Tips to clear TCS
- No negative marking — never leave a question blank.
- Numerical ability carries the most weight; practise percentages and time-work.
- Advanced coding allows C, C++, Java, Python; handle input carefully.
Exam rules
- Sections run one after another with their own timer. You cannot go back to a finished section.
- When a section's time runs out it is submitted automatically.
- To clear, score at least 65% in every section (our practice guideline, not the company's official cut-off).
- No negative marking — attempt everything.
- Coding rounds open each problem in a new tab; tick it once all its test cases pass.
