Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The first round was the tech round in which firstly I was asked about things on my resume (e.g. I had done a course in Embedded Systems, so the interviewer asked me in which language I was made to code etc.) If I have 1 to 10 numbers in an array and if one of the numbers is missing then how will you find out which one is the missing number? ( The answer is that you have to add all the numbers in an array and then compare the sum with the expected one. The difference between the two is the missing number) Puzzle: If 3 ants are travelling along the sides of a triangle only in one specific direction then what’s the probability that the ants don’t collide.?( Don’t remember exactly, so refer to the same book mentioned above for the question as well as the solution Design a lift with minimum amount of inconvenience on the part of user. ( The answer is—You should divide the total no. of floors in even floors and odd floors and then design )
Tips: Special tip: Please go through as many puzzles as you can from How to ace... book. Also there is an app called water logic which might be useful

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Puzzle: there are 3 baskets, one has only oranges the second one has only apples and the third one has both oranges and apples. How many minimum fruits u need to take out to determine the content of all the baskets. You can take out only one fruit in one turn. Number pattern: write a program in any language to display the following number pattern (a kite shape full of numbers, requires some 3-4 loops)Basically I didn’t get all the answers right. But what they expected was to think logically and say whatever that comes to your mind so at least they can judge whether u are on the right track or not.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: This was the best round! The director took my interview. It eventually got converted into a technical round. He asked me almost the same questions about .Net. Then he asked me an easy puzzle. He asked me why I chose EXTC(because my resume is full of IT projects and achievements). I was quite honest to tell that I did a mistake while filling the form! And there were a couple of questions which I answered honestly which I guess he liked. So I think it is advisable to be true and honest. Then I was asked whether I have any questions. I asked about his career path. We spent more than half an hour discussing about his career path, he gave a lot of advice as well.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: He asked me about my family. He asked whether I have any post graduation plans. Then he asked something related to Credit Suisse and the pre-placement talk.
General Tips: They had shortlisted students who had aggregate above 75%. We were called directly in their office at Powai, Hiranandani. We didn’t have any aptitude test or GD, only 3 rounds of personal interview.

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: quants- There was no negative marking for any section and no verbal. It was fairly good and the questions were moderate. Enough Practice could get you decent attempts here. puzzles section-There were 7/8 puzzles in all and required a good deal of thinking. Ofcourse, if you had seen them before, they would be child's play! We were expected to write our logic and the answer to the puzzle. Go through loads of brainteaser puzzles online.coding section-There were 7 questions to be attempted. Either pseudo code or C worked fine though I mostly used C for that. The questions ranged from finding if a string was an anagram of another, distance between two hands of a clock, finding if a number is prime without using a function and the rest on data structures such as reversing a link list etc. I devoted around 40 50 minutes to this section and attempted 5 questions. Make sure that your logic is strong and write your logic in pseudo code even if you cannot form a proper code for it. Give it a shot! But DONT overdo it if you cant think of the logic. You aren't expected to know everything. I gave the test with a calm mind and wrote my logic and code according to what I felt right. It will be pretty easy if you are practicing regularly. I tried to be efficient wherever possible.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The technical round lasted around half an hour. It started with my experience in the FETS committee. This was followed by questions on my third year project. Know your project thoroughly and how it can be extended in future. Then there was an easy puzzle followed by a few questions on time complexity and data structures. I answered confidently even though the interviewers tried to confuse me but I stuck to my answers because I was sure. It matters! If you just cant think of a solution, then say you dont know. If you can, then think aloud so they may help you if you go wrong. Dont go in for a bluff else you will be grilled on that answer till you are proved wrong
Tips: Remember guys, you aren't expected to know everything. You should instead show your analytical and thinking skills. Be truthful. There's one thing Credit Suisse is known for. If they think you aint the right person, they'll let you know in a while and you wont be kept waiting. Plus, you move on to the next round immediately. That's what happened with me. I came out and walked into the waiting room with a relieved feeling of having not goofed up at any place. :D And then was informed that my next interview was in 5 minutes. Its at times like these that you have no idea whether to feel nervous or happy!
Round: Other Interview
Experience: the management round. Its a tech-cum-hour round with a senior person at CS. Surprisingly, I was asked only hour questions. I was told to be truthful and confident in this round. No need to explain why. I was asked questions like greatest strengths, weaknesses and why Credit Suisse? Non IT background people should be able to justify why they want to switch to IT. Ask meaningful questions yourself. It leaves a good impression. Then, I came out. Walked in the waiting room. And then the same thing happened. Next interview. Now. (This dint happen with everyone though. They were many who waited pretty much too while others were being interviewed!)
Round: HR Interview
Experience: It wasn't a surprise when I was asked the same questions. I was asked to justify a few qualities I was
good at. This means writing 'I am a good problem solver' in your resume when you cant even think of one instance where you solved a problem wont work :P. The interview went good and the HR did ask me what I had researched about the company. Given this chance, I promptly vomited everything I knew about CS.
General Tips: We realized that Credit Suisse does not entertain excuses related to relocating. APPLY ONLY IF YOU ARE READY TO RELOCATE IF THEY ASK YOU TO DO SO. The locations are Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore. Better to research the company you are applying for. It will count.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Make your resume neat and tidy, of length one page. Use the right words and make sure to get it checked by seniors. Orient your resume based on the profiles being offered. Highlight things like business plans, industry-defined problems, projects in optimisation and data modelling in your resume.This is because many companies have a so-called 'HOTLIST' of students that they definitely want to interview based on resume.
Round: Group Discussion
Tips: 3/4 people from each GD group were listed down on their hotlist based on their performance in the GD. Take mock GDs and build on your confidence. It is important to make clear points and not be very generic, along with not interfering while others are talking. Be polite as well as confident. Listen to others while the discussion is happening and be mindful of how you interact with people.Quoting instances may give you extra credits.
Round: HR Interview
Tips: There could be a third round after you're selected and they want to know more about you. Take mock interviews. Make sure you are honest throughout the interview stage. While talking about your weaknesses, make sure to tell them about how you're trying to overcome them. Firstly, have weaknesses to talk about!
