I had 1 recruiter screening call, it was pretty simple, mostly covering basic logistics, my salary expectations, and a general review of my resume. The recruiter was really nice and asked direct questions. She shared her own honest experience working at the company, and then we moved on.

Technical Behavioral

Patni recruiters came to our campus for hiring. It began with a presentation about the company's achievements and details about a 2-3 year employment bond. Then, an aptitude test was conducted. Candidates who passed were informed via college authorities. The presentation was pretty standard, and the team didn't seem very enthusiastic. Shortlisted candidates had to go to the company campus for a one-on-one interview. Before the interview, we were asked to write a letter on a given topic. After that, the process became a bit disorganized, with a long queue of students waiting. My turn came after 4 hours, and I was quite nervous by then. The interview itself was quite straightforward, asking basic technical questions suitable for freshers. They seemed to prioritize confidence and good communication skills.

Given 8 balls that look the same, with one being heavier than the rest, and a balance scale, how can you find the heavier ball using the scale the fewest times possible? The scale has two bowls; it balances or tips if one bowl is heavier. You can put any number of balls in the bowls, but you can't just weigh them one by one.
