Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: We were prepared for Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and Verbal Reasoning. But unlike most campus recruitment examinations, most of the questions here were from General Knowledge and Current Affairs. But most of these questions were school-level GK.
This written test was conducted on 2nd August. Results were declared on 8th August.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 60

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Although JCI is a core company, but the interviewer asked me questions from basic C and Java.
Tips: Keep the basics clear. And if you are from IT/CS, don't fret about the fact that they'll ask questions from electronics and electrical subjects as it is a core company. That is a mistake I made. Have strong knowledge about your own domain and you'll easily crack the interview. All the best!
