IHS Markit Interview Experience (On-Campus)

IHS Markit visited my campus for the role of Associate Software Engineer

Round 1(Pymetric Test): It was a behavioral screening round, with some games and exercises to judge your decision-making ability and other behavioral traits. 300 students appeared for this round, from which 80 were shortlisted for the Online Assessment 

Round 2(Online Assessment): Second round was conducted on the Firstnaukri.com portal, and it consisted of the following sections.

1. Quantitative ability (MCQ).
2. AI/ML (MCQ) (this was an optional section).
3. Technical Ability (MCQ) (It was based on the DBMS, OS, and language (C/Java/Python)).
4. Coding Section (This section consisted of one coding problem and one SQL Query). The coding problem was moderate, was based on basic string operations and SQL Query too was of moderate level, and could be easily solved using a nested subquery.

Out of the 80 students 18 were selected for further rounds.

Round 3(Technical Interview 1): The first round of interview was very much standard, interviewer asked me the language I coded in, then he asked me questions on some OOPS concepts and some questions on C++. He asked me to implement runtime polymorphism using virtual functions. And then he wrote different syntaxes to access an index in an array, using ‘[]’ and ‘*’ operators, and asked me which were correct in order to access the index.
Also, some Data Structure questions were asked like Detect a loop in Linked List, Pair Sum, Target Sum Subarray.

Round 4(Technical interview 2): In this round, the discussion revolved around my resume, and the projects I did, I had done a project on MERN stack, so he asked me some basic questions on NodeJS and REST API, which I had implemented in the project
Next, he asked my two puzzles that were:

1. Measure 15 minutes using two hourglasses, one which can measure 7 minutes, and others which can measure 11 minutes.
2. Make a sum of 1 rupee using 50 coins of denominations 25p, 10p, 5p and 1p
