🎯 TCS iON NQT 2026-27: National Qualifier Test
Eligibility, Exam Pattern, Salary (Up to ₹19 LPA), Registration & Preparation Tips
📌 Quick Summary
The TCS iON National Qualifier
Test (NQT) is a single entry-level hiring test that lets you apply to many
companies with one score. You can be tested on aptitude skills, domain-specific
skills or work values, and the scorecard shows your result in each section. You
then use that score to apply to companies that accept it, so you don’t have to
write a separate test for each recruiter. tcsion

💰 Expected Salary After NQT
The salary depends on the company
and role you land with your score, not on the test itself. TCS iON’s own
figures are:
·
💻 IT
roles: about 3 LPA to 8 LPA
·
🏦 BFSI
roles: about 2.5 LPA to 11 LPA
·
🏆 Highest
package listed: 19 LPA
Placement examples shown on the
page include these:
·
🔸 19
LPA for a Member of Technical Staff (SW) at NetApp
·
🔸 8
LPA for roles such as Software Developer and Programmer Analyst
·
🔸 6.5
to 7 LPA for roles such as Systems Engineer (TCS Digital) and Full Stack
Developer
·
🔸 3
to 4.5 LPA for trainee, support and business development roles
✅ My estimate: Most freshers
should expect roughly ₹3
LPA to ₹8
LPA, with the higher end reserved for
strong scores and strong interview performance. TCS iON states that each
company sets its own eligibility and selection criteria on top of the NQT
score, and the success stories are selected examples, so treat them as the
upper end, not the norm.
