MAQ Software Interview Experience | SET 20 (On campus for FTE)

MAQ software came to our campus for the role of software engineers and allowed only CS and Software engineering branch. They had three rounds, including an online test.

Round 1: There were 2 sections out of which first comprised of 30 MCQ questions(aptitude problems) to be done in 30 min. After completing this, you get a new window for the 2nd section with four coding questions to be done in an hour. There was a constraint of either solving that problem or skip and move on to the next one, but you cannot return to that problem. The questions where

  1. Check if a number is fibonacci number or not
  2. convert a number to its binary form and print
  3. There was a string with numbers in it separated by commas. Problem was to find the some of other number for every number present in string. Example: “2, 4, 3, 21, 45”, output is “63, 71, 72, 54, 30”
  4. There was a number and we had to find if any of the permutation of that number is divisible by 8 or not, if divisible output is 1 else 0. Example: 428. Permutations are: 482, 248, 284, 824, 842 and check if any is divisible by 8 or not.

There was sectional cutoff so all those who did 2 or more coding questions with decent score in 1st section were through. 49 were shortlisted for interviews out of 206 candidates

Round 2: This was a Skype round and questions asked were :

After 30 min, I was immediately called for the 2nd round, which was face to face.

Round 3: He looked at my resume for 5 minutes (Complete silence). Now Questions he asked were:

After 5 hours, late-night results were announced, and six students were selected, and luckily, I was there. Six rejections and then this, it was an amazing feeling. I want to say to all of the students who will be sitting for placements to be cool and have calm and patience. At times results might not come your way, but there is something already good planned for you. So just wait and give your 100%, brush up your techinical skills, communication skills and explain your projects well.

Good luck
