How to complete a course
In order to complete a course in Aspire TCS, all the chapters within it must be completed. Each chapter contains sub-topics. After each chapter, one chapter quiz with 40 multiple-choice questions must be cleared. In order to unlock “Course Completion Quiz”, one must complete all chapter quizzes of that particular tcs aspire course. At the end of sub-topic, “Ask Doubts” section is provided to clear your doubts if any.
To pass each chapter, two attempts are given. The second attempt is available only if you are not able to clear a quiz in the first attempt. However the scores assigned per answer in the second attempt is lesser than that in the first. If you are unable to clear a quiz in the second attempt also, the next module is automatically unlocked but miles earned in that quiz won’t be counted.

Thanks in advance 🙂
That's good to hear. Freshers don't have much choice in TCS. You need to carry on with whatever stream or project you get. Keep learning and doing your best as there are many factors involved in.
Sir,
is the questions directly( from the materials provided by tcs) or indirect?
Some questions are direct and some are indirect.
how many times, i can reset the courses?
You get reset the course once only during one batching time. But when your aspire is unlocked for next batching, you can reset courses again.
Do we have a RESET option for EIS mapped students also or is it only for IT/ITIS?
Reset option is available for both EIS and IT/ITIS students.
plz help me. m in huge problem ..give me a way to solve this reset problem. it happened all of a sudden and i had to do it as tomorrow aspire will be locked. my score were 3860 n i never wanted to reset but it happened and now my score is 3694. please give me a solution to correct it.
There is no way to solve this. You have to stay with same score.
However once aspire is unlocked again, you can reset it again and try to score more on that module.
Sorry 🙁 This is not possible. You can't undo that action.

Sir, i have reset my modules to get a better score. Hence to improve my score i attempted few quizzes as second attempt by willingly failing the first attempt. I got a better score in each quiz too. But now when i calculated there is a difference of 200 in the total miles and the score i have obtained. Please tell me how this happened ? Dont we get the same number of miles as the score obtained ?
In first attempt you will get same miles but in second attempt some miles are deducted as you failed in first attempt.
what score is deducted from the final score if we do the same I mean if we willingly failed in the first attempt just to gain a good score in the second attempt??? any idea?
What will happen if one is not able to get the required rank for batching before the last batching deadline of aspire (for 2015 freshers)?
i haven't gave aspire but still i am getting bipm tech loungue icon.. and i haven;t received the joining letter yet.. i mailed ilp support but no reply.. any help is appreciatable
