Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: First round was online technical aptitude round. Around 60 students were shortlisted for interviews. Two rounds of interviews followed which revolves mostly around the concepts of DBMS, programming, logical reasoning and cloud computing(no idea why?). Only 12 were selected for second interview round out of which they selected only 5.

General Tips: Set your goals and sit for only those type of companies which match your aspirations.
Please do attend their PPTs as they can be very helpful in the interviews. Sometimes rejections happen only becuse we havn't attended their PPT. Try to cover atleast the basics of each topic that i told above. Be thorough with your concepts and speak confidently over there. Be strong in DSA, OS and one programming language especially.
Also prepare well for HR round as they can be really screwing as well. Cover topics like strengths/weaknesses, why you want to join their company, higher education(say no always) and reason for not going for it, why should they hire you, etc.
Do not panic, just always stay calm. Also listen carefully and with whole concentration to what they say. Always be patient, you will get a good company.
Also keep practicing your concepts even after you get placed. You will thank me later for this last point.
Skill Tips: DSA, OS, DBMS, C, JAVA, computer networks and puzzles are the most frequent things interviewers ask (in this order preference as well).
Forouzan for computer networks.Prefer online resources for preparation of C such as tutorialspoint, etc. Test your C skills by yeshwant kanetkar will also help you. For java, programmerinterview.com will help you prepare.
