4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Tips: Common misunderstanding:- written test = quantitative aptitude.
Other sections must be covered as well.- LR, DI, verbal & non verbal problems etc.Try to cover maximum types of topics with a basic knowledge of each type, rather than practicing a few topic very deeply.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Reading the newspaper is sufficient.
Tips: Reading the newspaper is sufficient.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The panel was quite cooperative, except for one member,( he remained stiff and quite strict, not at all polite, used to ask questions out of nowhere & expected brief answers and interrupted in case they went any longer ). This obviously was a part of their approach, to check how I reacted to sudden strict questions.
Questions were mainly technical, along with some general queries related to family, hobbies & interests, what have you learned from your hobbies or simple basic questions to check whether you're lying.
Body language was being observed keenly.
There is no point rushing things and ending up being choked, looking for proper words to complete the sentence. (happens a lot in interviews)
I took my time in answering the questions, whenever i needed to think.
Tips: Know your strength as well as the weak points and be prepared with strong, positive answers.
Skill Tips: never mug up what you're going to say and never lie, if possible.Even if you know the answer (easy question) answer politely, stay calm.Collecting numerous certificates is of no real use, as far as placements are concerned.(core companies).

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Aptitude of easy level.
Total Questions: 15
Round: Problem Statement
Experience: Learn the basics of a programming language. The problem solving round involved a psuedocode .For the video synthesis round question of our batch, Google "Toast for change" , there is a 5 minute video clipping and we were asked to synthesize it ( NOT summarize it!!! )
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The gd consisted of two sections. In the first section the students had to discuss the points to be considered while selecting a website. Some of the points we had put up included the site should provide tour packages which is favoured by a lot of people, the site should be linked to applications like Google maps which can provide access to information like location etc,
During the second part of the gd, the students were given five minutes to discuss and decide 3 main points out of all the points discussed previously.
After the gd, the students were asked to 1) write down all the points discussed in the sheets provided 2) write down all the points which they have not mentioned during the gd but are relevant the topic
Tips: 1) Use the time given to think properly. A proper set of points goes a long way in improving your performance during the gd
2) Read newspapers and articles on such topics. Will give an idea about such management issues
3) Be loud. Makes one look more confident
4) Listen to what the others have to say. The judging panel looks for a good speaker and a good listener. The advantage is twofold: firstly if you are out of points you can simply get something to speak about by combining what the others are saying and contradicting a few other like "I completely agree to what so and so have said but I would'nt quite agree to this because .....". The judges will note you as a good observer
5) Donot dominate over others. A group discussion is not a debate where you have to take a side.
6) try to add numbers and statistics in the discussion cause that's what analytics company want from their employees
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR PI was quite casual, slightly informal. I was asked about family members etc, followed by a question about the reason for my drop year. The first question after the introduction was "tell me about yourself". This question can be predicted as "tell me about your qualities that make you fit for our company". I used this question to describe all the traits that made me suitable for them, and normally I justify each quality I mention immediately. Also I would advise you to emphasize qualities that set you apart from the crowd and make you fit for their company. The HR asked me why I intended to join an analytics company if all my projects were based on biomedical. My answer to the question was that my projects were all soft computing based, and hence most of the work I do involves using a set of data to predict something which is quite similar to what they do in Mu Sigma. The only difference lies in the fact that the work I do is based on bioloigical data and biological parameters and they used market and business data( please note that I could only bring this up since most of my work is based on neural networks and soft computing, please do prepare something to relate what you have done to what they do or simply mention you were always interested in analytics and playing with nos from the start).
I was asked about a few projects of mine mentioned in my CV, I was asked to explain them, I was asked a few questions on neural networks(they only asked them cause I had mentioned it earlier)
In the end the HR asked me if there is anything I would like to ask him, so I asked him to criticize me so I could work on the points where I lack. He gave me 2 points.
Tips: Points to be noted about the hr pi:
1) Observe the nature and personality of the PI. The video presentation at the beginning of the placement process gives a very good idea about the hr's personality, the work culture etc. So use this information to predict his nature and present yourself accordingly
2) Relax. In my opinion the hr PI is the easiest and the most fun round in Mu Sigma.
3) Use the tell me about yourself and the free question well. What you ask and what you say will give a very good glimpse of your true personality
4) There is no need to be very formal and robotic but maintain politeness while answering.
Skill Tips: 1) Improve your aptitude solving ability.2) Learn the basics of a programming language. The problem solving round involved a psuedocode.3) For the video synthesis round question of our batch, Google "Toast for change" , there is a 5 minute video clipping and we were asked to synthesize it ( NOT summarize it!!! )

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Average level of difficulty.
Tips: Study mechanical and physical metallurgy as well as iron and steel making properly.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 50
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: There were 12 candidates in my GD group including me so you need to speak enough over the topic and you need to show some good GD atticates which will work in your favour.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: My PI consisted many ups and downs I.e. Silence of half an hour and then continuous speaking of about 20 min. As it was a kind of group interview but the questions were asked to individual and questions were not passed to the other candidate I.e. It was 3(HR) on 1 interview but two other candidates were also listening your interview.
Tips: My interview was based only on my industrial project and nothing else. Just know your project very well do it very seriously so that you are answerable to each and every question that will be bombarded over you!!!
And discover your passion till fourth year and accordingly choose the company. Do not experiment with your life and if confused talk to your seniors.
General Tips: The most important thing which matters is how passionate and how eager you are to work with them. Also most important is positive attitude towards every problem.
Skill Tips: If you ask any senior about cpi and if he says that it doesn't matter then he is definitely misguiding you!!!! Weightage of cpi and your technical is equal. If he says make your technical sound and you will be selected then it happens very rarely at least in our college. They want to see your performance in your academic session. They want to see how consistant you will be in their company and how serious you are towards your work and also towards your career. Less cpi even if you are constant through out, tells them that you will not grow after some point of time so they want growing and consistently growing performance which help them in their company. And backlog history matters more then your cpi because companies are nowadays asking for no backlog history so if you are not eligible for company then to whom you will show your pointers???
Skills: CGPA, Eagerness to work, Positive attitude

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Basically there were two sections 1- Subjective Questions - 70 questions ( Questions were different for chemistry , physics , and mathematics applicants ) .In this section there were questions based on passage , calculation based questions that were supposed to be answered in numerals , and optional type. This section's questions were subject wise as per the applicants subject choice . 2-Second section was comprised of Aptitude ,Logical reasoning , General English , and few questions of general knowledge and current affairs and it had 30 questions. Total 3 hours had been given to take test to each candidate but there was negative marking for each wrong answer.
Result of this written test was like this - " They selected only 8 candidates from each subject ,that are CHEMISTRY ,MATHEMATICS and PHYSICS out of whole lot for the next round of recruitment procedure. Those 8 candidates were screened based on the test scores.
Tips: Attempt those questions first ,which look easy to solve .As it had negative marking pattern ,so while answering, avoid making blind guesses and attempt those, which you are sure about in order to get clear in written . As I personally felt that time given to candidates was well enough to take test,so did not find time factor as problem.There were some question whose answer were supposed to be given in numerals/digits,so while attempting such questions make sure to solve them correctly as these sort of questions are like blessing in disguise but can be risky as well.As due to negative marking feature ,even 1 mark turned out as deciding factor, cause the passage for entering to next round was quite narrow ..means only 8 candidates were allowed to go next round for each subject .So give your best at test and take it sincerely and wisely .
Duration: 3 hours minutes
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Actually HR interviews had gone parallelly along with teaching demonstration round ,which was 2nd and of course last round . Very first question's been fired ....."Ohk then ,Tell me something about yourself ".Well this was the 1st question that had been asked to me when i entered inside the room to take demonstration class before the interviewer .As we(candidates ) had been told during PPT (pre placement talk ) ,that this teaching demonstration will be major and prime factor of selection and our whole probability of getting selected will solely depend on the way we'll nail the teaching demonstration round . They asked some HR questions like "ok tell us about your family ,who are there in your family etc" . Answer it,just how you feel ,as these kind of questions are general type that one can easily answer, but yet frame the answer in your head before saying . As far as I have seen ,if a girl belongs to core branch ,she has to face one basic question ( not necessary in all cases :D ) " BEING A GIRL ,what are the qualities you posses that makes you different from other candidates ? " ...." Suppose if we hire you ,but BEING A GIRL , if we allocate you at any place ,will you be comfortable ? "
So basically girls you'll have to go through such questions if you will attend interview ,but never mind , one should know how to answer in best possible way :) ...
Demonstration went for about 25-35 minutes ,and we had been told to choose any one of the topic related to the subject we had applied for,and were asked to take demo class like one that happens in school and coaching classes .
Tips: Like every other interviews ,interviewers shoot ICE BREAKING question " Tell me about yourself " ...Very basic 1 ,this is the perfect time to grab the whole attention and to outcast who and what you are . Basically all they seek and want to know from you is " what specific skill and things you are good at , that would be useful to the post they are offering "
GRAB the attention and take the conversation to the ways ,like you want .As the HR's probable next question ,that it may ask ,would be out of the one you told in your introduction part .As I had missed telling about my family by little ,so out of curiosity ,they asked to me to tell itself . Well as i said the demonstration was all,that had mattered the most ,so do focus on the skills of teaching .
The MOOL MANTRA to answer any question to any interviewer is " One should be convinced and satisfied with it's answer, before telling it to someone ,cause if you are not convinced then how can we expect to convince someone else before us :) "
Apart from it , be genuine and cool throughout the demonstration and interview, ( Never show any anxiety on face , cause they want human as there employee ,not a machine :) ...Never fumble or go blank .If you not getting the right answer ,then don't get panic, as no one is PERFECT and they know it ,but one should know how to answer in other best possible way . During demonstration they had raised questions related to the content that i was teaching , and quenched down there curiosity by answering . Don't let your voice shiver ( as it's shows one's lack of confidence.Lucky if interviewer would take it as your nervousness, but make sure to not continue it for long ).
General Tips: Be clear with what you want to answer. Do practice aptitude question ,as everyone is good enough to solve aptitude questions ,but what matters is SPEED and ACCURACY. So practice to solve them in time . If one is not getting answer ,then don't stick with it ,and hit the next question. As sometime many test papers are designed in such a way that initial question's solutions are lengthy enough that it kills most of the given test time, hence we miss many simple questions that could help us to clear the written round . So have a good look on questions and smartly take test ,Cause eventually the score will decide ,not the way like how one started answering from question no. 1 :)))
Skill Tips: Be good with the points that one is supposed to take demo class on. Do questions to yourself and try to frame how to answer . Answer should be good enough to clear doubt not to increase it .
Skills: Teaching, how one clears the doubt during teaching session , Interacting

Funny Moments: DISCLAIMER - PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW IT, NOT NECESSARY THAT IT WOULD WORK OUT FOR ALL , DO NOT BE A COPYCAT :P :D :P
Well there was nothing much funny that had happened during interview ,as these moments already quite create tense atmosphere . But still to divert our mind from such anxiety ,take your attention to somewhere and fix it to something . Well during the time span of written and demo round, it was about 2 hours of break and i had come back to room but what i was doing ,was playing games :P unaware of written's result :D .Meanwhile I got call from one of my friend who were there at college at that moment " Abey ho gya tera next round ke liye :P ,aaja college " ,and Then i closed the game and went like BOSS 8-) .Must be thinking what was funny ?? Agreed ,it wasn't funny but yeah I found it helpful as when one ponder about results , consequences , and interview as battle ,it nervous a person even more ,So take it like nothing is happening and all you have to do is being yourself and let your talent come out :D :P
