Round: Interview Experience: Questions from all CS subjects including coding Tips: They shortlisted 29 students for the final interviews on Day 1 Slot 1. There were 2 rounds of technical interview and 1 interview.
General Tips: Do’s 1) Start right from August 2) Prepare basics of subjects 3) Try to code using pen and paper 4) Code as many problems as you can from all domains with only 1 language (C/C++/Java) 5) Keep a friend with you at all times during interviews. If you are selected for more than 1 companies in 1 slot, ask your friend to manage your interview schedules given he knows your priorities. I was not in a position to attend more than 2 interviews in the same slot. Don’ts 1) Don’t lose hope if you are not shortlisted for your dream company or any company of your choice because being an IITian you have large number of better choices and which would fit in your profile better. 2) Don’t argue with the interviewers and never pretend that your are over smart in a given domain. 3) Do not take HR rounds lightly even if you are sitting for CS companies.
