PROCESS
Rounds:
- Resume Shortlisting
- Online Assessment (Verbal, Aptitude, Technical MCQs, Coding)
- Interview
Resume Shortlisting
- Candidates register with personal details and resume on the portal.
- Profiles are screened based on CGPA criteria, resume content, and prior employment status.
- My initial application was unsuccessful, possibly due to my resume or indicating prior employment.
- The second time, we were given a Microsoft form to fill out details along with fresh registration in the portal.
- This time, I uploaded the same resume but did not indicate prior employment, and got shortlisted.
Online Assessment
- Includes sections on Verbal, Aptitude (Quantitative + Reasoning), Technical MCQs, and Coding (2 questions).
- At least 1 coding question needs to be fully solved according to my knowledge.
- Prepare well for this because once this round is done, the interview feels like a cakewalk in most cases.
Interview
- Covers selfintroduction, technical questions, and HR questions.
- Technical focus on project details (rationale, role, challenges faced, solutions).
- DSA: One coding question on Circular Linked List where I had to explain the approach and write part of the code in my preferred programming language, which I chose Python. The question was: How do you determine if a given Linked List is a Circular Linked List?
- HR questions: No questions were asked except "Any questions for me?" (some basic HR questions were asked to my friends).
Tips:
- Emphasis on language proficiency, aptitude, and basic DSA (Leetcode easy) is required for such companies.
