Round: Test Experience: In quantitative aptitude i dont remember the questing exactly but alsomost all questings are similer to the questions in RS Agarwaal.. In reasoning and analytical section they will ask puzzles and if u read shakuntala devi and jimmers puzzle book it is more than sufficient.. In verbal section they have given around 2 passages and 5 questions for each passage dont waste more time in this section because it is time consuming.. they have given some fill in the blanks questions where we have to search for synonyms and antonyms No technical section was there Total Questions: 75
Round: Technical Interview Experience: Basically i am from Mechanical back ground they dint asked any questions related to software.... They asked questions like how do you update your self regarding your technical knowledge... have you thought of any innovative ideas recent past..
Round: HR Interview Experience: In HR they asked 2 situation reaction tests. 1)she asked my hobbies and replied playing cricket... she posed a question to me that if i was appointed as cricket team captain for M-Tech mech team how i select my team.... i answered purely by performance no partiality like that.. but she asked to think more then she answered for the questions as... I alone cannot select the team because in M-Tech there may be more that 500 students so i have to take help from some of my friends and this shows attitude towards team work.... 2) She asked one more question like if i am a boss and there are 5 peoples working under me.. my boss given me one work that has to be completed in with in a month... now it is the last day of month and still 25% of work is remaining how i handle that situation... I answered that I will answer to the boss that from next time i will finish 1 months work in 20 days itself so that we will not be facing this kind of problems next time.. then she told ok....

When my turn came in I walked into the room and Found two people sitting over there. Wishing them Good Afternoon i was asked to take my seat and I sat comfortably. This is noted very carefully. I had a eye to eye contact with both of them. I handed over them my certificates for them to go through.
Then my interview started (I gave my resume to him)

Me: Bracing up a little I said I am working with Indian Air Force and because of Family reason I am about to resign the Job and also since I have completed MCA I just wanted to pursue a Technical Job.
Interviewer: Can you give me some more details as to why you want to resign a Government job and join a private one?
Me: Yes, I would. Since I am having a family to look after and with the present job I am unable to keep my family with me and also since my job requires me to be available 24/7, 365 days this was not a problem when I did not have these responsibilities but now it has become compulsion for me to look after and for me I think what’s the use of earning the money and not enjoying them with family.
Interviewer: Ok tell me about yourself?
Me: I told about my schooling and the place I hail from and the job I was doing in brief.
Interviewer: Oh great you could do your Graduation and Post graduation while doing a job and don’t you feel that was difficult while serving the IAF?

Me: I understood why he was asking so coolly I took time and read it comfortably.
(Now the interviewer showed me his laptop and told me to hear a conversation. I took the head set and listened the conversation)
Interviewer: What was the person trying to tell? Me: I told him that the person was telling that he wanted a technical issue to be resolved pertaining to his Laptop.
Interviewer: What is the solution you have for him?
Me: I told him the procedure of how to solve his issue.
Interviewer: He smiled at me and said I would like to speak with my friend who wants to ask you about information. He works as a SME (subject Man Expert) and he picked up his cell and connected to that person and handed over me the phone and walked out of the room.
Interviewer: Hello Kiran I am Sam
Me: Hello sam
Interviewer: I work as a SME and hope Dennis told about me
Me: yes
Interviewer: Can you tell me how does a browser work? Me: I said do you want me to explain the functionality of the browser. Interviewer: yes Me: I gave him the information of what he wanted. Interviewer: can you tell me some thing about cookie and what it does? Me: I told him the definition of cookie and the role it plays in the Brower functionality Interviewer: Ok what will you do to change the settings of the browser? Me: I explained him the process. Interviewer: Tell me something about registry in windows? Me: I told about the registry and told him that when ever an application is installed then it is this place that the registry keys are saved and based on this when ever we run the application it will fetch information from here and runs the application. Interviewer: What happens when these registry keys are deleted or corrupted and how can you delete the registry keys? Me: If the registry keys are deleted or corrupted then the application may not run or if it runs also it will create problems some where else and to delete the registry keys we need type in Regedit command in the run window and press enter andthen from the registry window search for the keys to delete and selecting them we need to press delete key .Interviewer: Do you know Computer networks? Me: Not fully but I have a fair idea Interviewer: Ok No issues. Thanks a lot. Me: thanks a lot and gave back the cell to Dennis. Interviewer: How was the interaction? Me: It was good (Dennis got a call and he typed in some thing in his laptop. I knew it was from sam) Interviewer: Ok kiran please wait out side will get back to you in a few min. Me: I said yes and walked out of the room and was little anxious but the people who were waiting outside wanted to inquire why it has taken a lot of time. After some time Dennis along with Sam came up to the lounge area and called me and spoke to me saying that they were satisfied with my interview and told that they were checking my accent and my technical knowledge and told me that I was selected for this round and need to attend a written technical test and also if I clear there will be a HR round and if cleared will get the appointment letter. Then they handed over a sealed envelop and told me to give to the HR I was a bit relaxed now and was waiting to go for the next round people around me congratulated. After few min a interview board member accompanied us in the Cab to another facility a few hundred meter away from this facility. When we came to this facility we were given tags to enter the facility and Pooja came and called me into the cabin.
Round: HR Interview Experience: HR Round HR: Good afternoon Kiran and took the packet Me: I said good Afternoon HR: Now there will be a written test and that too MCQ type go through the question paper and answer them and you have 30 minutes. Me: I took the paper and sat in the place assigned and went through the paper and answered them and after the time is up I handed over the answer sheet HR: Please sit in the waiting room I will be back in few min.Me: I said Ok and waited in the waiting room. After some time the HR came. HR: Congrats you cleared the written test Me: Thanks HR: So you are a defense person and where are you working? Me: Yes, I am working in Air Force Station Delhi. HR: So you want to join a pvt organization from a govt organization, don’t you feel that you are loosing security of job?Me: Yes, I want to join a corporate sector since it was a dream for me and I think the circumstance have paved the way for me since I am also not interested to be in Air Force because I am away from my family and also this posting makes it very difficult for me to be with my family and it will be for five years. Secondly I don’t feel any that I am loosing Job security since any how I have to retire after 20 years of service and I have finished 12 years and I cannot justify to my duty if I am not interested. So owing to moral grounds I want to join a pvt organization. HR: So you think that your family comes first than your job? Me: It depends on how a person thinks but for me both are important because without money I cannot survive and without a job I cannot earn so I balance both Job and Family and prioritize them. HR: What is the remuneration you are expecting from us? ME: I am expecting a good remuneration from you but I would be happy if I am paid as per your organizations standards so that I might not feel that I am left out in comparison with my colleagues. HR: Are you willing to work in any shift? Me: That would not be a problem for me because I have been doing duties in Air Force on the call and 24/7. So I do not have any problems HR: Ok you may go..Me: I thanked her and walked out of the room. After an hour the HR came and gave me all the details and told that I got Selected!!! This gave me the confidence that I can do well in the future. Though I did not join the Job it was a very good experience for me and it helped me in an interview which I attended in Bangalore in an IT company and which I have joined as a Quality Assurance Lead.

When you are over with the gd/ hr interview and you think there is a good chance of clearing it then make sure u get some knowledge about sector and the company .Read about the sector well and the company as well. Skills: Economics, Banking College Name: NA
Round: Test Experience: There was an apititude test basically in line with CAT pattern. It was conducted online for about 45 min duration. The questions were rather simple but each question was time bound (around 45 sec or so). Tips: As such I did not have any structured study plan. I did refresh some of my basics in mechanics and analysis. I was more inclined to get a job in aerospace division. Read as per your interest. Duration: 45 minutes
Round: Group Discussion Experience: Initially, we are seated randomly in a circular manner and each one was given two minutes to describe the topic. It was followed by an tense debate where participants converged and diverged on different sets of issue. They were particularly looking for interpersonal skills and out of the box thinking.
Round: Interview Experience: The interview was purely management type.More questions were thrown at team building, bio-data, why this company? , project, what you Can contribute for the firm?, where you see yourself in next 5 -10 years, ambitions, some amount of optimization tools and techniques, concluding remarks....Interpersonal skills and clarity in answering where mainly IBM was a more relaxed interview, which basically dealt with management and interpersonal skills. Questions like “if one of our team mate is very stubborn, lazy, adamant, how will you tackle the situation” were asked. Tips: College (B Tech) curricular activities, NTSC certificate, Math Olympiad certificate, all India quiz competition awards were noted and appreciated. That really was a booster. That helps in implanting an idea that you are not just blah blah blah.
Skill Tips: Be very sure about your mechanics, analysis and design. These three are the fundamentals. I haven prepared for placements exclusively. Here were combined discussions. However, it really helps if you can revise and make your fundamentals were clear. The basic understanding should be there. An hour every day for two months will do the trick. Be really choosy of the company you want to be in. Learn a lot more of the company and get an idea of what they are actually looking for. But still don’t freeze your mind to those realms alone.. Be open minded and cheerful. The first few questions will set the mood of the interview. If you are bale to crack that, then things will be really smooth. Really concentrate on your fundamentals, especially analysis and design. Skills: Mechanics, Analysis , Design College Name: IIT-Madras
