Interview
First round of campus placement was the aptitude test- 55 questions in an hour. Quant section was the first that was quite easy(20 questions). Next came verbal ability (35 questions) - with 2 pages full of comprehension- anyone wishing to complete the paper must skip that portion. 180 students were selected for PI round. Here, they asked some questions about network layers, C/C++ basics, not in depth. Then some things about team dynamics and then came to the unexpected ones.
