So, first there was this aptitude paper which was analytical and technical, testing basic C++ output and errors. Then they asked questions related to that subject, plus some basic C++ questions and questions about your area of expertise, like if you're from EEE, then questions about electrical motors. They also asked about projects and focused a lot on MATLAB. There were some puzzle questions too, followed by HR. If you get selected, you have to go to Hyderabad for two more interviews.

I had a phone interview with the Development team in Hyderabad. My resume emphasized Java skills, but they were specifically seeking Python expertise, which the recruiter failed to mention. This led to an awkward start. I then highlighted my Java background, and the interviewers posed a few Java-related questions before concluding, stating their focus was solely on Python specialists. When I inquired about the team's projects, their responses were vague, and their demeanor was dismissive.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Could you elaborate on your Java expertise?
