I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

I'm sorry you feel that way. Depending on the company, you might be expected to complete a set of orientation videos etc. If thats out of the wayn, you can share that youre on low utilization / have capacity for work. take initiative!
Ask them for work. If they don’t have any for you, ask if you can help others. Ask if there’s training you should be doing. Set up (at a minimum) a weekly call or meeting to get caught up and get your workload for the week. If you don’t know what you’re doing, are there other CAD Techs you could ask for help?
I was thrown right into the fire when I started my CAD position and was in a similar position as you - boss was never around. You have to take the initiative or you’ll sink.
Go around to the engineers in the building and ask them if they have any markups or cad work (make the rounds). At least ask if you can take a look at a set of plans from a recent project so you can familiarize yourself with the look of the product you will be expected to produce. If you find engineers in your building who have work, you can keep going back to them. Be sure you keep track of the project numbers and how much time you spent on each project. You have to get up and go get work. You can’t sit there and expect it to come to you. Sorry your manager sucks, but that just puts more of the responsibility on you to be a go getter and self starter.
They will give you a project when they come up. Ask HR if there are training videos while you wait. Ask other CAD or EIT if they need help. Introduce yourself around the office and ask people if they need help. Don’t forget to get a job number for billing time.
