Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The Aptitude test consisted of 60 questions to be completed in a duration of 60 minutes. The questions were very simple and the key here was to be quick in solving puzzles and problem solving. Next, there was an online coding round which consisted of 3 questions to be completed in a duration of 60 minutes. The questions here were also very basic including topics from pointers and strings. Overall, the test was easy to crack and didn't need any prior preparation.
Tips: Just practice some aptitude tests online. Also, be thorough with the basics of pointers and strings for the coding round.
Duration: 120 minutes
Total Questions: 63
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The group discussion was totally driven by the hiring team. They chose the speaker and went through each of us one by one. It was a pretty short Group discussion.
Tips: Just listen to everyones points and keep noting your arguments down. If you are chosen to start the GD, then you will be most probably chosen to conclude it too. So, try to take everybody's opinions and shape a precise and to-the-point conclusion.
Duration: 15 minutes
General Tips: Just be cool throughout the process. It has nothing that can be prepared for.
Skill Tips: Practice. Practice. Practice.
Skills: Basic Coding, General Aptitude

College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: The projects described in the Internship description were quite interesting.
Funny Moments: Got selected without a single interview! That's partly disappointing since we didn't get to discuss our intern profiles with them. It's funny that such a huge company can hire interns without even having an interview. It's not funny though.
