Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Interviews were driven to know the candidate better and their capabilities. They also didn’t waste much time asking students who they were sure not to recruit and conducting reasonably long interviews.

General Tips: Do’s :
1. Start preparing with the start of the summers.
2. Concentrate on your own preparation and not on what others are doing.
3. Keep the preparation time of HR to maximum 20 hours because HR accounts for just 20% weightage in your selection procedure.
4. Have patience.
5. Prepare every point written in the resume such that you are able to speak for at least 3 min on the subject. You might gain bonus points if you are aware of some latest developments or strategic changes in the field.

Don’ts :
1. Never bog down when you are either not shortlisted in the company who have been aiming for or when even after practice you are not getting the correct way.
2. Do not form very large groups for the preparation. Try making the preparation time that you spend with the group as efficient as possible with the least of bulla sessions.

Round: Test
Experience: It was a speed Test. Question including all the aptitude areas English, Calculations, Mental Ability etc.
Tips: Be a human calculator, you shouldn't do calculations manually. Everything should be done in your mind.
Duration: 20 minutes
Total Questions: 50

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: It was GD of 20 students at a time so you can guess there was no time for everybody to speak their mind. But still in the end everyone was a given chance so that they can speak. I was given the chance to speak in the end and I utilized every bit of it. I used snapdeal (the company in which I was appearing) in the illustrations and some good management keywords which make my impression very good in-front of the Invigilator.
Tips: You don't need to be mind blowing in English, all you need is the content. Don't speak in layman language, try you use some big words and always say all the good things for that company in illustrations. Try to avoid using competitor of the company.
Duration: 10min. minutes

General Tips: 1. Dont take written test lightly. Prepare as much as you can.
2. Join any CAT preparation websites or coaching.
3. Prepare for GDs with groups other than yours regularly.

Good profile, the one I was looking to enter into.
Had a great internship their, so kind of PPO
Funny Moments: How I was almost out of the process??  First they announced a cut off 41 out of 50 in their written test. About 259 students were shortlisted. Just before the GDs were to be held in the evening of Day 2, a notice appears that cut off has been revised and new cut off is 47. Only 58 students were there in the new shortlist. Imagine other 200 students, all suited with preparations done, were asked to leave the scene !! I was very serious about working in an e-commerce company. Guess what, I had 42 marks in the test.We were walking back to the hostel, clicked some pics thinking at-least wore the suit for first time and abusing the company blah blah blah.But then came the news just half an hour after that and Luckily some guys convinced the Snapdeal's Placement coordinator and yes we were back in the race, actually won the race :D
