Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Around 180-200 students applied for the position. 45 students were selected for the coding test.

Round: Test
Experience: There were 3 questions. The difficulty level was moderate. I did 2 questions and got selected for the next round. 13 students were selected for the skype interview.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Questions: 3

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This skype round basically checks our strength in the computer science basics. There were questions on data structures, databases, algorithms. They were moderate to difficult in nature. 7 people went into the next skype round which is also technical in nature.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In this round, first, there was a coding question which I needed to write and execute in a shared environment. Then, there was basically a detailed testing of the concepts I had used in projects. As the majority of my projects were on Android, I was interviewed in Android from here on. There were some questions on software design principles as well. 2 students were selected from this round for the final round.

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: In this final round, there was a brief discussion about my projects and some questions in between about my projects. After this discussion, I was told to showcase my skills other than technical. I was made to pitch my startup idea with the interviewer being my probable customer. So, one can expect his management or leadership skills also to be tested in this round. Both the candidates were selected.
