The MCQs Were On Java, Python, MongoDB, MySQL, JSON, Cloud Computing, JavaScript & C++ With the Majority Of Them On Java.
Half Of The Questions Were Theory-Based And The Other Half Were Output Based On JAVA & C++. I Would Highly Recommend Having An Excellent Knowledge Of Both JAVA & C++ To Ace Up The Online Round.
The 2 Programming Questions In Section-B Were Of 20 & 50 Marks Respectively. The 1st Question Was Easy And I Was Able To Solve It Easily. It Was Based On Number Theory. The 2nd Question Was Really Hard And Was A String Pattern Matching Question Quite Similar To The Z-Algorithm. Solving The 2nd Question Is Like A Bonus Because This Question Carries The Highest Marks. I Was Able To Solve Both The Questions.

Tip 3 : Have at least 2 Good Project, That would be an advantage
Tip 1 : Try to complete in 1 page, without reducing the beauty. Show atleast 2 project, 2 hackathons, 1 internship, and your achivement.
Tip 2 : Be honest. Copying something from github, isn't a great idea. You can do, but please work in it. Spend 1 week reading that code, and try implementing that project by yourself, and then put into the resume.

Interview Preparation Tips
Tip 1 : Do not totally depend on past interview questions or as such unless and until you have a strong foundation. Just build the foundation first in starting months.
Tip 2 : More focus should be on problem-solving skills. Develop the skills of using applications.(Eg.: Where one should use Hashmap, Arraylist, etc.)
Tip 3 : Try to solve the problem on your own. Just sink yourself into the question so much that you don't need to look for the solution.(Figure out solution in your own way).
Tip 4 : Regarding project, quantity doesn't matter but what matters the most is you should know about the project from start to end. Able to explain the project clearly. Be ready with technical as well as Behavioral questions.
Tip 1 : Get rid of irrelevant topics or headings.(Eg. Stood 1st in Annual Sack Race Competition.)
Tip 3 : Make sure you don't keep anything which create problem at time of Interview.
Tip 4 : Short and crisp Resume with each spelling checked twice.
Tip 5 : Keep updating your resume based on addition of Internship/Projects, etc.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: In the group activity they divided us in some 7-8 groups and they gave us a pack of cards. And asked us to build a house using those cards. As the table we were supposed to use as a base was so smooth cards were not withstanding on that table. They just wanted to taste if we come up with some different ideas and also the team work and how we tackle the failure. If we are a team player or not.
Tips: Just be yourself. You can take the lead but don't force them to follow you. Convince them and take them with you. Encourage as much as you can. Don't accept the failure at any point.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: First they asked me to introduce myself which is general. Just be yourself tell them about your education, what your parents do, what are your hobbies, what are your interests, your internship.
Then the guy asked me about my internship so I told him what I basically did in my internship. Then he asked me to draw a UI design for a page I built and write a code for that module. Then he asked to some questions from algorithms and asked me to write a code. Then he asked some questions from OOPS and Java. Then he asked one question from DBMS regarding normalized forms. Final 10 minutes he asked me if I have some questions.
Tips: When you are explaining about your internship don't try to brag or anything whatever you have done just explain. They are interested to if you can apply the knowledge you have learnt during that period. During coding questions relax think give him the algorithm keep talking to him tell him what's running in your mind. If you are going wrong they will guide you. Read geeksforgeeks.org it helped me a lot.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: He asked me some general questions regarding my behavior, if I am interested for higher studies, how is my relations with my juniors, my batchmates, my seniors.
Tips: Just provide him with an example you have encountered while answering or giving the situation. Show him your qualities by telling the situations which you handled wisely. If you are definite that you want to do job say no for higher studies even if you are thinking to go after 2-3 years.
