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.

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.
