3 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Nothing out of the ordinary. Practice pays a lot. It felt good employing creative solutions.
Tips: Meditate an hour before the test, refrain from discussions and fretting over nervousness of yourself or others.
Be absolutely sure about your own assessment of test relevant ability, if you have put in effort beforehand, you will get results.
Aggression is good. Visualize yourself beating the test to breaking in all ways possible. 
To do it, you need to believe it.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I didn't let myself be intimidated. Maintained eye contact and answered their questions to the best of my ability, being firm and assertive without being arrogant and acknowledging shortcomings if there were any while providing fixes.
Discussed my projects in a way even the non technical HR people could understand.
Tips: People taking the interview are just humans in the end. Predictable. Manipulable. Readable. Deceived or convincable. Never forget that. Never let them get under your skin. Can be impressed if you try hard enough, after all, that is the goal. Convincing them that you are the best investment for their company's money.
Though I mentioned deception, you should try to stay honest and firm, confident in your skills. Lesser loopholes to worry about, more sincere is your confidence.
Never show any sign of a weakness unless explicitly asked, even then only discuss something which you have conquered.

General Tips: Be calm and confident. I can't stress that enough.
Dress well. 
Aim to leave an impression on anybody you encounter.
Skill Tips: You don't need to play by the rules if you want to make them like you. Avoid generic answers. Be clever, but intuitive, it shouldn't come off as something out of print. Be original and creative.
Skills: Confidence, Assertiveness, Ability to cope up with stress, Creativity, Communication, Problem Solving, Reasoning

3 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: There were 2 separate tests of 45 minutes each. 
The first one was objective test with 15 questions from topics such as probability, PnC, Geometry and general aptitude. The questions were easy but accuracy was the main part. 7 or 8 was the cutoff in this section.
The next one was the subjective test of duration 45 minutes and had 5 questions. The questions were again from PnC, geometry, series and 2 questions based on general aptitude. The focus here was accuracy again. There was step marking and cut-off in this section was very low (getting one and a half questions was enough for the interview call).
Tips: Revise the concepts and formulae of probability and PnC and general aptitude. Join any online CAT test series. It would definitely help revise the basic concepts of all the general topics asked in the tests of nearly all the consultancy companies.
Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 20

Round: Interview
Experience: After the test, a total of 13 students were shortlisted for the final interview, the next day. There were 3 interviewers in the room, seated at different corners for interviewing 3 people at the same time. The interview started with the general questions like "Tell me about yourself" and "Why the IT sector". After this, i was asked to solve problems based on geometry, series, number system, probability, permutation & combination etc..
The first interview went on till about an hour, after which I was sent for the second one for the more grilling. This was the puzzle interview. The whole interview was interactive. I was asked around 5-6 puzzles during the span of 45-50 minutes.
After this, I was asked to wait another 10 minutes for the next interview. The interviewer had the test papers with him, both objective and subjective. He started asking me to solve the unsolved and the left out problems in the paper and also to explain the problems I had solved correctly. This went on for another half an hour.
Tips: Puzzles might be a bit hard to solve if you don't know the approach already. There is a book on puzzles by Shakuntala Devi (pdf available online) which is really good.
