Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: After the customary " Tell my about Yourself" and "Why Barclays?", I was asked about my previous internship ( which was in IT domain ) and an android game that I had made. I just explained both of them completely and gave the interviewer a demo of my game.
Tips: Having points in your resume (projects, internships etc.) that prove your coding aptitude definitely helps. Explain everything completely with full clarity along with all the steps you took, the things you learned and most importantly the difficulties faces and how you overcame them. ( I spoke for 15 to 20 mins straight)

General Tips: Speak confidently and be positive. Also shake your interviewer's hand.
Skill Tips: You mostly wont be tested on coding if you have projects as a proof of your skill.
Skills: Big Data Analytics, Analytical Skills, Basic Coding, IT Skills, Ability To Deliver On A Project
Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: Global exposure, best in terms of stipend and other facilities.
Funny Moments: I had to run all the way back to my hostel mid interview as I wasn't having my game in my phone initially.
