Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Initially an online written round was conducted consisting of following sections:
1. General aptitude
2. Logical Reasoning
3. Technical (Basic C/C++ questions)
4. English
Overall time limit was nearly 2 hrs. It was an easy round.

Round: Test
Experience: Then after this a large number of students were selected for the next coding round, where we had just one problem to code and time limit was 30 minutes. Problems were randomly distributed, it’s just that coding interface was not that good so many fellow mates of mine faced problem getting the output to the console in the right manner.I got the following program:A number x supports a number (x+b) where b is the number of set bits in binary representation of x, like if x = 3 then x supports (3+2)=5 as 3 has 2 1’s in its binary representation. Now you are provided with an array of numbers you have to print SUPPORTED if number is supported by any number if not print BLEAK else if there is an invalid input print 0.After this round 77 students were selected for the interview rounds. A big panel of 9 members had arrived to conduct these interviews.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This round went for like 45 minutes, the interviewer was really nice and was giving certain clues in between to guide me.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was a long and scary round, it lasted for like 2 hours.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interviewer asked me about the previous codes that I had made in previous rounds. He was more concerned about the approach than code. Then he start questioning about the site I made in round 3 regarding how I will amend it if it has to go global to alltype of customers. Then there were some basic HR questions.
Finally 3 students were selected out of total 77 students including me.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Every section had 3-4 subsections.Questions on coding skills were a bit tougher.Trees and Graphs were major topics here. Others were finding complexities,array representation of trees etc.Codes were written in c++.DBMS had normal theoretical questions and simple SQL queries. Software engineering had flow charts mainly with problem statement given and few boxes in the charts left to be filled by you from given options.Aptitude and verbal was easy
Tips: Although the questions were a bit tougher but hold your nerves.Try to give your best based upon whatever you have studied till date.Apply all your logics and you can solve it.Total 200 students took the test and they shortlisted around 60. So even if you do a bit better than others you have very good chance to get shortlisted for the next round.
Do well in aptitude section. They will be easy and will maximize your score.
Duration: 120 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: My internship project was a java framework for automation of unit testing and the interviewer took special interest in that.He gave ample time to think about the logic for codes. This round was not so tough.
Tips: Make sure that you know your projects thoroughly with all the pros and cons with all the future aspects.They were least interested in which language you are coding. Even if you get the logics correct and write the algorithms you were selected for the next round.

Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: This round was a bit rougher. I couldn't answer one puzzle.The interviewer was adding more stress to environment. Even for your correct answer he was acting as if you have given a wrong answer. He was a man with no emotions. May be he was checking how far you can pretend to be confident.
Tips: Seeing his emotions I seriously felt that I am not going to get shortlisted for the next round although I had answered remaining questions perfectly.So don't get disheartened. Situation will be same for all.Be confident.Whatever you know express that confidently.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This round was not so tough.Although he asked me to write code in c.I asked him if I can write in java as I am more comfortable in java.He said I will be more than happy if you can write in English language and just give me flow chart considering all the constraints.
Tips: Even if you are not from CSE background,try to think logically. They were not seeing your coding skills rather they were more concerned with your logic and algorithms. They were giving ample time to think.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: HR was just formality. Normal questions were asked.

General Tips: Special suggestion for ECE students. Don't think that you can't beat CS student in technical interview. Know your projects. Have basic knowledge of Data structures, OS and DBMS.Even they don't expect us to be like CS guy but be sure that you can impress them with your logics.
Skills: Confidence, Puzzle Solving Capability, Basic Knowledge Of DBMS, Algorithmic Approach To Problem Solving, Operating Systems, Data Structures
