Hello Shubham Paul
ReplyDeleteI was selected for tcs in the month of dec 2019 thorugh smart hire(for BSc students).
I have completed my final sem exams but the only problem is that i have a backlog in 5th sem. I also had backlogs in other sems but i cleared them,since my university is not conducting instant exam this year i am not able to clear that backlog and that exam will be conducted in march,so will clear it in march. my doubt is tcs allow me to onbaord or will my offer be revoked since i have a backlog.
thanks in advance.
A maximum of 1 pending backlog is permitted at the time of appearing for the TCS Selection Process. If a candidate has been selected, then, no backlogs shall be permitted at the time of joining TCS. All pending backlogs should be completed within the normal course duration. If backlogs are not cleared within the normal course duration, then, the candidate is ineligible to apply.

DeleteHello Shubham, glad to read. Actually, my name is misspelled in the aadhar and pan card which is correct in the clg database or marksheets. There is a minor mistake, in place of A there is O in those IDs. So, will there be any problem while submitting those documents as proof on nextstep in further verifications after getting offer letter?
ReplyDeleteYes, you will face problems. Make sure your name & it's spell is same on all of your documents. If it's misspelled then you can make an affidavit saying that these two names are same person. Same case happened with me i did the same thing. After i joined i have corrected all the names that was misspelled.
DeleteThank you for the reply shubham. So at the time of background verification, only affidavit will hold for this misspelled names? Also, can I connect with you in WhatsApp or any other medium since I want to know this in details and this can't be done here.
