Role: Associate Developer
Eligibility: 7 CPI and above,60% above in 10th and 12th
Process : Resume based shortlisting -> Online Test -> 1st Technical Interview(Peer coding round)-> 2nd technical interview -> Managerial round -> HR round
Each round was an elimination round.
Online Test:
Platform: HackerRank
Duration: 60 minutes
It consisted of 10 MCQs based on data structure, C language (pointers), OOP concepts, and 2 coding questions. There were different sets for different people.
Ques1 : https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find-length-longest-subsequence-one-string-substring-another-string/
Ques2: Given an integer k and an array, count the number of distinct valid pairs of integers (a,b) in the array for which a+k=b.
The test had a sectional cut off so it was important to do well in both the coding sections and MCQs as well.
1 and a half question coding questions were sufficient for clearing the coding section and I am not sure for MCQs.I passed all the test cases of 1st question and 2 test cases were not passed in the second one and in MCQs as I think out of 10,8 were at least correct. After this round 34 were shortlisted for the interviews.
