TEKSystems conducted an oncampus drive at our University this year.

The complete Selection process consisted of 5 rounds-

  • Online Test
  • Group Discussion/HR
  • Technical Round-1
  • Technical Round-2
  • Hackathon of 48 hours

The selection process took approximately 2 weeks.

Round 1:Online Test

The test consisted of MCQ’s and 2 coding questions. Total time was 1 hours 30 minutes

I don’t think there was a sectional cutoff.

The MCQ section was divided into :

  1. General Aptitude- 10 questions
  2. Verbal- 10 questions
  3. Data Interpretation- 6 questions
  4. Logical Reasoning-10 questions
  5. Coding- 2 questions [60 minutes]

1.) Compared to previous years this time the level of questions were slightly increased.

2.) 2, 3, 4 sections were very easy anyone can do it.

3.) What is the name of the parent company ? What is the tagline of this company ? All of my friends were asked the same question.

4.) This year they increases the time for coding section. Also the questions were distributed in the format of 1 DP question and other of easy level.

First question was to convert a given roman numeral to its number.Constraints were the roman number would represent value between 1-500 only

The other question was of DP, minimum number of insertions to make a string palindrome.

Solve either of the questions to proceed to next round.

Many students got both the Questions belonging to DP while some got both easy.

Out of 500 students 43 were selected for next round which included me.

Round 2: Group Discussion/HR

Before the GD/HR we were given a pre-placement talk and presentation by the company officials. The students were divided in group of 15, 15 and 13

We all sat in a circle with the HR in center and she told us to start by first introducing ourselves, our aim, schooling details. In short it was you have to answer the question “Introduce yourself.”. Everyone was given 2 minutes.

After this we were giving a GD topic on “Today’s engineering curriculum are producing goof engineers or not”.

We were divided into groups of 8 and 7 and were told that we have to speak for the topic and the other group against and were given 5 minutes to discuss the points.

After 5 minutes we were told to start speaking, it was more of a debate not GD.After 2 minutes of shouting we were told to change the roles i.e. now we spoke against and the other group for. After 2 minutes we were told to halt and now every individual was given a 60 seconds to summarize their viewpoint either on for or against.

You need to be loud and be specific on your point to go for the next round.

20 student out of 43 including me proceeded for the next round

Round 3: Technical Interview I

This round was conducted after 2 days.

Held on Skype every candidate was allotted 30 minutes for the interview.

Don’t try to bluff with the interviewer, if you do not know the answer to the question then simply say I don’t know.

The questions were fired from your resume.

  3. Describe all the OOPS concept with example.

At last he asked that do I have any questions to ask for him.

Out of 20 only 10 (including me) proceeded to next round.

Round 4: Technical Interview II

Conducted the next day, unfortunately due to some internet issues on the interviewers side it was conducted over the telephone for about 20 minutes.

For some it was more of a HR round and for some it was technical.
