PREPARATION FORMAT
The general placement procedure of TCS is:

APTITUDE ROUND (Online Test)
I was asked to appear for the TCS Recruitment process for the first round. I was sent a username and password and asked to log on to the website and fill in a few more details and then generate a Hall Ticket (PDF) format. I took 2 prints of the hall ticket and 2 copies of my resume along with me. A photo identification proof is also required
(Driving License / Voters ID / College ID card / Passport etc)
The Aptitude Test was conducted at SRS College of Multimedia, Avadi, Chennai on 12thOctober.
No. of students appeared: Almost 18,000
Since the test was an online test I might not be able to remember some of the questions.. but heres what I can recall. The section actually consisted of three sections namely,

1) Verbal Section. (20 minutes)
  10 synonyms
  10 antonyms
  6 fill in blanks
  6 reading comprehension
Prepare GRE words as much as possible. But don't waste lot of time going through this section. Prepare high frequency GRE Barron's words thoroughly.

2) Aptitude (40 minutes)
38 questions
In this section almost all the questions were from previous year papers. So for aptitude just practice previous year papers. That alone is enough. Be through with all the aptitude questions and especially the method of doing. Make sure that u get 35 questions correct out of the 38 questions.

3) Analytical & Critical Reasoning. (30 minutes)
 3 passages
This section was exactly from GRE Barron's (12th edition). The questions order was also not changed. So MUG it up.

4) No Psychometric Test.

Try to get 85% in aptitude, 20% in Verbal and 20% in Analytical & Critical Reasoning and then u can be confident that you will get short listed in the first round.
