Round: Test
Duration: 30 minutes
Total Questions: 30

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: The interview started with a 'tell me about your resume' question and the interviewers built it up as a stress interview in the initial 5 min burst. After that, the interviewers opened up and tried to make me comfortable, asking me about my passions and interests. After a 5-7 minute discussion on this, they moved to puzzles. They asked me a mathematical puzzle of magic square and a logical puzzle. Further, they gave me a case to devise a strategy to market a Nokia phone(not a smartphone) in your city, viz and viz the target population, urban rural divide etc.
Tips: Be confident and think out loud while solving your puzzles. Even if you're not able to get to the correct answer, if your thought process is going in the right direction, they will guide you.
