Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: First round details :The test contained of 75 questions, classified under the sections of verbal, logical and quantitative aptitude (25 questions each) within a time span of 90 min., making it 30 min per section(there’s no time division or the order in which you need to go through the sections). The level of the test was approachable.The verbal section contained of 2 -3 each of synonyms, antonyms, para-jumbles etc. It also had 2-3 reading comprehensions, easy to solve yet time-taking.The analytical part contained of syllogisms etc. It has 2-3 flowcharts & bar-graphs to be answered too, yet the section was easy, I mean a person could easily attempt all 25 questions correctly.The quantitative part contained of questions from probability, time & work, time speed & distance, algebra, sequences etc. The questions were easy but something that was striking was the time that ran short, so I suggest you should keep an eye on the upper right corner of the screen since the beginning of the test.
Books and websites used to clear first round
Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 75

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: My Topic was ‘ Should Brain Drain be stopped in India??’

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Interview experiencesThere was one technical-hr combined interview session. The interview went smooth the interviewer questioned me about the noticeable drift in my 10 and 12 marks. Being a student from EEE stream, he inquired me on my final year project. He checked me on my knowledge of C programming as well, and also about my strengths and weakness(with a justification).The interview was an overall interactive session, he asked me a few thing, I inquired about the designation that we would serve on being recruited. I can say the interview went well….and so did happen with all of my other batch mates.

General Tips: I would suggest the aspirants to practice a fair deal of aptitude and necessarily the basics of coding (at least 1 language since you are applying for an IT company ) and to importantly push nervousness aside during gd and interview sessions.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They firstly asked questions related to my resume like i added my area of intrest as electronic devices, so on that some basic questions. Then i mentioned in my resume about the paper presentation i did at IIT,Roorkee, so they asked me details on that topic. After that they asked me about my final year project, as i told them briefly, they asked about micro controller and processor as they were used in that. Then i was asked if i know any computer languages, i told C and C++, then they asked me to write a basic program on C++. Then i was asked about my hobbies and all. Dats it. It was a nice experience.

So what would i do ???I answered that nicely and HR was quite satisfied also with my answer.Then he asked me about my hobbies. He said u like participating in plays and all, as i mentioned that in extracurriculars and he said cognizant has a drama club as well  u must surely participate in that.
