8 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: They have very simple shortlisting criteria, CGPI>=7.0 in current degree course will get selected.
Tips: Maintain atleast 7.00 CGPI, Almost 60% of company have their criteria more than 7 or favor those who have 7. Let me explain what favor mean here. Google allows everbody to sit in their test but in the final interviews they have never/rarely selected a person with less then 8 CGPI. If you have higher CGPI then your chances is good.

Round: Test
Experience: There were no test for Edelweiss.
Tips: Tips for Other companies.
1: Do all the problems of www.leetcode.com.
2: Read C/C++ (or JAVA)/DS/ALGO very throughly. (Refer GeeksForGeeks.com)
3: You also have to read OS/DBMS and CN. Good number of questions will be asked from these subjects. No need to revised any other subjects.
4: Do some practice for Quantitative apptitude.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: There were no Group Discussion for Edelweiss.
Tips: Do not speak for the sake that you have to speak. If you have really something to say then only speak. If you are not aware of topics then do not be panic. Sit and listen to others and try to make some points and then speak.

Tips: If you have prepared Leetcode.com and GeeksforGeeks.com then I am 100% sure all the questions will be asked from their only. Its really rare to see a diffrent problem.

Round: Group Activity
Experience: There were no Group Activity for Edelweiss.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They asked very basic questions (at least for me). They asked a lots of questions from Projects. I think he wants to make sure that All the projects which i have mentioned in the resume are not fake.
He asked very detailed about the projects that what are the library and packages you have used in your projects and why you choosed those. He was very much interested in Projects.
Tips: 1: Do not write anything in resume which you do not know.
2: If you have done projects at android or ios then that will really help.
3: Be confident, Talk , like you are talking to a friend.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Again very basics questions. Tell me about yourself? Why you want to join this company? What in your goal? What is your strength and weakness? lab lab lab.
Tips: Again i will say same thing that do not take tension. Talk, like you are talking to a friend. Be friendly and gently. Give respect receive respect. See, no one will give anybody 1 lakh per month in India for being a slave. They want a collegue who work with them with equal intensity.
