iNautix Interview Experience - PICT Pune. 16th Sept 2014

iNautix came to PICT pune on 16th Sept. The recruitment process consisted of 3 rounds.
A. Aptitude test:
The aptitude test was very easy. 50 questions in 50 min. 40 questions on Quantitative (time and work, ages, trains mostly from R.S.Agarwal) and 10 verbal questions (Sentence equivalence, text completion). There was no sectional cut-off.
B. Group Discussion:
All the students who cleared the aptitude round were divided into batches of 10 students each. The interviews gave us freedom of choosing the topic. We all mutually discussed and decided a topic. More weightage was given to the intensity and relevance of the point. MY suggestion would be to speak out and make relevant points and also agree to someone else\'s point sometimes. Shows team spirit.
C. After the group discussion there was a technical come Hr interview. The interviewer focused on the entire resume so make sure you can justify anything written in your resume.
Questions asked were,
- \'Explain your be project?\'
- \'What approach are you taking\'
- \'How much have you implemented\'
- Basic C program (like printing of stars)
- How do you think applications like whatsapp run? (don\'t get scared at the question. They don\'t expect you to know the technicalities. they are just testing whether you can give a approximate guess).
- HR questions like why iNautix? plans for future studies?
The key would be to be cool and confident in the interview.
They selected around 25 people from our college and thankfully I was one of them.
Although the aptitude test this time was different from iNautix usual aptitude tests (there was no C or technical questions) here are some papers that I prepared from along with (what I think are) the answers. Hope it helps. all the best!

A. Aptitude test:
The aptitude test was very easy. 50 questions in 50 min. 40 questions on Quantitative (time and work, ages, trains mostly from R.S.Agarwal) and 10 verbal questions (Sentence equivalence, text completion). There was no sectional cut-off.
B. Group Discussion:
All the students who cleared the aptitude round were divided into batches of 10 students each. The interviews gave us freedom of choosing the topic. We all mutually discussed and decided a topic. More weightage was given to the intensity and relevance of the point. MY suggestion would be to speak out and make relevant points and also agree to someone else\'s point sometimes. Shows team spirit.
C. After the group discussion there was a technical come Hr interview. The interviewer focused on the entire resume so make sure you can justify anything written in your resume.
Questions asked were,
- \'Explain your be project?\'
- \'What approach are you taking\'
- \'How much have you implemented\'
- Basic C program (like printing of stars)
- How do you think applications like whatsapp run? (don\'t get scared at the question. They don\'t expect you to know the technicalities. they are just testing whether you can give a approximate guess).
- HR questions like why iNautix? plans for future studies?
The key would be to be cool and confident in the interview.
They selected around 25 people from our college and thankfully I was one of them.
Although the aptitude test this time was different from iNautix usual aptitude tests (there was no C or technical questions) here are some papers that I prepared from along with (what I think are) the answers. Hope it helps. all the best!
