Hello guys,
The recruitment procedure spanned about 4 rounds. Started off with the aptitude. There was a question bank of about 50 questions and students were getting questions from this bank in a shuffled manner. 20 minutes and 15 questions. These questions were not too difficult but involved a lot of calculations. 7-8 questions were quantitative, from chapters like average, mixture, allegations, percentages, profit loss, ratio and proportion, time distance and time work. I would like to stress on the point that these questions do not require exceptional skill. 3-4 questions were small inference-based passages, and there were 4-5 questions on a small bar graph. Other people had pie charts, histograms, and other such tabulated data.
Out of 782 students who applied, 142 were short-listed for the Gd. GD topics were process vs structure, India's show at the Olympics, creativity vs structure, women's reservation in politics, love vs arranged marriage, etc. Pretty generic topics. People who show a will to speak and can communicate freely in spite of grammatical errors can clear this round.
78 students were short-listed for the Video Synthesis round. A small video from a movie is shown and students are expected to jot down in crisp points their understanding of it. Students who wrote the summary of the scene were straightforwardly evicted.
48 lucky ones made it to the P. I round. Here straightforward questions were asked, along with a few maths sums. Math sums involve conceptual knowledge, and if your concepts are clear, this round shouldn't be a big hurdle. I was also asked specific case studies, interpretations of graphs and tabulated data.
Only 20 are selected for the last interview. The last interview is the H. Are cum maths puzzles interviews? I was asked a puzzle, which was a bit tricky. This round is the final frontier and the diciest round possible. Everything depends on how well you can answer that maths puzzle asked. If your approach is perfect you are selected.
