I have completed my B.Tech from Bundelkhand Institute of Engineering and Technology,Jhansi(U.P.) which is a well recognized govt. college of GBTU(Formerly UPTU) which is ranked 3 among all the colleges after HBTI Kanpur and IET Lucknow.

first we have to go through written test which was consisting of 35 question. we have prepared for TCS very well so all questions were familiar to us and 34 of 35 questions were correctly answered by most of us and all the questions were having different weightage.
you can find all the questions of TCS on www.google.com ,http://www.freshersworld.com, http://www.freshersresource.com, http://www.scribd.com by searching Touchstone or TCS question paper etc you will get thousands of questions of the same type.

After that he asked me to tell a joke and asked what i used to do on weekend and I got very less marks in my 4th semester as compared to other semesters so he asked me why?
He also asked me "You don't think that you should be the topper of your class"
My hobbies were playing computer games and playing Chess.So he asked that which game you play and in which language the code of that particular game is written etc.
I was not expecting this much in TCS interview but i was well prepared so I answered all of them and got selected for the next round(HR Interview)
