Interview Preparation Tips

Round: PRE- placement
Experience: 1. The company collects resume from the placement department a few weeks before they come here and shortlist people on the basis of their resume and the projects that they have done.
2. Sometimes the cut-off at the time of test may be higher than the cut-offs of the people short-listed on the basis of resume.

Round: Test
Experience: They conducted a written-test consisting of logical aptitude, quantitative aptitude and the concepts of data structures and algorithms. There was a bonus questions for ten marks on application of OS concepts.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Technical interview consisted of problems on data structures and algorithms, Operating systems and Databases and whatever projects that have been mentioned in the resume.
Around 70 were shortlisted for written test from which the number came down to 22 for interviews and finally three of us got the offer with elimination at each stage of interviews.

General Tips: Placement season teaches you lot of things and many life-time experiences and the key thing during placement season is to have patience and wait for your chance. You will get what you is right for you when the right time comes so don’t lose hopes and be consistent. Luck is a big factor in placements and you will definitely have your day.
1. Prepare your resume well for each and every of the points you put there and give more than enough time in writing your resume. The presentation of your resume is equally important as the contents of the resume.
2. Attend the pre-placement talk sincerely for the companies you are interested in and ask questions in during that. It shows you are interested in the company and may help in later stages of your interviews.
3. Your dressing sense in during the PPTs is also noted by the company HR’s.
4. Knowing implementation of what you know is very important as most companies look for implementation and the most important thing during any interview will be your “Approach” towards the question asked as that’s where they judge you.
For CS
1. Be thorough with the concepts which you know and accept readily if you don’t know which is better than them telling you the same.
2. Be honest and know properly whatever you have written in your resume.
3. The HR person who comes for recruitment every year is very experienced person and he keeps a close watch on candidates even outside the interview rooms on the D-Day. Be aware for the same.
Skill Tips: 1. I had done MIT algorithms lectures at the end of my second year and those lectures were very useful at all the stages of my B.Tech. Apart from that I referred “Coding Interview Questions book by Narsimha Karumanchi” for quick revision of OS and DBMS concepts.
2. The coursera video lectures of Algorithms (part I and II from stanford), Computer Networks and of Databases are equally good and very useful in general for all companies.
3. For apti preparation I didn’t feel any need of extra preparation.
4. C-Apti questions are very important as well as coding skills being good in which will get you many early chances of being interviewed and getting a job.
5. I had looked into puzzles by Shakuntala Devi and the Brain Teasers on careercup.com.

For me on that day I had five back to back interviews on the D-day of which two were for Futures First and three were for Credit Suisse and the experience was more than rewarding at the end. I started getting call for Futures First interview when I was writing my Credit Suisse written paper and I didn’t know how the day is going to be for me. But believe me when they announce your name in the Rooms of Placement Department, which is the best feeling you can get when someone calls your name.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - 1. The interviewer, named Raghavendra, was quite rude. 2. He spent 10 minutes asking about the technology I was familiar with, followed by an hour of interview and later expressing dissatisfaction with the expected technology stack. 3. It seemed that he lacked prior interview experience and focused solely on a single concept. 4. He approached the interview by browsing a specific concept and expected the same keywords from the candidate. 5. This was an utterly disappointing interview experience; I have likely wasted the worst hour of my life. 6. The company lacks a clear culture, which was evident from the interviewer.
