3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: Shortlist was based on the test performance (CAT based) and resume. Round 1: Two interviews (back to back). The first interviewer gave me a puzzle on probability. I tried my hand for 15 mins but couldn’t figure out. That was the whole interview (I later figured out that the puzzle involved probability distribution functions!). The second interview was a puzzle + HR interview. I was grilled upon some points from my CV and was tested upon my team gelling skills. A case(topic) “Should India go for nuclear energy” was discussed.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Round 2: Two interviews (back to back). Both the interviews were aimed at testing analytical skills though puzzles (most of the puzzles were repeated, it’s a better idea to be honest). A few HR questions on the basis of feedback from previous interviews were asked
Tips: The interviewer was quite impressed by my analytical skills but he doubted my skills to work in a team. The mistake I committed was not able to portray my thoughts clearly.

7 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: CAT based aptitude test. Requirement of clearing all sectional cutoffs.
Round: Guesstimate Interview
Experience: b) Four rounds of interviews:
a. First round guesstimate: Chances of winning a lottery in a jet airways scheme: Every passenger flying during a week fills out a coupon and submits it for a draw; you fly four times a week. Guesstimate involved guessing the total no. of flight passenger for jet airways in a month
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: b. Two puzzles: i. A lady leaves from her home in a car and picks up her husband from his office everyday at 5pm. One day, the husband gets free a bit early and starts walking towards the home. He meets his wife in the way and they together ride back in the car to their home. They reach 10 minutes earlier than ususal.At what time did the two meet? (Ans : 4:55 pm) ii. If Maria Sharapova won 6-3 against Justin Henin Hardene in the first set which involved 5 service breaks. Then who served first? (Ans: Maria Sharapova
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: c. Case study: A customer care center in Europe for a mobile company is working much less efficiently (30% more expenditure for the same no. of requests handled) than that in Britain, What could be reason? Questions to be asked. i. Difference in salary per person (Ans. 5%) ii. Difference in Call charges (Ans. 10%) iii. Difference in no. of employees. (Ans. Not relevant) iv. Automated response for regular requests like balance etc. (Ans. Not present in Europe. Causes 15% more expenditure, case solved!!!)
Round: HR Interview
Experience: HR based interview: i. Why Inductis? ii. Expected Cat scores?. Why not MBA? iii. Response in a leadership position to your superior when someone under you has not performed? iv. Team leadership instance v. How would your friend describe you? 2. Your key learning from these experiences? What mistakes did you commit? Key learning a) Its important to prepare for as many HR questions as possible in advance. The more you prepare the better you will be able to answer even the most unexpected questions. b) Every point on your resume should be elaborated in your mind so that you can speak on about 15-20 minutes on it highlighting specifics of the task, the problems faced, innovations used and results. c) It's important to be relaxed during an interview and treat it as a conversation. Even the most difficult problems can be solved if you keep your cool. d) Read about the company in advance. Especially its culture and values. Identify what the company is looking for. Incorporate it intelligently in the answers that you give.
General Tips: Mistakes committed.
a) Low level of preparation for some points in resume. Didn't expect interviewer (P&G) to spend 25 min. on the school captain point which was not well prepared.
b) Silly mistake while solving Capital One Case study.(Later avoided it by thinking aloud)
Keep your level of enthusiasm in the interview high. Companies like students with high levels of energy. Excitement alone about the company can land you a job!!!
b) Keep two copies of resume, a pen and sheets of blank paper with you for all the interviews.
c) Dress for the company. Do not overdress. Suits look fine for an IB job but not for a simple technical job. d) Always greet the interviewer in a warm way.

Interview Questions
- Q1. What about CAT?
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: A puzzle where they wanted to check my approach. And the rest was mostly about stuff from my resume.
Tips: Be thorough with whatever you have mentioned on your resume. If your resume says you like playing squash for instance. You should know the basics of the game atleast. And if you know the court size, the different types of squash balls, world famous players of the sport, etc, it helps.
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: Again a puzzle and normal resume based interview. After the first 2 interviews I was pretty sure of getting through to the next round.
And so I did.
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: I was asked some stuff about my start-up which I had mentioned. I had to defend myself and assure them that I did want to join Inductis. It was not a very good interview for me, I guess was somewhere on the border.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: It went fine. The last 2 interviews placed me on the edge of getting selected or not selected in the
company. And therefore, an extra interview was called for.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: Puzzle and more of a conversation where the interviewer wanted to make sure if I will join their company or no. Somehow managed to dodge them through to get a final selection.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: HR Interview
Experience: My 3rd company was Inductis. I gave 4 rounds of interviews for this company. In every round they asked me a puzzle and 1-2 HR question. In my first 2 rounds I successfully did my puzzle. Most of the puzzles asked can be easily found on internet. In my third round, I was not able to do the puzzle. It was a very complicated puzzle. And in my fourth round I successfully did my puzzle. Actually these people actually don't expect you to solve the puzzle completely in 10- 15 min they give you. They just want to see your thinking process. The mistake I made was that when I was not able to solve puzzle, I got nervous and didn't said a word for 10 minutes.
