Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: This was pen paper written round. All question were technical. Questions were from topics like Java, GIT, SQL and Linux mostly and all were the basic questions of the topics. There were 2 programming questions as well. Basic string array manipulation related. Time allotted is 60 min. If your basics are clear this wont be tough. Also depends on the peers performance giving the test.

Round: Screening by a Sr.
Experience: By now u are already selected. This Sr. person will tell u more abt the work and what u shud expect. Also u can also any questions to him as well, kindof last chance to clarify your doubts before joining because after this u will be given offer letter post salary negotiation by HR.

General Tips: Stay calm and confident. It happens that we mention something in resume' which we had worked on in past but now the concepts are rusted. In such cases straight away tell them u forgot instead of trying to guess the answer. In case u dont know a concept then accept it and dont fool around with some random answer. Basically in case u r going for a guess it shud be on some logical grounds.
