ZS Associates organized Campus Beats in March 2022. The Campus Beats challenge had 2 types of challenges:
- Tech Challenge
- Case Challenge
I appeared for the Tech Challenge in March 2022. The whole procedure was divided into 3 parts :
- Technical Test
- Technical Interview
- EBI + FIT Interview
Technical Test(19-03-2022) Total time: 6 hours. Attempted by: 1 member of the team(can discuss with the team). A technical test was a task given to the whole team. I had a team of 5 members. This test was a bit simple. There were 7 questions in total. 2 were simple DSA questions, 2 were from simple frontend and 3 were a bit complicated SQL queries. front end questions were about giving shadow to text and placing text inside a view. SQL queries were asked involving 5+ tables and hence made a complicated set of questions.
Verdict: selected for the next round.
The results were declared in April and we were asked about our preferred roles before the interviews began. ZS offers 3 roles for recruitment:
- Business Technology Solutions Associate(BTSA)
- Business Operations Associate(BOA)
- Decision Analytics Associate(DAA)
I applied for the BTSA role. My interview dates came around 2 weeks before the interview day.
Technical Interview(19-05-2022): From this round, each team member was analyzed on their performances as individuals. It was a simple interview that went for 30 minutes comprising of questions from the profile, resume Human Resource(HR) and most focused of all, i.e. SQL.
