Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) conducted a diversity hiring drive at our campus, which consisted of two rounds.
Round 1 (Online Assessment – Data Structures and Aptitude, 2-hour duration):
The initial round included 30 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and 2 medium-level Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) questions. The aptitude questions were structured so that solving an easy question led to a medium-level question, and similarly, solving a medium-level question would prompt a hard question. Out of 590 students who participated, 24 were shortlisted for the next round.
Round 2 (Interview):
The interview, lasting approximately one hour, involved a panel of two interviewers. They began by inquiring about my background and interests, followed by a discussion about the projects I undertook during internships and my decision to pursue computer science instead of my core branch. Subsequently, I was presented with a hard-level DSA question: (https://leetcode.com/problems/trapping-rain-water/).
The conversation then shifted to my career goals, and I was also asked to name 1-2 cars from Jaguar/Land Rover and TATA.
Results:
Out of the 24 shortlisted candidates, five received job offers.
Tips:
- Demonstrate a solid understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms.
- Be prepared to articulate and explain the details mentioned in your resume during the interview.
