Round 1 – Online Assessment
There were nearly four rounds, with the initial stage being the online assessment. The online assessment primarily comprised questions related to programming, focusing on languages such as C and C++. Additionally, electronic questions related to diodes and electrical problems were included in the assessment. I successfully answered nearly all the questions in the online assessment. The results were promptly announced the following day, and on the subsequent day, the first round of interviews commenced.
Round 2 – Technical Interview
Duration – 40 Mins
In the second round, the technical interview began with the interviewer asking for a self-introduction. Subsequently, she inquired about my proficiency in C++, leading to a series of questions covering various aspects of Object-Oriented Programming (OOPS). The questions included:
-
Introduction:
– Providing a brief introduction about myself -
C++ Proficiency:
– Assessing my self-rated proficiency in C++. -
OOPS Concepts:
– Definition of OOPS.
– Explanation of inheritance and its types.
– Understanding of copy constructor, including writing a code snippet.
– Reasoning behind using a reference in the declaration of a copy constructor.
4. Function Overloading:
– Definition and examples of function overloading.
– Inquiry about the possibility of overloading constructors.
5. Destructor:
– Explanation of why overloading a destructor is not possible.

7. Abstract Class:
– Definition and purpose of an abstract class.
– Clarification on the usage of an abstract class in the absence of objects.
8. Storage Class:
– Explanation of what a storage class is in programming.
After these OOPS-related questions, the discussion shifted to two programming challenges:
9. Programming Questions:
a. String Reversal Program:
– Writing a program in the chosen programming language to reverse a given string.
b. Swap Two Numbers without a Third Variable:
– Implementing a program to swap the values of two numbers without using a third variable.
Upon successfully answering all these questions, I received a call for the next round, the Technical Managerial interview.
Round 3 – Technical Managerial Round
Duration- 20 Mins
The third round, the Technical Managerial Round, involved discussions with Hiring Managers to assess whether I was a perfect fit for the role. The focus of this round was a detailed examination of my resume. Given that I had completed three internships, the conversation revolved around my internship experiences. The discussion encompassed:
1. Internship Details:
– Detailed discussion on each of my three internships.
– Explanation of the specific tasks and responsibilities undertaken during each internship.
2. Profile Overview:
– Clarification on the nature of my role in each internship.
– Insight into the skills and expertise developed during these experiences.
3. Challenges Faced:
– Exploration of difficulties encountered during the internships.
– Discussion on how I addressed and overcame these challenges.
After a comprehensive discussion lasting approximately 20 minutes, I received a confirmation email for the next round which was the HR round.
Round 4 – HR Round
Duration – 30 Mins
The fourth round, the HR Round, commenced with a request for a self-introduction. Following that, the HR representative inquired about my knowledge of Aptiv, delving into specifics such as the company’s background and its clientele. The discussion extended to:
1. Introduction:
– Providing a brief self-introduction.
2. Knowledge of Aptiv:
– Understanding what I knew about Aptiv, including its background and core business.
3. Aptiv’s Clients:
– Inquiring about the clients of Aptiv and their significance.
4. Technical Skills Discussion:
– Assessment of my technical skills and proficiency.
5. Internship Experience:
– A detailed discussion about my internship experiences, including tasks, challenges faced, and solutions implemented.
Unfortunately, I did not successfully clear the HR round. The interviews were scheduled back-to-back on the same day, leaving me with insufficient time to conduct research about the company and its clients, Around 15 Students were Selected.
