3DPLM Software Solutions Software Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Round: Test
Experience: First round is related with advanced level aptitude,so you have to work hard on your aptitude sections, questions related with geometry of complex type will be in this round.Also analytical questions ,reasoning type questions assertion reason ,puzzles will be there.In PI section i have already explained which type of questions will be there

Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: One PI round which contains both the technical and HR questions .In PI questions related with technical area of metallurgy specially thermodynamics,and mathematics like differentiation .integrations,their definitions and formula derivations ,programming related questions,data analysis,puzzles.In HR questions describe yourself ,the most general questions and also why 3dplm like questions.This PI round was around 1 hour 30 minutes.

General Tips: CPI has a very important role in my selection.They asked me about my CPI and i told 9.26 .Hence the first impression was made .They were also impressed with my increasing pointer throughout the B.Tech .So if you have an increasing pointer throughout the four years,put a graph in your resume.On the basis of CPI i got selected in this company which is mostly related with a CSE/IT background .
Skill Tips: For metallurgical engineering student ,a very sound technical knowledge specially thermodynamics ,physical metallurgy is essential.So work hard on you technical subjects also .

Round: Test
Experience: Aptitude Test: The company was open to students in CS, IT, Mtech(CS, IS), Mech, Meta and Mining with CGPA >= 6. It was an online aptitude test of roughly an hour. It contained general aptitude questions on logic and maths, with some emphasis on geometry. There were more questions than one could solve in the given time so speed was important.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Eleven people were shortlisted. In my case, the technical interview was longer than it was for others, possibly because my branch was CS. I was asked a few logical puzzles, given a program to write(very simple: to check whether a given number was an Armstrong number) and asked to explain my internships and projects, as well as my Major Project. I was also asked some basic questions on Data Structures, Operating Systems and Database Systems.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Two people were selected for this round, and both were placed in the company. Here I was asked: What do you hope to be doing some years from now? What is your idea of a good organisation? I was asked to talk about my hobbies and interests, and asked to give examples of when I had worked in a team and what role I played. They also asked for location preference.

General Tips: Some general math practice, no specific resource.
Sometimes it's all right even if you do not get the answer to a puzzle, as long as you are able to demonstrate your thinking process to the interviewer. Often when an interviewer is asking you questions about subjects you have studied, they are not testing your knowledge, but giving you a chance to explain something that you know about.
Some general math practice and recalling basic geometry concepts would help for the aptitude test.
For the technical interview, it helps to have a couple of concepts you can explain really well in subjects like OS, Database, and knowing the basics of Data Structures is essential.
The technical interview was exhausting, only because it went on for a while. In hindsight, it was not that difficult compared to some other companies I've heard about.
