TCS BG Verification clarification

The background verification in TCS is very strict. If your background checks with what you’ve mentioned on the resume, TCS can accept you as an employee. After you’ve cleared the interview round, TCS will send you a consent email for background check and when you accept it they will reach out to your educational institutes and ex-employers to match whether whatever you’ve said on your resume is true or not. Generally, if you have a career gap, in the interview round itself the manager will address the matter. I also had a career gap which was pointed out to me by the manager and answered it with utmost honesty. Make sure you answer honestly and then you will stand a chance to be a part of this organisation.

I can understand the worries about background verification in TCS, particularly when it comes to gaps in high school or work, as anyone with more than ten years of experience in the IT sector. I was in the same position when I applied at a top IT company a few years ago. Due to personal issues and further study, I took a break for two years after earning my degree.

According to my notes, TCS values honesty and reliability across your career rather than pursuing applicants for gaps, particularly if you have been open and given good cause, as you did when you discussed deciding backlog. In general, the background verification in TCS examines a candidate's honesty, educational background, and overall work history. The gap won't be a problem, in my opinion, but it's always important to be honest and ready to explain.

Congratulations on getting a job at TCS! It is indeed a very good company in the IT industry. As it has its branches in many places, the company expects employees to have a clear background. It is for this reason the background verification in TCS is so strict. I was also an employee at TCS before I made a career switch. Back then, the designated team ran a background verification of me too. The company’s background verification team connected with my previous employer, school, college and even my house to verify if I had worked, studied and lived in all those places. It is a basic formality that any reputed company does, so you don’t have to worry about it. And as for your 3.6-year gap, if they ask, just be confident and tell the actual reason.
