About TCS :

For individuals gearing up for TCS placements in 2024, understanding the revamped syllabus is crucial. In this article, we provide an in-depth overview of the TCS placement syllabus, encompassing both On-Campus and Off-Campus recruitment processes.

With recent updates, the TCS test now comprises two main rounds –

• • Foundation

• • Advanced

,catering to three distinct job profiles: Ninja, Digital, and Prime.

Key Notes :

1. 1. No Negative Marking:
      • • The TCS NQT for 2024 will not feature negative marking. This provides candidates with the opportunity to approach questions strategically without the fear of penalties.

1. 1. Non-Adaptive Test:
      • • TCS NQT is non-adaptive this year. This means that the difficulty level of the questions remains constant throughout the test, allowing candidates to plan their time effectively.

1. 1. On-Screen Calculator and Rough Paper:
      • • Candidates won’t receive physical rough paper during the exam. Instead, a digital calculator and virtual rough paper will be available on the desktop screen. This adjustment aims to streamline the examination process.

1. 1. Restricted Eye Movement:
      • • A notable change in the exam protocol is the prohibition of moving eyes down while taking the test. This emphasizes the need for focused attention on the screen during the examination.

Syllabus Breakdown :

Part A : Foundation Section

• • Numerical Ability: Assessing candidates’ quantitative aptitude, this section evaluates their mathematical skills and problem-solving capabilities.

• • Verbal English: Testing language proficiency and communication skills, this section gauges candidates’ ability to comprehend and respond to English passages.

• • Reasoning Ability: Focusing on logical reasoning, this section aims to evaluate candidates’ analytical thinking and decision-making skills.

Part B: Advanced Section
