TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026 is scheduled for Wednesday, 16 September 2026, 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM at TCS Hinjewadi Phase 3, Pune. TCS BPS is hiring for Back Office Operations – Data Processing Transactions. Open to full-time BCom, BA, BBA, BBM, BMS, BAF, BBI and B.Sc (except CS & IT) graduates from the 2025 and 2026 batches with 0 to 6 months experience. You must register on TCS NextStep under the BPS category before you attend.
The message circulating on LinkedIn says “Freshers only”. The official TCS creative says 0 to 6 months experience. If you graduated in 2025, took a short first job and left, you have been reading a version of this notice that wrongly rules you out. The TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026 poster is the primary source, and it explicitly opens the door to candidates with up to six months of work experience.
TCS states that for this requirement, the highest qualification should be graduate ONLY. If you have completed a postgraduate degree – MCom, MA, MBA, MSc, MCA – or you are currently pursuing one, you are not eligible for the TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026. This is checked before the test process, so turning up anyway means being sent home at the door. It is the single most common reason candidates are rejected at BPS walk-ins.
Job Summary
TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026 – full drive details
This is a physical walk-in, not an online application window. You attend in person on the day with your documents. The TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026 is being held at the Hinjewadi campus and runs for a single morning only.
- Date: Wednesday, 16 September 2026
- Time: 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM – reporting closes at noon
- Venue: A1 Building, Audi, Zone 2, Gate-1, Tata Consultancy Services, Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, Hinjewadi Phase 3, Pune – 411057
- Role: Back Office Operations – Data Processing Transactions
- Experience: 0 to 6 months
Reach early. Walk-in queues at Hinjewadi build well before the stated start time, and the 12:00 PM cut-off is a hard stop for reporting, not for the process itself – the aptitude test and interview run past it.
TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026 eligibility
- Full-time graduates only from a recognised university or college.
- Streams accepted: BCom, BA, BBA, BBM, BMS, BAF, BBI and B.Sc.
- B.Sc excluding Computer Science and IT.
- Batch of 2025 and 2026.
- Highest qualification must be graduate only – no completed or ongoing PG.
- Must be flexible to work in any shift.
- Eligibility is verified before the test process begins.
The official TCS creative excludes B.Sc Computer Science and B.Sc IT only. One widely shared text version of the same notice also excludes B.Sc Agriculture. We are flagging this rather than picking a side, because we cannot verify which is current. If you are a B.Sc Agriculture graduate, the poster does not exclude you – but confirm at the registration desk before you travel, and carry your marksheets either way.
Selection process
The TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026 uses a two-stage knockout format. TCS notes that each level must be cleared to progress to the next.
- Aptitude test – standard TCS BPS assessment covering numerical ability, reasoning and English.
- Interview – conducted only for candidates who clear the aptitude test.
Prepare for the aptitude test the way you would for any TCS assessment — the TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026 uses the standard BPS paper, so practising percentages, ratios, data interpretation and basic English grammar for a few evenings genuinely moves the needle.
Shift flexibility is called out separately in the eligibility list, which tells you it will come up in the interview. Back office data processing for global clients runs around the clock. Answer honestly, but understand that saying you cannot do night shifts is likely to end the conversation.
Documents to carry to the TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026
- Updated resume.
- Government photo ID proof.
- All academic documents – originals and scanned copies.
- TCS Application form, with name, date of birth and address entered exactly as they appear on your Aadhaar card.
- Your TCS NextStep DT profile details, registered under the BPS category.
The Aadhaar-matching instruction is not a formality. Mismatched names or dates between your application form and your Aadhaar are a routine cause of rejection at the verification desk, and you cannot fix it on the day.
Registration is mandatory before you attend the TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026. Candidates who arrive without a NextStep profile are turned away at the desk.
How to register before the drive
- Go to TCS NextStep and register, or log in if you already have an account.
- Create your DT profile and make sure you select the BPS category – not IT. Registering under the wrong category is the second most common reason candidates are turned away.
- Complete the application form and note your reference number.
- Attend the venue on 16 September with your documents.
- More openings on our companies hiring freshers page.
Is this walk-in worth attending?
For a 2025 or 2026 commerce or arts graduate, yes. TCS BPS is one of very few large employers running open walk-ins for non-engineering graduates, there is no application fee, and a single morning gets you an aptitude test and an interview with a Tata company. Commerce graduates in particular have far fewer off-campus routes than engineers, and this is a real one.
Be realistic about the role on offer at the TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026, though. Back office data processing is transactional work, shifts can be nights, and TCS has published no salary figure for this drive – so we are not quoting one. Ask about CTC, shift allowance and the service agreement during the interview rather than after an offer letter arrives.
There is no fee to attend the TCS Pune Walk in Drive 2026, no fee to register on NextStep and no consultant who can guarantee you a TCS offer. If anyone asks you for payment for a referral, a slot, or “document processing” for this drive, it is a scam. Register only on the official NextStep portal linked above.

Wednesday, 16 September 2026, from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM at A1 Building, Audi, Zone 2, Gate-1, Tata Consultancy Services, Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, Hinjewadi Phase 3, Pune – 411057.
Is this drive for freshers only?
No. The official TCS creative states 0 to 6 months of experience, so candidates with a short work stint are eligible. The “freshers only” line comes from a circulating text version, not the TCS poster.

Which streams are accepted?
Full-time BCom, BA, BBA, BBM, BMS, BAF, BBI and B.Sc, excluding B.Sc Computer Science and B.Sc IT, from the 2025 and 2026 batches.
