Capgemini conducted a campus drive for two days on our campus, I got to appear both days as the strength of students were more. Initially, we had little idea about the Capgemini, but after the orientation is given by the HR, we got a lot of motivation and great thoughts on why to join Capgemini?  What do they work on and for? etc Majority of my questions were answered. Try to stay active during the session as they start you observing from the very first point. Before the drive, we had company-specific training like any other college, thanks to the trainers who gave us a lot of motivation and life lessons. During the day of the interview it is very common to be tensed but don’t have it on your face. Stay confident and be with the presence of the mind. Before you appear to any human-based interview make sure you have enough knowledge about the company and basic research that you have done on it.

All the students who cleared the above rounds are asked to proceed to the further rounds. We appeared in batch-wise, so I had my interview on the following day.

Technical Round:

The interviewer has welcomed pleasantly, after greetings I sat in my chair. I was asked for my resume, initially, there was a behavioral check and then followed by technical questions. So I was asked to tell about myself, hobbies, Why Capgemini, What are my strengths followed by a discussion on my Project that I have done in the final year. Followed by that I was asked about my awareness, interest, and learning on the latest technology. Then I was asked to explain Linked List on what, how, where and why to use. Later I was asked to write the code for the Fibonacci series and other few intermediate level questions like the OOPs concept in real life. The percentage of selection in the technical round was always shocking and it is based on your pure skillset and way of presentation.

HR Round:
Once you cleared the TR we are asked to be prepared for HR round. That as well included more on behavioral questions.

  1. Tell me about yourself
  2. What is your final year project
  3. Travel Experience
  4. Contribution to the Developer Community
  5. Other active participation if done any
  6. Hackthon experience
  7. Extra circular activities

Overall it was a great effort from both the students and Capgemini Team who were really patient and were doing late-night interviews as well. I really appreciate their level of commitment. Make sure you present yourself well, be confident, be well-groomed, talk with audible voice and straight to the point, cut all the clutter and unnecessary things, be clear about your goals and strength, even if you are not so fluent in English try to maintain decent Indian accent with simple English sentences. Finally, when the results were announced I got selected for the Analyst post at Capgemini. Wish you all the best for the drive!
