Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I used only one resume for all the companies that I applied in. I mentioned about my extra-curricular activities and my projects with the projects relevant to the profile on offer getting higher priority.

Round: Test
Experience: For the aptitude questions the preparations for the CAT examination that I had done earlier in the year proved to be availing. Whereas for the technical questions I studied topics like fluid machinery and IC engines.

The first round in Mu Sigma was the aptitude test. The test pattern was CAT based, but the difficulty level was pretty mediocre compared to CAT papers.
Tips: There was time constraint in the test. Therefore I would recommend you to practise some questions before appearing for the test to improve your speed.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview began by the interviewer asking me some HR questions. The last question I responded saying that Mu Sigma is company catering to the needs of solution seeking companies. To this the interview asked me come up with a problem that I felt the company would have to deal with and also an efficient solution to the same. I designed a problem which was related to the loss in sales of Refrigerator and I solved it using the 4P concept. Then they asked me a puzzle which was that in a room of height 100m to ropes are hanging one of 120m and another of 60m and your height is 10m then what is the maximum length of rope that you can cut.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Mu Sigma is a company that deals with data so I went through their site and found what it does. Later the other queries related to the company were cleared by attending the pre placement talk.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I consulted my seniors for preparation of my resume. I believe that seniors provide the best provide you with the best possible insights in this regards.

Round: Test
Experience: The first round was the written test. The duration of the test was half an hour. The test consisted of questions on data interpretation, logical reasoning and analytics. The questions were pretty easy. The company shortlisted a lot of candidates for the Group Discussion (GD).

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview was, as I would call it, an HR and a puzzle based interview. Some questions from probability were also asked. The puzzles asked were tricky but easy at the same time. I cannot recall any of the puzzles that were asked.
Tips: Before appearing for the interview, I would suggest you to solve puzzles from a book named ‘Out of the Box’; the book contains some really good puzzles.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The written test had various sections. After the written test which was held online, few students were shortlisted for the interview process. There were a total of three rounds of interviews.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The questions asked from all the candidates in all the rounds were quite similar in nature. They were asking puzzles, numerical reasoning based questions and things which would require use of your analytical skills. The questions weren’t difficult and one can easily find them on placement preparation sites. They also tested me on my knowledge of core engineering subjects to ascertain whether I am serious about the tasks I have in hand.

They also asked few normal HR questions. Some of them were about my short term and long term goals and where do I see myself after three years. They also asked me the reason for shift to a non-core field company.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: I had appeared for the placement process for Mu Sigma as arranged by the placement committee of my college. There was no resume based selection and neither there was any group activity. The major criterion for being able to appear for the written test was the CGPA.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Half an hour test which had 5 C questions, 10 math and 10 on simple English.
Duration: 30 minutes

Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: Preliminary Round: One Puzzle and a question on probability, I Couldn't answer that puzzle so I started talking about my internship in a great detail and this helped me to get to the next round.

General Tips: It will be of great help if you can solve simple mathematics problems with speed - CAT type.
Skill Tips: Make Sure you do all the common puzzles before you go to interview, E.g 100 gold coin/pirate one which keep repeating.
