Do All Graduates Get Placed by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)?

As someone who frequently comes across questions regarding the recruitment process of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the answer is not all graduates are guaranteed placement. TCS operates on a competitive and selective hiring process, with specific criteria and requirements candidates must meet in order to be considered for a position. Understanding these criteria is crucial for hopeful candidates.

Referral and Direct Hire

One of the best ways candidates can increase their chances of getting placed with TCS is through referrals and direct hire programs. Recommendations from current or former TCS employees, alumni, or through direct application can provide a significant advantage. Candidates can start their quest by appearing for tests similar to the NQT (National Quantitative Test), designed specifically for technical roles, or a test tailored for BPS (Basic Pay Scale) units for non-technical roles.
