Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I had a standard resume for this company as per our institute placement cell norms.
I usually changed my “Areas of Interest” as per the company profile. For Headstrong I mentioned subjects that dealt with coding and data structure.

Round: Test
Experience: First round was a written test containing 90 aptitude based questions and the time allotted for the same was 90 minutes. Questions were of high difficulty level; most of the questions based on probability, permutation and combination. 40 people were shortlisted out of the 180 applicants.
Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 90

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: In Group Discussion there were 11 people in my group. The topic for the discussion was the “impact of family drama daily soaps (saas bahu serials) on the society”. Almost all of us agreed to the fact that these serials were sending wrong message to the society. They were interested in students who were expressive. 3 people got selected from my group.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The first round was a technical interview. Questions related to my family and areas of interest were also asked though. Questions related to C++ were asked and the topic of data structure was their main focus. They asked me questions on linked list and other forms of data structure. Finally they asked few general puzzles too. This interview continued for around 20 minutes.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: In the HR interview, questions were asked on why they should choose me and why I had opted for Headstrong. They also asked which location I would prefer for the job. They wanted someone who would be comfortable with any location whether it be south or north India. This last interview was small and lasted around 5-10 minutes.
Tips: Preparation of puzzles foe the interview would be beneficial.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Most information regarding the company was obtained by attending the pre placement talk. The company did not check much about our knowledge related to the company but were more concerned with our technical knowledge.

I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed before Nov 2020. There were 3 interview rounds.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Indeed, being a person known for my communication skills in college days wished to have a resume, setting me out of the queue. It was not easy though ,as to write something so brief yet which had a strong impact on others. Take help from your teachers, the one taking your communicative skills classes.
Tips: The most important of all,,Take at most attention to what you platter on someone for the first time. No one wants a dull person working in adding on nothing but pounds on themselves. Showcase the best of you....

Round: Test
Experience: Elitmus, it's really tough to crack. Especially the Reasoning, try and focus to prepare as if to prepare for an MBA admission. The level would be no lessor than that.
Tips: One needs to work real hard to compete. That's the only option. It's the only way you had to get on the first step correctly.
Duration: 120 minutes
Total Questions: 60

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Good ,as always. Was bit nervous, after seeing such a crowd and as it was my first off-campus experience . People were friendly and only ladies from my company who were not very old but enough to judge one by just looking at them. They were closely monitoring each and every activity in there.
Tips: Be yourself, Don't panic at all. You just need to stick on your point of  view and never ever contradict any of your statement.
Duration: 15 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Had two technical rounds, the first one which went about 1hr 30 mins. Many questions starting from C to Java. In-fact it's better to say the lady wanted to know all what i have done in college. Was even asked about my last semester results and project.
Tips: No way out, just be prepared to the level of any possible question one can ask.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR was busy going through all papers he had. Even not looking at me for once. But i went on answering even to smallest he asked or confirmed. It was good overall but different as to relate someone not even listening you.
Tips: Go on with a good pitch. Using the good highlights from your life and yourself.

General Tips: Never loose heart if you are rejected anytime. As it's for the best, believe me.
Skill Tips: Prepare things well and before time. Try to main a set of handout which would really be helpful while you travelling from one place to another.
Skills: communication , technical, thought process
College Name: GANDHI INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
Motivation: Being placed during on campus, but not satisfied with package and what i was offered. Came to a place like Bangalore from GIET, Gunupur where life is so fast. It was not easy, mind you a lot people around would de motivate you. But just don't get affected easily ,as to this is what my experience all over this tells. 
I was just stunned when i saw the official website of CGI.
Funny Moments: Was not really funny but would share ,as i smile to those now. Not being selected by TCS and my roommate, girls in hostel making fun of  the optimistic approach i had with life.

I appeared for an interview before Sep 2016.
