Technical Interview Focus on your core technical skills (depends on your resume). For Mainframe roles → COBOL, JCL, DB2, VSAM, IMS, CICS, utilities, debugging. there were questions on my past projects, problem-solving, and live coding. For me Managerial Round merged with Technical Focus on: Problem-solving in real scenarios (e.g., missed production issue, performance tuning, client escalations). Team handling / leadership skills if you are senior. Behavioral questions: handling pressure, deadlines, conflicts in a team. Client interaction ability. HR Round: Usually the final step. Covers: Salary discussion (hike from current CTC, TCS bands). Work location (TCS has strict location policies). Work culture & shift flexibility (support projects may require night shifts). Offer & Background Check If you clear all rounds, TCS releases the offer letter. Background verification (employment history, education, etc.) is mandatory before onboarding.

It was a good one, All rounds completed in one day and they released offer after 1 week. No negotiation on the numbers. After joining, client interviews were there so be prepared for that as well.
