Round: Test
Experience: It was allowed for all the students even thought after keeping the cut off as 6.5. There was a less turnout to the company. There was an aptitude test for ece/eee ( there was java test for cse/mca). There was sectional cutoff. For aptitude they gave 50 questions for 1:10 min. The cutoff is 60% in aptitude. It is quite easier and a little grip on aptitude will do the trick (aptitude includes verbal too). There was only 7 students who got shortlisted from ece/eee.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The main criteria for this company is your 10th and 12th maths marks. They asked me to explain my summer and final year project. Some basic HR questions like What motivates you, How do u see yourself in this company. It is so simple that you need not fear at all.

General Tips: If your 10th and 12th standard maths grades are superb then you are almost in to the company. They wont ask anything on core and software. They just ask projects. Its the simplest interview i have ever faced. So keep calm and be confident.
The overall experience was quite easy. It selection process started at 11am and i got offer at 4 pm. The interviewer was friendly.
Skill Tips: It was not aiming at all for this company. A firm grip on aptitude skills is enough if you are from ece/eee. If you are from cse/mca your java skills should be good to cross the cutoff. Just practice aptitude from any book you find.
Don't panic at all. As this was my 7th interview i was not at all nervous. Every one in the campus will get placed for sure. Just wait for the time to come. Keep preparing for the companies daily and always have a good grip on your projects. It will be asked in every company all most.
