Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Duration: 1 hour

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The first round of interview was identifying your interest and testing it. I told I am good at Math and Fin and I was asked all probab and Fin questions. Many others were asked Guesstimates and Puzzles
Tips: Be confident and keep talking and keep interacting, even when you are struggling- it's more about the ideas you put on the table than the answers. Be thorough in basics of probab including all kinds of distribution and all.
Also the job is for analysing Credit Card usage. And it is a gloabla financial firm. So for questions like, "Tell about yourself" or "Walk me through the resume", keep telling how you are good at handling data. And if you have Fin background, pitch about it.

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: The interview was mostly a stress interview. They kept telling me that I am somehow not so good for the job and my knowledge in the field is insufficient. And I kept convincing them back that I am indeed a good candidate.
Tips: Keep calm. Prepare HR questions perfectly. You should talk to them as if you are dying too get this job and detail it to them that you are the best candidate for this job. You have to tell them that you have some special capability that others don't (I told about my knowledge in Fin). And you should be really special in that and be able to answer anything.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Basic HR questions to test if you are really serious about the hjob and firm. If you did previous 2 intervies well, this must be a cakewalk.
Tips: Be ready to give answers convincing them that this job is the most important thing in your life

Skills: Mathematical Aptitude, Probabiity, Finance, Conversation Skills

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test was for two and half hours where 1 hour was for general aptitude, 1 hr was for coding aptitude(either on java or C or C++as you choose) and 1/2 an hour for two coding questions.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In technical round they asked puzzles, aptitude questions and basic C coding. I was asked to write the code for two questions(one was on sort and search) and was asked the logic of two questions.They asked basics of linked lists, stacks, queues. Infact they were not very interested in the syntax and were pressing on the logic

General Tips: Being a non software branch students is not at all a problem. The company took 4 interns where 3 were from core branches. The fact that we had to work in JAVA and most of us didn't know JAVA, the company only looks for aptitude and ability to learn. So if you don't know anything, tell frankly that you don't know that part, rather than guessing. Be thorough with what you know and confidentially answer all the questions.
Also do not be tensed and take things lightly, if the interviewer is joking. Be candid.
Skill Tips: Learn basics of coding from books . Aptitude can be done from sites likes geeks for geeks, etc. The level of aptitude is not very high and infact the coding aptitude is also theoretical and does not involve in depth knowledge.
