An Analyst was asked
Q. A cube is painted with six different colors, one color per face. How many distinct cubes can be made?
Ans. 

There are 6 colors, so 6^3 = 216 different cubes can be obtained.

  • The cube has 6 faces, each of which can be one of 6 colors.

  • Therefore, there are 6 options for the first face, 6 for the second, and 6 for the third.

  • To find the total number of possible cubes, we multiply these options together: 6 x 6 x 6 = 216.

A Software Developer was asked
Q. Given a singly linked list, determine if it is a palindrome.
Ans. 

The answer describes how to check if a linked list is a palindrome or not.

  • Traverse the linked list and store the values in an array

  • Compare the elements of the array from both ends to check for palindrome

  • Alternatively, use two pointers to traverse the linked list, one slow and one fast, and reverse the first half of the list while traversing

A Software Developer was asked
Q. Given a linked list, determine if it contains a cycle.
Ans. 

To check if a linked list has a loop, we can use the Floyd's cycle-finding algorithm.

  • Use two pointers, one moving at twice the speed of the other

  • If there is a loop, the fast pointer will eventually catch up with the slow pointer

  • If the fast pointer reaches the end of the list, there is no loop

Are these interview questions helpful?
A Software Developer was asked
Q. Given a singly linked list, find the kth element from the end of the list.
Ans. 

To find the Kth element from the end of a linked list, we can use the two-pointer approach.

  • Initialize two pointers, 'fast' and 'slow', pointing to the head of the linked list.

  • Move the 'fast' pointer K steps ahead.

  • Move both 'fast' and 'slow' pointers one step at a time until 'fast' reaches the end of the linked list.

  • The 'slow' pointer will be pointing to the Kth element from the end.

A Software Developer was asked
Q. Given a matrix of 0s and 1s, where each row has 0s followed by 1s, find the row with the maximum number of 1s. Start with the top right corner. Provide code with O(m+n) complexity.
Ans. 

Find the row with maximum number of 1's in a matrix of 0's and 1's.

  • Start from the top right corner of the matrix

  • If the current element is 1, move left in the same row

  • If the current element is 0, move down to the next row

  • Repeat until you reach the bottom left corner of the matrix

A Software Developer was asked
Q. Given the heads of two singly linked-lists headA and headB, return the node at which the two lists intersect. If the two linked lists do not intersect, return null.
Ans. 

Intersection of 2 linked lists

  • Traverse both lists and compare each node to find the intersection

  • Use a hash set to store visited nodes and check for intersection

  • Calculate the length of both lists and adjust the starting point for comparison

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Interviews were driven to know the candidate better and their capabilities. They also didn’t waste much time asking students who they were sure not to recruit and conducting reasonably long interviews.

General Tips: Do’s :
1. Start preparing with the start of the summers.
2. Concentrate on your own preparation and not on what others are doing.
3. Keep the preparation time of HR to maximum 20 hours because HR accounts for just 20% weightage in your selection procedure.
4. Have patience.
5. Prepare every point written in the resume such that you are able to speak for at least 3 min on the subject. You might gain bonus points if you are aware of some latest developments or strategic changes in the field.

Don’ts :
1. Never bog down when you are either not shortlisted in the company who have been aiming for or when even after practice you are not getting the correct way.
2. Do not form very large groups for the preparation. Try making the preparation time that you spend with the group as efficient as possible with the least of bulla sessions.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: It was a bit disappointing to not get shortlisted in a couple of companies I was looking forward to, but I really didn't expect much with my CPI (6 pointer during placements). But my internship helped me loads and gave my resume one 'spike' which became crucial.
Tips: Maintain a good CPI, as you've heard from every senior, but is necessary. Also keep a couple of profiles in your mind, which you want to work in, and then create a resume as such, and take up internships and POR's, all good spikes for which a recruiter, mostly including an IIT alumnus look for.

Round: Test
Experience: A make or break situation for me due to my poor CPI. Fortunately I got shortlisted in almost all companies for which I gave the test, for GD and so on, so it's a very very crucial part of the placement process.
Tips: Be smart during giving your tests. The recruiter judges your decision making skills and speed skills through this. Specially with students with an average CPI, this is the most important step as companies that come for mass recruitment make their decision on this basis.
Duration: 12 minutes
Total Questions: 50

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: For SnapDeal, they had what they called a Group Activity but it was per se a GD. They gave us a problem, a general aptitude question and they gave us hints in order to solve it. I tried to take charge and maintain decorum among 20 people there and it helped.
I was way more silent during my GD for Flipkart and that is the worst thing I could have done.
Tips: Always speak up. Content matters less, being smart and practical matters more. You can twist the points of another person, but keep your stand, whatever side you take. Just keep calm and speak your heart out. Also, give everyone a chance. If someone in the room hasn't spoken a word for some while, take the initiative to stop the discussion then and there and ask that person his/her views. A moderator is not always looking at a person who starts or ends well, he might be looking for a person who is a team player.
Duration: 20 minutes

Round: Problem Statement
Experience: Unfortunately never had the chance to tackle this part of the process.
Tips: Do what you feel is right, even if it's going wrong. An attempt matters, don't leave the space blank.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: There were different approaches to tackle this problem, and I mostly took the most complicated and inaccurate one. But I was confident in what I was doing. I estimated the amount of pizzas delivered and purchased on the spot, estimated the number of people served by the outlet area-wise, where I could have used an age distribution method. I guesstimated the cost of one pizza, also dividing into sizes and also included other side orders. The interviewer was happy and got selected in to the next round. This is for a company by Indus Insights, a consulting firm.
Tips: Practice makes perfect. Cover all case interviews and practice hard, specially for a consulting firm obviously. Be confident with the method you use, and constantly interact with the interviewer. Do not underestimate the importance of keeping the interviewer in the loop. Tell him/her what you are thinking, even though it's rubbish, and ask them for clarifications wherever you're stuck. It's not just your problem solving skills, it's a test to how you present the solution to a potential client.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I started off with my basic introduction i.e. Name, Branch, hometown etc. Then I shifted to my intern as it had been the most recent activity I had done. So on, I continued covering all my internships and POR and then told some of my hobbies. Regarding the why e-commerce question, I mentioned the fact that it's the fastest growing market in the world, and the company is among the top firms in this market.
Tips: Its important to prepare these questions before hand. These are make or break questions as these relate to whether you'll fit the dynamics of the firm. Its important to be energetic and lively. What you show in the interview is exactly what they perceive to be your general status and personality. Always saw the firm excites you and you should be aware of the functioning of the market and the firm. Studying up earlier is a must, regarding recent developments in general as well.
Don't be afraid to cross question regarding the company and other affairs related to the company.
I wasn't asked a behavioural question as such, but try not to get cocky. Keep it simple, and don't get frustrated.

Round: Guesstimate Interview
Experience: I started off by asking the time frame. Nothing was cleared by the interviewer so I started asking the basic questions, regarding city, etc. I broke down the costs i.e. Personal and related to maintenance. Asked a ton of questions in order to keep the interviewer involved.
Tips: A guesstimate is quite similar to a case interview, but this tests more general knowledge wherein a case questions your intellect on the case itself. Similar tips as to tackling a case, but you make loads of assumptions yourself. Read some population and area data of major Indian cities before hand, and keep asking whether the assumptions you're making sound reasonable or not. Don't worry if the answer is too random, it's more about the process rather than the figure.
Also, if you have read up before on how to solve guesstimates, you'll face something called as Sanity check. In the interview, you aren't asked to do one, try and avoid unless you are really confident.

General Tips: Don't lose hope. Placements are a tiring process. People with brilliant resumes don't get placed and haven't gotten placed yet. So keep on fighting, you will get placed in a good company with a good package soon. Also don't reject a company if the package is okay, it's your first job. You are being awarded money based on one interview, they don't know your work yet. So choose a job where you like the profile instead of the money.
Skill Tips: Speed is crucial in the tests. Half of the people usually complain on missing out on questions.
Skills: Speed, Aptitude
College Name: IIT BOMBAY
Motivation: It is a fast growing company in the fastest growing market. A company where growth is fast and leaning experience is endless. They have also taken up social projects towards which I have some inclinations so that helped.
Funny Moments: One of my friend got placed a day before me in Olacabs, and had a higher CPI than me. The day I got placed he was with me, and I could not help laughing the fact that I had a higher package.

One of the best sources for Startup investment: DAHEJ(DOWRY)
You won't believe my senior has a good corporate job with over 10 years of experience. But suddenly resigned just a few days after his wedding. We all thought maybe he got married and wants to spend his time with his wife, and decided to go to his place to give him a proper farewell. All of us got shocked after knowing that he left because his father-in-law gifted him a fat cash amount and a car in the name of "blessings." He’s using the money to fund his startup and the car for "business movement." I mean seriously? People are now using dowry as startup capital and walking around acting like CEOs, playing boss with someone else’s money. Bas, shaadi karo aur apne sapne chalu karo, courtesy sasural. I don't know feeling inspired? Or disgusted?
