5 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: In the aptitude test there were 3 sections. Quantitative, Analytical and Verbal. In quantitative they were testing math skill like percentage problems, probability questions and twisted question. In Analytical mostly data-interpretation questions were asked.They were reasonably good questions which involved thinking.
Tips: In verbal reading-comprehension questions were given and we must have to thoroughly read the passages to answer correctly.
Duration: 275 minutes

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: There were a total of 11 students in the group discussion and we were given the topic of Business and Ethics. According to me there should be ethical values in every business and also the competition should not reach to a levelo where Big companies try to suppress smaller ones and grab the market share even though they are initially suffering losses.
Duration: 20 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I was asked mainly about C,C++ and data structures. And they even asked about networking and stuff like Operating
systems.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I was initially asked some puzzles and then they tested my communication skills and the way i look at real-world problems etc.

Skill Tips: Be thorough in all of your software subjects and don't neglect your communication and people skills because they count a lot in group discussions.All the best friends.
