Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Though the assignment of Works Application was challenging but if you solve and submit it, there are great chances that you are gonna shortlisted for the next round. I had solved one problem in C++ and the other one in JAVA language. For solving the question you are supposed to be good at data structure, standard algorithm problem(dynamic programming, greedy) and java, C++ or both. If you solve the problem of geeksforgeeks and leetcode regularly you'd really find the problem easy and interesting.
Tips: While solving the assignment you can discuss the algorithm but mustn't share your code with your friends because you can lose such a wonderful opportunity. Just spend your time and you are almost there.
Must submit the problem and start preparing for the live coding round.
Duration: 1 week minute
Total Questions: 2

Round: Test
Experience: Those who have submitted the correct solution of the first round are selected for this round. You are given 30 simple problem for testing your aptitude skill. The questions were easy but if you loose your calmness you may miss several questions and solve some question incorrectly. Times are enough for the 30 question.
Tips: Questions were same for everyone. So plan your seating arrangement meticulously and also must keep in mind "Concentration is the key for early solution".
Duration: 1:30 hrs minute
Total Questions: 30

Round: Test
Experience: All your past skill of programming gonna be tested in this round. The round would be live where you would be given a small monitor, keyboard and mouse and on the opposite side of you, interviewer gonna watch everything you type in your monitor. The problem would be easy and the are good amount of chances that you might have went through that problems during the preparation. You are asked to program two problem one after another. If you successfully code both passing all the given test cases(two or three generally), kudos!! you are almost selected for works Application.
Tips: Just have patience and be cool while coding and plan your solution before coding.
Duration: 40 min. minutes
Total Questions: 2

Round: Interview
Experience: It's just a formality round and don't worry about it. In my HR Interview round, the interviewer had set of 20 or few more simple questions asking about myself. We also discussed about the company, working hours and working culture. After the completion of round, the interviewer congratulated with saying, "As you have solved both questions in live coding round and so we are hiring you in WorksApplication".
Tips: Get some information about the company before any HR Interview.

General Tips: 1: Be Confident.
2: Keep Smiling.

I appeared for an interview before Feb 2016.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: We were given two programming questions to solve in offline mode. A total of 5 days was given to submit the solution.
Tips: While it was required to solve either of the problems to be considered for interview shortlist, only those who solved both the problems were shortlisted for interview. So ensure you give enough time and solve both the questions.
Total Questions: 2

College Name: IIT Bombay

I appeared for an interview in Dec 2016.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: A total of two questions were to be solved in a duration of 5 days. Both the questions were programming based and required knowledge of data-structures and algorithms.
Tips: Though it was mentioned that solving any one of the two questions should ensure interview shortlist, only those who solved both the questions were shortlisted. So, ensure that you solve both the questions. In the worst case, by brute force.
Total Questions: 2

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This round involved solving two programming questions. Both the questions involved writing code on their editor, compiling it and running for few test cases provided by them.
Tips: 1) Make sure you practice writing more and more code during your preparation rather than passively reading/thinking of solution to coding questions
2) Make sure you 'think aloud' during the interview (discuss your approach/progress you have made regarding the question) even when you are stuck so that the interviewer can guide you to the correct direction. However, please don't confuse this with abruptly speaking of any solution that comes to you mind. Relax and take your time but don't hesitate to speak to the interviewer when stuck
3) Discuss the approach with the interviewer before proceeding to code your final solution
4) Write a readable code with proper variable naming, code reuse
5) Dry run your solution on few basic and corner test cases before flagging a question as done!

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This was an easy round. HR asked be few questions from my resume. After that a long discussion on work culture of the company and kind of profile I will like to work on.
Tips: Just speak honestly in this round. It will be a cake-walk then.

Round: Test
Experience: This is the last round where you are given a booklet of 30 questions on 10th level maths and mental ability questions and are asked to solve it in 60 minutes.
Tips: Time will be sufficient so ensure you don't commit silly mistakes
Duration: 1 hour

Interview Tips & Stories
5d (edited)
a team lead
Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
