The Codevita Drive was very well conducted by the TCS management committe at the TCS Campus, Indore. There were 2 slots for students from various colleges as a lot of them were from Indore as well as from Bhopal and Vidisha also. I was alloted the the 2nd slot which was from 12.30 PM.

Entered at 12:00:

We were asked to bring a govt. issued ID proof for manual checking at the campus gate. After the verification process, we were brought to a central Hall. Students from the previous slot were also there.

Lunch From 1:00- 2:00 PM:

The lunch Break held between 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. We went to the TCS Canteen where we enjoyed the food and came back before 2’O clock.

Called For Interview around 4:30 PM:

I was then called for the interview around 4:30 PM. A batch of 6 students was called along with me and we were then brought to the place where Interviews were to be taken. We were told earlier in the college that the interviews will be Remote, but to my amusement, there were interviewers sitting in separate halls ready to take the interviews. There were around 10 separate Cabins. Then after 10 minutes of waiting, I was called by in one of the cabins.There were 2 Interviewers in my cabin initially.
