Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The question was a little bizarre , and was open ended. The interviewers were able to provide corner cases and counter examples for my solutions, but they too couldn't lead towards the write solution. In the end they asked me to think over it. They asked me more basic questions on NLP as it was my research interest, but I was able to answer them.
Tips: Know what you know and what you don't know. Keep talking to the interviewer and follow the aloud thinking process. Keep the interviewer in the loop with you.

Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: He asked me to do a simple puzzle on his mobile where i have to rearrange vertices of a graph to follow some condition. I didn't know the solution but i kept trying, trying to solve one case after another. Turned out, wasn't that difficult.

Round: Group Activity
Experience: Five students were shortlisted for this, 3 questions were given for it. We had to solve them and discuss our solutions later with the interviewers. The questions weren't difficult, it was just how you told them their solutions and how you answered their counter arguments .

Skill Tips: Read your resume thoroughly and go through your research interests carefully.
Skills: Programming, Research Interests, Resume reading
