I appeared for the TCS Digital recruitment process, and I’d like to share my experience to help others preparing for it.
Step 1: Registration
The process started with registration on the TCS NextStep portal, where I filled in my academic and personal details and completed the application.
Step 2: TCS NQT Exam
After registration, I appeared for the TCS NQT (National Qualifier Test) which included:
Aptitude
Reasoning
Verbal
Coding section
The exam was moderate in difficulty and required good time management.
Step 3: Shortlisting for Digital Interview

Honestly, this felt like a big achievement.
