Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Material I had was just resumes of seniors who got placed in my preferential companies. It's good to have lot many resumes to look at, but it's better to be focused on those kinds which suit your target companies. Then catch hold of a good lit. guy who can frame your resume points in a better way. This helped me to put more points in the given 2 pages restriction. Finally the resume was sent to all the seniors for proof read. Please note that it's not necessary to implement all the changes they suggest. Better try to understand why they proposed that change. Yeah, attending PPTs show you the kind of professionalism the company carry. Otherwise apart from those most awaited stuffs I didn't find PPTs of any help. No, I didn't talk to people before choosing but yeah after a bit of introspection and SWOT analysis of my own I chose the companies (by finding a right balance between the kind of job profiles I desire and what will suit me the best) and finally got a great feedback from seniors / friends.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Definitely, in groups. The more you work in groups the better probability of getting honest feedback. GD being a group activity had to be done in groups.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: As far as HR is concerned, general questions everyone is aware of; rest specific to various companies can be found out through people.To crack HR you need to be very much clear in your thoughts. What I mean to say is, you must know the answer of What, Why, How of everything you did, right from schooling. To do this, I just kept on writing about my life from schooling till IIT life of around 10 years, in paper. You will not appreciate the power of this until you do, but take my word that by the time you have accomplished this task you have got all the answers you were looking for. This will definitely, make all your answers (to the HR questions) seem quiet natural, in the interview (which most of the people are not able to do). For interview I made myself prepared for all the answers of typical questions then had various practices sessions with friends.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Case studies I did some but just to get myself acquainted with these things because these are there in GDs only (for the kind of job profiles I was looking)

Skill Tips: These all are fart things, if you yourself are confident enough about the company. I hope I need not justify this statement. But yeah then also just don't step in the interview room with a wrinkled shirt. Just pull on something
formal which makes you confident. As far as etiquette is concerned, just be calm and compost. Try to make yourself relax and comfortable but do also keep in mind that you are in your job-interview.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Group Discussion
Duration: 20 minutes

College Name: BITS Pilani

I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Dec 2016. There were 4 interview rounds.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: There were totally 8 sections to the test. But they could be broadly put under 4 categories. Firstly all questions were compulsory to attempt and there was no negative marking. Aptitude: Basic quantitative math questions were asked. There was one simple programming question where one could code in C/Java in your local IDE and upload the code file. It was a DO or DIE question, either you get the question and proceed to the next questions of the test or the test gets stopped if the code is not successfully compiled within 5 attempts. This programming question, as was told was an important criteria to filter out candidates for the next round. There was a descriptive question asking about a recent team project done.
Tips: Achievements in sports and other extra curricular activities are valued. Mention them in the resume, if applicable.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In this round, they look for the candidate's experience in coding in whatever language mentioned in the resume - I was asked to write some simple codes in c. I was also asked to explain some projects from the resume.
Tips: basic knowledge of data structures, resume preparation

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: In this round, the questions were mostly based on the resume and the projects done. Also, HR questions like What do you know about Schlumberger, How do you perform in a team, What makes you unique from the other candidates etc. were asked. They also ask if you have any questions from your side - Better to ask questions if you have one or if you can't think upon any specific question, ask them a doubt from whatever they have said(usually they say a lot about their company and principles before they ask you for questions)
Tips: Prepare for a HR interview separately, resume preparation

The panel tried to prove within themselves that can ask difficult questions. The even entered to doctorate level questions which is not valid for performing job. Finally, I conclude that they performed some time-pass session.
