Round: Technical Interview
Experience: After this, selected candidates were interviewed that consists of 4 rounds and discussion was mostly on your CV and data structure problems.

General Tips: Be honest with your interviewer. If you are not comfortable in 1 topic, tell your interviewer honestly. Do well in other areas. Look for hints from the interviewer if you get stuck. They want to see how you approach a problem.
Skills: Algortihm, Data structure
College Name: IIT DELHI

Round: Test
Experience: I was really frustrated because of the rejection from previous companies and in the same time deeply determined to convert this one as this was the last company offering the profile of Business Analyst. I can say this based on my experience that converting a company is solely a matter of your preparation and self-confidence but a tad bit of luck is also a necessity.
Tips: I have been particularly lucky and so have been all the serious CAT aspirants in the online tests. It is not that you need to enroll in TIME with the word go, but rather analyzing your calculation speed, your communication and interpretation skills can do you wonders.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 50

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Obviously the topic was on Indo-Sino relations, which I was quite aware of. As this a topic on foreign policy, very few people were actually aware of this topic, so I had an obvious advantage. This is the most trite advice but still I will say this "Read, Read,Read".
Tips: There are always some people who are well informed of the given topic and some who are not and it is always helpful to be in the first group in GDs. I like to be up to date on current affairs and at the same time reading novels from the likes of Shashi Tharoor and my personal favorite Khaled Hosseini prepared me for group discussions. It is always helpful to proceed by looking @ the problem from different perspectives like legal, social, academic and technical or else if you are particularly unlucky you might face an abstract topic, where you might need to use your imagination, like one my friend faced "Yellow shoes with pink laces". Even now I cannot aptly describe this topic.

Skills: Communication Skills, Calculations, Verbal, Knowledge on current affairs
College Name: NIT BHOPAL
Motivation: My only motivation was the post the company was offering. As it will be helpful for future plans of working in an Investment Bank or pursuing an MBA.
Funny Moments: In the Interview round, they asked me why do you want join this company. In reply I started with the word 'Firstly' and said because of its profile and did not not think of the second reason and they asked this very thing. I took my moment and realized honesty is best possible way now and replied that you are last non-core company visiting this campus and if you guys reject me I might leave this campus unplaced (because of my weak technical background). On hearing this they started laughing and at that very moment I knew I might not after all.

Round: Test
Experience: They did not expect any code in this round. An algo or pseudo code is fine.



1) You are given 2 vessels with capacity M liters and N liters capacity and infinite supply of water. You need to find the minimum number of steps required to get P liters. Any of the below action is considered a step



     a) Filling vessel with water



     b) Emptying vessel



     c) Pouring water from one vessel to another vessel.



2) Given n sets each containing m integers. You need to create MinDiff set by picking exactly 1 element from each set. The difference between the maximum and minimum elements in the MinDiff set should be minimum.



eg: for the sets {30, 20, 10, 40},{ 22, 33, 44, 99},{ 16, 17, 18, 19} min diff set is {19, 20, 22}. Max and min elements in MinDiff set are 22 and 19 and their difference is 3.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: 1) you will be given the binary representation of the numbers in the form of 2D array.eg: r1- 00001

r2- 00100

r3- 01010

r4- 00110

r5- 00111 This means the elements are 1, 4, 10 , 6 and 7.

A number “n” is given. Let us say that n can be formed by doing bitwise OR operation on rows of given matrix. What is the minimum number of rows that needs to be deleted from the matrix so that “n” can never be formed by doing the OR of the rows.

If n is 14(01110) then it can be formed by doing r2|r3 or r3|r4. You can prevent n formation either by deleting {r2,r4} or {r3}. But {r3} has least number of elements so it is the required set.2) Find the average of mid 50% of elements in the running stream of integersI have not cleared round-II so no further questions.
