Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Was resume shortlisted, nothing great about that.
Tips: Keep up the CPI, but I guess it's too late for that now.

Round: Test

English needs time for those who haven't used it much in their childhood. But still the difficulty level of questions in these placement tests is easy.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Was  generally good. Interviewer was young and we could connect.
Tips: It is extremely important that you remain calm. You need to tame that nervousness down. Think of the interview as a general talk with a stranger. Be your natural self. That's when the ideas hit you for the questions you haven't prepared. Practice interviewing with friends and read about the most common questions on the Interwebz.

Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: Problems were easy. Asked for a pen and paper and slowly solved them.
Tips: Practice puzzles. There are some good sites for this.
