1 Interview Round

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Procedure - Interview first round @ IIT, second round – telephonic interview from Taiwan
Tips: My experience : - after first round selection they were supposed to call for telephonic interview, but they did not call me up for the best reasons known to them. But no one is complaining.

General Tips: My preparation for software companies was not up to the mark. My advice to the M.Tech students with Science backgrounds are  (i) Please do not expect a core company to hire you. Software companies are the only choice   (ii) Hence prepare well in advance the following topics this was not known to me earlier. (a) STRONG C & C++ LANGUAGE SKILLS   (b) EMPHASIS ON DATA STRUCTURES --- linked lists, trees, queue, post-order traversal, pre-order traversal.

Experience: I've gone through some model resumes available in freshersworld.com.

Experience: There were three rounds- Written, Technical & HR   Out of 100 students 20 students are selected for Tech & HR round after written test.   But finally 7 students were made final offers.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: In interview they asked-   what do u mean by quality, array, pointer, data structures etc . Hr questions, they asked  (i) why u r interested in joining our company this is a standard question..   (ii)Why u r leaving ur core branch and joining software company, r u doing any justice to ur studies??   (iii) Since I was married, in most of the HR rounds they are a bit cynical, my advice to married people, if u r prompted to tell abt ur maritial status, then tell otherwise not.
Tips: HR Questions- I've gone through the last year BE PREPARED  document.   Puzzles- R.S Agarwal   Technical- For Core subjects not needed but for software companies strong language skills are important.

General Tips: My preparation for software companies was not up to the mark. My advice to the M.Tech students with Science backgrounds are  (i) Please do not expect a core company to hire you .Software companies are the only choice   (ii) Hence prepare well in advance the following topics this was not known to me  (a) STRONG C & C++ LANGUAGE SKILLS   (b) EMPHASIS ON DATA STRUCTURES --- linked lists, trees, queue, post-order traversal, pre-order traversal.

3 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: First a technical test, then 1 round of technical interview, then a very interesting group activity (I enjoyed that the most) and one more technical interview and then a HR interview – shortlist after each of these.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Lets not talk about the technical interview its like any other technical interview about C++. But the interesting part was the group activity in which we were divided in group of 6/7 and given a packet of straws we had to come up with some idea to build something and then promote our product with a picture presentation in 45-50 minutes. Interviews were watching the groups.

4 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Used some old resumes sent by placement team/collected from seniors and batch mates to prepare a basic resume & ; then showed it to friends who edited, re-edited it. Still I feel I should have shown it to more number of friends and seniors who are already in job.

Round: Test
Experience: IT & a technical test with different selection criteria for the 2 positions they had, then a technical (with a little bit of HR) interview completely based on the test paper (resume was not even seen). Anyways then interview (more of HR kind) taken by the director himself. And then the offer letter! :D There are 100 statements  nth statement saying Exactly n statements are true.  Which one statement is true? Science questions like ; how does lightening happens?! Probability  In a pistol 2 bullets are there one after the other, you fire once  nothing happens. Now which situation will have lesser probability of having a shot in next fire, the one where you shuffle the pistol before firing or the one where you do not? The idea was to test the stress you while solving these questions.

General Tips: My major interviews have been with IT companies  just sharpen your C++ before you sit for these companies. You should not just be knowing coding but also have good command over its theory which we generally ignore while coding.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I have gone through 3 interviews and before that I have given a written test which constitutes Quantitative Ability, Logical Reasoning, Verbal reasoning, Data Interpretation. I was asked to give a 5-minute presentation on my strategy to increase the sales of the motorbikes. In my second Interview I was asked to explain about my MTP.   The third was the HR Interview and he asked about personal details.   Then I was told that, the job-profile is not matching and I got shortlisted to give a video-conference interview. In that they asked me some simple C-Questions. I don know even now, why they have not selected me.

4 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Firstly, I myself had prepared a rough draft of Abstract and then I sat along with my friends and we made it look better with some kind of modifications. Also, prior to this I have attended a workshop- & Abstract Writing.

Round: Test
Experience: You are supposed to give two written tests: one will be on Aptitude and the other will be a technical test(C-Questions)   Nearly 25 students gave the tests. 6 got shorlisted for the Interviews. 2 got Final offers.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Mine was a typical Interview as far as I am concerned. I was asked to solve the unsolved puzzles from the written test. Fortunately, I answered two out of two and I think that was the turning point for me.   Also, he asked me to write a C-program for the Fabonacci series. And asked some questions related to Data structures in C. But he had not asked to write programs for Data Stuctures. Only, you are supposed to know the concept.   Then, he asked me to explain my MTP in great detail. I explained him for about 15 minutes.   The whole Interview went for about 40-45 minutes.

General Tips: He should practice puzzles, any quantitative ability book and you should be damn perfect in C-language.   Time is not sufficient for you to solve the whole paper. But, it is enough for you to get shortlisted to the next stage (Interview) if you solve more than 70% perfectly.
