Hiring notes

Clear NQT first — Foundation has negative marking (0.25 per wrong answer).
Technical rounds focus on basics: C/Java/Python, OOP, DBMS, and your projects.
Know your resume line-by-line; TCS panels probe project ownership.
Digital/Prime tracks expect stronger coding than Ninja — enable coding in mocks once Easy PYQs feel steady.
