College Name: IIT Madras

Round: Test
Experience: There were totally 8 sections to the test. But they could be broadly put under 4 categories. Firstly all questions were compulsory to attempt and there was no negative marking. Aptitude: Basic quantitative math questions were asked. There was one simple programming question where one could code in C/Java in your local IDE and upload the code file. It was a DO or DIE question, either you get the question and proceed to the next questions of the test or the test gets stopped if the code is not successfully compiled within 5 attempts. This programming question, as was told was an important criteria to filter out candidates for the next round. There was a descriptive question asking about a recent team project done.

Round: Technical + HR Interview

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Had a fun time giving 5 rounds back to back

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I cleared first round (technical), then there was a coding round, then after that a GD round. I cleared that as well. Now after clearing 3 rounds, around 17 students (8 girls, 9 guys) out of 142 that applied were shortlisted for final interview including me. They only interviewed women, and ghosted all of the men. Didn't interview even a single one of us. It was so frustrating since we were there in the campus from around 10 AM in the morning, cleared 3 rounds and then they suddenly decided they had diversity hiring. Atleast tell us before hand !!
