This repository is a study guide for the TCS IPA exam, a performance based test that Tata Consultancy Services gives to its associates. The exam covers several sections: Java coding, Java multiple choice questions, SQL and PL SQL, Unix and Linux commands, front end web basics, a section about TCS company knowledge called KYT, and a business communication skills section. The README notes that the 35 mark Java question is always an object oriented programming problem, and that learning its general pattern is one of the most valuable things a candidate can do to prepare. The repository is organized into numbered folders, one for each exam section, each containing a written study guide focused specifically on IPA style questions rather than generic textbook material. A separate Java coding folder holds complete guides for both the 35 mark and 15 mark coding sections, plus a set of ten files that group foundational Java programs by topic, covering basics and input and output, operators, loops and functions, arrays, strings, object oriented programming, and various string and number problem patterns. A dedicated IPA-Questions folder consolidates real past exam problems, organized in numbered subfolders from IPA1 through IPA55, where each problem includes both the original problem statement as a text file and a working Java solution. The repository also includes over sixty standalone Java practice programs and a set of Day 1 through Day 29 folders that mirror a twenty nine day structured study plan, each containing the concept programs and IPA questions practiced on that day. A suggested study schedule table maps specific days to specific topics, moving from Java basics through object oriented programming, string and number patterns, SQL, Unix, and a final timed mock exam.
