Very basic knowledge and skills required to crack in Round 1 and you can look for TCS frequently asked question in google so that it helps you clear Round 1 easily as the questions are repeated most of time.
Be careful, they have negative marking for each wrong answers you attend of MCQ Type Questions and no negative marking for fill in the blanks type Questions.
