Exam was conducted on Co-Cubes platform.
In verbal few antonyms, arrangement of sentences, suitable words, sentence with same meaning and finally paragraph questions.
In Quant questions were based on general quant topics like profit and loss, simplifications, time and work , trains. There were few questions on LR which were quite easy.
In programming , one was on Dynamic Programming and the other one a bit tricky which includes no extra space and everything to be done in-place.
Q1) Given an array a[5] = {1,2,3,4,5} find out the total number of triplets such that they form the sides of a triangle . (Ex {3,4,5} Here 3+4 > 5 , 4+5 > 3 , 5+3 >4 )
Q2) Given a matrix with 1's and 0's. Modify it such that if a[i][j] == 1;
then make i'th row and j'th column all 1's.

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: 20 English questions
Rest of the 40 were quant.
There was a severe shortage of time in this test. English was a piece of cake but the rest of the questions were pretty time consuming.
Tips: Its better to finish those questions first which aren't time consuming.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 60
Round: Test
Experience: There was one three mark question and two five mark questions.
The three marker was either on linked list or array sorting.
The second question was based on dynamic programming.
The third question was on algorithms and number theory. Eg. My question was to find the units digit in a^b.
You could code in C,C++, Java or C#
Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes
Total Questions: 3
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: It wasn't exactly a group discussion. It was more of extempore. We were given ten minutes to note down points on the topic and each of us had to speak for two minutes. And then at the end there was a brief discussion on the arguments.
Tips: Don't start making philosophical arguments. You are expected to give technical arguments and reasons.
Don't contradict yourself ever. Make your stand on the topic clear and stick to it.
Don't cut off people in the middle. Hear them out.
It's not about who is speaking the most. It's about who is most effective.
