Company guide · India · 2026
TCS interviewers scan resumes fast — often at TR (technical round), MR (managerial), and HR. They look for clean formatting, strong academics (CGPA / percentages), a project section, and internship or client-project exposure. Certifications from Coursera / Udemy help freshers. Presentation matters here more than at product companies.

Traditional format Indian recruiters know
What actually works
Include SSC, HSC, and college percentages/CGPA — TCS explicitly checks academic cutoffs (usually 60%+ throughout).
Add a Projects section even if only college projects. TCS interviewers grill on projects to test fundamentals.
Certifications matter: mention any Coursera / NPTEL / TCS iON courses — freshers get shortlisted faster.
Keep it 1–2 pages max, black-and-white, no fancy graphics. TCS values traditional formats.
For experienced hires: list client names, project domains, and technologies clearly — TCS staffing looks for exact matches.
