Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: We were asked to fill our resume on the company website. The top 30 students were allowed to sit for the aptitude test.
Tips: Preparation for this round should start from the first semester itself. CGPA should be maintained properly, preferably over 8
Round: Test
Experience: The QA questions were easy to medium level aptitude questions. For someone preparing for competitive exams like GATE or CAT, the section would be relatively easier. The verbal section included comprehensions, and grammar questions.
Tips: Practice aptitude questions from websites like indiabix.com from the beginning of your final year. Also look at previous year questions for the company you are appearing for.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Questions: 50
Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: The interview was a mix of technical and HR questions. Answered the HR questions confidently. Was not able to answer some technical questions but explained most of them when the interview gave some hints. Overall it was a pleasant interview.
Tips: HR questions like 'Describe yourself' ' 'Where do you see yourself in 'x' years' are general interview questions and should be prepared well. Listening to the pre interview presentation is also very important, mainly the career and salary graphs. As L&T is a core civil company, a sound knowledge is required. Be ready to use concepts from class XI and XII too. Be prepared to answer questions from your project and training.
Don't make wild guesses. If don't know the answer to any question, say so. If you are unsure about an answer, take permission to make a guess. Take time to think before answering. In case of conceptual questions, think aloud. If the interviewer sees that you are technically sound, he himself will nudge you towards the correct answer. And be confident. Don't be scared. Sit straight and answer clearly and smartly.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The first round was an online test conducted by hirepro.in. The round was 2 hours and went pretty swift aside from some really 'make or break' questions. As a mechanical Engineer and having next to little proficiency in programming, I was not astounded to find myself biting nails and clicking Flukes while glancing at the ever-incomprehensible coding questions. With each question, it seemed like I was brandishing the bat in the air for all kinds of balls, whether bouncer or Yorker, just for the only reason "I can't make a single thing out of these questions, let alone answer". The verbal and quantitative part was friendlier on me. I was able to answer almost 90% in those two sections. The questions framed were basic and doable with a month

Me, With each question, seems like brandishing the bat in the air for all kinds of balls, whether bouncer or yorker, just for the only reason "I can't make a single thing out of these questions, let alone answer". The verbal and quantitative part was more friendly to me. I was able to answer almost 90% in those two sections. The questions framed were basic and doable with a month's or two's practice. The verbal section contained- Reading Comprehension, Word Synonym and antonym, Sentence Correction and Sentence orientation and ordering.
p.s: After giving the exam and ravaging the coding part, I saw my chances of getting shortlisted being one in a million. Still, with immense exultation, I got selected and was asked to go for the PI, as if they didn't consider the Programming part for mechanical engineering and for other core dept. students.
Tips: The only sutra to succeed in an online test is to stay cool during the exam and to have a healthy breakfast in the morning before the exam.
For the verbal part, start reading omnivorously and focus on sentence formation patterns. At last, Indiabix.com always comes as the saviour. For maths part needs a lot of Practice. Always, start the preparation for apti earlier than your peers: great way to get a heads up. STAY COOL AND BANG THE GAME.
