Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - If you are a fresher practice aptitude more than coding since for getting a job in TCS aptitude is more important than coding. Don't just rely on things taught by your college. Go hard for DSA. 60-70% of the questions were from DSA. It's quiet good if u can answer 70% of these questions. I myself was not able to answer all these questions. The more accurate your answers are the harder the questions get. If the level of questions increases every time then there's a high chance that TR is impressed with you. If u are not from CSE or IT background my suggestion is for them to start preparation at least 3 months prior examination.

Brainstorm solutions: Once you understand the problem, brainstorm possible solutions. This may involve gathering information, consulting with others, or simply taking some time to think creatively.

Implement and monitor progress: Finally, put your plan into action and monitor progress along the way. Be prepared to adjust your approach if needed, and celebrate milestones and successes as you work towards your goal.
