Me: May I come in?
Interviewer: Yeah sure! Please come in.
Interviewer: Please have a sit.
After reading my CV very carefully for about 2-3 minutes, he said, "So Why don\'t you start speaking about yourself?".
Me: Told.
Interviewer: Why did you take up computer science?
Me: I had computer science from class 9. It was since then that I started a liking for the subject and after +2 I decided that If I take up any subject, that has to be Computer science.
Interviewer: okay. So what is your favorite programming language?
Me: C.
Interviewer: Why?
Me: Told.
Interviewer: What are pointers and why do we need them?
Me: Told.
Interviewer: ok. You have mentioned core Java in your CV. What do you know about Core Java.
Me: Inheritance, Exceptions, Thread.
Interviewer: What are exceptions?
Me: Told.
He then asked some other questions from Java like What is NullPointerException, What is Polymorphism, etc.
Interviewer: Tell me about some major hurdles that you have faced in your academics.
Me: Told about a problem that we encountered in our project.
Interviewer: How do you plan to overcome it?
Me: Sir, we already overcame it. (Then told him, how we solved it. ).
He then asked some other technical questions from my projects and also about my role in the project. I answered them all.
Interviewer: Did your guide help you in anyway?
Me: Yes sir, he helped us by giving us some very valuable tips and innovative ideas.
Interviewer: Like?
Me: Gave some examples.
Interviewer: So Tanmoy, Why do you want to join Infosys?
Me: I was prepared for this question and was able to impress him by my answer.
Interviewer: Do you have any relocation problem?
Me: Absolutely not.
Interviewer: If I place you in a remote location where there is no proper accommodation available, will that be any problem for you?
Me: Sir, I do not have any such location constraint. You can place me anywhere you like.
Interviewer: Are you ready to work in shifts?
Me: Sir, I have spent many sleepless nights preparing lab files and writing project reports. I don\'t think that would be a problem.
Interviewer: That\'s different. Here you need to work for 2-3 consecutive years! Will you be able to cope up with such situations?
Me: Sir I am confident that I would be able to work in night shifts. I assure you that it would not be any problem.
Interviewer: Suppose I assign a project where you do not have any scope of working with technologies that you love. Are you ready to accept such projects?
Me: Sir, I am sure that every project will have something new for me to learn. I am ready to accept any project that you assign me.
Interviewer: Do you have any questions?
Me: If somebody is working in a particular domain and tomorrow if he wants to shift to some other domain, is that possible?
Interviewer: gave a really loooooong answer.
Interviewer: Does that answer your question?
Me: Yes Sir, Absolutely.
Interviewer: That was all from my part. My good Wishes to you.
Me: Thank You Sir.
Interviewer: Thank You.
Result was announced the next day and I was one of the 55 students from my college to have cleared the Interview. :).
