Interview Preparation Tips
• PREPARE FOR APTITUDE TESTS. Many of us believe that our profile will lead us getting
shortlisted on resume basis. That may be true, but I have not seen a process as random as
placements. It might happen that you are getting closely rejected in 3-4 firms for which you have
prepared. In such a case, having a good aptitude will give you more no. of shortlists, which will give
you a psychological security to fall back. APTITUDE PREPARATION IS BORING, so you may start it
and then leave it. Don’t do it. It is the only thing that is going to be with you in case something
unexpected happens.
• Be prepared for random and unexpected events like unexpected shortlisting results, irregularities in interview procedures etc.
• Prepare in a group, and help each other. The entire placement preparation phase is very taxing,
and support from people around you helps.
Dont’s :
• Don’t leave things for the end.
• Don’t underestimate yourself. Don’t overestimate yourself too.
• Don’t have pre-conceived notions about anything: no. of people a company is going to hire, who is
better than you, who is worse than you etc. Let the company decide what they want.
Final Tips :
• Prioritize the sectors and analyse your chances.
• Don’t keep too high or too low expectations from yourself.
• PREPARE APTITUDE. If you don’t get placed in big firms, aptitude is your only fall back.
• Be prepared for unexpected outcomes.
• Trust yourself for what you know, because there are a lot of things and you cant know everything.
The interview is driven by what you write on your resume. Know what you write.
• In all preparation aspects, one never gets a feeling of satisfaction. Due to paucity of time and so
much pressure around, we are unable to do things as per our expectations. So don’t worry too
much. Give ample time to things, but don’t overdo them.
• Go to the interview empty-headed. Thinking too much about things makes you feel nervous. An empty mind works most efficiently.

- Q1. Justification for the times of iteration required to check the number if it is prime number in c language

Skills evaluated in this interview
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: It was held couple of days before their interview process. Test consisted of Quant, Logical reasoning and Verbal Ability, similar to CAT pattern but was comparatively easy. They shortlisted approximately 80 students for interview process.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: It was a mix of mostly HR + few probability questions. It was a 40min interview. It was a good interview as I was able to answer all his question and could easily solve the probability questions.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It was all technical wherein the interviewer asked me 4-5 puzzles and some probability questions. I was able to answer most of the puzzles correctly but got stuck in one of the probability questions.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Final HR round. Here the interviewer was continuously grilling me by stating that my profile is not coherent with their job description. I maintained my composure and was able to handle the situation with ease.
General Tips: Do’s :
Apart from all preparation :
• Take proper sleep whenever given a chance to. Do not skip meals.
• Prepare about the company in advance, last minute preparation might lead to a panic situation. Ask your friends (not sitting in placements) to help you prepare.
• Take someone to the interviews. He/She will manage your interviews accordingly. It’s also a motivating factor.
• Always carry a smile when going to an interview. You should not appear stressed.
Don’ts :
• Don’t try to delay things. Prepare a timeline for preparation. Don’t accumulate things post end sem, because you will have to appear for a lot of tests after that. Hence you get limited time for preparation.
• Don’t be in a false assumption that if you possess a strong profile (PORs, Extra currics etc.) you will make it through the interviews. It can only help you fetch an interview. You have to work hard to clear that interview.

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: During EXL, the first interview was a totally stressful one. The interviewer was interrupting me all the time and countering me when I was answering him. Then he gave me a puzzle, which seemed fairly easy to me. But as I started on the puzzle, he started asking me about my hobbies to interrupt me again. I patiently answered the question and then solved the puzzle. He gave me 2 more puzzles, which again I was able to solve. Then, he asked me to give an approach for a guess estimate, which I was able to do easily. My preparation on Cases, Puzzles and Guesstimates was fairly low as compared to others. But I was able to solve them because I was very relaxed in the interview.
Tips: Keeping calm is imperative.
Round: HR interview
Experience: The second round was a complete HR interview. All the questions were either from my resume or about my interest in EXL. Once, he was through with them, he asked me a puzzle which I’d never heard before. But I was able to solve it with a small hint from the interviewer.
Tips: It is important to think loud and let the interviewer know what is going through your mind.
General Tips: Do’s –
Manage Time well, try to attend all classes so that you don’t have to study too much before the exams (or simply choose such courses).
Try to keep your personal database of which companies you’ve applied for, which day are they coming and what your status of preparation for them is etc.
If you have more than 1 interview in a slot, try to take a friend along with you who can attend your calls when you’re in an interview. Even if you have 1 interview, still I’d recommend taking a friend along with you. Talking with a friend always eases pressure.
Stay Relaxed. You might have to wait for 2-3 hours for your interview slot.
Don'ts-
Don’t waste time in the semester. Prepare.
Don’t get nervous in the interview. You might not be able to solve a puzzle or a case if you are nervous. Try to be as normal as you can be.
Don’t rely heavily on one company. A company might reject you on the basis of a small mistake. Prepare for more than one.

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.
