Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Standard resume shortlisting. Almost everyone was shortlisted for the test. You were given an option to choose between software and analyst profile.
Tips: Prepare your resume well on time. Give it a month at least. Send it over to a lot of seniors for reviews.

Round: Test
Experience: Test wa fairly easy. It had two sections. One was mental ability. I am hoping any IIT student can crack these questions. Second part was basic coding questions, 2 of them. If you know basic coding, you can solve it. Nothing fancy.
Tips: Prepare well for tests immediately after resume. Brush up basic coding commands if you expect coding questions in the test. One can do preparation on the lines of cat for these tests.

General Tips: I cannot say this enough times but you have to be patient, calm and confident. You will get a job. Everyone doesn't get a job on day 1. You may also get to hear thousands of methods to prepare for jobs. Don't listen to everyone. Just choose obe or two good sources and stick to them. Else you just waste time worrying about how much you need to prepare.
Skill Tips: I prepared on a very general level for all companies. If you are fairly sure of what kind of company you want, do company specific prep.
Skills: Analytical skills, Basic coding skills
College Name: IIT BOMBAY
Motivation: The profile offered had both analytics and coding. It was like the best of both worlds for me. Also, great company. Great money.
