An Additional Note to all the Aspirants
Whether it’s TCS, Mindtree, or any other company, the main thing they look to is your attitude. The way you respond to things, your passion, your interest and your learning ability are the things that would be assessed by HR.
They expect the candidates to have a sound open mind and have the mindset and attitude to learn anything. Another thing to consider is the question of “coming from x (any dept) why do you want to join IT?” This would be a common and favourite question for HRs for candidates from non-programming backgrounds.
The best way is to say that the current world is running on IT and every day every activity is dependent on IT. I am willing to incorporate my domain knowledge with that of appropriate principles of IT to bring the best to society. All the best and hope you ace your interview.
