRS College of Multimedia, Avadi, Chennai on 12th October. No. of students appeared: Almost 18,000 Since the test was an online test I might not be able to remember some of the questions.. but heres what I can recall. The section actually consisted of three sections namely,
1) Verbal Section. (20 minutes)
Ø 10 synonyms
Ø 10 antonyms
Ø 6 fill in blanks
Ø 6 reading comprehension
Prepare GRE words as much as possible. But don’t waste lot of time going through this section. Prepare a high frequency GRE Barron’s word that’s enough.
2) Aptitude (40 minutes)
Ø 38 questions
In this section almost all the questions were from previous year papers. So for aptitude just practice previous year papers. That alone is enough. Be thorough with all the aptitude questions and especially the method of doing. Make sure that u get 35 questions correct out of the 38 questions.
3) Analytical & Critical Reasoning. (30 minutes)
Ø 3 passages
This section was exactly from GRE Barron’s (12th edition). The questions order was also not changed. So MUG it up.
4) No Psychometric Test.
Try to get 85% in aptitude, 20% in Verbal and 20% in Analytical & Critical Reasoning and then u can be confident that you will get short listed in the first round.
TECHNICAL INTERVIEW
No. of students short listed for Technical Interview: 2937 The Technical Interview was conducted at St.Joseph College of Engineering, Chennai on 31st October. Getting short listed in the Technical Interview is quite an uphill task. If u doesn’t know the answers for his questions jus be frank to tell him that u don’t know. Don’t try to make up with the answer that will create a bad impression on you. Before attending the technical round prepare well about what you have mentioned in your resume.
Also prepare well the basics of C, OOPs Concepts, Data Structures, Core Java, CPU Scheduling and Memory Management, S/W Engg., RDBMS Basics, OSI Ref. Model.
If they ask you to write a program don’t say u don’t know, try writing it and don’t worry about syntax and minor mistakes as don’t expect 100% perfection from us. There were 20 panel of H.R for the technical interview. Majority of the panel has 2 H.R and remaining has 1. I was send to a panel with single H.R. These are the questions the interviewer asked me and my answers and it went around 35min.
1. Market Yourself?
2. Tell me abt your project and the role u played?
Ans: I told him abt my project in detail. As my project was on ATM n/w he asked me some questions in that and also abt TCP/IP.
3. What is polymorphism? Give examples?
Ans: A OOPs Concept. It’s the ability to take more than one form. I told him abt Method Overloading and Method Overriding.
4. What are constructor and destructor?
Ans: Constructors are member function with same name as that of the class and are invoked automatically when an object is created. Destructors are used to deallocate the resources allocated by the object.
5. Write a program for Operator Overloading and factorial?
6. So u know Java? Write a program to swap two no. is java without using temp. Variable?
Ans: When I was trying to write this program he asked me the logic and proceeded to the next question
7. Do u know SDLC?
Ans: Ya. Software System Development Life Cycle
8. Explain me the phases in detail?
Ans: I told him abt the Requirement, Analysis & Design, Program, Testing, Operation & Maintenance Phases. As I have mentioned S/W Testing as my Elective subject he asked me what are the testing methodologies to be considered before starting a Testing Process and I told him the 8 testing methodologies.
9. What is CPU Scheduling? Types
Ans: Its used to increase the CPU utilization. Types are preemptive scheduling and non-preemptive scheduling.
10. Do u know abt Data structures?
Ans: Yes. (Even though I didn’t mention anything abt data structures in my resume he asked questions from that)
11. What is a Data Structures? Types
Ans: Way to organize data. Linear Data Structure consists of Arrays, Linked Lists, Stack and Queue. Non- Linear Data Structure consisted of Tree, Graph and Set.
12. What is diff between Array and Linked list?
Ans: Both are Linear Data Structures. Array is used to store homogeneous data elements and memory is statically allocated. Linked list contains no. of nodes each node contains the element and address of next node and memory is dynamically allocated and so no wastage of memory.
13. Explain abt Stack and Queue?
Ans: Stack is an ordered collection of data elements and where insertion and deletion operation takes place in top of stack and it follows LIFO methodology. Insertion operation is called PUSH and deletion is called POP. In Queue insertion takes in back end and deletion operation takes place in front end, it follows FIFO methodology. Insertion operation is called QSTORE and deletion is called QDELETE.
14. Write a program for POP operation in Stack?
Ans: I told him it will take some time as the program is long and asked him, I ll write the pseudo code is it enough ,sir(Actually I don’t know to write a program but I know the logic and algorithm).He said ok and I wrote the algorithm.
15. Why is sorting used?
Ans: Process of arranging a set of elements in increasing or decreasing order.
16. Explain some Sorting methods?
Ans: I explained the logic of selection, insertion and bubble sorting.
The result of this technical interview was announced in 1hr and the HR interview was rescheduled to another day due to lack of time.
HR INTERVIEW
No. of students short listed for HR Interview: 1256
The HR Interview was conducted at St.Joseph College of Engineering, Chennai on 7th November. We generally tend to take the HR round less seriously, but beware friends…It’s not any rule that they wont ask u technical questions here. He was knowledgeable and friendly- but u r subjected to lots of pressure during the whole interview. So be prepared to handle REAL pressure. U can be subjected to pressure thru small gestures & even a nod of head can make u pretty nervous at such times…… When I say REALPRESSURE, I mean it……. (My tip to everyone: Friends, Be thoroughly prepared. It’s not easy at all. But most importantly “be EXTREMELY confident”, composed & have a smiling face almost always.).They are mainly looking for good presence of mind. These are from my personal experience, besides ask the interviewer as many questions as u can. Show the interviewer u r dying 2 get in his organization.

7. Have u applied to any companies earlier? Why u were rejected?
Ans: Yes. Yes. They've not given me any proper feedback on why I was rejected. So I don't know. Maybe there were better candidates than me.
8. Where r u staying here?
9. Do you know what Quality management is?
Ans: It’s the management approach of an organization with the participation of all members of that organization to achieve long term success through customer satisfaction.

11. What are quality awards given to an S/W Company other than these?
Ans: Its ISO 9001:2000.Then he asked me other than that, when I was thinking he asked me have u heard of CMM. Ya, Capability Maturity Model for Software is to identify best practices useful in helping them increase the maturity of their processes.
12. Will u switch over to any other company after joining TCS? If NO then why?
Ans: I don't think so. As a rule, if I join a company, I'll stick with it for long term. I think that switching companies often is not good for my career.
13. In what situations would you leave a company?
Ans: When I see lack of growth and career advancement opportunities.
14. Do u have any question?

TCS PAPER ON 10th OCTOBER AT CHENNAI
Hi….with the name of GOD here I m Nizam writing these words which may help you more and give confidence to clear the TCS interview….
First of all make urself clear that u r quite confident that u r going to enter into TCS when u feel that u r real hardworker….
The TCS interview process contains 3 rounds…
Online Aptitude test , Direct Technical Interview & Finally MR(Management round)…Don’t confuse between MR and HR both r same…
The pattern will be as usual u r expecting…
Section 1) Verbal
Section 2) Quantitative
Section 3) Critical Reasoning
Here each section have some minimum cutoff but high weightage is given to the Critical reasoning…So start preparing from last section…
Section 3) Critical Reasoning
Coming across to this section… the only material u have to muck up and prepare was 12 0r 13th edition GRE barrons book… Here u go through all the Model papers from 1 to 5 and also don’t omit diagnostic test…Don’t waste ur time in exercises
I got the questions only from these…So follow this and also if u try to solve by ur own it really consumes time more so practice wel here…
Section 2) Quantitative
After u r thorow with critical reasoning come to this section this is very easy section the only thing is u should study previous papers for this I assure u that u will clear if u gone through previous 2004,2005 and 2006 question papers till date…The changes is only the data of the questions where as the procedure wil be same… Here I m attached a file of quantitative questions which is enough to clear this section….
Section 3) Verbal ability
Synonyms : 10
Antonyms : 10
Sentence completion : 7
Reading comprehension : 5
Synonyms & Antonyms
Here I felt little difficult at this section as basically am poor in vocabulary…..If u have very strong school background its enough…I think so…any how i struggled my best for this section by reading thru same GRE… Here the antonyms may be easy but the synonym only little difficult….
And also u don’t expect the High frequency words only wil come they r changing ther questions frequently only at this section…So u cant expect from previous paper alone but chances are also ther to com…So note this idea…
According to me u go thru….
Wordlists that starts with letter A,B,C,D,E,F,I,P,S,T,V(Definitely u will get 80% from this if u r thorow)
Don’t confuse between synonyms and antonyms differentiate and study so it may helpful for both….
Sentence Completion
Here u l get a paragraph with some 6 or 7 blanks and followed by all options for those blanks which r not in order the target is u should fill those blanks with suitable options…
Here I felt easy and I filled correctly…U should not require any high preparation for this… with presence of mind u can solve… Read the para by giving contiguity and analyse the meaning so automatically ur mind feel which option suits best and make it…If u cant then u don’t waste ur time more here…jus mark as u feel….and go… They r giving paragraph of certain general issuea like women rights…politics… like that so it wil be easy only….
[pic]
Reading Comprehension
I m totally very unaware abt this RC… I didn’t prepared for this also but quite difficult to solve … My friends told they r asking from the same GRE…. For this.. go through the five model papers in at the end of GRE barons 12 th or 13th book.. and also diagonitic test at the beginning of book and also RC exercises labeled A, B, C, D, E. Just remember the answers…. Atlast after doing the best leave the left to the almighty definitely u l get shortlisted… Ya… ofcourse I accept the word ‘Hardwork never fails…..’ As I had written online test the results r displayed on the screen as soon as I completed my whole test… Really I m happy when I got “Congratulations…! U cleared first round” in the monitor…
Technical Interview
This is really an elimination round… If u r basically hav good enough stuff in ur academic and technical subjects definitely u can get thru…. Don’t bother anything lik percentage and all it doesn’t worth at TCS other than basic eligible criteria…As I m a Computer science dept this round was easy as I m quite confident abt myself in tech stuff…Whereas coming across other depts. They r totally escaped at this round if they r good in ther field its enough as they wont get more quest….Shake ur hand and Keep charming face as soon as u enter into the panel…And also one thing knowing everything is not a matter how to express it to the interviewer carries the credit…So, ur presentation should be clear and brief…for what the interviewer is querying u… Which gives good impression to him…And prepare ur resume in a simple and better manner don’t put too much of things… Definitely they ask questions from ur resume…At the same time they also giv u a profile to fill… u asked to put som technical or programming skills so whatever u enter pls assure urself that u r strong in that…
Try to answer more for each question threw over u…So he may satisfy that realy u hav good technical ability… Ya…Of course what r al the things abov I described I had done those….
The tech interview is nominally taks 20-30 mins…But for me he asked for 40mins… the reason was we talked some story abt my family peoples,etc… When I finished my interview 100% I m satisfied that I wil b shorlisted for MR… Yes, definitely while u r attending u also feel the same if u r satisfied urself def u wil get thru… Now here I admit wat r al the quest I got….
[pic]
Interviewer was a gent with some 35 yrs age… I think so…
1)Conference starts as usual with common quest like introduce urself…and I introduced myself in a good manner…which I already practiced…so u better practice for expected quest…
2)Then he asked my project description…
Ya…I described all my projects clear and in brief manner…(and also don’t describe in story…don’t go in depth of the project also…if u tel story def it wil mak them running out of time so they cant put further quest to u…and ur credit wil fall)
3)Then, he asked my programming skills….
I told C and C++.. I know java also but I didn’t said it bcos I m not very much proficient in that and also currently java is in peak they may be experts in java so we cant tackle all questions…
4)After that he asked me rate myself in C…
I rated 5 out of 10 then…
5)He asked me to put a simple swapping program without temp variable…
It is easy…
Jus this following stmts…
a=a+b
b=a-b
a=a-b
and at the same time this works only for integer range -32767 to 32767
if they ask lik this to swap 50,000 and 60,000.. then u just use ^ operator in the places of + operator it works for all range of values
6)He asked me to speak out on the data types in C…?
Here I explained him all the data types and storage classes of C…
7)Then he asked me how much familiar in JAVA…?
I told 3 out of 10..the reason is even thou u know java very wel b cool an gredit less urself bcos wat we studied is academic level…Wer as they r currently ding projects in java so they may b very experts in java…So they may ask som critical ques..So better note this…If u really feel tat u can ans from anycorner in java then no prblm carry on….
8)He asked y u credited less in Java…?
Then I told the reason tat in a single sem we cant cover full java so only hav basic ideas…so he didn’t asked any quest..
9)then he asked me to tel d area of Interest in subject?
I told DBMS and datawarehousing…
Then he asked me to speak abt DBMS…I started from basic introduction wat is DBMS and wat for it contributes then al types of relations…and al types of keys which we use to relate the relations…Follow silberscartz if u say DBMS as ur area of interest…then told abt datawarehousing and datamining and etc..in a brief manner
10)Atlast the casual and cool quest he asked…How abt TCS and wat u know abt TCS…?
For this ques u better go thru current affairs and news of TCS in ther website def u get idea plsss don’t be very theoretical b very casual in answering every ques don’t ans as if u r muck uped even thou if u muckuped don’t mak him feel tat u r muckuping an ans bcos som peoples use to do lik this….
Note one thing answer every quest don’t omit as much as u can…Explain every ans short and interactively which readily gives meaning…instead of lik paper chewing cow…
MR Interview
This round is Management round it is same as HR round ther is no diff here only they ask u dilemma quest to check ur nature of sensitive and som situation handling quest ans everything loyally no need to worry… U don’t worry abt this round only if u done ur tech interview pretty wel…
For me this round was held on nov 7th after 15days of my tech interview…
In the Panel….
Here the interviewer was a gigantic and well personality and confidential person.In beginning am little nervous but after 5mins of our conference I felt very friendly and cool…So the only thing is u always don’t show ur nrvous even if u r nervous jus stay cool with charming face an ans boldly with little smile for every quest…
He watched my profile for few mins then started raising quest he started with as usual introduce urself nizam…?
I explained abt my edu,family and wat I hav and wat I want to be…?
Then he asked me wer u stay…?answered
Then he asked will u com from far to here daily if u got job here?answered
Everything cool quest…so don’t worry
Then he asked abt my elder brother profession and my younger brother…?
And asked abt my parents wether they depend on me..?
Then he came slightly tech side..?
Asked me which area am interested..?
For this I told Datawarehousing and Business Intelligence sol…
Then he asked the reason…?
I explained the reason in a brief manner that BI and datawarehousing was eternal always and stay with consistent demand wer as the chances of getting demand in less for other application proj.. wer as this domain stands for every wer globally every corporate maintain ther own history data and records…and som other reasons…which made good view to interviewer he appreciated my ans
Then he asked my long term plan…?
Ya I told I want to be an entrepreneur of my own IT... he wished me good and all the best for this…but for som managers this ans may not be right I think…. If u prepare better ans then say that..But actually its my true aim to open an own IT in future so I said….
Then he asked me wat r al u researched for ur IT..?
For this I escaped by saying tat as we r rushing in every sem wit vast subjects ther is no time for my own projects… But even thou I done 2 smal projects I explained tat to him.. Then he was quite calm…
Then asked wat type of projects wil u do in ur IT…?
I told first I try to launh a project which makes an identity of my IT to the whole world… He stayed cool on my ans with little smile…
then he wished advancely for my future…and finished my interviewer..
[pic]
Note a thing as soon as u enter into the Panel room be cool and confident don’t hesitate for anything wat ur heart says do it… then as soon as meeting HR shake ur hands with gentle smile if u r a girl then jus say good morning sir with little smile…
Atlast my result came after a month in December I got selected totally we all 946 shortlisted… wer as som nearly 1000members cleared tech interview only very few eliminated in MR round… So don’t worry all things in u …Don worry abt percentage marks its al depends on ur ability an ur level of confidence in interview so don’t loss hope stay cool and fetch ur job No one can get the job if the job is urs

Section-3: Critical Reasoning
Questions 1 to 4: Small University and Large University problem of GRE Barron’s 13th edition. This can be found in the model papers.
Three persons J.K,L belongs to Small University with some subjects like English, Mathematics and Electronics assigned to them. M,N,O and P belongs to small university and M deals Maths, N deals Psychology. O and P have been assigned Latin. Then four questions based on this data. Its so easy. (Not same data, but names of persons are same and pattern is also same).
Even no need to do any arrangements with the given data to solve problems based on this. We need to just write down the given data in a conventional form. That’s all. We can answer the questions very easily.
Questions 5 to 8: A group of 5 people A, B, C, D, E are there.
A knows Telugu and Hindi.
B knows Oriya and Malalayalam
C knows Telugu and Malayalam
D knows English and Oriya.
E, who is a native of Andhra Pradesh, also can speak Oriya.
(Not same assignments, but pattern is same)
Q1. If A and B need to communicate, whose help they should take. (Ans: C, Since C know one language of A and another language of B….. like this)
Q2. Among all of these languages, what are the languages that are known to many people? (Ans: Telugu-3 and Oriya-3)
The questions are like that. Even there is no need to do any arrangements are also. So, no need to worry about this section also.
Questions 9 to 12: Sorry. Third passage I didn’t remember it. Even I didn’t get time to see it. But it seems to be some what difficult. I didn’t have time to answer this question, so I left it.
Also I want to share a few more details with all of you regarding the TCS test. I thought of it to be online test. But because it was a large recruitment drive, they are not capable of conducting online test for that many numbers of aspirants. It was manual test.
And coming to the test, for verbal section, GRE Barron’s of any edition is enough. And for Critical Reasoning, Barron’s 12th or 13th is enough. Then finally, for Quantitative section, the same problems will be given with only changes to the data. These problems can be solved by even a 7th class student also. But the thing here is the Time Factor. How fast we are able to do them is the thing here. The same problems can be given every time. So don’t neglect to solve each and every problem of previous papers, if you want to crack TCS test. After that, try to improve the speed ving the problems. If you do so, I’m sure that you’ll be half way into TCS, one of the top IT firm in the world.

now came the projects
i had a total of 4 projects mentioned in my CV
he asked the concept for all of them and made me draw the figure as was the output.
In this session itself he asked me bout HR related issues.
Like if i relocate you to chennai....what would be your reaction?
Hw would you cope up with the situation?
Apart frm the general questions relating to person and family these were the questions in the technical round.
After 2 minutes of the session i was asked to stay back and wait for my HR round.
The HR round was on 3rd floor as i reached there the manager called me into the room.
It was a conference hall
he asked me to take a seat
next were a few technical questions.
OS and DBMS....followed by DS.
There were two people
they asked me to introduce myself.............(.....you know what all to say as an answer to this qustion)
then he asked me that what would i say that is the most remarkable acheivement in my 4yrs of engg.
He gave me a few situations and asked me that how would i cope up with those situations.

TCS PAPER ON 23rd SEPTEMBER
Hey All,
I am Sunitha.H.S, have done my BE(Info science), from AMC Engg College.
Am proud to say that, today, am a TCSer, thanks to . The success stories, the words of inspiration, and the vast preparation kit that students ve contributed is one of the reasons for me having made it. I ll give u a brief insight into the recruitment process of TCS.
It comprises of 2 phases:
1.Written Test
2.Technical Round+HR
Written Test includes
1. Verbal,
2. Critical reasoning,
3. Quants.
U can easily get thru this, provided u ve the determination,coz, as everybody ve been telling,most of the questions r repetitive.Just refer the old papers theat ve been posted, n, u can easily answer upto 70% of the paper.
Verbal includes, Synonyms, Antonyms, Reading comprehension, Sentence completion, which u ll find in GRE Barron's. Many ppl ve prescribed the 12 Edition, which i cudnt find in the bookstores,I found the 16 Edition, which was equally helpful.
The comprehension part was a piece of cake, coz it was a photocopy from Barron's
Quants,again r repetitiveif u wanna start from scratch, RS Aggarwal s the book for u... work on : Problems on Numbers, Ages, Clocks, Time & Work,Data Interpretation, Percentage, Time & distance, Venn Diagrams...
N, remember, "There s no negative marking!!!!"
Technical Round
It went on, for, say,7 minutes or so... I was the first gal for the morn batch,n, had this fear, that the recruiters wud be all fresh n set for attack, but they were pretty cool. Firstly, they asked me"Tell me abt urself" - Concentrate on ur positive skills, n, relate it to how it wud help in an organization... U cud say, " My capability to adjudicate, communication skills... "etc..
Then, they ask u, " wat were the subjects u studied?" Name those for which u are well prepared, like, C,C++,OS,Computer Networks,Data Stuctures, Software Engg, DBMS N, I was asked project related questions. I started off with the SDLC approach, since it gives them the feeling that u r well prepared for the question.Since mine was a Java based project, i was asked abt Applets, Servlets, JSP, etc.
N, be well prepared to answer the question"wat s ur role in the project?" If u say coding, be prepared to write a piece of code, of his choice...
Some important Que:
1. Memory Management in OS,
2. Wat is OS? Wat r the types of OS?
3. Difference between Java & C, Java features-(speak abt garbage collection)
4. Dynamic method Dispatch,
5. OOPS concepts-classes, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism,
6. Linked Lists,
7. Normalization,
8. Method Overloading, Method Overriding.
9. Zombie Process,
10.DBMS- Primary key, foreign key concepts
They just ask u things dat u r supposed to know, n, normally dont deviate from syllabus, since we r freshers. Suppose u r from the IS /CS background, n, they ask u questions dat delve into MicroProcessor, then, just be bold enough to say "We just brushed thru MP, n, dint learn abt it in depth" Wat they r looking for is, confidence. Just carry the right amount of it, neither more nor less, n, u r in TCS.
HR round
This went for a brief 3-4 minutes:
Tell me abt urself
Family Background
Interests n Activities
Why TCS?
were some of the questions.
Again , just be loud, clear n confident in wat u r speaking, U can surely make it, with Effective
planning, coz, remember, "Failing to plan is, planning to fail"
"All The Best" to all of u out there.

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

TCS PAPER ON 23rd SEPTEMBER AT LUCKNOW
Hi Friends,
.I gave the TCS written exam on 23rd Sept and got selected. In this regard I would like to share my journey from test to selection process with u all, as this site has helped me a lot.
The written paper had a lot of repeated questions from previous ones. So it is better to prepare as much previous papers as possible. Also Gre Barrons is quite helpful.
It consisted of 3 sections:
1. Verbal Reasoning
2. Quantitative Aptitude
3. Critical Reasoning
There was no Psychometric test. Also there was no sectional cutoff. We were told by them.
Few questions that I remember r:
1. Verbal:
It has synonyms, antonyms.
2. Quantitative:
1. Which of the following is a singularity matrix? (Determinant must be zero).
2. Aero plane is flying at a particular angle and latitude, after some time another latitude is given..(8 hrs later), u r asked to find the local time of the place.
3. Which is a/not a power of 2 .
4. Which one among have higher deviation:1. 7,0,-7, 7,0,-7 2. -7,-7,-7,-7,-7,-7.
5. if &=doubling and % means sign change then what is the output
&%&(5) - %&%(5)
Technical Interview ---
I was the last person to b interviewed on that day. It was a tiresome day.It was a one -to-one interview. It lasted for abt 25 minutes.Some of the questions were:
1. So r u feeling nervous.

8. What is a linked list. Write code to explain its working .Also explain diagrammatically.
9. What is inheritance? Write a code in Java to explain the same.
10. What r the basic concepts behind OOP(i.e. polymorphism, inheritance etc.)?
The interviewer was quite impressed by my answers .In the middle of the interview he told me"O.K. I hope that u qualify the next round also. By the way how did u find your performance in this interview must be by now aware of ur result.Then he wrote something on the blue form. He then asked me to wait outside.
The key is to remain cool and confident throughout the interview. Just be aware of the basic concepts .Go through all important subjects, like OOP,Software Engg,Web Technology,OS,Computer Networking etc.above all anything could be asked to u,be prepared.Dont be afraid or nervous if don’t know the answer to any question, simply say that u r not able to recollect that at this point of time and say sorry.Don’t try to fool them .
After 10 minutes I was told that I was selected and were asked to come after two days for the H.R. interview.
H.R. Interview-
Thre were 2 members in the panel.The atmosphere was cool.The questions asked were:
1. Hello .What does ur name means?
2. He thaen asked me to tell 3 positive and 3 negative characteristics of the bird ‘maina ‘(that is the meaning of my name).

CRITICAL REASONING
1. Senior manager in a big company said that new Japanese company invades in India for transferring the cars from industrial and warned that jobs were under threat from Japanese company. They stated that increasing competence would be coupled with an inevitable down term in car market and recent rise
in interest rate which has already hit demand.
a) Manager issue their warning after a rise in interest rate
b) Manager told workers that Japanese workers are taking jobs away from Indian workers
c) Manager said that more people want to buy new cars in future
d) Increasing rate of interest mean that Japanese firm will create into operate in the country
2. Human existence is suspicious of arbitrary divide between concise and unconcise. The concise world invades shape activity of the unconcise, while many of great activity of humanity waking as whole or partially improved by dreams. Even it could be ignored that dreams precede exceptional such a dichotomy could not be drawn as the influence of dream on waking state would remain unclear. But as yet no company rebuilt exists to record the substitute of prendtl dreaming.
a) Sleepy can be creative state
b) It is difficult to tell whether a sleeper is dream or not
c) If we know what babies would dream about before they are born we could show that the concise and unconcise mind influence on one another
d) It is untrue claim that concise and unconcise world never impinge one another
3. Any one who has systematic exam phases will have perceived a profound although not a prolific of asymmetry whether or not the exception is volitions and self-control of spontaneous appeal to predict facial as symmetry as does the type of emotion portrayed. Position cannot displace symmetric at left side regret of a negative emotion is more common posed. Expression negation emotions are likely to be symmetric representation and where as symmetric occurs relative left sided expression is more common.
a) Any angry person is more likely to have left sided expression than some one who has smiling
b) An actor is likely to smile symmetric when acting
c) Delicious facial expression will always be as symmetrical
4. In the totalitariturian days, the words have very much devalued. In the present day, they are becoming domestic that is the words will be much more devalued. In those days, the words will be very much affected in political area. But at present, the words came very cheap; we can say they come free at cost.
a) Totalitarian society words are devalued
b) Totalitarian will have to come much about words
c) The art totalitarian society the words are used for the political speeches
5. There should be copyright for all arts. the rule has come that all the arts has come under one copy right society, they were use the money that come from the arts for the developments. There may be a lot of money will come from the Tagore works. We have to ask the benifitters from Tagore work to help for the development of his works.
a) Tagore works are come under this copyright rule
b) People give to theater and collect the money for development
c) People are free to go to the because of the copy right rule
d) We have asked the Tagore residents to help for the developments of art.
N) Disease x succeeds lung disease. It may also occur healthy persons the person looks healthier from outside. The number of red blood cells in the blood increased and this leads to thickness of the blood as a result of which blood lacks inside the vessels .the person suffers heart attack. Possible solution is to remove a liter of blood or to control the
growth of red blood cells.
53.lung disease precedes the disease -- T
54.a person who gets heart attack always has disease -- F
55.people suffering from disease x look healthier -- C
56.one liter of blood must be removed to cure this -- T
O) A star fire engine has been designed to work only for unleaded Petrol. This crossfire engine is designed for both 1500 and `1800 ccm they internally and externally look alike except for the difference in wheels ----,2000 cc is different from the above. Two in terms of 3 Features --- ----- ---- on the bumper.
57.the engine runs only on the leaded petrol -- F
58.1500 and 1800 cc look alike -- F
59.apart from cross fire engines they manufacture -- F
60.internal structure of the 2000cc is same as that of both 1500 and 1800 cc -- C
P) A weed killer to kill the weeds has been developed. The weed killer solution has to be applied to the growing tips. It needs not to be applied to all the tips. the solution has to be prepared in a can in one hand and the plants are taken in the other hand with a glove and are immersed in the solution if we cannot immerse them in the solution. The solution can be applied to the roots with a brush. it used without care it can pose danger to other plants.
61.the solutions has to applied to growing leaves
62.to use the weed killer first take the plants in the can as then pour the solution into it.
63.it is sufficient to apply it only to some roots
64.it effects to the other plants.

Consider the following paragraph:
Researchers in Mumbai have found that certain types
of gallstones can be dissolved by injecting them with a gasoline
additive in the form of ether. The ether is injected through a tube
directly into the gall bladder. The one-day treatment works only on
cholesterol-based stones, not those composed largely of calcium.
However, as the cholesterol stones are by far the most common type,
for millions of gallstone sufferers the treatment should offer a
welcome alternative to surgery, the commonest option in most
hospitals.
# "It takes more than one day for ether to dissolve a calcium-based
gallstone".
# "Gallstones can only be dissolved by injections".
# "Gallstones can quickly be cured with surgery".
# "Ether is largely used for dissolving gallstones".
# "Calcium stones can be cured in one day".
# "Hundreds of people contains calcium stones".
Consider the following paragraph:
My father had no brothers, but his three sisters are
all married and each has two children. My grandfather has two sons.
# "My father was the only child".
# "I have only one uncle".
# "One of my aunts is a spinster".
# "I have six cousins on my father's side".
# "My grandfather was the only son".
Consider the following paragraph:
In the Totalitarian days, the words have very much
devalued. In the present day, they are becoming domestic, that is,
the words will be much more devalued. In that days, the words will be
very much effected in political area. But at present, the words came
very cheap. We can say they come free at cost.
# "In Totalitarian society, words are devalued".
# "Totalitarians will have to come much about words".
# "In the Totalitarian society the words are used for the political
speeches".
Consider the following paragraph:
In past helicopters were forced to ground or crash
because of the formation of the ice on the rotors and engines. A new
electronic device has been developed which can detect the water
content in the atmosphere and warns the pilot, if the temperature is
below freezing temperature; about the formation of ice on the rotors
and wings.
# "The electronic device can avoid the formation of ice on the wings".
# "There will be malfunction of rotor and engine because of formation
of ice".
# "The helicopters were to be crashed or grounded".
# "There is only one device that warns about the formation of ice".
Consider the following paragraph:
Human existence is not susceptible of arbitrary division
between consciousness and unconsciousness. The conscious world
invaders and shapes the activities of the unconscious, while many of
the great achievements of humanity's waking hours where wholly or
partly inspired by dreams. Even if it could argued that dreams
precede experience such a dichotomy could not be drawn, as the
influence of the dreaming on the waking state would remain unclear,
but as yet no common vocabulary exists to record the substance of
prenatal dreaming.
# "Sleep can be a creative state".
Consider the following paragraph:
FLORA 3-piece sofa-set is at the top of our upholstery

front edge ensuring really deep, long-lasting comfort. Seat cushions
are of high resilience foam and back cushions of softest hollow fill.
The whole set is carefully upholstered throughout in a choice of
superb fabrics ranging from cotton print to velvet.
# "The padding is there to ensure that the furniture will last for a
long time".
# "The firm sells other upholstery furniture".
Consider the following paragraph:
Hacking is a crime made possible by a relatively new
technology, which is one of the reasons it is often poorly understood
and reported. Many computers, but by no means all, are now linked
together in networks which allow users on one computer to communicate
with others on the same network. If a computer is not networked, no
manipulation of its data from another machine possible. So long as
users are authorized, networking is just a way of making work easier
more productive. Hacking, on the other hand is the unauthorized use
of networks or unauthorized entry into the computers themselves. Most
people do not break into the networks they use, since they are
already accredited users.
# "Hackers do not work for the firms whose networks they break into".
# "Hacking is the only vulnerability of the computers for the usage
of the data".
# "Hacking is done mostly due to the lack of computer knowledge".
Consider the following paragraph:
Polycythemia often occurs in people who have chronic lung
disease, but can appear spontaneously in healthy individuals.
Excessive numbers of red blood cells manufactured by the body and the
individual then develops a very healthy-looking, ruddy complexion.
The blood becomes thicker and is liable to clot and block major blood
vessels. High blood pressure is another frequent complication.
Treatment involves venesection, in which a liter or so of blood is
removed from the body. Medication may also be given to reduce the
numbers of red blood cells manufactured in the body.
# "Lung disease frequently precedes polycythemia".
Consider the following paragraph:
Bindweed is only effectively controlled by applying a
solution of brushwood-killer to the growing tips. It is necessary to
unwind a suitable length from the host plant before treatment, but
this is not so very difficult, and it does not seem essential to find
and treat every leader on the same weed. The solution should be made
up in a can which is carried in one hand, while the other, in a
rubber glove, inserts the leaders in the can. If the the leaders can
be laid out on the the ground , they can easily be wetted with a
small brush. As long as the weather is calm, there is no real risk of
damage to adjacent plants, and in two or three weeks the weeds should
have disappeared.
# "Brushwood-killer can pose a threat to other plants in the garden".
Consider the following paragraph:
Senior managers in a leading company said that new
Japanese investment in India was transforming the car industry, and
warned that jobs were under threat from Japanese competition. They
stated that increasing competition would be coupled with an
inevitable downturn in the car market and the recent rise interest
rates which has already hit demand.
# "The managers issued their warning after a rise in the interest
rates".
# "According to the senior managers, the Japanese investment in India
will lead to a glut in the car market".
# "Some senior managers said that more people will want to by new
cars in the future".
# "The perception of the senior managers is the new Japanese
investment in India is leading to more automation of the car
industry".
# "The increased rate of interest will mean that Japanese firms will
cease to operate in this country".
# "The increase in loan interest will adversely affect car sales".
# "Japanese workers are taking over the jobs of Indian industry".
# "Managers said that interests in car will go down after seeing the
raise in interest rates".
# "People are very interested to buy the cars".
Consider the following paragraph:
The new Starfire has an advanced four-cylinder engine
with catalytic converter and uses only unleaded petrol. Versatility
is a major feature of the range and the 1500 and 1800 models have the
same high level of specification inside and out. The only obvious
visual difference, internally and externally, is the use of alloy
wheels on the 1800 version, together with a discreet change in
badging. The StarFire 2000 is distinguished by its tailgate spoiler
and the rectangular fog and driving lamps integrated into the front
bumper which are also included in the specification.
# "Internally, the Starfire 2000 looks like the 1500 model".
Consider the following paragraph:
Pierre Claude Jean Allouez explored lake superior
from 1665 to 1667. At his little mission station near the western end
of the lake, he heard from the Indians of a great river to the west.
Pierre Jacques Marquette determined to investigate. In 1673,
accompanied by Louis Jolliet and five others, he left St. Ignace
mission and ascended the fox river, which flows into green bay
crossed over to Wisconsin river and followed it to the upper
Mississippi. The party then descended the Mississippi to the mouth of
Arkansas. These Frenchmen were not first Europeans to sight or travel
the Mississippi. De Soto and Moscoso had done so a century and a half
before. The report of the exploration was rushed back to Quebec,
where, in 1672, Count Frontenac had arrived as Governor of the
province. He and his friend, the remarkable La Salle-who earlier may
have penetrated the Ohio river valley-listened with deep interest.
# "Allouez explored the western end of lake superior".
# "Marquette and his party were not the first French men to travel
the Mississippi river".
# "La Salle listened with deep interest- the report of exploration of
De Soto and Moscoso".
# "La Salle explored the Mississippi river valley".
Consider the following paragraph:
Dr. Goddard was the first to fire a rocket that
reached a speed faster than the speed of sound. He was the first to
develop a gyroscopic steering apparatus for rockets. He was the first
to use vanes in the jet stream for rocket stabilization during the
initial phase of a rocket flight. And he was the first to patent the
idea of step rockets. After proving on paper and in actual tests that
a rocket can travel in vacuum, he developed the mathematical theory
of rocket propulsion and rocket flight, including basic designs for
long-range rockets. All of this information was available to our
military men before World War II, but evidently its immediate use
didn't seem applicable. Near the end of World War II we started
intense work on rocket-powered guided missiles, using the experiments
and developments of Dr. Goddard and the American Rocket Society.
# "The stabilization problem of rockets in the initial phase was
solved by Dr. Goddard."
# "Rockets can travel faster than sound, thanks to gyroscopic
steering."
# "Goddard lived before World War II".
# "After careful mathematical calculations, Dr. Goddard proved that
rockets can travel in vacuum".
Consider the following paragraph:
In March 1513, de Leon sailed off confidently from
Peuto Rico for the Bahamas. Landing briefly at San Salvador, Bahamas,
he wound through unchartered islands until he sighted an extensive
coastline. He had no reason to suspect that it is anything more than
an island, but he followed the coast for a day without rounding its
end or finding a suitable landing place. He named the "island" La
Florida. This name came to be applied by the Spanish to the entire
Southeastern United States and beyond. Then, near the 30th parallel,
de Leon landed at the mouth of the St. Johns river. Determined to be
the first to circumnavigate the "island", he turned south, traced the
coast around the tip of the peninsula, moved to the west, perhaps
reaching Tampa bay. After 7 weeks, he gave up hope of circling the
northern tip of this "island"; it was incredibly large and he may
have suspected that he had discovered the long sought mainland. If
so, it all belonged to his King, for he had earlier planted the
Spanish flag and claimed Florida for Ferdinand.
# "de Leon is from Spain, ruled by Ferdinand".
# "de Leon is very patriotic".
# "de Leon discovered part of US during his journey".
Consider the following paragraph:
James Madison understood that interests groups will
inevitably develop within a free political system. The problem, as
Madison saw it, was to prevent any single interest group from
becoming so strong that it was able to dominate the political system.
This could be accomplished by legislating restrictions on political
behavior, but that solution meant a sacrifice of some of the freedom
that Madison prized so highly. A better solution, he thought, was to
extend the territorial scope of the government. This would allow for
greater diversity of interests in the nation, and a greater number of
groups competing for power. Each interest group would thereby find it
more difficult to appeal to a majority of the people, and to dominate
the political process.
# "The more interest groups there are in a political system, the less
freedom there is for everyone."
# "Legislating restrictions on political behavior is sometimes the
only method of preserving political freedom."
# "Increasing the territorial scope of a government can help to
preserve freedom."
# "According to Madison, in a free political system, interest groups
are undesirable."
Consider the following paragraph:
The regulations and expenses to invent, patent and
market new ideas and products imposes a heavy burden on inventors.
The cost is often absorbed by large corporations with research and
development facilities they provide. Corporations also help creative
people contribute to society without suffering the loss of income or
security of the private inventor. The realities of this arrangement
are that many good ideas are never brought into the marketplace and
the cost of products on the market is high because of the development
cost. However, protection provided by the patents and the safety to
the public to avoid placing harmful products on the market is
important to maintain. Thus, as is often the case, rules and
regulations have their favorable and unfavorable consequences.
# "The regulations and expenses to invent, patent and market new
ideas is an expensive proposition to the inventors".
# "Good ideas are never brought into the marketplace because of the
costs involved in inventing, patenting marketing them".
# "Corporations steal the individual inventor of their inventions".
Consider the following paragraph:
Being born female and black were two handicaps
Gwendolyn Brooks states that she faced from her birth, in 1917, in
Kansas. Brooks was determined to succeed. Despite the lack of
encouragement she received from her teachers and others, she was
determined to write and found the first publisher for one of her
poems when she was 11. In 1945, she marketed and sold her first book;
national recognition ensued. She applied for and received grants and
fellowships from such organizations as the AAAL and the Guggenheim
Foundation. Later she received the Pulitzer prize for poetry; she was
the first black woman to receive such an honor. Brooks' reaction to
fame is atypical. She continues to work and work hard. She writes,
travels, and helps many who are interested in writing. Especially
important for her is increasing her knowledge of her black heritage
and encouraging other people to do the same. She encourages
dedication to the art to would-be writers.
# "Brooks' story illustrates the power of strong determination".
# "She became the author of a book in her teens".
# "Gwendolyn received the Pulitzer prize for her first poetry".
Consider the following paragraph:
A cave is a natural opening in the ground extending
beyond the zone of light and large enough to permit the entry of man.
Occurring in a wide variety of rock types and caused by widely
differing geological processes, caves range in size from single small
rooms to interconnecting passages many miles long. The scientific
study of caves is called speleology. It is a composite science based
on geology, hydrology, biology and archeology, and thus holds special
interest for earth scientists. Caves have been natural attractions
since prehistoric times. Prolific evidence of early man's interest
has been discovered in caves scattered throughout the world.
Skeletons of some of the earliest manlike creatures
(Australopithecines) have been discovered in cave deposit in South
Africa, and the first evidence of primitive Neanderthal man was found
in Germany. Cro-Magnon man created his remarkable murals on the walls
of caves in France.
# "Primitive human form originated in Germany".
# "Study of caves is the study of earth, water, life and early man".
# "Cro-Magnon man was more intelligent than Neanderthal man".
# "Caves are a natural attraction because they reveal information
about the early man".
Consider the following paragraph:
Although invaders represent the threat to the
conservation of flora and fauna, there are two special cases in which
invasion have been deliberately brought about. One is the desire to
control pests by natural predators, which may have to be brought from
other countries. The second is releasing organisms into the wild (or
on to farms, from which they might escape) that are completely novel,
because they have been genetically engineered. There is nothing
intrinsically sinister about engineered organisms, but any novelty
must be regarded as potential invader.
# "Pests are more dangerous than their natural predators".
Consider the following paragraph:
Life in colonial times was harsh, and the refinements
of the mother country were ordinarily lacking. The colonists,
however, soon began to mold their English culture into the fresh
environment of new land. The influence of religion permeated the
entire way of life. In most Southern colonies, the Anglican church
was the legally established church. In New England, the Puritans were
dominant; and in Pennsylvania, the Quakers. Especially in the New
England colonies, the local or village church was the hub of
community life; the authorities strictly enforced the Sabbath and
sometimes banished non-believers. Unfortunately, the same sort of
religious intolerance, bigotry and superstition associated with the
age of Reformation in Europe also prevailed in some of the colonies,
though on a lesser scale. In the last half of the 17th century,
during sporadic outbreak of religious fanaticism and hysteria,
Connecticut authorities tried and hanged several women as "witches".
Early in the 17th century, some other witchcraft persecution occurred
in Virginia. As the decades passed, however, religious tolerance
developed in colonies.
# "New England was part of the Southern colonies".
# "During the mid 17th century there was significant improvement in
religious tolerance and superstition".
# "Life in colonial times was harsh due to the strong influence of
religion".
# "The Anglican church used to govern the people in most Southern
colonies".
Consider the following paragraph:
Confucius said that to know the future we have to
understand the past. in his time, transport, communications and
scientific knowledge were less developed than they are today. news
took weeks to travel whereas today satellite links connect the
continents virtually instantaneously, but our technological advances
in the field of communications seem not to improved our capacity to
understand one another.
# "We understand each other better now than in Confucius' time
because we can travel more quickly".
# "In Confucius' day people were more intelligent".
# "We have made great improvements in transport since Confucius' day".
# "Technological advances in communication and human capacity to
understand one another are directly proportional".
# "In Confucius' day time news took months to travel".
# "According to Confucius the past has a linkage to the future".
# "Even with the fast developments of the technology we can't live
happily".
Consider the following paragraph:
Every form of art is protected by copyright, upon the
expiration of which the property passes to the public domain and
becomes freely available to anyone wishing to exploit it
commercially. the time has come when all treasures should pass to the
control of a trust, and by this be made readily available to anyone
on payment of a fee or royalty. The income from the works Van Gogh
would alone be enormous. Those who now gain financial benefit from
his genius should make some contribution to the welfare of the arts
in general.
# "Instead of buying a ticket, museum goers should pay a fee to a
trust for the benefit of arts".
# "It is not desirable to pass the control of treasures to a trust".
# "Van Gogh's paintings are not protected by copyright".
# "All artworks must be managed by a trust, so that the income
generated can be used for the welfare of the arts".
# "Copyright in art is valid only for a limited period of time".
# "Van Gogh's descendants should be asked to make some contribution
to the arts".
# "Van Gogh's works are under this copy right rule".
# "People are free to go to the public because of the copy right
rule".
# "People gives to theater and collect the money for development".
# "We have asked the Van Gogh descendants to help for the
developments of art".
Consider the following paragraph:
Organizing the home can be perceived as conferring
power, so large numbers of women are unwilling to let go of chores,
even when they have careers. A survey found that, out of 65 new
marriages, not one single wife expected her husband to share work
equally. According to the Family Policy Studies Center, 81% of
working wives return home to do all the cooking. The average male has
nearly half as much as more free time at weekends than his wife, and
the typical new father spends just 37 seconds a day talking to his
baby.
# "Only career women perceive organizing the home as conferring
power".
# "The average wife has half as much free time at weekends as her
husband".
# "The family planning studies center shows that 81% working wives do
all the cooking at home".
# "19% working wives do not want to do the cooking at home".
# "Housewives want the husbands to take part equally in the
household".
# "Wives have half as much leisure time as the husbands have".
# "39% of the men will work equally in the house in cleaning and
washing".
Consider the following paragraph:
Statistics show that millions of vehicles have been
carried by shuttle over the past 30 years through Alpine tunnels
without one ever catching fire. In the Alpine tunnels, drivers and
passengers sit in their vehicles on the shuttle trains. Only one
vehicle has ever caught fire on the busy French motorail equivalent
system. This sort of accident is not possible in a closed shuttle.
Assertion that a vehicle fire will lead to catastrophe have no basis.
Since the resources exist to detect, control and extinguish a fire,
and to remove any persons present safely to an adjoining wagon,
leaving any surviving fire facing rapid extinction within a wagon
built to contain fire for 30 minutes, catastrophe seems very unlikely.
# " It is theoretically possible for a vehicle to catch fire even in
a closed wagon".
# " The French motorail system is inferior to the shuttle train
system."
# "No accident can occur in the closed tunnels".
# "Fire is allowed to live for 30 min".
# "All the cars that travel in the tunnels will be carried by rail
shutters".
