Placement preparation guides, by company.

TCS hires freshers primarily through the TCS iON NQT — a single online test with a Foundation section (numerical, verbal, reasoning) and an Advanced section (advanced quant/reasoning plus two coding problems) that together decide whether you're placed on the Ninja, Digital, or Prime track, followed by a combined technical and HR interview.

Infosys recruits through three distinct packages: Systems Engineer (roughly 3.6 LPA), Digital Specialist Engineer (roughly 6.25 LPA), and Specialist Programmer (roughly 9.5 LPA via HackWithInfy). Systems Engineer and DSE candidates sit an online test with quant, logical reasoning, pseudocode, and English sections plus one coding problem; Specialist Programmer candidates instead solve three algorithmic coding problems in a longer online round — all followed by a technical and HR interview.

Cognizant's fresher hiring runs through GenC, GenC Next, and GenC Pro — an online assessment covering aptitude, verbal, and reasoning for every candidate, with an additional coding round for the Next/Pro tracks, followed by a technical and HR interview that's often a single combined panel.

Accenture's fresher hiring is elimination-based at every stage: a 90-question, 90-minute Cognitive & Technical Assessment (critical reasoning, abstract reasoning, English, pseudocode, and cloud/security MCQs) must clear every sectional cutoff before you're allowed into the coding assessment, followed by a communication assessment and a final technical + HR interview.

Capgemini's fresher hiring runs through the Exceller assessment: a game-based cognitive aptitude battery (Grid Challenge, Motion Challenge, Deductive-Logical Switch Challenge, Digit Challenge) in place of traditional quant MCQs, plus English/communication and pseudocode sections, followed by a technical interview and an HR interview.

IBM's campus hiring typically starts with an online cognitive and technical aptitude assessment (quantitative, logical reasoning, and verbal sections), followed by a coding round testing programming fundamentals and problem solving, and closes with a technical interview and an HR interview focused on communication and role fit.
