Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Piece of cake it was! Most of the questions were MCQ type. I was just so cool and started solving the questions at my own pace. I had four sections as mentioned above, but they were a mixture of all difficulty levels! First section took a lot of my time as they were mathematical and needed solving. Second and third sections were easy - Just applying the common sense and linguistic skills. The fourth section is the easiest with only two choices for each MCQ. This section had two descriptive questions - "Who is your favorite superhero and why?" , "What is the joke made of you often and how would you rate it?". Answered these quickly and truly(Do not waste time on such questions)!  
There was also another test immediately after this with 30 minutes duration. Two descriptive type questions - DATA ANALYSIS (Write what all you infer from the given table),  Picture description(What do you infer from the image below). Both these questions were general.
Tips: Concentrate more on PROBABILITY, PERMUTATION AND COMBINATION. But Don't leave other topics.
Aptitude is a test on how fast you use your common sense and logic to solve a problem.
Do not 'write a lot' for the descriptive questions - be brief and specific, use proper grammar.
If you are attempting the online test for the first time or even if you are experienced, please read the "Instructions" TWICE.
Once you login by providing the details you will see the clock that has already started its countdown! Do not panic. Time has never stopped and it never will!! Just start attempting the questions right away.   
Prepare well, never lose hope, again I insist on PROBABILITY!
Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 55

Round: Video Synthesis
Experience: Only the shortlisted candidates will be called for this round.A video will be played for about 15 minutes. The requirement was to note down in points, what I had inferred from the video. The video played would be of any genre. For me, it was a promotional and summarizing lecture given by the CEO. I was given just 20 minutes and I had to write what I had inferred from the video on a A6 size card, provided by the recruiters after a pre-placement talk(PPT).
Tips: Pick a suitable seat in the hall from where you can see the video and  hear the audio clearly.
Concentrate on the video when it is played. Don't try to take notes when the video is being played as you might miss some key points!
When you are asked to write, recap the video as many times and decide what points are so strong and encouraging. While writing, stick to one style of bullets, use same size font (handwriting).
Again, be careful with the grammar!

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: All candidates who attended the video synthesis round were allowed to attend group discussion. My group was asked to discuss about a part of the video that was played before and we were given thirty minutes. The recruiter was so cool and he himself took part in the discussion. Using valid points and wit in speech is the only path to success in GD.
Tips: Be casual in the way you speak and at the same time prove you are ready to be a professional.
The selection is based on - How you listen, How and when you speak, How and when you give a chance for others to speak.
Make a plan on how the GD should happen if you get a chance to meet your group members before the GD.
Don't speak invalid and inappropriate subject just for the sake of speaking.
The most important part is 'breaking and entering' (This is where I missed, so pay attention!). The members of your team may break the plan to get an advantage over the others by not letting them speak. If one of your group members does this, raise your voice very little and ask for a chance. Even then if he continues, depending on the situation, employ your wit and break him/her and oppose their point. 
Remember : If you speak TOO MUCH, you lose. If you seldom speak, you lose.
It is better to practice GD with your friends from now.
Duration: 30 minutes

General Tips: Never panic on seeing the running clock during the online tests.Have confidence and belief that you are the one for the job.Prepare a lot. Only your work will give you fruit.
Skill Tips: Start solving a lot of puzzles and riddles.Read a lot (apart from subject), try to communicate in English whenever you can.Never set limits for your preparation.
Try to socialize and grow a network with professionals.
Skills: Analytic , Creativity, Communication, Lateral thinking
College Name: SASTRA UNIVERSITY, THANJAVUR
Motivation: Not an IT company!!!!!Data analysis and Decision Making are their prime fields. Mathematics and finance enthusiasts please apply!The company is in Bangalore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny Moments: The most funny moment is when you walk out of the hall knowing you are not selected and with a determination to prepare better and there you see others (the likes of you) 'scorching' the name of the company for hiding their inability! "Dude, I wonder if you will ever get out of your trauma!"
