Rural IT Wiz-

TCS conducts Rural IT wiz too to reach to bring out the Techies residing in the deep roots of the country....The quiz has a similar format but 10 questions are MCQs in the preliminary round...This quiz is conducted for the non-metropolitan cities of a region so if you reside in a metropolitan city or where the urban quiz has been conducted don't try to get in the quiz even if you are given a chance....(Mind it!! It has happened with me)
