CommunityTCS Digital 2025 — full process from NQT to offer (my experience)
Just got my TCS Digital offer after a long process. Sharing everything in case it helps 2026 batch.
NQT structure
Three sections: numerical ability (20 questions, 40 min), verbal (15 questions, 20 min), and the programming section (2 questions, 45 min). The Digital stream has a higher cutoff than Prime — you need to clear all three sections, not just the aggregate.
Programming questions I got
One was finding all unique substrings of a given string. The other was a matrix rotation problem. Both medium difficulty. I solved the first fully and got partial credit on the second — still cleared.
Technical interview
45 minutes. Started with my project (I was asked to explain the architecture, which database I used and why, and what I would change). Then OOP — they specifically asked me to explain polymorphism with a real-world example and write a small code snippet. One DSA question: reverse a linked list.
HR round
Standard questions. Tell me about yourself (keep it under 2 minutes), why TCS, relocation comfort, salary expectations. Don't overthink HR — be natural and consistent with what you said in the technical round.
Advice: Practice explaining your project until you're bored of it. That's usually the deepest part of the technical round.
