4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The test had two sections, i.e, aptitude and coding(two questions). Around 10 and 20 students were selected after this round for pune and chennai branch respectively.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I was from electrical background so I had more questions about electrical, projects, puzzles..etc, They didn't ask more questions on coding though it was for job profile.They just expect you to know what you have learnt well.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: I had a tough time in the HR round as I was not able to completely convince them about the reason why I want to join for an IT profile when I have no projects related to it to prove my interest.There were general questions like why citicorp, strengths/weakness, resume based question..etc.
General Tips: I was recruited for the IT Analyst profile.It is not compulsory to ask questions during interviews but if you have some real doubts you should ask. It is good to ask some question atleast because it shows that you are interested in the company.
Skill Tips: Don't panic, you needn't know everything. Just be sure and confident about what you speak. No special preparation required. But just know what you have done in three years atleast fairly well as not knowing electrical after studying it for three long years would give a wrong impression about your ability to learn and grasp things.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: AMCAT TEST
Experience: The selection procedure included an aptitude test managed by Amcat. It included Quant , Verbal, C Aptitude and 2 Coding questions. The level of the questions were easy but the time was limited as in one question per minute time was allotted and the cut-offs were close to 80% in the aptitude sections. Since it was open for all branches 270 people appeared ad 70 were shortlisted.
Tips: For aptitude round Indiabix.com and sample Amcat questions are more than enough.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They asked me basics of arrays and linked lists which included efficient swapping, searching, deletion, etc and a few puzzles.
Tips: For C Aptitude , basics of DS is sufficient. Also people from non-CS and non-IT branches, do ask your CS and IT friends to tell you some common Data Structures interview questions.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: After this I had a Technical cum HR round where they asked me about my internship, projects, good things about place of internship, about going for further studies and history questions (I had told them I am interested in History so they asked me about the beginning of World War 2 , so its important to choose your hobbies wisely.
Finally one last HR round was conducted where they asked about my family and my 10th, 12th and college Maths subject marks.
General Tips: Be thorough with your CV. Be honest during the interview especially if you do not know a certain topic. Like I said that being from EEE we do not have Data Structures and OS as part of our curriculum so I know only the basics and that's why he tested me on the same. Also when a puzzle is asked, keep asking relevant questions about the puzzle because most companies see your approach rather than the final solution.
Most of the questions were very basic and they focused more on my internship project so it was a good experience. Also I was the first one to finish all the rounds so it wasn't very exhausting either. Although some had to wait the whole day to get to the first round of interview.
Skill Tips: Like I said, be thorough with the basics of Data Structures especially if you do not have a nice internship to show on your CV and try to score high on your Aptitude test. Also brush up everything you have written on your CV and go through common puzzles asked during interviews.

2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Test was basic aptitude questions followed by a programming section with output questions, and finally from C++ involving classes, objects, inheritance and variable scope. Last section was coding, one was from array, second from linked list and third from OS.
General Tips: Be very confident and positive spirited. Be very well dressed and groomed. Be very sure of what you want out of your career since HR questions are highly varied from one candidate to next and honest answers can only get you selected. Leave out further studies from the discussion obviously.
Skill Tips: Prepare from glassdoor, indiabix and any book/ source of objective questions on C/C++ and OS/DBMS/DSA. Practice coding from competitive websites like codechef to get adjusted to that coding style. Unnecessary problems can otherwise arise which will be a headache during limited time in the test.

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The test was for two and half hours where 1 hour was for general aptitude, 1 hr was for coding aptitude(either on java or C or C++as you choose) and 1/2 an hour for two coding questions.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In technical round they asked puzzles, aptitude questions and basic C coding. I was asked to write the code for two questions(one was on sort and search) and was asked the logic of two questions.They asked basics of linked lists, stacks, queues. Infact they were not very interested in the syntax and were pressing on the logic
General Tips: Being a non software branch students is not at all a problem. The company took 4 interns where 3 were from core branches. The fact that we had to work in JAVA and most of us didn't know JAVA, the company only looks for aptitude and ability to learn. So if you don't know anything, tell frankly that you don't know that part, rather than guessing. Be thorough with what you know and confidentially answer all the questions.
Also do not be tensed and take things lightly, if the interviewer is joking. Be candid.
Skill Tips: Learn basics of coding from books . Aptitude can be done from sites likes geeks for geeks, etc. The level of aptitude is not very high and infact the coding aptitude is also theoretical and does not involve in depth knowledge.
