Steps
Check the current TCS NQT pattern first. Confirm the word limit and time allowed for the email question, since these can change between test cycles.
Read the prompt and note the four Ws: who you are writing to, what the matter is, why you are writing and when it needs action. Add how you want them to respond.
Open with a formal greeting such as Dear Sir or Dear Madam, or use the name given in the prompt. Do not use casual greetings like Hi or Hey.
Write one short opening line stating your purpose, for example: I am writing to request three days of leave from 12 to 14 August.
Add one or two body sentences with the key details: dates, order numbers, names or reasons. Keep each sentence short and factual.
Close with a clear request or next step, such as: Kindly confirm receipt of this request at your earliest convenience.
End with a formal sign-off like Yours sincerely or Regards, then your name. Skip slang, emojis and contractions like don't or can't.
Count the words and trim any sentence that repeats information. Stay within the limit the test gives you.
Reread once for spelling, capital letters and subject line. A missing subject line or wrong salutation costs easy marks.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the subject line short and specific, such as Leave Request for 12 to 14 August.
Do not copy long phrases from the prompt; rephrase them in your own words.
Leave two minutes at the end to check grammar and word count instead of writing until the timer stops.
Practice with a timer so you can finish a full email in the exam time limit.
Questions
How long should the email be in TCS NQT?
Follow the word limit stated in your exam instructions, since the pattern can change. Aim for a short email of a few sentences that covers the purpose, details and a clear closing request.
Should I use a subject line?
Yes. A short, specific subject line is part of a professional email and helps the reader know the purpose before opening it.
What are common mistakes to avoid?
Casual greetings, slang, missing sign-off, going over the word limit and repeating the same point in several sentences are the usual mark losers.
