Interview Preparation Tips
Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I do not have direct CI experience, but still, the company understood my job profile at that time and what they could expect from me. Accordingly, the case study has been assigned to me.
- Be genuine about your profile, salary, and experience; that will definitely help if you got the offer
- Make yourself comfortable with the interviewer and let them know if you have any questions for them. Spend some quality time to discuss your queries
- Be aware of the job profile or expectations before attending the interview
- Respect your current company, do not try to degrade your current company in the interview; this will not make you a trustworthy candidate
Round: Resume Shortlist Experience: I was fulfilling their criteria of 60% through out the academics.
Round: Test Experience: Aptitude was easy. It contained basics of Quants & Logic . Verbal or English part was bit difficult and length. There was a sectional time and sectional cut off.
Round: Interview Experience: There was only one interview. Both Technical and HR questions were asked in the same interview. Prepare puzzles from the book Puzzles to puzzle you by Shakuntala Devi. This book helped me a lot. Technical questions were very basic but nearly from every subject.
General Tips: BE CONFIDENT. Speak Confident in Interview even if you are not good with ur english. Skills: English language, Communication Skills, Reasoning Abilities College Name: Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College Aurangabad
Round: Resume Shortlist Experience: The resume was as per the norms of our institute’s placement office. One should mention only relevant points in the resume because if they ask you something from the resume and you are unable to answer then they will reject you bluntly.
Round: Test Experience: In the written test the questions asked were mainly aptitude based. The company had sent us some sample question papers before the written test. The questions in the test appeared from those sample papers only. Most of the questions were tricky – questions were framed in a very lengthy manner and the answers or the data required to solve the question was hidden in the last few lines. Many students wasted their time analysing such questions completely. Out of the 80 odd students who appeared for the test only 11 qualified for the next round.
Round: Technical Interview Experience: In the technical interview he asked me whether I knew programming, I replied in the negative. He asked me to suggest an algorithm to a problem. The problem was based on swapping of numbers. At first I gave a very bland reply. The interviewer wasn’t convinced by my reply and gave me another opportunity to explain me the process. This time I managed to answer appropriately. The interviewer then enquired about my internship and my projects.
Round: HR Interview Experience: The HR interview was taken by some top company official. He asked me to narrate any challenging incident in my life that I had to struggle through to emerge out of it. One important thing to note here is that your CGPA would speak for you – if you have a good CGPA half the battle is won.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE Motivation: TCS recruits a large number of students from various colleges across the country. Knowing this fact beforehand I was not much interested in joining the company. I appeared for its process as a last resort. The company had organized a pre-placement talk. I attended the talk and before appearing for the first round I went through the brochure that was given out during the pre-placement talk.
You do not require any specific information regarding the company to ace the interviews or any questionnaire.
Round: Test Experience: Very basic(class 7 level) english, quant and DI from CAT preparation will do. I was asked to estimate the number of newspapers I would buy if I am a supplier for the campus. Then slightly complicated the problem four or five times. Tips: Try to answer as many questions as possible--the test is the one major criterion for selection. Total Questions: 65
Round: Guesstimate Interview Experience: One-on-one interview.Basic guess estimation and details about your projects. Try to show you have some knowledge in mathematics.
Round: HR Interview Experience: HR interview--A panel of 4 or 5 people(who have taken the individual interviews in round I). Tips: Be confident and try not to tell something which you can’t defend.
General Tips: As is the case for most companies, CAT preparation will definitely help. I don’t think much focus was was given on the essay but the other sections of the test are really important. Skill Tips: A decent CGPA(mine was exactly 8) will help. HR interview--A panel of 4 or 5 people(who have taken the individual interviews in round I). Should be able to speak about your own projects and internships. College Name: IIT KHARAGPUR

Round: Interview Experience: 1st round: Panel of two. Asked questions about the projects which were mentioned in the resume. A few questions were asked about the core intern which I did. Asked about the family background.10 got selected in the next round of interviews. I think for the second round of interviews they selected on basis of CG. No case studies were asked Just my opinion was asked in certain topics in the second interview which was taken by the partner of the firm. He asked my opinion about construction in India. I did well in the interview and they liked my story about my projects. Tips: I think for the second round of interviews they selected on basis of CG. I started preparing in Mid-November.
