    • Tuple elements cannot be changed, while list elements can be modified.

    • Tuple is faster than list for iteration and accessing elements.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Anybody with a C.G.P.A of greater than 8.5 would get selected.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The first question the interviewer asks is "Tell me about yourself" . He also asks about your family. Then he focuses mostly on your projects and will test if you have got any industrial exposure.

The interviewer doesn't ask many questions and after the completion of interview you feel like it lasted for not more than 10 minutes.
