23. A psychometric question, If your colleague who is a very close friend, is not following the code and conduct of the firm. What would you do, Whether you will report to the higher officials or not(Reporting to higher officials would break the friendship bond)?

I was interviewed before May 2016.

3 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: They had opened a portal for submitting resumes sometime in November-December. I submitted mine and waited for around 2-3 months till I finally got a call for interview in February.
Tips: Make sure your research projects are well highlighted in your resume.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: General algorithmic coding questions followed by a discussion of my resume. From the discussion I got a sense that they had segregated the candidates for specific projects and the questions were asked about the skills required for the project. However, this wasn't very rigid as my project was changed once I was selected for the internship since my profile was better suited to a different project.
