5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Aptitude part was pretty straightforward. Make sure you don't loose too much time on one question. Most of the questions were very easy. Number series, men working hours, probability and simple math calculations are enough to crack the test.
Coding part will definitely have one easy question (mostly will be on sorting algos). Basic coding knowledge is enough for this part.
Tips: Aptitude : Speed is the key. Since questions are easy, one who gets more than others will be shortlistled for the Interviews.
Coding: Make sure you solve atleast 1 problem correctly. And then try to attempt others.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 28
Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: They also asked basic interview hr questions. Be prepared with your stories. If One of your story can make you look out of the stand, it will definitely work for this round. Strengths, weakness and where do you see yourself after 5 years.
Tips: Be confident. And be ready to defend your answers.
Skills: Math Puzzles, Algorithms And Data Structures, HR Skills, Inter Person Communication Skills

5 Interview Rounds
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

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: There were total 10 multiple choice questions and 4 subjective questions.
The MCQ's were based on Probability and expectation.
The descriptive were based on
1. Number Theory
2. Puzzle
3. Coding (Need not write compilable version but write a clear pseudo code).
4. Coding(Same as above).
Solve puzzles in heard on the street and day 1.0 book. Finish the course Data Structures and Algorithms.
Tips: Must correctly solve atleast 9 of the probability MCQ to ensure a final interview shortlist.
Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes
Total Questions: 14
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: He asks you write a pseudo code for the question asked. You must write a clear working algorithm. If you make small mistakes, he will try and correct you but huge algorithm errors can cost you the call for next round.Remember to give correct time complexities for the algorithm written. Be clear and try to explain your thinking process to the interviewer. If you are stuck, try to explain your idea and where you are stuck. He will help you move further. The whole interview lasted around 40-45 mins.
Tips: Maintaining communication with the interviewer is very important. Asked reason for low CGPA (mine was 7.94).
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: One o the question was - If you break a stick of unit length into two parts then what is the expected length of the longer part. A few others to calculate mean and standard deviations etc.
Tips: Must communicate with the interviewer and show him your arrival at the solution. They usually respond positively if you give them the correct answer. If you make a mistake, will give you a small hint to correct yourself but if you still make it, then you're out. If you are good with stochastic processes , then it would definitely increase your chances of progression.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Started with asking about favourite coding language. Chose Java , then asked basic questions like what is static class and what is it used for (OOPS concepts). Asked a few probability questions and then a few DSA questions.
Tips: Was bad in a section( I could not answer OOPS questions)but still gave me a chance again. If you recover from it and answer remaining correctly then you get to go to the HR round.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Telephonic interview and was asked few questions about myself like education, Family background, Why job instead of higher studies, why job in finance and specifically Quantitative research, future plans etc.
Tips: This was not really tough. The HR also tried to explain what the job was about. They confirmed the Job Offer within 5 minutes after the phone call ended.
