3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Two rounds of GD. (30 minutes)"Morality is the creation of the weak to suppress the strong"More of an argument/debate with 2 groups. They want you to argue and point out why they should prefer one group over the other.They look for people with good communication skills, articulate effectively and drive home your points, how you analyze a situation, spontaneity etc.
Round: Interview
Experience: One HR interview: (10-15 minutes)They might ask for details regarding your projects, if they are relevant to the profileThe interview was more of a formality than a selection round. They give more weightage to the GD
Tips: LAN has a plethora of books on prep for interviews. Be prepared for common questions.Every non-core company asks more or less the same questionsThey also test your basic coding skills (C, MATLAB)Try to revise some basic core courses. Also go through some interview preparation books available on LAN. You can also look up on net for most commonly asked questions while recruiting by any particular company
General Tips: In case you haven't set your eyes on any of the day1-2 companies, or any other core companies in particular, be warned: Programming skills are a must. It‟s quite frustrating to see that almost every other company looks for a programmer and you'd be competing with CS guys for the profile

I didnt answer all the questions. For questions which I dont know I immediately agreed that I have no knowledge in that.
Tips: Answer confidently. Confidence level will really have a lot of effect in interviews.
Students with any sort of programming experience (intern, project..etc) can get selected easily.
General Tips: Following will help to get placed in a very good software profile
1) Data Structure and Algorithms course
2) Practice in any one coding language. Many websites are available for practice(hackerrank.com,codechef.com ..etc). Questions in interviews will be similar to the questions in these websites.
