Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: 2 technical rounds.
In the beginning of each technical round they gave me a form to rate myself (in a scale of 10) in different areas like Programming, Data structure, Operating system etc. Then they started asking questions from the areas which have higher ratings.
Both round of technical interviews took almost 1.2 hours each.
Tips: During interview don't rush for a quick response, think and verify before providing a solution.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: They gave their own ratings on those areas and that was reviewed by the HR. HR round was quite simple for me. A lady took the interview. She asked some few simple questions and my preference for the job profiles.

General Tips: Symantec didn't care about GPA or the M.Tech thesis.
