Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: First was the verbal section.You have to use the words and phrases given to write an email or letter or else given.Take care about the grammatical errors.Take 3-4 minutes to think and then write it fast.Minimum word limit is given.Follow the format of the thing you are given to write.
Analytical section comprised of 30 questions.Well the questions were difficult than previous years but some were too easy also.If you have prepared for aptitude then that's well but if then don't panic.Maximum Questions can be solved just by using your brain.

Main Topics to concentrate more for aptitude:
1. Work and Time
2. Profit and Loss
3. Permutation and Combinations.
4. Geometry

Some sample questions like :
1. In a given triangle ABC, AB=17.5, AC=9. D is a point on BC such that AD is perpendicular to BC. Find the radius of the circle circumstanding in the triangle ABC. (I am not sure about the exact number but the approach is to use Pythagoras theorem to find AD so that we can find the radius)
2. Find the next number in a given pattern ( series type question) ( Some AP sequence was given)
3. Three unit circle inscribed in a circle. Find the area of the largest circle. (some measurement was given and its easy to solve. Please spend some time to learn Geometry section)
4. Some questions based on men and work type (wages calculation questions and its easy)
5. Find last two digits of ( a^b) + (c^d)
eg : (1021^3921)+ (3081^3921)
6. Sum of three digit number is 17. sum of squared of digits of the given numbers is 109. If we subtract 495 from that numbers we will get a number written in square order. Find the numbers.
Duration: 90 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Interview will be of 2 or 3 rounds depending upon the quantity of candidates. We had two rounds.
First was mixture of HR and Technical. Tell him the programming language which you are strong in a diplomatic manner when asked. They will ask you questions from that part only. Don’t say what you can't answer.
I said Java and C and they asked questions from that part only.

2nd round was just a time pass. They read my resume and asked my achievement in life.It can be personal or professional. That's over with interviews.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test wasn't too difficult but needed presence of mind. No extraordinary formulae or tricks needed.
Tips: Manage your time carefully. Many students failed to do well because they could not attempt all sections to their best.
Trust your instincts.
Duration: 45 minutes
Total Questions: 40

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The discussion period seemed a bit too long and the whole group(8 people) was running out of ideas to keep the GD going. So everyone tried to iteratively speak on the same aspects of the topic. The people who explored different dimensions of the topic and were able to present it adequately made it through.
Tips: Try being a leader and sway the GD on your whims.
Keep exploring the current topics so that you are not left hapless on hearing the topic. This is just a preventive measure.
Try exploring new dimensions of the given topic and prevent the discussion from becoming monotonous.
Duration: 20 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview was a little longer than expected. The interviewer was really polite and supportive and the questions were not meant to undermine you. They wanted to check the logical and practical knowledge.
Tips: Stay confident.
Do not try to beat around the bush. Be blunt if you do not know something.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This interview basically extracted everything about me and being conducted through Skype, it was something of a new experience.
Tips: Stay confident at all times (which I apparently lost a couple of times and was pointed out).

Skill Tips: Have perfect preparation with at least two subjects of the core domain.
Skills: Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer
College Name: NIT Jalandhar
Motivation: I always wanted to be a part of a core company due to my interest in technical field which mostly developed after I took up Chemical Engineering.
Funny Moments: After the second round(cross panelling) of technical interview (which I hadn't expected because I thought the interview didn't have a second round), I realized I had spoken way more than required in the interview and maybe sounded way too nervous in the interview. Thats when the interviewers talked amongst themselves and one of them went on to saying" Yaar ye ladka bhot bolta hai"( This guy speaks a lot). Thats when I became a little conscious that I had even interrupted the interviewer a couple of times. Not too funny but yeah one of the few lighter moments.

4 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: In the first round there was an online test. Questions were from aptitude, general English and a simple code( very simple if you have programming skills).
Tips: It was purely a knowledge based round so everything depends on your preparation level and a bit confidence.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In technical round interview the process was like this...
I entered in room and greeted interviewer and he asked me to sit down. I handed over my resume to him. His first question was tell me about yourself. Then my projects. After that he came on programming, He asked me very basic concept about C++. Questions were like what is polymorphism, What is encapsulation. He also asked program of fibonacci series. After all these question he again looked at my resume and asked me 'why your CGPA is low?' I said that when i was in my first year i had interest in electronics but later when i encountered with programming i decided to have my career in this field so i could not concentrate on my core subjects.
Tips: C++ is '''''must''''' for Virtusa if you are from electronics . I didn't know data structure but c++ was on my fingers. Answer question with confidence.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: HR interview was really cool. Interview asked me about myself, my family, real life applications of my project. After that he came on real stuff. He asked question like why do you want to join virtusa? I said virtusa is this .. virtusa is this.....and many more..and in last i said this is i want to join virtusa. Next question was ' what do think about dowry?'. At first i was surprised to hear this question but i realized that interview only want to check my ability to speak on random topic. I answered the question by criticizing dowry and he was pleased to hear my answer. After one or two general HR question like location preference , he told me that your interview is over please wait outside for result. It was really nice to meet you . Thank you.
Tips: Never stop speaking in HR interview. They only check your ability to speak on random topics and their general HR question. I was continuously speaking ...please do not bother about grammar while speaking ...just speak with confidence(relevant).

General Tips: prepare c , c++ and ability to speak in front of interviewer.
