She said at the end that you are shortlisted for the next round and you will receive a link for assessment.

  • The test was conducted on the Cocubes platform. The test consists of 4 sections Quantitative, Analytical, English, IT Fundamental.
  • The duration of the test was 75 minutes and no negative marking was there.
  • The next day I got mail for another assessment.

There were 30 questions that you have to solve in 30 minutes. The questions were related to the following topics

  • Decision control structure
  • Loop control structure

Tips:

  • For the first online assessment, you should have some basic knowledge of IT fundamentals such as short-cut keys and operating systems.
  • In the pseudo-code section, you have to be quick and accurate to clear the cutoff. Always solve time-taking questions such as loop at the last.
