So, it's in the hands of the candidate to turn the tide of questions in his favor by ending the answer to the last question on a positive note. The next  question that the interviewer asks will be based on the last answered question.You will get the common puzzles on googling. Just write " 25 horses puzzle" and " 100 doors puzzle".

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: It was not a group discussion to be exact. It was more like an extempore. We were given 2-3 minutes before starting, to think about the topic and then the coordinator would call out a name and that person had to speak for about 2 minutes or so, after which the coordinator would call another name.
Tips: Take a paper with you to write down the points.
Always make short points and elaborate on your own. Don't write down the whole paragraph. It wastes a lot of time.
Don't deviate from the topic. Just make sure whatever you speak, in favor or against, should make sense.
Do not use any fake accent.
