I applied via campus placement at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati and was interviewed in Dec 2017. There were 2 interview rounds.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Although it was mentioned that there will be a resume shortlist but it did not happen in our case. The cpi cutoff for writing the test was 6.0. It was an aptitude test - 40 ques 45 mins (20 Quant/DI, 10 LR, 10 Verbal). The questions were in the average range. One just needs to solve as many correct questions as possible. Around 55 students were selected for the interviews.

General Tips: Practice aptitude. If you do not clear the test then there is no use of all the knowledge you have. Practice puzzles, guesstimates and probability questions. You should know EVERYTHING that is in your CV. Just stay cool and you will surely excel in exl.
