Round 2: 

F2F Technical round (two on one)

1.They picked one project from resume and started discussion on it for few minutes.(You should be clear about your project flow and about your contribution in it).

4.asked me to explain almost all object oriented concepts with real world example.

In this round you will be given around 30 minutes of time and you have to come up with an idea that will be you product. you will have to divide work, make charts and follow some guidelines which they will tell.

No one was eliminated from this round. (Try to come up with ideas and discuss politely).

Round 5 : HR Round

In this round VP read each and every word of my resume and asked me lots of questions on it. Do not fake anything here.Make sure you are aware of each and every word of your resume. He had long list of typical HR questions which he was asking one by one and writing something on one paper he had.This went on for almost 35-40 minutes. All 12 people were called HR round.

 

Round 6 : Technical Round
