TCS Aspire-A key to early on-boarding

          If you have been placed at TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) and have received the offer letter, it is around time that you receive an e-mail asking you to take up the Aspire Online courses available under the Campus Commune tab in your login home page.
          Completing the Aspire Course content with a good score is necessary for early on boarding onto TCS. The Aspire course is quite a lengthy one and requires much attention to clear the cut-off and make it early to TCS. As of now, there are seven modules in the aspire course. The list of these modules are as follows:

  1. Introduction to Computer Systems    (280 miles)
  2. Know your TCS   (120 miles)
  3. Basics of Programming   (800 miles)
  4. Business Skills   (480 miles)
  5. Problem Solving   (800 miles)
  6. RDBMS   (800 miles)
  7. Python   (1440 miles)
       Total          4720 miles

          Each module has various number of sub-modules and course materials to go through. After learning each sub-module, it is advised to take up the quiz for the session and clear the task. Make sure that the preparation is good enough as the questions asked in the quiz requires knowledge into the finest detail written in the course material. The batching process requires that you should clear the cutoff score after completing all the modules in the Aspire course. Suppose the miles required for cu-off is 3700. If you have cleared the cut-off, based on your scores, you will be selected for the then-batching process. If you fail to clear the cutoff, you have the option to reset these courses and reattempt the module(s) in which the score is not satisfactory. Tip: Make sure that you reset these modules only after completing all the modules. 
          So, every time the batching process for a month is completed, you will be provided the reset option for all modules except Business skills. Once you have cleared the cut-off, you will be asked to take up the language lounge quiz whose scores are not looked into, while deciding your joining date, batch and venue. The final score which shortlists you into a batch is dependent on various parameters like the Aspire Course Score, Your Interview Score, Personal Profile Score etc. and based on all this, and your preferred location and selected stream, they will provide you with the joining date and ILP location. 
All the best for all those preparing to join TCS. If you have any doubts or clarifications, just comment on this and I shall get back to you ASAP
