Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In my implementation he thought there was some scope for improvement. I implemented the date of issue and date of return both in the books entity. I then suggested to implement an borrowed_books entity and he seemed very satisfied with it.
Tips: High

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I asked about the definition of similarity wrt the question. He replied to define it myself. So, I told him that I would find the LCS of the 2 strings and then define a threshold below/above which "we" could say them to be dissimilar/similar. There was a confusion there. I realised my mistake and stated it to be Longest Common Subsequence. He asked me to write the code. After I was done. He told me that the code was incorrect. I went through the code thrice and then I told him whether he could point out the mistakes. There were none. He was trying to see how I reacted. I didn't get too defensive. He was happy with it. Then he asked me to optimize the code. I said that for letters that didn't match in both the strings, we could define some similarity score between individual letters. He said yes it is definitely a good optimization but can you think of something simpler. I then told him that we need to normalize the LCS. He was happy that I could work on the hints he provided.
Tips: Don't get too defensive.
Listen to each and every word that the interviewer utters carefully.
Try to talk through the solution with the interviewer. Don't let a moment of awkward silence come during the interview.
Think of the interviewer as a friend with whom you are discussing a coding question. It eases out 90% of the tension.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Since there was no written test, this round was a screening round. Some 200 people gave this round. It was a short round of 3-5 minutes max in which they asked basic questions to test confidence and communication skills.
Tips: Be confident and prepare question on things in your resume.

Round: Case Study
Experience: Some 30 odd people were selected from the interview round and were all given a case study to work on. The case study was same for all students and we had to submit it at 8 the next morning. We got 12 hours to complete the Case study. This was probably the most important part of the entire process as later on there was to be an interview based on the case study
Tips: Prepare for an all nighter:-). The case study will be scant on vital stats so be ready to research them. Try to make it as detailed as possible and use pictorial representation to depict all the data. Also get a print out of the report which you can refer to in your interview. However It is advisable to remember the data

Round: Guesstimate + Case-Study Interview
Experience: Questions will be asked on your solution of the case study and some basic guesstimates. This was a long interview of 30-45 minutes and some good questions were asked.
Tips: Remember each and every point you have written in your case study and be ready with a justification of all the assumption you took.
