MNC Application & Interview Process

A complete step-by-step guide to navigating the recruitment process of top Multinational Companies.

While every company has its nuances, the core structure of MNC recruitment remains remarkably consistent. Understanding this flow helps you prepare for each stage effectively.

1

Online Application & Registration

The first step is registering on the company's career portal or applying through a job posting.

  • NQT (National Qualifier Test): For TCS, you need to register for NQT.
  • Superset: Many companies like Capgemini and Cognizant use Superset for registration.
  • Resume Parsing: Ensure your resume is ATS-friendly as machines often screen it first.
2

Online Assessment (Aptitude & Coding)

This is the elimination round. It typically consists of:

Aptitude

Quantitative, Logical, and Verbal ability.

Technical MCQs

Basic CS concepts, pseudo-code, and output prediction.

Coding

1-2 coding problems (Arrays, Strings, Data Structures).

Communication

Essay writing or verbal ability test (optional).

3

Technical Interview (TR)

If you clear the assessment, you face the Technical panel.

  • Project Discussion: Deep dive into your projects.
  • Core Subjects: Questions on DBMS, OS, CN, and OOPs.
  • Live Coding: Writing code on paper or a shared editor.
  • Puzzle Solving: Testing your lateral thinking.
Prepare Company-Specific Questions

HR Interview

The final hurdle. It's about personality and cultural fit.

  • Introduction: "Tell me about yourself."
  • Strengths/Weaknesses: Be honest but professional.
  • Relocation: Willingness to work anywhere in India.
  • Company Knowledge: "Why do you want to join us?"
