Journey
The journey from applying to the company to joining the company was too smooth. This job requires a person to be excel in communication as well as analytical skills apart from technical skills.
Application story
The placement drive was an on-campus drive. The company had eligibility criteria of 8+ CGPA. Thus, the resume of all students having an 8+ CGPA was sent to the company, they shortlisted some of the resumes. Further, the shortlisted students were given an assignment to do in a specific period of time. The assignment was completely based on Microsoft Excel formulas and SQL queries. Later on, the shortlisted students from the assignment round had to go through the technical interview round. The technical interview round was entirely based on SQL queries and Python basics. Moreover, only 6 students were shortlisted from the technical interview round. Finally, the HR round was held for those 6 shortlisted students and 5 of them were given an offer.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I was selected for the role as I performed exceptionally well in all the rounds of the process, whether it is the assignment round, technical interview round, or HR interview round.
