Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The company came to our campus on day 3 and agreed to take walk-ins.
Therefore resume shortlisting was the procedure.
They had a cut off of 7 CGPA.
Tips: It would be good if you have some coding background with few projects. It could anything from class projects to your internships, extra-curricular or final year projects. Don't forget to mention what all programming language you know on your resume.
Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: The first round consists of two panels. One of them was asking HR. And the other was asking technical questions. They were just looking whether you have the basic technical knowledge and if given an offer you will join or not.
Tips: For technical knowledge, you can refer OOPs basic concepts, standard coding interview problems, geeksforgeeks, cracking the coding interview by Laxman Gayle etc. It would be better if you can first practice hr questions among your friends instead of going directly to interview. I found a youtube channel explains technical relatively easier and simpler way. you can follow that. Just try to show that you are interested in that company.
For HR questions, one can prepare from 64 HR questions.
For the basic OOPs concepts, one can read first 10 chapters from E.Balaguruswamy but any other OOPs book will also be fine.
Confidence is the key ace any interview!!
Round: HR Interview
Experience: This round was mainly to check your personality. He was trying to know whether you will fit in the company or not. Most of the question was from my personal life. They will see whether you are serious about your life or not.
Tips: Be ready to give them instances of your life where you did things differently. Try to show that you are passionate about the company. Try to show you have a clear vision in your life and working hard to achieve that.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: This round was just a formality. The HR from the second round interview introduced me to the third interviewer. He asked few question related to the family.
Tips: One important thing I would like to is that NEVER ASSUME THAT WHATEVER YOU TOLD TO YOUR PREVIOUS INTERVIEWER WILL BE KNOWN TO THE NEXT INTERVIEW. So, if you think some specific points will help you do good in an interview...just let him know. I could be anything your project, conference, paper presentation or your past life as well.
Skills: Programming, Object Oriented Programming (OOP) Basics, Team Working Ability, Passion, Data Strrutures, Algorithm

2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: Questions are asked based exclusively on what is told about oneself. A good picture of one's skill sets and reasons for wanting the job is recommended. Depending on the extent to which one presents oneself as technically knowledgeable, one should make it apparent; and at the same time, acknowledge the limits of one's knowledge. In the case in point here, I was asked technical question from their written test for a higher job profile.
Tips: Be candid on thoughts for taking up the job, and give them a reason to notice you in particular.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Strong emphasis on the consistency and composure of the candidate. Good to stay focused on the points brought up and provide a coherent big picture incorporating those. Confidence and optimism would help in projecting the right attitude. Give answers that directly address the questions asked. In my case, I was pressingly asked the reason for wanting to take this job up, with a background in physics and a weak one in coding.
Tips: Be firm, confident and composed, and directly address the questions asked.
Skills: Inter Person Communication Skills, Technical Skill And Speaking Skill
