First American (India) Interview Experience for Technical Trainee (On-Campus) 2023-24

Recently FAI visited our campus for the placement of B.Tech students for the role of Technical Trainee in Banglore.

There were total 5 rounds so let’s look at this one by one.

Round – 1

Aptitude and Technical

This was an online written round on the SHL platform in which there were basic Aptitude, Logical, Pseudocode, and technical MCQs. It can be easily cleared with basic technical and Aptitude knowledge.

Out of approx 750 students, 227 cleared this round.

After this, every round was conducted at our college premises.

Round – 2

Group discussion

That was basically a round to eliminate the crowd and a group of 8-10 members was formed. We were given 10 minutes to have a discussion over the given topic so for clearing this round we must have confidence and atleast try to put 2 valid arguments in front of the invigilator.

So out of 227 students, 24 cleared this round.

Round -3

11. Then asked me to two sql queries so I don’t remember the first one but I was able to do so and the 2nd one was based on concept of performing three table join so I was able to answer this with the help of nested query but was not able to explain the Join concept here.
12. Any question you want to ask.

So this was a major round and I was able to answer the majority of questions but on getting stuck at any point I didn’t panicked at all and answered wisely so remember one thing that NO ONE KNOWS EVERYTHING!
