TCS
Tata Consultancy Services — India's Largest IT Employer
Eligibility: 60% throughout (10th, 12th, UG), no active backlogs, gap ≤ 2 years
Test Sections
+3 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
NQT score determines your track — above ~70th percentile goes to Digital track (7 LPA); below is Ninja (3.36 LPA). Focus on Verbal Ability as it is most differentiating.
TCS TR interviewers follow a standard question bank. Prepare OOP, DBMS (SQL queries), OS (process/thread/deadlock), and your project thoroughly.
Infosys
Infosys — Navigate Your Next
Eligibility: 65% throughout, no active backlogs at time of joining, gap ≤ 2 years
Test Sections
+3 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
Complete InfyTQ certification before campus drive — many colleges report that InfyTQ-certified students get shortlisted preferentially for the SP (Specialist Programmer) track.
The GEC Mysuru training is 3 months — you will be assessed throughout. Attitude and learning speed matter more than prior knowledge.
Wipro
Wipro — Applying Thought to Technology
Eligibility: 60% throughout, no backlogs, all branches eligible
Test Sections
+2 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
The Essay Writing section is taken seriously at Wipro. Practice writing 200-250 words in 20 minutes on tech/current affairs topics. Check grammar, structure (Intro → Body → Conclusion), and avoid vague statements.
Wipro Elite track candidates face harder coding questions (medium DSA). Practice at least 20 LeetCode easy + 10 medium before the test.
Cognizant
Cognizant — Intuition Engineered
Eligibility: 60% in UG, no current backlogs, all branches eligible
Test Sections
+2 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
The game-based assessments cannot be 'prepared for' in the traditional sense — they measure cognitive ability. Get enough sleep, stay calm, and approach each game as a puzzle.
For GenC Elevate (7.5 LPA), the coding bar is similar to Infosys DSE — practice LeetCode medium problems in arrays, strings, and basic DP.
Accenture
Accenture — Let There Be Change
Eligibility: 60% in X, XII, Graduation; no active backlogs; all branches
Test Sections
+3 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
The Attention to Detail section is uniquely challenging — practice spotting differences in tables and data quickly. Many candidates run out of time here.
Versant spoken English test: speak at a consistent pace, enunciate clearly, and don't pause too long. Practice by recording yourself reading news articles aloud for 2 weeks before the test.
Capgemini
Capgemini — Get the Future You Want
Eligibility: 60% aggregate throughout; all streams/branches
Test Sections
+2 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
The Pseudocode section is Capgemini's unique differentiator — 80% of candidates who fail the online test fail here. Practice tracing pseudocode for nested loops, recursive functions, and conditional logic daily for 1 week.
Essay writing: Read 5-10 sample essays online and identify the structure (3-4 paragraphs). Never go under 200 words or over 280 words. Proofread in the last 2 minutes.
HCL Technologies
HCL — Supercharging Progress
Eligibility: 60% aggregate, max 1 active backlog allowed, any branch
Test Sections
+3 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
HCL Technical MCQ section is more rigorous than TCS/Wipro — spend time on C/Java/C++ output prediction questions. Practice 50+ code output MCQs on IndiaBIX.
HCL accepts candidates with up to 1 active backlog — if you have a backlog, be upfront in the interview. Show you're working to clear it and that it doesn't reflect your overall capability.
Tech Mahindra
Tech Mahindra — Connected World, Connected Experiences
Eligibility: 55% aggregate, no backlogs at joining, all branches
Test Sections
+2 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
Tech Mahindra interviews are generally straightforward — a confident student with good communication and basic CS fundamentals usually clears. Don't underestimate the verbal/communication aspect.
Tech Mahindra has a strong telecom and BPO division. If you're placed in a non-software role initially, use internal transfer opportunities (iDream program) to move to development after 1-2 years.
Amazon
Amazon — Work Hard. Have Fun. Make History.
Eligibility: SDE: 7.5+ CGPA preferred, CS/IT/ECE; Operations: Any branch 60%+
Test Sections
+2 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
Amazon's bar is significantly higher than service companies for SDE roles. LeetCode Medium is the minimum bar — solve 100+ problems (focus on Arrays, Strings, Trees, DP, Graphs) before the OA.
Every interview round tests Leadership Principles using behavioral questions. Prepare 7-8 STAR stories mapped to Amazon's 16 LPs. 'Tell me about yourself' at Amazon means 'tell me a story demonstrating customer obsession or ownership.'
Hexaware Technologies
Hexaware — Radically Human
Eligibility: 60% aggregate, no active backlogs, all branches
Test Sections
+2 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
Hexaware's online test is easier than TCS/Infosys — a student with solid basics can clear it comfortably. Don't underestimate it; the competition is still significant in volume.
Technical Interview at Hexaware is conversational rather than interrogative. Speak confidently about your project, any internship experience, and 2-3 technologies you know well.
LTIMindtree
LTIMindtree — Engineering a Better Future
Eligibility: 60% aggregate (some drives 65%), no backlogs at joining, all branches
Test Sections
+2 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
LTIMindtree pays better than most service companies at fresher level (4.5-5 LPA) but the bar is correspondingly higher. Treat their coding round like Infosys DSE — LeetCode medium problems.
Spring Boot and microservices knowledge — even at a basic level — is a massive differentiator at LTIMindtree. Complete a 4-hour Spring Boot tutorial and build a CRUD REST API before the interview.
Zoho Corporation
Zoho — Work Smarter. Together.
Eligibility: Any percentage, any college, any branch — purely merit-based
Test Sections
+3 more sections
Interview Flow
Quick Tips
Zoho's written test is legendary for its length (8+ hours total across rounds) and difficulty. Arrive mentally prepared for a marathon — stamina and focus are tested alongside knowledge.
Zoho hires from ANY college and ANY percentage — this is rare. If you've been rejected elsewhere due to low CGPA, Zoho is your biggest opportunity. Demonstrate pure coding ability.
