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.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Tips: Make sure your aptitude is very strong to get through this round.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: This round is the most enjoyable one. Do not prepare for this. Go in with an open mind and participate in all the activities.
General Tips: The experience with Thorogood was an exciting one. I look forward to joining the organization. I was offered the profile of business intelligence consultant. Make sure your interests and future goals match those of the company. Think about these things even before the interview. Please don't sit for companies that you actually have no intention of joining. This disrupts the process for many other interested students.
Skill Tips: Do not prepare for the last round.
Even if you get rejected by a company, don't lose hope. Sit for other companies and keep on working hard! Things will definitely go your way. Be yourself! Again, getting through the first round is pretty hard considering the number of students who sit for the test. Be quick and accurate.

a really good work experience.

6 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: 1.It starts off with an Aptitude test of 30 min time duration, testing your Quantitative aptitude like MBA exams,
but way easier and some basic Computer Programming knowledge.
2. Of what I observed, they select half of the people after aptitude test.
Tips: 1. Be calm and give anything you want/like like you don't want it at all.
Then see the magic happen.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: 1.Then half of the remaining candidates are removed after GD round
2.One needs a clear mind to answer those.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: 1.We had Case Study analysis
2.They filter out two thirds of the people after Case study and Video round
3.Also for Mu Sigma, one has to prepare out of the box answers for Case studies which they will ask in the
interview.
Tips: 1.Google the last years’ case studies asked in Mu Sigma interviews.
Round: personal interview
Experience: 1.Finally you are left with about 1/6th of the total number of candidates for PI stage (ie 42 ppl appx) out of
which they select about 1/3rd of the people.
2.So all in all about 1/18th of the total number of candidates make it to Mu Sigma appx.
3.One needs a clear mind to answer those.
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: 1) You are in the middle of a desert and you have a full glass of water. The glass is cylindrical and you are
carrying nothing else along with you. Your mission, to make the water in the glass EXACTLY 50% or half (By
exactly I mean EXACTLY). So think of a way to do it.
2) Count the number of hair on your head ? . Find the answer logically.
3) You have to build a hotel in the middle of 2 major cities along the highway. The two cities are 500 km apart
and you have to build a hotel right in the middle of the 2 cities. Think of ways to maximize profits in a barren
land with nothing around.
Tips: 1.(Don't give a cheesy answer like one million and say you can't
prove it so any number will do)
2.Like the 3 questions above, many more were asked in my interview. Try solving them on your own, as you
can expect questions along this line in your interview.
General Tips: 1.Well they are looking for logical, analytical people. As mentioned above the type of questions they ask test
your logical ability to the limit.
2.Also its a myth that low pointers don't get placed first.
I got placed in the first month of placement season on campus and the 10th person to be placed in a branch
of 150 students.
