Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: CGPA criteria of 7.5+ and 10th-12th criteria of 80% +
Round: Test
Experience: An online written test was conducted by cocubes in the campus. It was of 45 minutes and consisted of 40 questions (20 Quant, 10 LR, 10 Verbal). Quant had data interpretation questions, verbal consisted of reading comprehension.
Tips: Questions at the end of a segment were relatively easy. Try to leave the questions which are tough, and do them at the end. Do the easy ones first.
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: First they asked about me, and then started on my interests, which I told them finance and stock markets. Then they asked me about stocks, greece crisis, stock markets etc. One case study was also performed. It was easy and could be done right then.
Tips: Keep yourself calm, even if you cannot solve the puzzles tell them your approach.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: This was the toughest round. They asked me 2 puzzles and a guesstimate which was way too tough. They grilled me on technical things. They kept telling me that you are a technical mind, why you are joining a consultancy. Overall, they were nice.
Tips: Its good to read about the organisation and its work. You can correlate the questions then, like how your capabilities are matching with the job profile. You can ask them a good question. It proved handy to me in this interview.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: This was just a formality. They wanted to know whether finally you would join this company or not.
General Tips: Take the interview in the direction where you want. Tell them your interest right at the start, so that they can grill you on that only. There were no questions on minor training or projects. There was nothing on technical part as well. Throw in your AIEEE/JEE MAINS/Advanced rank, that was the time when you were at your best and it may escape you out of the problem. It did in my case. He started grilling me on my low CGPA (lowest out of selected candidates), low 12th%, I just threw my AIEEE rank and I was placed.
Skills: Aptitude, Verbal english, Guesstimation
College Name: MANIT Bhopal
Funny Moments: Well there were many.

What people are saying about EXL Service
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: First was an online aptitude round of 40 questions to be solved in an hour. Most questions were of average CAT level with few easy ones slipped in between them.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 40
Round: Other Interview
Experience: The second round of interview was one-on-one with a panel member, In the second round, questions asked were based on what I had written in my resume. Since, I said I had interest in finance and economics, I was asked about the reasons for rupee depreciation against dollar (hot topic at that time) and possible repercussions from it. Besides,few regular puzzles were asked.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: The third round started off with regular HR questions. After that, I was asked a guesstimation cum case study question about the price of an English newspaper in Mangalore given its targeted profit and also info was provided on costs of various logistics. Various costs had to be considered and English-reading population of Mangalore had to be guesstimated. After this, I was asked another puzzle, difficult compared to previous ones, solving which seems to have sealed the deal.
General Tips: For the HR questions, there are readily available blogs and sites which will give you the general framework of avoiding blunders and by-passing tricky questions along with a general answer. It's better to follow these and also add a tinge of your own individuality to it.
Skill Tips: The preparation stage was exhausting as one had to go through company profile, brush up Apti skills the night before etc. etc. depending on individual way of preparation. The first and foremost challenge is to go through Apti rounds coz that is where maximum elimination happens and generally, lot of people in NITK are pretty good at solving Apti questions accurately and quickly. Once, done with Apti, it all depends on how you express yourself at the interview and prove your knowledge and depth at things that you say you are good at.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: In the first stage, a written test having three sections (logic, math and English) was conducted. From this test, thirty six students made it to the interview stage. Both the second and the third stage were personal interviews.
General Tips: Solve few mathematical puzzles as well as general aptitude questions from various sources. It was not a very exhausting procedure, It was fair and simple. Clearing the first interview round was the main hurdle.
Skill Tips: In my opinion, the only two things that this company looks for is the student's ability to solve mathematical puzzles and to evaluate his or her communication and PR skills. Brush up on Problem-solving. Moreover, on a lighter note, it is very helpful if you just keep talking about your interests and how this has helped you shape the person that you are, as this would leave them with lesser questions to ask and check the students communication skills etc. simultaneously

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Questions are not difficult, Time management is very important. It was very well designed test our overall abilities and communication skills. Test was online conducted by cocubes. Out of 220+ students who attempted test, only 27 were selected to next round. I expected them to select some 70-80 after 1st round.
Tips: Questions carry 1/3rd negative marks. Don't try to answer questions in order, find out easy questions and solve them first, as I said earlier, Time management is very important. I attempted arithmetic reasoning first, English (Verbal ability) next and then mathematical ability.
Duration: 45 minutes
Total Questions: 40
Round: Interview
Experience: I focused more on my approach to solve the puzzle and that paid off. I didn't prepare for puzzles either so I tried to solve it in my own way and that might have impressed the interviewer. Some other questions like how many benches are there in this campus ? and If I wanted to start a Food center in the campus, How many customers can I expect etc questions were asked. These questions don't have any perfect answer but they see the way in which you attempt and explain it convincingly.
Tips: Be confident. If they ask anything, answer properly so If they ask questions like How many customers can I expect a day after starting a food court in your college, don't just give any random number, try to do some math and give a number so that you can explain why you gave that number .
Round: Interview
Experience: This Interview is one of the best Interview Experiences I had. I was Interviewed by one of the senior vice presidents of the company. I enjoyed answering it. I know my strengths and weaknesses and I was frank to state my weaknesses and explained how I will over come them in my work place and all. I was asked a lot of questions and some times the interviewer twisted questions to see If I'm answering sincerely or just giving fake answers to the questions. This interview went so well that I was sure of my selection after this round.
And Interestingly, of the 27 members that were selected to 1st round of Interviews, I was 10th one as names were written alphabet wise. But I was the first one to be called out for 2nd round Interview.
Tips: Be clear and Confident with your answers. Answer after thinking for a while, they won't expect instant answers. Remember what you have answered as they might ask the same question again and you might get caught answering differently ( This happens when you fake your experiences and answers). Be frank, Sincere. You know your strengths and try to state your strengths to them (They might not ask you to say your strengths, you have to include them in some answers). Think different and answer in a way that most others won't.
Round: Interview
Experience: As I was confident of my selection after 2nd round of Interview, I stuck to my plans and answered well. I think this round was just to see If I would Join the company or not.
Tips: Stick to what you have answered earlier, they might compel you to change your answers just to see If you are confident with your answers. Remember that Raju's Interview in 3 Idiots ? He will be asked to be more diplomatic but he rejects that Idea .. My Interview was also similar.
Skill Tips: Answers which you read in internet are not your experiences, so they aren't to be copied. Assess yourself and your answers have to reflect your experiences. I didn't prepare anything for Campus placements as I was confident of my skills. I took time in analyzing myself and the way in which I have to project myself in Interviews. I didn't prepare for GD's and PI's .
Skills: Analytic abilities, Convincing skills, Communication skills, My approach to problems, My attitude
