Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test had three sections:
1.aptitude:It was like any other aptitude test,all it takes is a bit of practice to crack all the questions

Round: HR Interview
Experience: After the hr round,only seven were shortlist,this interview round was very much easy and they checked my approach to the given problem,they were checking how well i am thinking adding complexities to the given problem
Tips: they did not check my programming ability,but just problem solving skills,so be good at aptitude,by practicing as much as you can

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: after technical interview,4 were shortlisted,so they went for gd round,it was general topic,which checks your general knowledge
Tips: Dont be nervous,just speak what ever you know,never mind language issues

Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 30

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: I was asked to explain project in detail, I had done projects on embedded, so was asked about that, details like what fields did you use in that structure, why this implementation and not some related other. Memory management, network communications, operating systems. Then questions on C concepts like memory allocation, function pointers, then data structures like linked lists, then bit manipulation in registers. Questions from electrical coursework. Then later, why higher studies, would you still go for higher studies if you had a good job at a company, why etc.
Tips: Be thorough with C (know your Kernighan & Ritchie) and be prepared to go into details about your projects.
