Introduction:
Naval architecture also known as naval engineering is an engineering discipline dealing with the engineering
design process, shipbuilding, maintenance, and operation of marine vessels and structures. The department
vigorously pursues activities in line with its objectives and remains committed to excellence in its endeavour in
education, research and training programs as well as supporting developmental efforts of marine industries.
Throughout this four or five year span our students are moulded so as to face the industry awaiting them with
confidence. A strong foundation is built -which at times proves to be most vital. The BTP/DDP invokes a desire
to gain deeper knowledge on the subject and a hunger to break the barriers set by norms and in turn explore
the industry to its fullest.
Sub Sectors:
● Naval Architecture
● Ocean Engineering
● Petroleum Engineering
Growth Opportunities:
The naval architecture field remains evergreen. With increasing demand for large passenger as well as cargo
vessels, the demand for it is continuously increasing for at least the next 5 years. Meanwhile both the
petroleum as well as offshore engineering is dependent on the markets though there continues to be growth in
both these sectors, given that oil is still a pretty cheap source of relatively clean energy.
Exit Opportunities:
A graduate of Naval Architecture & Ocean Engineering can choose to be either in the Ship Design Industry as
well as the Oil and Gas Industry.With the Indian Navy aggressively looking to expand its fleet of vessels,there
is a huge demand for qualified engineers in almost all construction yards in India,both in the Government
Sector as well as the Private Sector.Also being skilled in design software can also help to change fields from
Naval Architecture to Fluid Mechanics and CFD as well.Consultancy always is an option and remuneration is
directly proportional to the experience gained.Teaching & Research is another lucrative option,where jobs in
top engineering colleges of India offer attractive remuneration packages. Many of the renowned classification
societies always come looking for Naval Architects from IIT Madras.
Skill Sets:
Courses like Strength of Materials, Basic Ship Theory, Ship Resistance and Propulsion, Manoeuvring, Analysis
of Structures, Ship Design, Dynamics of Floating bodies and offshore structures definitely help. Also being
thorough with both internships as well as BTP/DDP is crucial. Also knowledge of commercial design software
like NAPA, Aveva Marine helps a lot.
Companies:
Schlumberger Transocean
Oceaneering Worley Parsons
Revising the theoretical courses related to the profile coupled with HR questions is the first step in your
placement preparation. Also being thorough with internship as well as BTP/DDP will obviously help a lot. A lot
of redundant work with respect to core preparation can be avoided with focussed as well as thorough
preparation for the Grand Viva.

ROUND 4: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
In this round questions put up were based on a candidate's resume and after being judged 19 were shortlisted .
1: Aptitude
2: Optimization may help.
COURSES/CERTIFICATIONS
SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
The questions were mainly from Verbal ability, Reading comprehension, Mathematical ability and logical
reasoning. All of them were MCQ with +3 for right answer and -1 for wrong answers I think.
Experience
100 students were divided into 16 groups. That comes something like 6-7 per group. The duration of the GD
was 15-20 mins depending on the group. The evaluators mainly looked at our body language, the way we put
across our points in the discussion, the quality of the points we told and finally our involvement in the
discussion.
ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
There were two rounds of interview:
1st round: This round was a good mix of technical and HR questions for about 25 min if I remember correctly. I
was asked a few puzzles,a guesstimate and HR questions like:Tell me about yourself,What are your strengths
and weaknesses?,Why do you want to join Flipkart ? Tell me the latest news about Flipkart ? Estimate the
market size of groceries in India?,Do you think entering into e-grocery business is a good idea? Some puzzles
were also asked
2nd round: A few cases studies I prepared for Finance and E-commerce. I took 3 Finance courses (one of them
being my minor) from the Institute and registered for a few online Finance courses to gain insights into the
subject.Also did a small project as a part of my minor.I have been following E-commerce industry closely from
2013 by reading articles online and the ET.
Tips
Do’s: 1. be confident; Follow the company on media if possible to increase your confidence 2. Know the
company & profile well before you go to the interview
Don’ts:1. don’t lie to the interview about thing that you have not done or about something you do not
have much idea about. 2. Don’t discuss anything relatedyour pay scale. If the interviewer brings up that,
gently brush it aside
Tips
August would be the right time to start.
Rather than starting early, I think having a time-table for self would help a lot and make us stress-
free.The material provided by the placement website is sufficient. But please form a coherent group
of your wing-mates or friends so that you are not stressed out in your preparation. Group preparation
does more good than harm. But make sure not to waste time! Pre-final semester....very precious!!!
GENERAL TIPS/ADVICE
Choose your passion!
Don’t be chasing things which others think are ‘cool-stuff’ to do. If you are really talented in your passion you
can become the next ‘cool’
1stYears: Try to put fight to get an awesome CGPA in the two semesters. It will be easier to maintain a good CG
thereafter. Say NO to other extra-curricular activities but do keep track of them as you SHOULD do some for a
good resume. A simple vol-ship may be okay if it is not time consuming.
2ndyears: Decide whether you want to pursue your branch further or not. If yes, start reading more about your
interest, do some projects and learn some academic software like MATLAB, Origin Pro etc. If you are not
interested, then try various fields like Finance, Analytics.
3rd& 4thyears: Don’t leave any opportunity in your chosen field and make use of all that insti can provide you

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
Similar to CAT level questions. Speed and accuracy is important.
Tips
Aptitude and Verbal are important for any placement test for that matter. Start and practice well before
the tests. Don't miss your dream company coz of your poor performance in tests. The more you practice,
the easier you can get through.
Experience
The topic is to test how much you are inclined to the industry. Moderators are very helpful. Topic is the same for
all the groups. One min time to prepare for the topic, about 10 min to discuss. Chance is given for everyone to
conclude after GD.
Tips
It is important to define and understand the topic more than paying attention to start and conclude the
GD. Knowledge on topic is important in GDs. Topics generally depends on company you are preparing for.
Allowing and involving other people shows how well you can perform in a team.
Experience
Make sure you are expressing your interests when you are taking them through your resume! Talk in such a way
that your resume has something that profile needed! I talked about my course work which is relevant to the
profile offered. Case study was to budget a India wide competition in 2 lakhs!! Exploring as many options as you
can is important! Marketing the event, accommodation for judges, participants, venue charges, Facilities and
requirements should be taken care of!
Q1: Explain how you see E-commerce in India in next few years? What do you think are the problems?
Q2: Why Flipkart?
Experience
It is important that you read about company and related companies to answer such questions! Lot of reading is
through newspapers and articles! Understanding market models is important! It is important to know and define
difference between E-commerce and E-Retail!Once you say the problems faced by E-commerce, you will be
asked to suggest solutions for the same! Though it is not expected that you can solve the problem very much
technically, having insight is important!
Tips
Make sure you have answers for HR questions prepared! Why you? Why this company? Such questions
are common in any interview! Make sure you know why you are trying for placement for that company and
be ready to explain them! Use this questions to show the knowledge you have about company! Use
statistics only if you are sure about them!

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
Objective part of the test had total 10 questions and weren't any basic questions. The questions were hard for
those who didn't do any related course.Subjective part had questions regarding proofs from graph
theory,algorithms and Stochastic process questions. E.g.: If the probability of an insect dying from time t to
t+dt is a function f (t)(which is given).What is the expected time of survival of insect/how many insects would
still be surviving at the end of a certain interval of time. Step marks were awarded in the subjective part of
test,so it was okay even if your answer isn't correct.I answered only 2 out of 12 subjective questions.
Tips
Don't leave in between the test.
Experience
3-4 rounds of interviews were held, 35 minutes each round.Questions asked in interview depended on which
objective section you have answered in the test.I had attempted maths so Maths puzzle questions were asked.
Questions kept on getting tougher. Interviewer asked a question and left the room. We had to get the answer
before he came back.
ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
1.5 hrs for objective questions (35 questions) and 1.5 hrs for subjective questions (35 questions). In both the
objective and subjective questions the sections were: Graph theory, Math(Probability, Linear Algebra) and
Algorithms. This was the selection round.
Tips
Marking was linear no negatives. Cut off was not revealed.
Q1: Given a list of numbers give an algorithm that to find 2 numbers that add up to 600. He asked me to
improve the complexity with every attempt I made finally got it down to complexity of O(N).
Q2: What is the probability of a 8 bit string to have no more than 2 consecutive 1's. This might seem like a
probability question :p. But it is actually dynamic programming.
Experience
Based on the written test and your resume interviews are scheduled. I had 3 rounds. Technical rounds are very
heavy. They mostly ask questions on your projects and test your skills in probability,
Datastructures and algorithms (DSA), puzzle solving. They want to know how you solve the problem and not
just the final solution. So it is always helpful to be verbose and think out loud. If you are stuck somewhere it is
not a bad idea to ask for hints. I was asked a lot of questions on DSA, Dynamic programming, Machine learning
and many questions on my projects (since many had mathematical modelling)
ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
Trying to understand the way you solve a problem. Your understanding of the job. Your preferences etc.This will
be a talk with the higher management who do another analysis of you preferences and understand what kind of
a person you are and if you will be able to handle some of the tough conditions that ITC employees work in.

Tips
Look more towards approach rather than answer.
They don’t look at speed. Once you generate idea then they will give time and also help you.
Tips
Tested in coding, how you think and even tested on algorithms.
Core courses like digital systems, networks and systems, DSP, and depending on profile related courses
should be revised. Projects and interns will matter for core.

For Product management, I highlighted points in my resume. Sponsorship and PR core worked in my favour.
Experience
It lasted for about 45 minutes. He basically tested my knowledge on product management. He asked my
questions on marketing, growth, demographic penetration.
Experience
Second interview was basically a follow up, lasted for almost an hour. He tested me on my consistency and
some guesstimates. Like estimate the number of mobile internet users of Quora (which was my favorite
product/service)
Tips
Knowledge wasn’t tested as such in any field. Important skill was estimation/prediction.
In the second interview, he followed up on questions from the first interview, so he tested me on my
consistency. Consistency is very important!!
GENERAL TIPS/ADVICE
First year guys would be free. They should explore a lot of things. The second year, select the option you would
want to pursue. Third year, start prioritizing.
Do's: If you have a project of your own that would work in your favor. Do many side projects.

ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
35 questions were asked most of which were based on data interpretation and analytics which did not require
speedy math skill. On the whole the test was comparatively tough.
Experience
A scenario/case was given where the company had to expand to different countries(USA/Dubai/Africa) I had to
choose thecountry and justify as to why I chose the country and also answer as to how I would go about
doing it. It was not a stress interview.

How much do you know about the company and how you can relate a question to the company. Being
inquisitive in the interview helped. Preparations involved preparing for HR questions in advance,solving
standard puzzles,being updated about daily affairs watching Victor Cheng videos(for consulting). Also it is
advisable to be thorough of all the points on one's resume.

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
A selection test was used to screen the applicants initially, with MCQ questions, focusing on quant abilities,
analytical ability. A testplatform ‘Cocubes’ is used by almost all companies to conduct the tests. I had good
quant ability, which helped me ace the tests.
Experience
I did not attend a single GD. But Tanuj, my friend, had attended quite a few, and he can be approached for GD
fundaes ;)
ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
There were two rounds of Interview.A total of 150 people wereselected for a first round of interview, out of
which 40 students were shortlisted to form a ‘priority’ list. All 150 students were interviewed for asecond time;
the students not in the priority list underwent a HR interview followed by a second main interview, while the
candidates in the priority list were directly interviewed by the main panel. Only 6 candidates from the non-
priority list made it to the final interview.Communication skills and puzzle solving ability were given importance
in the interview. The shortlist was released late, and the coordinator in charge of handling Ola Cabs got busy
with some other work, so when I went to Sabarmati hostel, I had to rush directly to the interview. Due to this, I
could not maintain composure and performed poorly; I didn’t solve even one simple puzzle. But I explained my
position to the interviewer, and the interviewer agreed to re-interview me; I performed well in the re-interview.
The interview lasted for about an hour orso.The experience gained inspeaking to a lot of clients helped improve
my communication skills, which wasvital in helping me get placed. My re-interview went really well; the
guesstimate of the approximate expenditure incurred by Ola Cabs Ltd. was almost spot on, and this helped me
in getting placed.
Tips
With regards to placement nervousness, NOT being nervous is a sign of overconfidence; everyone is
nervous, but it'simportant to not be nervous beyond a limit.Building arapport with the interviewer was
very important in getting placed early.Placement is a conversation and not a ‘ragging session’ for the
interviewee toget tensed and nervous. In my interview with housing.com, I eventually ended up speaking
to the interviewer in Hindi :) NEVER PUT FALSE DETAILS IN YOUR RESUME OR INTERVIEW. It is
impossible to pull off a lie in an interview.
1: Communication Skills
2: Puzzle Solving Ability
Tips
I started off very late,hence couldn’t do any online courses. But itwould be difficult, if not impossible, to
learn vast subjects like coding oranalytics during the 7th/9thsemester, as the pressure of placement
preparation, academics, tests etc would be too much to bear. Don’tuse final year to start learning
coding/analytics.With regards to placement preparation, be open to many choices, as it will be difficult if
one fixates on a particular type of job. There were some friends of mine who applied only for one type of
jobs, e.g. analytics. If one does that,there is a good chance that one might cup in the interview, and thus
end upwithout a job. Also, one can never be sure if they would like a certain type ofprofile; it might look
interesting at first, but might become boring sometimein the future. So one must be open to all
options.Istarted preparing for placements 2 monthsbefore placements i.e. during late September.With
regards to whether starting early helps, it depends on other factors; there are people who prepare for just
15 days and thulp placements, while there are others who prepare for months but end up with not-so-
exciting offers.

Tips

Experience
Two cases would be given. The possible solutions and views should be discussed with the interviewer. It is more
like a conversation between the interviewee and the interviewer. They check on the approach to the given
problem. Mainly break down your problem, take your time and don’t bounce onto the solution. Discuss the
problem with them and move it like a conversation. Mckinsey interviews are interviewee driven. Move it in the

I had an activity (networking session) before interview. However it was nothing related to selection process. we
were given fundaes by senior people about how the work would be, shared their experience working the

was in no way related to selection. We were given an opportunity to have a small chit chat with their senior
people.

ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
Section 1: 30 questions – Quant Section 2: 20 questions- Speed Math
Tips
Don’t stick on to one single question which you are unable to solve. You need to complete it as quick as
possible.
I prepared for Quant for about 10 days before the placements. But I think it would be better if one starts
preparing much much earlier.
Experience
For me there were 3 rounds. All the 3 rounds went on the same note for me. They were constantly
asking random questions. All you need to do is keep smiling and answer them properly. You can just say to all
the questions he asks as “No idea sir”. There is nothing like you should be answering all his questions
correctly.
In my 2nd round, he went through my resume. So you need to be very clear about what you wrote in the
resume. You should not fake it as they will shoot many quick questions the moment you start to cup.
Tips
I answered most of the questions with a pleasant smile. One should not worry about their facial
expressions and panic.

Experience
Everything was objective. Not sure about the cutoff but they selected about 12 members. Quantitative+verbal
questions were asked.
Experience
We got 2mins for preparing before the GD began.
Group strength was minimal and. some people didn’t even speak making it easier to get through this round.
Tips
Speaking skills are required. Put forward sensible points. Leadership quality will help. Drive the group to
discuss your point.
ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW
Q1: Will you join our company if you were to be posted in Aizwal?
Q2: Why do you want to join our company?
Q3: Do you have any aim in life?
Q4: Idiot, rascal, dumbo... These are the kind of words your manager says to you on a general basis. How would
you receive them even if the mistake isn't yours?
Tips
The spirit with which you deal the interview matters most. If it is a stress interview, try to be as cool as
possible.
Any BTP relating to infrastructure – like socio-economic evaluation of a project,that they liked in the
resume, or performance in previous rounds etc.)taking BIM to govt, policy considerations etc would be
job-fetchers.
GENERAL TIPS/ADVICE
I started towards the ending of October. It would definitely help if I had started earlier. If you are aiming for
deloitte you don't have start anytime earlier than october. As many don't aim for deloitte please don't start late
and repent later. There will be plenty of time during the semester to prepare for whatever profile and job you
are aiming for.
If you are aiming for core companies get a very good project, you can pitch about. The project has to be purely
linked to the dept concept. For example, in civil engineering I did a project on fusing BIM and Gaming. Although
it seems cool, it doesn't help at all as far as core interview is concerned
In general if a person is aiming at a finance or a banking company at least one internship in the respective field
SHOULD be done to bring weight to your resume.

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
The Test was an adaptive one, which means that the level of difficulty of the next question depends on the
answer to the previous one. The test was very easy though, attempt all the questions and I think that should be
enough to get you through.
Experience
The GD was a case study, we were divided into group of 8-9 and were given a case to discuss.5 mins to
understand the case + 15 to discuss it amongst the group + 5 mins to present it.We all were being watched
closely and they were jotting down every point made. So make relevant and good points (less is fine but good
points)Speak clearly so that every other person should be able to hear what you are trying to sayThey might
even ask you to add more to the discussion in the end, that doesn't necessarily mean that you are lagging
behind in the scores.
Q1: Tell me all about yourself.. Right from the name to hobbies, interests, projects?
Q2: Explain me both the projects ( and a few question on it.. What if I replace this component? How do I make it
secure? Basically all ques related to Electronics)
Q3: Why Deloitte?
Q4: What you wanna be in 5 years?
Q5: Diff between C and Java?
Q6: A few cases on what to use when.. (C / Java)
Q7: What is networking?
ROUND 4: HR INTERVIEW
Tips
Know basics of languages (C/C++/C#/JAVA….) really well. Know yourprojects thoroughly (almost
everyone was asked on projects). Have an idea aboutcyber security (Firewalls, Viruses….), Networking
(basically CCN). Also do DataStructures properly (every company asks it anyways)

SELECTION PROCESS
Experience
There was no aptitude test, only resume screening, out of that 120 people were shortlisted.
Experience
General topics were given. Everyone was praising NAMO so just to stand out, I decided to go against the motion
and it worked. The main catch in the GD was each group had 8 members but time allotted for discussion was
only 5 minutes so you might get only a few opportunities to speak so prepare solid concrete points so that you
stand out from the others, lay them out effectively and you will clear the round easily. After GD 12 people were
shortlisted for forensics
Tips
Take the center seat if possible. If you start the discussion, do so with proper topic(it may seem stupid
now but people do make mistakes in that as well). Don’t try and dominate from early stages of
discussion. Give everyone a chance to speak(not at a cost of your own turn though). Your nature in the
discussion(aggressive or a team player) should depend on the type of job description. At the end you
should have stated one concrete point don’t just talk without any sense it does not help at all.

campus.Most of the questions were repeated from the previous rounds.
1: Soft Skills
Tips
It doesn't matter how good the product is you can't sell it. Your soft skills help you present yourself in
front of the recruiters. This cannot be developed overnight, you need to have consistent practice for the
GD and the interview. Some of the tips for Interviews: Never Say ‘NO’ or ‘I don’t know’ in an interview,
say you don’t remember or are not clear on the concept a direct ‘NO’ places you on the
defensive. NEVER LIE, this is an interview not our viva,the person sitting in front of you is much more
experienced in spotting liars and much more smart then we are. Show some respect. Prepare the answers
to standard questions Be prepared to be grilled on anything and everything on your resume so don’t
give false facts in that.

GENERAL TIPS/ADVICE
Your resume introduces you to the interviewer before you do it yourself so work hard onit.DO NOT copy some
templates from the internet, design one for yourself. Avoid cluttering it withuseless facts. Design one for each

questions which I had to write pseudo code for. Then they gave me a problem statement on which they asked
2-3 DBMS query. Sadly, I don’t remember the exact question but assure you that with sound understanding of
any one programming language and DBMS you can easily clear the tech round.
Experience
Managerial Round was a mix of tech + managerial skills. Some OOPS concepts were asked.Give examples while
explaining the concept. Complex DBMS queries including join was asked.Query was something like how will you
detect whether duplicate roll no. exist in your database.He also asked a few ethics related qn that you ever
copied or let others copy in examination.Other few qn were like how much time can you work maximum, how
much you study regularly,any new news in IT that you have recently come across, what went wrong in
internshipinterviews (Forgot to mention that I was rejected after tech round during Credit Suisse
internshipinterview) and many more such questions.He asked us to ask him any qn about Credit Suisse or even
outside it

answers right. But what they expected was to think logically and say whatever that comes to your mind so at
least they can judge whether u are on the right track or not.
Experience
This was the best round! The director took my interview. It eventually got converted into a technical round. He
asked me almost the same questions about .Net. Then he asked me an easy puzzle. He asked me why I chose
EXTC(because my resume is full of IT projects and achievements). I was quite honest to tell that I did a mistake
while filling the form! And there were a couple of questions which I answered honestly which I guess he liked. So
I think it is advisable to be true and honest. Then I was asked whether I have any questions. I asked about his
career path. We spent more than half an hour discussing about his career path, he gave a lot of advice as well.

Q1: If an egg is thrown from a 1000 storeyed building, determine from what minimum floor it should be thrown
for it to crack.”
Q2: How many tennis balls can fill INS Vikrant?”
Experience
Puzzle solving type question was asked. For first question I solved it using Binary Sorting Method. Basically,
throw the egg from 500th floor. If it doesn’t crack then go to 750th floor, if it cracks then go to 250th floor.
And continue. (Egg is quite strong of course). And for second, I used volume of each ball and void fraction. They
see your approach rather than the numbers.

SELECTION PROCESS
Experience
There isn't much I can write here in terms of my experience. But it wouldn't be fair to skip this as this was the
first selection criterion.
Tips
Have a neat readable resume- not too crammed, not too blank. Get it checked by atleast 10 people. If you
are from a non-finance background, they want to see your enthusiasm to learn. Be sure to write about
relevant stuff - certification exams, relevant projects and courses (economics, accounting,operations
research) taken up in the institute, conferences, business plans etc.
Experience
We were a group of 9 people - 5 girls and 4 boys; a ratio in line with the topic given to us. Each of us was
initially given 40 seconds to talk and then a discussion of 10 minutes followed. It was necessary to make a mark
in the beginning since these 40 seconds were uninterrupted.
I started by declaring that I would wish to discuss this topic first at a national level and then at a global level. If
you can relate to a current issue, you have started well. I mentioned a few points about empowering women
from PM Modi's speech delivered on Independence Day. I also built on one of the points raised by a member in
the group. As I was the last one to speak, I took advantage of it and gave structure to the upcoming 10 minutes
of discussion by declaring 3 major issues to be tackled when it comes to empowering women - Education,
Employment and Safety. All of them around me agreed and the discussion was constructive. I was told, "Always
summarize" and I did so when we were told that we were left with two minutes only.
P.S. - I was told later that I was ranked the highest in my round.
Tips
What gives you an edge above the others is
Experience
Oh this was an enjoyable interview. Once the ice was broken, we were having more of a conversation setting
than an interview one. Credit Suisse definitely wants to see your inclination towards a particular division with a
clear notion of why you picked one over another. The lady who interviewed me had just moved from the division
of Prime Services to Private Banking(PB) Americas. I wanted to join PB and laid down my motivation for the
same. Towards the end, I asked her about the learning curve and her 6-year experience at Credit Suisse. She
asked me about my significant achievements (non-academic) in my undergraduate years.
Tips
Know your resume inside out. Expect anything. Carry documents/certificates that will increase your
chances. I carried a copy of my Business plan and she had a question to ask for every page she
turned. Stay relaxed. They don't have a stress round but the interviewer wants to interview someone who
doesn't have well-prepared answers. If you can get the interviewer to have a casual conversation with
you, it's likely he/she will recommend you for the next round.
ROUND 4: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
I pride on telling everyone that I didn't have a Puzzles round. The selection process right from the Group
Discussion seemed very smooth and I was directly sent to a Senior person for supposedly the last interview.I
started with a line in Swahili (the national language of Tanzania - a country where I lived for around 15 years).
The translation to English brought a smile on his face and I knew he was one who was looking for something
different in a person. At a point, he asked me whether I had been to the U.S. and then with much excitement, he
Tips
Understand what the interviewer wants to buy. And then sell accordingly. This was certainly not an
interview where the interviewer had a fixed set of questions.
The answer to "Tell me about yourself" drove the entire interview. So be smart and steer the conversation
allowing you to talk about stuff off your resume - some interesting experiences and your hobbies.
1: Communication skills
2: Finance
3: Accounting
Tips
Just be fluent in whatever you say or explain. Usually client side roles demand that otherwise even that is
not a must. Knowing basics of finance is a must so that you know what kind of profile you are getting into.
Finance is a big field and has lots of divisions where you can try your hands on. Like Investment Banking,
Private Equity / VC, Private Banking, etc

Getting placed during the campus placement season is a huge achievement.Start preparing early. And
remember, placement prep never happens alone.
Irrespective of the kind of profile you are looking at, pair up with friendsand study together.
The pre-placement talk on campus by Credit Suisse officials, a neat jobdescription on the institute placement
portal made the role very appealing andtalking to IITM alumni at Credit Suisse helped me strengthen my choice.

CAT preparation would help. Strong basics in High school mathematics needed, along with some smart
thinking at times.

15 minutes given for an almost impossible to get an answer problem. Later asked to explain your solution. The
approach matters much much more than the final answer.
Tips
Be cool, think basics. Don't forget elementary things that units conversion, unitary methods, probability
distributions etc. If while explaining, you realize you actually made a mistake while attempting the
problem, acknowledge it and explain the correct approach from there on, rather than trying to disguise
your mistake.
Experience
Things like, why Citi, prior experience with data analytics, examples from real life for mathematical concepts
highlighted in Resume. Some general awareness related questions asked!
Tips
Be thorough through the resume. Act smart and reply what they want to hear. It's okay to ask them for a
few minutes in case you want to think before answering something rather than mumbling what comes to
your mind first!

Again things like why Citi, why analytics. This round seemed more out of formality than for selection.

Talk to people, read stuff, find out what interests you. Decide a few areas and prepare for those. Take part in
insti clubs, get to know new stuff.There are a number of free online video courses available like coursera, edX,
etc. Have a look at these, pick up one or two, learn whenever you have time. If possible, even submit the
assignments and give the quizzes. A programming language cannot be learned just by reading a book or
watching videos. You have to practice and do somehands-on exercises.While preparing for Puzzles and coding
questions, do not directly go to the solution, always make an attempt, scribble your thoughts on a piece of
paper.Participate in competitions (for both core and non-core), you ll learn a lot through such experiences than
what you learn from textbooks.

ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
It was a pen & paper test. There were 4 sections, 20 questions and 20 minutes for each section. You cannot
switch between the sections as they take the question paper after a particular section is timed out.
1. Verbal- Comprehension and basic grammatical sentence structuring. I solved the latter part first. It wasn't
very difficult
.2. Logic- Find the next number in series, next figure stuff. This was the simplest section.
a) Get the output (Almost all the codes had complexity n^2.)
b) Which of the following options is the correct algorithm for c) Output of flowchart (Honestly, I don’t even
remember seeing the flowcharts.)
I solved around 7-8, made logical guesses for the rest.There was no negative marking, so I made sure I
attempted all the questions. Also, I marked the answers with pencil, so that if I get time at the end of any
section, I can change an answer after cross checking. After the aptitude test, we were given a chance to interact
with the managers of the company. It was not a very formal session. Make sure you make the most of
this opportunity, as no other company gives you such a chance. Get all your doubts about the company cleared
in these 20-30 minutes. I gained some interesting insights about the company in this session. This was not an
elimination round.
Tips
All of us struggled with this section. My suggestion would be to scan the paper for the theory questions
first, then type a) questions and then type b). I doubt you’ll get time for type c). Another key point is to
not get stuck on a particular question for a long time. If you are finding it difficult, there’s a
possibility that others are also struggling with that question. So it would be wise to utilize that time to
solve a few simple questions rather than one tough question. After all, weightage for each question is the
same. ;)

time before answering any question- gives them an impression that you're putting thought into it. Make sure
your replies don't sound rehearsed and be honest. While talking about your weaknesses, make sure you do tell
them about steps that you have taken to overcome them. They later open flow to ask them questions. Here, one
must make sure that one knows the company well and ask questions specific to that company. Most often, you
won't realise the transition between HR and technical questions.

SELECTION PROCESS

Experience
This had 4 sections of 20 mcqs each. We were allotted 20 mins for each section after which theinvigilator would
take away the respective section’s question paper.The 1st section was Verbal Ability.The questions were based
on passages,complete the sentences with appropriate option and other general English qns such as find out
error in the sentence. No question on synonym antonym except maybe 1 passage based question of that sort
.English section was doable. Logic was the next section, it had questions based on blood relations, coding and
decoding letters, direction sense , a passage on cubes and other logical questions which were easy overall
Quants was next section which was a bit lengthy and had questions on pipes, speed distance and other
prominent quants topics.Next was the programming section which had language independent questions of
predict for the output of code, identify correct code, output of flowcharts and algorithms, multiple loops.
Adifficult section overall.About 80 students appeared and around 37 were shortlisted
Experience
There was no GD round unlike previous years and we had the technical round directly. I was asked to give a
briefing about the projects I had done so for this ,one should know the purpose of the project ,the technology
used ,the role you played ,the challenges you faced etc. Seeing my resume he asked me what I had learnt in a
networking workshop I had mentioned it along with 3-4 other technical workshops. I barely remembered
anything about itand said to him that I had attended it in my second year and I didn’t remember much.I
alsouttered a few concepts on networking I could recollect. So make sure you don’t appear dumb about
anything throughout the interview and keep the conversation going or don’t write things which you don’t
remember just for enhancing your resume as it could back-fire on you.Asked me what is relational database
Which editor is used in linux, what is shell scripting,commands in linux? Why JPMC?

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
It was an easy exam(The UL one). Basic quant questions were asked. But easy exams are tricky ones. You
cannot afford to make mistakes. So speed and accuracy were expected.
There are lot of companies that short list based on aptitude test. Most of them shortlist around 40-50 people
for the next round. So CAT preparation(or the likes of CAT,GRE etc) is a MUST even if you are not actually giving
CAT. Speed and Accuracy is required. Practice infinite. Only then you can make it to the short list.
ROUND 2: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
It was a happy round. I had to talk about me, which is easy if you are well aware of who you are and what you
want. I was fortunate, I was asked an easy puzzle midway and a small Guesstimate.
Tips
Keeping Calm and Talking whatever I know in a confident way helped a lot. Also, asking him a bunch of
questions about the company.
Q1: Increase the sales of Sofas over the next three months.
Q2: Set up a Cab service like Ola in Chennai and develop a strategy to optimize costs and revenue etc.
Q3: If you’re a consultant for a Multiplex Cinemas, What would you do to create revenue generation avenues?
Experience
It was a 40 minute interview.This interview had a bit untidy start. It took time for me to handle the first
question, where I had to increase the sales of sofas. But I took my time, jotted down my thoughts and never
stopped again. So, stay cool throughout and it helps. I could do well in all 3 questions.
Tips
Talking to the interviewer about whatever you know in the smartest way always helps. I guess my minor
helped. Doing the common stuff is more than enough.

makes difference.
Tips
Practice! Practice! Practice! Even though you don’t want to attempt CAT you must definitely practice with
material. Several practice tests will be available online too.
Experience
It started with normal conversation where I was asked about my interests then followed by guesstimate and a
puzzle. I did the guesstimate well. I stumbled while solving puzzle, but then I went over it again from the
beginning and finally solved it.
Tips
If you feel that you are going in the wrong direction then ask the interviewer and start it from scratch
without getting tensed. Its approach that will be observed not the outcome.
Experience
It was completely HR based stress interview. I was questioned about my weaknesses and I had to convince the
interviewer by quoting examples of thing done by me. At the end there was general discussion about the
company.

"This review has been posted by a BTECH & MTECH student of Chemical Engineering Branch"
SELECTION PROCESS
Experience
I had really good points in my resume. I had done few courses related to data analysis, projects (my DD project
was related to data analysis), PORs.
I prepared my resume points very thoroughly. I wrote about each point and then discussed with my friends and
took their opinion about that.
Tips
Its better to review your review by atleast 5-8 people. so that you can make relevant changes. I think, it's
good to highlight the end result of any project or intern.
Try to connect ur resume point to the skills required for the company.
ROUND 2: INTERVIEW
Experience
These two questions were asked in two different case interviews. My overall experience was good. In first one, I
had good approach because I had done one project in which I followed the similar approach (how the whole
institute can be categorized and how to calculate the number of ppl according different sections- students,
profs, employees, workers etc)
As the second case, i felt was tough because how mess work in our college is different from any other private
canteen. So for that you had to ask many questions.
Tips
In the case interviews, interviewer just check for approach but they expect you to reach at conclusion
also. As you start solving the case, you can ask for extra information during solving it.
ROUND 3: TEST
Experience
Most of the companies will have 60 questions in 60 mins. most of the companies (analytics profile)1/3 of
portion will be verbal. My overall experience with tests was not good.
ROUND 4: INTERVIEW
Q1: Why you want to work with us? why would you prefer this profile? ur strength, weakness?
Experience
These all questions were asked in third round of interview. I had very strong reason to choose business analyst
profile and the company because my courses and projects showed my interest in this field.
Tips
I think, it's good to be honest and answer the HR questions. even I gave myself 9/10 points for analytical
skills.
even if you haven't done any work related to this field but you show interest and have good analytical
skills, then also any company will select you.
It's good to have overall idea of how any business works in the given sector which can help you in asking
relevant question when they ask if you have any question for them. Good question which shows ur depth
of understanding of industry, gives really good impression on interviewer.
Experience
This company didn't have group discussion. This was my first company and i got into it.
Tips
I practised many GDs with my friends and i attended soft skill workshop by tvs. The workshop was not
helpful. The mock GDs and interviews which were organised by alumni associations were really helpful.
They give feedback also.
One can google out the GD topics and practice with wing mates.

Interview
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
The test was conducted by cocubes.com. I didn't even clear the aptitude during the on campus process. It's
fairly easy though. Attempt at least 13 questions. I think the cut-off was around 10. Around 450 students
passed this barrier.
Experience
Some details were provided about a pharmaceutical company. We were expected to write down 3 questions that
we deemed important regarding the details provided. Also we were to ask 3 additional questions that would give
additional details about the problem statement. (10 minutes). These two rounds were combined and then there
was an elimination. Around 100 people cleared these rounds.

Our GD was initially based on the video itself. After 10 minutes, our monitor gave us a new topic- Iron Man vs.
Super Man. 3 from 8 people were selected. The selection was based on the quantity as well as quality of the
matter you spoke. Again, these 2 rounds were combined and then an elimination. At least 50 cleared this round.
ROUND 6: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
There are scores given to you based on your performance in each round. So after the GD round, if you pass a
certain threshold, you'd have only one interview with the senior HR. I didn't, so had to go through 2 interviews.
My 1st interview lasted for 65-70 minute. The other half of my interview was based entirely on my resume.
Questions about my experience as the Head of Finance for IETE and Udaan'14 were asked. I had to tell him in
great details about what did I actually do. What did I learn from my experience and would you recommend your
juniors taking up such positions.
ROUND 7: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
I had to wait for 3 hours for the final interview confirmation. The last interview was a kind of a formality I
suppose. Questions like tell me about yourself and my hobbies were asked. Then again resume based questions
were asked. I was asked to ask some questions about the company. (Always ask). I asked two questions and I
was done.

Interview questions were mostly core. Here and there a few HR questions were asked. A lot of questions on
Heat,mass transfer. They asked some very basic HR questions to see if i was prepared.
Tips
They look for students who have good conceptual knowledge of fundamentals of core courses.They look
for students genuinely interested in core profile and hence grilled me on core knowledge.
Tips
Solved some mock core tests given by BC. Brushed up on important concepts in CRE, HT, MT, momentum
transfer etc.Looked at GATE papers of past five years.

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
The test had aptitude and technical sections in equal parts. the aptitude part was very easy, you have to score
almost full in this section if you are from IITs. The technical part was also easy, but you have to get your basics
right to score well in the test.Once you got through the test round,you have great chances of getting the
job.During my placement, they selected people who scored above 90%.
Tips
In the technical round, all the topics will be covered, so you should be clear with your basics in all the
topics.I had to put special attention on topics such as pumps since it was not taught for us.
Experience
If you have an above average CGPA, they try really hard to eliminate you in the technical round, so brace
yourself and be ready for it.If you are an average pointer,you will find it relatively easy, you will get through the
round provided you don't show your stupidity.
Mine was a stress interview right from the start, they didn't agree upon whatever I said. In fact at one point one
of the interviewer turned towards another and just said "yeh kuch bhi boltha hai yaar". At the end I got through.
I attribute my success to the tolerance and patience I showed during the interview.Whatever they say try not to
give up and try to answer their questions in a crisp manner.
They asked questions about my projects as well as questions on application of chemical engineering in the
industry.
Tips
I attribute my success to the tolerance and patience I showed during the interview.Whatever they say try
not to give up and try to answer their questions in a crisp manner.
ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
All the candidates who got through the technical round got the jobs.So as you can understand the HR round is
"Naam ke vasthe" atleast during my placement.
Tips
If you aim for Reliance, preparing for GATE really helps you.
GENERAL TIPS/ADVICE
Especially for this company people need not bother about their communication skills. If you just can
communicate your ideas in english that's suffice.

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
Questions asked were from basic civil engineering. They were not just structural but from other streams as well.
Mostly structural were expected so that was a bit disappointing. English was bit difficult, long passages for
comprehension were given. Aptitude was easy enough. The filling of form between the test with general
information about one self was a bit annoying.
Experience
No problems were asked to solve neither any BMD'S were asked to be drawn. Resume was looked at and asked
what was taught in some courses, some details of the project being worked on as well. It was a friendly talk than
an interview. Then a few simple questions were asked.
ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
Firstly was asked to introduce himself. Details about family and siblings and what they are doing were also
asked. Some other general questions like, hobbies, how much are you interested, what are your future plans etc
were also asked. Interview didn't seem like it was critical, it was easy.

ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
There was negative marking for these questions (+4 & -1) and the number of questions in the second section
were more (10 and 20 respectively, I think).The second part of the test was a Coding Round, online. We were
given 3 problem statements to be solved in 45 minutes and the programming languages allowed were C, C++
and Java. However you are required to use the same language for Part 1 (Technical Skills) and Part 2 (Coding
Round). So make sure you know any one language in its entirety. I hadn’t touched anything apart from C. The
questions were essentially based on data structures.
Tips
Word of caution: Be wise in designing your strategy to solve questions, there always IS a sectional cut off
and the competition is cutthroat.
Q1: How would you find whether a number is even or odd without using any conditions?
Q2: Implement a dynamic 2D excel sheet using DS (underwent various levels of improvisations)
Q3: A build up that resulted in the concept of using joins in DBMS
Q4: Discussed the concept of virtual memory and paging in OS
Experience
-1 was pretty much basic, probably just for them to find out whether you know everything that you claim to
know. I was asked questions on the basics of C, Data structure implementation, DBMS AND OS. Sounds
daunting, but it really wasn't. My panellists were really cool about giving me all the time in the world to think
about my answers, they'd even roll their chairs to the corner of the room and chit chat when I'd ask them to
stop looking at me. Not a recommended course of action for you guys, because you might get really badass
panellists who might want to take a stress interview and using this would probably get you a ticket to take you
directly out of the building. But the point is that you don't need to panic when you're asked a question that you
don't understand AT ALL. It is probably just a coating of shiny silver on a very basic problem. ALWAYS
remember to restate the question as you understood it to make sure that you're on the right track. If you're
right you get a bonus for being able to analyse well. If you're not, they will make you understand and you won't
spend 15 minutes of your interview time solving a misinterpreted question.
Experience
Experience
This round was perhaps the most difficult of all, with gruelling technical questions that I couldn't make head or
tail out of. But they were satisfied with a broad outlook to the number of solutions and the different ways to
approach the problem. They asked me a little about how my day had been till then and for improvisations on the
answers to the questions I was asked in the previous rounds. I was also asked a question about synchronization
that I answered with my knowledge of embedded systems. They were really interested in how I applied
unrelated knowledge to solve a problem that I would otherwise not be able to answer. This was the end of
TECH-2 which made me believe that I had screwed up entirely and that I was out for sure.
Experience
I went in to my ProFit round with an "I-should-really-have the-best-time-with-this-thing-since-it-is-all-down-
the-drain-anyway" attitude, but really, I think that is just what you're expected to do anyway. :) This ended up
being the coolest round of all and I had the time of my life for those 30 minutes. My interviewer asked me ALL
the general questions you expect in an HR, and I answered them all very, very truthfully and with really long
explanations :P The guy was a veeeeery keen listener and caught on to each and every one of my indications. He
let me talk about practically everything, from my very hippie-like outlook of life to the most silly bets I have
placed, ever. And the best part was that he was always interested, poker-face like, but always waiting patiently
for more exemplifications. Don't bother trying to make up achievements you haven't really made, because they
don't care about how accomplished you are, more like how zestful you are, and it probably shows when you're
talking about things that you love. Long story short, talk your heart out, they hardly speak in all of those 30
minutes. Let them know that you really ARE passionate about the things that you do.
ROUND 6: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
The next round that I was immediately ushered into was my HR. Now, I probably felt what I did because I had
talked a LOT in my previous round, but I really thought this round was predominantly precursory. My
interviewer was one of the big shots of the day, but he hardly asked me any questions that could qualify as HR.
This person was the only one from all of my interviews who was even remotely rigid, but that too only
marginally. He was ultra-friendly again by the end of the interview. This might vary case by case, but he only
asked me things like my comfort with relocation and what I aimed to achieve in the next 5 years. At the end of
the interview, he kid around a little and escorted me to the waiting room.

SELECTION PROCESS
Test--> Technical Interview--> Group Activity--> Technical Interview--> HR Interview--> fitness roound
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
The first round, quite naturally, was the aptitude round. We had to answer questions that were designed to test
our quantitative and technical abilities. But this was only the first part. The second part involved finding
computational solutions to simulated situations. These questions needed to be solved in a programming
language we were asked to choose earlier, during the aforementioned first part. I chose to do it in Java as that
is one language I am really thorough with. I understand that C/C++ are more important and versatile, but what
matters here is your inherent understanding of the concepts involved
Experience
We had to build model buildings, using LEGO blocks. Other than the fact that I love building things from other
smaller things, the supplied material took me back to my childhood days. We were divided into four groups. Two
in each room, and each group consisted of 8-10 candidates. We were given a time limit within which we had to
design and construct a building. As a surprise, after half time, they asked the two groups in each room to merge
their projects. This probably was to see if the candidates were pro-active team players, and could handle
unexpected situations like professionals.
Experience
There was another technical interview after the group activity. I was interviewed by two of their officers, who
again asked questions similar to those from the first technical round. It went quite well, since I was quite
confident about the way I was solving the problems they gave me. Thinking out loud is key, as that lets them in
your problem-solving abilities. That way, they let you know if you are headed in the right direction. My
interviewers were quite pleasant, as they liked discussing possible scenarios to the problems they gave me.
Experience
There was an HR round, where the woman interviewed me about my projects. She needed to know if I had the
guts to finish whatever it is that I started. So she asked more on the lines on my role in the projects I had
undertaken in the previous years. She also asked me about my working experience from before. That too went
well. It was pretty much a standard HR interview – projects, hobbies, traits, etc.
Experience
There was another round in the end, which was to test the candidate’s professional fitness – if they indeed are
the right people for the job. I found it to be a blend of technical and HR interviews, more on the lines of HR
though. All in all, it was a brilliant experience
GENERAL TIPS/ADVICE
To my juniors, study hard, be sincere, be yourself, be smart (preferably in that order, but you are free to
improvise!)

Experience
We had two group activities, the first was a Group Case study. Groups of 5 or 6 students were made. The GD
was about Barclays taking over a company which had high net worth people which used Aurelia software. The
software was good but it was badly coded. So you had few flow charts with the cost, which was used in order to
shift this high net worth people on the Barclays Platform. You could also make a new flow chart too but then you
had to specify cost. This was the same topic which our seniors had during their process.
The second one was a Group Exercise - a Strategy game called Slide and Score. Here team work and
coordination is more important. Just follow the rules. They will give you some time to practice the game as well
Experience

You are shortlisted based on your application & resume. I feel more importance is given to the application. You
are asked to list out and briefly explain your internships, projects, extra/co-curricular activities and any
Positions of responsibilities you have held. You also have to give in a couple of short essays highlighting your
short and long term objectives, achievements and an instance where you applied your mind over matter.

Experience
The GD happened in groups of six and was for 30 minutes which included the five minutes of prep time. We were

with a consensus the best alternative to solve the energy crisis in the region.
We came up with a couple of key parameters and rated each of the projects based on those. We weren't able to
reach a conclusion.
Tips
The moderator looks for a structure in your analysis and the manner in which you present it to the team.
It'll be great if everyone agrees with your point which reflects your natural leadership skills. Your body
language counts a lot. Stay attentive and look engaged and passionate about the discussion. You get
points for starting a GD but do so only if you have a good point in mind. Never put any disagreement to a
vote - try reaching a consensus.

The first round went on for about 45 minutes. The first few questions were a set of typical HR introductory
questions. Next the questions were primarily about my interships and projects. I found this round pretty fast
paced and rapid. They would randomly pick something from my resume (So be through with everything on your
resume!) and would ask me to briefly explain it. Then there were tons of follow up questions, for example, why
did you use this pump, why did you limit your model to these inputs etc. There were also a few HR questions
which were behavioral in nature - wherein you would be asked to give an instance from your life that illustrated
a competency like people skills conflict resolution etc.
Tips
Make sure you are able to speak constructively about every line in your resume. Have a clear
understanding of every project/internship. Revise all your courses from a practical standpoint. I would
highly recommend going through the Lab experiments and their respective chapters in McCabe & Smith.
ROUND 4: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
The second interview was reasonably laid back and chilled out. I was interviewed by the CEO and MDs of the ITC
Printing and Packaging division. The interview went on for about 20 minutes and was HR based.
Tips
Interviews are nothing but a story telling competition. Pick a unifying theme and prepare a story for
yourself. This should come out in the first two/three minutes of the interview. Make sure you have a
rationale behind having done everything you have put in your resume. The interviewers look at your
resume in its totality and not as bunch of independent spikes.
DO NOT mug up answers to standard HR questions. You'll sound unnatural and fake and won't strike a
chord with the interviewer. Have a set of bullet points ready and go over them in a way you would, when
you meet someone on a train.

SELECTION PROCESS
Tips
1 or 2 page Resume. Stress on your positions of responsibilities, internships and your academic projects.
Try to highlight the mathematical values about your project (eg: 50 lakh investment, 20 lakh returns,
20% efficiency increase etc etc)
Experience
Some story with different characters and their involvement in the situation was given. The story revolves around
work ethics and maintenance of confidential information about the company. At the end we need to discuss and
come to a conclusion as to who is main culprit or the person responsible for causing the problem in the
company.
Tips
Don't be too demanding or too easy going in the GD. If you don't know how to start just wait so that
someone will catch up and u can definitely join in. It's good if you can start first but make sure you have
enough content to be put up bcoz u started first. Don't try to cut other's while they speak but try to
remain in the conversation as much as you can. Try to give a proper conclusion from your end as much as
possible because I feel that the reviewers will be very attentive towards the end than in the middle. Even if
your GD doesn't go well don't worry bcoz there are points both for your application and GD so if you have
a strong application then you can easily be shortlisted.
Experience
I had an internship in P&G. ITC being an FMCG too most of my interview revolved around the work I did in P&G.
It was easy for me bcoz I just had to explain all the stuff which I already did. They asked a bit about my POR's
and sports and I explained them briefly..that's it :)
ROUND 4: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
This interview is mainly to understand whether u r a right fit to ITC or not. They will ask u questions as I stated
above. Try to be honest as possible but make sure u don't say anything which is not in line with the company
(For eg: When they say about factory work say them that u like it ..if u r honest and say u dont like factory work
then there are high chances that u wont be selected bcoz they are mainly looking for people to work in factories
in supply chain profile)
Tips
When they questions about other interviews (and if u r actually attending other company interviews) be
honest and say them the truth. Don't say that u r not attending others bcoz they will have the list of all
companies u r shortlisted on Day-1..
As you know ITC is an Indian FMCG so try not to focus on other things abroad. They might ask some trap
questions like ..Do u like working in foreign countries etc..here u should not say no but yes either..try to
put in a good way which favour them the most. (u can say that India is a developing country and there is a
lot of potential which can be tapped here so focusing in India can definitely be good in the
future..something like that..:P)
Finally I want to say that its not about ITC or any other company whenever u attend any interview try to
be yourself and use your words properly which will give a positive impact to the interviewer that you can
actually profit the company a lot than anyone else.
Hope it helps :)

Tips
The objective was to choose the best alternative to solve the energy crisis in the region.
Experience
This round was primarily core based. The first few questions were a set of typical HR introductory
questions. Next thequestions were primarily about my interships and projects. I found this round pretty fast
paced and rapid. They would randomly pick something from my resume and would ask me to briefly explain
it. Then there were tons of follow up questions. There were also a few HR questions which were behavioural in

ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
Tips
Make sure you are able to speak constructively about every line in your resume. Have a clear
understanding of every project/internship. Revise all your courses from a practical standpoint. I would
highly recommend going through the Lab experiments and their respective chapters in McCabe &
Smith. Apart from Core, I was focusing on Finance. I had cleared CFA level 1 and so I revised the syllabus
once. I would recommend reading the Econ, CorpFin, Portfolio Management and Derivatives portions of
the level 1 syllabus. Reading ET everyday can be of great help in the interview andGD. Also pick and read
about any five major Fin/Econ episodes in the world. Apart from that practice puzzles regularly. And
MOST importantly prep for CAT. Almost all the companies beyond Day 1.1 have CAT based tests as a
shortlisting criteria.
GENERAL TIPS/ADVICE
Interviews are nothing but a story telling competition. Pick a unifying theme and prepare a story for yourself.
This should come out in the first two/three minutes of the interview. Make sure you have a rationale behind
having done everything you have put in your resume. The interviewers look at your resume in its totality and not
as bunch of independent spikes. Google the company. Check out their latest corporate news, product lauches
etc. Have answers ready for the following questions - Introduce yourself (2-3 minutes pitch. Clear, concise and
well bucketed as acads/interns etc), Strengths & Weaknesses (Pick 3 each and back them up with instances
from ur life) and Long term and short term goals (Make sure they are alligned with the firm's culture). Follow
the STAR approach (Google it) to answer HR questions. DO NOT mug up answers to standard HR questions.
You'll sound unnatural and fake and won't strike a chord with the interviewer. Have a set of bullet points ready
and go over them in a way you would when you meet someone on a train.

ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
It included quantitative ability questions and a few subjective coding type questions. Nothing known about
cutoff as almost major chunk of people appearing for the test were called for the interview.The criteria for test is
mainly on CGs and at timesdepartments too.There are rare companies like BCG, DB who actually refer your
resumes for interviews without tests.
Experience
2 rounds of interview were there – first the technical interview which included questions on your resume.
Detailed questionson every point you have mentioned, cross checking whether you really know aboutit at times
asking you for examples. No speed math was included. The interview was purely on all the stuff mentioned in the

related (not in the resume) to stuffmentioned as part of skills. So while exaggerating any point be aware
of everyfact about it.

Experience
The HR interview included personal level questions like tell me about yourself, where you hail from, positives,
negatives, why cognizant, why non-core, how do you see yourself after 2-3 years etc.The second stage may

(Pretty good team this year compared to his year(he was placement coord too), Good that it was in same
hostel.) DB didn’t come. I sat for 3 company interviews. 2nd company knew that I had attended the first
company’s interview so they didn’t take me seriously. So make sure you send people to interviews according to
their preference. Last year,only one mock test was conducted (Momentumtransfer) for core subjects. These
should have been more core tests. I also suggest, keep a presentation in the even sem for internships because
companies start coming early in August.

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
Some companies don’t make any strict regulations regarding the language in question, but Microsoft always
goes with C/C++. The questions are similar to what you would find in books like “Let us C”. Questions
regarding pointer manipulation, predicting the output, pre-order postorder increment decrement, structures,
arrays formed the majority. · These are their favourite areas of computer science that they choose to focus on.
That being said the questions asked in this section were quite few. Maybe 5 or less than that. Questions
regarding like memory allocation in OS, preferred data structure for a particular application, properties of
database management systems made it in.
Tips
1. While preparing for the aptitude, sharpen your C skills. Give second preference to OS, DBMS and
DSA. 2. Get extensive practice in the most common types of C aptitude questions and give regular online
tests. 3. Cover what you can in OS, DBMS and DSA in the time that remains.
Experience
Once you clear the aptitude you become eligible for the programming round. This round has two questions
meant to be solved in C. The focus is on the following aspects and in this particular order:CorrectnessOutput is
correct for the given test cases Completeness Output is correct for all the test cases Time Complexity The
program has the specified time complexity or less Space Complexity The program does not occupy too much
excess space
You don’t have to write the entire programs just the necessary functions to perform the tasks given. The results
were declared after a few days when Microsoft visited.
Question1 - Find an element in a rotated sorted array in O(log n) time. For ex. Find 4 in 7 8 9 1 2 4 5
Question2 - With a parent pointer in every node of a binary tree, find the in order successor of a given node. I
solved both of these questions, yet my solution for the first one used some amortized amount of time
(amortized time is time that is not significant enough to affect the order, that is log n, but it is not too
insignificant to be ignored as constant) more than the required time constraint which had me worried a little
Tips
Work on getting at least the right answer, worry about the run time and space complexity later. Even
people who could get just the right answer made it to the wildcard round
Experience
Keep it real. Say stuff that is good about you AND makes you a good candidate for the job. You never have more
than 3-4 minutes for such questions so focus on conveying what is most important. After general introductions,
I talked about how passionate I am about programming and technology in general, how I didn’t just see it as a
subject or a career option but something that I enjoyed doing and have successfully used in my daily life. Talk
about what values and work ethics you believe in. End it with what qualities you have as a person or as a
possible employee. Please note that you should not leave the interviewer on just your words to believe on. Give
short descriptive examples to support what you are saying but don’t go on telling long boring stories I gave the
required answers. I am not elaborating on this part since this is something that you can answer just by knowing
your stuff. It was nothing out of the ordinary but it wasn’t all that easy. DSA and DBMS were among my
favourite subjects so I did pretty well. I wrote the code since I had actually made the application. This is an
important question where he was testing whether I told the truth or not earlier. So whatever happens do not lie
or make up even a single detail while explaining something, you never know what might come back to haunt
you Write code for designing the ADT (Abstract Data Type) for all the classes that might be required to
represent the game of chess Me: This was the kind of question that I wasn’t expecting. Also the reason I got
this question was that I had mentioned chess in my hobbies. So keep in mind every small thing you put in your
resume matters a lot. He allowed me to choose my language of choice so I began with Java and then I did the
important part.
ROUND 5: HR INTERVIEW

Why Microsoft?- Give some answer that is well thought and prepared beforehand.

ROUND 2: CODING
Experience
Write 2 functions(not entire programs) in C language on cocubes.com platform Q.1 Find an element in a rotated
sorted array in O(log n) time. For ex. Find 4 in 7 8 9 1 2 4 5 A binary search technique could also do it in O(log
n). They wanted an optimized binary sort and so I felt, the question wasn't clear enough. Didn't attempt it and
told the interviewer the reason. Q.2 With a parent pointer in every node of a binary tree, find the in order
successor of a given node. Solved only the second, but I ensured it could work on all boundary cases. Results of
round 2 were declared on the day Microsoft visited the campus.
Experience
How would you find least common ancestor of two nodes in a binary tree? I said you could use two stacks, push
nodes as you traverse and then compare when you are popping. He asked me to explain on the whiteboard. I
did, but realised there was a problem, I looked at him and he was there, smiling as wide as he could. I asked for
2 minutes, and then gave him a better approach with a stack and a hash table. He seemed satisfied
Tips
Keep talking while you are solving a problem/writing code. This keeps him informed of your progress and
if you are lucky, you might receive some help. He repeatedly had been asking me stand up and sit to
explain everything on the board. So eat adequately on any interview day.
ROUND 4: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
Asked me to write a function for reversing characters in a string and left the room. I wrote 4 lines of code to
swap characters from ends. A vague question it was, he returned and explained what he wanted later. It was his
fault but I politely apologized for not understanding the question. Remember: The boss is always right!
He wanted the string to be reversed alphabetically. So if it was "adecb", it should become "edcba". I wrote code.
He had a 2-second glance at it, and then asked for an explanation
Experience
A happy two hour discussion-cum-interview on designing another Facebook, all data structures, algorithms that
can be used and features, optimisations that could be added. I asked him a few conceptual questions related to
his subjects of interest and he answered delightfully. He gave me his email ID to contact him for more
knowledge and for a second I missed my heartbeat, coz that might mean he won’t meet again. But results were
announced and there he was, shaking my hands with a gleaming smile.

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
It consisted of 20 questions primarily on C (What will be the output/error types). 3-4 of these questions were
on basic logic, data structure, operating system etc. 30 minutes were given, which everyone found adequate.
The test was not very difficult since I was thorough with books such as . Two codes were to be written,
compulsorily in C. Both the questions were directly taken from the book Cracking. Question 1: A sorted array is
given, but it is rotated an unknown number of times. Find an element in this array. Time complexity should be
log(n). Array example: 15, 17, 19, 50, 1, 2, 6, 8. I did not know how to do it. I tried a modified binary search
but it did not work for all cases. So I just used a normal for-loop (Linear Search)Question 2: Find the in-order
successor of a node in a binary tree.
Q1: 1. Tell me about yourself (This was the first question in every interview I ever gave. So prepare a good
answer for it).
Q2: 2. Print first 200 Fibonacci numbers in reverse order. (I did it but it was not efficient).
Q3: 3. Check whether a string is palindrome or not.
Q4: 4. What is normalization? Explain 2NF, 3NF, BCNF. (I didn’t know BCNF).

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Tips
You should be familiar with OOP concepts and a few concepts like binary tree. Also aptitude and quant
questions (like in CAT). They will test your coding skills thoroughly during the test (only in the prog.
language that you opted) and will question your logic and your approach to the problem. Be thorough
with your coding basics.
Tips
The tech rounds focused mostly on coding. You can choose any programming language that you are
comfortable with. They are not insistent that you know Java. I chose C++. The interviewers mainly look at
how you approach the questions (the way you solve the question - if its the most efficient/fastest solution
to the problem). They will also ask quite a lot of puzzles (the ones you can prepare from Heard on the
street, 400 puzzles etc.) and a few CAT quant qns.
ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
HR round is very easy
Tips
Basic qns that you will prepare for any company. Be sure to attend the PPT; the HR will surely ask you a
few qns from it. Also know a bit about the company and the profile you are sitting for.

Experience
A balanced resume is preferred. It helped me in the further stages of the selection process, as everything was
quite based on how was my resume.
ROUND 2: TEST
Experience
It was actually and English skill based test, more like a basic clearance test. Two different rounds were
there:(i)Listen/read and then fill up questions (approx. 45min) (ii) Telephonic test (computer generated
test, approx. 15min).
I also appeared for other companies like Auctus and Reliance. Auctus had direct interview SL and Reliance had
Aptitude and Technical (Mech) approx. 30 minutes each.
Tips
Aptitude is a must, so practice.
Experience
They actually tested the skills of the way you interact in a group and essence of your points. Felt that they
didn’t concentrate much on speaking skills as such.
Tips
Practice to talk in groups, current affairs and even random topics.
Experience
Basic understanding of Big Data and tested on enthusiasm.
For others:
Reliance – Corrosion & welding based questions; it was mainly a technical round
Auctus – Only HR was taken
For core:Reliance – Corrosion engineering, welding courses and a bit of 1st year metallurgy. BTP was related to
Corrosion and discussion about BTP happened.
Tips
Puzzles (for most startups) and HR & resume based for others mostly.
Tips
Starting earlier helps and I started around October. Aptitude requires some time and it is better to start
atleast during summer vacation. Last two months before placements can be spent for other preparations.

Puzzles partially
GENERAL TIPS/ADVICE
Aptitude and puzzle preparation is a must. For interviews prepare things very much related to the company.
(For startups knowledge related to their field might be a plus point)If people are looking for Non-Core: better
that they do some good and useful non-core intern atleast once, taking part in competitions will also help.
2ndyears can learn ‘R’ or any other technical stuffs which can be useful for non-core (mainly, Fin or
analytics)Case studies are good to prepare for one month atleast.

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
English skill based test, it was more like a basic clearance test. There were two different rounds one of them was
to listen/read and then fill up questions (approx. 45min) other one was the Telephonic test (computer
generated test, approx. 15min).
Tips
Aptitude is a must, so practise
Experience
Here the way you interact in a group and essence of your points. Personally I felt that they didn’t concentrate
much on speaking skills as such.
Tips
Practise to talk in groups, current affairs and even random topics
ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
I was tested on basic understanding of Big Data and tested on enthusiasm
Tips
Puzzles (for most startups) and HR & resume based for others mostly.prepare things very much related to
the company.
Tips
Starting earlier helps . Aptitude requires some time and it is better to start atleast during summer

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
Quant was most important for the tests, fast mathematics, then technical questions. Technical questions
generally asked by the company. The tests were mostly MCQ. Some tests were there which had subjective
question papers. Those subjective type tests lasted 3 hours. They would write a program to do *task* type
questions. The programming
language to write the code in, was our choice. The language options were C, C++, Python, Java. Python was
rarely asked
Tips
The skills they wanted to test was to see how well they were able to express their ideas, but without
outwardly disrupting others while talking.
ROUND 3: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
The HR usually starts with “Tell me about yourself”. Then they go through the resume, and ask about the
project (DDP, in this case) and internship. This was done by the HR team, just to see how the candidate is
putting forth his ideas and contributions clearly. Two puzzles were given in the interview.The interview was at
least 40 minutes, with 5 minutes of HR interview HR people were not interested in the depth of the resume, but
rather on whether the candidate was able to talk or not. It was used to eliminate some people.
Tips
People with low CGPA had to perform exceptionally well to compensate for the low CGPA. For managerial
positions, PoRs like coordships, coreships etc can be used to pitch your leadership qualities. They can
start a chain of conversation that involves the work you did, on how you managed to execute the task
efficiently, which ends up working in your favor.

SELECTION PROCESS
Experience
I had sent my resume to the hiring group, Selection through telephonic interviews. I was interviewed by three
different research groups (once by each).
Tips
Factors in decreasing order of importance: CGPA each stage. Ability to explain your projects
precisely. Ability to solve ''standard" logarithmic problems. The way you think and put down your
Answer is the most important. The final answer .s not so I important, and they prod you when you
think out aloud anyway.
Experience
Almost- by default they ask about your previous projects/internships if they are relevant to the group. Ofher
questions depend on the group you are interviewed by and your own profile, In my case it was machine
learning, text mining etc. I was told about the research problem they were dealing with then and asked f or
comments/suggestions/.inputs and a discussion followed.
Tips
Basically these are specialized Interviews so it's good to have sound knowledge of your domain
(analytical and application skills are very much required).
Tips
CGPA>9.0, 1f not (like me) relevant work done in the domain and in past internship.A recommendation
from the professor is also a good add on.

Test--> HR Interview
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
Since exam was conducted by Cocubes, the questions were more or less of similar difficulty level for most of the
placement tests. I cleared many of the tests and I found the questions easy but the time limit is little too less if
you have not practiced enough quant for placements.
There were two coding questions out of which I solved one completely and the other one partially.
Tips
Start quant and verbal preparation as early as possible and that will take care of placement tests.
ROUND 2: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
It was good as I had prepared myself for most of the questions and interviewers were quite friendly.
If I could not come up with a convincing answer I always responded confidently that I was not sure.I was asked
to solve a coding problem. It was tricky.They asked me about the online course entitled "Playful science of
Android apps" which I did on Coursera.They also asked me about the courses I mentioned on my resume and as
to how they were relevant to them.Overall it was a good experience.
Tips
Prepare prepare prepare!!Prepare for most commonly asked questions.Do research about the
company.Conduct a mock interview session with your friends.

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
3 sections - Quant, Verbal and Logical Reasoning.No sectional time limit and sections could be attempted in any
order. However, they might have section-wise cut-offs (not sure) and so each section must be given
importance. It is a speed based test. Level of difficulty is easy to moderate
Tips
You need to be quick. Do not waste too much time on any question. All questions contain equal marks.
You can come back to the remaining questions later.Try maximizing your score in the apti. A lot of
preference is given to the high scorers of the apti.
Experience
It started with a brief introduction-Tell us about yourself. Till the time you answer, one panellist goes through
your resume.Be thorough with everything you write in your resume. Do not write fake stuff, they question you
on anything that you have written.They asked me about everything- projects, seminar topic, languages
mentioned, extra-curricular activities A lot of SQL questions were asked. They ask concepts, queries, syntax.
The had questioned me a lot on JOINS.
Tips
Support everything you say with an example. (eg. if u say you have leadership qualities, give an example
of when you have been a leader).If you don’t know an answer, tell it to them honestly. Don’t try to fool
them.
Experience
Standard puzzles that you normally prepare for interviews were asked. Do not give away the answer
immediately as if u know it by heart. Think aloud and explain them every step. It does not matter even if the final
answer is wrong, the approach is important. In my case, I wasn’t prepared with the puzzle I was asked so I
explained it to them from myperspective. Even though the final answer was wrong, the approach was correct so
they qualified me for the next round. Also, they smartly try to confuse you. So remain confident in what you say.
Do not argue if you are very confident, explain it to them politely. In the tech part of the interview, basic
java/c/c++ questions wereasked. (what is object oriented programming? What is inheritance?
Experience
Be prepared with all sorts of HR questions- strengths, weaknesses, happiest moment, proudest moment etc).
Why EXL? One Fermi question was asked in this round. Again here, the approach is important, not the final
answer. Beprepared with a question to ask at the end of the interview- it could be abt the company/ data
analytics or anything. That shows your interest in the job
Tips
Don’t panic or be nervous. Stay calm. Once the interview starts, they make you feelvery comfortable.

SELECTION PROCESS
ROUND 1: TEST
Experience
It was not that difficult and so the cut offs were high. I started the quant preparation from RS Agarwal (found it
too repetitive so stopped midway) and started with Arun Sharma(first 2 levels of few important topics like
logical reasoning and statistics).Always target to be in the top so that you have your interviews early because
last year the hiring team were in a hurry and so they rushed with the interviews of later part students. Few
people call these LUCK FACTORs.
Tips
Remember the imp. topics would be Probability, Statistics ,Work-Time.
Experience
Questioned me about my college activities , few common puzzles and then came the most interesting part. They
gave me a case study based on sports since I had mentioned my interests. It had to do with probability, Bayes
Theorem and logic...sum real bad logic...I liked this even though I had no basic idea of how to start with this .It
was as if He was teaching me there itself on these .We discussed a lot-almost 20 minutes on this .At times he
used to stress out few questions and I had to ensure that I stayed firm with my answers. They try to confuse
you. You just keep smiling and be firm with your answers. Stay damn confident with yours. Then he moved onto
another case study wherein I had to list all types of data to be collected , decisions to be made if I were to start
an ice-cream shop in a famous shopping mall. It was a discussion wherein I needed to justify my decisions on
how to make maximum profits in any situation. Took almost 45 minutes to come out
Experience
This one was with a very cool person who continuously kept on offering me Oreo biscuits This round had to do
with puzzles which you will find in How to Ace the BrainTeaser (I don’t recollect which were the puzzles). I could
answer 3 of the 5 asked. Then he moved to C programming. Asked me to write code to print few patterns ,
optimize them further and that was it. Took hardly 20 minutes for this round.

SELECTION PROCESS
Experience
I have applied through a website and after around a month's time I got call for the first round.The First round of
interview was by a Manager in Data Sciences Group and it was a easy one.I felt they just wanted to filter out
candidates , Hence asked easy questions. They were two questions form C programming, Data Structures and
two questions in Final year project and followed by two puzzles. Being a preliminary round these questions were
pretty simple and I could answer all the questions correctly.
Tips
It is very easy to crack this round. There is nothing great expected from you in this round. Just be clear in
the basics .
Experience
It took more than a month after 1st round to get a call for second round.This round was taken by a Senior
Director in Speech Sciences team which was my major area. This round was more technical and most of the
questions were focused on the Speech processing and on the analytics project I have done as a part of my
Internship.My final year project was in Image processing (Super Resolution from Single image) so there were
many questions from my project regarding the algorithms I used and the way I proceeded towards results, My
current progress and what am I going to do in next step. They were pretty much clear in their questions, But I
was confused by the time and couldn't answer some questions. Over all it was good and I was hoping for the
call for next round.
Tips
Same tip as in the first round Be clear on whatever you mention in your resume and be frank accept the
things you don't know. It doesn't matter if you don't answer some questions, but don't lie.
Experience
Within two days after my second round I got a call for third round which was pretty much technical and mostly
concentrated on Machine learning, Probability,Statistics. I was not that great at Machine learning ( I just knew
few basic algorithms which I have learnt from Coursera.org). As a part of my final year project I implemented a
some Machine learning algorithms that I explained very clearly and made a very good impression on the
interviewer.There were many questions regarding the limitations of the algorithms I implemented and Why did I
Tips
Same tip again be clear in whatever you know. Don't get tensed when they ask something you don't
know.And remember that no one is worried about the final result and rather they just check your
approach.The interviewers are always cool and they help you if you are struck somewhere.But be sure to
catch the hint and complete the answer. I am sure offer will be in your hand if you can do this.
ROUND 4: HR INTERVIEW
Experience
It was a formality round. They just asked me about my goals, passion , interests and career plans and expected
salary which I told was less than they usually offer for that profile. I was feeling bad for doing that. But to my
surprise they had offered more than what I demanded. I was pretty much happy for that.
Tips
Be cool and Be clear on how much salary you are expecting :P

Good skills of maths might help.
In the interview, in 2nd question which was mentioned, whether repetition isallowed or not was asked by
the candidate.This really mattered as that was theonly thing different he has done from the person who
