3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: My Final Year Thesis was on Data Analytics which was a big plus. I was asked general questions on the aim of my project and how can I sell it to the concerned persons. It was a short interview of about 15-20 mins.
I told the interviewer that 5-10 degree would be the angle at which the plane will be descending but he forced that it is too less. Having seen a lot of air crash investigations, I was sure about it and confidently proved that 5-10 degrees is good enough by assuming the altitude at which the plane flies.
Tips: Practice Guessestimates. Be confident on what you say. You should be thorough with every point written on your resume.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: It wasn't hard to convince him about going for Job instead of MS/MBA. No such difficulty in answering the questions put forth by the interviewer.
Skills: Confidence, Knowledge of Analytics

Round: Test
Experience: The second round was a test of your coding ability, again basic C++ questions, which could be solved easily with some practice of competitive coding.
