Any TCS manager? Need some insights.
My current CTC 13 lpa/8 YOE, Python developer. Im selected for TCS, i told expected 25 lpa, she told we can give max 19 lpa, i told i have to think, she cut call, next day she told to join call to take screenshot with ID. It's been a week, they didn't send CTC break up, status is "evaluation in progress". They rejected me? Can I expect offer? TIA Tata Consultancy

(based on my recent experience alone)
R1 was relatively more direct and the cases were pretty standard.
R2 cases would be things that the Partner/Principal worked on themselves and they made the case. More vague problem statement but the general mechanics remain the same.
Higher focus on the fit part as well.
So, there’s 3 rounds:
Round 1: computer nonsense case + math test etc.
Round 2: this is where PLs/Principals/Partners do case interviews with you. Cases are all from our own portfolio and are real world.
Round 3 or DR: this where the MDPs case you + fit (less case more fit - the expect the first round to weed out poor case folks already)
For me, your items 1 and 2 were the same day so one "round"
