Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The techinical aptitude test was above average level and had conceptual problem . Some good questions were there from C,C++.
persistent basically concentrates on every subject and now a days also concentrate more on software engineering.
C.C++,OS,DBMS,Computer Architecture,Networking and some microprocessor part was covered in those 60 quesn of technical.
Then 20 min for programming .Immediately after that 10 min for essay writing.
Tips: Most of the times we are prepared for interview but not for technica aptitude .
The test requires sound basic knowledge of each field ,do prepare software engg questions well .At least 45+ correct questions would give chance of next round if code done is correct .
The code is evaluated only if you qualify in tech apti.
File handling program may be tough and tricky one,rest all are easy.
Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 60

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: tech 1 :
my project was in AI so related questions first ,he wanted a basic intro of all.

S : told him about A* algo,fleming bird algo,salesperson problem .(took lot of time)
I : explain me this project
S : told him some of conditions as all were not possible ,some talk on optimization of length of code etc.
I : So tell me about programming sites
S : told them all about codechef,hackerrank,spoj.
I : Now say i have char ch='n' my name starts with n say how will it get stored
I : so what all microprocessor has
I : how many type of interrupts , and in detail eg (I wasnt sure ,gave eg but told that i was not sure)

I tried a lot he kept talking on mobile for 5 min (worst part).
