I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Jun 2024. There was 1 interview round.

Round 1 - Assignment 

There are 5 subjects in the assessment and as far as my knowledge you get 2 or 3 attempts to clear those. You need to get 80 percent in all subject in order to qualify for round 2.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Pathetic process. They schedule assessment as first round of interview and they give you 5 subject in test and expect you to score 80 percent in all at entry level. Software like ERP SAP is not used everywhere and even if it is used it’s not that easy to score 80 percent in the subject. No matter how good you score in other subject they still expect for all subjects to be scored 80 percent. They give you 2 or 3 attempts , you need to visit there office for giving assessment and everytime the question set is very very different. The person who is new to the process or new to the software is not able to clear that with 80 percent. I personally did a lot of study as required and twice I scored 70 percent in SAP as SAP was new to me and in other subjects I score more than 80 percent but they still did not consider me. I believe that in entry level with just basic package expecting this much is not appropriate. They need to improve and modify the process. I am writing this out of pain as I know how I hard I personally studied to score what I score but eventually they did not consider because in Software I did not qualify the cut off. Everybody needs a training and when people get on production they obviously learn more about software is very basic for company to understand. No doubt it’s a good company but this rigid process needs to be modified for sure. All the best for your future. Thank you.
