Some of my friends had been summoned to write an online placement test for Mindtree earlier. Anyway, ours was a regular aptitude test, followed by a reasonably tough reasoning test and in the end, there was a verbal section we had to complete on paper (not online).<\/p>\n<p>## In the very first round, we were asked to solve an algorithm. There were 2 sections and we had to spend 30 minutes on each to write Algorithms.<br \/>\nThen came the coding round. We were to spend 30 minutes on the coding section alone.<\/p>\n<p>I remember one question. My solution:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;2 you have 3 dice, u have to take input from user what\u2019d sum he want.

I also received an email notification on 20th December. My interview was scheduled on 22nd December at Mindtree office in Global Village, Bangalore. On 22nd December, I underwent 2 rounds namely technical round and HR interview round at Mindtree Bangalore office.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>Technical round<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, the interviewer scanned my resume and I guess he was impressed with it. Then I was asked certain fundamental questions. These are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>## What is a join? Explain inner join. I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## What is the difference between union and union all? I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## What is a cluster? I answered incorrectly.<br \/>\n## Write a query which gives the n<sup>th<\/sup> max salary dynamically. Like, if a user takes 5 inputs, it tells the 5th maximum salary from the table. I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## How to call a function in JavaScript? I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## How to open a link in a new tab in HTML? I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## How to apply an external CSS file stylesheet to your html file? I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## What is a class? I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## What is polymorphism? I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## Explain call by value and call by address. I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## Can we pass an array to a user defined function? I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## Can we run a program without a header file? I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## Define every component of a header file like #, include stdio.h. I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## Can we create a user defined header file? If yes then how? I answered giving a real time example.<br \/>\n## What is the syntax to remove space in string? I wrote it correctly.<br \/>\n## What is a data structure? I answered correctly.<br \/>\n## How can we achieve recursion in data structure? I tried to answer but could not explain properly and the interviewer did not seem convinced.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, he said, \u201cI am done with you. Do you have any questions?\u201d I took a pause and asked, \u201cHow has your experience with Mindtree been so far?\u201d He started smiling and then did not hesitate to share his work experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Note: Once you have cleared the Technical Round, you are 99.99% selected in a Mindtree placement interview test.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>HR interview round<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At Mindtree, I was given decent ratings for my technical skills after the technical round. The HR inquired about those ratings and also asked me about my hobbies. Then I was bombarded with the most awaited \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/hr-interview-questions-tell-me-about-yourself\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tell me about yourself<\/a>\u201d HR interview question. I answered the question after which, the coordinator asked me to wait for the HR Managerial round. The rest of the HR round went on at a relaxed pace and I remember the HR herself being a super friendly person.<\/p>\n<p>She asked me \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/salary-expectation-hr-interview-questions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What are your salary expectations?<\/a>\u201d Then she inquired about a date as per my convenience to join Mindtree for my training. I chose from the dates she had on her sheet. Then I was asked to furnish my Aadhar card and PAN card details. After completing all document verification, I was asked to leave for the day.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the day, I received a confirmation mail. I collected my offer letter with the rest of my friends on 28 December 2017. I gleefully joined Mindtree on 17 Feb 2018 as a Software Engineer in Bangalore and today, I am a happy employee of this distinguished company.<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to my family and friends for their timely support and also to my teachers for their seamless guidance. All the best to you for your first placement job interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Company: Mindtree Profile: Software Engineer Salary: 3.25 LPA Place: Bangalore Number of rounds: 4&nbsp; Result: Selected The Interview Rounds at Mindtree &nbsp; The interview rounds revolved around basic quantitative aptitude, &hellip; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/software-engineer-interview-experience-at-mindtree\" class=\"more\">Read More <em class=\"arrow\"><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3977,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interview-experiences"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_validity":null,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1825\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.naukri.com\/campus\/career-guidance\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
