Please mention your remarks on the Written Test process.

It is an online test consisting of only aptitude question. I guess it has around 60 questions to be solved in 60 min. Along with the online test they also asked us to write a communication test,in which we had to summarize a paragraph( given by them) to an email

What went right for you at different stages of the process?

No idea, i guess only the time was right…:P

What went wrong for you at different stages of the process?

All the 4 rounds was taken in a day for us so the process became too hectic and also I couldn’t wear formals for the interview(Because after the GD results they gave us only 10-15 min to come back for the interview, P.S. I am Lazy).I was afraid the being in casual wear could turn my interview upside down, Luckily got through it..:)

What question(s) did you ask the interview panel?

My interview panel had only 1 person and he had asked me many civil engineering questions, so I just asked him informally if he was from civil background to which he smilingly replied I can ask u anything. At the end of the interview I apologized for being in a casual wear and he said “Thanks for telling, I didn’t noticed that”…me trolled..:P

Any suggestions/ dos & don’ts/ special preparation tips for your juniors:

The aptitude is quite easy ,so it can be worked out. Don’t beat around the bush in the communication test, it’s a business Email so write it as simple and condensed as possible. Do make one or two good point in the GD so that you are noticed and also prepare a bit of C/C++ questions for the technical interview and lastly do wear FORMALS for the interview.
