Hey there dude,
So my first through on seeing your profile is that: it's good but normal. And that's the FIRST thing you need to think about - how do you propel your profile AWAY from normal and into unique and exceptional? To have the most effective application, what you will need to do is show how you are unique. I just read an estimation of TCS's workforce size at about 200,000!!!!! So you are gonna have to not just DIFFERENT but also BETTER than those 199,999 other guys
and how can you do that? From here on in, THAT is your number one mission.
Overall, it depends on your stories and extra curriculars and recommendations and achievements, but I'd say that you could apply somewhere in the 10-30 range. I know it's a relatively big range, but it's a bit hard to say without lots and lots more detail.
I hope this helps and wish you all the best,
JF
