Sify Technologies Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Round: Test
Experience: My written test went great , there were aptitude as well as technical questions, and as I was solving both of them on a daily basis, clearing written was a cakewalk for me. But as other students were also preparing for the same, so I was not sure whether I will be selected or not. Because Mahindra Comviva came in the second month of recruitment process, there was a nice competition for the written test as well.
Tips: Be prepared for the technical. You may think that you will be to answer that easily because you are in final year of your college but you might need to brush up everything you have learnt in those three years specially Database Management System. So brush up your technical skills and practice questions from quantitative aptitude like questions based on speed, time and distance, probability, ratios and algebra.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I had a great time with the interviewer. My interview lasted for about 50-55 minutes and in that time, he pretty much completed all the subjects that I have learnt in previous two years. So it was kind of a brainstorming session for me, remembering everything which I have already done.
Tips: Be thorough with you projects whatever you have mentioned in your resume. Any project might interest them and your whole interview can revolve around one. Also as I said, brush up your technical knowledge before going for the interview and if they ask "tell me about yourself", you should be pretty confident with whatever you say and that should be precise but you should cover all the details of your personality that would be enough for him to make a judgement of how good an employee can you be, so don't take breaks while telling him about yourself, that should be in a flow

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This interview lasted for about 40 minutes. Out of those 40 minutes, I took about 10 minutes for solving that puzzle but in the end I solved that puzzle. Problem statements were quite easy. And I am good with SQL, so I had no issues over there. This was more smartness plus technical oriented interview.
Tips: Again, be thorough with all your projects. Be smart enough to solve puzzles in time.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This was the best interview out of three. First of all, I was told to speak on a topic of my interest where I chose F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I love that show and I can talk for about hours on that show. So I became very casual while speaking on that topic. And fortunately, it was his favorite show too, so we talked about that show for a while. Then he gave me such tasks where I actually proved whatever I was saying so it was a nice, great experience.
Tips: Be thorough with "tell me about yourself", because your whole interview will be according to whatever you say. He will give you situations to actually test whether whatever you are saying is right or not and he will judge you then and there. So don't fake your personality and make sure you have done a full research on the company and the profile which will actually help you in answering most of the questions like "why should we select you" and all. In the end, don't forget to ask EVERY interviewer a question. It gives them an impression that you are actually interested in their company.

Skill Tips: Technical knowledge about all the subjects, knowledge about the projects, confidence, honesty, boldness
College Name: NIT Surat
Motivation: One of my seniors is also placed in this company and he has given me a good review about this company. Here the work culture is very nice and they have very friendly environment for the new employees. And their project management is also very good.
Funny Moments: I was about to abuse one of the characters from the show F.R.I.E.N.D.S and the HR somehow got the hint and started laughing on that comment. Then we discussed about that character also.
