No of Rounds: 2
First we had almost 1 hr ppt. (9:30 – 10:30)which was a nice one but a bit lengthy.This was followed by an aptitude test.
Aptitude Test:
Duration: 30 mins for 30 questions.( 11:00 – 11:30)
Areas: General knowledge questions,riddles and some anagrams.
Basically test was conducted to test basic aptitude.
No negative marking.

No. of students appeared: 200
My take: Questions were very easy.
Cut –offs were high.


Almost 2 hrs after the aptitude test, list was put up of those shortlisted for interviews. 37 people were selected at this stage. All those who were selected for interview were put up in different slots and our interviews began from 2 o’clock..

2. Interviews
Each one had to give 1 interview:
There were 2 panels consisting of 3 people each.

Technical+ HR Interview:

Duration: On an average 20 mins.
Sample Questions:
It started with normal Hr questions like tell me about yourself,family background n all.Their focus was mainly on the communications n analytical skills.Most student were given some real life situations n asked for their responses and how they will react in such situations.

In second half of the interview some mixed bag questions(technical+ prababilty) were asked-

Probabilty questions related to conditional probability.
What are the different normal forms ?
Why are they necessary ?
What are the objects in ASP ?
Tell me something about your project( in my case it was ajax n web services)

My Take:
My interview was conducted for almost 45 mins. (quite long when others were finishing their interviews in 15 mins.) They offered me some snacks also so you can imagine how informal my interview was.
However for many people first round too was complete hr or mixture of technical and hr. It all depended on your interviewers and stuffs you mentioned in your resume.

So I was done for the day at 5pm but interviews of my other friends were to be taken. They finished entire process at 8:30.Our results were announced at 9.30 pm when they asked the selected students to fill a Candidate Information Sheet.

Final intake: 7 out of 37.(4 comps + 3 tronix)

Preparation:
I had hardly prepared anything for the interviews. But I could answer questions asked on my project very well.


Your Job:
One day before the test, just revise probability and go through your project very well. Be prepare to answer any question(it may be a foolish one also)because they just want to see your reaction, nothing else.
