Is it mandatory to join TCS ?
If you did any certification.. And that is there in the drop down list.. Then you can add that certificate to your profile.. And coming to nsr.. You have to register yourself in nasscom(nsr) by adding all your information.. And also you have to pay around 500/- and complete the biometric in your nearby pos center (Only available in cities like Hyd,bnglr,chennai) and after completing the biometric process.. They will give you an IT pin and you have to enter that pin in next step portal
