Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: It was a bit lengthy and I wasn't able to solve all the questions, but the rest was accurately completed by me.

Duration: 120 minutes

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: A few points were given to us and we had to proceed from there. I gave new ideas as well as new points of view on the already presented ideas. I also encouraged others to participate.
Tips: Don't be too quiet/passive or too loud/active. Let others also talk and don't talk about the same points again & again.
Duration: 15 minutes

Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was a good interview. I felt at ease and myself while talking about me. The CTO of the company was conducting it.
Tips: See the direction in which the interview is going and frame your answers accordingly. Tell them what they want to hear, but don't lie.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It was a telephonic interview, and the HR team present there was guiding me through it. The questions were easy.
Tips: Be confident while answering the questions. Don't think too much on it, and answer appropriately. Be clear and concise.

General Tips: As I said earlier as well, be yourself and be confident.

Funny Moments: I was not able to listen properly to the telephonic interview, but the CTO was impressed with me in the HR interview so he happily guided me through. I also found out that one of the seniors interviewing me was from the same place as that of mine, so we had a small discussion there as well. I felt at ease hence.

College Name: IIT BOMBAY

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The questions were of medium to high difficulty. What set this test apart was the fact that each question had different weightage ranging from 0.5 to 3 marks per question. Time was a major factor. So my strategy was to attempt all the 1 and 1.5 marks questions which constitute the major chunk of the paper in around 40 minutes and spend the remaining 20 minutes for the 2 and 3 mark questions. I did not even bother reading the 0.5 mark questions. The 2 and 3 mark questions were difficult and those will differentiate you from others. 1600 students wrote the test and only 86 got shortlisted for the next round.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 40

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I was asked to write a C program to print the Fibonacci sequence and a basic SQL query. Apart from this I was asked a puzzle and other questions related to my resume. Out of the 86, only 26 students were called for the next round which again was a technical interview.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was similar to the first technical interview. I had to write a C program to print the prime numbers between 1 and 100 and a puzzle was asked again. Apart from this a guesstimate to find the number of cars between 2 places was asked and a scenario based question too was asked. These were followed by resume related questions.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: All the 26 students who attended the second technical round were allowed to attend HR round as well. This was just for 4 - 5 minutes. I was asked about my family background and why I should be hired. My fondest memories from school days were asked too. Finally offer letter was given to 10 students out of the 1600 who wrote the test :P

General Tips: Just keep a calm head and attempt the questions. Ask for time to think if you are not able to answer the questions immediately. Be bold and confident. That is sufficient :)
Skills: Puzzle Solving Capability, Ability To Think, SQL, C Programming
College Name: VIT Vellore

Total Questions: Online

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Shortlisted candidates were divided in groups of 9-10 students for group discussion. GD lasted for about 40 min.
Duration: 40 minutes

Round: Interview
Experience: Technical interview was of about 35 min. There was no hr interview. Questions were related to the projects that the candidate performed during his stay at IIT Roorkee. Two puzzles were also asked. Other questions were based on the answers that the candidate gave to the previous questions.

General Tips: This company looks for people with strong technical aptitude. So do not shy from showing all your projects. In other companies too many projects may lead them to believe that you are more interested in pursuing research and will leave the company soon. This may have a negative effect on other companies. But at Altair it is good to show all your projects, your research publications, any additional courses taken. Along with your technical projects it will be good if you could show them your coding ability. They are looking for technical people with a stint for coding.
College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Altair deals with engineering services, product design, and engineering finite element software development (eg. hypermesh, hypermath, etc). The profile for which it takes the new recruits is for engineering software code writer.
