Vidya’s placement scenario for the new academic year unfolds with a grand opening!
Vidya concluded the academic year 2018-19 with an impressive and enviable score of more than 300 placement offers, a score that could be achieved only because of the concerted efforts of all the stake holders of Vidya under the leadership of the Dept of Placement and Training of the College.
The placement activities for the current academic year (2019 – 20) have just started and the authorities have a got a boost in the arm at the very beginning itself when the news about the results of TCS National Qualifier Test (TNQT) 2020 reached the campus. As many as 63 students of Vidya of various streams have cleared the Test and ten of them have performed so well that they have been selected directly for the Digital Test with promise of placement offers at a much higher level.
TCS National Qualifier Test (TNQT) 2020 is a pan India drive beginning with an online test followed by a personal interview which will have three rounds – technical, managerial and HR. The online test was conducted in 3, 4 August 2019.

Some history
Formerly, TCS was visiting selected campuses in India with proven established standards to recruit personnel for their growing organisation. Vidya was one among those few selected campuses. From the last academic year onward, TCS stopped this practice and started the current practice of holding a national qualifier test and then selecting candidates based on the performance in the Test for conducting further steps in the selection process. The Test conducted in 2018 was labelled as TCS Ninja and now it has been renamed as TCS National Qualifier Test. In the Test conducted this year, Vidya’s students were competing with students across all campuses in the whole of India. Though data are not available regarding the performance of students of other colleges, it appears that collectively Vidya’s students have performed very well in the Test conducted this year.
