TCS NQT preparation

TCS hires most freshers through the National Qualifier Test (NQT), run on TCS iON. Scores decide the Ninja, Digital and Prime roles. Tests run every few weeks and are open to pre-final and final-year students and recent graduates.

Previously asked TCS NQT questions (25)

Test pattern

Section	Questions	Time
Numerical Ability	20	25 min
Verbal Ability	25	25 min
Reasoning Ability	20	25 min
Advanced Quantitative and Reasoning	15	25 min

The real test also has an Advanced Coding section (2–3 problems). Practise the coding problems below in C, C++, Java or Python.

Tips

There is usually no negative marking, so answer every question.
Each section has its own timer; you cannot go back to a finished section.
Foundation sections decide Ninja; the Advanced sections open Digital and Prime roles.
