Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: This round had quantities, verbal, logical reasoning, and technical. This was hosted by a third party known as co-cubes (not sure if it’s always them). In technical round, questions where mostly on C++ and some questions on OS and networks. This was pretty easy if you are good at C++.
Duration: 90 minutes

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: This was a pretty interesting round.They gave us a very big scenario and time was given to go through it.The only problem was it was a bit difficult to get the context at a single glance but you will get it if you go through it properly the second time. If you are a good speaker it is a cake walk. You just need to focus on the content and speak on the context in which you are told to (it will be mentioned in the paper, you will have to talk on that).

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: All you need in this round is CONFIDENCE and thorough knowledge on your technical skills.

A puzzle was also asked: There are three baskets sitting next to each other. Under the first basket is a sign that says Apples. Under the second basket is a sign that says Oranges, and under the third basket is a sign that says Apples and Oranges. Each basket is incorrectly labeled. One basket contains all apples, one all oranges, and one a combination of apples and oranges. You are allowed to pick one fruit from one basket and label them correctly. (Ans : Pick it from the basket which is labeled wrongly as Apple and Oranges, you will be able to label it properly)
