KPIT Technologies Interview Experience for Associate Engineer (On-Campus)

KPIT visited our campus in July 2023 for recruiting 2024 batch students. The whole process was stretched for 15 days, which included the following:

Registration
Online assessment
Technical round
HR round

1) Registration

It was done by individuals on a superset platform. Included uploading of resumes and other necessary documents and information.

2) Online assessment

It consists of

mcq around your subjects (For example, ENTC people will have MCQs about VLSI, amplifier, etc.)
Aptitude (Tricky, needed enough time to understand and solve them)
Two coding questions ( I would rate them as easy level if you have done a decent amount of coding practice. Although I Solved one fully and other partially. One was on the map and the other was on arrays.)
A section where you were given a topic and you have to write on it, in limited time. A min and max limit of words was provided.
A section (had 3 sub-sections) where various puzzle games were given with very limited time.

I thought I won’t be shortlisted because I was not able to solve the second coding question fully. Yet I was selected. 94 were selected out of 231. I believe there was an overall and a section-wise cutoff involved.

3) Technical round

It was a virtual mode interview on superset. First It was scheduled for 1:30 PM, then moved to 2:30 PM, and finally was scheduled for 5:00 PM. The interviewer started off by introducing himself.

can you please introduce yourself
asked in detail about one of the two internships? And cross-questioned about the problem solved. Also asked my contribution to that and how it helped the company.
Do you know about embedded c?
what is the main difference between c and C++?
How the oops concept is implemented.
what is polymorphism?
can you explain in detail about one of your projects?
What do you understand by the word “electronics”.
What is the work of an amplifier?
Explain the difference between the semiconductor devices: diode and transistor.
What is the key difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor?
write me a program to find if a number is odd or even using the modulo operator. ( I explained the concept of “%” along with writing the code, why and where we use it, and gave suitable examples.)
Do you have any questions for me? ( We actually had a great discussion about the competitors of KPIT and KPIT’s strong global presence.)

If you are thinking about why there were electronics-related questions. Let me be clear, I am an ENTC student thus such questions can often be asked to test the presence of mind towards the main subjects.

There were other questions apart from the above-mentioned. I don’t remember them.

The count was not disclosed, most people got the call for the HR round.

4) HR round

Almost after 5-6 days, HR round interview was scheduled on superset.

How you are doing?
How is the weather there?
The interviewer introduces himself.
Asked me to explain a little about my background in terms of academics and skills.
Discussed my work at both internships. ( Explained it in very detail and got cross-questioned for the same. I can say it took more than 10 min around this only.)
Have you faced any conflict of interest during your course of internship with “X” company? (I explained one scenario.)
How you handled it.
Did you miss any deadlines during your internship? ( I completed my projects on time and took some extra work on them.)
ok, So any deadline you missed during your assessment submission in college? How you handle it. (I explained the situation once I was in, and the approach I used to tackle that.)
It was nice talking to you, do you have any questions for me? ( Had a good discussion around work culture and the superiority of KPIT in the automotive industry.)
