Placement test patterns and how to prepare
- TCS National Qualifier Test (NQT): TCS hires freshers mostly through the NQT. A foundation section decides most offers; an advanced section opens the higher-paid roles.
- Infosys online test: Infosys usually tests reasoning, maths, verbal ability and pseudocode online, with harder coding rounds for its specialist programmer roles.
- Wipro Elite National Talent Hunt (NLTH): Wipro’s fresher drive usually has an online assessment with aptitude, a written essay and coding, followed by interviews.
- Accenture assessment: Accenture usually runs a cognitive and technical assessment, a coding round and a communication test before the interview.
- Cognizant GenC assessment: Cognizant hires freshers into tracks such as GenC, GenC Next and GenC Elevate; higher tracks add coding and harder technical rounds.
- Capgemini assessment: Capgemini usually combines pseudocode, English, game-based aptitude and a behavioural test before the interview.
