TCS Software Engineer Interview Experience: long onsite technical and SQL day

I waited in a hall while candidates were called one at a time, then entered a technical round based directly on my CV. I was asked at least one DSA question, so the interview tested both fundamentals and problem solving.

The day was long and exhausting. The format I recall had a technical segment first, followed by coding and SQL queries, and interviewers would help when I got stuck. It ran from morning into evening at a venue far from me. After two hours of onsite interviewing and another panel component, I received a rejection email two days later. The pace and repeated rounds made it difficult to stay fully sharp, even though I understood the expectations.

Location: India. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
