Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The first round consisted of about 50 aptitude questions, which we were supposed to solve in 45 minutes.

This was followed by a technical round that had questions on Data Structures, Operating Systems, DBMS, C++, and C. Then came a technical interview, followed by the HR round.

The questions in the technical round were easy. However, they asked in-depth questions about the resume, mostly checking our basics of DBMS and Data Structures.

Although I could not make it to the HR round, those who did said it lasted about 15 minutes and was a good experience.

Questions

All the questions were fairly easy, as it was an on-campus hiring process. The cutoff was high, though.
