Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Written round having coding 3 coding questions. All the questions were aimed at testing the DSA fundamentals of the students. The questions were not too difficult or complicated. The main catch in this round was whether the student could write a clean code covering all the test cases possible. The boundary cases were the most important test cases that they were looking for.

Round: PERSONAl interview
Experience: Around 18 students were shortlisted from the written round for the personal interviews. The PI started with a group round. Basically this round was to judge the thought process of students for a given problem statement. There was no elimination after this round.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The technical interviews were elimination based rounds. The technical rounds were DSA based mainly. A few questions based on OS, DBMS, Networks were also asked but these were just the basic questions. The first 15 mins of each interview was based on the resume- basically questions on your projects, challenges faced, how you overcame those challenges etc. So be sure you are well revised with your resume. The last 10 mins was meant for the candidates to ask questions to the interviewers. Make most of these 10 mins because the questions that you ask reflects greatly upon your inclination towards the company. Moreover a great last 10 mins can easily make up for some mistakes that you did during your technical interviews.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR round was just a formality. For our batch everyone who reached the HR round got selected. So if you make it to the HR round that means the company is genuinely interested in taking you.

General Tips: No tips. No hints. No use repeating the same usual stuff again. All the interviews are different. Just be confident and enter the interview room. Rest all will fall in place automatically. Citing an instance from my interview, I started my first technical interview by mentioning my hobby as eating food. The next 10 mins was spent discussing the different places that I have tried in and around mangalore. The interview even went on to ask some nice place to eat ( and he actually went there that night . The point I am trying to emphasize is that interviewers like people who are quite confident and open during the interviews. If you try to fake things then they are smart enough to catch you.
The whole placement process was really exhausting and frustrating. Each rejection just added to the frustration. But finally making the cut was the most rewarding experience of my life and made all the frustration, rejection, exhaustion seem worth it.
Make sure you do a proper background research about the company- their products, their business market etc. Make sure you ask questions during their ppt and give answers to the questions that they throw at you. This will bring you to their notice.
Skill Tips: The Job profile offered is of Software Development Engineer. Ask questions regarding the growth of the company, the competition that they are currently facing in the market. Even ask about any paradigm shifts that the company is currently undergoing. Ask about you role in the company, your growth, the technology you will be working on etc.
