Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: There was one programming question to be solved and submitted. The question was based on Travelling salesman problem
Tips: Be familiar with rather popular questions
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 1

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The first thing the interviewer did was to take a look at my resume and asked me to tell about the projects i had done. I explained a few that i thought were the better ones. Then he asked about the areas of interest. I mentioned about AI and then we discussed my AI project in detail. After that he asked the above mentioned questions. I answered all of them as they were pretty standard and can be found online easily.
Tips: Search for previous interviews and go through the questions and answers. They help a lot. Also be prepared about everything on your resume

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Nothing more to tell. Asked mostly standard HR type questions
Tips: Prepare yourself for all the cliched HR questions

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviewer saw my resume and e also asked me about my interests. He saw that I had completed machine learning on coursera. So we started discussed ML a great deal (as it turned out later, the guy worked on ML). It started from basic gradient descent, stochasticgradient descent, K means clustering, recommender systems. Our discussion on recommender systems continued to types and uses of different systems in different contexts e.g. how is a movie recommender different to at of Amazon (this was because I told him that i was doing a course on recommender systems). Between all this we also discussed some puzzles and some physics(as it was one of my interests)

I applied via Campus Placement

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The Aptitude test consisted of 60 questions to be completed in a duration of 60 minutes. The questions were very simple and the key here was to be quick in solving puzzles and problem solving. Next, there was an online coding round which consisted of 3 questions to be completed in a duration of 60 minutes. The questions here were also very basic including topics from pointers and strings. Overall, the test was easy to crack and didn't need any prior preparation.
Tips: Just practice some aptitude tests online. Also, be thorough with the basics of pointers and strings for the coding round.
Duration: 120 minutes
Total Questions: 63

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The group discussion was totally driven by the hiring team. They chose the speaker and went through each of us one by one. It was a pretty short Group discussion.
Tips: Just listen to everyones points and keep noting your arguments down. If you are chosen to start the GD, then you will be most probably chosen to conclude it too. So, try to take everybody's opinions and shape a precise and to-the-point conclusion.
Duration: 15 minutes

General Tips: Just be cool throughout the process. It has nothing that can be prepared for.
Skill Tips: Practice. Practice. Practice.
Skills: Basic Coding, General Aptitude
Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: The projects described in the Internship description were quite interesting.
Funny Moments: Got selected without a single interview! That's partly disappointing since we didn't get to discuss our intern profiles with them. It's funny that such a huge company can hire interns without even having an interview. It's not funny though.

I was interviewed before May 2016.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test was conducted through Cocubes. It was moderately difficult. Some of the questions are time taking. We need to be decisive in attempting such questions.
Tips: Need to manage time properly. Should assess and choose which questions to attempt and which ones to leave.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 30

Round: Test
Experience: The three questions are of three different levels.

1. You will be given two numbers. The first one is the starting point and the second one is the ending point of a range of integers. You have to count the number of integers in that range which are divisible by the first number.

Ex : INPUT : 3 18
OUTPUT : 6

2. You will be given a number. You have to find the sum of the digits. If the sum exceeds 9, you have to add the digits of the sum recursively until you a get a single digit sum.

EX : INPUT : 9999
OUTPUT : 9

Explanation: 9999 => 9 +9+9+9=36 => 3+6 =9

3. You will be given an array of characters which include ( L, R , or a number in the range '0' to '9'). A ball is kept on a line of integers initially kept at zero. The ball has to execute the instructions sequentially as follows:
(i) If an 'L' character is encountered, the ;position of the ball has to be decremented.
(ii) If an 'R' character is encountered, the position of the ball has to be incremented.
(iii) If an integer (in the range '0' to '9) is encountered , we have to go to that index in the array and execute the instruction present in that index.

Finally, after all the instructions are executed, you have to print the final position of the ball.

EX : INPUT :
Number of instruction : 5
Instructions: LR1R2

OUTPUT : 3

Explanation :
(i) Initially, the ball is at 0. Since the 0th index in the array is 'L' , the ball moves to 0-1= -1 position.
(ii) The 1st index is 'R' hence, the position of the ball is -1 +1 = 0 position.
(iii) The 2nd index is '1', hence we have to go to index 1 in the array which is 'R', hence the new position is 0+1 =1.
(iv) The 3rd index is 'R', hence the new position is 1 +1 =2.
(v) The 4th index is '2' , hence we have to go to 2nd index is '1' , hence we have to go again to 1st index , which is 'R' hence the final position is 2+1 =3.

Tips: We need to solve all the three the problems to have better chances of clearing this round.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 3

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview was focussed majorly on coding. It went for about 45min with around 10 coding problems given to solve. Some basics of Computer networking are also tested in this round.
Tips: Be prepared with some basics of networking. As the company's main focus is on Telecom, good knowledge in telecom and networking would be a big advantage.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This round was focused on the aptitude and reasoning skills. Some puzzles were given in this round. These puzzles are of moderately complex and are more common ones in interviews. Like the (find the heavier ball among three balls using a balance in min no. of attempts).
Tips: Sometimes the interviewer tries to confuse. You need to be confident with your answers and explaination.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview was more of a traditional HR round. Majorly concentrated on the final year project, personal strengths and weaknesses.
