Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Test was open to everyone regardless of CPI. Test was totally based on CAT format. A person preparing for CAT could easily score well. They selected 21 people out of around 800 who appeared for the test.
Tips: Everyone sitting for the placements prepare for Aptitude and LR+DI, but they ignore verbal part. That is the game changer.
Duration: 3 hours
Total Questions: 60

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: This round went for 35 min. It was a face to face interview. I was the third one and because of that I was asked rather simpler case study questions than those who went after me. For the second case study question I couldn't think of a third parameter and I took some time for thinking it. Ultimately my answer was different that one in the mind of the interviewer but he liked my answer.
At the end he asked me if I wanted to ask anything. That was the time when I struck a conversation with him. I asked about the future of Ola and when are they expecting to become profitable business. I think he was impressed by seeing the interest I was showing towards Ola.
Tips: 1. Always be confident about your answers and keep a gentle smile on your face.
2. You can take a time of 30-50 seconds before answering a question. That is totally ok.
3. It is Ok to be nervous. They try to get you in comfort zone.
4. If you are going on right track during a case they will help you in coming to an answer.
5. When they ask you if you have something to ask, use this opportunity very wisely. If you are able to strike a conversation, then that can even cover up your previously fucked up answers.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: 4 people were selected for this round and 2 of them were to be selected after this round. This round was on skype and went for some 50 min. Some answers were prepared and some answers were not. I was totally honest in giving all the answers. For almost every answer I gave some justification from my resume. I told him strictly that I don't know coding and I am not interested in that. Mine was the very last interview. During the last 10 min it was looking like it has become a conversation rather than an interview.
Tips: 1.During HR interviews they try to judge what kind of person you really are. So be 100% honest and DO NOT try to fake things or even exaggarate.
2. Try to justifify every answer through your resume.
3. HR questions are very limited, prepare for each one and try to formulate your experience in the form of short stories to make it more attractive.
4. Try to show HR that you are very excited to work at Ola but you also equally respect the companies where you did your internships.

Skills: Thought Process, Communication And Confidence
College Name: IIT Kanpur
