Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Aptitude test consisted of 6 sections( 2 sections of Quantitative & 1 section of Verbal, Analytical, C & C++ & Coding). 30 students were selected.
Tips: For Aptitude Round it is best to read from some CAT Preparation books.
Round: Programming round
Experience: Programming round (5 groups of 6 students each are made and are given a common set of question. 2 students from each group are eliminated)
Tips: If you are from circuit branch you are supposed to give just process flow diagram or logic. (Question for us was create an app for effective judiciary system consisting of General public, Petitioners, Lawyers & Judges)
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: There were 2 rounds they were-
Technical Round 1
Technical Round 2
Tips: For Technical Round it is best to revise whatever you know and tell them what you are good at.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Managerial and HR are chill rounds where they want to know whether you are really interested in joining the company or not.
Tips: Be honest and try to be yourself
General Tips: It is a very good company with lots of customers all over the world. If you love coding, it is better if you know more about chips and CPU's memory aspects because, that's what they asked in Technical round and in the end none of Computers nor IT students were selected.
I was given Quality Testing Profile. I didn't ask any questions because I thought it would be a waste of time if I didn't get selected and told them that every aspect was covered in Presentation itself.
Skill Tips: It was very Challenging not because of its process but because of coding.( I didn't know coding at all!!!!). In Technical round-1, When they asked me which language I am proficient at, I straightaway told them that i had come there for Quality Testing Profile and didn't know neither C nor C++. So for me in Technical round they asked me puzzles & Control system questions and I answered them all. Later they told me that normally they would have rejected anybody who tell them that they don't know that coding(The company policy is to take people who are suitable for all 3 profiles) but since, I specifically mentioned that I want Testing Profile they gave me a chance and I nailed it.

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.

Interview Preparation Tips
General Tips: Prepare for general Apti and C-Apti questions beforehand. It's a very under rated advice.
The job profile offered to me was mainly financial. Some of the questions one should make sure to ask the interviewers is a detailed interpretation of what your job may entail and the various intricacies like the city where you will probably be working, the training period etc are must asked question.
Skill Tips: Be confident in your answers. Your personality is the first thing they try to assess and if you can come across as someone who is confident in his abilities, you immediately gain a head-start.
Overall, after observing other interview processes, I would have to say that my placement experience was relatively tension free. The interviewers did a great job in helping me relax and I don't really remember ever being stressed out during any of the rounds.

2 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips
General Tips: For EEE students it is very important to know your strengths. Also you got to plan effectively if you are taking GRE and other exams. Try to make your resume company specific. Having too many electronics or other research projects may hurt your chance of getting in companies which don't have suitable profile. For EEE students it is safe to learn basic programming skills in C , C++ . Having any software projects done in C,C++,Java languages is helpful. Unless anyone is interested in power systems related company it is beneficial for others to learn basic programming. Generally first round is toughest round to clear. So familiarity in basic aptitude questions is necessary. Interviews again require company specific preparation. A lot depends on luck at this stage to get a final offer.
