Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The first round was an online test conducted by hirepro.in. The round was 2 hours and went pretty swift aside from some really 'make or break' questions. As a mechanical Engineer and having next to little proficiency in programming, I was not astounded to find myself biting nails and clicking Flukes while glancing at the ever-incomprehensible coding questions. Me, With each question, seems like brandishing the bat in the air for all kinds of balls, whether bouncer or yorker, just for the only reason "I can't make a single thing out of these questions, let alone answer". The verbal and quantitative part was more friendly to me. I was able to answer almost 90% in those two sections. The questions framed were basic and doable with a month's or two's practice. The verbal section contained- Reading Comprehension, Word Synonym and antonym, Sentence Correction and Sentence orientation and ordering.
p.s: After giving the exam and ravaging the coding part, I saw my chances of getting shortlisted being one in a million. Still, with immense exultation, I got selected and was asked to go for the PI, as if they didn't consider the Programming part for mechanical engineering and for other core dept. students.
Tips: The only sutra to succeed in an online test is to stay cool during the exam and to have a healthy breakfast in the morning before the exam.
For the verbal part, start reading omnivorously and focus on sentence formation patterns. At last, Indiabix.com always comes as the saviour. For maths part needs a lot of Practice. Always, start the preparation for apti earlier than your peers: great way to get a heads up. STAY COOL AND BANG THE GAME.
