Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test basically tests your ability to solve questions as quickly as possible as it's a 60 minute test for 60 questions. The level of difficulty is pretty decent, so one just needs to be focused right from the beginning. English can trouble a bit, so some practice in English sections is also advisable.

Join a test series so that you get a timed analysis of your performance, the ability to skip tough questions and to score as many marks as possible.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: It went pretty well. We had a great discussion. The approach was to list out all the problems one by one and think of probable solutions for each of them.

Round 1 - Coding Test 

(3 Questions)

Round duration - 90 Minutes
Round difficulty - Hard

I found the online coding round of Flipkart to be quite difficult based on the constraints of the problem and their time limits. I coded the first problem quite easily but on the second and the third problem , my code could only pass a few test cases and gave TLE for most of them. Both the questions required very efficient solution and the last 5 to 10 Test Cases carried more weight than the rest so I didn't get through this round.
