OCS Feb 23: All India 2nd Rank!

With the help of TCS, I got an all India second national rank for my CIMA performance. This wouldn't have been possible if i wasn't tutored via TCS. This institute is doing a great and marvelous job at training CIMA professionals thoroughly.

Shloka Menda

OCS Feb 22: All India 2nd Rank!

TCS is one the best places to seek training for the CIMA examinations. I thank the tutors at TCS whole heartedly for guiding me through the nitty gritty of the OCS examination which helped to achieve an exemplary result of 109/150.

Keshav Varna

SCS Nov 22: All India 4th Rank!

We were provided with lots of relevant material and mocks that helped us practice and gain more experience.

Overall I was provided the best support I required to achieve an All India 4th rank.

Harisha Guna

OCS Aug 22: 103 Marks!

It was a delight for me to pass the OCS exam with a score of 103, as I was hoping to just nick a pass, let alone pass by a decent margin. While I did put in utmost effort to achieve success, TCS' Value pack consisting of 5 mocks with answers and personalized tutor support was the reason I got a good idea on the way of writing answers which are crisp but deliver all the required details for the task which proved to make a difference to my result.

Aaron Pinto

OCS Aug 22: 102 Marks!

I scored 102 marks and was immensely benefitted by the free webinars conducted by TCS. The 5 mocks exams and tutor feedback helped immensely as well. Thank you TCS team! Excited to take on MCS with you guys in November 2022!

Mayur Rajput

MCS May 22: 97 Marks!

With the help of coaching provided by TCS, I was not just able to pass, but even score 97 marks! The mocks, feedback and material were amazing and Nic was reachable at any time, who helped me clear all my doubts instantaneously. Thank you TCS and Nic! Your mentoring and feedback was amazaing!

V Abishek Prasad

I was able to secure 103 marks in MCS with help of various tutorials and practice kits provided by TCS.

I passed the SCS exam gaining 104 marks in my first sitting itself, thanks to the material and guidance provided by TCS. Nic was extremely helpful and provided feedback to all my mocks instantaneously. Thank you TCS!

Prathyusha

SCS May 22: 101 Marks!

I have taken many mock exams and solved practice kits from various tuition providers while preparing for my earlier CIMA levels. Nonetheless, TCS mocks and kits were the most enriching amongst everything and I was able to clear the Strategic Case Study Exam in one attempt securing 101 marks. The differentiating factor in these mocks are, they are of exam standards and the tasks are extremely close to the kind of cases we would face in the actual exam. As we attempt these mocks with full focus, we gradually prepare ourselves for the actual exam. Useful for last minute revisions as well. Highly recommended! Thank you TCS!

SCS Nov 21: 94 Marks!

Excellent coaching. Received 94 in my CIMA SCS exam.

Madhumita V K

SCS Nov 21: 91 Marks!

To the TCS team regarding the MCS NOV Exams* Even though I was uncertain about the November exam, I managed to pass it and used the TCS material which I obtained on the week before we wrote the exam.

I therfore encourage individuals to purchase this material as it lightens the workload and providing detailed insight and relevant study techniques. Regards Selina
