Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I got my resume short listed and they called me form an interview but since its a big company and I had to wait for a long time so there was a delay in this and I had to take it up because we have to sacrifice to get something. But for all the interviews I will be in time because it's my attitude I always follow the time lines. And after waiting for more then a hour one of the recruiter came and collected all the information and testimonials from me and asked me to follow her. Then she let me into the interview room and asked me to sit and as usual she told me be comfortable and if you need some water, I said thanks and then she told me to wait and I shall be back I thanked her. Then after twenty minutes she entered in and she started of with my interview, as usual about my self and my experience I was very comfortable with this particular thing and was very confident so she liked the ways I spoke and expressed.
Tips: Best is to be in time for the interview, first impression is the best impression the rest of is not in our hands if your luck with the interview you get a job if not no. Just don't get frustrated try until you succeed

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: The general discussion went on well I was very confident and answered all but when it came to technical I was like started stammering because I never expected that they would ask in depth techincal questions. I was way behind my experience since I was not a technical guys but I use to recruit technical guys just explaining the job description to them thorough but this experience was little very different to me.
Tips: Never expect the unexpected you won't get what you want but you will get what you don't need

Round: Technical Inteview
Experience: As I was not in more from the technical side and was not able to answer to the questions they told me they will get back to us.
Tips: When they say this you just look for another job immediately

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: It included quantitative ability questions and a few subjective coding type questions. Nothing known about cutoff as almost major chunk of people appearing for the test were called for the interview.The criteria for test is mainly on CGs and at timesdepartments too.There are rare companies like BCG, DB who actually refer your resumes for interviews without tests.
Duration: 1 hour minute

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: 2 rounds of interview were there – first the technical interview which included questions on your resume. Detailed questionson every point you have mentioned, cross checking whether you really know aboutit at times asking you for examples. No speed math was included. The interview was purely on all the stuff mentioned in the resume.
Tips: Study the resume thorough with every point mentioned. Questionswere asked about things externally related (not in the resume) to stuffmentioned as part of skills. So while exaggerating any point be aware of everyfact about it.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR interview included personal level questions like tell me about yourself, where you hail from, positives, negatives, why cognizant, why non-core, how do you see yourself after 2-3 years etc.The second stage may depend upon GDs or interviews. In this case it was purely one –on-one interview in both rounds.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Mentioned about R a tool used in analytics and was talked about linear and logistic regression. Questions about Big Data Analysis and hadoop etc were asked.

General Tips: Its better to start from August solving CAT papers which helps a lot. Purefin certifications do help for companies like DB, Futures First, Nomura and all. Read only quantitative and a few previous years’ case studies (googled as per the company). Read one to two cases everyday and discussions related to them on the internet and write relevant points in some notebook at times searching for terms or phrases. Read the newspaper daily be it times or even the economic times – know whats happening in the world. They may ask you questions like – whats happening in the world. Be sure to answer them with what they would like to hear rather than what you would like to talk on.The situation is better for non core companies because majority of them don’t see the word department while recruiting from iit. Both for non-core or core: give your best for every round andeven if you don’t get selected for first round you can try to push your resumein on spot interview calls for companies you really want to be part of.Although it isn’t fair play but that’s what happens from Placemnt season day 2.And if the rest do it there's no point regretting than to be a part of it.
