The complete process, starting from PPT to announcing results, was completed in 3 days in the month of June 2021.
Eligibility: CSE (7.5+ CGPA), ECE & EEE (8+ CGPA)
Online Test: It was hosted on AMCAT platform. It had 3 sections.
- English
- Business Aptitude
- Coding
English(12 MCQs in 15 mins.) – Had standard English questions asked in any AMCAT test like correct the sentence, fill up with the appropriate word, arrange the jumbled parts of a sentence and a passage at the end (passage consisted of 4 questions).
Business Aptitude(15 MCQs in 25 mins.) – Had several case studies. Tables or graphs were given for each of them. The questions were to test how well you analyze and understand the given data. Speed was key here.
Coding(Everybody got 2 questions from a larger pool of questions to be solved in 60 mins)
- Given a ring network of N systems, a virus destroys the kth system in a clockwise manner. Any destroyed system is removed from the network instantaneously. Find the last system which the virus would destroy.
- N coordinates were given in a 2D plane. Find the minimum number of straight lines required to cover all the coordinates at least once.
(In the first two sections, you cannot visit any previously answered question. You can switch between the two questions in the coding section)
Solving 1 question completely and the other partially was enough to get selected for the next round provided your previous two sections were good enough.
