Hi ppl.. I would like to share my experience in interview among you guys so that it may be useful to you.
First there was the aptitude test. The aptitude test was somewhat easy to crack if you are good in reasoning skills.
The aptitude test contained three parts
1. Quantitative(20 questions- 25 minutes)
This part had the usual sums but you don’t have to do any calculations. All the problems can be easily solved without the use of pen and paper. But there was no time. Dont waste your time in solving the questions which would take time. Just finish the problems you could solve it easily in the first 15 minutes.
Then go to the toughest questions.There was a Venn diagram questions involving 4 Venn diagrams and it was very very difficult.
2. Attention to detail( Analytical reasoning)(25 questions-25minutes)
This part was really very very easy. I was confident in answering the questions. It had 10 questions from syllogism and other 10 from reverse syllogism. It had finding the odd figure out of the given figures and finding the next figure from the next figure.
Be strong in this part guys. It is the part which could boost up your marks.
3. Verbal (25 questions-20 minutes)
Finding the incorrect part from a given sentence was difficult. It took most of my time.
There were two reading comprehensions. My advise is not to touch the reading comprehension till the end. It would eat up all your time.
Jumbled sentences were very easy.
Interview
This was really fun. All the people waiting to go inside were all tensed. Be cool always. Think of a nice comedy. Be relaxed.
The students who came outside finishing their interview were really making me tensed. I started asking others the answers for those unknown questions.
I was the last person in my college to be interviewed.
There were two hr’s. Both were strong in technical which i learnt from other students belonging to my panel.
It was the usual start with tell me about yourself.
I answered it but they started giving me the silent treatment.
So I started with my strengths.I mentioned one of my strengths as not getting distracted easily. You will know later why i specifically mentioned this to you.
They still stared at me. I finished with “That’s it sir. Is there anything more I could tell?”.
They started going through my marks and asked me why i have scored less in my fourth and fifth semester.
I told them some reasonable answer. They seemed to be satisfied with my answer.
One of the hr asked my what is the difference between the flip flop and latch.
I was glad that I knew the answer very well and started telling him while the other person was
distracting me by nodding a ‘no’ with his head. He was checking whether I was giving him any attention to him. But i looked at him first and started to have a concentrated eye contact with the hr who asked me the question and answered confidently. This was the part i feel they were impressed about me.
Then one of them asked me to write the truth table of jk flip flop. I told him correctly. He asked me to draw the circuit of the jk flip flop.
While i was drawing the other hr asked me some general questions like who is the chief minister of karnataka and which party does he belong to.
I answered them correctly but to my surprise the guy asked me ” You told that you will not be easily be distracted but i distracted you very easily”
I answered him ” Whatever the distraction is I am still doing my job right. Then what is the problem”
He didnt speak for the rest of the interview.
Then I answered a few questions from data structures. Those were basics like what are the different types of data structures and I had to explain some of them.
He asked me a puzzle. I told all types of solution to the puzzle but he kept on saying that your approach is very simple and they asked for a complex approach.
I got stressed out and said ” That was what i could think of sir. Can you give me the answer to this ?”. He mentioned that he would say it at last but did not tell till the end.
He asked me another puzzle. It was bit difficult and i was not able to get an approach for that. He itself gave me the answer. The answer was very logical and I had to get away with a smile.
Then finally he asked me for any questions.
I asked whether it was necessary to learn java before entering the company but he replied with a careless no and said Thank You for spending your time with us.
I thought I won’t be selected till the results came. I am happy to get in CTS. This is my first step towards the greater part of life.
Lets wait and see what happens next.
With love
Googy.
