# all-MiniLM-L6-v2
This is a [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) model: It maps sentences & paragraphs to a 384 dimensional dense vector space and can be used for tasks like clustering or semantic search.

## Usage (Sentence-Transformers)
Using this model becomes easy when you have [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) installed:

```
pip install -U sentence-transformers
```

Then you can use the model like this:
```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
sentences = ["This is an example sentence", "Each sentence is converted"]

model = SentenceTransformer('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
embeddings = model.encode(sentences)
print(embeddings)
```

## Usage (HuggingFace Transformers)
Without [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net), you can use the model like this: First, you pass your input through the transformer model, then you have to apply the right pooling-operation on-top of the contextualized word embeddings.

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F

#Mean Pooling - Take attention mask into account for correct averaging
def mean_pooling(model_output, attention_mask):
    token_embeddings = model_output[0] #First element of model_output contains all token embeddings
    input_mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(token_embeddings.size()).float()
    return torch.sum(token_embeddings * input_mask_expanded, 1) / torch.clamp(input_mask_expanded.sum(1), min=1e-9)

# Sentences we want sentence embeddings for
sentences = ['This is an example sentence', 'Each sentence is converted']

# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')

# Tokenize sentences
encoded_input = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')

# Compute token embeddings
with torch.no_grad():
    model_output = model(**encoded_input)

# Perform pooling
sentence_embeddings = mean_pooling(model_output, encoded_input['attention_mask'])

# Normalize embeddings
sentence_embeddings = F.normalize(sentence_embeddings, p=2, dim=1)

print("Sentence embeddings:")
print(sentence_embeddings)
```

## Background

The project aims to train sentence embedding models on very large sentence level datasets using a self-supervised 
contrastive learning objective. We used the pretrained [`nreimers/MiniLM-L6-H384-uncased`](https://huggingface.co/nreimers/MiniLM-L6-H384-uncased) model and fine-tuned in on a 
1B sentence pairs dataset. We use a contrastive learning objective: given a sentence from the pair, the model should predict which out of a set of randomly sampled other sentences, was actually paired with it in our dataset.

We developed this model during the 
[Community week using JAX/Flax for NLP & CV](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/open-to-the-community-community-week-using-jax-flax-for-nlp-cv/7104), 
organized by Hugging Face. We developed this model as part of the project:
[Train the Best Sentence Embedding Model Ever with 1B Training Pairs](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/train-the-best-sentence-embedding-model-ever-with-1b-training-pairs/7354). We benefited from efficient hardware infrastructure to run the project: 7 TPUs v3-8, as well as intervention from Googles Flax, JAX, and Cloud team member about efficient deep learning frameworks.

## Intended uses

Our model is intended to be used as a sentence and short paragraph encoder. Given an input text, it outputs a vector which captures 
the semantic information. The sentence vector may be used for information retrieval, clustering or sentence similarity tasks.

By default, input text longer than 256 word pieces is truncated.

## Training procedure

### Pre-training 

We use the pretrained [`nreimers/MiniLM-L6-H384-uncased`](https://huggingface.co/nreimers/MiniLM-L6-H384-uncased) model. Please refer to the model card for more detailed information about the pre-training procedure.

### Fine-tuning 

We fine-tune the model using a contrastive objective. Formally, we compute the cosine similarity from each possible sentence pairs from the batch.
We then apply the cross entropy loss by comparing with true pairs.

#### Hyper parameters

We trained our model on a TPU v3-8. We train the model during 100k steps using a batch size of 1024 (128 per TPU core).
We use a learning rate warm up of 500. The sequence length was limited to 128 tokens. We used the AdamW optimizer with
a 2e-5 learning rate. The full training script is accessible in this current repository: `train_script.py`.

#### Training data

We use the concatenation from multiple datasets to fine-tune our model. The total number of sentence pairs is above 1 billion sentences.
We sampled each dataset given a weighted probability which configuration is detailed in the `data_config.json` file.

Brief Introduction:
I’m Shishir Shahi. I graduated from IIT Kharagpur in 2021 from the Department of Electrical Engineering. I was enrolled in the 4-year B.Tech course. I was a boarder of Rajendra Prasad Hall of Residence. Currently, I am working in Barclays Global Services as a Graduate Analyst in a technology role.
How did you get into Barclays? What was the selection procedure?
I was selected in Barclays through the campus placement drive in 2020. The selection process consists of a test and two rounds of interviews. The test consists of various questions ranging from statistical analysis, mental ability, personality-based questions, and coding. The test gauges a candidate’s knowledge in different fields.
The interview consists of two rounds- the first round is usually a non-technical round with questions like “Why do you want to work in the banking industry” to gauge the candidate’s genuine interest in the company and work profile. There are also questions about the recent technological advancements in the financial sector.
The second round is the technical round, where the interviewer asks about the technological skills of the candidate. There is a discussion on the candidate’s CV if it contains projects/interns in a technology role. A good grasp of algorithms and data structures is essential to go through this round. Knowledge about Linux, operating systems, and database management is also appreciated and helps the candidate score more points. Still, they are not essential, and the interviewer will not ask questions if you mention that you don’t have experience in those fields beforehand. Strong knowledge of JAVA and Object-Oriented Programming is a huge plus for this round.
How to prepare for them?
Good CV preparation is essential to crack the Barclays interviews. A large number of questions are based on the candidate’s experiences and skills related to technology. You should explain every project/internship you have worked on end-to-end and the technological skill-set you gained from those experiences. A firm grasp on algorithms and data structures is also important, and you should be able to solve any problem put in front of you in the most efficient way. Apart from this you should also have some understanding about the role of technology in the banking industry and the challenges/opportunities in the field.
How would you describe the work culture in your company? How is the work-life balance?
I have really liked the work culture at Barclays ever since I joined the organization in August this year. You will be working with incredibly talented people, and every person in the organization is helpful. Some exciting projects are going on which provide a great learning opportunity to every newcomer. The aspect I particularly like in the work culture in Barclays is that even in the technical role, the emphasis is not only on the “How?” of things but also on the “Why?” of things. The business and technology side work very closely, which creates a perfect work culture allowing people to grow more through their work. The workload is not too much, and as a policy, they try to maintain an excellent work-life balance for the employees through proper workload management. You get ample time for your personal life after work.
How was your experience working from home? What difficulties did you face?
Work from home can be a little tedious as you have to work alone in a room without any of your co-workers. The companies have adapted to this work-from-home routine very efficiently as there are regular team meetings and regular interaction between people. Luckily for me, by the time I joined Barclays, the complete lockdown was over, which made it a little easier as we could go out and hang out with our friends. But even then, working from home can be a real challenge for people who like to work in teams and constantly interact with others. Working in an office is a unique experience of its own as you get to meet new people, exchange ideas, and physically interact with your colleagues. Hopefully, soon we will be able to join our offices physically.
According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
People who have a passion for technology and are interested in the Fin-tech field should apply for this job. The culture at Barclays also promotes understanding the project from both the business and the technology side. So, if you are interested in technology and its business implementation, Barclays will be a good fit for you.
Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for placements this year?
My advice to the people sitting for placements will be to remain calm and focus on their goals. The placement season can be very disheartening and frustrating at times, and we all who have gone through it have felt it. It is vital to stay calm and keep your cool during tough times. It is usually the people who persevere and keep working hard even after setbacks during the stressful times who crack the placement season. Have faith in your preparations and be confident. Confidence is the key to cracking any interview. It is imperative to note that you must get placed in the company and profile you want to work in. When you get placed is irrelevant to your future. So, it is entirely all right if you don’t get placed in a Day 1 or 2 company.

Hi, I am Shiva Surya. I finished my B tech from Electrical Engineering in 2021. I am currently working at SanDisk, Western Digital as an ASIC Engineer (ASIC = Application Specific Integrated Circuit).
How did you get into Western Digital? What was the selection procedure?
I got an offer from Western Digital during the Campus Placement process in my final year. The selection procedure consists of 2 stages.
1st Stage was a written exam of 1hr duration, and students had to answer 45 questions of Analog Electronics in 30 minutes and 45 questions of Digital Electronics in 30 minutes.
2nd Stage consisted of 4 Interview rounds. The 1st round is based on Digital Electronics for a duration of 45 mins. The 2nd round is based on Analog Electronics for a duration of 1hr 15 mins. 3rd round had both Analog and Digital based questions, and some of them needed expertise in both (Mixed Signal Electronics) which lasted for 1hr. The 4th round was an HR round for a duration of 30 minutes.
For the first stage written exam, speed is important. The content of the exam was taught in Analog Electronics, Digital Electronics, Signals, Networks and some additional things like Verilog coding and Mixed-Signal Electronics need to be learned. Most of the questions can be answered directly with a bit of thinking.
For the Digital Electronics round, I need to be thorough with Digital Electronics concepts taught in the course. Along with that, I need to know how to implement those circuits (Logic Circuits and State Machines) in Verilog. For Verilog, I recommend Hardware Description Languages for FPGA Design on Coursera. The Analog Electronics round needs to be thorough with concepts taught by Professor Bibu Datta Sahoo sir. If they are not taught by him, there is a playlist on YouTube by Professor Behzad Razavi. Along with that, I need to solve problems from Behzad Razavi Electronics book (Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits).
NOTE: Analog Electronics must be learned from these 2 professors because they teach some techniques specifically used in engineering fields. For the third Mixed-Signal Electronics round, one needs to know the basics of CMOS circuitry and how Digital Logic is designed using CMOS. For Mixed Signal electronics, I recommend a course by Professor Ashis Maity which is taught in Autumn Semester. He gives a very good introduction to how the Electronics industry works and how the concepts we learned get applied in the Industry.
The HR round is light and peaceful because it is a core profile. Optional: I recommend subscribing to newsletters from companies like Texas Instruments, Analog Devices. That way you will be aware of the latest technologies, and we will get to know some good circuit ideas.
It has been 5 months since I joined the organization and everything seems good so far. It feels good to be surrounded by “core people”. You will get enough time and enough guidance to learn a lot of new things. Work-life balance depends on the stage of the project. If it is in its early stages, life is peaceful, which is the case for most of the time. If the project is near to tape out, then sometimes you have to work on weekends, which is like 2 or 3 weekends for a span of 6 months.
It takes more time to complete a task sitting at home than working in an office, as a result, overall productivity is less in work from home. Company and Managers are trying their best to reduce the workload during this work-from-home session. If everything goes right, I will be called to the office in January or February 2022. I hope Omicron doesn’t turn out to be a dangerous variant. As for difficulties, Electrical Engineering was tough, but it was worth it since my job is in a core profile. Covid hit our family from August to October in 2020, so it was a bit difficult to get out of that slump and write the exams in such a short time.
People who are interested in the Electronics profile should apply for this. My work includes designing new Digital Logic in Verilog, alongside implementing already existing circuits like (Comparator, MUX. PLL, etc.) in new technologies with a bit of coding
All the best to you guys. You will surely find a job somewhere you like and something you want to work for. The tough part of acquiring all the important skills is over. All that is left is to find something where you can apply them. It may take some time to get that job you were longing for, but you will get it sometime, just need to have some patience. The selection preference is also high for guys with a Ph.D. or a Master’s Degree compared to BTech guys in the core companies. So be aware that there are fewer opportunities per year in the core sector compared to the software/IT sector. Do not restrict yourself to CDC placements, as only a few core companies visit campus. Apply for companies off-campus through LinkedIn or some websites like Monster jobs etc.
If a job is compulsory for you, keep learning some Software basics. Learn a programming language, preferably C++, and basic Algorithms. Attend the classes regularly and learn stuff taught by professors, they are used in real life. If you get to go to the campus, do enjoy yourself with your “Nakama”. For core guys, do participate in your hall’s hardware modeling since you will learn some cool stuff that can be learned exclusively by core guys (like Raspberry Pi for example).

I graduated from IIT KGP in 2021 with a Dual Degree in Electrical Engineering (specialization in Instrumentation and Signal Processing). I got placed in Mercedes Benz Research and Development India during the placement season of 2020–21 and joined the company as a Post Graduate Engineer Trainee (AI/ML) in MBRDI’s Intelligent Interior (Algorithm) team from August 2021.
How did you get into Mercedes Benz? What was the selection procedure?
The company conducted an online coding test, on the basis of which they prepared the shortlist for the interview round. The interview was almost an hour-long, with 5 different people interviewing me one by one. The questions were mainly focused on machine learning and deep learning concepts, and also a fair bit on the internships that I had done. I was also asked questions from computer vision as I had a fair bit of background in the same, and I was not prepared for the same as computer vision concepts were not something that I had revised specifically for CDC interviews. Fortunately, I was able to tackle most of the questions on that topic. I got selected based on my performance in the interview.
Like many of my peers who were preparing for software/ML roles, I spent most of my time preparing for coding tests in popular programming platforms such as Interview Bit, LeetCode etc. I also prepared for machine learning/deep learning questions from various sources (course material and various online sources). However, as ML/DL roles are limited in number as far as CDC placements are concerned compared to SWE roles, I devoted most of my preparation time to Data Structures and Algorithms. Prior to interviews, I focused mostly on topics that I was most proficient in. It is also important to be prepared for questions focused on projects/internships mentioned in the CV.
I was very impressed by the work culture in MBRDI. Since the team that I work in is focused mostly on the R&D side of things, we generally don’t have daily deadline pressure. The work-life balance is ideal. We get enough time for our own selves during weekdays and have the whole weekend off. We also get considerable liberty to explore and carry out research in topics and problems that interest us. Apart from that, we receive a lot of support, guidance and help from our fellow teammates and seniors, which makes work a lot more enjoyable. I consider myself very lucky to be a part of this wonderful company.
Working from home has its own advantages and disadvantages, which I’m sure everyone is more or less aware of. Personally, I do not prefer it as I often lose focus from work and get distracted too easily while working at home. Following a fixed routine, which I feel is a good habit, also becomes difficult.
Ideally, people who are fairly proficient in Data Structures and Algorithms and are interested to work in the field of ML/DL and have some kind of background in the same (in the form of courses, projects, internships, etc.) should apply for this job. Last year, the position was offered only to students having/pursuing a masters.
Do your preparation wisely. If you are someone who is targeting SWE roles as well as ML/DL roles, make sure to spend most of your time preparing Data Structures and Algorithms, as that will come in handy in most of your interviews. I would not encourage anyone to focus solely on ML/DL roles, as only a handful of companies offer the same. Stay confident, stay focused and don’t lose hope if you face a few rejections at the beginning, rest assured your time will come eventually, and it is important that you keep your composure till the end. A lot also depends on luck, so don’t be hard on yourself if you see your peers getting placed before you do. After all, days 1,2,3 are just numbers 😊 All the best to everyone sitting for placements this year! Do not worry, something wonderful is waiting for you on the other side.

Hi, my name is Sohan Rudra and I am a Pre-Doctoral researcher at Google Research India where I work at the intersection of Reinforcement Learning and Robotics. I graduated this year from the Department of Mathematics (Maths and Computing) at IIT Kharagpur.
How did you get into Google? What was the selection procedure?
I came across this position through a KGP senior who works at Google. Usually, during late September or October, the job position is published on the career page. I applied as soon as possible using an employee referral. The official interviews started in January (subject to change) and consisted of three rounds, namely coding, research and team-fit (all 45 minutes). The coding round consisted of standard Data-Structures and Algorithms style questions. The research interview round consisted of questions from the projects on my CV; and my chosen area of interest (Reinforcement Learning). After these rounds, a hiring committee decides whether the candidate meets the bar based on interview feedback. A team-fit-round commences after this. This round involves having discussions with potential managers. If both the parties (you and the team) agree on the fit, the company floats an offer.
I was preparing for both on-campus and off-campus placement interviews. I tried to balance the prep for both software and research roles. The common intersection between these two is the coding interview. I started with finishing Interview Bit, which helped me get reacquainted with the Algorithms and Data Structures. Following the advice of a couple of my juniors, I also started familiarising myself more and more with the STL library. During the weekends, I gave competitions on LeetCode, which helped me in learning time management. This is in no way adequate for software roles, and hence I would urge you all to refer to the informative blogs written by Code Club and SWG on this topic.
For research interviews (in Machine Learning), you need two things
1) Total familiarization with the projects in your CV,
2) Good clarity of the fundamentals of mathematics and machine learning. To re-familiarize myself with the projects in my CV, I scavenged through my documentation/papers and revisited all the nitty-gritty details in each one. As I was already in mathematics and computing, I have a background in relevant mathematical concepts of Machine Learning. I revised notes from my courses in probability, linear algebra, optimization etc. Apart from these, I referred to the following books for preparation, Cracking the Coding Interview by Gayle Laakmann McDowell, Deep Learning by Aaron Courville, Ian Goodfellow, & Yoshua Bengio and Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction by Andrew Barto and Richard S. Sutton. Also, it’s helpful to remain up to date with the seminal works in one’s research area.
The work culture at Google revolves around people, collaboration and impact. One is always encouraged to solve problems that can have a huge impact on people. You will get to meet and work with many eminent researchers from all over the world. Everyone is very helpful, and no one is unreachable. The learning curve is quite steep but very rewarding. Also, the company makes various accommodations towards the mental health and well being of all its employees. The work-life balance is good; one can get ample amount of time for themselves after work. Managing time zones can be a bit challenging at times, as most of the projects are worked upon by several different teams from all over the world which requires effective collaboration from all sides.
Working from home is challenging, not going to lie. Although teams try their best to facilitate open communication channels by having one-on-one and chill-out sessions, still it can never replace face to face conversations. Now that I have spent a week working from the office, I can firmly say; that the amount of enriching conversations that one can have by casually bumping into people or having lunch or coffee is not possible virtually. It also makes everything a bit more collaborative as you sometimes chit chat with your teammates and managers, brainstorm together and help each other solve problems. In WFH, one needs to be more alert about their well being, making sure that you don’t get burnt out and always keep people informed by talking as much as you can with your team and managers. I struggled a lot with imposter syndrome, but
After actively communicating with my manager, things changed for the better. In WFH conditions, communication and setting up proper schedules for yourself has become even more crucial.
The pre-Doctoral researcher is a limited contract position with an aim towards helping people get relevant research exposure and preparing them for applying to a PhD program. So I would say this position is ideal for someone who has a keen interest in Machine Learning research and would like to explore the field more. Even people who are in stitches between academia and industry can apply and get more clarity.
Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for placements this year.
Even though this blog is not about on-campus placements, but having gone through the process myself, I can understand the tremendous pressure that people are under during these times. The best advice from my side is to reach out as much as you can to your peers, parents, seniors, etc. Let people know when you need any help; for example, a couple of my friends (pass-outs at that time) recommended various books, looked at my CV countless times, helped me with interview processes etc. Also, I have seen people treat interviews like exams and try to cram their way into it, which is the completely wrong approach. They are like a conversation, and so there are no expectations that you have to know everything. Placements are a culmination of the four or five years of your college life, not the last four or five days. Hence, it is perfectly ok to say I have not worked on XYZ, so I don’t know. And lastly, I know that it is difficult, but keep your mental health a top priority and take care of yourself. Going into the interview with a healthy mindset can make all the difference.
Off campus and On campus CV are attached in image format.

Brief Introduction
I am Raj Kumar Singh, I am working in JP Morgan Chase as a QR Analyst. I graduated from the Department of Mining Engineering, IIT Kharagpur in 2021 completing my dual degree course.
How did you get into JPMorgan Chase? What was the selection procedure?
Last year JPMorgan QR was open for all departments but they shortlisted only those candidates for the test who had a CGPA of more than 7.5. They then had an online test consisting of 2 segments:
1. 10 MCQ Quant questions consisting of tough puzzles and probability questions, 5 medium-level general maths questions consisting of questions from the topic of calculus, trigonometry, and linear algebra, and lastly 10 easy coding-based MCQ questions, all to be completed within 75 minutes.
2. 2 coding questions, medium difficulty level, and mostly from the data structure to be completed within 45 minutes.
After the test, they shortlisted around 25 candidates and they took interviews consisting of 3 rounds
1. Quant Round: This is the most important round and a bit tough compared to other rounds and questions related to puzzles, probability and statics, machine learning, and CV-based questions were asked.
2. Coding Round: A couple of medium-level coding questions related to data structures and dynamic programming were asked.
3. HR Round: General questions were asked.
∙ For Quant I would suggest practicing quant problems as much as possible, especially from Heard on the street, 50 CPI, and brain stellar, apart from this Xinfeng and Geeks for Geeks Puzzles are good too.
∙ Apart from questions focus on theories too of statistics and machine learning. You don’t need to be a master in machine learning, but basic knowledge helps a lot.
∙ Coding, they don’t ask as though questions as the SWE role companies ask in our campus, but a good knowledge of data structures is a must. I would suggest practicing each and every problem from Interview Bit and a few famous questions from Leetcode.
∙ They don’t demand Finance knowledge but basic knowledge helps. I would suggest knowing different types of derivatives instruments, bond valuation, basic portfolio management theories, and Economics would be sufficient.
∙ For general maths, they ask in test, I would suggest not to take so much tension of it, as they are JEE level questions which most of us are already master at it.
The working environment is amazing, people here are just a text away to help you with any doubts you have, the managers are super cool. Although compared to other companies in the same domain, they make you do a lot of work, a lot, but the weekends are the days where you enjoy your life to the fullest, as they don’t have on-call or other stuff as such.
Also, we have huge flexibility in working hours. you need to be in meetings whenever scheduled and complete your work on time.
It wasn’t bad to be honest, as we got our flexibility for it but it came at the cost of feeling alienated at times, but we do have a lot of online teams to catch up where discussing anything of work is strictly prohibited :P and also as people were so helpful and just a text away and hence absolutely no problem was there other than network issues at times from my side.
JPMC QR has a wide variety of roles, so anyone who wants to work in the Finance industry has an interest in ML and Finance, or has an interest in coding can apply for this job.
The first suggestion would be relaxing your mind, the placement is a very hectic and demanding process, and at times demand luck too which isn’t in your hand so don’t strain yourself too much, your time will come for sure. I have friends getting placed in Day 1 and I even have friends getting placed in Day 7, but all of them are doing equally well now, so don’t feel anxious, rather think positive.
My second suggestion would be not to compare yourself with anyone because the companies visiting our campus provide decent jobs to start with, so even if you got the worst placement (if in case you start thinking so) compared in your friend circle that is still one of the best jobs to start your career.
My last suggestion would be to help other people too, it is hard times with such a hectic placement schedule in which a lot of people end their days (especially in day 1–3) with 5–6 rejections daily, so it is very important to talk to people, support them and help as much as possible.

Brief Introduction :
Hi! I am Shakul. I was privileged to have spent some of the best couple years of my life on campus as a Dual Degree student in the Chemical Engineering Department during which I gathered some interest in the research on the micro/mesoscale phenomena. I decided to work on the R&D side of Chemical Engineering and ended up joining the PhD Program in ChemE at MIT. When I’m not working, I usually like enjoying food, going out for walks or watching anime.
How did you get into Dr Reddy’s Laboratories? What was the selection procedure?
The placement process is not very uncommon. It was conducted in a virtual way for us. Dr. Reddy’s has a shortlisting test, which tests your core concepts along with some chemistry (afaik it was mostly polymers) along with a logical reasoning part (pattern identification mostly).
Then, there is a GD round which is usually more technical and requires you to discuss as a team and come up with a solution within a reasonable time limit. While on one hand it is good to come forward and speak, you need to ensure that you do not cut others off. Also, few ingenious points go a long way compared to a barrage of obvious things.
After the GD, there was only one interview round which involved questions from your resume, previous internships and HR-related things.
First of all, it is best to have an idea of whether you are interested in core CH or not. If you are, then try to pay attention to the key ideas delivered in the class. Also, try to maintain a good CGPA. I guess anything over an 8 should be a good sign. Finally, make sure you get hold of some good notes (books would be too daunting) on the major Chemical Engineering areas — Reaction Engineering, Mass Transfer and Fluid Mechanics in particular. Study from the notes to revise the fundamentals. Try to keep an open mind during the interview.
Based on what I’ve heard, Dr. Reddy’s offers decent work-life balance. The cultural aspects could change over time and I feel it is best to ask the folks currently working in the company.
Working from home seems like a great idea at first but I was constantly missing out on all the fun. Work-from-home settings tend to leave you in circumstances where you are too bored or lazy to work because of the inverse effect of working too much. I tried to balance my productivity by taking short breaks (naps), organizing brainstorming sessions and staying connected with friends.
The ideal candidate would be one who is interested in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The company appears to value those who have had some experience (in relevant
academic/industrial pursuits) and those who display knowledge and interest in production challenges (Process Engineering).
One of the biggest hurdles between you and that offer is your own doubt.

Hello Everyone!
I'm Meet Joshi, an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur, and I am currently working as an SDE at Amazon. I am part of the Advertising technology team, where I contribute to developing large-scale advertising systems.
How did you get into Amazon? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure is as follows:
It is a knockout process. To pass the rounds, you have to solve all the questions correctly. If you fail in any of the rounds, you won’t progress further.
I have been into CP since third year. Apart from that, I focused on iB and LeetCode for placement preparations.
Work culture is 5/10. Work-life balance is 5/10.
Working from home is good. In a way, you get flexible timings.
Difficulties: You might face difficulties during mentorship and the initial phase. It might be occasionally difficult to sync-up with fellow employees and teammates. Also, you don’t get a feel of the rich heritage and culture of the office environment.
Only those who have a keen interest in the Software Development domain must apply.
Give your best and don’t worry about the results. Life is not a sprint, it is a marathon.

1) Brief introduction and description of offered role
I am N Anushka, a 3rd-year undergraduate student from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. In the 2023 CDC Internship Drive I got an Internship offer from Adobe Research.
2) How did you get into Adobe? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process for Adobe Research consisted of one online test and one round of interview. Online Test: The online test was held on HackerRank and was around one and a half hours long. It had two parts: The first contained a total of 18 MCQs, which had questions from data structures like stack, queue, linked list, tree, etc. The second section contained two coding questions (which were of an easy to medium difficulty). You needed to solve both coding questions correctly and perform well in MCQs in order to get through. Interview Round: There was only one round of interview, which was around 20 minutes long in my case. I was asked a few questions on linear algebra which I had mentioned in my resume as my coursework. They also asked about my knowledge in graphs. Majority of the interview was spent on discussing a project I put in my resume (It was a project on machine learning). You can expect questions from Data Structures and Algorithms, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics. The interview was mainly on CV grilling. Being thorough with your CV is a must. Having some projects on ML will be very beneficial for the interview round.
3 )How to prepare for them?
For Coding Test Round: Learning data structures and algorithms and practising DSA questions from LeetCode. In the last month to get the idea about interview questions you can practise questions on InterviewBit. For Interview Round: During the interview, try to be calm and composed and answer the questions honestly and confidently. Also, prepare a nice introduction beforehand to start well. You should be very well prepared about all the points, especially the projects you put in your resume. It’s better to avoid putting the things you are less confident about, as there may be cross-questions about anything they find interesting. Having good technical projects is always desirable, as it boosts your chances. A good project related to NLP or Computer Vision would enhance your resume considerably for this profile, as most of the projects in Adobe Research are related to these fields.
4) When did you start preparing for this role and according to you what is the ideal time for aspirants to begin their preparation?
I started preparation during the summer break. Starting your preparation in May is not too late. You just have to be diligent and keep a timeline so that you can finish it before the tests start as then you will not be having much time.
5)What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile?
How did you overcome them? As I was preparing for both Software and Core profile, there were too many things to prepare. To overcome this, I asked for advice from some of my friends and seniors which really helped me strategically plan my preparation, and working on it consistently throughout the summers helped me prepare well for the Internship process. I would advise, whenever you are having some difficulty regarding the preparation try to talk to your seniors or your batchmates who are also aiming for the same profile this will really help you overcome that problem.
7) According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
Anyone who has a keen interest in the field of NLP or Computer Vision, and wants to innovate something in this field should apply for this internship.
8) Kindly attach your CV/Resume. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in CV while targeting this profile?
For this profile the most important part of the CV is the Projects and Internships section. Try to present your projects very well, as having 1–2 nice projects related to the profile will definitely increase your chances of selection. As you would be asked many questions related to your projects, prepare well for whatever you write in your CV.
9) Lastly, what advice would you like to give to the students aiming to grab CDC internships this year?
Don’t be stressed at a time like this. Give your best and enjoy the outcome. All the best for your journey!!!

1) Brief introduction and description of the offered role
A) Hi! I am Sambhav, an MF Dual Degree Final Year student pursuing my summer internship in the core sector at Dr.Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. So as I received the invite for the 2024 edition of SWG’s Foresight, I could not help but recall the time of my preparations — when I was
going through these blogs — a lot of them, to attain as much “foresight” as I could. So my answers might be a bit detailed but I believe they would help people targeting similar roles or roles in Core Engineering.
I was offered the role of R&D intern at Dr. Reddy’s. So Dr. Reddy’s has their flagship Young Leaders Programme for fresher graduates (Full-time placement roles) every year in which they are offered multiple stints across Manufacturing (plant-based work) and IPDO (lab and R&D) along with a month of rural immersion. Their internship program is a precursor to that in which they offer us the chance to work on projects, which are usually the parts of a bigger project to get a feel of working on real-world problems, getting a good idea of how the company works, and the Pharmaceutical Industry in general. Finally, at the end of the internship program, they offer PPOs to prospective YLPs based on performance. So my role as an R&D intern involves working on a core Engineering Problem under their IPDO division.
2) How did you get into Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories? What was the selection procedure?
A) After the CV submission, there was the release of the test shortlist. After that, we had a test which consisted of aptitude, technical as well as behavioral questions. The technical questions were mostly aligned with GATE’s previous year’s questions with higher weightage given to Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and likewise. Aptitude questions were also easily doable if one has practiced questions from the CAT and similar exams. For the behavioral part, I would say one has to be consistent with the type of values that you reflect via answers.
After the test, there was a technical group discussion round in which we were given handouts explaining a particular manufacturing process that they followed. We had to answer a certain set of questions on our understanding of it. To clear this round understanding of basic processes in thermodynamics, Heat transfer and psychrometric processes, and concepts of heat exchange are enough.
After this, we had our interview which was mostly based on core Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering like Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer. They also paid attention to projects particularly those which aligned with their work like numerical modeling and CFD. Post that we were called for the HR round where they grilled us on topics like our motivation to join the pharmaceutical industry, why we want to join Dr. Reddys, where we see ourselves in the next five years, and similar HR questions that have become quite typical.
3) How to prepare for them?
A) My previous answer covers a lot of the preparation. Some useful resources would be MITOpenCourse Ware Lectures, NPTEL Playlists, and GATE-shot videos. Apart from that, if anyone is interested, he/she can also watch the Hands-On Introduction to Engineering Simulations by Cornell University for a good idea of ANSYS and Engineering Simulations. Again the Simulations part is not a requirement nor necessity but a useful tool to know if one wants to sustain in the core field.
A) I started my preparation in the vacations preceding the CDC. I started the preparation in a very structured manner. My priority during that time was to clear out concepts that would be needed for sustaining in core industry such as the basics of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Next, I started up with gate question answers that helped me tackle the tests associated with the selection process. Finally, since HR questions have sort of become predictable, I did prepare for them as well and framed my thoughts regarding certain frequently asked HR questions.
Ideally, preparing sincerely and diligently throughout the vacations preceding CDC should be enough but it is better to start early i.e. as early as the end of the third semester to build up a strong profile if one is firm about going into the core sector.
5) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome them?
A) The major challenge that I faced while preparing for this role was my lack of confidence. Having been rejected at different stages in various companies preceding Dr.Reddy’s was enough to shake up my confidence. The key here is to stay in touch with friends, talk to people, talk to seniors, and speak it out. CDC internships are indeed a challenging time and it can easily get overwhelming. Talking to seniors especially those who have gone through the story of rejections and acceptances can boost one’s morale & Confidence is the key to a good interview.
6) Are there any specific requirements such as department, CGPA, or other criteria for this position? Additionally, do certain PORs or EAAs enhance one’s chances of securing this internship?
A) Dr.Reddy’s hires Chemical and Mechanical Engineers for their Manufacturing/R&D intern role. So students of the Chemical and Mechanical Departments (which includes MF-MFDual) are preferred over other core departments like Metallurgy/Civil who are also allowed to apply. There is no specific CGPA bar as such, though a good CGPA (8 or higher) would put one in a strong position. They also have a data analytics role open for all departments but there is a bit of a bias towards students of circuital branches.
PoRs are not required as such but in my opinion, PoRs help to shape one’s personality and build one’s confidence which ultimately gets one through the gruelling rounds different companies have to offer. So while I don’t feel PoRs are necessary for this role it would be great to have one or a few to grow and develop as a person.
In terms of other criteria, having a project in the core sector, especially process engineering or numerical simulations does help though it is again not a very strict requirement.
A) In my opinion, those who are interested in the core Engineering sector, especially core Chemical and Process Engineering must apply for this job. Apart from that, those with an idea of the pharmaceutical industry or looking forward to having a strong career in the pharmaceutical industry should also apply for this role.
8) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
A) Some of the key points that you could keep in mind would be to mention relevant competitions and event participation if any — even General Championship participation in events like ChemQuest/ Hardware Modelling/Product Design can be a good addition. One can also mention the certifications — certified courses, if any. They are an indicator of learning beyond the academic curriculum and staying updated with industry needs. I had a couple of competitions as well as certifications over which I had a small discussion with my interviewer. Finally mentioning Extra-Curricular Activities is a must as it shows an all-round personality.
A) My 2 cents on that would be to go through the process very boldly; there will be many failures as well and many opportunities will come with every failure, it is important to learn from every attempt. One more thing to follow during interviews is to try to maintain a smile and engage the interviewer, and not make it a one-sided conversation.
Finally, I would like to say that there are opportunities available outside of CDC as well which can provide a pretty good learning experience as well. Hence there is no need to be overburdened by the hype created around CDC internships.

Hey everyone! I am Shubh Guwalani, a pre-final year undergraduate student from the Department of Biotechnology, enrolled in the dual Degree course. I’m Interning at Fidelity Investments in Data Science domain in its AI Centre of Excellence department in the Private Investments division. This is a research and application-based role, and you will be expected to research and develop innovative solutions for the finance industry.
2) How did you get into Fidelity Investments? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure requires us to submit our CVs, and after a round of CV shortlisting, there are 2 Technical Interview rounds followed by an HR Interview. The company especially looks for CVs that are NLP-oriented and a little exposure to finance projects. Having an LLM project in your CV would fetch brownie points.
In the first Technical Interview round, I was asked about my projects and previous internships and to explain the detailed working and mathematical models used in the algorithms in detail. I had a project related to financial analysis using Deep Learning Algorithms, and we discussed that in detail during the interview.
In the second technical round, my coding abilities were tested, where I was asked to hardcode some of the ML algorithms, like logistic regression and LSTM, on paper (that is, without using preexisting libraries). I was asked to compare the algorithms I had mentioned in my CV on the basis of efficiency and accuracy, and there were also some questions about OOPs.
HR round was not easy. You will be required to explain your personality and will be asked situational questions, and your answers must reflect your personality. I kept the interaction more of a discussion and less of a question-answer format which helped me have an interactive interview and reflect my skills to the interviewer efficiently.
Build a Strong Foundation in Statistics and Mathematics
Data science relies heavily on statistical and mathematical concepts. Ensure you have a solid grasp of probability, linear algebra, calculus, and statistical inference.
Proficiency in programming languages, particularly Python and R, is essential. Python is widely used in all ML algorithms, while R is powerful for statistical analysis. Practice writing clean, efficient code and familiarize yourself with libraries like pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and matplotlib.
Study different algorithms such as linear regression, decision trees, k-means clustering, and neural networks. Implement these algorithms on real datasets to understand their nuances and applications.
Participate in Kaggle competitions, work on personal projects, or contribute to open-source data science projects. These experiences not only improve your skills but also enhance your portfolio, showcasing your ability to solve real-world problems.
Master tools like Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Tableau to create compelling visualizations that tell a story with your data. Good visualizations can make complex insights more accessible to non-technical stakeholders.
Try to learn about Transformer architecture and familiarize yourself with using hugging face transformers and building customized models.
I started preparing in my 2nd year. I started out by learning ML and DL, then did a few projects from Kaggle, and then developed industry skills by doing Internships. In my third year, I did a lot of DSA and learned theoretical concepts like OOPs, computer networks, and system design to polish my skills. The ideal time for preparation would be one year before the interview, but I have seen people prepare in around 3–4 months as well, so that depends on your commitment.
5)What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome them?
The most difficult part was staying up to date on new algorithms and models that are added almost daily and to approach each problem in a different way to get the best results. I overcame this problem by reading blogs, participating, and looking at other users’ solutions on Kaggle and comparing them to my own.
6)Are there any specific requirements such as department, CGPA, or other criteria for this position? Additionally, do certain PORs or EAAs enhance one’s chances of securing this internship?
Fidelity opens for dual degree students of all the departments with a CGPA of more than 7.5 but having a CGPA of more than 8 and being from a circuital department certainly gives you an edge. PORs and EAAs are not very important, but they can become a good point to talk about during your HR interview.
7)According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
Anyone who is interested in AI research with an interest in finance would be an ideal candidate for this role. This will give you an upper hand if you want to switch to other asset management firms like Blackrock, Vanguard or even financial service firms like Capital One and Slice.
8)What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
You must try to add as much points as possible from the following as the company does not take a coding test, so making an impressive CV becomes extremely important.
2. Projects and Internships in NLP must be mentioned as the company works with these a lot.
3. Financial data analysis related projects and LLM projects will give you an upper hand in the CV shortlisting.
9)Lastly, what advice would you like to give to the students aiming to grab CDC internships this year?
The CDC internship process is very tolling on the mind and body with tests so don’t give up even if you don’t get a day one or day two offer or even shortlisted. Keep trust in your preparation and skills. You will definitely get a chance to show them, and when you do, make sure you make it count. Make sure you prepare for interviews by taking mock interviews and get your CVs evaluated by seniors in the domain you wish to pursue. I wish all the best to all the people sitting for internships this year. Believe in yourselves, and you can do it.

1) Brief introduction and description of offered role.
Hello Readers, I am Nandini Bajaj, a fourth-year undergraduate pursuing my Integrated Master of Science in Applied Geology. I am from North Lakhimpur, Assam. Outside of my academics and work, I am passionate about community service and reading, and I have a deep interest in yoga and meditation.
I am excited to share that I will be working as an Intern at LEK Consulting this summer.
2) How did you get into L.E.K Consulting? What was the selection procedure?
For LEK, I applied through the CDC internship portal, and at first over 30 students were shortlisted based on their CVs.
After that, I was assigned a “buddy,” who is an alumni working full-time at LEK for 2 years. We could discuss any doubts or concerns with the assigned buddy. The buddy also guided me in the case preparation process and answered any general queries about the interview process or the company, such as the type of work and projects. There were mock case rounds with the buddy. In the first one, we solved a guesstimate, and to be honest, my performance did not match my expectations. Then, she guided me on the resources to cover for the interview process. After a few days, I had my second buddy round where we solved a profitability case, which went quite well.
The next round was a senior buddy round, which took place a day before the final interview day. While senior buddy rounds are said to be non-evaluative, it ultimately matters how you perform as it is a confidence booster. They also share honest feedbacks which help a lot for further rounds. For this, she also gave me a profitability case, and this round gave me a taste of how actual interview rounds would be, though I met my expectations and was satisfied with my performance.
On the interview day, the first round was a typical case round, where the interviewer asked me about a market entry case and the interviewer seemed quite satisfied, which made me confident for further rounds.
The next round was the partner interview, which is the decisive round for selection. The partner might present a case, ask questions about your CV, or engage in a conversational mix of both. In my interview, the focus was primarily on my CV; he asked about my previous internships, positions of responsibility, learning experiences, and motivation.
The final round was the HR interview, which consisted of standard HR questions regarding my motivation. She also presented a few scenarios and asked for my opinions on them. The interview went well, and she was pleased with my responses.
To prepare effectively, focus on cases (profitability, market-entry, merger and acquisition, and most importantly unconventional cases), guesstimates, and HR questions.
Begin with understanding case basics through online resources like CIC IIT Bombay or Victor Cheng’s videos. Progress to more structured frameworks from the IITM case book (Day 1.0). Practice cases with peers (form case groups), and seniors, seek feedback, and maintain a review sheet to track improvements.
Guesstimates can be honed using resources like the Guesstimates booklet by Communique IIT Kharagpur. Practice one guesstimate per day, and be efficient with your calculations and figures for different common parameters.
Lastly, prepare for HR questions towards the end using materials like the IITM Book and ensure clarity on personal motivations, that will be asked in the interview.
Although I didn’t dedicate significant time to preparation during the summer, I concentrated intensely after my CV was shortlisted. However, I strongly advise my juniors to start case preparation during the summer, aiming for at least one case per day and increasing to 3–4 cases daily as the interview period approaches. Keep in mind that quantity doesn’t substitute for thoroughly covering every case type and becoming comfortable solving them, even when presented randomly.
I have faced various challenges mainly during my case preparation.
1. With numerous online sources available, it was daunting for me to select the right resources. To overcome this, I stuck to trusted platforms like CIC IIT B, Victor Cheng videos, and the IITM case book, ensuring that I was covering all topics without overwhelming myself with excessive resources.
2. Initially, I was uncertain about structuring my interview preparation, but then I found a website by Victor Cheng. It automatically generated a comprehensive plan and tracker based on the days left until the interview, which provided clarity and direction in my preparation process.
3. To track my progress and identify areas for improvement, I religiously maintained a review sheet. Documenting mistakes, areas of growth, and feedback received, I regularly revisited this sheet, leveraging it as a tool for continuous enhancement.
4. As I was solving cases, I understood the significance of preliminary inquiries in case-solving, and I developed a standardized list of such questions. Adhering to this list consistently in every case, helped me in thorough consideration of crucial aspects, helping in a comprehensive problem-solving approach.

Ans: I am Ahana Ganguly, a 4th year undergraduate in the department of Mechanical Engineering, enrolled in its dual degree course having the specialization : Manufacturing Science and Engineering. I have been selected as a Software Development Intern at Jaguar Land Rover for the summer of 2024. Jaguar Land Rover is an automobile manufacturing company.
2) How did you get into Jaguar Land Rover? What was the selection procedure?
Ans: Initially, we had a CV shortlisting. In the next round we had to solve as many MCQs as possible within a time limit of one hour which were mostly mathematical with increasing difficulty levels. In the same round there were two coding questions of medium difficulty level which we had to solve within a time limit of fifty minutes.The final round was an interview round which in my case lasted for about 80 minutes and consisted of both Technical and HR round
Technical round: In this round entire CV grilling was done. I was asked in-depth questions about my Software development as well as Machine learning projects. After 30 minutes I received coding questions which consisted of in-depth questions from DSA. I was also asked to write a code and different test cases were given to check whether my code runs properly or not. I was also asked to debug multiple code snippets.
HR round: In this round questions like whatever project taken up into JLR in the future would have a significant impact on the future world and would come as a profit to JLR. Similar kinds of questions were asked.
Ans: Majorly the skills required are in-depth knowledge of DSA and having done good competitive programming will be a plus point. Being specific with JLR, one needs to have at least one Machine Learning project in their CV.
I participated continuously in various contests on Codeforces and Codechef, as well as followed a YouTube channel named Take You Forward for lectures related to DSA. At the same time, for Machine Learning, I did some foundation courses, and developed further knowledge by working on various projects.
Ans: I started with my preparation in my fourth semester but it is quite difficult to manage core mechanical subjects with this preparation. I prepared more rigorously from the summer of 2023. During this period of time, I used to code for around eight hours daily and give two to three hours to my projects. Having a good timetable in this crucial time is very important and helps a lot in the good preparation.
The summer before the CDC Internship selections, I feel, is the ideal time to work upon one’s skills in a rigorous manner. But, one needs to start preparing much early, preferably at least a year before the selections take place.
5) What difficulties did you face while preparing to be a Software at Jaguar Land Rover? How did you overcome them?
Ans: Being a student from a core engineering department (Mechanical Engineering), it was really difficult for me to try and take out time for coding and work upon my DSA concepts on a daily basis.
I managed to work upon my coding skills only after I prepared a good timetable in which I had allotted time for both my core subjects as well as DSA and CP. Time management is really important for getting into a software role from a non circuital department I feel.
Ans: A CGPA of at least 8 plus is required to make a good impression on the recruiter. Specifically speaking about JLR one should at least have more than one project in Machine Learning and Software Development. Relevant prior interns will also help a lot in the selection process. For the software domain POR is not much needed.
Ans: According to me, people who want to have a career in Software Development in future should apply for this job. For this, it’s really important to have an interest in coding and problem solving. As we know, coding is not just DSA but a lot more than that. A person should have a knack of solving problems, and not just do it for the sake of getting a job or earning money.
8) Kindly attach your CV/Resume. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
Ans: To make an impressive CV one must have a good CGPA of at least 8 plus. Having good projects in your CV will help a lot because the whole interview will be based upon discussion on your projects and testing your knowledge about DSA as well as highlighting your rank on different platforms, highlighting maximum streaks you had, mentioning all these points in the CV will make your CV impressive.
Ans: My advice for those who will be facing the upcoming CDC season is that you should be able to explain every point mentioned in your CV and that too in depth. Also, utilize summer vacation prior to the CDC season in a very proper way. Have a rigorous practice of coding daily. Even after getting an internship, stay in regular touch with coding.
Stay motivated throughout and enjoy the process.

Hi, I am Vineeth, I am a Dual Degree 21’ computer science graduate. I am presently working at Cisco.
The selection procedure has 2 phases, coding, interview.
Coding: I was asked 2 coding q’s, and some mcqs. Coding q’s were medium in difficulty, anyone who prepared for placements can mostly do those, only problem is c++ stl is not allowed, I used python.
Interview: I had 3 rounds total, 1 technical, 1 managerial, 1 hr round.
In technical one, they touched on the basics in os, networks, dbms, and asked me to implement code to 2 questions. They were of moderate difficulty, compared to previous coding rounds they were easy. The managerial round consisted of discussion around my CV, past experience, future plans, company culture fit, etc, this served as a behavioral round. The HR round consisted of just my interests and future goals and my priority for roles(application, network, embedded).
For coding, I prepared from interviewbit, leetcode. I don’t know if any better options are available this time. Especially for cisco, I would suggest practising some questions in python, as you would need it in the coding round. For os, networks, dbms, I used geeks for geeks and some course materials.
For interviews, doing mock interviews regarding projects, future goals, past experiences would help. In the managerial round, giving interviews peacefully being yourself, talking honestly and just having a nice discussion would help.
Work culture in cisco is pretty chill, working hours are flexible, attending meetings would be sufficient and u can set your own work timings. Work-life balance is good at cisco, the workload is not that much, also cisco came 2nd in fortune’s best places to work in 2021. That says something about work-life balance here.
I had already spent two and half semesters from home, so I would say it’s not that much new. Although I haven’t been to the office yet, I am liking wfh so far. Plus is u get flexible hours, but the minus is lack of motivation due to the environment and difficulty with meetings etc. though eventually, it seems it will be hybrid.
For me, there were 3 roles, application, network, and embedded engineer. If you wanna go for a software profile, there are more application-oriented roles, and also OS, networking oriented roles. There are few ml-related roles as well.
Ideally, those who would want to work on os, networking related software would be suitable. Though there are a few pure application development related roles as well. Discussing with the manager during the interview about your future goals would be better.
As It is around interview time already, being calm and performing your best gives you the best results. It is best to try to have honest and casual discussions during behavioral rounds. Just give your best, without worrying much.

I’m Vatsal Kapadia, an IIT Kharagpur Graduate of 2021. I was a student of the Mechanical Engineering Department, enrolled in its B-Tech Course. The major Extra-curricular activity I was involved in during my college life was TeamKART, IIT Kharagpur. I became a part of it right in my first year and continued till my final year.
How did you get into JLR? What was the selection procedure?
I got placed in JLR, during the Campus Placement Season of December 2020. The selection procedure was quite basic,
A Written Test (Aptitude + Coding +Mechanical Core (only for the core profile))
SOP Submission and Personal Interview
The test features regular GATE level questions for mechanical core. The test pattern in Aptitude and mechanical core were adaptive. Questions are of three difficulty levels and when you answer a question correctly you get a question of increased difficulty and when you answer a question wrong, the difficulty level drops in the next question.
Mechanical Core Test: Practice gate level questions for all the domains of mechanical engineering taught across the 4 years. Keep your concepts clear rather than remembering the formulas. Companies tend to ask conceptual questions more than calculation based. Expect some calculative question though
Aptitude Questions: Practice different types of aptitude questions (Quantitative and Logical).
Coding: Coding questions are not very advanced level, basic questions that are found online for practice will do for the preparations.
Interview: KNOW YOU CV INSIDE OUT. Prepare for core questions which are related to the projects you have written in your CV. Prepare a fluent introduction of yourself and your CV in advance.
Also Prepare HR questions in advance like Strengths, weaknesses and Where do you see yourself in 5 years, etc. Finally, MOCK INTERVIEWS ARE A MUST. You will get to know the level of our confidence properly only after giving some mock interviews.
The Work Culture at JLR India is all you can ask for. Being a part of JLR India doesn’t mean you are confined to working with the India team, new graduates like us also work directly with the core UK team. Everyone is very approachable and open to discuss new ideas. Research is also pursued with great enthusiasm. We never feel like we are just Graduate Engineers, everyone’s opinions are valued. In terms of Work-Life Balance, we are always encouraged never to work outside of working hours. The UK team is also very understandable in managing the Time-zone gap and we generally don’t have to work late. So in all the balance is pretty good.
Working from home is a very debatable subject. Some people feel comfortable working from home while some prefer the office work environment. Personally I don’t enjoy working from home, because I had to do my internship online due to a pandemic and then the rest of the College activities happened online so I always wanted to start working in an office environment. Also collaboration is very difficult. We have to set up calls and meetings for very small discussions which can easily be done personally without wasting a lot of time in office space. Plus, it is difficult to generate interest when you have to stare at your screen for 8 hours, when you are working from home.
The Automotive Industry is moving towards a more Software oriented philosophy with the advent of Electric vehicles and satisfying customer needs. So only people with mechanical interest can apply for this job is now a myth. Anyone who has interest in product engineering, system engineering, even AI and coding can apply for the job. A lot of interesting and cutting edge technologies are being worked on in the industry, which previously were far from the needs of the automotive industry. But not anymore.

A) Hey! I’m Sparsha Sherke, a fourth-year undergraduate from the Department of Agricultural and Food Engineering with a specialization in Financial Engineering. I was a Student Placement Coordinator at CDC, IIT Kharagpur for the session 2023–24 and I’m a part of E-Cell and Encore as well.
I am interning at Amplus Solar as a Data Scientist working with the Digital Solutions team this summer.
2) How did you get into AMPLUS SOLAR? What was the selection procedure?
A) The selection process had the following 3 steps: 1. Resume shortlisting
2. Preliminary interview
3. Final interview
The preliminary interview primarily involved a brief discussion of the data science-related projects and internships listed on my resume. The final interview was more rigorous, including an in-depth evaluation of the projects that I had been a part of at my previous data science internship, a thorough questioning of several deep learning concepts, and concluding with technical questions related to the field of renewable energy.
A) I would advise anyone preparing for a data science internship at Amplus to have a comprehensive understanding of the projects and internships listed on their resume. It’s crucial to be well-versed in all the details mentioned in it. Additionally, take the time to explore how the specific role can contribute to your professional growth and identify what aspects of the field interest you. This is often overlooked but highly important.
A) Data science internship roles, especially for undergraduates, generally require a solid understanding of fundamental machine learning and deep learning concepts, including their workings and implementation. A basic knowledge of probability and statistics is also beneficial. The time needed to prepare can vary for each individual, but I can share my own experience. I had been delving into areas like deep learning and computer vision for about 4–5 months before my interview at Amplus, and this preparation provided me with a significant advantage.
A) I believe it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information and resources available for data science and related fields. It’s easy to lose focus and become demotivated. I experienced this myself, and based on my experience, I advise the following: create a timeline for your preparation. Start with the basics and then focus on building projects, as projects hold more value than courses. Consult with seniors and make a structured timeline, including the sequence of resources you will follow. Stick to it and be diligent. Also remember that the field of data science is constantly evolving, and you need to keep upskilling to stay relevant.
A) Amplus does not have any particular bias towards one’s department or CGPA; however, maintaining a decent CGPA is always advantageous. Similar to most other tech roles, PORs hold minimal significance. What truly makes a candidate stand out are strong projects and relevant internships. Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, a strong motivation to explore the field of renewable energy would be highly beneficial.
A) If you see yourself working with data to develop solutions/products and are committed to continuous learning, this would be an excellent choice. Furthermore, if you enjoy collaborating with teams to create technology-based solutions with significant real-world impact in the field of solar energy, a data scientist role at Amplus would be an ideal option.
A) This was my CV when I applied for an internship at Amplus: Drive
I would like to emphasize three key points:
A) CDC conducts the internship processes to help students gain valuable industry experience. Make the most of this opportunity. However, it’s important to remember that the competition is intense. Not securing an internship through CDC does not reflect your personal worth or talent in the field. Stay motivated, keep your spirits high, and best of luck!

My internship was under the BIU(Business Intelligence Unit) department at Axis Bank, Worli. The BIU department was mostly oriented towards the understanding of business and extracting useful insights using data analysis for business. Internship duration was from mid-May to mid-July.
There was a 5-hour small hackathon on Hackerrank. The problem statement was to perform sentiment analysis on youtube video comments text data and recommending them. Later, there was an interview with shortlisted candidates. The interview was mostly related to machine learning algorithms and about the previous internship project discussion. At last, they asked one puzzle and one guesstimate.
Do some data analysis courses in the CS department and some statistics courses. Go through basic data analysis books(like ISLR). Prepare for puzzles from GeeksForGeeks, InterviewBit and Heard on the street book. Take part in some online data analysis competition. Do some data analysis related projects.
My project was building a recommendation engine for their products and services. The objective was to recommend the next best product suitable for the customer from the customer’s perspective.
Company culture is very good. Our team was very supportive and helped in the difficulties related to projects and other procedures. KGP seniors were very supportive.
People who are interested in the business side of the bank and also want to do data analysis.
Try your best. If not this, then some better opportunities are waiting for you. All the best.

I am Rajdeep Biswas, Final Year Undergraduate student of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. I did my Summer Internship at Credit Suisse as a Financial Technology Analyst.
Credit Suisse Group AG is a Swiss multinational investment bank and financial services company founded and based in Switzerland. Headquartered in Zürich, it maintains offices in all major financial centres around the world. As the second-largest bank in Switzerland, it is considered a “Bulge Bracket” bank providing services in investment banking, private banking, asset management, and shared services. Credit Suisse is known for its strict bank-client and banking secrecy practices.
There was an online written test followed by a 3 round interview.
The online written test had 40 Questions for 60 minutes. The questions were from basic Mathematics, English, Quant, and Programming.
The basic Mathematics were from ratio proportions, average, fractions, etc.
The English were some fill in the blanks, paragraph questions, etc.
The Programming was detecting errors from some lines of code, predicting the output etc.
Calculators weren’t allowed for the test. So this test was a game of speed.
After clearing the online written test, there were three rounds of interview.The first round was a Technical round where they asked questions about my CV like projects, scholarships, and skills. Also some fundamental questions from PDS like arrays, linked list are also asked.
The second round was Managerial round which was similar to the technical round, but they ask about some situations/life events of mine which was difficult to handle for me, but I was able to handle it successfully.
The final round was HR round where they ask about my interest, strengths, weakness, life goals, plans for further studies and why I want to join Credit Suisse as I am from a circuit branch with a good CGPA (9.0+) and Credit Suisse is a bank? Also, he asked me what I know about Credit Suisse?
After giving satisfactory answers to HR, I was selected for IT profile in Credit Suisse.
Brush up 6th to 10th-grade Mathematics will be useful. Some knowledge of Algorithms and PDS will be excellent. Other sources like puzzles from Geeksforgeeks, 50 Challenging Problems in Probability will be helpful.
I worked on a web application that takes some input from the user then send it to the backend JAVA server that will fetch the data from the database server and then display the data to the user on the browser.
The technologies I have used were HTML, Angular 2, Typescript, Angular Material, Java 1.8, JAVA Rest Web service, JAVA Spring Framework, SQL.
Credit Suisse’s culture is just excellent. The first main and different thing was we were instructed not to use Sir/Madam. Yes, you read it right, no Sir/Madam. You have to call everyone in the office by their first name regardless of how much senior they are to you, but you should also have politeness in your speech and actions.
The TA seniors (Those who joined as an employee less than two years) are great, and they gave the most funda for the office and its culture.
The office timings are flexible, no in or out time monitored, however on an average you need to work around 8 hours per day.
All the managers and TA seniors are approachable for any problem. All of them encourages new ideas and questions.
You will get free office cab services from your home address to the office, but your home should be in the same city.
There were endless treats from seniors, managers, and colleagues during the internship.
Security for employees is excellent, especially for women. There are many types of securities present here. One example is there will always be a security guard in the office cab beside the driver if there is any female employee in the cab during the evening and late-night hours.
For employees, there is an exclusive system. The employees can change their team after each year. So if you are not so sure about your career in finance, you can join Credit Suisse in IT/Analyst and later change to Finance team.
Also if you want to learn how a private and investment bank works and how they use technologies to maintain its security, then it will be an excellent place for you.
And finally, if you want to know your possibility or prerequisites needed for a career in Finance then go ahead.
Do read about the company before going to interview. If possible, please look about 2008’s great depression and where was Credit Suisse’s position at that time. Keep calm and stay focused. Great Luck.

I am Shweta Gupta, a final year student, specializing in Financial Engineering. I have recently completed my summer internship in Market Liquidity & Risk Management(MLRM) profile at Credit Suisse, Mumbai.
Credit Suisse has a very reasonable selection procedure and gives equal opportunity to all the departments. The whole procedure tests quantitative aptitude and problem-solving skills. Knowledge of Finance gives an edge but is not mandatory and the company provides sufficient training to enable understanding and completion of the project. The selection procedure consists of four steps:
Step 1: CV Shortlisting. The company shortlists a good number of candidates for the written test and there is no fixed CG criteria as such.
Step 2: The Test. The selection test conducted is very unique and is the most important factor in the selection process. It mainly consists of subjective questions centred around Probability & Statistics, Partial Differentials, Integrals and a few basic questions from Finance(typically Derivatives). Presenting the solution properly is of prime importance as the approach adopted for each question is critically judged.
Step 3: The Interviews. After the test, the selected candidates have to go through two rounds of interviews, depending upon the candidate. The interview starts with discussing the test questions(primarily the unattempted ones) followed by a few puzzles and CV based questions. There is no ideal way of preparing for these interviews as these depend a lot on the individual’s profile as well as your conversation with the interviewers. Prepare your CV well and keep your mind fresh. The interviewers are very helpful and will guide you in case you stutter sometimes.
Step 4: HR Interview. Again, there is no straightforward technique to prepare for this. All you can do is have a look at some common HR questions. Asking a lot of questions is key in this round, as well as this internship.
Study the relevant topics from Iyengar, Montgomery, Class Notes and practice puzzles from Heard on the Street, 50 Challenging Problems in Probability. For questions based on Finance, a basic understanding of Derivatives from Investopedia/Khan Academy or other online sources would be sufficient. If you are a Financial Engineering student or have some background in Finance, be well versed with all the completed courses/internships.
All interns are assigned different teams and different projects. There is a lot of variety in projects across different teams, each requiring a different skillset. My project was under the Solutions Methodology Team which works on developing and implementing Market Risk Methodologies for Rates, FX & Commodities. I had to document the Interest Rate Curve Construction details for Emerging Market Economies which required understanding their framework and the products involved.
Totally in love with the company culture! The work hours are flexible and require a daily minimum of 8–9 hours. Everybody in the company is very approachable and helpful. Employees have a good work-life balance and actively participate in the extra-curricular activities, philanthropy events and awareness drives. We also had various Speaker Series Session, where senior executives across the globe, shared their experiences and gave useful and interesting career insights. Overall, it was a great learning experience.
Anyone who’s looking to explore avenues in Quantitative Finance should apply for this internship.
CDC Internship process is a totally new and different experience for the most of us. Every company has a different strategy and looks for a specific skill set. It is therefore very important to first select profiles you are interested in and prepare accordingly. Take every little step as a challenge and keep on delivering your best.
Good Luck!

I am Arnab Bir, a final year undergraduate student from the Department of Mathematics enrolled in its Integrated Masters course of Mathematics and Computing. I am from Rajendra Prasad Hall of Residence. I joined Flipkart as an SDE intern this Summer.
Flipkart hired Software Development Interns from 8 IITs including Kgp. There was no CGPA cutoff or any other pre-requisite criteria. There were 2 phases in this hiring process.
First there was a coding round on Hackerrank where we were given 3 problems to solve within an hour. Those who solved at least 2 problems properly were shortlisted for the personal interviews.
In the next phase there were 2 rounds of personal interviews which according to Flipkart’s lingo are also known as “PS & DS Algo”. The best thing about these rounds is resume plays a very limited role since it is totally based on problem solving skills which ensures no bias among the candidates. Even the problems asked to every candidate were of similar difficulty. After this whole day process, 4 of us were selected as summer flinterns.
Strong grasp over Algorithms and Data Structures is the competency they look for. So practice problems from different topics of Algo and DS and spend some time on competitive coding platforms. Prior to the interview go through the FAQs for Software Development roles on geeksforgeeks. During the interviews, try to suggest the optimal solution and in case you’re stuck ask for hints as well.
I was a part of the Logistics Insights Team at Ekart. Our team deals with a large number of Big Data and Machine Learning problems related to Ekart. My project was to develop a full stack application to validate the data quality and completeness in a near real time data transformation pipeline. To know more, refer to this blog.
The org culture is very open and empowering. No strict office hours, no dress code (it’s very difficult to find someone in formals :p ), frequent intern outings, team outings and what not. Even the interns are allowed to attend meetings with senior management if they have something to contribute as per the agenda. People are very welcoming and approachable. There were a number of occasions where we got to interact with different teams. The Flipkart’s headquarters is one of the best workspaces in Bengaluru. If you don’t believe, have a look. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYN02iqkqXM
Those who love coding and want to create impact by solving real world problems for India should give it a try.
Well, the preparation for the test is not very different from other software companies. During interviews, try to answer the most optimal solution. Although the interviews will be based on Algo and DS only, topics like Machine Learning, DBMS, OS and Networks will help you a lot during your internship.

My name is Anubhav Jain and I am pursuing B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. I interned during summers 2018 at Goldman Sachs, which is a leading global investment banking firm. I worked in the Securities Division, and my internship was 10 weeks long.
Goldman Sachs is open for students of all the departments.
Firstly, there is a test which a student needs to clear to qualify for the interview round. The test consists of the following three sections :
1. Computer Science (Coding) — 5 MCQs on core computer science concepts, 2 coding questions.
2. Quantitative Analysis (Quant) — 10 questions, MCQs/Numerical answer type questions.
3. Machine Learning — 10 MCQs.
One important thing to note is that to qualify for the interview round, one doesn’t need to excel in all the three sections. Goldman Sachs comes to hire for different teams, and they expect you to expertise in at least one of the sections, but not necessarily all of them. Different teams that GS hired people for this time are Securities, Technology, Risk, Investment Management Division (though there exist many more teams). Nevertheless, the work you do here in any of the teams is technological and engineering related. These different teams shortlist candidates for interviews based on different sections of the test. So even if you excel in only one section, you’ll definitely be shortlisted by at least one team, and if you perform just moderate in all sections, you might not get shortlisted for an interview at all.
Next comes the interview round. The type of questions that are asked depends on the team taking your interview. And the number of interviews you might end up giving depends on the number of teams who shortlist you and also on how you perform in subsequent interviews. I gave 5 interviews, all lasting about half an hour. Some (talking about those who got selected) were finished in 2–3 interviews only, while some ended up giving 7–8 interviews as well.
If I talk about the written test first, then for different sections, a different kind of preparation is required. All sections consisted of all levels of questions, ranging from easy to difficult.
Coding section: GeeksforGeeks for practising different algorithms and data structures, InterviewBit for coding practice. Doing these two things are more than enough.
Quant section: For those who have taken ProbStats course can revise the notes and practice questions on the subject, and there is also a book “Heard on the Street” that is useful in preparing for the quant section.
ML section: I felt that doing only Andrew Ng’s course was not sufficient for this section. A few theoretical questions can be expected from the course, but some advanced topics like Bagging, SVM Kernels etc. were also there.
There is nothing different to be prepared for interviews. Interview questions will be similar, maybe just with a bit more level of difficulty.
Mostly everyone here is given a unique project. My project revolved around adding a feature to an existing trading platform (coded in Java) and writing a utility to create reports (in Python).
The environment here is quite chill and friendly. There are no time restrictions (come and go whenever comfortable), no particular dress code (casuals are allowed). People are very easily approachable here, one can freely talk to any person at any position without any hesitation. All in all, you grow here in a team, working together with different people at different locations.
All the technology enthusiasts/ coding geeks/ finance loving people can freely put their trump cards to get in here.
I’m going to mention this thing just to make things clear. GS is majorly an investment banking firm. Someone might think that work here majorly is related to finance and in future, if you land at GS, your field completely becomes finance-oriented. However, this is not completely true. Work for the engineering divisions, that GS hire people for from IITs, is mostly technological. But to understand the background of the work you are doing, you need to understand the finance behind the technological requirements, thus with time, you tend to develop more knowledge in finance. So yeah, you might get deeper into finance, but you won’t get your hands off the technological work you do.
Also, it’s important to keep in mind that not everyone gets the same experience at any place. What you take out of this journey definitely depends on the firm, the team you are working in and also on you, how well you adapt yourself to a corporate environment, and how well you are able to interact and mix up with everyone around you.
I’d like to end this by saying “every day is a learning experience!”, take most out of whatever opportunity you get.
Good luck!
Warm Regards,
Anubhav Jain

I am Harsh Saraf, a Final Year B.Tech Undergraduate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I did my summer internship in the Chocolates Category of ITC Limited — Foods Business Division in Bangalore.
The summer internship program that ITC offers is called the KITES program (Knowledge, Initiative & Talent Excellence Series). The entire process consists of 4 stages: KITES Application Form and CV Submission, Psychometric Test, Group Discussion and 2 rounds of Interviews spanning over roughly 7–10 days.
Practice general topics asked in the GD round with a group of friends/wingmates at least twice or thrice to get comfortable with the concept.
For interview rounds, revise core subjects taught in the curriculum such as Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Mechanics and Dynamics along with its application in today’s industry. Do not go into a lot of depth but have a good understanding of each of them and about the major and important derivations. You might or might not be asked in-depth questions on them but it entirely depends on the interviewer. Be thorough with the most common HR and personality questions.
My project was in the Chocolates Category in the Foods Business Division. ITC manufactures a luxury brand under the name of Fabelle. My project was operations-related to the luxury chocolate bars that they manufacture. The plant and its operations were very labour intensive and my major part revolved around increasing the overall productivity of the line. The other part of my project was experimental where I had to work on increasing the liquid centre filling in the chocolate bar.
The projects are very carefully chosen and are designed in such a way that it provides a lot of learnings to both the candidate and the company. The intern is given complete freedom to utilise the resources as per his/her requirement without any restrictions. The projects given are often very critical and can create a significant impact and hence if successful are often implemented at the very moment. As an intern, you are given utmost importance and provided with all resources as necessary.
Everybody is very cooperative and helpful. It is up to the intern to try to maximise the information you can extract from their guides, managers and other experienced employees.
If you’re interested in the applications of the curriculum taught on an industrial scale and want to get a first-hand experience of industrial/factory training and working with an extreme time crunch, then ITC offers a great opportunity. However, the internship will push you to your limits and outside your comfort zone and if this is something which you don’t wish to experience then it might become a burden.
Be thorough with each point mentioned in your resume. Don’t try manipulating points as they interviewers are more often than not alumnus of KGP or people who has been through the same process. So there is no hiding anywhere. Get in touch with as many graduates who have been working in the company to get an idea about the job description and make sure it aligns with your likings and interests.
The tests, interviews and even the internship will be a great experience altogether irrespective of where you do it, try having fun.
Cheers.

I think I don’t need to give an introduction to Microsoft. So I will introduce myself. I am Sayan Mandal, from the Computer Science and Engineering department, about to go into my fifth and final year at IIT Kharagpur. I interned at Microsoft IDC after the end of my fourth year as a Data Scientist Intern and got a Pre-Placement Offer from Microsoft.
Microsoft’s selection procedure is pretty simple. They have a CGPA cutoff of 7 for a candidate to sit for the test conducted by Microsoft. Basically, there were 3 stages:
● They conducted an online coding test initially. The test had 3 coding questions and we had to solve it within 1 hour.
● After the online coding round, they conducted a Group Fly round where they gave a problem statement to all the candidates and we had to discuss with the mentors and come up with a good solution as well as implementing the solution on pen and paper. Be sure to improve your implementation skills. No matter how easy the algorithm is, you need to implement it fast on pen and paper. There was a time limit of 1 hour. Be sure to talk to your mentors properly and implement your solution efficiently on the paper.
● Those who cleared the group fly round advanced to the Interview. Personally, I had three rounds of interviews. In the first round, They asked me about algorithms and data structure. I had to write code on the paper for all the questions. In the second round, I was asked questions from Natural Language Processing and AI. Luckily, I was somewhat aware of these fields and I was able to answer the questions. In the third round, they asked me about the projects I did on my previous internships. Surprisingly, I had to write code on the paper in my third round too. So it is highly recommended to practice writing bug-free code on the paper.
Practice, practice and practice. Those who are familiar with competitive programming will get benefits above others. But it is very easy to crack good companies with two or three months of rigorous practice. Some good resources will be: geekforgeeks, Interviewbit, Leetcode. If these sources are okayish for you go for codeforces, spoj, HackerEarth etc. For dual degree people, be sure to cover OS, DBMS and networks a little bit for safety. For particularly Microsoft, be sure to improve your implementation skill.
I worked for the Office Project (“Project” is one of the many products of Office365) team. I worked on an open-ended problem based on Natural Language Processing. I had some experience in NLP, So I didn’t face many difficulties in approaching the problem from my side. They usually go through your resume while assigning you to various teams and go through your past projects, any special skills or courses taken, but in many cases, it can be randomly allotted as well.
Microsoft takes quite a lot of pride in its culture after Satya Nadella became CEO. Some of the key points are:
● Flexible Timing. You can come and leave the office anytime you want. Everyone is happy as long as you are doing your job well. No one rolls an eye at your office timing or your uniforms.
● One Microsoft. This is a term used frequently within Microsoft. This signifies although there are lots and lots of teams within Microsoft, everyone is under Microsoft. So you can ask your doubts to anyone within your team as well as out of your team. For my case, I took a lot of help from a senior software engineer in Redmond and he was very friendly and helped me a lot throughout my internship.
● Growth Mindset. This signifies Microsoft wants to hire people who want to learn it all rather than who knows it all.
● When it comes to a fun office environment, Microsoft has numerous pool tables, foosball tables etc. There is an Xbox room (obviously). You can play table tennis, cricket, volleyball etc. (just google “Microsoft IDC Hyderabad campus”). There will be a team outing, lunch and you will be getting goodies from Microsoft.
Anyone who loves computer science, coding and who wants to work in a big tech company and wants to learn about the Technologies of Tech giants should definitely apply for this internship. On a side note, those who are interested in pursuing research should not apply. One positive point of this internship is you will get the Microsoft brand in your resume.
Just a piece of general advice, don’t just run after the money and try to run away from the hype called “day 1 intern”. Try to choose companies wisely according to your interest.

I did my summer internship in Reliance Industries Limited, Dahej manufacturing division (RIL-DMD). There are more divisions located at Vadodara, Surat, Mumbai etc. However, no choices are considered for locations and these are allocated based on the project you choose. RIL-DMD was huge and had 19 plants manufacturing various things like PVC, PTA etc.
The selection is done on the basis of the test that you’ll give and your resume. There was no GD or interview round. The selection process involved a written test and resume short-listing. Initially, every applicant is allowed to sit for the written test. The selection is done on the basis of your test scores and your resume. Given that you have cleared the test cut-off and you have a decent GPA (>7.5), you have a high chance of getting selected.
The test was divided into two sections, each of 30 minutes. The aptitude section was easy and had 30 questions. You’ll require a good knowledge of the core subjects for the next 50 technical questions.
Aptitude questions can be practised from any standard prep book. For technical questions, instrumentation students should study ID-1 and ID-2 mostly.
The title of my project was “Cybersecurity in DCS and PLC systems.” I mostly had to study about the threats and their consequences in real-time operations. The work done is mostly confidential and they follow strict rules to prevent data leakage by insiders.
The work during the internship is not very intense and you’ll get a lot of time to learn about things outside of the scope of your project. I’d call my internship boring as they do not give much work to interns as most of the work control some critical infrastructure and people can be entrusted to that without proper training. The people are friendly and are always ready to help. I’d say, it’s nice if you want to see real engineering up close. The accommodation arrangements were good, you get bachelor flats with ACs.
Had to work for 6 days (huge bummer), from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm (another bummer). However, the people you work with are highly experienced and friendly. My mentor was the senior manager of the instruments section and helped me a lot to learn everything about my project. The location was also very remote, had to go to nearby cities for movies and all.
People looking for a proper industrial experience in core engineering should go for it. I’d say, you should choose your projects wisely because a lot depends on it, make sure you know about the thing you’re choosing.

I am a fourth-year UG student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in IIT Kharagpur. I got my 3rd-year summer internship via CDC in Samsung Research Institute Noida.
Selection procedure for Samsung Research Institute Noida is very simple and easy. They take tests in their own software which they will ask you to download. They give only one question in the online round for which the time duration is three hours. You can compile code any number of times but the number of submissions is limited to ten(most probably). Once you submit and if all hidden test-cases run successfully, you are done, else you just lost one submission. If you lost all ten submissions, you can’t submit anymore.
Online test is followed by a technical round and then an H-R round.
Questions asked in the online round are very easy and mostly based on data structures like 2-D matrices. If you have done a little bit of coding in summers then you can easily crack this test. In the technical round also they ask simple questions about matrix, string matching, arrays, linked list, stacks, queues etc.
I would suggest you start from geeksforgeeks and learn the basics of Data Structures then complete Topic-wise Algorithms.
In SRI Noida, I was allocated to the Application Group. My Project was based on Machine Learning and Image Processing. I had to do research and develop an android controlled software using Deep Learning. Some of my mates got projects on AI and ML and some got projects in android development and enhancement. Moreover, the project you will get depends on which team you got allocated.
Company culture is pretty nice. People are very nice and helpful. You will have to work 40 hours per week inside the office. On a daily basis, you have to be at least 4 hours a day inside the office for full attendance. That gives good flexibility in working. You will get lunch and dinner. You can also go to the cafe for coffee and drinks. For fitness, they have gym, yoga, zumba classes and medical room.
Those who want to do some good things in android development or in the mobile industry can go for this type of internship. Samsung is a well-established leader in the mobile industry and it really cares about human resources i.e. its employees. They pay you well and they treat you well.
If you are going for an internship in SRI Noida then the work you will get will depend on which team you will get allocated to. It can’t be generalized just by my work/project/experience. If you are not getting any concrete project in the first week itself better you share your interest with your manager and ask for the project in that field.

I am Yashasvi Kanchugantla, final year undergrad in the department ofComputer Science and Engineering. I did my internship for 2018summer in Schlumberger Software Technology Centre Pvt. Ltd, Pune.
The Schlumberger interview process for the Software profile was prettycandid.A preliminary CV shortlisting for the Group Discussion was done.The shortlists in the GD were allowed to attend a technical interview.The technical interview was based mostly on the projects mentioned inthe resume and on questions in programming.
After fairing in group discussion comes the technical interview.● For most of the companies, decent coding skills are sufficient.● You need to be good at problem-solving. Most of the interviewstest this skill. To improve upon problem-solving, doing questionson geeks for geeks is necessary( Do as many problems as youcan).● You should be able to explain your projects to the interviewer. Iwould suggest preparing a few points on each of the projects in
your resume. Also, emphasis on the challenges encountered andsolutions in the interview is necessary.
Preparation for internships, in general:
● Try to code the problems while doing GeeksforGeeks. Also,emphasise on thinking the solution and then coding it.● Practise using STL is recommended as that would reducethe time taken to write the code.● Try to solve problems in stipulated time. Doing contests oncodeforces and monthly challenges on codechef help a lot.● Also, do some probability and statistics. Few companiesexpect you to be ready for it.
Interns are offered projects in various areas. There are projects onalgorithm design, machine learning models, microservices, UX designetc. The project allotment is based on your resume and the needs thatare present in the company. Also sometimes, it is random.I have worked on microservices. I had to change the architecture of autility in one of the software the company delivers.
The company is huge and the people are very friendly. You get toenjoy a lot. There are a lot of socials organised by the company forinteraction with the employees and within the interns. Team bonding isthe best thing I have seen in Schlumberger. Its policies for Health, Safetyare very enlightening. The teams have people working from othercountries and also teams consist of people from different offices ofSchlumberger.
It’s a place where anybody can be accommodated. But, if you areexpecting some research experience, then this is not which youshould aim at.
Happy preparation :)

My name is Ritwika Chowdhury. I did my Software Engineering Internship at Texas Instruments during the summers of 2018.
It starts with an Online test consisting of MCQ questions. For the Software profile, the test had questions from Algorithms, Data Structures, C, Embedded system and a separate section for Aptitude.
However for the other three profiles — Analog, Digital, Digital Signal Processing they had MCQ questions from the respective domains.
After clearing the Online round, there are usually 2–3 rounds of personal interviews. I had 2 rounds of interviews. The Questions asked for the interview round were majorly from Data Structures and Algorithms. Other than that there were questions on Embedded Processors and Computer Memory(basic questions).
He asked about timers, interrupts and some of the fundamental questions from Embedded System.
During the first round of interview, each of the students was given one hour to solve one coding question mentioning each step in detail. ( It was not like a regular question you would find on any coding platform.) That was done majorly to check the approach that the student has taken and also his/her grasp of coding.
In the second round of the interview, I was also asked to write a small code in embedded C.
Good knowledge of Algorithms and especially Data Structures is required. I would suggest studying from geeksforgeeks. Simultaneously one should practise from Interviewbit or similar coding platforms. A revision of the fundamentals of embedded processor is advised. However, the most important thing is to know each and every detail one has mentioned in his/her CV.
Bandwidth optimized Lens Distortion Correction Module.
The people at TI are really friendly and helpful. Emphasis is laid on teamwork. The employees mostly get to work on the end to end development of a product there. No restrictions on timings. There is a hub for extra-curricular activities called Texin. It has courts for badminton, volleyball, tennis, cricket etc. It also has gym, dance, music and yoga rooms and a lot more. Overall experience was really good.
People who really like coding should apply for it.
Do not target one specific company, instead target a profile which you like and prepare for it. You may have a dream company but a lot of factors play a role during the selection procedure. Prepare well but remember it is not the end of the world.

I am Subham Rajgaria, a fourth-year student of Computer Science Department, IIT Kharagpur. I am a boarder of Lal Bahadur Shastri Hall. This summer my internship was at Tower Research Capital, India.
The selection procedure had two stages, the first was a CV shortlisting and the next was a telephonic interview round. The interview round consisted of a thorough analysis of the resume, one coding question and one question which I had to discuss. The questions were not very tough and required more of theoretical knowledge than programming expertise.
Preparation does not involve anything different from preparation for other companies. Geeks for geeks, interview bit, probability and statistics and confidence in yourself. Also being thorough and honest about your resume/CV is very important.
My project involved working with open source code, deploying things on cloud, kubernetes, using serverless frameworks and also some boring ui creation. Most of my code was in python and I worked a lot with conda.
Just one word: Amazing!
You have flexible working hours, a lot of smart people to interact with and the best part is free food for all throughout the day.
The company has many divisions and I guess every computer science student can fit in some place or the other. So yeah everyone should try for it, there is a great learning opportunity here.
Prepare well, and know your concepts well. Knowing two or three programming languages well is a plus point and even if you don’t know an answer do not panic, rather be honest and you can even ask the answer for it if you can’t figure it out even after some time and they will be happy to answer it.

My name is Shashwat Mishra and I did my internship at VISA Inc. during my summers of 2018. VISA Inc. is a company specialized in providing a technological platform for digital payments and transactions. With very few competitors in the market and ever-expanding business opportunities, VISA is a company which you can trust to lead the payments, cybersecurity and AI domains selection procedure.
The selection procedure for the internship consists of 2 rounds:
i) Coding round: This round tests your knowledge on programming based questions on Algorithms and Data Structures. The topics generally include arrays, lists, trees, dynamic programming and backtracking.
ii) Telephonic Interview: Those qualified in the coding round get the opportunity to sit in the telephonic interview. The questions are based on projects and skills mentioned in your CV. Be clear on things that you know and that you don’t. A firm grip on Algorithms and Data Structures always helps as the questions usually pop up from these subjects.
You can get pretty good resources online for practising programming Algorithms and Data Structures. Few good links to follow are interviewbit.com, geeksforgeeks. Textbook references from Cormen are also good. Take time to prepare for them. Do prepare for a telephonic interview. A mock practice will work wonders if you are giving it for the first time.
I was the part of the Data Quality team of VISA which ensures that the data within our systems is perfect and up-to-date without any errors. As a part of my internship, I had to design an algorithm which can automatically provide an in-depth analysis of reasons for some problem/alert being generated by the systems. It was quite an interesting project and luckily it went for IP filing also, thanks to my teammates.
In a single word “Awesome”. It could be a biased opinion based on teams but overall the people are nice and hardworking. Timings are fixed from 9 am -5 pm, so you get sufficient time for yourself also. Special events keep on happening which provide extra-curricular opportunities for employees to be a part of. And for interns I would like to add one thing, you are surely going to enjoy the VISA’s “Global Intern Summit at San Francisco”.
People interested in learning the technologies being implemented in Payments’ processing domain should apply for this. Anyone looking for a balanced work-life balance is welcome. With extensive hiring plans in the next two years, if you produce good results, pre-placement offers are sure to come to you.
Be crisp and clear on your fundamentals, revise and practice before you go. And don’t be bothered with the stipend, it’s sufficient with the other facilities they provide you. And to say, at last, a very great and wonderful summer lies ahead of you. Best of luck to all sitting for their internships and placements!! Baaki sab “peace” hai☺

Hi! I am Rajat Goel, I did my Internship at ITC during the summers of 2019. ITC is one of India’s foremost private sector companies with a market capitalization of INR 3.74 trillion and a turnover of INR 550 billion. ITC is rated among the World’s Best Big Companies, Asia’s ‘Fab 50’ and the World’s Most Reputable Companies by Forbes magazine and among India’s Most Valuable Companies by Business Today. ITC has a diversified presence in FMCG, Hotels, Paperboards & Specialty Papers, Packaging, Agri-Business, and Information Technology.
For the students of top-notch colleges (IITs, IIMs etc.), a program names KITES is launched every year. The selection procedure of ITC is a bit comprehensive.
The answers to the fields asked in the internship application form should be honest. For Psychometric Test, the key is to read the questions carefully, you’ll find same questions asked in different manners multiple times just to check the mental stability of your mind. For the GD round, my advice is to search for a few case GD topics online and practice with your friends on the same. This will help a lot during the final GD. I firm grip on core subjects (the applicant should be ready with 2 strong subjects) and conceptual clarity is required. Knowledge about the accomplishments written in the internship form (like the past internship work, academic project) is must for the interviews.
I was working in the Agri-Business Division of ITC at Guntur, Andhra Pradesh where my major project was to Digitalise a Spice Processing Facility up to Industry 4.0 standards. This was a critical project as a capital expenditure of about 175 Cr INR was at stake. The project demanded thorough knowledge of Spice Processing as well Digitalisation Trends being adopted across industries so I planned and visited many ITC/non-ITC plants located in different parts of the country including Bangalore, Pune, Chirala etc. This was a really enriching experience and the best part is all your travel expenses are handled by ITC itself. I also contacted international vendors through video conferences for fixing deals and budget finalisation. For these jobs, I was working at the Agri-Business Division HQ at Guntur. Apart from this I was also assigned 2 minor projects related to facility’s construction phase.
The work culture at ITC is very professional. The corporate exposure that one gets at ITC is unmatchable in my opinion. People treat you equal to themselves and give importance to your ideas/inputs instead of treating you like some students who are still studying. Each and every project is very well thought upon. You are given a feeling of ownership towards the project which makes you more dedicated towards it. The thing that I liked the most at ITC was “Appreciation for Talent”, people acknowledge your efforts for any job which makes you feel motivated to deliver more. Apart from this with a brand name like ITC attached with you, international firms and organisations respect your designation which also adds to your corporate profile for any future endeavours. For future interns, you’ll enjoy a grand welcome party cum workshop during March/April for the Intern Summit at Bangalore in one of the finest Luxury-Collection Hotel of ITC (ITC Windsor).
In my opinion, someone who wants to experience corporate life to the fullest, learn how big organisations work should definitely seek for an internship. Someone who wants to utilise the opportunity instead of enjoying 2 months away from home should seek for the internship. Someone who not only wants to learn but also make an impact by his/her contribution should definitely seek for an internship.
When I got Guntur as my internship location, I was sad as it is not a very great city to chill out. But now I feel it does not matter at all; what matters at the end if the experience, knowledge and exposure that you take from the internship. Also, students focus on the high stipend that ITC pays; it is to be understood that if such a high amount is being paid the same amount of efforts should be visible from your side. Even if you contribute a little, they’ll acknowledge your efforts and surely will offer you a PPO. Last thing, Keep Calm, SAB PEACE HOGA. Day-1/Day-10 kuch fark nahi padta. BE MOTIVATED!!

Being a student of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering Department, I had a very few options in core. This was known to me almost since my first year, thus I decided to go for non-core from the beginning. I would suggest each one of you know about the scope and opportunities in your department before deciding which profile to choose. During one of my internships, I was able toexplore the field Data Analytics and from there I decided to continue in the same.
Students from all the departments are eligible to apply. There was no CGPA cutoff.
Online Test: An online test with 20 MCQ questions is conducted once you apply. The test was quite easy. It consisted of questions on basic probability, mathematical aptitude, verbal and non-verbal reasoning and data interpretation. Make sure that you don’t commit silly mistakes. Around 10 people were shortlisted for the next round.Technical Round: It started with a generic question, “Tell me about yourself”. The discussion started with my previous internship at HDFC Bank, Mumbai. Then, the discussion revolved around the Boosting Algorithms. Among other people who were shortlisted, some were given questions related to guesstimates andprobability to solve along with some puzzles.Technical Round + HR:This round again began with my introduction and a brief explanation about my previous projects. Since AmEx and HDFC Bank deal in credit card, a major part of this round involved discussing my work at HDFC Bank. I was asked about some suggestion/new ideas as to how the data AmEx currently has can be used. Then, we moved towards my work at EY. Here, I had directly used thefuzzy-wuzzy library. So, I was asked to give the logic for building it from scratch. Then came the question, “Why should we hire you?” and “Why Amex?”. Be prepared for these questions.
Be thorough with your CV. Don’t write a description about your internships that you can’t explain. 2. Be prepared for questions like strengths, weakness, why should we hire you? etc. Think about these questions properly and tell them about actually why they should take you and what sets you apart. The interviewer has been in tons of interviews and will easily catch the generic answers.3. Keep practising aptitude questions and puzzles online on websites like IndiaBix. Also, brush up your concepts related to Probability. 4. Be comfortable with at least one programming language preferably Python.5. Know about the company before walking into the interview.
Every intern was allowed a different project to work on. Each one of us had a mentor to guide us as the project proceeded. I was part of the International Line Modelling team. My team worked on delivering the models that would help the company decide which customer should be allotted what credit limit on the credit card. My project was an exploratory one wherein we were developing a dynamic model that would take personalized parameters and weights for each customer. I had to build this model for the US market. Thus, the person to whom my manager reported was in New York and we would discuss the progress of my project usually through Skype. I was solely working on this project under guidance from my mentor. I had written all the codes in Python which were completely automatic. But, most of my co-interns worked on SAS.
Most of the interns, including me, were in allocated the Gurgaon office while a few got the Bangalore one. The Gurgaon office seats over 6000 employees distributed across the 3 major divisions — Enterprise and Digital Analytics (EDA), Credit and Fraud Risk (CFR) and Technology. I was a part of the International Line Modelling Team from CFR with my job title as Credit and Risk Decision Science Intern. My office was in One Horizon Center building. The workspace is amazing and has been laid out quite creatively. All the interns were taken out for the fun event at Canvas Laugh Club so that we get to know each other. The company provides you with accommodation for 1 week and bears your travel expenses at the beginning and end of the internship. Also, the company provides transportation everyday anywhere in Delhi NCR region. The number of working days was 5 with timings being specific for a particular team. Team specific fun events and offsite trips to nearby locations happen once a year.
The best thing about AmEx has to be the people there. On the first day itself, we got to interact with the senior leaders of the company, who were really welcoming. The Director and the VP of my team got really involved in the work I was doing and we used to have regular brain-storming sessions. Also,the team members really looked out for each other and were quite helpful. I had a great time discussing everything and anything over lunch with my team. The HR people also made some efforts to arrange sessions with top executives from India and the US offices.
My manager/mentor leveraged the comfort that I had with Python or else it would have taken me some time to get comfortable with SAS. My inputs were always considered even though due the time crunch everything could not be implemented. My teammates would always be ready to give me fundas be it related to my project, career or any other thing. My mentor would always motivate me and guide me as to how to look towards the problem statement with a more analytical view. I have learnt innumerable things throughout this internship and listing all of them in one blog is just not possible.In the end, I am glad that I was able to contribute to the project. The most important thing that I have learnt is that whatever you do, give it your best shot. Try to pitch in new ideas/methods for your project and interact with the people as much as possible. They are obviously more experienced and it’ll definitely develop your social skills. Look at this internship as a golden opportunity and make the most of it in every way possible

My name is Shweta Jaiswal and I am pursuing B.Tech in Instrumentation Engineering from the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. I interned during Summers of 2019 at Credit Suisse India Pvt. Ltd. which is a leading multinational investment bank and financial services company, advising clients in all aspects of finance across the globe. I worked in Global Markets(GM) IT division of the APAC(Asia-Pacific). The internship was 9 weeks long and started in the mid of May on 13th May.
Credit Suisse is open for students of all the departments. It comes to hire for 3 different positions:1. Technology Intern2. Risk Management Analyst3. Finance Liquidity Risk AnalystIt came on DAY 2 for us but before that, it came in late October. As far as I remember, a single candidate can apply for only one of the positions and all the exams for these positions are conducted separately. I was the Technology Intern so I will discuss the same. To qualify for the interview, you need to clear the coding exam. The test consists of two parts:1. 25 MCQs- These questions are based on DS and Algo.2. 5 Coding Questions- 2 of 100 marks each and 3 of 200 marks each.The interview consists of 3 rounds:1. Coding round: DS and Algo2. CV round: Details of your internships and projects on the CV3. HR round: Basic stuff regarding your future goals (want to do a job or go for higher studies)
For the written test first, GeeksforGeeks for practising different algorithms and data structures, InterviewBit for coding practice. Doing these two things are more than enough. If you are good enough at coding there is no need to prepare for MCQ separately, it has general questions related to DS and Algo. For interview:Coding Round: Be thorough with different Algos and also have proficient knowledge about the language which you use for coding, about the STL libraries (for C++).
CV Round: Go through the projects thoroughly and make sure you are able to empathize with the interviewer and make him understand the projects from his perspective.HR Round: Just be clear with your future goals. There is no point in lying just tell frankly what you want to do with your life.
My project was designing a health monitoring system for Apache Kafka. Being a bank, they didn’t want to use any 3rd party APIs so I had to build everything from scratch. I had to configure Kafka and then build the utility in JAVA8 which was integrated into their pipeline of the trade reporting engine for Europe. My util generated and sent the status of different components of Kafka and also generated alerts in case of failure. Everyone was assigned adifferent kind of project and everyone had to work solely on that project.
The environment here is quite chill and friendly. There are no time restrictions (come and go whenever comfortable depends on the timing in which zone you are working), the dress code is semi-formal or smart casuals. People are very easily approachable here, one can freely talk to any person at any position without any hesitation. They have a smart working environment where you can sit anywhere in office and work, there is no fixed seating areafor a person (you get smart cards for VMs which can be inserted in any keyboard). All in all, you grow here in a team, working together with different people at different locations. You get many treats and outings (depends solely on your team). People are very humble and generous, not only about the work but they will also guide you about the city, areas to visit and places suitable for your stay. They also have different coding competitions organized where they provide many goodies and also they organize many recreational activities. The workload is very minimal and you have enough time in hand to explore other lots of stuff.
All the technology enthusiasts/ coding geeks/ finance loving people can apply. People who love finance but want to explore the technology perspective of it are the most suitable ones.
Credit Suisse is majorly a multinational investment banking and financial service company. Someone might think that work here majorly is related to finance and in future, if you land at Credit Suisse, your field completely becomes finance-oriented. However, this is not completely true. But to understand the background of the work you are doing, you need tounderstand the finance behind the technological requirements, thus with time, you tend to develop more knowledge in finance. So yeah, you might get deeper into finance, but you won’t get your hands off the technological work you do. If you join Credit Suisse, they have a special two-year program where you get to choose a different project in a different team of your interest after a year. The workload is very minimal for these two years, so people get alot of time to prepare for their masters as well.
Also, it’s important to keep in mind that not everyone gets the same experience at any place. What you take out of this journey definitely depends on the firm, the team you are working in and also on you, how well you adapt yourself to a corporate environment, and how well you are able to interact and mix up with everyone around you.I would say that try to get the best out of whatever is present, learn from people around you. Don’t lose hope, if something doesn’t turn out to be the way you wanted, there is something much better ahead, just be “PATIENT”.

I have interned at Deutsche Bank Center(DBC), Goregaon East, Mumbai after my fourth year. I am a student of Industrial and Systems Engineering department enrolled in its dual degree course with M.Tech. in Financial Engineering. I am a boarder of Patel Hall of Residence.My previous internships include research internship at Indian School of Business, Hyderabad in the field of Quantitative Finance and served as a research affiliate at the University of Huddersfield, England in Supply Chain Management with Financial risk measures.
It has 2 stages. First, the online test which includes questions from data interpretation and verbal reasoning. Shortlist depends upon the performance in the online test as well as CV. The second stage has Personal Interviews. I had appeared for 5 different rounds with different panels. First 2 were for checking Quantitative Aptitude followed by 1 round on CV. One with HR and finally with the Director.
You can prepare for Quantitative Attitude from the book named “Heard on the Street”. In Finance, basic topics like Capital Market, Money Market, basic financial instruments and their derivatives, and Risk measures can be covered. Probability and Statistics in Engineering by Williams W. Hines is a good source for the foundation of Probability and Statistics.
I have worked with Quantitative Investment Solutions(QIS) team at DBC. My project was based on the interest rates market and the forex market. I have studied the research and backtested 2 different strategies to form portfolios for investors like pension funds and asset managers. I was supporting theLondon desk of the QIS business. I was constantly in touch with my onshore team for my project discussion. Along with my project, I was involved in helping the team members in their day to day activities like calculating risk/return attribution and generating market data. I have also worked onautomating the return attribution to reduce the time(cost) and increase efficiency. Majorly my work was on python and a little bit on MS excel.
DB offers a very structured internship in the field of Investment Banking. We were allotted a Project Guide, a Mentor, and a buddy for project work guidance. They were easily available on the floor which helped me a lot to solve my problems at the earliest. There were various information sessions by the top management for the interns in which they used to discuss their involvement, their desk works, and the future opportunities. They could also explain to us some basics on financial markets. On top of all these, DBC has almost all businesses that Deutsche Bank offers. The best thing about interning at DBC is the opportunity to interact with people from all of these businesses. It is very important to get to know about all of it before you select your profile/job.
Anyone who wants to give Investment Banking a try. This internship does not require any prior knowledge in Finance. But having it definitely helps a lot during the internship.
Start preparing hard on the topics mentioned. Be aware of the recent news in this field. If you claim it, they gonna ask you in the interview.

Hello everyone, I am Aditi Kambli, a Final Year Financial Engineering student from the Department of Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture. I interned with Deutsche Bank Global Markets during summer 2019. I was working with the Rates Index Desk under FIC in DB CIB.
The selection procedure had an initial CV shortlisting and online test. Around 50 students were shortlisted by this process. After this, I had 4 rounds of interview. The first two rounds were technical where they tested my logical and quantitative skills and also grilled me on my CV. The third round waswith the senior management, where they mainly tested my confidence and my vision about my future goals. The final round was with the HR, where they again tested my soft skills and checked if I can fit well in the DB system.
One can prepare for the quant from books like Heard on the street and 50 challenging questions in probability. Also one needs to prepare well on any finance-related project they have undertaken in the past. One must also be very thorough with their CV.
I mainly worked on a Credit single name momentum Index which is essentially a first of its kind investment strategy in the institution. I also worked on automation of existing strategies and implemented few tools on python which increased the efficiency of work for the desk. I worked in the rates, credit and FX domains.
The flat hierarchy in DB allows the interns to not only interact with analysts and associates but also with the senior management. The culture is very accommodating and everyone is very approachable and eager to help in case of any problem.
The best part of the selection process is that DB doesn’t require a candidate to have any prior knowledge in finance. They look for excellence in anything that we have done in our past. This allows everyone an equal chance to apply for the internship.
My only advice will be to be confident and believe in what you have done until now. The most important thing is that you should be able to justify what you have done till now and you should have a valid reason of why you want to join the company and how you can prove to be an asset for them.

My name is Indresh, a Fifth Year from the Department of Biotechnology and I just completed an internship at Deutsche Bank arranged by the CDC Internship Placement Drive.
The DB selection procedure is fairly straightforward. It consists of 4–5 rounds of panel interviews following a CV shortlist procedure, apart from a simple test process. The test itself is pretty simple with Quantitative Reasoning and English sections. Once the CV is shortlisted, the interviews take place along with the other companies and take up to 3 hours to get through.
Firstly, ONE DOES NOT NEED A FINANCE BACKGROUND TO SECURE AN INTERNSHIP AT DB. This is the most important point to be kept in mind. They just see how well you have done whatever you put on your CV and how they feel you would fit into their work environment. While this sort of decision is subjective at best, it allows you to be yourself through the interview process. At the same time, some proficiency in Probability, Statistics and basic Quant ability is expected of the candidate (an entire round is usually dedicated to this aspect). In short, be confident of what you have done and you should do fairly well in the DB selection process.
I worked on FX Hedging Methodologies while at DB. I am, however, unable to disclose more about the same.
The Desk that I worked with was Fixed Income and Currencies: APAC Region, which consists of people from various backgrounds who do a variety of work, which makes it an excellent learning opportunity for someone who’s just delving into the world of finance. They are a really fun, yet at the same time, an insightful bunch with whom I spent a really great 2 months. There’s a pretty good work-life balance which allows you to enjoy not just the internship but the city of Mumbai as well so that’s a plus.
I feel everyone should apply for this Company because there is no right or wrong “profile”, per say. If you be draft your CV well enough, you should get good shortlists, although that is subjective and the only thing that may stop you short. However, upon making it to the interview rounds, as long as you’re candid with them about your expectations from the internship, there isn’t much that should stop you from making it.
I don’t have any DB-specific advice, to be honest. However, to everyone sitting for an internship, be it their third or fourth year, I strongly recommend you to try out a new field; something you haven’t done in the past. College is the only time you get to explore and I hope you make the best of it.Best of luck and cheers!

My name is G.Vishal. I am a 4th-year student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. I interned at Goldman Sachs in the Risk division this summer.
First, there was a written test consisting of some basic programming questions and some objective type questions on Prob. Stats. and basic CS. It was followed by 4 rounds of interviews, which was based on Probability and Stats. and some puzzles. I didn’t have any programming interviews as such.
I think one can do well in the interview with some revision of the basics of Probability Statistics and having some practice on the same topic.Doing some Coding practice would also help a lot, in general. Geeks for Geeks is a good resource for both in my opinion.
My project consisted of creating a new benchmarking model for the existing CVA(credit valuation) calculation system using Neural Networks. It consisted of a lot of math and also needed programming skills. I liked my project because, instead of working on some dummy project, I got to work on a project which I personally felt had a lot of scope for impact.
The most amazing thing about the company is its culture. The people are really amazing, they are very approachable and friendly as well. I always felt very comfortable with them.GS has a very flat culture, which I felt was really impressive.
People who like math, quant and want to have an idea of the financial services sector should definitely apply for this internship, as it was surely a very good learning experience for me.
I don’t think I am qualified enough to dole out advice in general :), but one thing I would like to say is that believing in oneself really helps a lot.

My name is Amandeep Singh. I am a third year undergraduate student from the department of Mechanical Engineering enrolled in its 4 year BTech course of manufacturing science and engineering. I did my internship at Nomura Structured Financial Services in the Global Markets division in the summer of 2019.
The process begins by applying to Nomura with one of your 3 CVs made on the CDC website. There is no hard cutoff on the basis of CG but it pays to be above 8. After you are selected on the basis of your CV, you have to appear for a GD. The topics of the GD can be anything ranging from abstract analogies for the professional world to contemporary issues. Post the GDs, there are 2 technical interviews followed by an HR interview.
During the technical interviews, it does pay to have some basic knowledge of financial securities, however, there is no hard and fast rule. The best thing would be to back up your CV such that you can explain the learnings from virtually every experience written on your CV. It’s also beneficial to have a decent idea about guesstimates and brain teasers. “Heard on the street” is a good book to prepare for the same.
Apart from a lot of ad hoc and BAU work, my main project was creating a tool that could calculate Initial Margin requirements for derivative transactions underlying Bespoke CSAIDs both using SIMM and Schedule IM models. The work mostly revolved around excel and also some VBA so it does help a lot to have some decent understanding of Excel beforehand.
The company culture is pretty chilled out where everyone from the analyst sitting beside you to an MD overseas lend an ear to help you with your work. You are expected to dress in formals as they have a pretty strict dress code. The best part, however, is that the timings are flexible as long as you complete the work assigned to you. The amiability and approachability of senior management is a great motivator and weekends are usually as awesome as you can imagine. Overall, the culture is amazing.
This internship is perfect for anyone looking to get an idea of how the finance industry operates irrespective of whether you have any prior knowledge or experience in finance. The company provides a plethora of reading material to learn on your own pace once selected and you even learn on the job hence that is not an issue. Someone who already is interested in finance shoulddefinitely apply because the practical knowledge that you’d gain is in no way achieved with any course, certification you may have already done.
Stay calm during the technical rounds. The aim of the interviewers is in no way to intimidate or grill you. The more interested you can keep them and steer the interview into a conversation, the better your chances. Stay to the point during explaining your past experiences and try to weave your CV into a story wherein you show how an internship or a project reinforced your belief about joining the industry. Most importantly, just try and smile. It does wonders!

Hi! My name is Pallav Bhutani. I am a final year undergraduate student of the department of Chemical Engineering (enrolled in its dual degree course :P). I had the chance to work in Nomura’s Global markets division during these summers. Global Markets is the ‘trading side’ of Nomura. Powai office is integrated with various trading desks most importantly Asia except Japan(AeJ) and Europe.
It’s a two-day selection process. There’s a GD for the shortlisted students on Day 0. The topics are very basic, mine was on the lines of “What should corporates learn from the sport of Cricket?”. The screening is not very tough, although not to be taken lightly. Followed by the GD, the shortlisted students are called for the interview rounds on Day 1. There are a couple of rounds and sometimes an additional HR round.The interviews are ‘simple’ but don’t confuse it with ‘easy’. It is an interviewee led the interview, you will have the chance to shape your interview the way you like. There are two interviews like this. They might also ask a guesstimate in one of the rounds. So you have to know what a guesstimate is beforehand. Major focus will be given to CV grilling, majorly on your past internships and projects. There is an HR round at the end which consists of basic questions tocheck whether the thought process of the candidate matches with that of the company.
For the group discussion, all you can do is form groups ideally a week before Day 1 and practice them, take feedback from the groupmates, work on it a practice again. Other companies that have a GD are ITC & HUL.For the interviews, as already mentioned above, it an interviewee led interview. The interviewers want to see your strong points and the understanding you have of the same. So if you try to impress them by your background in finance, make sure you can answer any question they throw at you (Not having a finance background helped in my case :P). They can pick up any word you have mentioned in your CV and have a 10 min discussion on it. Be clear on why you want to do finance and why Nomura is the perfect match for you. For guesstimates, you can see a couple of videos on Youtube. No need to practice for weeks but have an understanding of what it is.
Nomura’s internship program is very well structured and a lot of importance is given to the interns there (owing to the fact that they hire recent graduates only from this program). The 2-month internship is equally divided into two teams. The work might vary from team to team. There is no single project, interns have the chance to work on multiple projects.I had the privilege to work in ‘Equity Linked Strategies’ where my work was to make multiple analysis tools related to finding outliers in various equities, convertible bonds and options. One model I made was related to delta hedging of convertible bonds and various strategies that can be used for the same. One other project was related to portfolio screening and backtesting.Both the projects were in sync with the traders in HK/Europe.In my next month, I worked in ‘Asset-Backed Securities’ strategy team. One interesting fact about the team is that it was Lehman Brothers’ ABS team before Nomura (Watch Big Short if you can’t relate). My work in ABS was to construct a screening model to find outlier ABS deals that have the possibility for rating up-gradation/degradation.Nomura also added a sideline competition for the interns which we took very seriously. The aim was to invest 1Million USD in various indices (S&P 500, Shanghai Composite etc), safe havens, crude oil etc and get the most returns at the end of the intern. As a matter of fact, our final presentation was 90% on this competition. We worked on this on weekends and absolutely loved it.
Nomura is a Japanese bank and you can see the Japanese culture in the way work is carried out. Nomura is a very respected investment bank that takes a lot of pride in its employees. Nomura gives a lot of power to its employees, the learning curve is very steep. A lot of focus is given to the interns. There will be multiple networking lunches and high teas with the leadership team of Nomura which consists of all EDs and MDs. The exposure an intern at Nomura gets is immense. The culture is to meet as many people as you can on the floor. You are considered as an employee during your internship, I was on a call with a trader. It will not be unusual to be on a call with a client if your team does that.
Anyone and everyone. It is a misconception that Nomura hires only CFAs/FRMs or for that matter people with a background in finance. I had absolutely no exposure in finance. I clearly mentioned it in the interview. They understood and asked me on the work I have done in campus. They do not need finance guys. They need smart people that can be given responsibility. Finance you can learn, the person you are you cannot change. Finance is no rocket science and internships are for learning, Nomura understands that. So make use of this learning opportunity and start preparing for the process with grit.
Be clear in what you want to do. The last thing an interviewer wants to see is a person in two minds. Have a clear understanding of why you want to do finance if you don’t have previous experience in finance. Be confident in the work you have done on campus and know everything about your past work experience. Be completely honest with the interviewers, no need to overexaggerate at any point. But definitely, know about the happenings in the finance world like US-China trade war, US- Iran tensions, Fed rate cuts etc, this will give added talking points.

My name is Spandan Kumar Sahu, fifth year, dual degree student from Computer Science and Engineering Department. I did my internship at Tower Research Capital, Gurgaon, in summers 2019. Prior to that I had completed GSoC in summers 2017, and went for an internship at ITRI Taiwan in summers 2018.
The selection procedure is a resume review, followed by rounds of telephonic interview. The whole process is handled by CDC; interview takes place in CDC office and the resumes are directly forwarded by CDC.
The general process to prepare for a Tower interview is to be spotless in your concepts of Algorithms, Operating Systems, Networks and other core courses. Revision from GeeksForGeeks and InterviewBit helps.
I can't reveal most details of my project, owing to a non-disclosure agreement, but it was a project on benchmarking, alerting and monitoring Ceph, a distributed data storage system.
The company culture is great, with relaxed work timings and a lively office. People there are pretty knowledgeable as almost everyone is a topper of sorts of their respective colleges. They expect you to know your subjects thoroughly, but they will help you out, once you exhaust all your ideas.
Tower is pretty exclusive when it comes to interns selection from KGP. It almost always sticks to CS majors with CG in the upwards of 9.5. Either that, or you have to be good at something very specific they are looking at. From my understanding, they are currently looking for UI/UX developers, competitive programmers and people with experience in cloud computing.
Tower isn't a traditional software company and is a relatively small team for the variety of domains they play in. So be prepared to face a wider variety of challenges, and learn to have fun solving them:)

I am Anmol Joshi, a final year student of Chemical Engineering department and a boarder of MS Hall. I interned at Dr. Reddy’s laboratories at the end of my third year and got a pre-placement offer.
The selection process of Dr. Reddy’s consists of 4 rounds. First off, there is a CV shortlisting, which is followed by a test. Almost all the students go-ahead for the GD round next, and finally, an interview consisting of a mix of technical and HR questions takes place.
In general, almost everyone applying for the internship is shortlisted for the GD round irrespective of CV and how well they fared in the test.
The test consists of questions from chemistry and core chemical engineering questions (for CH students), along with sections of psychometric and reasoning based questions.
The third round, which is the GD round, is where the major elimination begins and that is where your core chemical engineering knowledge comes into play. It is important to have your basic concepts involving heat, mass and momentum transfer sound, along with the ability to explain where a particular concept fits right.
The final interview is where you are mostly grilled on your CV, so it is important to be prepared on whatever you include in it.
Projects at Dr. Reddy’s can be allotted in R&D, manufacturing or any other department based on the company’s requirements. I was allotted a project on the analysis of scale-up for the production of a pharmaceutical drug intermediate.
A remote internship does have its own shortcomings, in terms of the fact that you feel isolated at times and might not be able to touch base with your project mentor for as long as a week. It is therefore imperative upon you to connect with your mentor and let him be known of the developments at regular intervals. My project seemed a bit boring at times as I could not get the direct exposure of what goes on at the manufacturing facility during drug production at a large scale.
An online GD is certainly not the best option for shortlisting students for the final interview process, so it is possible that a company like Dr. Reddy’s might just put out a case for the applicants involving a technical issue that the company faces or one that could help increase the efficiency of a processor device. However, tests and interviews could just remain as they are.
Anyone who is interested in core, and has followed whatever has been taught in the second and third year as a part of the chemical engineering curriculum.
First of all, be absolutely sure that you have a genuine interest in core, irrespective of your CGPA. If you get your concepts clear and more importantly be able to explain them, securing a core chemical engineering internship should be a cakewalk. Also, be thorough on whatever you have mentioned on your CV, because a lot of companies ask you to go through it.

My name is Tanmay Das and I am pursuing B.Tech in Instrumentation Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. I did my summer internship at Mathworks (Hyderabad Campus). Mathworks is basically a product-based multinational company whose major product is MATLAB. The internship was for 2 months and I worked under Hardware-Software Codesign team on HDL Coder toolbox of MATLAB.
Last year, Mathworks was open for all departments. There were two rounds for selections. First was the coding round where questions related to programming were asked. There were MCQ as well as coding questions. 12 people were shortlisted in the first round. The second round was a Video Call interview. The interviewer asked a few questions on CV and then provided a hackerrank interactive platform where I was asked to write and run certain codes. Then I was asked a few questions on C++ STL library and whether I want to go for higher studies or not. Out of 12, 5 were selected for the internship and three of us chose Hyderabad campus.
For the coding round, one should have proper knowledge of data structures and time complexity of different algorithms(like sorting, searching etc). One can study all the relevant theories from GeeksforGeeks. Everything is pretty well explained there. For practice, one can refer to InterviewBit or Leetcode. One needs to understand that there is cut-throat competition in all the online tests so cutoffs are generally quite high and one needs to solve most of the questions in order to qualify to the next round. In such a situation speed really matters along with problem-solving skills.
As I mentioned above, I worked under the Hardware Software codesign team. My work was to build a feature in HDL Workflow Advisor of HDL Coder toolbox. It may sound like some hardware stuff but the work was completely on software development. All the basic knowledge related to hardware was quite easy to understand and was learnt parallelly during the course of my project. I did not have any prior knowledge of the toolbox I was working on and had the least experience of working in MATLAB but I did not face any difficulty. Mathworks provides lots of online training to all its new joinees so that no faces any problem while onboarding.
My experience was quite good. Mathworks organised a smooth onboarding process. They allocated me a buddy who helped me with setting up a remote PC in my laptop and explained to me the basic rules and terminologies at Mathworks. The working hours were completely flexible and it all depended on the timing of the meetings. All the meetings were organised in Microsoft Teams. The project was also nice and did not involve any compromise because of pandemic. Everything was well-managed and according to the schedule. Apart from working on the project, we had one complete day called Bash Day when we were given a chance to explore all the features of the latest version of MATLAB that is yet to be released. Also, two days were reserved for MATLAB Answers where we interacted with MATLAB customers to know more about their interests.
Mathworks is still hiring students for their internship program. However, it may happen that they take less number of people as compared to last year. But this is just an assumption from my end. I do not have any clear idea of how many interns they are willing to hire this year.
Mathworks works on a variety of fields. There are a huge number of toolboxes present in MATLAB. Anyone who is interested in any of hardware, software, image processing, computer vision, deep learning can consider Mathworks for an internship.
To the Mathworks internship aspirants:
The selections are purely based on coding skills and do not involve any other knowledge. The questions are not that tough. Be confident and fluent during the interview. The people who are willing to go for higher studies in future are generally not preferred by interviewers because they invest a lot of resources and time during the internship and won’t like someone to quit the company after the internship or after working for one or two years.
To the people who get selected:
There is a lot of scope to learn at Mathworks. They have a separate portal which consists of all kinds of interactive online training that you need to know. At first, one joins the Engineering Development Group Department in Mathworks where the basic aim is to groom the individual so that he/she can explore all the options, know more about the company and then finally settle into one of key areas at Mathworks. There are a lot of career options open for the future within Mathworks. The amount of career growth will be huge. Regarding the evaluation for PPO, apart from work on the project, one is also evaluated on the basis of soft skills such as communication skills, presentation skills, leadership skills, ability to take initiative, time management, willingness to participate etc. So make sure you pay attention to these things too.
At last, to all the internship aspirants, I would say, be calm and patient. There will be times when things will not happen according to your plan even if you are putting a lot of efforts but everything will fall into place as the time will pass. Never lose hope and keep doing hard work. Try to learn as much as you can. It will help you grow as an individual.
All the best,
Tanmay Das

Hello, I am Shalina Kumari, a final year undergraduate student from the Department of Physics enrolled in its integrated M.Sc. course. I interned at ZestMoney — a lending Fintech company, during summer 2020 as a part of its Product Management team. ZestMoney uses Mobile Technology, Digital Banking, and AI to provide the fastest way to pay using EMI even if you do not have a credit card.
The selection procedure includes CV shortlisting, online test, and interview. The online test was to make a blueprint focusing on the feasibility and implementation of a real-case scenario. 10 students were selected for the final PI round. It was a telephonic interview, where they first focussed on CV and then questioned the feasibility and implementation part from the blueprint.
For the online test, you can prepare case studies. I have studied some cases before but I mostly applied the knowledge from the course “Product Development” I had that semester. For the interview round, be thorough with your CV and solve puzzles from online sites like geeksforgeeks. Prepare Quant and Guesstimates from books or any online source. If you havetime, you can revise your case studies and the online test questions too.
I have analyzed the problems faced by current users using user research and proposed ideas to improve user feedback in the form of Product Requirements Document (PRD). I have used the Agile methodology to develop and execute the detailed version of product roadmaps to create a better ecosystem for merchants and researched user stories to prioritise features using Story Mapping techniques.
I had an amazing experience working with ZestMoney even from home. Mentors were quite encouraging and friendly. At a certain point, I faced some issues regarding the internet, and since I was on Campus, I had to travel back home but they were quite supportive and even recorded the session for me. They also conducted fun activities which I enjoyed a lot. The experience was totally invaluable.
COVID has already affected quite a few Internships and placements. Students would have to compete more to get certain positions in the internship. Make your mindsets already to work for experience and gaining knowledge. I would suggest students to not panic and support each other during these hard times.
ZestMoney doesn’t require a candidate to have prior knowledge in finance or product management. They see your interests but it really helps if you have already got some knowledge or experience. If you want to apply for this particular company, then prepare case studies and guesstimates a month prior and you can also take some subjects related to product or finance.
My advice to the upcoming batch would be to have confidence and believe in yourself. Apply for each and every company and go give tests for each of them too, especially when you don’t know which one is best for you! It’s all a part of learning and getting experience.

My name is Aditi Singhania, and I am a final year undergraduate student from the Department of electrical engineering. In the 2020 CDC internship drive, I received a Research Internship in Adobe Big Data Lab for nearly 13 weeks.
Selection Procedure :
The selection was divided into two steps :
a. Written Test: Medium level Questions on Data Structure And Algorithm, Probability and Statistics, Some direct questions from 50 challenges in Probability and few other basic questions on OOPS, DBMS
b.Interview Round: Selected students had to further appear for a 1-hour long interview round where detailed discussions on projects mentioned in the resume were discussed. The exact working of some machine learning and deep learning algorithms were asked.
For me specifically, many questions were related to the language model (maybe because most of my work till then was on NLP). Also, 2 basic level questions from array and time complexity optimization were asked. This was the final round.
c.Practicing questions from Interview bit, geeks for geeks,50 challenges in probability would suffice. For revising data science concepts towards data science.com, machine learning mastery, Datacamp, and Udemy have many resources.
Your Project Details :
Improve Digital Marketing Workflow using Topological Data Analysis. During the beginning of my project, we were given only the term Topological Data Analysis. From building the problem statement to the solution, all were based on interns’ thought processes and decisions.
How was your experience working from home?
I would not like to term it tricky because Adobe ensured that we have the best experience ever in the online version, but brainstorming ideas and discussion on the whiteboard would have been better than using a virtual Microsoft whiteboard.
What effect could Covid have in the upcoming internship process?
As the internship process has already started and I see the same company and profiles coming for the CDC internship last year, I don’t know the effect of covid there but the number of interns selected and PPO offered might be reduced due to covid for some companies.
According to you, who should ideally apply for this internship?
Anyone who has a keen interest in machine learning and deep learning and wants to innovate something in this field must apply for the internship.
What advice will you give to them?
For an interview, be very thorough with Machine Learning and Deep Learning Algorithms, Optimization Algorithms, Evaluation metrics. In general, I would advise everyone to be patient as this entire process of securing an internship can be overwhelming at times. Maybe you don’t guarantee training in Day1/Day2 or the company you desire, but don’t let this stop you from giving your best. Eventually, things will fall in place.

I am Soumitra Das, currently a final(4th) year student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. I completed my internship(SDE role) at Amazon Development Centre, Bangalore, this summer.
I applied for Software Development and Analyst role both. The Selection procedure includes shortlisting( for some companies), then a screening test followed by an interview.
All the companies ask coding questions in the screening test. In addition, for analyst profile questions from Mathematics(probability and algebra), Machine Learning, Logical Ability, Data Interpretation, and Comprehensive English were asked. Particularly to say about Amazon, it was open to circuital branch, and the screening test consisted of 4 sections -
a. Code Debug (20 minutes) — Finding bugs in 7 pieces of code.
b. Coding test (70 minutes) — Solving 2 problems.
c. Work Styles Assessment (10–15 minutes) — In this section, you will be asked to choose to what extent a provided statement represents your work style.
d. Logical Ability(35 minutes) — You will be asked a series of problem-solving MCQs.
Amazon shortlisted 34 for an interview.
I was shortlisted for Honeywell(Software research) and Oracle(SDE). At Honeywell, the interviewer told me to introduce myself at first. Then he asked about my project and a few questions — 1 probability( rolling the bullet), 2 puzzles( 3 switches and 3 bulbs, Mislabelled 3 baskets), and 2 coding problems( 1 from DP). The interview went well but I did not get any call for the HR round. In Oracle, I was asked questions from LinkedList, but the interview was not satisfactory.
On Day3 though I was shortlisted for Amazon, WellsFargo, MasterCard, and Huawei, I sat for the first 3. The day started with the interview in Wells Fargo. The interviewer asked about my project and then asked if I am comfortable with Computer Networks and Operating systems. I replied the subjects would be taught in the 6th semester. Then he moved to the coding questions. A couple of hours later, my turn came for the interview in Amazon. I was asked to introduce myself. He asked a bit about my project and then moved to the code part. I was asked a question based on graph and search. I first came up with a naive solution and told it. He then asked me to optimize it in terms of time and memory. I took the help of Map container and told the approach to the interviewer. He seemed to be not satisfied with the solution at first from a complexity point. I then told him the complexity analysis. After that, he told me to write the code in the editor(syntactically correct). Finally, I was told if I had any questions about Amazon on which I asked about the work culture and the kind of work that is done there. As soon as I completed my Amazon interview I sat for MasterCard. The initial part of the conversation was almost the same as other companies. Then I was asked some questions (1 from DP) and I had to write the code of the DP. The interview for MasterCard went well.
Just after the interview with MasterCard, I got confirmation of my selection by Amazon.No further round was there. Amazon is a big company and due to the quality of work there I immediately accepted the offer.
Algo — This first thing that is needed is — be thorough with the concepts of Algorithm (especially Linked List, Graph and Search, Tree, Dynamic Programming, and DP).
I had algorithms in my 3rd semester as a core subject. In the winter after the 3rd semester, I practiced some DP questions from geeks for geeks. When the lockdown started in March 2020 I started with InterviewBit topic-wise and took the help of the solution there when I got stuck. In May I postponed InterviewBit and revised the concepts of the algorithm from Cormen. Then as the day of screening tests got closer I again started doing random questions from important topics in InterviewBit. Before interview days I read some company-specific blogs of interviews from geeks for geeks and looked through company-specific questions accordingly.
To practice some mixed bag of questions, leetcode is also a good platform I think.
Puzzles — For puzzles, questions can be practiced from geeks for geeks, interview bit, and leetcode as well.
For the Analyst role especially — You should be handy with ML concepts along with the mathematical proofs and Matrix algebra, Probability and Statistics, and Algebra(Quadratic Equation-JEE standard) as well. You can follow these for probability — https://brainstellar.com/, 50 Challenging problems.
Project Details :
I was working in the payment team of Amazon. My project includes designing and developing an API and integrating it with another API. I had to test the API functionality and the integration as well. Though I can’t share the exact details about the project I worked in JAVA along with some frameworks.
The languages and the frameworks which are to be used are project and company dependant but you should be familiar with OOP concepts and any previous experience in developing software will help you.
Work from home was definitely challenging. I missed the opportunity to interact with my teammates and my fellow interns in person.
But the company tried to make the internship hassle-free and interactive as much as possible. They organized a smooth virtual onboarding session and I was provided with IT equipment. I was assigned a manager and a mentor with whom I had regular meetings on weekly basis. I also got the chance to be present in the team meetings. The team was really helpful. I could approach any team member anytime to solve doubts. Meeting with the teammates virtually kept me in vibe with the organization.
I did not see any change in the number of offers with respect to the previous years in the profiles I applied for. So I am assuming it will be the same this year also. No need to worry.
According to you who should ideally apply for this intern?
People who are interested in algorithms and Data Structure and want to pursue a career in software development can apply for Amazon.
And what advice will you give to them?
Revise the things before exams. If you have time after each screening test, discuss or solve the uncompleted or left questions that were asked and looked through the concepts you missed.
DON’T FAKE YOUR CV UP TO A LITTLE EXTENT!!! Be thorough with your Project. Prepare this question -What were the challenges you faced in your project and how did you overcome that?
Before the interview do a bit of research on the principle of the company. Be HONEST with every answer in the interview.
Be calm. There is no reason to be anxious due to your poor performance in any screening test or in case you haven’t got any offer till Day2.
Good Luck!

Hello to everyone reading this. I am Rishi Jain, a final year undergrad from the Industrial Engineering dept, pursuing its B.tech course. I did my summer internship at American Express as an analyst in the SPG, which basically is an in-house strategy consulting team, part of the global AmEx strategy team.
Selection Procedure
AmEx generally comes on day1 for its intern as well as placement selections.
For the intern selection procedure, there happens to be an online test, followed by 2 rounds of interviews after shortlisting based on the test scores and CV screening.
Online Test
The test comprises 3 sections
The aptitude ques are of medium difficulty, but given a short time, it’s a challenging exercise to solve even 15+ ques if you are not in practice.
Then comes the ML section — 10 basic questions in 10–15 mins; I will just keep it short, stating them as “fairly simple”
The last section happens to be a business problem. Here, they had a unique way of representing the case, let’s say, by giving you 50 chits of info and allowing you to open up only 40 of them, with each chit labeled what kind of information it contains. So you need to understand what information you need to arrive at a decision for the given case (MCQ-based).
Overall, the level of difficulty lies between medium to hard.
Interviews
First-round (CV grilling + knowledge check) — Every interview starts with an introduction, which should be precise and crisp from our end. I was grilled about my CV and ML/DL knowledge in the first interview. It went pretty well as I was able to defend all elements of CV except some questions around DL and python. One piece of advice for fellow peeps — It’s okay if you don’t know the answer to a question asked; you must not waste any time or be silent during the interview. Politely inform the interviewer that you are not aware of the topic currently and move on.
The second round (Case + HR) of the interview was basically a case round followed by a general discussion and cultural-fit conversation. I was asked a case on optimization as I had a couple of projects around it. In my case specifically, I had to formulate the problem into an optimization framework, define the required data points, constraints and finally cover some possible outcomes. They just give you any business problem/scenario, and you are supposed to drive the conversation, ask questions and arrive at a conclusion. I was fortunate that I got asked a case only around my field of expertise.
There is no defined way to learn data science or whatever you might call this field; one should try to explore according to interests without skipping any basics. I am mentioning very few topics to learn in the vast AI frame, with one particular resource of my choice.
Following things go into the prep of ML profiles (in order) -
Analytics can go hand-in-hand while studying ML, and one might switch towards core analytics or proceed towards deep learning.
One should explore the following topics to make their analytics muscle strong (Practice-based stuff) -
Project Details
Well, the project I did is subject to implementation and potential impact on decisions after further work, so I can’t really disclose my full project details.
Being a part of the strategy consulting team, I was lucky to have an exciting project around how marketplaces (say Amazon) impacts financial institutions (basically AmEx), with an attempt to identify mitigation strategies for the associated risk.
It was a fantastic open-ended project with a large scope, but one must know that there is a limitation of data when it comes to any competitive industry.
WFH experience (I would say communication is the key for a fruitful WFH exp)
In my opinion, growth is capped working from home when compared to working in any corporate office/environment.
But obviously, everything has its pros/cons, here is what I felt -
Cons
Pros
Impact of Covid on internship selections (Situation is identical for each one of us, so don’t let any circumstance impact your chances/performance at the end)
There ain’t going to be as such an impact, the companies are considerably ready and stable for the situation, and with students able to save a lot of time, they can also go for the enormous world of off-campus opportunities and diverse domains.
I don’t see any difficulties coming up to grab an opportunity (on or off campus). There is definitely a hustle, but that helps us remain competitive and learn new skills, pushing every day.
Ideal student match for Amex strategy role
As the team name suggests (Amex strategy), they offer a strategy consultant kind of role, which involves working with a world-class team of analysts and managers responsible for making strategies, directly impacting where the corporation will stand incoming 3–5 years. This opportunity really polishes your pitches, communication, the way you present your work, and refine the way you think about strategies.
One could get extreme exposure to analytics and insights, helping them shape their ideation and implementation.
Advice for students sitting this year
(CDC intern won’t define your career)
I want every student to know that bagging a CDC internship (at any day) is good, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t get it through CDC. There is a large sea of opportunities waiting to be exploited off-campus, where you might learn, even more, working under your suitable role. Campus selections don’t offer that much diversity of profiles (for internships only), which one could explore off-campus.
And one internship can be a plus point for you, but it can’t define your career.
(Skill development is the key — whatever your goal might be)
Apart from this, I would recommend every fellow kgpian to keep working hard on their skills, not only coding/CP or CDC prep stuff (you must do that), but simultaneously explore new domains, fields you like, or anything that creates a spark of interest amongst you.
All The Best !

Hi, my name is Swarnim Raj. I am a fourth-year undergraduate student of the department of Electrical Engineering enrolled in its Instrumentation Engineering course. I have done my summer internship in 2021 at Bajaj Auto in its R&D EE department.
The selection procedure consisted of an MCQ test with questions divided into 4 sections: Aptitude, Quant, Vocabulary & Technical. The test was followed by a shortlisting based on the test and your CV.
Finally, there were 2 technical interview rounds and 1 HR round.
Revision of your coursework, majorly Machines & Power Electronics, is sufficient to prepare for the test and the first technical round. The second technical round needs you to be thorough with your CV and your projects. You should know each aspect of your project even if some other teammate is working on it. The HR round, as mentioned earlier, does not require more than a few google searches to get familiar with the common HR questions and to know a bit about the company.
Your Project Details
Since I am interning with the Research & Development team, my work was very much on the electrical aspects of the vehicle itself. My work was on an ISG — Integrated Starter Generator (interested people can search it on the net). I would suffice it to say that the work was exciting and you could see the direct application of your work on the vehicle. The result was majorly on Simulink, so previous knowledge of the same was beneficial in my case.
I indeed wanted to get a bit of corporate experience, which I could not, but the mentor ensured that I had enough work all the time. If the internship had been on site, I would indeed have gotten the chance to implement my design on a prototype but the online nature of the internship limited me to just computer simulations which was a bummer. It would surely have been more enriching if I had interacted with the officials there and with the other interns.
Bajaj Auto did call a few interns on-site based on their project requirement so there is a high possibility of having the upcoming internships offline. But the CDC process is still online. There would surely be people resorting to malpractices in the test. In some questions, you might not be able to convey your ideas as effectively as you would have been face-to-face, so you should indeed work upon your communication skills. Other than that, try to be off social media for a few days to avoid distractions and unnecessary demotivation.
According to you, who should ideally apply for this intern?
People who are heavily inclined towards the Electrical core profile and Electrical systems design are well suited for the internship in Bajaj Auto. You are not expected to know everything at the beginning of your training but should have a will to learn quickly and apply it to the problem at hand.
And what advice would you give them?
Try to deliver a bit more than asked for and also try to take the initiative on your internship.
And in general for everybody -
Try to be thorough with your CV
Stick to the profile you want to pursue ahead in your career. Don’t go for a profile just because its internship is easy to bag.
CDC is not the end. There are loads of opportunities in each profile so do not hesitate to apply for off-campus foreign research internships.
Last but not the least, try to stay in touch with a senior who has done his/her internship at a place you want to.
Best of Luck,
Swarnim Raj
PS: Do not hesitate to contact me in case of any doubts

I am Karmanya G B, a final year undergraduate student from the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I am from Radhakrishnan Hall of Residence. I joined Deutsche Bank as a Summer Analyst through CDC.
Selection procedure :
Deutsche Bank’s selection process has 2 steps:
1.CV shortlisting: DB (Deutsche Bank) shortlists 15–20 students based on their CVs. They look for a well-rounded CV and any prior knowledge/experience in finance is a brownie point. Although they do not mention an explicit CG criterion, they generally look for CG > 8. At this point, DB also asks for a cover letter in which they want to know why the candidate wants to join DB and conducts a test that consists solely of various scenarios one might face in the office (HR questions)
2.Interviews: DB usually conducts 3 rounds of interviews (this may vary depending on their needs). The rounds will include HR questions, Puzzles, CV-based questions, and test your general understanding of finance and your inclination towards the field.
I would divide the preparation into 3 parts.
Puzzles/Probability: Heard on the Street would be your go-to book for this, as most of the puzzles that DB asks for will be from there. You can also go through other books like Xinfeng Zhou and 50 Challenging Problems in probability.
Finance Knowledge: Ensure that you are very good with macroeconomic concepts; there are crash courses available on YouTube that cover all the essential topics. Try and brush up on the recent trends in business and financial markets. MOOCs or CFA material will help you learn the basic concepts and financial tools.
CV prep: Ensure that you can defend everything in your CV.
Although I cannot disclose the details of my project due to compliance rules, I can tell you that the internship will be highly beneficial as the first week will be a Bootcamp on financial instruments and derivatives. Throughout the internship, there will be interaction with various business heads and smaller training sessions available to you. All of the assigned projects were directly used by the desk, and I was also given the opportunity to work on active client requests.
Company Culture
Deutsche Bank actively encourages people from different teams to talk to one another and share knowledge. Even as an intern, I could easily set up meetings with any business head and pick their brains with all queries I had. Interns are taken very seriously in the company and even as an intern my opinions were always heard and taken into consideration.
What effect could COVID have in the upcoming internship process?
During my CDC, I believe that DB selected fewer interns than before. However, I would not imagine they would select fewer than 4 interns in the upcoming internship process.
Who should ideally apply for this internship?
Anybody that has an aptitude for finance and is interested in exploring a possible career in the field.
Make the interviews as interactive as possible. The fact that you have gotten shortlisted means that they already believe you have the skills they are looking for. They just want to know how you think, throughout the internship There allowed and if you are someone, they would like to work with at the interview level.

I am Pratyush Saha, a final year undergraduate student from Electrical Engineering. I started exploring the field of machine learning and deeplearning in the month of March 2020 during the quarantineperiod and was very intrigued by it. I got the data science intern opportunity at Microsoft through the on campus CDC drive last year.
Selection procedure
There was a screening test of 1 hour duration containing 50 MCQs from topics like Machine Learning concepts and algorithms, deeplearning and statistics. The interview round consisted of two technical rounds and the last technical round itself consisted of a few HR questions towards the end. Questions related to DSA, ML and probability were asked in the technical rounds.
Reading blogs from sites such as “towardsdatascience”, “analyticsvidya” , and watching videos from various sources like “StatQuest”, “NPTEL”, “Stanford Distance Learning”, really helps in having your concepts cleared with proper understanding of algorithms and the clear visualisation of their working.
Apart from that, practicing on problem statements from kaggle gives you confidence. More focus should be put on data preprocessing and feature engineering as in real life and also during the internship period you’ll have to deal with raw data. Therefore data preprocessing and feature engineering becomes as important as model designing and training.
In the internship period you would be dealing with very huge data and most of the things would be performed on cloud. Thus having an idea of cloud services like AWS and Azure is really helpful.
My project was on “Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection”.
It wasn’t that much of a problem for me as the team members were continuously connected through MS teams and my mentor was very approachable and helpful throughout the internship period.
However it would have been much more fun and it would have been easier to connect and interact had it been an offline internship.
For Microsoft, I believe there’s no particular effect of Covid. The University Recruitment team is very helpful and the internship process would be very smooth right from the onboarding.
Anyone with interest in Data Science and having considerable knowledge in the field of ML/DL with a decent level of coding skills can apply.
Just have your concepts clear, focus more on learning and increasing your knowledge base in the first two years of college rather than running behind projects/internships just for the sake of mentioning them in your Resume. Target reasonable projects and internships which provide you a good opportunity to learn.

Hey everyone, I am Hardik Tibrewal, a Final Year Undergraduate student from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication, IIT Kharagpur. I completed an internship at Goldman Sachs in Summer 2021. I was selected as part of their on-campus recruitment program in IIT-KGP.
The selection procedure was Goldman Sachs consisted of two stages. The first was an online test conducted on Hackerrank. It consisted of 5 sections: Computer Science Theory, Probability and Statistics, 2 easy coding problems, 1 medium coding problem, and English Writing skills. Your CGPA is the 6th metric on which they judge you. The selection criterion was performing to their standards in at least 3 of the 6 areas, as far as I remember. If shortlisted, there were 3 rounds of interviews. All of them were technical rounds, with some rounds focusing on probability and statistics, whereas the others focusing on DSA(Data Structures and Algorithms) problems. There was no HR round.
For the online test, keep practicing CP till the end (see the Metakgp page for resources). In the month when the tests are scheduled to happen, start brushing up on Comp. Sci. basics and Prob-Stats, courses which you will have most likely completed by then, either with your institute curriculum or online. You can practice writing short answers to questions like “What are your motivations in life?” and other common questions like this if you aren’t confident in your writing skills. For interviews, keep working on your DSA knowledge, and go through the basics of Object-oriented programming if you aren’t familiar with it. Also check out sites like BrainStellar for practicing probability puzzles, which will be asked in the first round.
I was assigned a Software Development project, which was designing functionality for one of their applications. I worked with Java, but the projects are assigned to you and you aren’t offered a choice, so don’t worry about the specific skills you will need to know before your internship. If you get a software role, it will be beneficial if you have worked on at least some small project of your own and are familiar with Git, at least. Even if you aren’t, you will have time to figure it out.
The company tried to make WFH as pleasant and interactive as possible. While you obviously miss out on a lot of experiences and, most importantly, networking opportunities online, the overall experience was great for me. As long as you have a decent laptop, a good internet connection, and take the initiative to reach out to people when needed, you won’t face any issues.
Unless the dreaded third wave arrives before the selection process, the situation faced by this batch will be the same as we faced last year. Please try to arrange for a reliable internet connection and power supply if you can. Try to find a quiet spot without any disturbances or people near you, since that may cause issues during online tests. Form a small group of friends with whom you can talk and vent out any frustrations you will inevitably have during the process.
People who are flexible regarding the work they will be given because depending on your tests and interviews, you will be assigned a role that may be finance-oriented or software-oriented. You may be asked for your preference in the interviews, but the final decision will be up to the firm, and you won’t be able to change it. If this is not an issue for you, you can happily apply for this role.
People tend to ignore their communication skills when applying for interns. Do not do that. Your communication skills will play a significant part in your process (at least in my opinion). Keep improving your DSA and Prob-Stats knowledge. Also, be in touch with PlaceComm members on the day of your interviews, so they can help you if anything goes wrong. Don’t be afraid to reach out to seniors if you have questions. Best of luck

I am Pritam Mallick, pursuing B.Tech in the department of Computer Science Engineering currently in my final year. I was offered a summer internship as SDE at Honeywell.
There are a total of three rounds of the selection process, i.e. the coding round at first obviously, then followed by Technical Round, and at the end HR round.
1.The coding round consists of three questions with medium-level questions (at least one DP) within a time limit of 90 mins if I remember correctly.
2.The technical round questions are a function of the CV of the candidate. The interviewer might ask to code the basics of DS (like Priority Queue, BST) and some popular algorithms (Knapsack, BFS, etc.). Other than that the candidate will be asked a handful of conceptual questions and a tricky puzzle in the end.
3.The last round with HR is rather more relaxing and non-technical. However, HR might be interested in co-curriculums of the candidate and evaluate his/her worth to the company.
I did appear in CDC with just the right amount of preparations, not more not less. For one month I completely focused on Competitive Programming targeting 4–5 questions everyday topic wise. Apart from that my previous projects helped me to make an impression in interview rounds.
I belonged to a small team of other interns. We built a complete end-to-end product called Asset Health Analyzer backed with ML models that can classify faulty data and predict upcoming data from IoT devices of Assets in various industries. The product consists of a dashboard that allows users to operate and analyze asset statistics.
How was your experience working from home?What difficulties did you face?
Work from home did have some pros and cons as well. We had flexibility in time slots of work even though we had meetings twice a day. However, we did miss out on the real-time exposure of regular offline internships. We soon got acquainted with the work culture.
Apart from the technical level of difficulty, I didn’t encounter any form of hurdle during my tenure.
Speaking from my point of view, Covid does change the hiring culture of companies in general. Now the hiring staff can just establish a remote video call instead of conducting 24×7 interviews of candidates on campus. This raises a level of uncertainty in the hiring process and adds lots of stray factors.
According to you who should ideally apply for this intern
This company is best known for global-wide services in almost every field. Candidates who love to bring their ideas to life, create solutions to industrial problems, and at the same time expect ethical treatment and respect of personal time, this is the best-suited company for them.

Hello, I am Pratyasha, a 4th-year undergraduate student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering (B.Tech). I received an offer from JP Morgan Chase(CIB Research & Analytics, Markets). Here, I have noted down my experience of going through the shortlisting and interview rounds.
Shortlisting rounds:
For shortlisting, there were 2 tests. The first test had Mathematics puzzles(basic), questions on English, and Reasoning. The second test had problems with Probability and Statistics. All the questions of the 2 tests were objective.
Interview rounds:
There were two rounds of interview for JPMC -
1. The Technical Round — In this round, we were asked to brief our projects and internships mentioned in our CV, followed by were given problems on Probability and basic Mathematics puzzles. They also tested our knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms. There were 9 problems in total. It was not mandatory to have prior knowledge of Finance. The interview went on for about 35 min. The main focus of the discussion was the problems. Not much was asked from the CV.
2. The HR Round — This round was more like an informal conversation, where the interviewer asked about my family background, why I want to intern at JPMC etc. This round hardly lasted for 15 min. The interviewer also briefed me about the working environment at JPMC and the procedure I had to follow if I received the offer.
Preparation:
We need to practice problems on Probability and Statistics. Some resources are: Heard on the Street
50 challenging problems in Probability
Also, it is advisable to practice quant problems and revise the basic concepts of DSA.
A brief overview of my project:
Depending on the team we are a part of and our field of interest, we are allotted different projects. For me, it was mostly automating some tasks(as my interests were
inclined towards that). Since a lot of the information (clients/products) related to our projects are confidential, here is a brief overview of 2 projects I worked on at JPMC: 1. Creation of some automating tools for facilitating the Sales Team in carrying out their tasks more efficiently.
2. Automating the generation of financial reports to be sent to clients: JPMC has its investible indices, the performance of these indices, and some other details that need to be sent in specific formats to the respective clients to automate one such report.
Experience from work from home:
Working from home has both pros and cons.
As for pros, we can work through our doubts any time, even beyond office hours, although we are asked not to overwork. Also, a lot of our time for traveling and other formalities gets saved in online mode.
For cons, it gets relatively challenging to clarify doubts as there is nothing more efficient than in-person interaction. Also, networking with other team members is not as efficient in online mode.
In the online process, we may face technical issues during interviews/tests. On the bright side, online interviews can be less grilling than offline ones.
This is a Fintech profile, so anyone who inclines financial markets, and interest in OOP and DSA, can apply for JPMC (Markets) profile. Even those who have no prior knowledge of Finance can apply for JPMC.
To the internship aspirants, the CDC Internship season can be pretty stressful. Remember, CDC is not the only option you have. Try to remain strong during the process, and you’ll ace it. All the best!

I am Keshav Bagri a final year undergraduate student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering enrolled in its 4-year course. I am about to complete my summer internship at KPIT Technologies Ltd. I am also working for the Centre for Automotive Research, The Ohio State University.
I received an email from MFTP containing a PDF with a list of projects KPIT was offering this year. This PDF consisted of projects in the domain of electric vehicles, driverless vehicles, ML, Data Science, and Mechanical Engineering. Next, I had to fill a form with my personal details, skills, and 3 projects, in preferential order and provide an innovative solution to the project, if applicable. The first round was essentially based on this form and my CV which was submitted to CDC. The next round was the interview, for which a total of 16 students were shortlisted, for different projects. The interview was based on the conceptual knowledge for the project I had selected in the form, my CV, and basic programming questions. It should be noted that the programming round is subject to the project you have applied for and may or may not be applicable in every case.
Since there is no test involved, the preparation is completely limited to the interview. For this, I’d recommend that you should be thorough with your CV. More than 75% of my interview was meticulously based on my CV. They even asked questions about the projects/internships which were not connected to the internship project I had applied for. Apart from this, try to gather some information about the projects that you have chosen in the form. Towards the end of the interview, I was asked about my familiarity with the project and how helpful it would be for them. The programming round was something I wasn’t prepared for. I stumbled on a couple of questions but I managed to give the answers for the rest of them, so they seemed to be satisfied with it. In your case, if you think your project may require you to code, then you should prepare for the programming questions, at least to some extent.
Project details
My project is related to driverless vehicles in general. Title — “Memory footprint and inference time reduction for Deep Learning models”. Deep learning models, used in driverless vehicles for object detection, motion planning, etc. are computationally extensive in terms of memory requirement and time they take to generate the output. This is a challenging task because the deployment of these models on edge devices like microcontrollers or custom hardware having substantially lesser resources available for computation is difficult, considering the cost and availability of these edge devices. My job was to reduce the complexity of the selected models using open source AI compilers and Deep Learning frameworks and perform a comparative analysis based on the results. Finally, these results will be published in a research article.
How was your experience working from home? What difficulties did you face?WFH experience isn’t something you would want for your summer internship. The recruiters tried their best to arrange for offline interaction. Nevertheless, the situation didn’t allow for one. I didn’t face any difficulty as such since I had good internet connectivity and my mentors were very helpful in resolving the issues I encountered throughout the internship. Overall, as far as learning is concerned, this experience was fruitful since I got to know a lot about things, I wasn’t very familiar with.
The present situation is very similar to that of the last year, with the only difference being in the timeline. If you are interested in the core sector, you might encounter some hurdles because of intense competition, but then again, uncertainties and challenges are a part of life. You don’t have any choice but to navigate through these obstacles and make the best out of this internship experience. You may feel good after getting a day-1 or day-2 internship, but in the long run, honestly, it doesn’t matter. Your efforts and the experience you gain from this endeavor, are the only things that you should focus on. Patience is something which you must have during the entire season; I learnt this in a difficult way ;)
If you are interested in the automotive domain, then you should definitely apply for this internship. KPIT works extensively in the domain of automotive engineering, encompassing its various areas. Also, they offer projects in multiple areas as I mentioned earlier, which can be appealing.
:: Conceptual understanding of the projects that you have worked on prior to the interview, and details related to the project you are applying for, will surely make you stand out of the crowd. For instance, even though I wasn’t very confident during the programming round, my CV and understanding of the projects I had worked on, was something that they actually liked.
Now, since the CV preparation on ERP is over, the best you can do is to prepare well for the interview. All the best!!

Hi, I am Rohit. I am a final year UG student of the Department of Electrical Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course. I have completed my summer internship as a Design Verification Intern at Micron Technology.
First, we had a CV shortlisting round, then there was around 1 hour of written test MCQ-type questions on Aptitude, Analog, Digital, and Verilog. They gave a dedicated time slot to each part. The test was of moderate level and most of the problems were easy. They selected 18 guys for the interview.
There was only a technical round, no HR round. I had my interview for around 40–45 minutes. After A few minutes, he asked me a few questions from my CV and asked me to explain a few points I mentioned in my CV. Later he started asking technical questions. Technical questions were from Analog and Digital, most of the questions were easy, from basic kmap minimization, CMOS inverters, Transistor level circuits, logic gates, diodes circuits, BJTs, and all. I believe he was trying to test my basics of Analog and Digital. Finally, they selected 3 of us for the internship.
I would rate both the test and interview as moderate level. One should be strong with the basics of Analog and Digital. Analog and Digital both are depth courses for us so try to perform well in these and go through whatever your professor teaches you. For Analog one can go through Behzad Razavi’s ( book + video lectures).
For digital since it was in 5th sem for us I have gone through Digital Electronics Circuits on NPTEL by Prof. Goutam Saha and Neso Academy’s Digital Electronics videos over youtube. Book I will suggest Morris Mano for practice. Most of the core tests are MCQ type so one can also solve GATE questions for practice.
The cutoff for core profiles is around 8–8.5. So to qualify for their written exam, one must satisfy CG cutoff. A CGPA of 8+ is good enough. Most of the core companies look for people with a good understanding of concepts, I repeat have a good understanding of concepts and practice problems as much as you can.
There was a 3 week training period entirely based on core subjects. We went through the whole DRAM circuits understanding the working principle and design, getting familiar with Cadence Virtuoso, Verilog, Finesim, and other basic materials required to start the project.
The training period was really good. We were exposed to a lot of things within a short period of time. My profile was Design Verification so we have to automate the verification flows of our design. I have to develop python scripts to check for finesim waveforms for various test modes. I know it may not sound core-oriented but along with python scripts I have to do a visual check of waveforms and compare the results with the script I wrote.
My main purpose was to automate the waveform measurements using python scripts. Since it was just an 8-week internship they gave us a few test modes so that I can get familiar with working on test modes. Normally full-time employees work more on core related things.
It was an 8-week long internship starting from 10th May to 5th July. My experience working from home was good but we all know working remotely can’t match with on-site work. But my mentor, manager, and colleagues all were very friendly, helpful, and supportive.
They made my internship much better than I expected. Although there are some pros and cons of working from home. Talking about pros, you can adjust your working hours and lifestyle easily, better productivity, and be safer at home in these tough times. While we miss going to the office, making new friends, talking to employees informally, You don’t get to know your team very closely. I feel the on-site experience is a whole different experience but the internship was conducted so nicely remotely as well.
Covid was there last year as well. We had our whole internship process online and I guess things will get better this time than last year in terms of conducting the internship process online. The major problem covid is creating is connectivity, so stay connected with your friends and seniors, don’t lose hope, things will go right.
Micron is a semiconductor company. Those who are interested in core electronics and want to pursue a career in the same should apply at Micron.
There are relatively fewer opportunities to get an internship in the core because of the large strength of EC+EE and less number of core companies coming for internships. Don’t restrict yourself to a single profile, at least try to give tests for each profile. Don’t completely rely on core, also have some backup for software profiles too. In software, knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms would be enough.
I would recommend following the JKR funda page as he provides most of the core related materials and fundae. Also, be in touch with the seniors, we are more than happy to help you. Lastly, I would say don’t worry much about internships, placements. There are a lot of opportunities ahead. Even if you don’t get internships through CDC you can always apply off-campus. Appear for GATE exam, apply in PSUs, etc.
All the best.

Hi, I am Shyamvanshikumar Singh, a final year undergraduate student in Electronics and Electrical Communication. I completed my 8-week long summer internship at Microsoft. I was part of the Professional Services (Microsoft Digital) Team which is part of Microsoft’s Core services engineering and operations group.
Selection Procedure:
The selection process involved one coding round followed by 3 interview rounds. Before last year Microsoft used to conduct 2 coding contests before shortlisting for interviews, but last year they conducted only one and used CPGA for shortlisting.
The coding round for most companies is conducted on the Hackerrank platform, but for Microsoft, it is usually conducted on the Mettl platform which many don’t find friendly. Just be a bit more cautious and calm while giving the test if you are not familiar with the platform. The round consisted of 3 questions which were the same for all students. The questions were easy and were from topics like dynamic programming, greedy algorithm and one was a simple brute force problem.
The first two interview rounds were again coding based where one question was asked in each round. The first round included designing a sorting algorithm without using comparison operators while the second round included a DP-based question. During the interview, it is very important that while thinking about the solution of the problem you think out loud. As in my case, it helped me to get some guidance from the interviewer for getting to the correct solution. The final round was mostly based on topics mentioned in my CV and some problem-solving. The whole interview experience was pretty chill.
How to prepare for them:
For software engineering-based profiles a good knowledge of Algorithm and Data Structures is essential. You can take the Algorithms I course of the CSE department or can do an online course on DSA. Once the basics of DSA are clear, there are many sources to practice problem-solving. GeeksforGeeks, Leetcode, InterviewBits, A2OJ ladder, etc. I would suggest selecting any two of the available resources, instead of jumping between different platforms. Apart from these, you can participate in competitive programming contests on code forces and CodeChef to get an idea of your progress.
My internship project details:
My project was involved a Machine learning-based multi-class classification problem. It involved creating different machine learning models, creating Restful APIs, and some work involving Microsoft Azure. The project was mostly coded in C#. Most of the technologies used in the project can be learned during the internship itself and there are no prerequisites.
Internship experience:
The internship experience was really good. People are always present there to help you out in any difficulty you face, whether related to the project. Many fun and informative events were conducted throughout the internship period. The project work was also very interesting, and the project timeline was pretty lenient. The only thing lacking during the period was interaction with fellow interns due to the online work mode.
Now, mostly all of us have become accustomed to the online mode of learning and working. Last year also the entire process was online and went pretty smooth. During the whole process in an online manner, we become lonely and try to be in touch with all batch mates and seniors. Talking with people will reduce all the anxiety related to the process. Be confident and hope for the best.
Who should apply for this internship?
All the technology enthusiasts and coding geeks can apply for this opportunity. There is a lot of scope for learning new technologies and skills during the internship period.
Advice for them:
My advice for you all is to be confident and believe in yourself. Be firm on your fundamentals. The internship process itself will be a learning experience. There will be days when things won’t go your way. Try to learn from them. Don’t get demotivated when you don’t get a shot in some of the companies. Again have belief in yourself, and you will find a company matching your skill sets.

Hello, my name is Ayan Chakraborty. I am a final year BTech Student from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communications Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. I am doing my internship at Nvidia this summer 2021. I got the internship offer from Nvidia through the on-campus CDC Internship drive.
The selection procedure for Nvidia consisted of two stages — online test followed by interviews. Nvidia had a CG Criteria of 9 for sitting in the tests (which was later reduced to 8.5, I think).
The online shortlisting test was divided into 3 sections. The 1st section had MCQ questions related to Digital Electronics (Combinatorial and Sequential circuits), CMOS and design and timing analysis of FSMs. The 2nd section was logical reasoning. The 3rd section had lots of Fill in the Blanks related to Computer Architecture and 1 easy coding question.
After shortlisting, there was a single round of interview, in which I was asked about my projects I had mentioned in my CV. After that, I was asked technical questions related to Interrupts, Digital Design, Pipelining and Data Hazards. I was also asked an aptitude question. It is important to be clear on fundamentals.
Knowledge on Digital Electronics and Computer Architecture is important. There are many resources available on Youtube. I recommend the lecture series on Prof. Onur Mutlu’s Youtube channel. You don’t need to understand all of them, but at least you should be familiar with topics upto (and including) Pipelining, Caches and Memory hierarchy. MIT OCW is another good resource for these topics. You can also refer to NPTEL Lectures. For aptitude questions, you can practice from the Heard on the Street book. You should also know the basics of CP and how to use STL data structures for the coding question. You should also check out the JKR funda page on FB for many additional resources.
Your project details:
My work involved the use of Formal Verification to verify digital designs. Verification is the process of verifying that a design works as expected under all conditions. There are many different forms of verification, formal verification is one of them. It is not a prerequisite to know about verification, you will learn about it after you join.
It was a very good experience working from home. I did not face any technical difficulties. I had regular meetings with my manager, mentor and fellow team members, and I was helped by them a lot. There are no fixed working hours, and it was up to me when I wanted to work, as long as I completed my tasks. There were many interactive sessions organized as well. I was also sent some goodies :)
Effect of Covid on upcoming internship process?
Since this year also, the process is happening online, you may feel alone sitting for so many tests and interviews. Try to form a small group of friends with whom you can discuss. Also since it is online, you may have trouble expressing your thoughts to the interviewer, so make sure to keep thinking out loud during the process. Keep a working webcam and stable net connection.
Students looking to build a career in core electronics and interested in learning more about how big designs work should definitely apply. There is a lot of scope to learn a lot of new skills. You could also get software related projects after joining depending on your CV and interests.
What advice will you give them?
As I mentioned earlier, it is important to let the interviewer know what you are thinking. The number of companies coming for core internships is comparatively limited compared to non-core companies, so don’t get demotivated if some of your friends get internships before you. Keep a calm mind during tests and be clear on the fundamentals. Keep in touch with placecomms during the day of interviews and communicate your priority order to them. You should also read up a bit on the latest news and products of the company you are interviewing for.

My name is Shubham Ekapure, and I am pursuing B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. I interned at Optum, a part of UnitedHealthcare Group, during the summers of 2021. I worked with the Clinical Quality Analytics team under the profile of Product Management.
2020 was the first year when Optum came for a product management role in Engineering Schools. They usually hired PM interns from Business Schools in India. The selection process is more involved than other profiles.
The initial screening was based on CV shortlisting and CGPA. The shortlisted students were then interviewed.
All the interviews take place on the same day and overall the entire interview process takes around 3–4 hours. Finally, 2 people were selected for the product management profile.
Having Projects, Internships, or domain knowledge of Machine learning and Deep learning will be very helpful as the company solutions are themselves based on AI. Be very thorough with what you have in your CV, and practice guesstimates can come in handy. If you have time, do look for some business points for your internships/projects. Be familiar with standard HR and personality-based questions.
My project was to create a machine learning-based solution that will generate target strategies for Health Plan managers in the US. Because the market was already identified by work mainly on the technical and UI part of the product, i.e., creating the predictive model and integrating it to a website. This was then benchmarked as the minimum viable product. Other than these, I completed some team automation for reading patient-level data, comparing huge chunks of healthcare data, etc.
I didn’t have any issues with the internship being remote, overall I’d say I had a very fruitful time interning with Optum. My mentor and manager were both friendly and we used to have daily meetings for the project much like a scrum call. The only challenges I faced were when I had power cuts or internet shutdowns because of maintenance but it’s a part of a remote setup.
I think that after the 2020 and 2021 internships, most of the companies have accepted the current state in which we are. So that’s a bright side to look at. If the pandemic situation resolves out well till next year some companies may have on-site internships too. Be regularly updated with all the notices from CDC.
You don’t need to have prior knowledge of the US Healthcare system or product management. Ideally, it will improve your chances if you have some projects in AI or AI for Healthcare. Having a case study competition on your cv can also be helpful. If you have worked on AI and have a keen interest in business strategy, this role would be perfect. Any product management company having domain knowledge of their signature, After,, and overall products always helps.
Be calm and be patient for your chance. Shortlist your prioritized companies beforehand and start preparing for them. Get in touch with seniors who are working there or have interned there. The CDC internship process can be very stressful but make sure you learn as much as you can from it.
All the best :)

I am Arijit Ghosh Dastidar, a final year undergraduate student from the Department of Mechanical Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course.
This summer I interned with Oracle, in it’s Application Development LOB.
The duration was 8 weeks.
Firstly there was a test. It had 4 parts.
Each section had its own time slot so you can’t repurpose the time you save in 1&4 to 2&3. There were a lot of questions and you can’t go back, so you have to judge if the current question is worth solving or not.
The second one was a typical coding interview. They asked basic BST, Linked list and a few other standard problems. After which they asked if I knew anything about OOPs, DBMS, Java etc. To all of which I answered NO. The interviewers were nice and didn’t press on. Instead they started asking me interesting logical puzzles.
The next interview I had was mostly resume focused. Questions pertaining to my prior internship and projects were discussed.
How to prepare for them
Apart from standard DSA prep, if you have spare time, try to learn OOPs and basics of Java. If you want to learn core CS topics, you can try out GATE related channels on Youtube.
Developing enhancements for an existing application.
Loneliness? Although I had regular meetings with my mentor and manager.
The good news is, online interviews are less intimidating than in-person ones but on the flipside, online proctoring isn’t foolproof.
Anyone who wants to work for a big tech company.
And what advice will you give to them
Your mental toughness counts more than your technical skills during CDC season. Handling rejections is an acquired skill. Bounce back fast.

Hi, I’m Alok Munshi, a final-year undergraduate pursuing a Major in the Department of Chemical Engineering and a Minor in Mathematics and Computing from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. I did my internship with OYO as a Business Analyst Intern in summer 2021. I was selected for the role as a part of their on-campus recruitment program ‘OYO HEADSTART.’
OYO came to campus in the first week of November and was open for all the departments. Out of all the applicants, a total of 305 students got shortlisted for the online test, which had questions in the form of MCQs on aptitude, basics of Data Science and Machine Learning, probability, and statistics, and had 3 questions on SQL where we were asked to write down SQL queries based on schema diagram.
Based on online test scores, they had shortlisted 36 students for the Group Discussion round. There were 4 panels, each consisting of 9 students, and the topic of the Group Discussion was general, not a technical group discussion.
After the Group Discussion round, 16 students were shortlisted for the personal interviews. They asked a case study and a few HR questions to wrap it up in the personal interview.
Finally, 8 students got the offer letter.
Familiarize yourself with SQL query writing from tabular database formats and schema diagrams. You can refer to w3schools.com or sqlbolt.com for practice. Read about the basics of Data Science and Machine Learning concepts and practice questions on probability and statistics.
I was assigned a multi-function project with the conversion and growth team at OYO, where I improved the average lifetime ratings of OYO on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. I worked on analyzing the problems, designing and implementing new rating and review strategies leading to significant growth in OYO app views, and increasing the number of ratings and reviews on stores. I got a chance to learn and use tools like Google Analytics, Hive Databases, MoEngage, Big Query, Google Play console, and a few more.
Overall it was a good experience. OYO implemented 4 working days a week policy for May because of the uprising in the covid cases. Although the office environment was missing, everyone in the organization was easily reachable and available whenever in need. The mentors and senior authorities were very supportive and helpful and contributed a lot to learning and implementing new things.
What effect could Covid have on the upcoming internship process?
The campus isn’t opening soon, and the upcoming internship process would be carried out in the same online manner as last year. Organizations have pretty well adapted to this online medium and the work-from-home environment, so be prepared. There will be many companies coming and recruiting, and don’t lose hope if you cannot secure an offer in the initial days. There are many opportunities available off-campus as well. Keep an eye on them, and all the best!
If you’re interested in working with a fast-paced and growing organization where you have an opportunity to own and deliver end-to-end projects, this is one of the best places available.
Parting advice
Work on communication and soft skills and be clear with what you want to accomplish in the coming years. Don’t apply for companies just to get a CDC internship.

My name is Aravind Barla, a final year Chemical Engineering undergrad. I’m pursuing a Chemical Engineering core internship in Piramal Pharma Solutions. I watch films and solve equations.
Piramal selection procedure takes place in 4 steps. I’ll give each filtration stage’s number corresponding to my scenario, but those might not repeat this year.
This entire process (all the above four steps) took place in the 2nd week of the internship.
Generally, many companies make you sign a non-disclosure agreement, so we shouldn’t give details technically. But to put it short for insight, I was given all the data of an existing boiler and asked to increase its efficiency and optimize all bottleneck costs. Most of the weeks went with the Chemical Engineering-based knowledge of Heat Transfer; however, a bit of Capital Budgeting concepts and documentation was required towards the end of the project.
NOTE: There were 11 interns from 4 IITs, and all of us were allotted different Piramal sites, and the projects assigned were also completely different from each other. Many of them have got Supply Chain and Logistics profile projects too.
It went pretty impressive because they allotted the project considering its WFH feasibility. Also, the internship isn’t only about the project; every week, we had 1–2 sessions from Global leaders of Piramal on various topics such as Design Thinking, Quality culture, Formulations, etc. We miss going on-site and working with hands-on core projects, but they designed the program to compensate for the lack of on-site presence. Also, on a particular need basis, some of us are permitted to go on-site for a week. So, at least after habituation with 2 Online semesters, there weren’t difficulties; attending meetings and utilizing platforms for sharing data felt seamless.
I don’t think there would be an effect on conducting the internship season, as it went organized during my time even with COVID. However, when it comes to the stakes of each individual, then, unfortunately, there are a lot of problems ranging from internet issues to inadequate mental health balance. But it has been more than a year since the pandemic, and everyone is striving against their critical points. So, I wish the pre-final years would also be in a position to pass the upcoming phase. Reach out to your friends in need.
Any potential Chemical Engineering student with a genuine interest in either core ChE or Supply Chain profiles should give their best try.
Sharpen your presentation skills, be concise about what you explain, and make the interviewer understand each point you’re speaking. Spend time on the topics/courses/internships/projects/competitions you have more grasp on and smartly skip the topics of ambiguity during the interview. Start making it a discussion right after your introduction, take cues from the interviewer, give pauses, and be pleasant. Balance being intuitive yet professional. Also, Piramal usually maintained a consistent style in the pattern of interview questions across the IITs, so if you have friends in other IITs to get information from, then contact them before your interview day.
It’s going to be fun, and it’s going to be alright, Peace!
Not many can keep their sane state of mind during the internship drive, and if you could master that one bit by making rational decisions whenever needed, you’ll be already halfway through it. All the best!

Hello, everyone. I am Ankur Mishra, a Final Year Undergraduate student from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering, enrolled in its B. Tech program. I have completed my internship at Qualcomm in Summer 2021 as a Hardware Engineering Intern. I was selected through their on-campus recruitment drive.
The selection procedure for Qualcomm in Hardware Engineering profile consists of a written test followed by a Technical Interview and an HR interview. It is pretty much the same for all other core companies. The written test (MCQ) was conducted on the HirePro platform (Audio and Video proctored).
For the Hardware Engineering profile of Qualcomm, the most important topic is digital electronics (combinational and sequential circuits, CMOS logic).
Most of the questions are from digital electronics and a few advanced topics like static timing analysis and fundamental computer architecture concepts like pipelining, caches, etc.
There are also some basic coding questions based on the Programming and Data Structures course taught in the first year.
There is also an aptitude section. The questions are generally not difficult for Qualcomm but require some practice.
The technical interview was of about 30 minutes. At first, various things were written in my CV like what you did in the Electrical vehicle Group, what is UART, SPI protocol (I had written them in my CV), what is css, etc.
From there on, we moved to the digital electronics part. I was asked to draw some counters; Can flip-flop be used as Not gate? Etc. I had written in my CV that I know basic Verilog, so he asked me to write a code for D flip-flop, which is easy.
Then a fundamental programming question was asked to swap numbers stored in two variables without using a third variable. I was also asked to draw a circuit from given timing diagram. Between these some riddles were also asked like river crossing problems etc.
I was asked basic conceptual and analytical questions on various combinational and sequential circuits. They also take a lot of follow-up questions based on a question and try to test your understanding.
Also, they keep helping you to reach the answer. I felt it’s okay if we can’t answer all the problems but try to solve all the riddles and most of the digital electronics problems for the selection. The HR interview was only for 5 minutes and was just a formality. The interviewer only asked me about relocation constraints and asked me about which specific team I would like to join, of which I had no idea, so I said any team would be fine.
Preparing for the core profile is more manageable because most things are either taught or taught in the coursework itself. Analog Electronics required for analog profile is covered in the second year itself, but Digital Electronics is not. So, for Digital Profile, we are primarily on our own. For Basics of Digital Electronics, this course on Nptel by one of our professors is quite good: https://nptel.ac.in/courses/108/105/108105132/.
The playlist by Neso academy on Digital Electronics is also good. I would suggest completing both of them for basics.
To learn about Static Timing Analysis this website, I found helpful:
http://www.vlsi-expert.com/2011/03/static-timing-analysis-sta-basic-timing.html?m=1
This Playlist is I found helpful if you want to start with Computer Architecture:
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxCzCOWd7aiHMonh3G6QNKq53C6oNXGrX
Verilog can refer to various websites and take up a self-project to code some circuits. Also, Courses are available on Coursera, which can teach VHDL and Verilog.
I interned with the Design Verification team of one of the subsystems of Qualcomm chips. I had two different assignments during the internship; one was to automate the Memory pin connectivity verification flows, and the other was to develop a memory retention state logger. So, for some critical pins of the Memory, we followed a hard-coded approach for the connectivity verification, and various issues were coming in that approach.
So, my task was to automate this flow and develop a script that takes data from the memory team and generates system Verilog files which can be directly tested in Formal and simulation flow. For the second task, I had to develop a logger which tells us about the retention state o memory in real-time flow. I completed my project within ten weeks, and I also submitted a paper to Qualcomm internal conference. The project was entirely done using System Verilog and Python. I knew Verilog, but I was not familiar with OOP and UVM concepts, so I learned these on the go. I was also unfamiliar with Python scripting and file handling packages and spent almost 1–2 weeks developing the concepts.
Work from home is never a choice as compared to onsite working. Due to WFH, we couldn’t meet members of other teams and get to know what other groups are doing. We were mostly limited to our work. Also, it was difficult to bond with my other team members as we were allotted Virtual Desks on which video call was not an option, so I never got to see any of my teammates. Nevertheless, HR tried to keep us engaged with several fun events and sessions. Various Goodies were also provided before Joining. Work culture is good at Qualcomm. Everybody is beneficial, and you can approach anyone irrespective of his position and clear
your doubts. We are also facing a shortage of chips worldwide these days, so many projects are going on parallel, and everybody is extremely busy. However, my manager and mentor, and other teammates were still available for call whenever I needed.
Similar to last year, this year also we will have an online selection process due to covid. It becomes a problem for some students who don’t have proper resources like good internet connectivity. But we can hope that the Internship will be onsite. Also, seniors are not there to personally guide them, and they also cannot interact physically with their batchmates and know how they are preparing.
Who should ideally apply for this intern?
People who are genuinely found themselves interested in Hardware should apply for this role. Those who didn’t get a chance of getting exposed to Hardware through various Research groups in KGP and found core subjects interesting can also apply. The problem is you may not be interning with the team you wanted because they allot randomly, but you will learn a lot by interning at Qualcomm.
There are very few companies that come for core profiles compared to software ones, and it causes self-doubts like whether we are doing the right thing by preparing for the core. But if we prepare well, we can easily get selected because competition is also lesser.
Always find a senior who has already interned in these companies because a mentor is significant during this process as it sometimes becomes depressing. Hence having someone to talk to and get the proper guidance regarding preparation material and strategies is substantial. It is always good to find your interests as early as possible, but even if you don’t, don’t get pressured by it.
If you find yourself interested in the core, start preparing by taking up the recommended materials, prepare a good CV, and get it reviewed. Before the written test, you should go through the previous year’s question papers for that company.
Few things to keep in mind regarding interviews:
1) the Interviewer also tests the approach and your thought process apart from your final answer. So, keep talking to him about what you think can be the way up to the solution.
2) Prepare your CV well and don’t write anything you are unsure about.
3) You can always ask for hints whenever you are stuck. He is always there for help but to a limited extent.
4) Be ready for the interviews even when the shortlist is not out because there is not much time between Shortlist and Interviews. To conclude, I would say don’t take unnecessary pressure and keep calm and patient during the process. Always remember there will be many opportunities, and don’t lose hope if you face rejections.

Hi, I am Abhijay, a final year UG from Instrumentation Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering. This summer I worked as a Software Engineering Intern at Salesforce.
There was one online coding shortlisting round, predominantly CP-based. The top candidates were then allowed to go through the main interviews. There were three technical rounds and an HR round. All of the technical rounds were CP-based and predominantly tested our thinking and coding abilities. One of them (the second one for me) involved evaluation based on past Internships and Projects, alongside solving algorithmic problems.
I feel that having practiced regularly from LeetCode would definitely help the candidate in clearing the preliminary rounds. Also, I would suggest that you keep participating in Codeforces / Codechef contests frequently in order to be in the habit of solving problems in a time-bounded format. However, in the final technical round, I was given one single problem, which I think was of 2000–2200 rating in Codeforces having a CP background did help me during the interview.
I was in the Health Cloud team at Salesforce. My project was aimed at recognizing, analyzing, and storing data automatically, directly from medical conversations. I worked on the NLP domain of automating the storage of patient interactions. We automated the patient onboarding process, to lay the groundwork by a collection of patient demographics information and storage using FHIR standards in the Healthcare Organisation. It executed an automatic voice conversation with a new patient trying to register himself/herself to a healthcare provider (through a phone call) without any manual intervention, and updated the analyzed data to the Health Organisation Database. It was an amazing learning experience for me!!!
It was awesome, I’d say. The Ohana Salesforce is very welcoming and I enjoyed each day. My manager is a KGP-alumnus and my mentor talked to me at least twice each day. Our team (from KGP, with Shashank Bonda and Ankit Saurabh) even won the InTurn hackathon at Salesforce. Salesforce also gifted us with a lot of amazing Swags very frequently throughout the duration of the internship and also provided us with all necessities (like a laptop). Though I miss the in-office experience and had few connection issues due to the Yaas cyclone, the remote internship journey was extremely well managed.
One trend that I have seen during Covid, is that a lot of people are participating in coding contests very frequently these days, probably due to more time available aside from college. The competition for tech internships is growing tougher each year in Covid. So, even the importance of participating in CP contests and being thorough with the algorithms and data structures is also growing with time.
According to you who should ideally apply for this internship?
People who love solving algorithmic problems and want to get a wonderfully memorable exposure to working at a Tech firm should definitely apply for interning at Salesforce. If you are a tech geek, it’s an experience you don’t want to miss in life.
If you are good at CP and have a decent background in Tech, you’ll definitely ace coding interviews at top companies like Salesforce.
This is my coding during the internship.

Hello everyone, I am Pratyusha, a final year undergraduate student from the department of Manufacturing Science and Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course. I am from Kolkata and I will be joining Accenture as an MCD Associate in the Indian Marketing Unit.
How did you get into Accenture? What was the selection procedure?
We had to apply through the CDC portal of the ERP section as well as the link provided by the company. The role was open to almost all departments without any additional CGPA criteria.
Screening test:
All the applicants were allowed to sit for the online screening test, which consisted of mainly three sections: quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning and vocabulary section. Almost after 3 weeks, the shortlist was published and one week later the interview procedure was conducted.
Buddy mapping session:
Around 25 students were shortlisted for the further interview rounds, and each of them was assigned a buddy by the company. The role of a buddy is to clear the individual’s doubt regarding the role or how exactly one should prepare for the interview. A buddy also helps in preparing for the case interviews.
Interview procedure:
Generally, there are two separate interview rounds, but ours was conducted in one combined round. It mainly comprises of three sections-
Preparing the CV:
A CV has quite an impact while applying for a job in management consulting. Generally, recruiters seek for a CV that has a perfect balance of work experiences (preferably related to finance), skills (basic ones like SQL, Excel, etc) and PORs. Try to include your academic as well as extra-curricular achievements in your resume. Always get it reviewed by your seniors; there is always a scope for improvement. Don’t go for the last moment rush and take your time in preparing a compact resume. Most importantly, don’t try to include terms that you don’t know, be honest and well-aware about whatever you are writing in your CV.
Aptitude tests are generally not hard if one knows how to manage time. We had to solve 48 questions in 55 minutes. In order to get accustomed to this, you have to practice. Different mock test portals are easily available in the internet, find the quality ones and solve those within a specific time.
Interview preparation:
Practicing with your peer group with similar profiles is the best way to prepare for the interviews. I would suggest few books like Victor Cheng, Case in Point, etc. Solve the guesstimates and cases together, also practice some mock interviews, especially for the HR rounds. There are seniors who will always be eager to help you. Your answers should not sound mechanical. Prepare basic questions like, why do you think you are eligible for this role or what values you think you will be able to add to the company. Finally, the interview round is the last hurdle you gotta overcome to achieve your dream job, so just give your best.
I guess I am not in a position to answer this question. From the few meetings I have attended I would say the campus recruitment team has been quite friendly and approachable, and they are always eager to clear any kinds of doubt you have.
What difficulties did you face?
CDC procedure is always hectic, also it was an online procedure for us, and so networking and managing our mental health have been a little bit tough.
Well, not only for this job but personally I think one should go for a certain role only if he/she is really passionate about it. A career is a long-term commitment, so go for the profile which suits you the most. Coming to this job, consulting is all about dealing with clients, and working in a team which includes lots of travel and almost 60+ working hours per week. So one should consider these factors, before opting out for this profile.
2–3 months is enough to prepare for the placement session, so make good usage of your summer vacation. Few quick points would be these-

I’m Satyam Sharma. I am a final year undergraduate student pursuing my major in Mathematics and Computing at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. I was born and brought up in Chittaranjan, West Bengal.
Previously, I have interned with Mastercard as a software developer in the Data and Services Platform team. Post my second year, I also got an opportunity to work as a research and development intern at Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO). Besides, I love exploring systems with a deep passion for Operating Systems.
How did you get into AlphaGrep? What was the selection procedure?
I got placed at AlphaGrep through on-campus placement (CDC). It consists of one Online Assessment Round followed by one to two rounds of technical interviews.
Online Assessment: This is purely based on Data Structures and Algorithms. One can expect non trivial questions ranging from moderate to advanced level problems.
Technical Interview: For this round, one is expected to have a sound knowledge of Computer Science (undergrad level). The spectrum consists of topics including OOPs, Operating System, Computer Networks, Computer Architecture and of course Data Structure and Algorithm. The candidate is also expected to be well versed with advanced C/C++ including STL, shared pointers, virtual functions etc. along with their implementation where efficiency and code quality matters a lot. In my case, initially my CV was discussed including my previous internship and projects. Then, I was asked to write pseudo code for 3 DSA problems. On the difficulty scale, they were between easy to moderate levels. After that, my familiarity with C++ was discussed where I was also expected to code the implementation of String Class, Vector Class and Shared Pointer as well. Later, they grilled me on Operating Systems where they discussed in detail about virtual memory, caching, context switching etc and finally from Computer Networks.
For DSA, it is highly recommended to consistently appear for online contests. Not only can one improve their problem solving skill but also learn to solve problems within a given time frame, which from the placement point of view is perhaps the most important thing.
I also relied upon leetcode for topic wise problem solving. I used to give 5–6 hours daily to solve roughly 7–8 problems a day. I used to re-solve a problem if my runtime was less than 40% and later used to refer to the best solution. This gave me an opportunity to learn alternative methods, new techniques and algorithms. Apart from this, I was blessed to have a mentor who was my hall senior. Everyday I used to discuss tough problems with him. To my juniors, get yourself a partner who might be your friend, senior or even junior. It isn’t possible to solve every problem and preparation of DSA is time consuming. Everyday you can discuss the tough problems amongst yourself. This way you can solve twice the number of problems you would have solved otherwise.
Coming to topics from Core Computer Science, I followed my lecture notes. For reference material, I followed video lectures of Prof. Sorav Bansal, IIT Delhi for Operating Systems. Similarly for Computer Networks, one can refer to video lectures of Prof. Sandip Chakraborty, IITKGP and the book Computer Networks by Andrew S. Tanenbaum. For Computer Architecture, topics like Caching and Pipeline are extremely crucial and I followed video lectures by Prof Smruti Ranjan Sarangi, IIT Delhi. Other platforms like MIT OCW, Stanford Online are also a great place for students who are preparing for these topics.
For C++, learncpp.com is a great resource which discusses topics till implementation level.
What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem.
With a CGPA of 7.95 during my CDC internship, I faced multiple rejections as most of the companies in the initial days had a bar 8+ which obviously was extremely discouraging. For this reason, I focused on my academics a bit more for the next two semesters to make sure I crossed the bar. Though, for placements, this criteria is a little bit relaxed but again, the more the better.
Apart from this, the entire period of preparation is extremely monotonous and sometimes depressing. You have a lot to cover for placements along with managing your academics and Thesis Project. Also, I started my preparations from mid of July and placement tests started from the second week of October. So, with such a small time frame, it was difficult to cover the entire syllabus. Therefore I started group study with my batchmates during the month of November to prepare for topics which are comparatively less important from an interview point of view like Compilers, so that I could invest more time in other important topics. This turned out to be a good decision for me and helped me cover breadth quickly. Also throughout this period, being surrounded by my family, friends and seniors was an added support.
Based upon my experience of the industry, I am not sure if I would be the right person for this question, for me I don’t have any first hand experience right now. In my case, I am really passionate about Software Development. Since my second year I developed a deep interest in Systems. I started kernel development in my third year. This introduced me to low level programming and eventually to some techniques for writing faster applications. Therefore, based upon the interactions with my seniors who work in the same industry I got to know that this role somewhat aligns with my interest, that it would give me an opportunity for further exploration. Working as a software developer in an HFT based organisation with like minded on systems where nanoseconds matters, gives one the exposure how stuff actually works under the hood and an opportunity to learn and write low latency codes. Therefore, HFT was on my preference list.
As mentioned before, this period is going to be stressful and emotionally draining. Take this as an opportunity to develop your hard and soft skills. Don’t stress over getting rejected in the OA rounds. Your performance in OA is a part of selection criteria which otherwise contains many other parameters. Just realise your mistake and work on it. During my placement, I realised many of us have imposter syndrome. We tend to judge ourselves based upon peers’ preparation and their past achievements which directly or indirectly our confidence and plays a key role in placing ourselves in the rejection list. What really matters is your knowledge, your sincerity and dedication. Everyone is going to start from zero. Don’t extrapolate your past, at the end how well you have prepared, how well you can defend your work and CV and how you have leveraged your college time would be the X-factor. Be confident and fight till the end. Placements don’t decide your fate, and I have witnessed multiple examples of my seniors who weren’t initially placed in their so-called dream companies and now grabbing multiple offers from top tech companies who once rejected them, thus bearing the testimony of this fact. Campus placement is just like an opportunity you get in your final year to get a headstart in your career, nothing more nothing less.

Q. Brief Introduction
A. My name is Adithya K S, I am a student of the Humanities and Social Sciences Department enrolled in the 5 year Integrated MSc Economics course. I got placed at American Express in Gurgaon in the Management Trainee role, through CDC. I’m looking forward to shifting to Gurgaon from Bangalore sometime soon!
Q. How did you get into AMEX ? What was the selection procedure?
A. Amex was one of the earliest companies to conduct their placement test, which was in late October. There was only one test, followed by 2 rounds of interviews on Day 1.
Q. How to prepare for them?
A. The test for the management trainee profile is heavy in mathematics. It is essential to have a strong grasp in probability and statistics. In general, a good understanding of first and second-year mathematics is important. As these concepts are very useful in other tests as well, the preparation for this test does not require any additional effort as such.
In my experience, the interview rounds have no specific structure. It is driven by the interviewer and the candidate. What is essentially being tested is the problem-solving ability of the candidate. The latter rounds do have the tendency to revolve around the credit and credit card business, hence it would be beneficial to read up on how companies like Amex and their competitors generate revenues and how they do so differently from each other. Overall, it is also important to make yourself extremely familiar with your resume, as questions regarding your CV can also be expected.
Q. What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
A. The tests for companies that come later in the placement process seem easier simply because of the practice you get from continuously taking tests. As the test for Amex is usually quite early in the process, I found it difficult to be sufficiently prepared for it. However, it is in this case where you must approach your seniors or batchmates who have already been placed at Amex, so as to gain a better understanding of what would be required of you for the test, and subsequently the interview as well. As the interview process doesn’t have a repeated structure that is followed year in and year out, the only way to be sufficiently prepared is through continuous practice. There is no getting around the required time investment. The plus side is that this practice would also be extremely beneficial for interviews for other companies as well.
Q. According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
A. Any candidate interested in analytics must apply. Additionally, those interested in finance and consulting can also apply.
Q. Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for placements this year?
A. Start preparations early, preferably by July-August. That also includes identifying which profiles you are interested in and concentrating on those. Starting early also affords you the time to work on your interview and soft skills, which are very important. Having the ability to appear confident and be personable can help you get through many interviews, and these skills can be acquired through practice. Start at 2 mock interviews a week. To that end, you can approach your batchies or seniors. It is most efficient and beneficial to learn from your peers. Being able to share acquired knowledge in this way will undoubtedly help all those involved.
Q. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention while targeting this profile?
A. It is important to consistently build on your skills, either by taking courses or doing projects. Either one (or ideally, both) on your CV will show recruiters that you are eager to learn. However, as I mentioned before, having good interview skills is at times more essential.

Introduction
Hey, I am Rachana Verma, a fifth-year undergraduate student from the Department of Architecture and Regional Planning (B.Arch.).
I will be joining American Express as a Management Trainee in the Credit Fraud Risk department from June ‘22.
This role was open for students from all departments, with criteria of CGPA: 7 and above, and no active backlogs.
The screening test consisted of three sections: Quant (JEE level), Machine Learning (10 MCQs — easy), and Case Solving (1 case with 2 follow-up MCQs). The quant section was compulsory, while one could choose to attempt either one or both of the rest two sections. Around 65 students were shortlisted for interviews for the Management Trainee profile through this test.
Interview Round 1 (eliminating):
It started with a CV walkthrough and follow-up questions regarding previous internships and projects, followed by a root cause analysis and strategy case.
Interview Round 2:
This round consisted of multiple short cases and questions based upon the credit card system and its workings, with an emphasis on aspects like customer risk profiling, the business model of credit card networking companies, and credit fraud detection. These were followed by common HR Questions about you and your motivation to join the company.
Screening Test:
Interviews:
What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
The initial screening test seemed a bit lengthy considering the time limit and difficulty level, I felt that it could have been attempted better with more practice for the quant section.
Another hurdle I faced was that I wasn’t very much aware of the workings of credit card networking companies until 3 days before the interview, so had to rush through the reading and understanding of concepts. This can be handled better if you have prior knowledge that some parts of the interviews would be focused on such topics.
Lastly, I was very nervous during the interview as it was my first interview ever in the CDC process (Archi students don’t sit for CDC internships), so all I would like to say is that try not to be too nervous and just answer calmly. If you’ve been preparing for the placements all these days, it’s gonna be fine :)
Anyone who is into Management and Strategy should apply. They don’t expect you to have a very close background to the role/department they are hiring you for, so if you’re open to learning and exploring new domains while upskilling, I believe it would be a good choice. Rest can be said only once I join :P
The time when you prepare for CDC Placements can be scary and cruel on some days, but know that you’ll sail through it, and you’ll sail through it well :) All the months of preparation, the fear of not being good enough, the rejections, all of it will end in a beautiful sweep with you and your friends getting placed with amazing offers.
Get your CV reviewed by seniors, practice for tests and interviews along with your friends preparing for similar profiles — it helps you keep up with the daily prep schedule, and appear for mock interviews set up with friends and/or seniors. Prepare well, have a healthy routine, and don’t get too cut off from people at this time, your friends will need you, and you’ll need them.
May the odds be ever in your favour.
ALL THE BEST!! :’)

Myself Sudhamsh Kukkadapu, a dual degree student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Mechanical Systems Design. I am a boarder of Meghnad Saha Hall of Residence. My interests are Mathematics, Deep Learning. I did projects and internships in Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision areas. I like to solve puzzles and every day I solve at least one sudoku.
How did you get into APT Portfolio? What was the selection procedure?
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who helped and motivated me during the placement drive and also a special mention to the APT portfolio for recruiting me. I got selected for the Data Scientist role which I aimed for. First, there was an online test that consists of competitive coding questions which are of a moderate level in which I did all the questions and followed by two rounds of coding interviews each of duration of around 45 minutes where they mainly focussed on trees, stacks and in each round, they asked 4–5 questions which we need to code in hackerrank platform. Generally, every company follows the same procedure for selection which is mentioned above, there will be an additional HR round at the last for most of the companies.
I started my preparation in December 2019 i.e., when I learned python and the basics of Machine Learning and did projects and internships in the summers (2020 and 2021) which helped me a lot in learning AI-related concepts in depth. Apart from my work experience, I prepared for competitive coding questions from InterviewBit and LeetCode during the internship and placement drive which is sufficient and must for anyone who is willing to give cp related tests which not just helped me in placement tests but also helped me in improving my thinking skills so I would recommend everyone not to neglect competitive programming especially if you are aiming for such roles.
The one who is interested in Mathematics, Coding and has experience in Data Science is perfectly suited for this role. Apart from these, there are plenty of soft skills which are important such as communication, problem-solving, thinking skills and many more.
Be confident, prepare well, aim for roles in which you are not just interested but also had a belief that you can do justice for such roles. Don’t get tensed about placement tests which will be hundreds in number, just be prepared and learn from your mistakes try to give your best in each and every test. Discuss with your friends who are also aiming for similar roles as the exchange of thoughts always helps you to grow better. During Interviews as most of them will happen at night till day 3 try to sleep whenever you get some free time. Do not get demotivated if you are not selected by a company stay motivated and be confident, you will definitely get selected if you believe in yourself.All the best to everyone who are going to sit for placements this year.

Brief Introduction:-
I am G V Sai Harshit, enrolled in the dual degree course of Aerospace Engineering. I am a boarder of Lal Bahadur Shastri Hall of Residence. I got the placement offer from Bajaj Auto during the current placement season as a Post Graduate Trainee Engineer.
How did you get into Bajaj auto? What was the selection procedure?
Despite being from Aerospace, most of my projects had an overlap with Mechanical subjects, and hence before the placement season started I decided to apply to core mechanical roles. As a backup, I was also preparing for business analyst roles.
Regarding the selection process, most of the core companies in Mechanical have a screening test — Aptitude followed by Core Subject Questions. 30 min after the first written round, qualified students were sent another link to take the Psychometric Assessment. There are no wrong or right answers in this section and I believe only the consistency of answers will be checked.
In the interview, I was expecting technical questions related to vehicles and was not so confident as I had no experience. But luckily the interview was mostly based on my CV. Every small detail about the project was asked and I had to explain it to them in detail. They first asked me to describe my favorite project and its relevance in the current industry. Later minor details about all the projects were asked. They basically wanted to know how well I understood the projects and whether I have done the project myself.
The next round of interviews was the HR round, which lasted for roughly 5 minutes where they just asked for basic details and they wanted to know why I am not preferring higher studies despite having a good CGPA.
The syllabus of the written test is the same as the syllabus for GATE Mechanical, but the focus will be more on 5 topics namely — Thermodynamics, Strength Of Materials, Machine Design, Fluid Dynamics, and IC Engines. These 5 topics would be enough to crack the exam. Some Aptitude questions were also asked and students are expected to be well-versed in aptitude as almost all job profiles test this aspect.
For the interview, just be very well-versed with your CV and don’t mention anything that you can’t justify. Prepare a good introduction and also be ready with questions that you will ask the interviewer after the interview. Both the introduction and the conclusion are essential as they paint a good impression. Be confident in your answers and everything will be fine.
Being from Aerospace, I didn’t have the knowledge regarding some Mechanical Gate concepts and I spent most of the Dusshera Holidays reading these topics and writing practice tests. Some of the questions will be direct formula based and one has to remember a lot of formulas and equations. Apart from that, I had doubts and fear regarding the placements but I was lucky to have good friends and family who constantly believed in me and motivated me to stay confident.
Anyone interested in the profile and having a profile something close to the job profile can apply. For Bajaj Auto, there is no need to have any prior knowledge about the working of a motor vehicle as was the case with me. I am not sure about the CGPA factor, but having a good CGPA definitely helps in core profiles.
It’s never too late to get started as I myself started preparing for the placements during the DP Holidays. Just put in the required effort and be confident in your abilities and skills. Don’t be scared about the interview as you are not expected to know everything. And most importantly keep in touch with close friends and family, who will help you stay focused.

Hey, I am Visesh Kaushik, a fifth-year undergrad in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (Dual-Degree). I am from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. I will be joining BNY Mellon as a Software Developer.
The screening test consisted only of coding questions. Three coding questions were given and a time of 90 minutes was given in total. The questions were of medium difficulty from the topics Arrays, Graphs, and a hard problem from the topic Dp+Bitmasking. The students who solved all three got shortlisted.
The interview consisted of three rounds (2 Technical + 1 HR). The first round consisted of just 2 coding questions and I had to solve them in the Hacker rank platform where we had Run tests and submit options just like the screening test but here we had to code in front of the interviewer and explain him. The questions were easy to moderate level. The second round was also similar to the first round and consisted of 2 coding questions with a different interviewer but on the same platform. One question was moderate and one question was easy. I solved all four of them. The last round was an HR round with basic HR questions and some puzzles, which were quite easy.
Firstly, one has to be clear with all the concepts of Data Structures and Algorithms to get into a software developer role. The best platform to start DSA is Interviewbit. After solving Interviewbit fully start practicing in Leetcode, write weekly contests, and take as many mock contests as possible because writing the whole code and debugging under a time limit is very important and Leetcode provides a platform for Mock Contests. One more website which I found very useful was BinarySearch.com, which consisted of many good questions. I had a group of friends with whom I practiced coding so we used to start a mock contest with only hard questions, if anyone of us solved the questions everyone else would be able to see it in between the contest, so it became very competitive. Once you get a good hold on the concepts of DSA and solve many questions you can move to Codeforces or Codechef and start solving questions from there.
One of the major problems in getting into a software developer role is competition. Getting shortlisted in companies would be tough even after solving all the questions one might not get shortlisted. To overcome this problem one has to give as many mock tests as possible so that one gets used to writing code within the timeframe, and also having a good CGPA and a good resume with decent projects is always an added advantage in getting shortlisted but not necessary. Having great coding skills is the most important factor to get into the Software Developer role.
Who should ideally apply for this job?
Anyone who has a passion for technology, interested in Fin-Tech and targets Software Developer Role can apply for this job
Placement time is very hectic and people feel very frustrating but trust me all the hard work that you have put in will definitely give you results. Try to stay as calm and composed as possible during the interviews. Do good preparation and be confident, your preparation will definitely bring you great results. I would suggest everyone to form a group for practicing coding because I have learned many concepts while discussing with my friends, trust me you will learn many concepts when there is a group with the same passion to solve the questions. Don’t get disheartened seeing your friends getting placed on Day 0 or Day 1, your time will come. ALL THE BEST!!!!

Hello folks! I will discuss my CDC placement experience leading to an offer from Da Vinci Derivatives. First, a bit about myself and my background. I am Kousshik Raj, a dual degree student from the Computer Science and Engineering Department. I interned at Quadeye Securities, an HFT, as a Systems Engineer. I entered the CDC placement process and received an offer from Da Vinci Derivatives, an HFT, for the Software Engineer position in The Netherlands.
How did you get into Da Vinci Derivatives? What was the selection procedure?
During the placement process, I opted for the positions I was interested in, mostly related to Systems and Software. Among these, I was very much interested in the HFT ones, in which Da Vinci Derivatives was one among my top considerations. Moving on to the particulars of their selection process, there was an online test for 30–40 mins. Unconventionally, the focus of the test was primarily C++ functionalities and semantics, with 50 MCQs on them, which was quite in my favor, considering that was one of my fortes. After this, I was shortlisted for the interview process, and I believe there were not more than five people who got through for this role.
The interview process was very straightforward. There was only a single round of interviews, which went on for around an hour, which can be treated as a mix of technical and HR. We started with my introduction, then moved on to my work during my internship, considering the roles were nearly the same. There were many questions regarding my work, how I approached it, the difficulties I faced, and my overall experience. Moving on, there were general algorithm and data structures questions, the complexities of various containers in STL, and then there were questions on the concepts of process and threading. The implications of various standard practices and the tradeoffs considered were also tested. Overall, they tested how I perform over a wide array of topics, and although none of them were complex, all of them, in one way or another, required quite some out of box thought. Then I was asked about my general interest in the role and the company. Other significant projects I have worked on were also examined. Finally, after an hour of satisfying interview experience, I got to know about my acceptance at the end of the interview.
Now let’s talk about all the behind-the-scenes stuff, aka preparations. In general, all HFTs that post a System/Software engineer will somehow or the other test your C++ skills, as it is one of the go-to choices for developing their platforms. Well, at least in most cases, this is true. And anyway, having a solid foundation in C++ is always a big plus. And one of my most exciting and promising sources of preparation is here. Feel free to use this or any other sound source online. Besides this, being well-versed in algorithms and data structures is a must, which is essential for almost every role out there. And for this, I’d say Competitive Programming helped me the most. I have been taking up CP on and off since my 1st year, solving numerous problems and participating in various contests across platforms like Codeforces, CodeChef, etc. This has helped me hone my algorithm and data structure knowledge and improve my problem-solving skills. And finally, I have also brushed up my knowledge of Operating Systems and Computer Networks, as this is a part of the core technical knowledge involved in the work you will carry out if you are selected and will be most surely tested.
In general, I think people who are very interested in programming and Systems, in particular, will enjoy the work that is expected of you in these sorts of roles. Although things might be a handful, they will also be exciting, keeping you occupied.
One of the most critical aspects usually neglected is your CGPA. Usually, such positions also expect excellent academic results. So have to work on that, if you are interested. Involving yourself in other non-academic development and technical projects will also give you quite an advantage over your peers who didn’t. Keep yourself motivated and brush up on the nec-usually-essary knowledge, and you are all set to go. All the best, junta!

Hello, I am Ishan Das; I shall join DC Advisory as an Investment Banking Junior Analyst after graduation.
DC Advisory is a leading corporate finance advisor specializing in cross-border transactions. As part of an established global business, we offer access to over 500 professionals throughout Asia, Europe, and the US. DC Advisory provides tailored independent advice on M&A, debt raisings, and restructurings.
How did you get into DC Advisory? What was the selection procedure?
First, a form was circulated in which we had to enter our prior internship and project experiences in Finance. Moreover, we had to fill in details about completed Finance certifications like CFA and FRM. This was followed by an online test with a few HR questions, a guesstimate, a puzzle, and 5–10 questions based on Financial Statements and their analysis. The finance questions were easy if you have religiously studied the CFA curriculum. DC Advisory took interviews on Day 1. I had two interviews (40–50 minutes each) (both rounds were similar). Both rounds were comprehensive — starting with generic questions to gauge the interest and drive of the candidates. Questions like — Why Finance as an engineer? Why Investment Banking? What do Investment Banking firms do? How is DC advisory different from its competitors? Tell us about the major deals of DC advisory in the past year. Then we had some discussion about the Indian deal landscape and startup ecosystem. This was followed by a discussion on the IPO scenario in India — was it a bubble? What is your view on the coming decade for India’s startup ecosystem?
Since the nature of the job is client-facing, they evaluate your communication skills and depth of knowledge. It’s crucial to be a structured and thoughtful communicator. These skills are developed over time, generally with our engagements on campus. Being good at these discussions will come naturally to you if you are well-read and are passionate about Finance.
Then I was asked a few guesstimates. You can follow the Case Interviews Cracked IIT-B case book, Guesstimate-Compendium, by Consulting Club FMS for guesstimates.
I also highly recommend doing case preparation with your batchmates since this will help you structure your communication skills and boost your confidence.
Finally, they tested my knowledge of Finance. Financial Reporting and Analysis, Economics, and understanding recent happenings are essential for Investment Banking roles. If you are comfortable with the CFA level 1 curriculum, that should be enough in most cases. In some roles, you might be grilled on advanced concepts of DCF Models, Financial Statement projections, US GAAP vs. IFRS principles, etc.
For other Finance roles (e.g., Global Markets Analyst roles) that hire from KGP — FRM Level 1 syllabus is more relevant. You should know about the various Financial asset classes (Stocks, Bonds, and other Fixed Income instruments, Options and BSM Model theory, Futures, Forwards, MBSs, CDSs, Swaps, etc.) and their valuation and risk measures. It would help if you also understood the previous Financial disasters, their triggers, how they unfolded, and the damage they did. This, combined with the knowledge of how Financial markets and institutions are organized, should be sufficient to get you an analyst role.
I devoted the month of November to revising the Finance concepts that I had already studied while preparing for FRM level 1 and CFA level 1. I was already well aware of the recent happening in the world of Business and Finance, both national and international. Apart from this, I did the vital but often overlooked HR prep. I practiced some Probability and Statistics puzzles to brush up on the basics. This was enough to get me through.
For probability, statistics and puzzles, I recommend finishing the books — Xinfeng Zhou — A Practical Guide To Quantitative Finance Interviews, Heard on the Street, Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Job Interviews-Timothy Falcon Crack, brainstellar.com and 50 Problems in Probability by Frederick Mosteller.
Guesstimates — I mentioned the sources in the previous question. Don’t forget the case prep! Focus more on M&A and business strategy-related cases.
Finance — CFA level 1 and FRM level 1 syllabus is enough for all Finance roles.
Financial News — Finshots, BloombergQuint, Bloomberg Finance, Wall Street Journal, the Ken, Mint, etc. Start religiously following these at least five months before the interviews. I would also advise doing CAT RCs to boost your reading speed. You can read books by authors like Ruchir Sharma and form a macro view of the markets.
I haven’t worked at an IB firm yet, so this is the first time I will also experience it. I have gathered that Investment Banking roles (similar to most client-facing roles like consulting) are demanding and competitive. At the same time, they offer you a fast-track career with growth and learning experiences that are hard to match in any other industry. Like any other decision, this is a tradeoff between growth and WL balance, and you should decide for yourself based on your personality and lifestyle choices. I assure you that if you enjoy the job, even 14 hours of grueling work can be enjoyable.
This is a high-pressure job that demands a particular skill set. You should ideally apply for this job if you have a knack for business and finance and a drive to make a dent in this ever-changing hyper-competitive business world.
The industry you want to work in fresh out of college will decide a significant part of your career trajectory. Many people get lost in the rat race to score the best-paying job or enter the field everyone else is chasing. Many misguided students make this major life decision with short-term goals in their minds or, even worse — by following the herd. Don’t do that! Think about the long run — decide which job suits your personality type and temperament, which job gives you satisfaction, and which jobs will help you get where you want to be ten years down the line. All the best! May you get what you want.

1) Brief Introduction
Hi! My name is Pujan Burad. I am a final year undergraduate student from the department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. I am from Malkapur, Maharashtra. I was offered a full-time role as a Software Development Engineer at Dream11 during the campus placement process conducted by CDC.
2) How did you get into Dream 11? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure consisted of 2 stages.
The first was an online coding assessment(3 questions) of 1 hour and 30 minutes. The questions were of medium-hard difficulty level and were primarily on array and DP. The second was the interview stage which involved 2 technical rounds and 1 HR round. The first technical round focused primarily on data structures and algorithms, and 2–3 questions were asked. I had to code the solution on CodePair and explain my approach to the interviewer while optimizing the solution both on time and space.
The second round was more focused on resume and questions were asked on the work I did during my internship, probability and use case of different data structures. The last round was a culture round with an AVP of the company and HR to check the fit with the company. Basic HR questions and situational-based questions were asked in this round.
The preparation for applying for software roles through CDC is pretty straightforward. The main focus should be on preparing yourself well for the coding rounds. There are courses available online focusing on DSA preparation. Some of them are pretty well structured, so you save a lot of time by not having to search for topics from different places. InterviewBit is a good starting point for the preparation along with Codeforces Ladder.
A few of the things that I found useful during my preparation were:
- Solving Ladders on Codeforces
- Practicing problems on InterviewBit/Leetcode
- Making notes
- Bookmarking questions where you struggled/learned a new concept so you can revisit them later.
Few companies also ask MCQs on OOPS and basic questions from subjects like DBMS, Networks and OS. You can prepare them accordingly from GFG and HackerRank for SQL. Algozenith has a post on how to prepare the CS Fundamentals in great detail: Link to post
It’s also important to write clean code and not just efficient code. Use of proper variable names and indentation will help in debugging your code faster, with better readability and is a very important aspect in coding interviews.
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem
The most difficult part is clearing the coding round. A lot of students apply for software roles, so you need to be very good at writing efficient codes quickly. Time becomes an important factor in shortlisting where lots of students have solved all the questions.
A problem I faced not specific to this profile, but in general, was that I started preparing too late. A time period of 3–4 months is enough to cover DSA and the basics of CS fundamentals. Coding rounds generally start by September end. Therefore I would suggest starting by June to give you enough time to practice a wide range of questions and cover all the topics.
5) According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
Anyone who’s good at coding and problem solving, and has a keen interest in software development should apply.
6) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for placements this year?
Placements can be very hectic and frustrating. It’s important that you stay in touch with your friends and family. Start early and prepare well. Get your CV reviewed by your friends and seniors. Mock interviews are the best way to ward off nervousness during actual interviews. Stay calm and confident and don’t be disheartened seeing friends get placed early in the season. Rejections are part of the process and learn from them. Your hard work and efforts will pay off in the end. All the best!!

I am Saksham Kumar, an M.Tech final year student of mechanical systems design (department of mechanical engineering) at IIT Kharagpur. I have done my B.Tech in mechanical engineering from IIT Patna. I have received a job offer from Eaton Technologies Private Limited through campus placements at IIT Kharagpur.
I am Rahul Agrawal currently pursuing my Master’s in Mechanical System Design in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IITKGP. I did my BTech from Pune University and graduated in 2019 from there and then joined IITKGP for a master’s program in 2020 and I have received an offer from Eaton Technologies Private Limited.
I’m Shuvoshree Bhattacharya from the Department of Electrical Engineering. I have done my MS (by research) under Dr. Ashis Maity and Prof. Amit Patra. My broad area of research was Power management in IC. I got an offer from EATON (role- Eaton technical leadership programme) during the last placement season (2021–22).
My name is Saurabh Prakash and I’m pursuing my post-graduation in Electrical Engineering with machine Drives and Power Electronics as my specialization(2020–22) at IIT Kharagpur. I am placed in EATON and my profile is ETLP(Eaton technical leadership programme).
How did you get into Eaton? What was the selection procedure?
EATON is a core mechanical company and they shortlisted students based on their CVs.
The shortlisted students were then called in for technical interviews. The technical interview went on for almost 45 minutes where initially I was asked basic questions from Vibrations. After the initial 5–10 minutes, for the next 10 minutes the interviewer asked questions completely on my MTP (he seemed interested in that). After that my algorithmic thinking was checked by giving me a problem statement and asking me to write a pseudo code for it. The later part of my interview was based on some basic questions from other subjects like Mechanics of Material, Finite Element Methods, Engineering Mechanics, etc.
Some of the students were then shortlisted for the HR interview from the technical interview. In the HR interview, the questions asked were Introduce Yourself? Why EATON? Have you ever had to make a compromise with your principles? How did you manage to do it? What was the biggest challenge that you faced in your projects? What did you learn from it? The interviewer asked HR questions for about 20 minutes.
The best key to preparing for any core company is to make sure our basics are clear. The shortlisting for the interviews was done based on submitted CVs. Therefore, it is advised that the students targeting these jobs should have a strong CV. They should devote ample amounts of time to writing as well as polishing their CVs.The students should be fully aware of whatever they have written in their CVs and they should be ready to answer any question related to them. Getting their CVs evaluated by some seniors who are experts in the field is also a good idea. Many core companies take written tests as their first round to shortlist for interviews. So, students targeting such roles should revise important technical subjects taught in B.Tech as well as the various topics of aptitude. Apart from this, they should practice important HR questions. Some practice for speaking good English is also preferable.
It was mostly related to projects and resumes. You should do your project with utmost sincerity that will suffice the purpose. The only thing is that you should relate everything that you say in the interview to real and practical scenarios. I think any core company will look for candidates having sound fundamentals and having good command in 2–3 subjects. To overcome this problem, I utilized a few books which are related to GATE preparation. Many such books contain the theory of subjects in a brief manner through which we can revise important stuff. Such books are also very helpful for practicing numerical questions. The questions asked in the written tests of core companies are generally on the easier side of the GATE-level questions.
The one who is inclined towards the core job in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Students who are very much interested in core jobs and looking for a long-term career in mechanical engineering should apply for this job. EATON is a very good company to start your career with due to its working culture and the projects it takes. Those who like the area of machine learning and data analysis would also like the role. Data analysis is nowadays used a lot in many core companies too.
I wish all the very best to everyone sitting for this year’s placement.
Placement season is exhausting, both mentally and physically. Just keep faith in yourself, start working from the beginning and keep your basics clear. The most important thing, be confident. And try to explain anything like you are explaining to a layman (of course by using some engineering terminology), in simple terms, that reflect your understanding of the concept. The placement phase is a time when it is important to maintain your cool and not get very affected if you are not getting the desired outcomes. During this time, your focus should be to appear in as many interviews as you can irrespective of past results. Please do not let the result of one interview/written exam affect the result of another. You should not take any rejection personally and focus on playing the game. I wish all the very best to everyone sitting for this year’s placement. Something good is waiting for all of you.

Hello everyone, This is Vinay Kumar Agarwal, a final year UG student from Mathematics department enrolled in Integrated M.Sc. course. I did my compulsory internship at Mastercard Technology Private Ltd. during the summer of 2021 . I recently got a SDE campus graduate role offer from Google during the placement season last year.
I got placed at Google India during the placement season last year. The selection procedure consisted of an online coding contest and 3 rounds of interviews of 45 minutes each. The online contest had two coding questions with one being of easy level and other in medium- hard category which were expected to be solved in 60 minutes. Based on the contest , few students were shortlisted for the interviews. There were 3 interviews in which 2 were purely DSA based and 1 was a mixed DSA and Googlyness round. Google has a special " Googleyness " round in which they generally assess candidate's qualities like being a team player, friendly, ethical, respectful , valuing yourself and others . It was about imagining yourself as a Googler and then how you would react to different situations given by the interviewer.
To prepare for Software Development Role in Google, one needs to have good knowledge of data structures and algorithms and strong problem solving skills. There is no restriction on programming language. One can choose any language to solve the questions. Google interviews does not focus on advanced data structures and algorithms like Segment trees or Red Black trees or Convex Hull problem although having knowledge of them can give a candidate an edge over others. Interviews question are mostly based on arrays, strings, recursion, geometry, greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, two pointers, binary search, graph algorithms, trie and trees .So it is really important to understand these basic stuff thoroughly before diving into complex data structures and algorithms.
One should regularly give contests on competitive coding platforms like codeforces, codechef and atcoder. This will help them in improving their speed and problem solving ability. For Interview questions, one must solve InterviewBit questions and then practice standard questions at Leetcode. One positive aspect of Google is that Interviews do not focus on core computer fundamentals like Computer Networks, Operating Systems, Database Management and Computer Architecture so one should expect questions mostly from DSA.
Also, one needs to have a good understanding of the time complexity of different algorithms .Apart from these technical details, speed is also important since one needs to explain the solution approach to the interviewer and code it in the limited time given. The interviewee is expected to write a error free code with proper function names and comments. I even earned extra points due to my speed and clean code in one of my interviews. Giving few mock interviews before actual interview would be of great help.
An ideal person to apply for this role would be one who has passion for technology and wants his/her work to affect millions of lives because of the huge Google user-base. He/She will get to work with some of the best minds in the industry.
The work culture at Google is one of the most healthy and fun work environment in the industry. The company invests a lot in the growth of its employees and cares immensely about the employees. One of the unique rule in Google is “80–20” rule. This means that employees are encouraged to spend 80% of their time on the core projects and the rest 20% on innovation activities that peak their own personal interests. This greatly helps employees to keep learning and growing.
An advice I would like to give to my juniors is that don’t cram a concept but understand it .This will help in solving even tricky and slightly twisted standard questions generally asked by Google. Moreover, please think out loud and communicate with the interviewer. The interviewer needs to know your thought process during the interview. And lastly, have confidence in yourself and give your best during those 45 minutes.
This is my LinkedIn profile : https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinay612agarwal/
This contains almost everything academic about my college life. Anyone can connect with me here if he/she has any doubt to clarify.

My name is Tias Mondal, I am a final year dual degree student in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. I have done my internship in Honeywell Technology Solutions Lab and am currently placed at Google.
The selection process of a software company is standard. They conduct, an online coding test first which consists of around two to four questions to be solved in a stipulated time and after that you have your three to four rounds of interviews. The interview basically judges you on your problem-solving skills and logical reasoning, so they test you on data structures and algorithms related skills and then if you are applying for some specific roles, then they may ask you CS core fundamental concepts like operating system, DBMS, networking etc. Not all companies ask all of the things that I mentioned, but DSA is necessary for software roles. So, the general template of any software interview is, DSA along with some CSE core fundamental concepts. But here Google is an exception. For new graduate roles, Google only asks DSA questions, no CS fundamental concept is asked and Google also makes this very clear from the beginning that they will only ask DSA questions. So that is all about it.
Now, if I talk specifically about Google, Google has a very well-known template for new graduates SWE roles, so you have a sharp 45 to 50 minutes interview and within that duration you will be given one algorithmic question and you have to code it out and explain each and every part that you are writing. One thing that I will add here is that one beautiful thing about Google interviews is that most of the problems revolve around real world scenarios that Google engineers face in the actual software engineering roles. So, though they are DSA problems to be solved using some existing algorithms, they are real world engineering problems.
Coming to my interview rounds, in my first round, I was given a slightly challenging question based on trees and strings. If you can solve the question quickly, you can be asked one more question based on the amount of time available. Since I did that quickly, I was asked another question based on tree. That is where the round ended.
In the second round, I was again given a real-world engineering-based problem based on disjoint set union data structure. Initially I came up with a non-optimal solution and then had numerous discussions with the interviewer in optimizing the approach. Make sure while writing a solution, you find the corner cases or the cases in which the solution would fail rather than the interviewer doing that for you, we (Me and the interviewer) had discussion on various edge cases, time complexities, etc. The interviewer was super friendly and we also had discussions about different sectors at Google, about the work culture at Google, and that is where the round ended.
In my third round I was given a fairly easy question as compared to the other rounds which needed to be solved using maps. I did that quickly and after that again a fairly simple DP plus graph question, which is also a very standard one. The second part of this interview was the HR round of Google. The HR questions were also standard about what challenges you have faced in real life and all.
I would say, practice a lot of data structure and algorithm questions and if someone can do competitive coding, he or she will surely have an upper hand over others. Most of the companies ask DSA questions, but there are few selected companies like Google, media.net, Code Nation, Uber. These companies ask more competitive coding level questions rather than the standard leetcode type DSA questions. Do Codeforces rounds, They’re super helpful. Try to solve till Code forces C to D level questions, these rounds will make your implementation super-fast and help you to clear almost every coding round. If anyone has time, I would ask you to go for Codeforces and Codechef, and when closer to your interviews and coding rounds, do leetcode. If you are well versed with your competitive coding, leetcode will be easier for you. If you are not able to come up with a solution, try to look into the editorial and this technique will help you further, If you get some similar question in future.
Anyone can apply for this job. The only requirement is strong problem-solving skills (Not only coding), Which I think a student can master in a year or so, given that he puts in a lot of effort and dedication towards his aim.
Here one suggestion that I would like to give to the students regarding the interviews is that just try to communicate your ideas clearly to the interviewer. It is your responsibility to make sure that your interviewer understands every line of code that you write. Also do not be quiet while writing code, explain each line, if possible, write brief comments in places you feel are complicated. Write meaningful variable names and clean code. All these points are particularly important because unlike many other companies, Google has a hiring committee which is formed by Google engineers who reviews the codes. So, the code that you will write will be reviewed by at least three Google engineers before your final decision on selection or rejection is made, which implies your code is your identity to the people in the hiring committee, so it should be clean and presentable and also try to make implementation faster. As for Google, the interviewer will not allow you extra time more than 45 minutes even if you have unfinished code. Try writing code, even if it is a brute force solution. You can optimize that later through discussion with the interviewer.
I will just suggest the students who are preparing for the software roles to just PRACTICE & PRACTICE. Practice is the single most important key, so if you have time, do competitive coding. Do some hard — medium leetcode questions. and aim for the best and do not get demotivated in between, because in this field of competitive coding it is quite easy to get demotivated. So just try to make a group of friends who do competitive coding, together discuss solutions after contests, look into the editorials, and try to know the techniques. Even if you are not able to solve the question, try to know the techniques as these techniques will help you if a similar question comes, so practice is the key thing that you need to do if you are aiming for any role.

I am Yash Butala, a final year Dual Degree student of Computer Science at IIT Kharagpur. I received offers from Graviton Research Capital LLP and Google India. My Day1 shortlists included companies such as Uber, Rubrik, Quadeye, Quantbox, Apple, etc. My prior internship experience provides research internships with Adobe and IBM. To briefly tell you about my profile. I worked as a software developer intern at Amazon Germany. I was a member of the AUV Research Group at IIT Kharagpur. Apart from my work experience, I am good at problem-solving (competitive programming) and have some publications.
How did you get into Graviton Software? What was the selection procedure?
Graviton visited the campus for the Software and Quant Role. Graviton conducted tests for shortlisting candidates for their interviews. I appeared for the Software test, where there were two coding questions and around 4–5 theoretical questions. The coding questions were medium-hard, and I solved them fully. In theory, there were questions on concepts revolving around OS, DBMS, Networks, and Computer architecture. Students were expected to write steps for theory-based questions. I solved some of these questions. Since I completed all coding queries and a good amount of theoretical questions, I was shortlisted for the Graviton placement interview.
The interviewer mainly asked questions about C++ and operating systems. I was told in the interview that they were happy with my performance in the coding test. In short, Graviton looks into candidates’ profiles holistically. There are no single criteria, but a decent GPA, a grasp of concepts in C++, and previous internship experience will be beneficial.
Graviton Research is a high-frequency trading firm that requires low-level coding. One can expect questions from C++, operating systems, computer networks, and computer architecture. ‘Learn CPP’ is a good source for knowing the functionalities of the C++ language. For operating systems, networks, and computer architecture, the courses and standard textbooks will help. For competitive programming, one can practice contests on CodeForces, Leetcode, etc. ‘CP Algorithms’ website is a good source for revising algorithms.
I am yet to begin my job at Graviton, so I may not be able to provide the most accurate insights. Regarding my interaction with employees, the company has a flat hierarchy and a startup-like fast-paced environment. The team is small and has talented engineers from different IITs. There is a lot of handwork and learning that comes with all this.
Anyone interested in trading or computer systems must apply for the job. The HFTs don’t expect students to know about low-latency programming or trading beforehand but look for the student's interest.
Start preparing early and manage your time well. Figure out the profile of companies you are interested in and work smartly. Proofread the resume (if possible, seek the help of seniors) and practice mock interviews as much as possible. Stay calm and assertive during all the tests and interviews.

Hello! My name is Prakhar Gaur, and I am a final year undergraduate student from the Department of Civil Engineering enrolled in its dual degree course. I am from Delhi and will be joining as Associate Product Manager (APM) at BlinkIt (formerly Grofers) this year after my graduation. I appreciate this initiative of SWG to help the students with their career ambitions and am looking forward to sharing my experiences here.
How did you get into Grofers? What was the selection procedure?
I got into Grofers through the CDC placement process in the academic year 2021–2022.
The selection procedure here consisted broadly of 2 stages-
The most important tip here is to be confident and take it forward as a discussion that involves both the interview and interviewee who are trying to solve a problem together (with a smile on their face :p)
To put it concisely, preparation for product management requires a blend of creativity, aptitude for problem-solving, good communication skills, some product/tech awareness, and some experience. Let us see them one by one-
Creativity and problem-solving- In the PM interview, generally three types of problems are asked- 1) Root Cause Analysis (For eg. How to solve the problem of Uber witnessing a decline in the number of ride bookings on its app) 2) Product Thinking Cases (For eg. Designing Netflix for kids) and 3) Market Entry case (For eg. How to go about introducing Spotify in India) for a given product. These problems can be practiced in a group by solving some cases from books like Cracking the PM Interview and Preparing for Product Interviews by IIT Madras and/or watching Youtube channels like PM School, Exponent etc. Preparation for consulting interviews helps a lot here, as it was in my case. Make sure to form groups with similarly motivated PM enthusiasts for practicing the cases.
Good communication skills are required for all the interviews but more for frontend roles like a PM. A product manager is expected to liaise with different teams and bring them on the same page to achieve the objectives more efficiently. A clear, concise communication is thus required from the PM’s end. For this, one can try polishing their soft skills by participating in different speaking events/competitions and learning the basics of group discussions and interviews
Product/tech-related awareness- Staying updated with product-related news, especially for the product of the company you’re interviewing for) is really helpful. For instance, I was asked about what modifications I could suggest to the existing app of Grofers. Further, some basic tech awareness like how WhatsApp work and some key technical terms can prove to be beneficial. You can follow product-related blogs or tech news regularly for it.
Finally, some experience- Having prior PM internships/startup experiences will definitely strengthen your candidature during the interview and give you an idea of the role’s demands. This will also help you make an informed decision on whether you really want to go for it or not. In my case, my startup experience (I had previously worked on a startup named as SmallPaw) actually helped me a lot since I had not done any PM internship before. I had mentioned it on my CV, and many questions were asked on it, all of which I could comfortably answer.
Overall, the preparation for product management interviews generally takes only a couple of months and even less if you have done consulting preparation before (as was in my case). One should look forward to doing related internships if sufficient time is left before the placements.
I am not in the best position to answer this since I am yet to start the work. However, generally speaking, PM-related roles require a good no. of hours of work every day (varies from company to company) with a lot of interaction and communication with different teams. However, that can never be an issue if you actually love this role!
Ideally, people who like business problem solving, interacting with different people, and thinking out of the box should apply.
Having said this, even if you have a slight interest in major products/apps across the world and like generalist roles more, you can consider going for it.
Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for placements this year
The best advice would be to stay confident and believe in yourself. You still have a lot of time (trust me, a lot of time!) if you are focused enough for the placements (for the non-tech roles like consulting, PM, etc). If you have more than 4–5 months remaining before the placements, you can go for an internship (if you don’t have one in your field of interest) and start some preparation parallelly. You can go full-fledged only in the last few months. In addition, do not try to target all the fields. Choosing two fields (one as primary and one as backup) and giving your best for them is always better than preparing a bit for all the fields. Try sticking to them only even if you start doubting yourself during the placement process. This is one thing that certainly helped me.
Also, I know that it is a difficult phase for anyone but remember, you are not the only one who is facing this (even the brightest ones, from your perspective). So take it as a natural process, stay healthy and also chill a bit to keep your mind free from stress.
All the very best for your placements, Kgp junta!

My name is Abhijeet Mahato; I am pursuing my dual degree in Agricultural and Food Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. Along with my academics, I interned at Resurgent Agric as a Product Management Intern. I worked closely with the founder to develop a product to debut in the e-commerce space. During my tenure at Resurgent Agric, I also got the opportunity to co-author a book for coffee stakeholders. Before that, I interned at VegaMX Inc., a US-based firm, where I worked on optimizing a Corn Yield Prediction Model using Machine Learning algorithms over historical and satellite imagery data.
In my early years at IIT Kharagpur, I started a Science Blogging Platform named SciLynk, which has 3.4k monthly traffic from 120+ countries. The platform has 100+ blog posts from 37 contributors and is specific to enthusiasts.
In the last four years, I have held multiple PORs. I was the Event Head and Governor at Spectra, the fine arts and design group of IIT Kharagpur. In my hall of residence, I held the post of coordinator of fine arts and lawn tennis, where I was able to make the team secure multiple podium finishes.
Apart from my academics, I hold a degree in fine arts equivalent to a bachelor’s in fine arts. Currently, I am trying my hands-on micro-blogging on LinkedIn, where I have achieved 5000+ average viewership on 20+ product and agricultural-based posts.
How did you get into Groww? What was the selection procedure?
When Groww came, they had their pre-placement talk. In that, they gave us the problem statement. We have to prepare a case study on that. The problem statement was, “as we are graduating, we are on the verge of attaining financial independence, so we have to make a digital product that would help solve the pain points of the new generation who are just graduating.” They gave 1–1.5 weeks for the submission. After the case study was submitted, they released their shortlist based on CV and case round. And then, we were allotted our buddies (current APMs working at Groww) with whom we could interact, solve issues, clarify all our queries and prepare for interviews. The buddies were allotted 3 to 4 days before the interview; after that, we interacted with the co-founder, where all the shortlisted students, like APM, business analysts, etc., had an interaction with the founder. The interview happened on Day 2, so there were four rounds. The 1st round was a simple case round in which I was asked a general question: "Introduce yourself; how many profiles am I applying for, and why product management?” Then the interviewer asked, “How many shortlists do you have?” Then we had a root-cause analysis case.Similarly, the 2nd round involved some basic questions about myself, and they also gave me a product development case. The 3rd round was a more professional root-cause-analysis round. And the 4th and final round was an interaction with one of the co-founders of Groww.
The 1st round was around 20 mins. The case given to me was, “You are an APM at uber, and I’m hearing from my friend that the customer experience from uber is reducing and it’s not as par with its competitor,” and I have to do a root cause analysis for this.
In the 2nd round, the interviewer gave me a product development case “Suppose you are working at Groww, you are given the assignment of creating a subscription model for the users of Groww,” so I had to do a proper end-to-end discussion and make a framework that how will I make an action-plan, what all data points and parameters I will consider for creating the subscription model and why? What will be my basis for the pricing of this subscription model? What will be my main objective behind the introduction of this subscription model? How will I launch the subscription model in the market? What will be my crucial matrix to see this subscription model's success? What will be my roll-out plan? This round went a bit longer, around 40- 50 minutes, since it was a proper discussion round, and we had a good conversation like he was enacting a good company scenario.
The 3rd round was also a root cause analysis round. It was a bit detailed compared to the 1st round. It went around 30 minutes, and here also brought the problem statement from uber itself. The problem statement was, “The number of drivers canceling the orders from Uber’s end has increased.” I had to do a root cause analysis on this. I felt that the interviewer had made up his mind that he wanted to test how much I could bear him in the interview as he grilled me a lot in exploring the root cause of the problem. It became a little nerve-wracking in the end, but I kept my patience and explored different possibilities with a structured approach. He was trying to check whether I knew the news and what was happening in the external market. After that, he gave me one more problem statement, mainly based on checking my thought process. The problem statement was, “It has been observed that users are downloading the Swiggy app but later switching to the Zomato app.” So, I had to figure out why they were switching. He gave me around 5 minutes and asked me to lay down my procedure and thoughts.
The 4th round was pretty quick. It was with one of the co-founders. It was 15 minutes round where he was more interested in knowing about me. He asked, “Why are you switching from agricultural engineering to product management? What gave you the motivation?” I had my website mentioned in my CV, which I have been working on since my 2nd year, so he asked me, “how did you get the idea to build a product of this sort, and why?” During placement, I was posting articles on product management, and he happened to have come across a few of my viral posts. Based on that, he asked, “What is your motivation and drive behind these postings?” Then he asked me whether I had any questions for me. I asked him, “I have seen all of your interviews where you talk about your success, but what did you gain from the failures you got.” Hearing this question, he was smiling and cross-questioned, “Why do you want to know this answer?”. Following this, we had a good conversation; we discussed how the internet had disrupted the whole ecosystem in India. If you are good at something today, you will not likely be at the prime tomorrow as well. Anyone can surpass you just because resources are freely available on the internet.
And after that, I got a call from HR that we are extending our offer to you, so don’t sit for any other interviews today.
I began my preparation specific to the APM profile somewhere around 1st week of October. Reflecting on my placement journey, I can break down my practice into 3 phases.
Phase 1: October
Phase 2: Up to Mid-November
Phase 3: Mid to End of November
A few difficulties which I felt during my preparation were as follows:
Well, I have just got into this role, so I am not entirely aware of what the recruiters look for in a particular candidate for APM roles. But yes, I would answer this based on my personal experience, which may or may not be the same for all cases.
In my opinion, there are three skills essential to any candidate applying for this role:
Also, it is good to have experience leading and working in a team, solution-orientated projects, internships involving customer interaction/surveys, strategic planning, analytical solutions, etc.
An individual interested or inclined to work in the field of strategy or planning and does not exceptionally enjoy coding or data profile must try this profile. Also, individuals interested in and preparing for consulting profiles should apply for this profile.
Many things are essential for placements, and writing them down would be difficult as I have come out of the placement procedure. Some items might appear very silly to me, but they might be necessary for many juniors out there. However, I’ll try to give out some crucial essential advice that I feel is not discussed much in general.
Your CV is the first and foremost document that creates an impression in front of recruiters. What’s the point of having excellent preparation for the interview if your CV doesn’t make curiosity about you, the recruiters? Also, on average, companies receive 100+ CVs, meaning if it doesn’t grab the viewer's attention in the first 5–6 seconds, it slims your chances of creating your impression. I want to highlight, in general, we prepare our CVs based on how I view our work and achievements. But, from my experience, I would say prepare your CV from the recruiter’s POV of what will be relevant or essential for them. Also, I would advise getting your CVs reviewed by your immediate seniors, your 2+ year seniors, your 5+ year seniors, and 10+ year seniors. The reason is, this way, you will get to know what is the general recruiters’ mindset trending these days. Thus, a minimum of 2 to 3 weeks is necessary for all these procedures and to build the best CV for yourself.
One of the best opportunities provided during interviews is the questions “Tell me about Yourself / Introduce Yourself / Walk me through your CV.” This is the perfect opportunity to determine the flow and direction of your entire interview. Thus, instead of a basic intro, prepare a good and acceptable pitch for yourself so that the listener is more interested in knowing about you as an individual. We all have a hesitant tendency to under-selling ourselves in critical and high-risk situations, which is wildly inaccurate in doing interviews. Thus, always remember you are the “salesman of yourself during placements,” and prepare a strong pitch accordingly.
While talking about any internship, project, PoR, or anything, always address it in a way — What did you do? What was the impact? How did you do it? What did you learn? And finally, How the learning made you a better candidate for the applied profile?
Narrate a story in front of the recruiters rather than just giving orthodox boring answers, which they would have heard all day long throughout several interviews.
During placement preparations, you are very likely to get piled up with a lot of work, and it is highly likely to miss some important tasks or deadlines. Thus, I advise maintaining a whiteboard where you write every small job to be done now, tomorrow, or in the future. Also, use it as a note sheet for preparation and concept revision, as visual reminders are helpful.

Hi, I’m Harshit Jain, a final-year Undergraduate pursuing a Major in Chemical Engineering and a Micro-Specialization in Entrepreneurship and Innovation from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. I am also UG Representative for Chemical Engineering Association.
I received an offer from Honeywell for a full-time SWE role during the on-campus placement drive of 2021–22. I was also awarded as Campus winner for ITC’s Interrobang Season-11 as part of its unconventional placement process for the SCM role.
How did you get into Honeywell? What was the selection procedure?
I am placed at Honeywell during the 2021–22 campus placement drive during Dec’21. But the process was started 1–2 months before it. There were 3 rounds altogether.
Technical interview:
HR Interview:
Honestly speaking, I started very late, So I haven’t left with much time to do CP, but I would recommend one to do rigorous CP as it helps you to get through coding rounds easily, where I felt difficulty getting through, even after doing all questions due to competition in time taken.
Since I haven’t done a lot of CP, I was just building upon conceptual learning by doing various in-depth advanced algorithmic self-projects.
It just not helped me to learn and understand in-depth and intricate concepts in less time but also gave me good points to quote on my resume and even helped me to drive the interviews in my comfort zone.
Remember that the best way to learn a concept is to apply it yourself to a real-life project.
According to you who should ideally apply for this job
This company has business in different segments and fields and is a company that sells a product, not just only software. One who loves to see their ideas being implemented in real life, creates products to be used in large industries such as large shopping complexes, planes, etc.
Anything more you want to share?
I want to share that I could not bag an internship in my CDC pre-final year. I had seen many of my friends who had got an internship but weren’t very happy as it wasn’t in one of the best companies. The same case might be with many more. Everyone should continue trying and never give up!
Another important point to be noted is to be clear with your thoughts. I was preparing for more than one profile, management, and software. Sometimes, in the HR round of the technical profile, I was talking about leadership skills. The interviewer did not like it as it suggested that I aimed to be a team leader rather than a team member(even though the team leader is in the first place a team member before being a leader). I would advise the juniors to keep a fine boundary between different profiles.

Hi, I’m Chitranshu Ranjan. I’m a final year undergraduate from the Department of Mechanical Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course of Manufacturing Science and Engineering. Recently, I got a placement offer from ICICI Bank for a Management Trainee profile.
How did you get into ICICI Bank? What was the selection procedure?
I was selected by ICICI Bank through phase-I of campus placements 2021–22. It was open to all the departments.
The selection procedure consisted of an online shortlisting test and one technical interview round, no HR round.
The online test has MCQs on Aptitude, ML, Object-Oriented Programming, Operating Systems, Networking, and other computer science topics. It was around an hour-long online proctored test.
The interview lasted for about 40–45 minutes. After my introduction, I was asked questions from my CV. I was asked to explain one of the data analytics competitions mentioned in my CV. After giving a thorough explanation, I was asked technical questions related to my approach to the problem along with some questions related to the deployed ML algorithms. The interviewer tried to tweak the problem a bit and asked about the difference in my approach compared to the previous one. It was an interactive interview. The interviewer also gave me some insights into the problems they deal with.
I would suggest having basic knowledge of Machine Learning and Data Analytics. One should have absolute clarity about each and everything mentioned in the CV. Apart from this, one should have a grip over Data Structures Algorithms and OOP. Last but not the least, one should be able to convey their thoughts to the interviewer in a presentable and clear fashion.
One thing which I realized at the time I was looking for an internship was, that even if you are preparing for non-SDE roles still you should have some grip over DSA and other CSE topics. This opens a wide spectrum of opportunities. Even if you are targeting for Data/ML profile, you should not be surprised by the coding and OOP questions in online tests. So, for the placements, apart from brushing the ML concepts and going through my projects and internships, I focused on practicing coding and learning basic OOP concepts. This will not only be a skill addition but coding will help you to think in an organized manner and approach a problem in a much better way.
Anyone interested in machine learning, mathematics, and playing with data should apply for this job.
The placement process is the testing time of your KGP journey. It is a very draining and mentally demanding process. There are lots of companies visiting for different profiles. One should not go on blindly applying to every company. Rather, be clear about what you expect out of this placement process, and also keeping in mind your level of preparation, apply for the companies accordingly. Be patient and keep on trying. You may feel at a point in time that everything is going against you but that is the time when you have to keep your motivation intact and stick around. Keep interacting with your friends and help each other.
All the Best!!

I am Aritra Shome, a final-year student from Mechanical Engineering Department, enrolled in its B.Tech course. During the CDC placement drive 2021, I got placed at JPMC as a Quant Researcher.
How did you get into JP Morgan Chase? What was the selection procedure?
JPMC Quant role opens for all departments, but they generally shortlist students with CG of more than 7.5 or 8.
Firstly, there was an online test for 2 hours. It had 3 sections- JEE level Math(MCQ), Probability(MCQ) and Coding. For the probability section, revising the ProbStats course is enough. The coding section had 2 questions, out of which at least one will be from Graphs.
Then there were 3 technical interviews and one HR round. In the interviews mostly puzzles on probability were asked. Questions related to DSA, ML/DL (as I had it in my CV), Math and OOPS were also asked.
Anyone who is interested in Coding or Data Science/Machine Learning. This role is a coding-heavy role, so interest in coding is a must. Also if you like working on Data Science projects, you will find this role interesting.

Hey, I am Gowri Jayaprakash, a fifth-year undergrad in the Department of Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture (Dual-Degree).
I will be joining JP Morgan Chase as a Quantitative Research Analyst this July.
This role was open for students from all departments, with an initial screening based on CGPA. This was followed by a screening test which consisted of two parts.- Paper 1 MCQ Test consisting of 30 Questions to be completed in 35 minutes (1 mark for correct answer, -0.25 mark for incorrect answer)There were 3 sections:Section 1: Maths (5 Q)Section 2: Probability(14 Q)Section 3: Coding MCQ(11 Q)- Paper 2 Coding test consisting of 2 questions to be solved in 60 minutes.The maths questions were of JEE level from calculus, trigonometry, geometry, and linear algebra. The probability questions were of medium-hard level and the final coding MCQs were easy. The 2 coding questions were also easy-medium difficulty level.Around 30 students were shortlisted and there were 3 rounds of technical interviews, followed by an HR round.First-round was quant, with several questions on probability and statistics. There were many questions on concepts of expected value, linearity of expectation and probability distributions. Clearing this round is most crucial.
The second round was focused on my CV, and the interview was mainly on the work I had done for my B.Tech Thesis. Several related questions were asked to ensure I had a solid understanding of the option pricing project I did for my thesis. A few questions were also asked on my previous summer internship project.The third was a coding round with a few questions again on my summer intern project and a few questions related to data structures.
For Quant, I mostly prepared 50 Challenging problems in probability and Xinfeng Zhou.
You need to practice solving problems fast, aiming to solve each question in approx 1–1.5 min.
Brainstellar is also good for probability practice. Coding questions asked are mostly easy-medium level and revising questions from interviewbit helps. Apart from that, I was asked a few questions on basic c++ concepts, and some questions on oops.I was also asked some basic questions on stochastic calculus — what is Brownian motion, the notion of volatility in the Black Scholes model, volatility smile etc.
One of the major hurdles was clearing the initial screening test which requires you to solve 30 quant+coding MCQs in 35 minutes.
Unless you have sufficient practice solving questions with time boundedness, you won’t be able to complete the test and score well.
So it’s important to time yourself while solving probability questions. Try to do mock tests to improve your speed of solving.
Anyone who has an interest in math and is good at coding would find this role really interesting and rewarding.
Placements can be really hectic and emotionally draining. It is very important to stay calm and keep working hard even when you face rejections.
Be confident and have faith in the process.

My name is Vembakam Theja and I am currently pursuing an m.tech second year in IIT Kharagpur specialized in mechanical systems design. I did my B.tech in Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University; Anantapur specialized in mechanical engineering with an aggregate of 8.49 cgpa. My schooling and intermediate went in Tirupati itself which is my native place. In SSC, I secured 9.8 GPA and in intermediate, I secured 97.5 %. I have done my B.tech project on friction stir welding which is a unique way of welding technique that improves the fatigue strength of the material compared to other usual welding processes. I did an internship in the Visakhapatnam steel plant in the sector of raw material handling plant. In addition to the sector which has been assigned to me, I have also visited other sectors of the plant where I came to know what all the various processes involved in the making of steel and how exactly steel is manufactured. Currently I am doing my m.tech project on data analytics for fault diagnosis. Using this project we can predict fault in any machine beforehand and can reduce losses to the company. My hobbies are playing chess, listening music and writing fantasy stories.
How did you get into LAM Research? What was the selection procedure?
The company has selected candidates through a Resume shortlisting. That resume shortlisting is based on my projects and skill set (Catia, Creo).
The interview procedure has two rounds
In the technical round, they completely focused on my B.tech and m.tech projects. They asked me all the possible questions in my projects and some mechanical core-related questions.
In HR round they will test you on whether you are greedy towards money or greedy towards skills. They need the guys who are ready to opt for new technologies and new concepts instead of the guys who are greedy for money. They will put you in some situations and ask you how you will handle that situations. For example, they asked me what if a new challenge has been given to you which is completely new to you but we need very good output from you, how can you match up our expected output. Like this, they will put you in some situations and test your approach toward the solution.
You have to be clear about your projects and you should be able to explain your projects in such a way even a layman can understand what you have done.
Be particular about the results of your project, and note down what results you got in your projects, is there any unique thing you added or obtained using your project. For example in my case, in my B.tech project we proved that friction stir welded products are having high strength compared to other welding processes.
Also be thorough with your B.tech core subjects.
The only problem everyone faces is fear. Not only LAM Research but any company does not ask difficult questions. They just ask basic questions about the project and our core subjects. Due to fear or interview pressure, you may tend to forget what you have known and cannot present yourself properly. I reminded myself that they are not aliens and just humans. In my case, I went with the mindset that I am not going to get this job. I had no fear when I went for the interview because I thought when I knew that I am not going to get this job, why to afraid. When you go for a job interview, there is an intention that I need this job, because of that you tend to give diplomatic answers. I just talked with my heart and said what I think. I presented all the knowledge, whatever I knew. I tried to keep a jovial environment, presented myself with whatever knowledge I had and without fear gave the interview. When you forget fear you can completely focus on the questions they are asking. You are free to explain, and it will become a discussion instead of an interview, they also try to correct you and give different perspectives. If I did not know the answer, instead of saying I don’t know, I smartly said that it was a very interesting question; I never thought about it but will surely try to figure out the solution regarding this.
There is no need for an ideal profile. Everyone can apply. Everyone is talented, so the way you present yourself decides your chances of getting selected.
Any specific advice you want to give to the juniors sitting for placements this year.
I think everybody has the knowledge, only because of fear they are not able to present it properly. So try to avoid fear. Keep in mind that you are studying in a prestigious college like IIT Kharagpur, so you will definitely get a job. Do not fear for your job. If not here, there are numerous opportunities outside. Just make sure that you maintain a positive atmosphere during your interview. Be honest but your honesty should not create a negative atmosphere. Try to make them feel good about you. Maintain some humour throughout the interview.
What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention while targeting this profile? (Any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
Projects are very important. Based on the projects only, candidates are shortlisted. The company mainly focuses on the B.tech/M.tech projects. Present the projects in a way that they can understand. Do not make it complicated. Keep it simple to be understood.

I am Renu T Rathod, a second-year M.Tech student in Structural Engineering at IIT KGP. I completed my schooling in Bangalore and did my B.Tech in Civil Engineering from NIT Trichy before joining IIT KGP for my M.Tech. I got placed at Mercedes-Benz Research & Development India during the Phase 1 placement season of 2021–22 and I will be joining the company as a Post Graduate Engineer Trainee(PGET) in Mechanical from August 2022.
2. How did you get into MBRDI? What was the selection procedure?
The company conducted its online test on the 27th of November. It consisted of 40 questions where the first 20 questions were those of General Aptitude and the next 20 were core mechanical engineering questions. 18 students qualified for the online test and they were selected further for the interview process on the 3rd of December. The interview process consisted of 3 stages: the first stage was the Technical interview where there were 3 panelists who asked me to introduce myself first and then asked questions on basic subjects like Strength of Materials, Structural Analysis, and Finite Element Modelling. After this, I had my second interview which was a Managerial interview with one interviewer. He asked me questions about myself, my background and more about my hobbies. He also asked me some basic interview questions like those about my future plans, conflict resolution in the workspace, why I would like to join the company, etc. The third interview was the HR round where the HR representative called me to tell me more about the company, the CTC, the job location and the perks of the job.
3. How to prepare for them?
For the online test, prepare for the General Aptitude section as you would for any competitive exam like GATE with varied topics like verbal ability, permutation and combination, work and time, etc. For the core mechanical questions, keep your foundation throughout all 4 years of engineering very strong because they ask only the basic questions. Next for the Technical interview round, again keep your basics clear as they ask more of “how” or “why” questions than “what” questions. They only try to test your approach to a problem and how you analyze a question rather than what your final answer is. They also asked me questions about FEM and simulations in ABAQUS. For the Managerial interview, prepare all basic HR questions like where do you see yourself in 5 years, tell me more about yourself, your strengths, weaknesses and be prepared to answer questions about your CV.
4. What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company /Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
The only problem that I faced while preparing for the placements was the vastness of the engineering syllabus. Covering the entire syllabus of the four years of engineering is a difficult task but I had already written GATE so I started revising the portions early on and since I had studied all the subjects in prior, I had my basics of civil engineering clear.
5. According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
According to me, all the non-circuital branch students who are interested in research and simulations can apply for this role because they ask the most basic mechanical questions like those included in Strength of Materials and Mechanics of Solids that any non-circuital branch student can easily answer. I am saying this because I myself am a Civil Engineer and I applied for the Mechanical Engineering position.
6. Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for placements this year?
My advice is to not get demotivated or lose hope if you are not selected in any of the initial companies which come because opportunities are always there ahead in your future or fate may call you somewhere where you belong and you will be happy. I also suggest keeping multiple backup options and not relying solely on acquiring a particular position at a particular company but try for multiple companies, write multiple government exams, and also try for an offline recruitment process and never giving up hope.
7. Kindly attach the resume you had during placements (it would be beneficial for the juniors who are looking forward to this role)

My name is Abhay Bhadoriya. I am a final year student pursuing my B-tech in Civil Engineering from IIT Kharagpur.
I have been offered an SDE role in Microsoft in the placement session 2021–22.
I am from Morena, Madhya Pradesh.
My hobbies include singing and playing Table Tennis.
How did you get into Microsoft? What was the selection procedure?
I was placed through campus placements.
So the first step was to submit a resume for Microsoft through ERP and then also we were shared a google form to fill out our details and rating on any coding platform like CodeForces or CodeChef.
After this, all the students with having CG greater than or equal to 7.5 received an online test link.
The test was conducted on codility platform where copy-pasting was allowed even from outside sources, so you can solve questions on your personal IDE and can copy-paste on the codility editor.
There were 2 coding questions and the test duration was 90 minutes
After it, about 45 students got shortlisted for an interview that was to be conducted on Day 1 i.e 1st Dec
There were 3 interview rounds. The first two were technical and the last one was HR.
Technical rounds were quite average in difficulty, where I was given some standard problems to solve, code, and explain the solution to the interviewer.
In the HR round, he told me to ask questions to him. I asked three questions to him regarding the company only and he gave very elaborated answers. After it, I got a call that I have an offer from Microsoft.
Everybody has a different preparation strategy. I will discuss my own.
I have seen that Microsoft doesn’t ask very difficult questions, neither in coding tests nor in technical interviews. So having enough practice with standard questions can lead you to get an offer here. You can solve questions in order of likes on Leetcode i.e from most liked as they are generally standard and Important questions to solve. You can follow this link
LeetCode
I started my preparation when I was not able to secure a CDC internship. so I had about 8 months to prepare for placements and prior to it, I had not much experience in coding. I started practicing from Leetcode only and used to do questions in a time-bound manner. On average, I did 3 questions daily and I think it is enough if you are consistent.
To improve my rating on Codeforces, I used to attend contests. I finally was able to have about 1550 rating and I think this much is okayish.
My primary focus was still Leetcode and I used to attend only contests on Codeforces.
I also started doing Interviewbit when the interviews were near. and I think it is very very important to have gone through every question on Interviewbit. In the 2nd round of my interview, both of the questions asked were from the Array section of Interviewbit. So doing Interviewbit is a must.
Other important things for interviews are OOP concepts and OOD design questions as nowadays many companies are asking about OOD.So having some experience in it will definitely help you
The basics of OS and CN are also important. And should be done before you appear for the interview.
Anyone who likes to solve problems and code them. Even if you don’t have internship experience in the development field, you can still go for it.
I think getting a placement is not at all a very difficult thing to do. I was not able to secure a CDC internship. So if you have not gotten a CDC internship, don’t get disappointed. Just be consistent, keep doing and improving and you will come off with flying colors.

How did you get into MORGAN STANLEY? What was the selection procedure?
Talking about Morgan Stanley specifically, at first, an online test was conducted for all the students who applied for the role. This online test included general and quantitative aptitude questions, 2 coding questions (easy to moderate level), and an SVAR test which is a spoken English assessment, and after getting shortlisted the interview round was conducted. The interview lasted for four rounds including 3 rounds which lasted for about 45–60 minutes, and a final HR round.
The first two rounds were more technical in nature than the last two.
The first round of interviews was a completely finance-based interview where I was asked a lot of questions about my past interns and projects. These questions primarily focused on the understanding of various finance jargon and a thorough understanding of Derivatives and their uses. A few puzzles and prob-stats questions were also asked during the first round
The second round lasted around an hour. The interview was predominantly focused towards my trading strategies and practices in the Indian equity market which was mentioned by me in my intro itself. The latter half of the interview was on DSA where a few coding questions were asked to check the candidate’s coding acumen. In my case, I was also given a guesstimate in the end as well.
The third and fourth rounds were primarily HR rounds with each round lasting around 20–25 minutes.
2. Finance — JC Hull (must read for derivations and proofs), be thorough with all the relevant details in your CV — interns, projects, coursework, etc. Do start reading a business paper daily at least a month before the interviews to get updated with the latest market news and trends.
3. Coding — Interviewbit would suffice. Can practice weak topics from Leetcode as well.
4. Guesstimates — It is always beneficial to practice some cases and guesstimates before sitting for your placements irrespective of your profile. A lot of IIM casebooks have a good set of guesstimates, to begin with. If you are just starting with guesstimates, you can check books like Day One and Case Interviews Cracked.
5. Quant — Must do — Xinfeng Zhou, Heard on the Street, 50 Challenging problems in probability. If time persists, you can check out GFG puzzles and Brainstellar.com as well.
6. For the online test, you don’t need to do something out of the box. For interview purposes, you should prepare/revise basic probability and statistics. Solve a good number of puzzles. Just practice a lot of coding questions, solve some quantitative aptitude questions and that’s it. Prepare your project (the topic really doesn’t matter much but you should know what you’ve done and you have to present it nicely and confidently).
7. Easy to moderate coding questions are enough for the interview but start with brute force and gradually think of better solutions. The most important thing is your thought process and how you are explaining your solution to the interviewer.
8. In the HR round just be yourself and be confident. All the interviewers were really friendly and there is absolutely no need to get nervous. Even if you get stuck on some question they will give you hints and try to help you as much as possible.

I am Tanmay Shah, a graduate of the 2022 batch. I am a student of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at IIT Kharagpur, enrolled in its Integrated MSc. course in Economics. I am offered a full-time position as an Associate (Sales and Trading) in the Fixed Income Division at Morgan Stanley.
How did you get into Morgan Stanley? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process was pretty standard. First, there was an aptitude test consisting of basic aptitude, basic finance, and English. The English section also contained audio and video questions. The test was simple but the recruiters were very selective. So, try to score full marks on the test.
There were, in total, three rounds of interviews (2 Technical + 1 HR). The first round was largely based on the domain knowledge in the fixed income market, some theoretical questions about bond pricing fundamentals, general market/economic news, a couple of brainteasers, and a simple guestimate.
The second round was also technical. They grilled me on my CV and asked some elementary questions about the time value of money. A general idea of the economy etc.
The final and the easiest round was HR. They asked pretty standard HR questions like strengths/weaknesses, Why Morgan Stanley, Why this profile, Why you, etc.
For aptitude: CAT material
Brainteasers: Heard on the Street (must), Xinfeng, Zhou
Guestimate/ Cases: IITB Casebook
Finance: CFA Level 1 material
Apart from these, a good resume is a must because all the shortlisting is done based on resume and CGPA.
What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/profile? How did you overcome this problem?
I am not good at coding and I tried analytics but didn’t like it very much. So, finance and consulting were my only options. I didn’t have any good PORs so I was left with finance. Luckily, that’s what I liked. The problem is that there are not many companies that come for such profiles. It was a hard decision for me to stick to finance when there are ample opportunities and software and analytics. Still, I stuck with my decision and started focusing more and more on finance. I believe it is good to double down on your strengths rather than improve on your weakness because you can never be good at everything.
An ideal candidate for this job is someone who is interested in finance and financial markets, willing to learn and explore different avenues in finance, has an above-average knowledge of finance, and has excellent communication skills. CFA is a “good to have” but not a “need to have”. It is a client-facing job and a collaborative profile so interpersonal skills are also very important.
Prepare for tests before you prepare for the interview.
Be consistent in your efforts before and during the placements.
Prepare a flawless CV and get it reviewed by as many seniors as possible.
Know your CV inside out and backwards.
Don’t underestimate the HR round. It is the easiest round but also easy to mess up.
Do as many mock interviews as you can with your friends and seniors.
Finally, keep calm, sleep well and be confident.

My name is Shikhar Goel. I am currently pursuing M. Tech from IIT Kgp in Thermal Science and Engineering Specialization(ME). I am working on a project with INTEL Co. Ltd which is based on laptop cooling. Apart from that, I have done several projects in CFD. Talking about my achievements I secured AIR 484 in GATE 2021 (ME).
I am Somesh Shrivastava, 2nd-year M.Tech student of Electrical Engineering department under Control Systems Engineering specialization (2020–22 Batch), got placed with OLA Electric during the placement phase-I (December 2021).
2) How did you get into Ola? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process was basically a two round process (as it is case for most of the companies), a written test and interview.
The written test was held online via an exam portal and it was a mix of technical and aptitude questions. Questions were objective type and easy to medium level, UG level questions.The short listing for technical interviews is based on the performance in the written test as well as the resume. Once the written round was cleared then one would be called for the interview round.
Interview was also online and consisted of two rounds, technical round & HR round. Technical round was mostly about one ’s project work and theoretical background related to the project. Technical questions were from those subjects which were related to the project, while the HR round was all about one’s social, professional and soft skills.
For the HR round, try to be calm and polite instead of being nervous . Also, try to make it interesting. These kinds of questions are asked in the HR round: What do you know about the company; Can you adapt to the company’s environment; What do you know about the profile, etc.
Preparing for aptitude and basic Electrical subjects would be enough for the written test, but aptitude needs to be practiced regularly and one should start it well before as it is the easiest part but requires time and dedication to attain speed and perfection. Preparation up to GATE and ESE level is sufficient as most of the questions are GATE or ESE PYQs.
For the technical interview, focus on projects and internships. Preparing one’s project is the most important thing. Know your project well, what was the aim, what was done in the project, how things were done and the theoretical knowledge of each and every subject which was involved in the project work, going through the subjects at least once would be good. U must be well aware of all that has been written in your resume.
HR round is just about oneself and one should practice how to frame answers well according to the situation. This is not an easy thing, but with
enough practice one can definitely express oneself well in front of the interviewer. Many online sources provide such information for free like youtube, various blogs and articles etc. Just surf the internet once and one can easily get some good and well detailed sources.
4) What all difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
One major difficulty many of the students face is where to prepare from, I started to prepare from UG level books, but after giving few tests I realized books were too much for the tests and such detailed theory is not required for the tests. One can find some website which have good objective type questions particularly whose level is same as the written tests. Also preparing for GATE level 1 mark questions from any test series of previous year question papers should be enough.
Also for HR round, youtube would be the best option (in case you do not have any subscription of inverview preparation courses).
People who are interested in working for core Electrical company or people who are interested in working for startups (as startups give challenging environment) can apply for this job.
6) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for placements this year.
Go for roles you are really interested in, do not fall for high salaries or what others are going for. Spending one’s time and energy on a field which one is not well aware of and just started preparing a few months before the
placements just because the field is in trend would mostly result in a waste of time and energy. Better to prepare for roles you are confident about and about which you are sure you can fruitfully dedicate yourself into. Prepare aptitude well and practice regularly well before the placement starts, prepare the theory of subjects of the field you are interested in. Don’t worry about interview from start of your preparation, just focus on doing well in the test first. If you find that you are getting enough time then prepare for interview and try to give some mock interviews.
For tests focus both on your technical and aptitude part. For interviews you can refer to youtube, there is a ton of good content just be confident in the interviews. If you don’t have too many things on your resume then try to highlight the best things on your resume in your introduction.

Brief introduction
I’m Keshav Bagri, a final year undergraduate student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. I’m from Kolkata. I received a job offer from P&G via CDC placements this year for the role of Product Supply Manager.
How did you get into P&G? What was the selection procedure?
After submitting the CV via ERP, I received the details for 2 tests: a psychometric test and if you clear this round, you’ll receive another link from their portal which contains behavioral and situation-based questions. Finally, they released a shortlist of around 25 students for the group interview (which consists of 2 interviewers and 3 candidates in each panel) following which the HR round was conducted with the further shortlisted candidates.
As such it's difficult to find resources for psychometric tests, but there are a few websites that can give you some insights. Mostly, it's something you have to do during the test itself. And behavioral + situation-based questions can be answered by using your presence of mind, your understanding of the concerned domain and practical knowledge. You can try to find something online based on the job description on ERP. In the group interview, the questions they ask are supposed to be answered in such a way that you have to cite a situation from your experience and explain what you did in the essence of the question. Try to be as concise as possible and answer each question within 2–3 minutes on average. Beating around the bush won’t help you much. And if they have further questions or they are unclear about something, they’ll attempt to clarify the same. The other type of questions that they ask usually is wherein you’ve to assume yourself in a given position and try to find possible solutions to the problem with the given set of constraints. In this, you can make valid assumptions but be sure to check with them.
As such, I didn’t encounter any issues. I had experience with team/project management since I was the team manager of TeamKART. So, I was familiar with the relevant things.
FMCGs usually look for people who have techno-managerial experience in the past because the job requires you to understand the technicalities, come up with a solution and then execute the same using the resources available to you. So, if you think you’re good with the fundamentals of your branch and you know to manage things efficiently while being in charge, you should apply for such roles.
The overall process starting from tests, shortlisting and interviews is very unpredictable. You never know why something happened the way it did. But keep fighting, no matter what. Make a group of friends who are targeting profiles similar to you and collaborate on the preparation. Ask your batchmates/seniors to conduct mock interviews towards the end of November, acknowledge their feedback, and act on them. Be confident about every little detail that you have mentioned in your resume. If you think your communication skills aren’t up to the mark, then work towards this. There are a ton of videos online to help you out. And lastly, take as much help as possible from your peers and be in touch with others to prevent yourself from missing any deadline. Managing academics is also tricky but you have to do it anyhow. You’re in one of the best institutions in the country and you’ve worked hard in the last 3/4 years. Now, you just have to assimilate your experience and present it in an attractive fashion, that’s it! Feel free to reach out to me or anyone else for anything that you need. All the best!!! Machake!
What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention while targeting this profile?
They look for technically sound individuals who are capable of efficient decision-making as a manager. So, try to add relevant things to your CV that can help them relate to what they are looking for. In my opinion, hardcore research experience which is not relevant to the industry is something you can think of not mentioning. However, if you think whatever you’ve done has industrial applications, then go ahead.

I am Arnab Maiti, a final year Dual Degree student of the Computer Science and Engineering Department, IIT Kharagpur. I am also the CSE department representative for the academic year 2021–22.
How did you get into Quadeye? What was the selection procedure?
I got into Quadeye (Quant role) through CDC placements. The selection procedure is quite standard. First you have a test on IQ questions. Then on Day-1, they have multiple rounds of interviews.
https://brainstellar.com/ and Heard on the street are two great resources to improve your quant. Also, I was in constant touch with probability and statistics which helped me crack the interview questions.
Although I didn’t start my job yet, from what I gauged it is a high pressure high reward scenario as Quadeye is a high frequency trading firm. HFTs are definitely not for those who are seeking a 9–5 job.
I didn’t start my job yet, so can’t answer this question. As far as CDC preparation is concerned, as long as you have good internet, you can prepare nicely at home.
For Quant role, HFTs usually prefer 9+ CGPA students from circuit departments. So ideally, these students should apply for this job.
Either focus on Software Engineering roles or Quant roles. It is not advisable to try for both at the same time, as both require different preparation. Also, if you have any plans for higher studies, don’t reveal this to the interviewers.

Hi everyone! My name’s Deepanshi Pandey and I am currently pursuing M.Tech(CSE) from IIT Kharagpur. I took part in the placement season of 2021.
How did you get into Qualcomm software? What was the selection procedure?
The process had one test followed by three interview rounds. The test had a coding and an aptitude section. The coding questions belonged to the medium to hard category while the aptitude questions were from an easy to medium category.
The first interview round was a technical round where I was asked about my projects deeply. Then there were questions mostly on operating systems and data structures followed by a medium-level code. The code was to be written on hackerrank and had to pass all the test cases. The second round was conducted within 10 mins of round 1. This also was a technical round which consisted of questions related to system design. They do not expect much during this round from the student and help a lot so that you follow the path correctly towards forming a solution. The third round was the HR round where I was asked situation questions. They also gave me some insights about the company and various teams with which I would have to work.
For placements, leetcode is considered one of the best mediums to prepare for coding as it contains concept-based questions and a huge discussion section. The preparation should be started by the end of April. Initially one should start with at least 2–3 mediums questions a day. The easy questions help a lot in motivating you initially to continue your preparation consistently so they should also be done along with the medium questions. Gradually you should shift to about 7–8 medium questions and a hard question.
Completing 400+ questions in leetcode would make you confident enough to crack the coding rounds of interviews and tests.
The preparation should also consist of mock coding tests which are conducted in various coding websites. This should be done at least once per week sincerely.
Also, a bit of background information about the company can act as a plus point during the interviews.
I live in a small village in Uttarakhand where there is no stable internet connection and a lot of electricity issues. I was facing a lot of difficulties during my coursework. So I had to shift to another place where I could give my placement tests and interviews peacefully.
The students aspiring to work as software developers in the near future should apply for the role. As Qualcomm now wants to extend its software base so there would be a lot to learn with the growth of career in joining the company for an SDE role.
Consistency is the key. Preparation should be done everyday. You should at least complete one question each day even if you want to take a break for that particular day. Also, confidence and good communication skills during interviews are very crucial. Giving mock interviews from various websites or among friends could be good practice.

My name is Jogadenu Kalyanraman, a fifth-year dual degree student of the Department of Electrical Engineering specialized in Instrumentation and Signal Processing. I have done Minor in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering and a Micro specialization in Embedded Wireless System. I am from Hyderabad, Telangana.
I got selected in Qualcomm systems — RFIC profile in CDC placement drive.
Coming to the Qualcomm selection procedure, I have first applied via ERP and then they have conducted a test initially. Every student had to attempt 2 compulsory sections (Aptitude + Programming Basics), post which candidates need to select one among the following 4 sections. (Digital, SW, ML, Communication). Hardware- Digital QP (Digital), Software- SW QP (Computer Science), Machine Learning Systems — ML QP (Machine Learning), Modem, Firmware, Platform Architecture, RFIC, Multimedia system — Communication QP (Communication).
Later, based on our score in the test and our CV, shortlisted people were allotted 10 different panels where each panel belongs to a specific profile like Software, RFIC, etc. As far as I know, no student was shortlisted for more than one profile.
On 30th November 2021, interviews started at 5 PM. For me, there were 2 technical rounds each roughly 50–60 min. The interview was mostly based on Analog electronics, Communication courses, and Design aspects of analog and digital. By 10 PM, roughly all interviews were done. On the 1st December 2021 evening, results were announced.
Firstly, aptitude and basic programming are common for all the profiles. There will be moderate to tough questions from them in the test. Try to contact people who have given Qualcomm tests in CDC for Internships or Placements in the previous year to know the trend of questions in a particular profile.
Decide on which profiles you want to target for your career and its always better to target more than one profile. There will be subtopics related to each Job description describing the required prerequisites.
Then collect the required material from EE & EECE courses, NPTEL courses and Famous courses like Razavi lectures. Go through the concepts and practise the previous year papers too.
Revise fundamentals of electrical and electronics thoroughly like what is a resistor? What is an ideal voltage source? The following three courses are available on YouTube, which covers almost everything about fundamentals.
Students who have good knowledge in Analog design (course content of Analog electronics by Prof. Bibhu Datta Sahoo), Analog and Digital Communication, and Signal Processing.
Try to cover the concepts required at least 2 days before the interviews. Make some tables, short notes, short formula lists and summaries for all concepts based on the requirement.
For the last 2 days, keep your mind clear. Just cover the basics and go through these short notes.
Be confident in the interview, ask twice if you don’t understand the question. Keep interacting with the interviewer, it’s not the right answer that matters, it’s the approach that matters.
Jogadenu Kalyanraman!

Hello everyone; my name is Saikat Mandol. I am a fourth-year undergraduate student of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course. I am a boarder of Lal Bahadur Shastri Hall of Residence. I am from Kolkata, and my hobbies are cycling, playing football, and listening to music. I have been placed at Rakuten Mobile Inc. during the CDC placement session 2021–2022, and this is my last semester at IIT Kharagpur.
How did you get into Rakuten Mobile? What was the selection procedure?
The CDC placement process starts with the registration and initiation of the CV portal (in the CDC tab of ERP) post-Durga Puja in early October. Students are given around two weeks to create and edit their CVs with which they would apply for various companies. Once the CV portal closes, the companies start coming for CDC or accept student applications (through CV application, company portal use, etc., and sometimes a combination of more than one application procedure). Rakuten Mobile is given a slot preferably on Day 1 or Day 2 (this time, they were given a slot on Day 2, implying they would hold the final selection interviews for shortlisted students on December 2 and select the students on the same day; Day 1 begins on December 1). Since the company comes quite early in the interview process, they start their student application process quite early, too (expect them to go for a CV application just after the CV portal closes). Through the initial screening round (internal company selection), the shortlisted students will get a link for further online exam rounds. The online exam consists of quite a few MCQs in the first section, followed by a coding team consisting of two coding questions. The exam is conducted on a Japanese platform (not in Hackerrank, HackerEarth, Mettle, etc., generally used for tests in maximum companies). Their platform has English as the mode of communication. Once the students qualify for the online exam rounds, they will be shortlisted for the final interview round. The interview round consists of 2 rounds and is held on Zoom. The first round is a Technical round, and crossing it would lead you to the final round, the HR round. Finally, after clearing all these exams and rounds of interviews, if the performance is good enough, they will roll out the offer for you, which one needs to confirm their choice (accept or reject) compulsorily by the end of the day.
NOTE: This is the general procedure common to the companies, with only the number of shortlisting exams and interview rounds being a variable from company to company.
Rakuten Mobile comes for the profile of Software Engineer, which consists of the following sub-divisions:
So, the online exam is structured in such a way that it touches all the topics at a level that can be easily solved by students currently pursuing undergraduate engineering degrees. Nonetheless, you need good domain knowledge of the field you have been preparing for, which will take care of the MCQ section. MCQ section can have questions regarding associated concepts, code snippets output, general knowledge about relevant technology and IQ, and reasoning-based questions. Though there will be a lot of MCQs, sufficient time will be provided. For the coding section, you need to be well-versed in Data Structures and Algorithms , not to mention you should practice coding regularly. The coding questions have an easy to moderate difficulty level and can be easily cracked if one is diligent in practice. TIP: Always try to complete the test 100% correctly as quickly as possible. With a large number of people giving the exam, your submission time decides if you are getting shortlisted or not.
My profile was that of Data Science (it is very important to remember that even for the data science profile, there would be an initial coding round to shortlist students for interviews). So, to sit for this role, it is very necessary that one has Machine Learning concepts clear to the very basics, has experience in Python programming at the least, and not to mention a good grasp of maths and statistics. The students would be required to take up some online data science courses to build up their knowledge from scratch and do at least two projects to gain working experience. One alsohas to necessarily do at least one internship in data science, artificial intelligence, or ML roles to get industry and corporate experience to know the ins and outs of what a data scientist must do daily. Every bit of experience counts when one is applying for data science roles. This will count a lot during the interview processes of Rakuten Mobile.
Students are also advised to prepare for the HR round. Being a Japanese company, they will look towards a student’s interest in learning the language and relocating to Japan. They will also appreciate it if you have researched a bit about the company and are aware of Japanese culture and customs. This round is about projecting your interests towards the company and giving them a sense of assurance that their goals match yours. They are very eager to answer questions about the company and its various professional aspects, and also they will happily take up questions regarding Japan. Try to remain disciplined and courteous in how you speak and behave with the interviewers; that goes a long way in making a solid impression. Students might also want to brush up on generic online HR questions.
How would you describe the work culture in your company? How is thework-life balance?
I am still a student at IIT Kharagpur until the end of April and will join the company on 1st October 2022. So, I do not have sufficient information regarding the same. I would request the students check online reviews from websites like Glassdoor.
Let me start by mentioning that I secured a CDC internship at Persistent Systems, a product-based company based out of Pune. This was during the pandemic, so my internship was working from home. The cons of working from home outweigh the pros, in my opinion. The very purpose of training is to give the students a corporate experience before the actual placements, and the fact that we have had to work from home defeats the whole purpose. At the same time, it is true that in an online mode of internship, you are not required to be present and available at all times, with briefing meetings taking place once or twice daily, giving you more time to complete the designated tasks. However, this also means that your managers and mentors in the internship would not be available most of the time to clear your doubts. So, I would not say I have had the most incredible experience working from home, and I would recommend anyone else to opt for the onsite experience. However, it should be noted that it is not a discredit to the company. I was involved in a very industry-relevant project with massive future implications, and I was glad I could contribute to that project.
Given below is the extent of operations of Rakuten Group, Inc.
I should give a short description of Rakuten Mobile Inc. as a company. Founded in 2018, it is a Rakuten Group (established in 1997) company responsible for mobile communications, including mobile network operator (MNO) and mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) businesses, as well as ICT and energy. Through continuous innovation and the deployment of advanced technology, Rakuten Mobile aims to redefine expectations in the mobile communications industry to provide appealing and convenient services that respond to diverse customer needs. They entered the mobile carrier business in 2019 as the fourth carrier in Japan and are a global leader, provider, and innovator of mobile technology and communications platforms, transforming the industry by launching the world’s first end-to-end cloud-native mobile network.
So, anyone aligning with the aims mentioned above and ambitions should look forward to joining this company. In a previous image, I described the roles available under Software Engineer roles and their descriptions. Students who have been preparing dedicatedly for Software and Data Science roles should actively seek to join this company, and students from both core Electronics and Electrical Engineering backgrounds. However, it should be mentioned that while the company opens for all departments, recent history suggests that it selects only circuital department (CSE, E&ECE, EE, MNC) students after the final round. Apart from the professional aspect, I should mention the extra incentives I know many students would be interested in. The CTC offered (I am not at liberty to discuss the figures) is highly competitive for undergraduate freshers with well-structured career development opportunities. I think I have also not yet mentioned that they recruit for their Tokyo office in Japan (if it is not the greatest motivation to join the company, then I do not know what is). So, people who admire Japanese culture, be it their language, anime, food, etc., should look forward to applying to this company. Also, do not forget that Rakuten sponsors FC Barcelona and VIssel Kobe, where Andreas Iniesta still plays football. So they have highly globalized their operations in recent years.
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the CDC Placement Committee members for their selfless and untiring efforts behind the scenes to ensure a seamless and successful internship and placement process. Students must remain in touch with 3 to 4 PlaceComms throughout the process. That would help them clarify their issues and doubts about the process rather than relying upon incorrect or semi-correct information obtained from peers. Your first point of contact should be PlaceComm(s) from your hall of residence, and if not available, any other PlaceComm will do too.
I have seen many people ease up after they get an internship. But work should not stop there. The students should actively learn before, during, and after their internship. Preparation for placements should be continuous and dedicated, spread over a long time. Do not leave any bits while preparing and cover all relevant topics for placements.
Students should never lie in their CVs and interviews. This statement is relatively self-explanatory. CDC asks for proof of involvement regarding everything mentioned in the CV. A red flag in this stage of scrutiny can lead to unwanted problems for the student. Always be thorough with the contents in your CV and be prepared to take extensive questions on their specifics during the interviews.
Before giving exams and interviews, students are advised to have sufficient food and rest, and they should be energized enough to tackle 3-hour continuous sessions. CDC processes are very uncertain regarding how the shortlists are generated, what evaluation criteria the company has decided amongst themselves, and the final results. So, students are advised to accept that they will undoubtedly face rejection along the way. The task of paramount importance is to get over the rejections and disappointments and shift your attention to the next exam or interview.Also, remember that CDC internship performance does not positively correlate with CDC placement performance. One might perform unsatisfactorily during the internship and do quite well in the placement process (like me).
It is very important to realize that your CGPA plays a significant role in CDC processes; hence, one should never undermine the advantage a good CGPA brings to the table. Also, people tend to forget that off-campus presents many opportunities. It is a gold mine if you are thinking about exploring that. One advantage which CDC gives over off-campus processes is that it is quick, reliable, secure, and provides comparatively better compensation.
Jealousy kills a person slowly from the inside. However, it is virtually impossible not to be jealous of your peers around you based on their placements. I would only mention that being in an IIT has already given us an advantage and privilege over other institutes across India based on future career prospects. Understand the importance of it and remember that you might progress higher than a peer you were jealous of in the future. So soak in the experiences, enjoy the journey, and all the best for the upcoming internships and placements. KGPians have historically always been successful in the face of adversity, and as your senior, I know you will too.
YO KGP! Peace!

I am Ayush Khatarkar, a final year undergraduate student of the Department of Chemistry enrolled in its integrated MSc course. I am from Chandrapur, Maharashtra. I will be joining Sprinklr as a Product Engineer at the Gurgaon office.
How did you get into Sprinklr? What was the selection procedure?
I was selected in Sprinklr through the CDC placement process in the academic year 2021–22, Sprinklr was open for all the departments this year.
The first round was an online coding test. No CGPA cut-off was there, hence everyone who applied in the ERP was eligible to write this test. Three coding problems — one easy and two medium-hard — were given to be solved within 90 minutes in Hackerearth platform.
Around 60–65 students were shortlisted for the interviews.
Sprinklr takes 4 interview rounds in general (3 Technical + 1 Culture fit). All rounds were eliminatory and lasted around 45 minutes. The interviews were mostly based on data structures and algorithms, OOPS, OS and DBMS concepts. Some questions were asked on projects and internships from the CV which were of interest to them.
4 students were selected finally.
One needs to have good problem-solving skills and understanding of data structures and algorithms.
Taking the Algorithms course offered by the CSE department is beneficial. Geeksforgeeks is also a good website to learn CS concepts. To practice coding, start solving problems on codeforces.com. Leetcode.com has standard problems which are also helpful for the same.
Giving online contests on this website is also very important. It teaches you to write the entire code, debug and consider the corner-cases too within the timeframe. Practice a lot. Solving all the questions quickly becomes important in placement coding tests because the competition is high.
Make sure you give mock interviews before sitting for actual interviews in placements.
Most top companies look for students from the circuit department or the ones who are exceptionally good in coding. Therefore, to be a relevant candidate, I practiced a lot of programming from leetcode and codeforces. I also improved my CGPA, while learning some concepts such as DBMS and OS.
All the technology enthusiasts and students who love coding should apply for this job.
Study smart, practice a lot, prepare well. Getting selected in a particular company is not in your hands. A lot of external factors play a role in that. All you can do is work hard and improve yourself. Don’t get demotivated as it will affect your preparation. Some days you will feel low, and it’s completely okay. Take a small break and continue your preparation again. You will get good results. Believe in yourself. Make a study group if possible.
Give mock interviews. Try to explain your code as much as possible. Spoon-feed everything to the interviewer; don’t just assume that they will know about it since it’s a basic thing. Communication skills are also important.
Make your CV relevant to the profile you’re applying for. Don’t dilute your CV by adding extra non-related stuff. Also, write only those things which you are confident about.

I am Yashwanth Pavilla from Hyderabad. I finished my B.tech from Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology as an Electronics and Communications Engineer in the year 2019. In my second attempt at GATE, I secured a rank of 859 in GATE 2020 EC and opted for Rf and Microwave Engineering at IIT Kharagpur.
How did you get into Texas Instruments? What was the selection procedure?
Texas Instruments came for hiring through the on-campus CDC process for various domains such as software, hardware analog and digital. The hiring process involved an online test for shortlisting candidates and a 2 step interview that was held late at night. The first interview was for 90 to 100 minutes and the second interview took 45 minutes. The first interview was mostly based on the basics of digital circuits and questions of Verilog HDL, followed by an aptitude question in the end. The second interview was much harder than the first as it included concepts from both analog and digital design even though the job profile is of a digital engineer
We guys from Rf and Microwave usually prepare for job profiles involving RFIC and VLSI (analog and digital). Most of us including myself have made use of NPTEL videos, Professor recommended textbooks, previous year’s online test papers and also made note of topics from the interview experiences of our seniors. Apart from this, many students usually approach private online coaching to clear a few concepts but I didn’t find it necessary. I mainly followed my class notes, tips and sources from my seniors, NPTEL videos and previous papers for both profiles.
For this domain, I would recommend Design of Analog CMOS Integrated Circuits by Behzad Razavi, NPTEL Digital Circuits by Prof.S.Srinivasan, NPTEL Hardware modeling using Verilog by Indranil Sen Gupta
Anyone who is passionate about VLSI design either analog or digital, who is capable of working a little bit harder to prepare for the interview, online test and beyond after joining and of course a little street smartness and aptitude is required
My advice is to not think of the interview result or about the selection process while preparing for it. Try not to be anxious, days before the selection process. Keep your mind calm and peaceful because worrying about the job doesn’t help you fetch the job. Try to help your friends in clarifying doubts and take help from them, be patient, be nice to people and maintain a positive atmosphere around you. At the end of the day it is always you vs you..so always try to do better than what you are doing today and one day when you will look back it will all make sense and you will know what I am talking about
My Best Wishes…

I’m Arka Mandal. I am a dual degree student from the Mechanical Engineering department. I got placed at Tiger Analytics in the Data science role during the December placements.
My name is Samanvitha. I’m a 5th year dual degree student from the Department of Civil Engineering with specialization in Environmental Engineering and Management. I’m from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
How did you get into Tiger Analytics? What was the selection procedure?
I got selected in Tiger Analytics — Data Science profile in the CDC placement drive. The company appeared on Day-3 of this year’s placement session and the role was open to all the departments.
Coming to the selection procedure, there were 2 rounds of shortlisting tests. In the 1st online shortlist round, there were 2 sections (all questions were of MCQ type):
1. Aptitude including quantitative aptitude, +2 level maths (few questions from conic sections) and general aptitude.
2. Objective type questions on programming (like finding errors or output of the code, some theoretical, etc.). Most of them were of easy-moderate level but one needs to manage their time well to be able to get shortlisted for round 2.
In the 2nd shortlist round, there were 2 sections. 1st section had 3 questions (moderate level coding questions) out of which 2 are to be attempted and 2nd section had 2 questions (moderate-hard level coding questions) out of which 1 is to be attempted and the whole test must be completed in 1 hr. The platform was hackerearth.
Then, based on test scores and CV, students were shortlisted for the interview.
It was about a 75–90 min elaborate interview, divided into 3 segments. The 1st section is more like a CV round which involved deep discussion of projects and internships that dealt with data and programming, and in between, related technical questions were also asked. The 2nd section is a coding round. A problem related to arrays was asked which was of moderate-hard level. In the 3rd section, some guesstimates, logical puzzles, and questions related to probability, statistics, permutations and combinations were asked.
Round 1 test- For aptitude and puzzles, you can use practice questions from Geeks for Geeks, Quantitative Aptitude, LR/DI by Arun Sharma, or any other good resource which covers almost all kinds of topics and problems, along with brushing up on Probability and Statistics courses. Taking time-based aptitude tests also helps. Practice and time management is the only key.
Medium and hard puzzles on Brainstellar, Heard on the Street, 50 Challenging Problems in Probability, and Xinfeng Zhou are other good resources. Questions were like watered-down versions of CAT questions. You should Practice CAT/GMAT questions for quant. There were also abstract figure-type questions. For coding MCQs, basic data structures and algorithms should be revised.
Round 2 test- For coding questions, I just practiced all example problems from Geeks for Geeks and questions from Hackerrank (as it has a similar interface to almost all coding tests), since I was short of time. Interviewbit is also a good option. Previous year questions and company-wise questions might also give you a better idea. You can also practice coding questions on Leetcode with a focus on medium-difficulty questions.
Interview- Know your CV well. Prepare puzzles from popular sites like geeksforgeeks, besides others. I was asked 2 basic coding questions, so practice solving a coding question in an interview setting, i.e. solving a question while explaining your thought process.
A problem which I faced, not specifically for this company, but the whole process in general is that due to the process being conducted online, the companies’ test schedules were quite hectic once the interviews had started. Also, just staring at computer screen for the whole time can be somewhat depressing.
Tiger analytics has services/projects both in the space of ML/AI and Analytics. I came to know from a senior working there, that there are options for a new hire to work in both analytics stuff(dashboarding/generating insights and reports) or in ML/AI projects. Anyone who has an interest in data science, math, coding, and problem-solving can consider this job. Given that the company has business in multiple verticals, lateral shifts in the job should also be possible.
If possible, try to take easy and less work-loaded courses and electives in your placement semester, in case you’re flexible with your choices.
Do not indulge yourself in several resources. Choose some wisely and be consistent.
Stay calm and focused. Surely you’ll do better.
The placement season can be really frustrating and nerve-wracking at times. Even more so during the online scenario, when you are probably holed up in your home, with little interaction with your friends. It is imperative that you don’t lose your confidence after interview/test rejections. It is very important that you retain your confidence and not go for any role which might come your way but is not your interest. Also, practice giving interviews with your friends to get habituated with the feeling for when the actual thing comes. Even if you aren’t placed with the first few days, don’t be hopeless. You’ll eventually get placed.

My Name is Bharat Chaudhary. I am a fifth-year undergraduate student at the Department of Mathematics enrolled in its five-year integrated MSc Course of Mathematics and Computing. I am a Border of Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya Hall of Residence. I am from Hanumangarh (Rajasthan).
How did you get into Wells Fargo? What was the selection procedure?
So Wells Fargo came in CDC placement Tests in the early phase. The test was around 23 October. There were two roles to apply one was analytics and one was Technical Associate which is similar to software engineer.
The online Test was on the Amcat Platform.
There were three sections in the online test. For both profiles The test was the same.
The first section was English and second section was Aptitude and the final section has 2 coding questions. One coding question was medium and one was difficult. It is very important to attempt both questions even if you can’t get all test cases passed you can go for partial test cases as well.
So on the basis of this two different shortlist was made from the same test.
There were two rounds of Interviews. The first was technical and managerial. It went for more than one hour. They first asked me to introduce myself then they asked me to go through my projects one by one. They asked questions about my projects like why I use this algorithm what was the complexity, can you explain the algorithm. After this, they asked about my 2 month internship project. They asked me questions of the spring boot framework because I have used that in my internship. They also asked me about layers of the spring framework, what task I did in my internship, which database I used and why.
After that they gave me two medium coding questions, one was based on the array and one was based on sorting. They also asked me to write pseudo code on google docs with screen sharing so it is important to prepare for code writing as well. Then they asked me questions about oops and operating systems. These were basic questions. Then some managerial questions were given on some situations and how I would handle things, so for this just gave the answer which you think is correct and not to impress the panelists.
After 1st round, there was The last round of the HR round. The HR round went for 10 minutes. She asked me about my background, my strengths, my motivation in my family.
After that I got my confirmation that I was selected by the company.
First of all you should know whatever you are writing in your CV. You should revise all your projects thoroughly because they will ask in-depth questions about your projects in the internships.
Second thing which I think is important to do in a sde role is at least having one backend project based on the spring framework. Most Companies use spring boot as primary framework and you should also know about javascript, databases. Highlight these things in your CV so that panelists ask questions on this and be prepared for this.
Now coming to most important part coding, try solving all medium level problems on leetcode. Go through all gfg interview experience of that particular company. Leetcode is more than enough for your coding round and interviews. Complete all your concepts in DSA from geeksforgeeks it is the best resource available. While practice give your concentration on time complexity and space complexity. Try solving 3–4 good coding problems on daily basis.
For oops,os,networks you can refer to some good youtube channels for basic understanding, you can read them from articles on gfg or you can take the basic course of gfg for all these subjects where you can prepare well for interview.
I can’t describe much but whatever info I got from my seniors work-life balance is best in wells fargo.
I would say apply in every profile because we all are not industry experts, they will ask basic questions on profiles. But ideally for applying in Wells Fargo one who has strong hold on coding and projects, has a CG above 8. CG is very important. In roles like SDE or Analytics, your PORs will not matter at all. If you have less CGPA then you should have the best coding among your batchmates that thing only can ensure good placements in SDE roles. But in the last CGPA matters, a lot and good projects in CV will increase your chances.
plan well and start early. Two things that are most important in your life is time and management so start preparing coding practice early even when you are doing your internships because even if you get a PPO, coding will help you in off-campus placements as well.
So starting early and planning well means deciding which topic to start first, how many questions I will be solving on daily basis, and following that plan. Consistency is very very important in any race. Stay with your good friends, avoid negativity and just believe in your plan and strategy, believe in yourself. Avoid high use of social media. Plan your relaxation part as well. Listen to songs, walk daily, start early in the day and take good sleep and talk to your family for relaxation the most. That’s all and All the very best to people for upcoming placements and internships.

Hello! I am Arnab, a final year dual degree student from the Dept. of Mining Engg. IIT Kharagpur. I sat for campus placements and got an offer from Zomato in their Engineering team as a Product Engineer.
How did you get into Zomato? What was the selection procedure?
Zomato visited our campus and offered 4 profiles vis Core Engineer, Product Engineer, Business Analyst and Associate Product Manager. Core Engineering and Product Engineering profiles were basically Software Development Engineering Profiles. First, we had a Coding assessment, wherein we were asked 4 questions and they had to be solved within an hour. People from all the departments with CGPA > 7.5 were allowed to take the test. Those questions were of medium difficulty level.
Then a form was floated wherein we were asked to fill in some of our experiences in Coding, Ratings in various Competitive Programming sites and our Github profile. Around 20–30 people were shortlisted for the final interview which was to happen on Day 2 of campus placements.
The interview consisted of only one round. This round was mainly focused on data structures and algorithms; I was asked to explain one of the projects that were listed on my resume, and some discussions on that followed. I was asked some questions on my internship project and CS topics were also asked. This interview lasted nearly 1.5 hours. There was no HR round as such.
I would recommend solving coding problems from websites like Codeforces, Codechef, Hackerearth, etc. this certainly would give an edge to the problem-solving skills that are generally asked for this profile in various companies. While interviewing, communicate your thoughts effectively and use the hints provided by the interviewer along the way. And do discuss the approach with the interviewer and start coding only when the interviewer seems to understand your approach and agrees about the same.
Do go through important CS topics like OOPS, OS, DBMS and try to learn SQL, this definitely would help along the way.
Prepare the CV real well, make sure you know every bit of the stuff that’s written on the CV, and can confidently answer any questions asked from the CV.
Though there was no HR round for me in Zomato, preparing the HR questions beforehand is important as well.
Lastly, put a smile on your face and even if you are under immense pressure (which you would be) make sure you keep your calm.
Not sure about this! Yet to embark upon this journey and discover the culture at Zomato. With the understanding I have, I feel Zomato has a very open culture and a lot has been going on at Zomato lately, so I sort of expect to work on pretty exciting stuff ahead.
While on campus, we would have gotten a chance to prepare along with friends which would have been a big plus.
Imminent network issues while working at home has been a big issue.
Anyone who is inclined towards pursuing a career in tech should consider this. They don’t really bother about the department, so everyone can apply.
Campus Placements is going to be a pretty hectic affair. Please refrain from Overthinking. It’s always beneficial to form a group of 3–4 friends targeting similar profiles and prepare together for the placements.
Don’t be afraid of rejections, prepare well for stuff you have ahead of you. Don’t blindly apply to any and every profile, rather target a profile or two and prepare for those meticulously.
Do practice communicating your thoughts effectively, which is very crucial. Have some mock interview sessions, and prepare your CV really really well.
Get in touch with some seniors and make sure you get your CV reviewed by them. Give it your best and leave the rest!
Rest assured all this gonna make sense in the end.
Wishing you guys all the best!

Hey, I am Vishvesh Pandya, a fifth-year undergrad in the Department of Mining Engineering. I am from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I will be joining Zomato as an Associate Product Manager.
Overall, there were two rounds during the placement session 20221–22 for Zomato. For most of the companies that come for the product roles(APM), the first round is generally deck submission, but for Zomato, it was different. First-round was the online test which consisted of two parts:
Around 20 students were shortlisted and there was only one round of Interviews which lasted for 1–1.5 hours. Questions asked during the round were:
Advice: They prefer the candidates to have a genuine discussion and not act too formally. During my Interview, after initial 5–10 mins, the Interviewer told me that I was being too formal in the way of talking and in dressing sense. He told me to remove the tie and blazer, be in a bit chill mode, and have a very normal conversation instead of the typical setup we follow during the placement Interviews.
Product Management is a new role; the first and foremost thing is understanding what product management is and why you want to go into the product management field. Once having clarity on that, you can start preparing for the same and the process seems relatable.
Most of the companies that visit campus during placements for product roles have majorly two rounds:
Deck Submission:
Here, the key to mastering is just practice and practice. Start participating in various online product case competitions and eventually, it will help in learning how to make a good deck. The deck size varies from company to company, but it will be mainly between 4 to 10 pages and keep that in mind while you practice. Some competitions you can refer to are PM school weekly challenge, ProductFolks “Product Teardown”, ProductFiniti case competitions, etc.
Points to keep in mind for the deck:
Product Case Round:
Find a group of 3 people (minimum) to practice cases as each will have a different point of view towards the same situation and will help improve the thought process.
Before you start with product cases, it is advisable to begin with consult cases as it helps understand the basic things that revolve around case solving. Here, majorly there are 4–5 types of product cases that are asked at an APM/Product Analyst level:
Here, start with RCA first, as it will help in learning how to define a problem, break a problem, and structure your overall thoughts. After this, start with product thinking cases by identifying the apps/problems you face in your daily life. At last, if you have sufficient time, then go through the other cases as well, which were mentioned above.
Various online resources which will help in preparation are as follows:
Youtube Channels:
Website:
Books:
The most basic questions asked in the Interviews are what product management is and why product management. At the first look, these questions seem simple, but the Interviewer puts a lot of effort into understanding the core reason and motivation. So, do focus on these questions as well.
To speak honestly, at every point during the preparation phase, you will face different challenges and there is no ideal way to deal with them. You have to find your own way and keep moving forward.
One of the major problems that I faced after seeing a lot of mock Interviews on youtube channels and reading books was that I got very mechanical in solving the cases, and it looked like I was following specific steps and answering to that only. This doesn’t look good from the Interviewer’s perspective as the candidate has just mugged up the steps and followed that only. Even the worst part was that all the friends I was practicing with were also doing the same thing and we didn’t notice that it was a mistake. It got identified when I did the first case with my Flipkart Buddy once I was shortlisted after the deck round. So, to overcome that, you have to create your own structure for every type of case you do and keep improving it from the inputs you get from different people instead of just following the set method given in the books or online resources. One month of preparation during Flipkart Buddy sessions has been the best learning experience for me and it boosted my confidence through ample practice. If you need help with that, you can further contact me and I would be happy to help with that.
The other problem that I faced during the initial days was finding a partner with whom I could dedicatedly solve the cases. At that time, most of the people are looking for more than 3–4 profiles in the placements and won’t be able to dedicate that much to the practice. During this time, I came across the “Stellar peers” website and it helped me find like-minded people. In this website, go to Practice -> Mock -> Link Calendar. Once you link your calendar, you will be able to see the community along with their desired timing slots for mocks. Even you can also create your slots and connect with people to practice cases.
One of the best and worst things about this role is that it doesn’t require any specific skills or degrees. As far as I have seen and heard, most companies don’t look for the things like department, CG, POR, etc. as well, so it’s open to all. You show your skills and ideas through the deck and get shortlisted without any other factors affecting it. And same goes for the Interviews as well; show your skills at the moment and get the job.
The core of product management revolves around solving user problems. And to do this, you will be working with a different set of people from different teams having diverse skillsets. And obviously, you can’t be an expert in each of them. Also, the work is very dynamic, i.e., one day, you will be roaming around to talk to users, and on other days you will be explaining CEO about a new product that will change the face of a company. So, one thing that will help deal with all the diverse challenges is just being curious. If you are curious enough, you will be able to learn things at a time. So, those who are curious, who want an everyday challenge, who like taking ownership of things, and who like to influence people without authority should ideally apply for the role.
The most important thing to crack the placements is to stick to your own goals. There will be a lot of hassle going around you during that time, like tests, shortlists, people changing their profiles, companies not coming, etc. It’s a part of the process, it will come and go. Do not compare with others, be confident, prepare well and believe in yourself. Also, keep in touch with at least one friend who is not from IIT KGP who will help you calm yourself and with whom you can have normal discussions. Because during that time, the atmosphere gets a little toxic and competitive as most people will be in a placement race.
One thing for the folks who are preparing for product roles, start practicing the cases as soon as you can because there is no alternative to learning case-solving apart from practice. Many times you will feel after seeing the mock videos that “Aree yaar…Yeh to Kar lunga (I will be able to do it)” but trust me, until and unless you don’t do it on your own, you won’t be able to identify and undo your mistakes.
Keep Calm. Machake. All the Best!

I am Sumit Kumar, a 4th-year dual degree student from the department of Agricultural and food engineering with an M.Tech specialization in Artificial intelligence and machine learning applications at IIT Kharagpur. I am from Bhiwani, Haryana. I have an interest in programming and web development. I am quite engrossed in watching and playing several sports and have been an integral part of IIT Kgp’s cricket team for the past 3 years.
2) How did you get into AB InBev? What was the selection procedure?
Test round -
Group discussion round -
Some possible topics of discussion can be:
Interview round -
Prepare all types of questions mentioned above. This stage is much easier for ABI as compared to most of other companies.
Go through their website and attend the PPT to have an idea about the company.
Prepare your CV in detail and be sure of all the points that it reflects. As the interview will also have HR questions like your introduction, why do you want to join ABI? Your long-term career goals? etc., prepare these questions as well.
Proactiveness and ownership is highly valued in the interview. PORs, EAAs could give you such instances to cite from. You can also justify this using any past internship experience or project, whatever you are comfortable with.
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
I could not attend the PPT and also forgot to go through their website before the GD. Fortunately, I was able to handle the GD deftly. But I sensed that my peers used their knowledge about the company to their advantage. So doing the 2 tasks mentioned above will definitely help you.
I visited their website before the PI and went through some recent articles. It helped in answering some of the questions. Reading about beer and the beer industry will also benefit you in structuring your answers in a more professional way. Driving the conversation forward is important in the interview, so try to be elaborative in your answers.
ABI comes with an open profile. They assign students to live projects in their organization partially based on their past projects and internships. Therefore, past projects will have a slight effect on the internship task assigned.
Based on interest, students inclined towards data science and web development can apply. Also, students with good PORs and leadership experience targeting managerial roles in the future can apply for this profile.
6) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year?
The primary focus should be on acing your coding tests. Preparations for them would be similar for the majority of the companies, so that needs to be settled first. Then you can move on to preparing for interviews and further selection processes of the companies you wish to target.
7) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
In the first place, describe all your projects and previous internships thoroughly in your CV. That will have a substantial impact throughout the process.
Next, for some situation-based questions, like — Tell me about a time when you handled a disagreement as a team, tell me about a time you failed and what learnings you got from it, etc., having suitable PORs and EAAs where you dealt with such situations would really help.
Lastly, fill the entire page for your CV. Try to find anything that seems valuable enough to be added to it. Filling it with the least significant points will still be more cordial than leaving empty spaces at the bottom.

Introduction :
I’m Amay, a final year undergraduate student of Mathematics and Computing at IIT Kharagpur.
I got into AlphaGrep via the CDC Internship Program. IIT Kharagpur’s placement cell (known as the CDC) organised the on-campus hiring for various companies.
AlphaGrep had an online test consisting of two sections, coding and MCQ.
The coding section had three relatively easy questions and could be done easily in time.
The concepts required were simulation/implementation, binary indexed trees and greedy.
The MCQ section had 45 questions to answer in thirty minutes. Almost all the questions were based on C++ fundamentals, with some sprinkling of Object Oriented System Design based questions. Considering the evident time crunch, this was something one had to focus for to do well in.
AlphaGrep shortlisted 8 students for its SDE profile. From what I observed, they seemed to be high CGPA students from the CS/MA departments.
To get shortlisted, I recommend having a moderate grip over Data Structures and Algorithms (Codeforces 1600+ rating) combined with a sound knowledge of the C++ language.
AlphaGrep’s code base is primarily in C++ and hence they need employees who understand the language well.
Unfortunately, at least for the internship drive, it seems that AlphaGrep prefers relatively higher CG students from MA/CS.
To crack the interview, I’d recommend learning C++ class design. Having a good grip of Object Oriented Class Design in C++ along with a thorough understanding of C++’s fundamentals should be enough to get you through. Knowledge of Operating Systems theory will be icing on the cake.
I wasn’t so comfortable with C++ class design before AlphaGrep’s interview, but I studied once I got the shortlist and tried to understand as much as I could. The fact that I knew a fair bit of C++ helped in learning about principles and good practices of class design more quicker.
I recommend anyone who
1. Is interested in the High-Frequency Trading industry
2. Wants to be around knowledgeable, passionate and smart people
3. Is interested in C++ development and has a decent grip over data structures and algorithms
4. Enjoys open culture, being rewarded massively for hard work and fast-paced, rapid learning
To apply for this job.
What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
Coincidentally heavily linked to my answer for advice. As obnoxious as this sounds, the only thing (CV-wise) that’d really help for profiles like these is to put anything closest to
“Department: Computer Science and Engineering
CGPA: 10"
The more you deviate from the above two lines on your CV, the harder it’ll get for these exclusive HFT profiles. (Exceptions exist!)
Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year?
One specific thing I can think of as of writing this — For many Day 1/2 SDE profiles, Be good at what you do. Know as much as possible of algorithms, languages and computer science theory as you can.
Knowledge trumps past internships, projects and other CV points. No weak CV can stop you if you are proficient at what they want you to know.

Hi! My name is Sahil Shailesh Pedamkar and I am a third-year undergraduate student from the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.
I am currently doing my Summer Internship at Amazon Development Center, Bangalore.
How did you get into Amazon(SWE)? What was the selection procedure?
AMAZON visited our campus on Day 3. There were a total of 2 rounds.
My communication skills were not strong enough and I was not able to properly convey my thoughts. So during the months of June and July, I had made a habit of speaking with my family members in English. My brother would take my mock interviews after dinner. I also used to watch technical interviews on YouTube during lunch and dinner which helped in removing my fear of interviews. My Best Friend would also take my mock interviews through google meet where he would ask me approaches for solving coding questions and would also give some important pointers. I also had a senior (who was previously an intern at AMAZON and successfully got the PPO) who provided me some valuable tips for acing the interview.
As a result, my Interview was a success.
I owe my family, seniors and best friends a great debt of thanks for their support and encouragement.
Anyone who is interested in Software roles should apply for this job. Your department would not act as a barrier therefore anyone can apply.
Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year.
What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
ALL THE BEST GUYS AND MACHAAKE AANA !!

Hello! I am Sadha Sivam M, a 3rd-year undergraduate student from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. I am from Madurai, Tamilnadu. I am currently doing my summer internship at Bajaj Auto. Looking forward to sharing my experience!
How did you get into Bajaj Auto? What was the selection procedure?
I applied to Bajaj Auto through the CDC Internship portal.
The selection process:
The selection process involves 2 rounds of tests and 2 rounds of interviews.
Round 1 — Aptitude and Technical Assessment:
This test comprises 2 sections — Aptitude (Analytical Reasoning, Quantitative, English) and Technical.
The Aptitude section was quite simple, practicing regular aptitude questions from various sites online will be more than sufficient to score well in this section. The technical section, as anyone would expect, was the complicated one. The questions were asked from IC Engines, materials, failure theories, thermodynamic cycles, fluid mechanics, etc. Revising class notes of all the core courses and practicing GATE questions would be helpful to answer this section.
If you are shortlisted in the technical assessment you will receive a link for a Psychometric assessment which is the second round of the tests. It doesn’t require any special preparation. It is enough to be consistent with your answers throughout the questionnaire.
Round 2 — Interview(Technical and HR):
The first round was the technical interview. After finishing my introduction I was asked to pick my favorite project from my resume and explain it. The interviewers interrupted and asked questions during my explanation. They also asked a few conceptual questions based on the other projects on my resume. The interview lasted for around 20 minutes and I was shortlisted for the HR round.
In the HR round, the interviewer asked a few general questions and it was more about whether I was interested to work in the company. I would like to give only a couple of advices for the HR round — Express your interest to work in the company and at the end when the interviewer asks if you have any questions to ask, do ask a question or two about the company or any job-related queries.
As I wasn’t a Dual Degree student, I faced difficulties while preparing for the technical assessment. A few topics like IC engines, failure theories, etc, are taught only in the 3rd year, hence it was quite challenging for me to prepare these topics for the test. I took the help of various GATE preparation resources to get an understanding of these topics which helped me during the test.
Anyone who is into core mechanical/electrical engineering should apply for an internship at Bajaj Auto. If you think you are good with the fundamentals of your branch and enjoy working in the core field you should go for it. It is an advantage if you have projects/interns in the core field.
What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
Mentioning projects related to core, research interns in the core field, any other intern(at a startup), or research society involvements(TeamKart, AGV, etc.) in the CV could help you immensely during the interview. Having any of these in your resume will help you to steer the interview to the areas in which you are comfortable.
The overall CDC internship process is unpredictable, it can become extremely cumbersome and hectic. From my personal experience, if you are someone who wants to pursue core, patience is something you will require the most. You will see your non-core friends getting shortlisted and receiving offers everyday and even, some of your friends in core who have a little experience might get a good offer from a non-core company, these little things could make you anxious and might dent your confidence, but it is very important for you to back your decision and stay true to your intent. At any point in time don’t get into the fear that you aren’t good enough, just be confident and keep going! All the Best!

Hi, I am Suryadeep Mandal. I am a fourth-year undergraduate student in the Department of Electrical Engineering. I am currently an intern at Bajaj Auto in its R&D EEE Department. My project here is on the accurate calculation of power losses in a motor controller for varying drive cycles.
There was an initial MCQ test based on which shortlisting was done for the interview. The test consisted of English, General Aptitude, and Technical questions. For Electrical Engineering, technical questions were mostly from Power Electronics and Electrical Machines and were either theory-based or involved one or two small calculations. A few questions were also from Basic Electronics.
After shortlisting, there were two rounds of interviews –
Technical Round — General questions were asked from Basic Electronics and Electrical Machines. I had written in my CV that in a project I had designed a few circuits for the safety of automotive systems, so they told me to show them those circuits and asked me a few specific questions based on those (Relay Drivers, PWM, etc.)
HR Round — After the technical interview, I received a call for the HR round within thirty minutes. HR first asked me to go through my CV and justify why I was suited for the internship role. Then, he asked a few questions like why I was not going for any other automotive company, what my future plans were, etc.
After the HR round, I received a call from the CDC Representative about my selection by Bajaj Auto within an hour.
For four-year students, revising the coursework on Electrical Machines would help. It would be great if you can utilise the rest of the summer vacation from now on and learn about Power Electronics. For five-year students, revising Electrical Machines and Power Electronics would be very helpful. A project will certainly provide you with an edge over others in the interviews. For those of you who do not know, Prof. Dipankar Debnath has some projects in these fields and is very approachable, so you can try to get a project under him.
Instrumentation guys do not have either Electrical Machines or Power Electronics in their coursework, so you have to work a bit harder during the summers studying both these subjects if you want to crack the test. Do not be worried though, questions are fairly easy so you need not go into much depth.
For the technical interview, be thorough with your CV and be sure that you understand each and every term that you have mentioned in it as they might also ask questions from some unrelated projects just to check your confidence and depth of knowledge (happened to a friend and co-intern of mine).
For the HR interview, you may watch some interview videos on YouTube, or read HR interview questions on Google. It does not need much extra preparation though. In the end, just be yourself!
I had to study Power Electronics on my own, while also parallelly studying Digital and Analog electronics for other core profiles. I had a little less time as I was involved in a competition for most of my summers. I used GATE books to study the basics of Power Electronics, as well as revise Electrical Machines.
A few more difficulties I faced -
During the test, there was a time crunch, and there were almost seventy-five questions to be solved within an hour. There was also negative marking so I had to be cautious while answering the questions.
During the HR interview, I faced some network fluctuations but the interviewer was very supportive and ultimately my HR interview was conducted over a phone call.
If you are interested in core electrical engineering and automotive systems, you should apply for this internship. There are projects given to interns here in Electrical and Mechanical R&D, Manufacturing, Materials, and Engineering Operations (involves robotic automation, embedded systems, AI, etc.) for those of you interested in the core.
As mentioned earlier, if you have done any project in core EE or ME, it will be a great value addition to your CV. You can also mention any self-projects that you might have undertaken in the summer.

Hello everyone, I am Abhranil Das, a final year UG student from the department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, enrolled in it’s dual degree course.
How did you get into Cisco? What was the selection procedure?
So, the selection process consisted of 1 online coding round, 2 technical interview rounds and 1 HR round.
The coding round consisted of 2 DSA questions, both of them being of medium level leetcode. There were 15 MCQs on topics spanning across networking, core computer topics like OS and all.
The 1st interview round was supposed to be 45 mins but in my case it got stretched to over 1 hour because of repeated connectivity issues. This interview consisted mostly of medium easy level DSA questions from topics like binary search and a very standard DP question. Also got asked a lot of questions on OS, computer networks, dbms etc.
The 2nd round lasted only 20 mins or so and It was a project discussion round. The interviewer asked me to describe one of my projects from start to finish and how it can be optimized, how it might be scaled and all.
The 3rd round has a HR round. It consisted of questions like where do I see myself 5 years down the line, name some Cisco products, why do u want to join Cisco. The round ended with a discussion about the stipend and my preference for work location.
Be thorough with all your DSA problem solving skills. Interview bit and Leetcode are possibly the best resources out there to prepare for coding rounds. Apart from coding it is essential to have an understanding of the core CS topics like DBMS, OS and networking(Cisco focuses on networking a lot, I don’t think other companies focus a lot on this). This helped me to score some additional brownie points.Also I participated in CF and Atcoder contests regularly which certainly developed my problem solving skills, but I didn’t focus a lot on those contests.
The difficulty with preparing for a profile like SDE is not actually the lack of resources but it’s quite the opposite, There are too many resources to make a beginner puzzled as to where to even start. The best solution will be to focus on just one particular resource and trust it blindly and unless you are able to solve a good chunk of the single resource you started with don’t look to anything else as it will confuse you more. That’s the strategy I followed and personally I would recommend leetcode and later on for revising, solve InterviewBit.
Anyone having good problem solving skills and the ability to grasp things quickly, as things change really fast in the software field and one would need to adapt and be flexible enough to adapt to these changes.
What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (Any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
Have good projects on our CV. Don’t just keep hoping to get a project from a professor or some other place, just start working on some self projects if you are not getting positive replies.(Fun Fact :- All the projects on my CV were self projects) Don’t just keep hoping to get a project from a professor or some other place, just start working on some self projects if you are not getting positive replies.
Along with focusing on DSA , do put a heavy emphasis on core CS concepts. These are the topics almost nobody does and hence if you are prepared with these it will give you an advantage over others. DSA questions which get asked in interviews and tests are not crazy tough, the time one spends on solving tough questions on CP platforms could be used to study these topics.

I am Vinit Raj, a third year undergraduate from the department of Computer Science and Engineering and I will be interning at D.E. Shaw this summer for a period of two months.
How did you get into DE Shaw? What was the selection procedure?
I applied through the official CDC portal and after cv shortlisting there were two phases, Online coding round on Hackerrank and then interviews on Day1. The coding round had 3 questions on DSA and solving two were sufficient to move on. There were two interviews, one based on DSA and other on OOPS, SQL, ProbStat, DSA. Do note that SQL and ProbStat are questioned only after asking the student if they know it.
Solving Interviewbit/leetcode might not be sufficient for online coding rounds and consistent practice on other platforms like codeforces is recommended. For SQL, basic queries are asked and hackerrank has a good collection on that. For OOPS our department covered it in the Software Engineering course but GFG has good articles to follow through and prob stat is basic higher secondary level.
Since I was practicing only DSA I did not give much attention to SQL/ProbStat/OOPS so I did fumble a bit in interviews but I did manage to answer enough and my strong performance in the online round probably helped.
Anyone targeting Software Roles should apply for the position also if they have interest in finance but no experience can get the chance to learn something new.
For software profiles the difficulty level of questions is increasing so I would recommend at least some practice on websites like Codeforces. Be careful while filling preferences for interviews and try to get ample sleep the day before.
Mention any project related to the software domain and explain your part clearly if it was a group project as interviewers tend to be thorough if they feel like asking about it. Also any achievements in coding competitions like kickstart can be mentioned.

My name is Dibyendu Biswas. I am a 3rd-year undergraduate student of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course. I am a boarder of Pt. Madan Mohan Malvia hall of residence. I am from Kolkata, West Bengal.
How did you get into Hotstar? What was the selection procedure?
I got an offer from Disney+Hotstar on Day 3 of the CDC Internship drive.
Selection Process:
1. Tests: As far as I remember there were 2–3 DSA questions, and some MCQs. 2. Interviews:
There were a total of 3 rounds including the HR round.
1st Round: It was pretty simple, they asked to implement the data structure SETS using the concepts of OOPS in any language you want, there were some additional constraints to it like it can also store special characters, I don’t remember them clearly but it was not that difficult. Then the interviewer asked some basic questions on OOPS and some questions on my projects like…..Explain MVT structure in Django.
2nd Round: It was a DSA round, the problem statement was something like this: Q1. You have K sorted linked list of size N, sort them into one linked list.
So I started with the basic approach with Time Complexity (K*N). Then optimized it to K*log(N) in the final approach, using PRIORITY QUEUE.
Question 2 was much easier
Q2. Write a program to calculate pow(x,n) in Time Complexity O(log(n)).
3rd Round (HR Round): If you reach till HR Round, then Congratulations you have cracked the interviews and will get the offer from Hotstar :)
Practice CP as much as you can from platforms like Codeforces, Codechef. And in the last 2 months complete Interviewbit. And prepare OOPS from gfg before going for the interview. You may also cover OS, Networking and DBMS. Some companies ask MCQs related to these topics in tests and even in interviews.
● The whole CDC process gets very hectic, because companies take tests throughout the day, from Morning 6 am to even at night 12pm — 2am ( only leaving the Class hours) for a whole week, so eventually people skip classes to get some rest.
● Then Interviews generally are conducted on the weekend. And again the process gets very hectic, you have to wait a long time for your chance. If you have multiple interviews on a day, you might also have to skip some interviews to give the others.
● Then one thing that happened with me was, I was waiting for my turn for 1–2 hours (knowing they would take my interview). But then the CDC coordinator informed me at the end that I was in the waiting list of the company and the company already hired enough interns, so all the waiting list guys were rejected. So I got really disappointed at that point of time.
My suggestion would be that you stay put, don’t give up and keep trying. Eventually after multiple rejections and struggles, you’ll surely get an intern.
Guys looking for an opportunity in Software Development or an entry-level opportunity with good compensation can apply.
People from almost all the departments can apply.
6) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year. I would like to write some general DOs and DON’Ts for CDC.
DO’s :
● Be Honest, and Don’t lie. Don’t write something in your CV that when asked you are not able to explain it.
● You must have 1 good development project or intern on your CV, and must have basic knowledge of the frameworks and libraries used in the project.
● Dress to impress. Even if the company is casual, you should dress nicely in Formals.
DON’Ts:
● Don’t be quiet throughout your interview, keep talking to the interviewer, keep interacting with him/her. Even if you don’t know the perfect answer to a question, keep engaging with the interviewer, they are there to help you out, give you hints and lastly they also want to see your communication skills during your interview.
● Don’t sleep late at night before your interview, generally the interviews start from 7 am in the morning. So make sure to have a good night’s sleep.
● Don’t offend or cross-question the interviewer in any way.
7) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?) ● Firstly Hotstar was open to almost all the departments, and people from different deps were shortlisted for the interview, so you don’t have to worry about not being from a circuital dep.
● A good CG will be a plus point, mostly above 8–8.5 would be enough.
● Then you must have 1 good development project or intern on your CV, and must have basic knowledge of the frameworks and libraries used in the project.
● You can add your rankings of various coding contests like Kickstart, Codeforces, Codechef, etc.

Hello! My name is Kumari Bhawna. I am a 3rd-year undergraduate student from the Department of Chemical Engineering, enrolled in its BTech course. I joined DRL as a summer intern this May.
Hello, I am Mayuri Sonowal, a final year student in the Department of Chemical Engineering. I did my summer internship at Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories. Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories is a leading multinational pharmaceutical corporation with operations in India and overseas. For the core profile, they mostly hire interns from the mechanical and chemical departments. So, I’ve listed my experiences with the interview and shortlisting processes here.
2. How did you get into Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories? What was the selection procedure?
Compilation:
Dr. Reddy offered internships for two profiles –
(i) Core (Technical Training at Manufacturing and R&D sites) — This role was open to students of Chemical and Mechanical Engineering.
(ii) Analytics — This role was open to all departments including the Department of Chemical Engineering.
The selection procedure of the core profile consists of 4 rounds:
· First and foremost, there is a round of CV shortlisting. You have to submit your CV through the ERP. They did not specify CG criteria, although most people with a CG greater than 7 get shortlisted for the subsequent round.
· Online test (duration — 1hr) — The test mainly had questions based on core Chemical Engineering (easy + average level questions), along with some psychometric and reasoning-based questions, and a few basic questions from chemistry. Almost 41 students qualified for the GD round (core profile).
· Group Discussion round — The GD round was the primary elimination round. It was technical in nature. Every group (7- 8 students) was given a different topic to discuss. The GD problems were mainly based on unit operations (distillation, drying, etc.) and concepts of fluid mechanics. 17 students qualified for the interview round (core profile).
· Interview — It was only one round of interview for approximately 25 minutes. In the interview, I was asked about the projects mentioned in my CV. Also, I was asked situation-based questions on distillation and reactors and I tried to answer them using basic chemical engineering concepts.
In approximately the last 5 minutes of the interview, I was asked some basic HR questions like ‘Why DRL’, ’my extra academic engagements’, and ‘hobbies’.
Finally, 7 students were selected for the core profile and 2 for the analytics profile.
One has to be thorough with the concepts of their core discipline. For chemical engineering students, fluid mechanics, HT, MT, concepts of humidity and basics of reactors, as well as the fundamentals of thermodynamics are important topics.
For the test round, I personally felt that solving core chemical engineering questions and aptitude questions will be good enough to get through it.
For the GD round, knowledge of unit operations and other basic concepts was required. This round is one of the biggest hurdles in the entire selection procedure as more than 50% of students are eliminated at this round. But, thinking about the problem statement in terms of whatever basic concepts you have studied can be really helpful.
For the interview, one should be able to explain each and everything mentioned in the CV. One should be clear with all aspects of the projects/internships they have done. Aside from that, if you have certain projects, you will always have an edge.
4. What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
Staying positive throughout the process is really necessary and very difficult as well. As the number of companies pursuing core profiles is limited, people who are genuinely interested in the core have fewer opportunities. I tried to be in touch with friends and have some fun time to avoid getting stressed.
However, if you’re going for several profiles, then effective time distribution has to be done. I would suggest to prepare an approximate daily routine and follow that. Aside from that, if Dr. Reddy’s or another core organization is your main goal, design your CV in a strategy that represents your passion and become well acquainted with your theories.
So, if you truly want to create a good impression, attempt to understand all of the chemical or mechanical engineering concepts and construct your resume in such a manner that you’re confident in everything you’ve said.
5. According to you who should ideally apply for this job?
Anyone who is interested in core and wants to understand or evaluate the practical implication of their core domain knowledge or wants to know how the pharma industry works can apply for this profile. Students interested in coding and machine learning can also apply for analytics profiles.
Aside from that, I feel that everyone with even a slight amount of curiosity should apply because the experience would be unique and you could get motivated after working there.
6. Any specific advice you want to give the junta, sitting for internships this year.
I have a few pieces of advice for students who will be sitting for the internship this year-
Be patient throughout the internship period. Keep in mind that the CDC is not your only choice. The two-month internship is an opportunity to evaluate yourself, therefore it’s okay if you don’t get an internship within the first three days.
As DRL comes after day 3, I would strongly suggest, don’t panic seeing other people getting internships on Day 1 and Day 2. Don’t overthink about the results, and give your best shot. Believe in yourself!!
7. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestion you would like to make?)
The main components are your projects, as well as what you’ve learned and assessed from them. If you have done any internships or projects, you can add them to your CV. It will help in your interviews as you will have something to speak about and it will showcase your knowledge. You can also have a look at your seniors’ CVs, to get an idea of how to present things.
Remember to add any extracurricular activities in which you have participated. Try to demonstrate that you are a versatile applicant who has participated in a variety of activities. As a result, it is critical that you correctly identify all Projects, PORs, and EAAs in which you have participated.

Hi Everyone ! I am Rishav Kumar, a third-year B.Tech student from the department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. I will be interning at Goldman Sachs as part of its Engineering Division in the summers of 2022.
How did you get into GS? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure consisted of an online round which was conducted on Hackerrank platform a few weeks before the interview. It consisted of 5 sections :
Section 1 (Easy Programming Round)
There were two questions, both implementation based. Questions were easy but the time limit was 30 minutes. Unfortunately, I took too much time in the first question due to minor bugs and was able to solve only one of them.
Section 2 (Quantitative Aptitude)
The questions in this section were tough (JEE level). The topics covered were Probability, Expectation Values, Trigonometry and logical reasoning. Since I didn’t prepare for the quant profile specifically, I was able to answer only one or two questions from this section.
Section 3 (CS Fundamentals)
This section consisted of theoretical questions from core CS subjects like Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Predicting output of a given code. I was able to solve around 30–40 % of the questions.
Section 4 (Hard Programming Round)
There was only one question with a time limit of 45 minutes. The question was arguably one of the hardest questions asked in CDC that year. It was based on profile DP (DP + Bitmasking). It took me around 30 minutes to code the solution and 5 minutes to debug. As I had solved a similar question before, I knew straight away how the general structure of the solution would look like. I was able to pass all the test cases.
Section 5 (Behavioral/HR essay-type question)
The questions were :
What will you do if your teammate leaves you in the middle of the project due to some personal issues ?
Mention a situation where your passion and enthusiasm helped you in achieving the goal.
Time limit was 15 minutes. The exact same questions were asked in previous year’s round. I was prepared with a suitable answer for each of these questions.
There was another criterion for selection which was CGPA. Performing well in any one of the subsections (Coding / Quant) was enough to be called for an interview. Around 80 people were shortlisted for the interviews.
Round 1
The round started off with a basic implementation question.The interviewer just wanted to see if I could convert my thoughts into code. He then asked me a puzzle. I was told that I could solve the problem either logically or by writing code. After a few minutes of brainstorming I wrote a recursive code and arrived at the final answer.
Round 2
I wasn’t required to code in this round. The interviewer just asked me theoretical questions on various well-known algorithms like Dijkstra, Manhattan, CPU Scheduling, etc. I was also asked a bit about my projects.
Round 3
The round consisted of a medium-hard level question. It was based on DP on a binary tree. It took me a while to code up the solution. Initially the interviewer wasn’t able to understand my solution as I had optimized the space complexity to O(1) but after a few minutes of discussion he was satisfied. He then asked me about my project with a few follow-up questions.
There was no HR round. I received the confirmation about two hours later that I have been selected.
I initially came to know about Competitive Programming from some of my friends during the start of my 2nd semester. I started with beginner level problems on Codechef and Hackerrank. Soon I realized the importance of Data Structures and Algorithms in CP and decided to learn it thoroughly.
Initially I followed the videos of mycodeschool youtube channel and then moved to cp-algorithms website. Meanwhile I kept solving questions and participated in as many contests as I could.
After reaching the fourth semester I realized that my ratings were stable and I couldn’t improve them even after upsolving the questions. It was at this time that I decided to join the AZ-201 course of AlgoZenith. The course covered everything from scratch. The questions on the platform were quite relevant from the CDC point of view. Meanwhile, I also took the Algorithms-I and Algorithms-I Lab courses as additionals. All these resources were enough to provide me with a firm grasp on DSA skills.
In the summer break before CDC I moved on to platforms like InterviewBit and LeetCode to prepare for interview rounds. I solved interviewBit completely and did around 150 most liked questions on LeetCode. I also worked on two small projects (one on NLP and the other on Blockchain) and implemented them from scratch.
One of the biggest setbacks that I faced during my preparation was not being able to push my ratings above a certain limit (5-star on CodeChef and Expert on Codeforces). However I soon realized that the questions on these platforms were more towards the ad-hoc side rather than DSA. Consequently, I shifted to other platforms like LeetCode and focused more on improving my DSA skills rather than worrying about my ratings.
People who have a keen interest in the Software Development domain with a slight interest in Finance should ideally apply for this internship program.
Practice Competitive Programming. There’s no shortcut to that at all. CP won’t just help you in grabbing an internship/placement offer, but also helps to improve problem-solving skills, builds aptitude and spontaneous thinking.
Ask questions to the interviewer. At times they make the question unclear purposefully hoping that you may ask for clarifications.
Think out loud during the interview, so that the interviewer knows your thought process and may guide you towards the solution.
Don’t panic. Keep a smile on your face and a calm head.
Don’t worry too much about ratings, focus on learning.
Don’t get demotivated after seeing your friends get an offer in a Day1 company. Some of the companies that come later are equally good as Day1 companies.
Having a project on your CV really gives you an edge over others. Not only does it help you to understand software development but also becomes a major point of discussion during your interviews. Having good ranks in coding competitions like Google Kickstart, Google CodeJam, ICPC also adds value to your resume.
Lastly, be thorough with your resume. Don’t write anything on your CV which you won’t be able to explain.
Remember, it’s okay not to get a good offer initially as you will get lots of opportunities in the future. Just try giving your best. Feel free to ping me on Facebook/LinkedIn for any questions :)

How did you get into Google (Hardware)? What was the selection procedure?
Selection: Was based on CV. I had a course project on Algo I under PPC sir, an ISRO project of UART implementation on FPGA.Google Hardware Interview Experience : There were two sets of interviews.Round 1: I was mostly asked questions from basic digital electronics FSM(Finite state machine) related questions. I was asked to draw the state transition diagram for a particular question. Then I was asked a question from analog regarding opamp. Then I told them that I mainly prepared for digital, so I would prefer if they asked questions from that. Then they gave me alogical question and asked me to implement it using digital circuits. It was related to binary search. Then they asked a few questions regarding programming and basic flip flops, latches and combinational circuits. Finally, he asked me for 1–2 puzzles, and that’s it. Even if you can’t answer the question perfectly, telling them your approach will help a lot.
Round 2: Round 2 began with a complicated question on static timing analysis where a bigcircuit was given, and I had to explain every stage of how I approached it. They asked a question on K-map minimisation and then computer architecture basics like RAM, ROM,Cache and ISA. Lastly, they asked me a question on recursion(coding in C++). I solved it using both recursion and dynamic programming and they were very happy to see that.
I aimed for the core- digital profile. So, I started my preparation from the summer after the end of my 4th semester. I went through a few courses on Digital Electronics (Neso Academy lectures), a basic course on ComputerSystem and Architecture(basics from gfg), Static Timing analysis concepts. Knowledge about VHDL/Verilog is also recommended if time permits. I studied them thoroughly. Lastly, I revised my programming, data structure, and algorithms concepts (Since my second profile was software, I was also practicing from Interviewbit, which helped me a lot). I also briefly wentthrough puzzle questions from the interview bit and gfg.
I got COVID positive at the end of April and basically began my preparations from May mid. I started with the NESO playlist of digital first and practiced questions which I gathered from past papers and seniors. I contacted Nagesh Patle, Rudrajyoti Roy and Hima Swetha, who also interned in core profiles. I asked them many questions to clear my concepts. Keeping in touchwith seniors was a huge plus point as they guided me with their interview experience and field expertise. When the interview time was approaching, I also prepared the basics of computer architecture. I learnt VHDL as it was required in my ISRO project which helped me in the interview too. Due to the increased stress in CDC, you must take care of yourself. Do some exercise, get proper sleep and keep in touch with your friends. You have to give lots of tests,face rejections too, still keep on fighting. You need to keep calm, trust yourself, and utilize the summer break efficiently to bag an excellent core offer. That’s it from my side. Thank you! You are free to contact me on my
my emailhaitdebdatta@gmail.com.
All the best. Machake!!

1)Brief Introduction
Hey, I am Balakrushna Dash, a pre-final undergraduate student of IIT KGP, pursuing my B-tech course in the department of ECE.
Hi, I am Sumit Kumar Yadav, a final year undergraduate student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering enrolled in its integrated dual degree course.I got Internship offers from Google and Microsoft through the on-campus CDC drive last year(2021).
We are interning this summer at Google as Software Engineers.
2) How did you get into Google? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process involved one coding round followed by 2 technical interview rounds.The coding test was conducted on the HackerEarth platform in which 2 questions were given to solve in 60 mins.
In a particular case, the 1st problem was based on DP+DSU and the other problem was on DP.
Interview Round 1: (50 min) The interview started with an introduction. After this, the interviewer asked the interviewee for 1 grid problem in which he had to find the longest path considering some additional constraints. He started with a brute force solution and worked on improving it while discussing it with the interviewer and came up with a solution using greedy and DP with optimization. He explained his logic and then, jumped to implementation.
After this, the interviewer told him to trace this longest path. At last, the interviewer asked how his algorithm changes if some values are repeated in the grid. He explained his logic, and the interviewer was happy with it.
Round 2: (45 min) The interview started with an introduction. After this, the interviewer asked him about 1 coding problem related to calculating the Jaccard similarity. He explained his logic and implemented it using map STL and then he was asked to improve complexity using some mathematics, to which he came up with the solution and coded it also. At last,He was asked one follow-up question, which he solved using a binary search.
Both the interviewers were quite friendly and helpful.
3) How to prepare for them?A thorough understanding of algorithms and data structures is required for software engineering-based profiles. Once the basics of DSA are clear, there are many sources to practice problem-solving. If you are a beginner, then refer to Leetcode and InterviewBit. Once you feel confident in standard DSA, you can participate in competitive programming contests on codeforces to boost your problem-solving ability.Apart from standard DSA prep, if you have extra time, try to learn OOPs and core CS Subjects, mainly Operating systems and Computer Networks.
For Google, much importance is given to the candidate’s resume, especially past Kickstart/Codejam performances. So, make sure to participate in these contests.Also, they asked a lot of DP problems for that practice problem from the Leetcode hard DP section.
From someone who had successfully qualified it, this was his journey of preparation:
He started his competitive programming at the end of his 4th semester by giving contests on codeforces. He regularly gave contests and practice problems on different topics for around 6 months on codeforces. This builds the base, then he started to practice problems topic-wise to take this to another level.
For the graph, he solved the problems given in the CSES problem set.
For the DP, he solved problems given in the Leetcode (medium+hard).Just one month before the coding round started, he started Interviewbit and solved most of the questions.
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?In the beginning, I only used to solve problems from codeforces, but around 2 months before the start of the internship coding test, I didn’t feel very confident in the dynamic programming-related problems. So, to overcome this, I moved to leetcode and after solving around 50–60 DP hard problems, I gained confidence which ultimately helped me in the test and interviews.
5) According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?People interested in Algorithms and Data Structure and who want to pursue a career in software development can apply. There is a lot of scope for learning new technologies and skills during the internship.
6) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
Focus on competitive programming( or solving questions from leetcode) instead of doing random projects just to write in your CV.
One project is sufficient, and if you are a CS student, you will be doing one project in a software engineering course in your 4th semester.
So, try to participate in as many programming contests(Kickstart, Codejam, ICPC, Codeforces, Codechef) as you can and write those ranks/ratings that will be really useful during shortlisting.
It’s totally fine, if you are in your second year and you don’t have enough points to write, in that case, you can write your school achievements.
Project-under-Prof is not compulsory, you can add self-projects to your CV as well. Just remember one thing, whatever skills you are going to add to your CV, you are expected to be knowledgeable about them. Any tech-related work in any society or any kind of achievement in some hackathon/contest will have a positive impact.
Self-project ideas: just google search for some python project and pick whatever you feel can complete.
7) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year.
For preparation:-Practice CP.Try to learn the basics of OOPs.Dev-related projects may help.POR(s) are not at all necessary.
For Interview:-The best advice would be to stay confident and believe in yourself.The interviewer mainly wants to judge how well you think and approach a problem.It is very important that while thinking about the problem’s solution, you think out loud.Keep talking with the interviewer about your approach so that even if you go wrong, he can give you a hint to get you back on track.

Hello! I am Aman Mishra, a pre-final year undergraduate student at the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. I am from Kolkata. Last year, I received an internship offer in the Software Profile from Honeywell via the CDC internship drive.
The first step of the selection procedure was a coding test comprising 2 questions to be solved in 1 hour. The questions were doable if someone had practiced questions thoroughly from InterviewBit. The time of submission was also considered while shortlisting candidates for the next round as many people were able to solve both questions. Students from all the departments were allowed to take the coding test.
The next step involved technical rounds followed by an HR round. I had to sit through only 1 technical round, whereas some students had to go through 2 technical rounds. The technical round had a couple of coding questions followed by some questions on the OOP concepts and a brief discussion about one of the projects I mentioned on my CV. The last round of the process was the HR round where standard HR questions were asked along with a discussion on projects mentioned on my CV.
Since the selection process primarily revolves around judging your problem-solving skills and knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms, it is advisable to practice on the various coding platforms like Codeforces, CodeChef, Atcoder, etc. to sharpen your problem-solving skills and build a temperament to solve problems in a time-bound situation. InterviewBit is a must-do resource since it contains questions like what is asked in the interview rounds. Try giving the CDC Series Contests conducted by Grimoire of Code (GOC) for a good practice of the coding tests.
Object-Oriented Programming Fundamentals, as well as puzzles, are also asked quite often asked in the interview rounds, hence it is recommended to prepare them well. Other than these, one or two weeks before the CDC interviews, start giving mock interviews so that you become well versed in communicating your solution approach clearly to the interviewer.
A specific issue that I faced was not being able to properly explain the approach of my solution. To overcome this, I took some help from seniors and friends and asked them to take mock interviews which eventually helped me to improve.
Anyone interested in software development.
The entire process is very taxing so be mentally prepared for it and keep yourself motivated throughout. Make a group of friends who are targeting the same profile as yours and prepare with them. Preparing in a group will keep you motivated as well as ensure that you do not miss important deadlines. Make sure that you have prepared your CV very well and got it reviewed by your seniors. Lastly, accept the fact that rejection is a part of this entire process. So do not lose hope in case you face any rejections, trust the process, keep working hard, and you will eventually sail through it. Just Keep Calm and Keep Coding. Good Luck :)
What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while
targeting this profile? (Any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
Try to mention at least one group project (if you have any) since group projects show that you are a team player and have the skills to collaborate with others to solve any problem. If you have good ranks in coding competitions (like KickStart, Codejam, HackerCup) and good ratings on sites like Codeforces and CodeChef, do mention those in your resume as these ratings and ranks function as a good proxy for your coding skills. Most importantly, do not put anything in your resume that you cannot defend or are not confident about.

I am Abhishek S. Purohit, a final year undergraduate student in the Department of Chemical Engineering.
I am Ashutosh Patkar from the Department of Ocean Engineering
I am Prathmesh, a final year UG student from the QEDM branch, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
I am Mudit Gupta, a final year student in the department of chemistry.
Hi, I am Raushan Sharma, a final year undergraduate in the Department of Mathematics, IIT Kharagpur, enrolled in its 5-year Integrated M.Sc. course of Mathematics and Computing. Having a keen interest in mathematics, I love problem-solving and wish to apply my mathematical skills into solving practical problems and pain points.
My name is Rahul Kumawat, a third-year undergraduate student of the Department of Chemical Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech Course. I am from Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan.
We all got an internship offer from Honeywell for the SDE role through the on-campus CDC drive last year.
2) How did you get into Honeywell? What was the selection procedure?
First, we have to apply via ERP. It opens for every department and the CGPA criteria are >7.5.
It generally starts with an online coding test. It consists of 2 programming questions with a time limit of 1 hour. The test is conducted on the Hackerrank platform. Problems were related to Dynamic Programming, Graphs, Catalan numbers, etc. Someone who has decent practice from InterviewBit or Leetcode will find the problems familiar.
Later, based on your score on the test and your CV, shortlisted people are allotted some panels for interviews. There are two rounds of interviews one -the technical round and the second one -the HR round.
TECHNICAL ROUND — The Technical round very much depends on the interviewer. Some of them mostly ask questions like — What all graph traversal algorithms do we know, then explain how they work. What all Data structures we have studied and their properties Also , they ask about the time complexity of the radix sorting algorithm and discuss the projects done by that particular individual. Basic questions on OS, DBMS and some average questions on CP can be asked. Apart from these questions from your CV can be surely asked. Good projects on your CV would help you in driving interviews in your preferred direction. They give the interviewer some topics to discuss and assess you. Also having an in-depth understanding of the project and the ability to speak with confidence to convince the interviewer is an added advantage.
HR ROUND — The HR round is generally a short one. Non-technical questions from CV are asked and some typical HR questions like your past experiences and what difference can you make if you were selected for this role. HR would be mostly interested in co-curricular activities, your ability to speak out your thoughts and most importantly whether you resonate with the company values or not. For the HR round, it is highly advisable going through the company’s page and check out the current working domain of the company, as HR would expect you to have some knowledge of the company to which you are applying. Also check out company values.
Ans: Firstly, basic programming is a must for any software profile in any company. There will be easy to medium questions from them in the test. Clear all the concepts of standard data structures and algorithms and focus more on Dynamic programming as this topic is asked almost in every company’s test. Study about OOPS concept, and its different components and also practice live coding.
As far as coding tests are concerned, you should practice CP at least for around 2 months to get a good grip on it. You could refer to platforms like leetcode, CodeChef & GFG for practicing questions because questions will be very similar from these platforms. You could also refer to the Algozenith course and the 10xIITian platform to learn about CP concepts.
For technical interviews, prepare your CV very well, everything from your CV should be at your fingertips and practice quality problems on leetcode or interviewbit. Stay confident while answering and don’t panic during the interview. Never code in an interview like you know everything about the problem, try to interact with the interviewer, ask doubts and if no doubt then tell him what you are doing to solve the problem and why you are doing it then only the interviewer will take interest in you, ask for hints if you are stuck anywhere, the interviewer is there to help you, he/she just wants to check your thought process.
For interviews, one may follow the book “Cracking the Coding Interview”, and go through Interview experiences from GFG.
Some material for DP from our side –
1. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_z_8CaSLPWekqhdCPmFohncHwz8TY2Go
(To learn DP from Basics)
2. https://atcoder.jp/contests/dp
For the HR round, prepare some standard HR questions (which can easily be found on google) and in the interview be active and listen carefully to HR. Go through the company’s profile, its main working domains, its culture and values.
Competition is one of the most difficult aspects of becoming a software developer. To address this challenge, one must perform as many mock tests as possible. Having a good CGPA and a resume with relevant projects is always a plus, but it is not required. The most significant requirement in becoming a Software Developer is having excellent coding skills.
Coding Interviews are very different from competitive programming. In interviews, you need to slowly build-up to the efficient solution without knowing the constraints. But in a competitive programming contest, the entire approach and mindset are dependent on the constraints. Being a CP guy can mess up the interviews a bit. Not directly looking at the constraints sometimes should be good enough to overcome this problem.
When solving problems do not get stuck on a question if you are low on time.
Just move on with the next question and later visit the unsolved question again.
If you were involved in ML from start, you would have a bit more orientation towards Python over C++. It is highly recommended to master one language for CP purposes and C++ is highly preferred for that.
However, for CDC if one feels he/she has less time for preparation of this profile, and it’s somewhat late to start CP, then start with InterviewBit.
While preparing for CDC, you have to face rejections either in interviews or in coding tests. So you have to be mentally strong and believe in yourself during this period.
Those who are interested in building softwares, coding or handling big data, in general, can apply for this role. Honeywell offers a varied range of tech stacks and projects for interns from DevOps, Machine Learning, Webapps, MicroServices, Databases, etc. You may get a chance to work on these cutting technologies. Anyone interested in these can apply. Honeywell did not have any department or CG criteria in 2021. If data structures and algorithms are something that interests you, and you like problem-solving, you are good to go and apply for this job profile.
Also, the work-life balance is very good generally but in some teams, it can get a little bad.
CV is a very major aspect of every interview. It is better if you have content in your CV resonating with the role you are applying for.
If you have done a software or ML-related internship(s) or project(s), then you can mention that in the CV, it would definitely be a good topic to discuss in the interview. Apart from that, you can also mention your codeforces/codechef ratings, any good rank in codeforces/codechef/kickstart/hackercup round.
Apart from that you could also mention the relevant software-related course(s) if you have taken any from KGP or from MOOCs. Just be ready to answer questions on the tech stack mentioned in your CV.
Try to revise the required topics and concepts in a day before the interview. To get an idea about the interview give some mock interviews if you can or at least watch some mock interviews on YouTube and visit interview preparation sites like leetcode etc. and consistently solve the problems in a time-bound manner. If possible, solve and practice codes with your group of friends who have the same passion. In this way, you can learn many new concepts.
Prepare your CV very well, and write only those things which you can defend. Stay confident and don’t get stressed out. Ask twice if you don’t understand the question. Always remember, it’s not the right answer that matters, it’s the approach that matters. The coding tests are hectic so try to get proper rest during break time. Maintain your enthusiasm on the day of the interview and don’t get disheartened seeing your friends getting intern on Day 1 or Day 2, your time will surely come. All the best!

Hi, Myself Avijit Mandal. I am a Final-year Dual degree student from the Computer Science and Engineering department. I am interning this summer at Intuit as a Software Development Intern.
2) How did you get into Intuit? What was the selection procedure?
There were two coding rounds followed by 2 Interviews. The first coding round consists of 4 coding questions in the easy-medium range and everyone was allowed to take the test. As per my knowledge whoever solved all the coding questions in 40–50 minutes was allowed to take the second coding test. Also, a number of the wrong submissions were considered ( as claimed by some batchmates ). The second coding round consists of 2 medium-hard coding questions, a duration of 1 hour. One was on Prefix Array and one on Greedy with queries. Interviews varied from student to student, mine were predominantly based on medium DSA questions along with computer science fundamentals and HR questions in each round.
I started CP in my fourth semester by giving Codeforces contests. My growth was normal till Nov 20. After that, I took Algozenith course which affected my learning curve in an amazing way. Till Feb 21 I dedicated myself to doing Algozenith materials, after that I started practicing from leetcode. Solving mostly Medium-Hard questions I would suggest. I used to give virtual leetcode contests as much as I can (daily 1 or 2). I also used to give contests from binarysearch — a similar platform like leetcode. Also in binarysearch I used to practice with my peers, a good way to compete as well as exchange ideas. As the preparation phase came to an end, I started giving mock interviews with my peers ( leetcode has a feature, you can try ).
15 days before my coding rounds started I started Interviewbit and completed almost >90% of the questions. Simultaneously I was preparing for CS Fundamentals from my course slides and GateSmashers.
Initially, I was not confident with DP and Graphs. So, the standard way to make something comfortable is to solve a lot of problems. For graphs I used CSES and for DP I mostly solved > 80% of questions from Algozenith followed by solving > 50 DP problems from leetcode.
Developers in Intuit are really amazing and get exposure to awesome things. People who love to solve real-life problems through code and want to make an impact in the lives of other people and aspire for the best work-life balance should definitely go for Intuit.
The preparation phase will keep on becoming stressful as tests will start approaching. I would suggest keeping your connection with peers who are going through the same phase would definitely help you to overcome this.
Also, during the interview think aloud while solving. Interviewers like to see what is going on in your mind. While coding, maintain good coding practices like camelCase notation, giving proper variable names, spacing, etc.
Wishing you all the best for your upcoming internship drive.

Hey, this is Ayush Sahoo, I just completed my third year in Instrumentation Engineering of the Electrical Department. I have been selected for the KITES ITC internship via CDC, IIT Kgp and I am willing to share some important information regarding the same,
How did you get into ITC? What was the selection procedure?
The complete process is summarized as under:
1. Online Application: Interested students are required to apply through an online portal where a form is required to be filled out. The form essentially requires details from your resume and some essay-type questions to be answered mentioning your goals and motivation to join ITC.
2. Shortlisting: Based on the form filled, a shortlist is issued for the psychometric test. The information that you fill in this form is reassessed at various stages from your personality test to the point then you actually join one of the divisions of ITC and serve as a medium for the company (and especially your guides and mentors) to know you.
3. Psychometric Test: This test is designed to evaluate your intelligence, personality and decision-making skills through some situational questions. The aim is to check if you are a good fit for the company’s work environment or not. The rejection rate at this stage is negligible and you will pass through unless you decide to deliberately screw it up.
4. Group Discussion: The students selected from the psychometric test are divided in groups of 7–8 for the group discussion round. This stage of the selection procedure is designed to judge your people handling and convincing skills. The reading time given to you is about 5 minutes, hence, you need to be really quick in grasping the essence of the problem and coming up with logical arguments. The problems may range from discussing upcoming business strategies for a product or simply just discussing the best course of action after an accident. These case problems do not require any prior preparation but you are expected to be logically sound in your arguments and be able to convince your audience for the same. The number of students selected from a GD is not fixed and may range from 1–4 per GD.
5. Personal Interview: This is the last stage of the selection procedure and in my opinion the most interesting one, the reason you’ll get to know in the following paragraphs:
a. Technical Round: Based on your CV they ask random questions, I had a core profile in electrical engineering and also practiced quite a bit of CP earlier from January, but I was asked questions mostly from the core electrical domain and real-life problems based on core electrical engineering
b. HR Round: This round is basically an interaction between the student and some senior officials from the company who are interested in knowing your interest in working with them.
I think the CV shortlisting criteria is purely based on CGPA, apart from this having a good grip over the core subjects is quite important to crack the technical rounds. Apart from that if you have mentioned other things like data structures, CP, ML, etc too in your core CV(if they are linked in any way to the projects that you have done) then questions might be asked from those fields as well.
For me the problem was mainly in GD, I did not have much prior experience in this but I believe the topics are intuitive and if we are able to articulate well and convey our points then it’s easy to crack. One point to be kept in mind is that there is no actual winner or loser in a discussion, just put your point of view to HR as to why you feel your suggestion would sustain in the scenario.
The internship role is Techno-managerial based, so people who want to pursue management-based jobs or are interested in the same can have good kickstart and experience while interning at ITC, without leaving their technical background completely.
The most important thing which I believe is you have to be thorough with your CV. The interviewer asks for every single detail that we mention, so no point writing things in which you are not confident about. Hence, mention only the relevant projects or previous internships in which you have complete surety and credibility.
Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year
I think the selection process is refined enough to check each and every aspect for the profile. Personally, I didn’t have any previous internships in the supply chain/ management domain, so there is no such hard and fast rule to have the same but as I said early if we have mentioned projects or internships based on any field eg core, software, etc. we have to thorough with each and every aspect of it because companies like ITC have branches in nearly every category starting from FMCG to IT as well as healthcare.

Hi Everyone! I am Tanaya Ramane, a fourth-year Dual Degree student from the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering, enrolled in its Quality Engineering Design & Manufacturing course. I am interning at Limechat as part of its Product team in the summer of 2022.
How did you get into Limechat? What was the selection procedure?
In the CDC internship drive, the number of companies coming for products is generally less. Limechat came on Day-3 for two profiles, Software, and Product. For Product in the initial CV shortlist, around 8 people were shortlisted. Out of which, 3 of us were offered an internship at the end.
The interview was divided into three phases essentially:
1: CV grilling — Based on relevant past projects and how they would align with the intern role
2. Product Case study — I was asked about a product case study of building an app from scratch
3. HR round — Example: Questions mostly about why Product over any other role…
For CV grilling:
1. Make sure you are thorough with what you write in your CV
2. You can drive the interview flow, so choose your words wisely. In my case, I knew which of my interns would be the most relevant and deliberately mentioned that role in my answers. This eventually led the interviewer to ask me questions about that particular role.
For Product Case Study -
General Awareness
Good problem-solving skills
Have a structured approach and try to think of MECE buckets
Asking the right questions, mainly to clarify the problem statements and even within the case
Have a two-way conversation, don’t just deep dive into the case and give a final output, have discussions with the interviewer.
After the case, ask for feedback: do you want me to explore any other aspect of this case?
Is the solution feasible?
If you are quoting any problem, instead of simply assuming, convey that to the interviewer: I think that the main issue faced by our users is XYZ. Does the company face a problem with this? Should I look into this? Etc.
HR Round:
You can get plenty of videos for this out there, and this is something that you need to look out for once you get a shortlist
These are all straightforward and basic tips, but people often panic over the interview and miss out on a few. Just brainstorm as much as you can on the case, and keep the interviewer in the loop. Please don’t make it a one-sided monologue!
I don’t think I would be the best person to comment on this(because I’m also a naive beginner, I would say😅). There are, again, many youtube videos out there for this.
I believe product roles require two primary skills:
Problem-solving
Stakeholder Management
You need to take the initiative and look for improvements, come up with possible solutions, develop an implementation plan, check if it’s feasible, and get validation from the customers by experimenting. And for all this, you need to work with multiple stakeholders. So, if you are someone who enjoys these things and loves to work across cross-functional teams, then this space might work well for you.
An all-rounded CV is preferred(that’s what I’ve heard), and past interns in Product might help. Idk about the exact shortlisting criteria, so I won’t be able to comment much on this part.
The CDC process is daunting. It’s fine if you don’t get an internship through CDC. There are a lot of opportunities off-campus, especially in product roles. Make sure you talk to your parents/friends, whoever you are comfortable sharing your bt with!
Don’t lose hope/confidence, even if you are not able to make it. Your career is a 30+ years journey ahead. 1/2 years up and down hardly contributes to 3% of it. So don’t give up hopes, keep hustling, and you can find a career that satisfies you!

1) Introduction
Hello everyone!
I am Prabhu, a fourth-year undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur pursuing Mathematics and Computing (5 yr. Integ MSc). I am a boarder at LBS hall in KGP and am from Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
My name is Aryaman Jain. I am a fourth-year undergraduate from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. I am currently interning at Microsoft as an SDE.
My name is Sunanda Mandal. As of 2021 during the CDC internship drive, I completed my second year of B. Tech in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
We all got an internship offer at Microsoft as SDE interns.
2) How did you all get into Microsoft? What was the selection procedure?
Microsoft was open to all students with a CG greater than 7.5 and no active backlogs. Microsoft’s Screening Test was different from those of other companies. The test was conducted on Codility, which doesn’t require turning on the camera. Only two questions were asked, and both of them were very easy. However, unlike other tests, we only see the results of sample test cases during the test. Around 45 students were shortlisted based on Submission time and System tests.
There were 3 rounds of interviews (2 technical and 1 Hr.).
Round 1:
The first question of the round was a CP question immediately after the introduction. In total, two questions were asked in this round, one of them was a Leetcode Hard level question. After round 1, I was called for round 2 within five minutes
Round 2:
This is, as far as I know, the round that determines your selection. This interview round lasted more than 1 hour and included questions about DSA, OOPS, OS and System design.
Round 3:(Hr. round)
I was asked about my plans after completing college. As I’m from MnC, the interviewer was interested in the CS courses we study and questions were asked from the same. This round also consisted of a couple of CP(DSA) questions (again here is one direct Leetcode Hard problem)
I was asked about my motivation behind choosing ML over my core subjects, my favorite mechanical engineering subject and the reason behind it.
PS, the interview round was quite different for different candidates and it will highly depend on your CV. If your CV is not much aligned to ML, you can also expect questions from algorithms and data structures or software-related projects/courses if you have mentioned any in your CV.
Projects that are mentioned in the CV should be prepared thoroughly. Do not write anything in the CV that you are not aware of.
maintaining a good CG and having a couple of software-related projects (self or supervised) are good to have
Since you get to know the selection results a week before, I would advise the candidates to go through Microsoft careers page’s tips and tricks to prepare accordingly.
For Online Assessment it was easy coding questions so anyone who solved a decent amount of questions were able to do it.
For Interviews, Practicing leetcode questions from every DSA topic will be enough. Pick Leetcode Hard Problems by randomizing (Pick one option in LC) the questions. This helped to cover a wide range of topics in less time and boosted the confidence as well.
For algorithms and data structures gave regular contests on codeforces and atcoder. For interviews and famous problems use interview bit and cses.fi.
To understand complex concepts in DSA, follow this.
And before appearing for an interview in any Company/profile try to learn what they do and why you want to apply.
4) Difficulties faced while preparing for the Company/Profile and how to overcome them The major difficulties faced are having low confidence even with good experience with interviews, feeling demotivated whenever they do not give their best and not being able to explain their own code because of nervousness. Practicing mock interviews regularly is the best way to solve this. Contacting the people who are preparing for the same position/ similar interview and discussing the problems that aren’t solvable by ourselves will help overcome this.
5) Who should apply for this internship?
Anyone who is interested in Software profiles and has a good hold of DSA can apply. If you like to learn and work on the latest technologies and are interested in Software Development, you will like the work. They do not generally ask development related questions in the interviews. If
If you are comfortable with solving coding problems and have knowledge of core CS concepts you should definitely apply for this job.
For Software Intern role software development projects are more valuable than ML projects. Nicely highlight all your achievements in the Academic Achievements sections. Put your handle ratings from websites like codeforces and codechef. Mention the rank if you
participated in google codejam, Kickstart or Facebook hackercup. Put open source contributions if any.
Finally do not focus on the number games of Day 1,2 etc.
7) Any specific advice you all want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year.
During the interview, always think out loud. Never try to fake anything in your CV and go prepared for questions about projects you mentioned in your CV. Follow your heart and sit for those roles only in which you are interested. Don’t apply for each and every company that comes in the first few days. It’s better to get an internship in a role you’re interested in, Day 2, 3 or even later than settling for a Day 1 internship completely different from the field of your interest. Be clear about the roles you are targeting and prepare accordingly. Make contacts with people who are preparing for the same. Discuss problems and doubts with them. After solving a problem, always go through editorials. It helps in exploring better coding styles and other approaches. Align your CVs according to the roles you’ll be applying for and get them reviewed by 2–3 seniors. Don’t be too stressed about CDC internships. CDC is not the end of the world. There are tons of opportunities including off-campus or research internships outside CDC.

Hello, my name is Anubhav Prasad. I’m from the ECE department. I’m also a member of KRSSG’s electronics and embedded team. I’m from Hajipur, Bihar.
How did you get into NVIDIA ? What was the selection procedure?
There are two steps in total, one is an exam and the 2nd is the interview round.
Approx 19 questions were asked in total and the time given was 1 hour. Questions spanned the concepts of digital electronics, PDS (1st year) and probabilities. The difficulty of the paper was moderate. I got some previous year's questions from the JKR funda Facebook page and to my surprise, some questions were exactly the same with different data.
For the interview Nvidia came on day 2. Mine Was the 1st interview. There were two interviewers, one was a kgpian (don’t remember his batch). So it started with the introduction part and then some random talks related to video games and GPUs. After that the 2nd guy started asking me questions like what is your interest, why you want to join Nvidia, do you want to go for higher studies, etc. It went for roughly 5 minutes and then the 1st interviewer (kgpian) started asking me technical questions. It started with some coding-based questions (basics of sorting) and then followed by a test question which I solved wrong (calculation mistake). So then I did that in front of him and also told him the method. He then asked me questions related to flip flops, multiplexers, etc. After that, he asked me whether I have knowledge of computer architecture and verilog or not. Since it wasn’t covered in my course, I told them I do know basic stuff but not properly. He then asked me whether I know memory hierarchy and pipelining hazards or not. I told them whatever I knew in short. After that the 2nd interviewer gave me a puzzle. I already knew the answer to that so I told them step by step and well that was my final question, after that we talked about some random stuff for 2–3 mins and the interview was over.
For preparations there, the very 1st step should be digital electronics. One should be very clear with the concepts of digital electronics, (all small modules like adder, multiplexer, flip-flops, etc). Then try implementing flip-flops with 2-to-1, or 4-to-1 multiplexers. Once you’re confident with this stuff, then learn verilog and try implementing all the learned modules in verilog and try writing testbenches in it. It will give you an idea about how IC’s are designed. Circuit solving methods like KCL, KVL should be clear. Go through the response of the RLC circuits (important for other companies as well). Revise the concepts of PDS (taught in 1st year) that’s enough but additionally if interested you may go through STL, as a year before my CDC a question was asked on vectors.
Once the above mentioned concepts are clear enough you can go through computer architecture. Memory hierarchy, Pipelining and its hazards are the most important concepts. Some VLSI concepts are also very important like static timing analysis (setup and hold time). Below are the links for computer architecture and VLSI stuff.

Although they won’t ask questions from these concepts if you’re a 2nd-year student. If you don’t know then tell them that these courses aren’t covered yet. Then they will ask you questions from the basis only.
For puzzles, just go through the 1st chapter of heard on the street book. That’s more than enough

What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem
I don’t face any difficulties as such while preparing. I was pretty sure that I don’t want to sit for SDE or other roles. I just wanted to sit for core profile (digital only). Staying in contact with friends helps a lot as one starts to panic as the CDC is approaching. I would advise you to keep faith in you and be confident. Have proper food, sleep, do regular workouts to be physically and mentally fit and just focus on learning rather than running for different profiles.
If you are interested in knowing the process of what goes into designing these complex devices capable of running high quality video games, high computation, etc then you should definitely give it a shot. Digital design is a vast and interesting field. If you are still in a dilemma in selecting a profile, I would suggest that try this as well. It won’t take much time to cover the concepts. The new curriculum already covered the digital electronics stuff so it won’t take much time to prepare for it.
Be clear with whatever you write in your CV. Don’t just fake stuff. If you are not confident with anything that you have written then it’s better not to write it.
Keep interacting with interviewers during the interview. Don’t just be quiet, keep talking to them, tell them your approach. It will boost your confidence. They also give hints if you are stuck somewhere, and also it makes a good impression if you keep interacting. Don’t worry if you are not confident in speaking English, proceed with Hindi. They don’t judge the language at all.
Be in touch with family and friends, it helps a lot. Be happy and keep learning.
Well they don’t focus much on CV, throughout my interview they didn’t ask anything from my CV. They just saw it once and asked about my field of interest. So it’s better to focus on making the fundamentals clear rather than running to make a good CV.
For CV try to include a hardware project if possible, although not that important but still good to be on the safe side. I would suggest going through the course “NAND2TETRIS” part 1 on Coursera. It’s a project-oriented course and much fun to learn. Additionally, there are websites like fpga4student.com, etc. You may have a look at it if you have time but only after having the fundamentals strong.
Finally all the best for the upcoming CDC. Happy learning. Be safe and healthy.
In case you need any help then feel free to text me.

I am Shourya Sharma, a final year undergraduate student from the Department of Mechanical Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course.
Hello, My Name is Nikhil Yadav. I am a Final year Undergraduate student in the Department of Mathematics at IIT Kharagpur, enrolled in its 5-year Integrated M.Sc course. I am currently living in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. I love playing badminton, reading philosophy novels, and watching sci-fi movies.
My name is Vamshidhar Reddy Dudyala. I am a final year undergraduate student from the CSE department enrolled in its DD course.
We all got an internship offer at Oracle as SDE interns.
2) How did you all get into Oracle? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure was of 2 steps, as usual, a test and then interviews. Oracle came for 2 profiles Applications Developer and Server Technology and conducted a test to shortlist candidates.
The test had 4 parts.
1. English — basic.
2. Core CS subjects — OOPs, DBMS, OS, etc.
3. DSA — AVL, RB tree, Radix sort, etc. {unconventional}
4. Aptitude — standard.
Each section had its time slot so you can’t repurpose the time you save in 1&4 to 2&3. There were a lot of questions and you can’t go back, so you have to judge if the current question is worth solving or not.
The second one was a typical coding interview. They asked for basic BST, Linked list, and a few other standard problems. After which they asked if I knew anything about OOPs, DBMS, Java, etc. To all of which I answered NO. The interviewers were nice and didn’t press on. Instead, they started asking me for interesting logical puzzles.
Then they conducted interviews for the shortlisted people which were of 2–3 rounds. Questions about prior internships and projects were also discussed.
The preparation is just like all other Software profile companies. Firstly, one has to be clear with all the concepts of Data Structures and Algorithms to get into a software developer role. The best platform to start DSA is Interviewbit. After solving Interviewbit fully, start practicing in Leetcode, write weekly contests, and take as many mock contests as possible because writing the whole code and debugging under a time limit is very important and Leetcode provides a platform for Mock Contests. Having a group of friends with whom you can practice coding like we used to start a mock contest with only hard questions if any of us solved the questions everyone else would be able to see it in between the contests, so it became very competitive. Once you get a good hold on the concepts of DSA and solve many questions you can move to Codeforces or Codechef and start solving questions from there. Apart from standard DSA prep, if you have spare time, try to learn OOPs and the basics of Java. Their test had questions on various fields like Core CS topics, Language, some Coding questions, and Aptitude test. If you want to learn core CS topics, you can try out the channels on Youtube.
Overall the test was not very Competitive coding oriented like other Software companies instead was focused more on overall knowledge of CS and aptitude.
4) Difficulties faced while preparing for the Company/Profile and how to overcome them.
One of the major problems in getting into a software developer role is competition. Even after solving all the questions, one might not get shortlisted. To overcome this problem, one has to give as many mock tests as possible so that one gets used to writing code within the timeframe. Having a good CGPA and a good resume with decent projects is always an added advantage in getting shortlisted but not necessary. Having great coding skills is the most important factor to get into the Software Developer role.
If you like solving logical problems, doing coding in general, or are interested in Software Development, then you can be a good fit for this profile. Also, there is job stability in this field compared to HFTs (High-Frequency Trading), so if you prefer this, then go for it.
For software profiles in general, previous internships and projects and technical skills matter. This gives you an edge over other people as the interviewer gets something to talk about and you have an opportunity to make an impression. Adding ratings on different Programming websites and ranks in competitions like Kickstart and Codejam allow you to stand out. Positions of Responsibility (PORs) are not that important but look good if you have them.
Do not write anything on your resume that you are not confident about. If you are mentioning any project/intern make sure you are very thorough with it. Even if you exaggerate anything, just make sure that you can defend it.
Prepare for tests at least 3–4 months early and keep in touch with your friends to be on track. Solve standard questions from Leetcode and GFG. Go through previously asked questions of various companies. Try giving mock interviews in parallel, so that it gives you confidence and an edge over other folks. Keep your introduction ready and better if you learn it by heart. Also, talk to seniors about the hiring process of specific companies you are targeting. Try to learn about the latest products or launches by the company you are applying for.
On the interview day, remain calm and keep yourself hydrated throughout the day as it will be hectic. Your mental toughness counts more than your technical skills during CDC season. Handling rejections is an acquired skill. Bounce back fast.

Hi, My name is Sankalp Bose, I’m a 3rd-year undergraduate student from the Department of Chemical Engineering (B. Tech).
I am currently interning at Piramal Pharma Solutions, Riverview, Michigan as a GEL Intern in the field of Supply Chain & Logistics.
How did you get into Piramal? What was the selection procedure?
So, Piramal recruits for it’s Global Emerging Leaders (GEL) Internship Programme from the old 5 IITs only. There are 3 rounds of selection post a general CV shortlist. The first round is a gamified assessment testing your analytical skills followed by a GD round and finally a Personal Interview. Do note, that as of last year, they only recruit students from the Chemical Engineering Department.
The gamified assessment is similar to the one FMCG firms conduct for hiring and hacks can be found on YouTube to ace the same.
The GD is based to test your personality and evaluate a role-fit for a management/leadership role. Unlike general GDs, in our case, every candidate was given 1.5 minutes strictly to introduce themselves, answer a situational judgement case study question (FMCG hiring 101) and tell them something we were passionate about.
My personal interview was taken by a Senior VP & an HR. It revolved mostly around my CV. There were a few simple questions related to basic core principles and a few regarding Supply Chain & Business Strategy as I had mentioned it on my CV. The HR would stress more on your communication skills and the POR/Extracurricular section.
A well-balanced CV with spikes in a few sections would be sufficient to get an initial shortlist. There is no CGPA cutoff/bias. One needs to have decent communication skills to clear the rest of the rounds. Decent knowledge of either core principles or relevant Supply Chain theory is important to clear the Personal Interview Round.
The only concepts you need to be well-versed with include your core principles/Supply Chain concepts. I chose the latter, hence it would be beneficial if you read up a few problems and concepts related to general Supply Chains along with latest news, technological developments in the Pharma industry. Research well about the firm and develop reasoning as to how you can solve problems relevant to the firm with skills mentioned in your CV.
Piramal offers projects in the field of Business Scale using core engineering principles and Strategic Projects in the field of Logistics & Supply Chain. Hence, students who are interested in either should be an ideal fit. The company culture is worth pointing out and the stipend provided is quite attractive if that falls under your consideration.
This period was honestly the most stressful point during my KGP life. Hence, I would lay a lot of emphasis on students to please take good care of themselves during the same. Please reach out to your family, friends & seniors at any point of time and keep yourself motivated even if you do not secure an internship in the first week. Fantastic opportunities are waiting for you, hence please do not give up and keep up the grind. Wishing you all the best for the same!
Please review your CV thoroughly with your seniors and be extremely well versed with every word written. Specifically for this role, highlight the impact you’ve created in your projects, achievements and showcase your management skills through your POR & Extra-Curricular Sections. If there are any internships/competitions that are relevant to the Pharma/Supply Chain field, it would be an added plus to talk about during your interviews.

Introduction:
Hey, everyone. I am Chaitanya, a fourth-year dual degree student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. I am currently doing my internship at Qualcomm, Hyderabad as a Machine Learning Software Intern.
The selection procedure for Qualcomm consisted of,
There are various resources online, I tried to list down some of them that helped me during my preparation.
i) Machine Learning course by Andrew NG on coursera — pretty standard:)
ii) CS231n — Deep Learning for Computer Vision by Stanford.
iii) CS224n — Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning by Stanford.
iv) Machine Learning Mastery — I would suggest going through this website for any clarifications on a specific topic.
v) ML/DL resources by Siba Smarak Panigrahi
vi) DL Hardware/Software — Must read!!
vii) Pytorch review — A good resource for Pytorch
viii) Sample Interview Questions
There aren’t any company-specific difficulties that I faced. If you are targeting an ML profile it is also important to have hands-on experience through projects/internships. Keeping yourself updated about various state-of-the-art algorithms/architectures is important.
Qualcomm is a semiconductor-based company, the AI team is primarily working on Edge AI among many other things (check out here for more details). Their main area of focus is to develop power/memory efficient AI solutions for their Qualcomm products. Anyone who is interested in Deep Learning can ideally apply for the job.
Don’t rush through CV making. Take your time!
i) As I said earlier, for an ML profile, it is important to have hands-on experience through course projects/internships.
ii) Mention any certification courses that you have done.
iii) Add only those things to your CV that you are confident about. You should be thorough with all the concepts/frameworks that you mentioned.
iv) CDC portal will allow you to have 3 CVs. If you are targeting multiple profiles like SDE / ML, try to maintain a CV for each of them.
7) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year?
Never give up!!! Like…Never!!
Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for constant encouragement and CDC IIT Kharagpur for the opportunity and smooth conduction of the process!
All the best guys!!

My name is Md Areeb Hussain. I’m pursuing a B.Tech. in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering and a minor in Computer Science and Engineering. During the CDC internship recruitment drive, I received an offer from Salesforce for their SWE intern role.
I was shortlisted for 3 companies on day 1 (Tower Research, GS, Sprinklr) wherein I couldn’t grab an offer after several rounds in these companies. On day 2, I was shortlisted for 4 companies, namely, Salesforce, Oracle, TI Embedded Software, and Honeywell. Salesforce was the first company I was interviewed for on the day and I received an offer from them soon after.
How did you get into Salesforce? What was the selection procedure?
Salesforce is open to CS, EE, EC, IM, MA branches
Online Coding Test — 1
3 questions
1st — Easy — Question based on STL implementation
2nd — Medium — Min. time to get all jobs done under some constraints (Binary search)
3rd — Medium — Question on graph (DFS)
Interview rounds — 2
First-round (Technical) — Few medium to hard level coding questions (similar to that in Leetcode), Discussion on some specific concepts of OOPs, and Puzzles (might be asked).
HR round — Behavioural questions, a brief discussion on the CV
Test preparation — Complete InterviewBit during summers. Practice medium and hard difficulty level questions from leetcode.
Interview preparation — Conventional code writing skills on paper/online editor, being very precise about standard algorithms, OOPs concepts, and being well versed with the projects/internships written in your CV is a must. Computer science fundamentals could be particularly vital for dual degree students. ‘Heard on the Street’ and ‘Fifty Challenging Problems in Probability’ are good resources for puzzles.
General advice — Prior to interviews, check the Salesforce Core Values. Even though they won’t ask for it explicitly, a little knowledge about their values and culture might prove beneficial for you.
Finding the appropriate information to learn and practise with was the major challenge I encountered during my preparation for the software profile. There are a lot of resources on the internet for every single topic. For me, group preparation was the answer to this issue. Deciding upon which material to study and what all questions to practise is much easier in a group. Additionally, everyone keeps their motivation up the entire way.
Anyone who is really interested in working as a software developer in a top product-based company must apply for this job. If you appreciate a good work culture, then this is your destination. They have one of the best work cultures in the world.
CV Tips for SDE profile:
Don’t stress out if you’re rejected by some company. Believe me, you have better opportunities awaiting. I know the process is very stressful but this is where you learn to handle pressure. Prepare well. Trust yourself. Never lose hope. Cheers! Machake junta!!

Hello junta! My name is Nuruddin Jiruwala, and I just completed my fourth year in Electrical Engineering in its dual degree course. I am interning as a Product Engineer Intern at Sprinklr in the ML team this summer of 2022, which I received via CDC internships 2021–22. Appreciate the initiative by SWG to share the experiences of people spread across various fields, helping our beloved KGP community.
So the procedure was divided into two stages broadly
If you are a Dual Degree student then it’s good to have multiple projects/at least one internship or both on your resume. As the DSA part goes I tried doing it my way in my first and second years but ended up getting nowhere. So I opted for Algozenith as it was more structured than my way was ever going to be.
For the ML concepts, do projects/internships. Trust me, you will learn more on the job than any Coursera course. Saying that I did do a few good courses. Other than that read about the algorithms, their logic, where they can be used, their pitfalls, and the mathematics behind them. There are numerous blogs on the internet regarding them. A bit of linear algebra is also necessary for the maths to make sense. As nobody is going to ask how you would import these models in python because even a kid can do that. They will ask about their inner workings which you will have no idea about if you haven’t already read about them in detail. Statquest(a youtube channel) worked great for me to help me understand some of the statistics and the intuition behind many algorithms. Try to learn and practice at least one simple code on all the famous frameworks i.e. Keras, Tensorflow, Pytorch, etc.
Other than that, have good communication skills and confidence as you need those to voice out your opinions to your team as well as your manager. And well, if you don’t speak in interviews then what’s the point of giving them? :P
I used to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of material and stuff to be learned that was available on the internet. That used to break my motivation for days. But I figured I will do it at my pace and we’ll see what happens. The thing that helped me most here is having a support group. I was lucky as I had my parents all the way as well as some great friends(who were also preparing for CDC so we were kinda going through it together). My advice here would be to practice and learn consistently, be it at a slow pace initially doesn’t matter and have a few people to whom you can rant at 3 am(Looking at you Mukul :3)
There are multiple roles in every software company, so your resume should show which specific role you want to go to clearly. Other than that, somebody that loves algorithms and data should definitely apply here, as the work here seems really interesting( I haven’t started yet properly, but just judging from what I have seen until now)
6) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year.
The most important advice here is that after clearing the screening test, your job is more than halfway done. They are here to hire you and you shouldn’t give them any reason not to. Be confident, think loudly, and voice out what you want from the role as well. Try to forget previously messed up interviews as well and focus on the current one, for e.g. I couldn’t solve the easy two-pointer question in my first interview in the first go because I was still mulling over the Microsoft interview I messed up 5 minutes before :P. Other than that, rejections are normal and the CDC process itself depends a lot on your luck. So don’t give up after initial failures and keep the grind going!
Try to have multiple projects/internships in your resume specific to the profile you want. Not every project needs to be related, I had a core project on my resume too. But it is good to have a few showcasing your past experience, which will prove your interest in the role, and give you some knowledge beforehand(this would help during your internship as well because you will be familiar with the frameworks/things you will be working on). Also, having projects related to the role will help you talk about stuff that you know in and out of, helping you steer the interview to your advantage.
All the best to all the juniors sitting for internships this year and in the future!

Hello. My name is Abhinav Japesh. I just completed my 4th year in the Electrical Engineering department’s dual degree course. I am a boarder of Azad hall of residence. Appreciate the initiative by SWG to share the experiences of people spread across various fields, helping our beloved KGP community.
I’m Ajay. I am currently in my final year. I am pursuing a Dual Degree course from Agriculture Department.

My name is Nikunj Kumar Madhogaria. I am a 3rd-year undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur. I am from the Industrial and Systems Engineering department, enrolled in its B. Tech. course.
Hola! I am Samar Pratap Singh, a third-year undergraduate from the Department of Electrical Engineering.
We all got an offer at Sprinklr as Product Engineer Interns
How did you all get into Sprinklr? What was the selection procedure?
Sprinklr offers the role of Product Engineering interns on our campus. It is similar to SDE. The role is open to students across all departments and there is no cutoff for CGPA. The selection procedure consists of broadly two stages: a coding round and some interview rounds. There are two or three interview rounds and one HR round scheduled for the shortlisted students.
You can broadly divide your preparation into three parts: Projects/Internships, DSA and CS Core Concepts.
Projects get highlighted in your CV and showcase your industry knowledge. You can prepare 3–4 projects beforehand so that you do not need to worry about them at the end moment. A good project might showcase a good grasp of the fundamental concepts. The projects highlighted in your CV should be diverse, i.e., if one project is about Web Dev, the other one can be a C++ app highlighting a particular algorithm’s use case.
If you are a dual degree student, you can do summer research internships in the 2nd and 3rd years, allowing you to have some projects and internships to show on your resume.
There are too many topics to cover and too many concepts to get a good grasp on the field of Software Development. Most companies, however, test your basic concepts related to algorithms, data structures, and OOP, allowing them to get an idea of how fast you will be capable of learning something new. If you are proficient in Data Structures, Algorithms, and Math, you can master any new topic in days in this constantly evolving world of software. Hence, it is recommended to sharpen your algorithm skills as much as possible over learning topics with no deep knowledge.
The DSA part is something that requires much time and attention. The best way to prepare is to solve problems as much as possible. You can study DSA by referring to different sites such as GFG, Tutorialspoint, etc. If less time is left for CDC, you can take a course on AlgoZenith which can help you in preparing for DSA.
Solving standard problems helps a lot. While companies ask for new problems, most problems in their problem set are standard ones. Hence, it is suggested not to leave them. Solve as many standard problems as you can. Standard problems can easily be found on leetcode, interview bit, and similar platforms. Nowadays, we also have many sheets of standard questions available free on the internet, and solving them would also be useful. Try to become acquainted with all of the classic problems from greedy, dynamic programming (DP), and graphs. Don’t go towards solving competitive-type problems from sites like Codeforces and CodeChef before you are well versed with the common problems. And even if you prefer these competitive sites, there are sections for DSA learning there that should be preferred over problems from contests.
You can give contests regularly on Codeforces, Google Challenges, and CodeChef for speed, fast and accurate implementation and can do Interviewbit, CSES, and Leetcode for different types of problems. binarysearch.com is also a platform where you can do problems. It has an amazing room feature where you can compete with your friends in a time restraint. During this time you can also participate in Google Kickstart which will help you in getting good practice and identifying topics that have been missed.
For 2 months, focus primarily on DSA. You can solve questions from Codeforces(1600–2000 rated) by filtering various topics. 1 month before CDC you can start doing OOPs, OS, Network, ML/DL, basic probability and statistics, and puzzles. For puzzles, the best sources are the book ‘Heard on the Street and the website ‘Brainstellar’. For probability and statistics, any resource which can teach you the required concepts will do. Do not just understand the theory, solve some problems to make sure you have understood the concepts. Whichever domain you apply to, you should not only read things but try writing/coding them yourself. By only reading, you might think that you have memorized and understood, but in the long run, things might fade out.
It is often asked how much time we should give to a question if we are unable to solve it. It mostly depends on you, but in the beginning, try providing enough time (at least 15/20 mins) so that you feel whatever I have learned I have given a thought on it and by seeing the answer you should not feel that I could have done that if I had been given more time.
CS Core concepts like DBMS, Compilers, OS, Networks, etc., are also recommended if you are aiming for Day 1 or Day 2 companies. If you have a rough idea about them you can keep these for the end and prepare them in the last two weeks before the interviews. You can just read short notes from GFG if that is sufficient for you.
What difficulties did you all face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
Who should ideally apply for this profile?
This profile is recommended for anyone who is:
The SDE profile in Sprinklr has four roles: Front-end, Back-end, Machine Learning (ML) and Data Science. Mention the role of preference in your resume.
The target is to make your CV distinctive, which allows you to stand out. Showcase your strengths in the CV. Any skill which is relevant to the profile can be considered a skill as long as you can back it up. Mentioning courses taken in Computer Science core might favour you as well. Showcase your competitive programming ranks, if any. Since the interviewers judge you on your problem-solving skills, your ranks will be a good testament to your ability. Global ranks in competitions like Google Code Jam, Google Kick Start, and Facebook Hacker Cup can also boost your chances.
Projects and internships indicate hands-on experience, which interviewers generally take on a good note. Projects can be anything from self-projects or course projects. While more projects are always appreciated, unique projects allow the spotlight to fall on you. Any experience in ML/Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Database and Networking systems, usage of git, etc. can increase the interviewer’s preference of you over your peers.
While making a CV, fill full pages rather than half pages. More importantly, be honest in what you represent in your CV. Be ready to be grilled upon anything you write on the CV.
The journey will be challenging, fun, and sometimes stressful and hectic. As the competition and content increase yearly, it is advised not to target all profiles blindly. Rather, it is optimal to target one or two profiles and keep your preparation strong for those. Start preparing a bit early on. Create some good projects which are worth looking at.
There are times when you will be demotivated. Don’t give up and keep pushing forward. Make a group and practice. This will help with the motivation too. Plan your things and try not to push things till the end. Even if you are not forming groups, keep in touch with others who are targeting the same profile. Help your friends out and take some breaks if necessary.
In the last month, try not to waste your time and strengthen your basics. Since pre-final year students are not expected to know much, you will be evaluated on problem-solving skills. Try improving it as much as possible. OOP basics are important, as typical Algo/DS concepts can’t be understood without completing a good project. Get used to sitting for long hours and brainstorming over a problem. Solve enough problems such that your codes are accepted in the first go. Give competitions from multiple sources like CodeChef, CodeForces, AtCoder, etc. It will provide you with different types of questions to learn from.
There are different coding problem patterns from different companies. Learn at least 2 languages (preferably C++ and Python). Try mock tests in HackerEarth and Hackerrank, since they are most companies’ go-to sites when it comes to their tests. Be confident and try to do it in one go as wrong answers will make you panic. Attempt all questions, since partial marking is provided based on the number of test cases satisfied. Write clean and readable codes. Use meaningful variable names.
Pre-interview nervousness is normal. Check some interview behaviours, quizzes, puzzles, etc. During your interviews, try to focus and answer as you do during your preparation. Be sure to ask the interviewer some doubts if you are unclear on something. Use the brute force approach when you are not sure about the optimal approach. If you are sure about both of them, ask the interviewer for their preference of approach and proceed with it. Be confident and answer it in-depth, explaining all the paths taken and the infeasible paths.
Interviews can be tiring. Believe in yourself and try your best. Forget previously messed-up interviews and focus on the current one. Your grade, department, and luck can influence this process. Finally, remember that even if you don’t get in, it’s just an 8-week period (internship). It won’t impact your career heavily.

Hello, I am Anish Mondal (18EC35033), a 5th-year dual degree student from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. I received an offer from Texas Instruments in the Signal Processing Profile during my 4th year.
I bagged the internship via the Career Development Centre (CDC) campus internship drive. The selection procedure for the internship includes an objective type screening test based on the different broad topics (Analog, Digital, Signal Processing, and Programming), based on the results of which we get interviews for different profiles. There is also a puzzle section for the objective exam, which is compulsory. One can apply for more than one profile and thus may receive multiple interviews for different profiles. In the end, you must choose one particular profile for your internship.
As far as preparation is concerned, most of the things asked in interviews are taken from the ECE courses, which must be revised before the internship drive starts. Some topics are generally not covered in lectures, like static and hold time and cache access time and hit ratio, which should be studied for the digital profile. A summary of all the necessary topics for each of the companies is given in the link below, which was compiled by Gautam Jha, a senior of mine.
CDC Guide for E&ECE Core companies
I was doing an internship, the summer before my CDC internship drive, and hence I had lesser time to revise the subjects than some of my classmates. So, in this case, I had to dedicate some time in the week (during my internship) to revise my course subjects.
These roles are generally open for people of circuit branches already familiar with pre-requisite knowledge of each of these profiles.
I wanted to let the students who want to go for core ECE/EE internships know that there are a lot of openings in this sector, and they should not be worried about securing an internship. Suppose they are unable to secure internships at Google Hardware on Day 1 or Nvidia and Texas Instruments on Day 2 (the first week of results). In that case, they should not be disheartened as many companies come for campusing in the latter days of the internship drive, like Qualcomm, Micron, Intel, Samsung, and many others who also look for people having similar profiles.
You could mention the courses you have taken relevant to your profile. As far as mentioning projects and PORs, they are of little importance if they do not apply to your profile. Irrespective of what points you write in the CV, the interviewer will test you on the basic concepts of the subject.

Greetings everyone! My name is Sarnavo Sarkar, and I recently graduated from IIT Kharagpur with a B.Tech degree in Metallurgical and Material Science. I was a boarder of Rajendra Prasad Hall of Residence. I will soon be joining Accenture Japan as a Digital Consultant in Tokyo this October.
While I haven’t started my office work yet, discussions with senior colleagues and the monthly induction meeting have provided insights into the upcoming projects. It appears that we will be handling assignments from esteemed clients such as Google, Amazon, and various Japanese firms. As per my role, I anticipate working on software projects.
Presently, we engage in monthly meetings with Managing Directors from different domains within the company. Additionally, the company covers the expenses for Japanese language classes, ensuring that we are well-prepared for our professional journey in Tokyo.
2) How did you get into Accenture Japan? What was the selection procedure?
I’m delighted to share the exciting news of receiving an unexpected offer through the CDC campus placement drive. To be honest, I wasn’t anticipating such an outcome. The initial screening round included three Easy/Medium Competitive Programming questions and 20 multiple-choice questions (MCQs) covering a wide range of Computer Science and Software Development concepts such as Networking, OS, Cryptography, React.js, Algorithms, and more. It appears that the selection for the next round was primarily based on the number of accurately answered MCQs.
Moving forward, the interview process consisted of two rounds. During the first round, they thoroughly examined my resume and focused on general software development topics, such as DevOps and Cloud Computing, rather than emphasizing Competitive Programming questions. The subsequent round was an HR interview, where they asked thought-provoking questions about my strengths, weaknesses, and other tricky HR inquiries.
When it came to Computer Science concepts like OS and Networking, I found the slides created by IIT Kharagpur or the Google IT Support course on Coursera to be helpful resources. These materials provided comprehensive coverage of the topics and enhanced my understanding.
To improve my skills in Competitive Programming, I actively practiced solving problems on platforms like Leetcode, Codechef, and LightOJ. Additionally, I would occasionally read blogs from cp-algorithms, which provided valuable insights and strategies.
For Software Development, I turned to YouTube channels like Hussein Nasser and Bytebytego. These channels offered informative videos that helped me grasp the fundamentals of software development.
Throughout my preparation, I encountered challenges stemming from the lack of proper guidance and resources. However, I persisted and utilized the available platforms to the best of my ability.
Since I have yet to step foot in the office, I cannot provide firsthand insights into the work culture and work-life balance. However, according to feedback from senior colleagues, the atmosphere is generally relaxed, with the work dynamics largely dependent on the assigned projects. Typically, there is a balanced approach with a 50–50 split between working from home and working from the office.
During the CDC placement process, managing academics alongside preparations was relatively straightforward for me since I wasn’t engaged in any extracurricular activities at the time. This allowed me to allocate a significant portion of my time to solving competitive programming problems from diverse platforms and revisiting the core principles of computer science. By prioritizing these areas, I was able to effectively balance my academic responsibilities with the necessary preparations for the CDC placement drive
For those with a genuine interest in immersing themselves in Japanese culture or embarking on an early exploration of life abroad, I wholeheartedly recommend this company as an ideal choice. The company offers comprehensive support to facilitate your relocation to Japan, covering every aspect you may require. This includes Japanese language classes that encompass reading, writing, speaking, and even the exciting prospect of watching anime without subtitles (a dream come true for many!). Additionally, the company takes care of essential logistics such as providing a SIM card before your departure, assisting with visa applications, and arranging air travel. All you need is the motivation and drive to pursue your aspirations in Japan, and the company will take care of the rest.
Furthermore, being a service-based company, you have the opportunity to explore a multitude of projects from various organizations. This exposure not only adds valuable experience to your portfolio but also enables you to establish meaningful connections that may pave the way for future growth and success.
It is essential to acknowledge the unpredictable nature of the CDC process. Therefore, it is crucial not to feel disheartened if you are not selected by your desired company. Avoid the temptation of applying for every available opportunity and focus on job descriptions that align with your interests. Taking on too many tests can exhaust you and negatively impact your confidence, especially after seeing shortlisted candidates. When it comes to interviews, maintaining a calm and confident demeanor is key. Stay in communication with the designated placecomm handling the specific company, and also ensure you prioritize adequate sleep and food. Dedicate ample time to grill your resume.
Maintaining a commendable CGPA of 8.5 or higher greatly benefits you during the CDC process. Additionally, possessing valuable project experience and internships enhances your prospects. It is important to note that there may be a certain bias towards circuital over non-circuital departments during the shortlisting phase. For software profiles, having strong ratings in platforms like Codeforces or Codechef, as well as participation in coding contests, is advantageous. It is worth mentioning that most companies prioritize technical skills over positions of responsibility or extracurricular activities.

I am Pavan Sai Chandra, I recently graduated from IIT Kharagpur with a major in Computer Science and Engineering (B. Tech). I was offered the role of Analyst — Trading Systems by AlphaGrep Securities during the placement drive.
AlphaGrep is a quantitative trading and investment firm that operates in various major exchanges globally, while the prop (high frequency) being the major counterpart, AlphaGrep trades in mid frequency too. The role offered to me involves building robust proprietary trading applications that provide extremely low latency and high throughput for the in-house trading algorithms. I will be working on the central trading infrastructure of AlphaGrep.
2. How did you get into Alphagrep Securities? What was the selection procedure?
The first round of selection for AlphaGrep was an online assessment which involved 2–3 coding questions, and around 15–20 MCQ’s. The coding questions were easy-moderate and the MCQ’s were based on the various language constructs of C++, probability and statistics.
Based on the online assessment around 20 students had been shortlisted for both the systems and quant roles. The first round of interviews was based on OS, Networks and some intermediate-advanced constructs of C++. In OS, the emphasis was majorly on the memory management techniques, which is quite important for the role and how they map to the various constructs of C++.
Second interview was more intensive in C++ and various data structures and algorithms. The questions in this round were based on designing various data structures and their interaction for particular situation to improve the throughput while being conscious of the memory footprint of the various data structures for the particular algorithm.
The final interview was more specific to the trading infrastructure. I was asked to build an abstract order book and subsequently, a dashboard using various data structures and C++ constructs. Some questions were based on manipulating input data using a given set of data structures for a particular objective.
3. How to prepare for them? What difficulties did you face during this time?
AlphaGrep being a proprietary trading firm has most of its codebase in C++ for low latency purposes, hence C++ proficiency is expected during the interviews for the systems role. Operating Systems, Networks, and Computer Architecture are quite important for this role, and it is important to know how they relate to each other and the language constructs of C++.
Operating Systems: Modern Operating Systems by Andrew Tanenbaum, Herbert BOS; Operating System Concepts by Silberschatz
Data Structures and Algorithms: A good DSA course should suffice to start with. Codeforces and Leetcode are good places for practice.
Networks: Computer Networks, A Top-Down Approach by Kurose, Ross
Computer Organisation and Architecture: Computer Architecture, A Quantitative Approach by Hennessy, Patterson
C++ language features: The C++ Programming language by Bjarne Stroustrup is a good place to start, and the Effective C++ series by Scott Meyers are good reads.
4. How would you describe the work culture in your company? How is the work-life balance?
AlphaGrep is meritocratic to its core and promotes ownership. Collaboration is emphasized extensively here and one can expect a steep learning curve. The work going on here is quite engaging.
The work-life balance is good at AlphaGrep but not as good as the product based software firms, working hours are somewhat flexible.
5. How did you manage your time alongside academics and extracurriculars (if any) to prepare for CDC?
Placement drive is always hectic, it’s important to list out the preferences and stick to the plan. Placement is the most important aspect of the penultimate semester, thus while picking up courses for the semester I wanted to keep my schedule a bit light and take some courses that might aid my preparation for the placement.

Hi, my name is Gauri Karkhanis, and I recently graduated from IIT Kharagpur with a bachelor’s degree in Architecture, along with a micro-specialization in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Hailing from Pune, Maharashtra, I am thrilled to have been offered a full-time opportunity as a Management Trainee in the Market Risk Oversight team at American Express in Gurgaon through CDC. Having completed my first month at the company, I can confidently say that it has been an incredible experience so far.
2) How did you get into American Express? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure involved an online test, followed by two interviews post shortlisting candidates. All departments were open to apply.
Test: The test comprised three sections. The first section had quant and aptitude MCQs, the second required a basic understanding of ML through MCQs, and the last section was an optional case-solving part. To excel, it is crucial to have good math skills and practice time management to attempt as many questions as possible with accuracy. Specific preparation tailored for Amex was not required.
Practice aptitude from Prepleaf (website) and solve quant puzzles (refer to “Heard on the Street” and “Practical Guide to Quant Finance Interviews” by Xinfeng Zhou).
Regarding difficulties, the case section was initially new to me and took some time to grasp (with its unique interface). However, the other sections can be cracked easily with general quant and aptitude preparation.
The Interviews: I went through two rounds of interviews. In the first one, I was asked to introduce myself and explain why I chose analytics after a degree in Architecture. Later, I discussed a technical project from my CV that I enjoyed the most, addressing general questions and any difficulties I faced. Additionally, thorough research about American Express and its business model proved essential. I was asked about its distinctiveness compared to competitors and given a task to outline criteria for assessing the credibility of a person applying for a credit card.
The second interview was more technical, involving a statistical question on paper with graphs. I was questioned on the process I would follow to obtain specific results, among other inquiries.
The culture at Amex is truly remarkable, fostering an environment conducive to learning and personal growth. Employees are encouraged to enhance their skills in their respective roles and explore projects in different domains. Moreover, the work-life balance is commendable, with flexible hours to accommodate meetings with US teams and Fridays strictly adhering to a 9–5 schedule. Weekends are off, and comprehensive training sessions are provided.
I started my CDC preparation in July and diligently followed a strict timetable on Google Sheets. Setting weekly goals and adhering to them was instrumental. Despite my academic commitments in Architecture, I made it a habit to sleep early, wake up early, and never skip breakfast, ensuring productivity throughout the day. I utilized any free time between classes to practice cases or review my notes.
Consistency played a pivotal role. It is crucial to approach your preparation with a clear mindset, focusing on one task at a time and steadily progressing.
If you are interested in analytics and management, I wholeheartedly encourage you to apply. A finance background can also be advantageous in this field.
Ideally, begin your preparation in August. Determine the profiles you wish to apply for and tailor your preparation accordingly. Trying to tackle everything at once may not be the most effective approach. Towards the end of October and into November, start working on your CV and dedicate time each day to solving puzzles. Practicing HR interviews with friends is highly beneficial. Practice speaking in front of a mirror and seek guidance from seniors. Conduct mock sessions with batchmates you might not know well.
Lastly, don’t be overly apprehensive about the process. Have confidence in your preparation and refrain from comparing yourself to others. Remember to take breaks, spend time with friends, and continue your preparation steadily.
Essential aspects of an analytics CV include data projects (self-driven or internships), participating in competitions, pursuing relevant courses and certifications, and presenting a diverse CV that highlights analytics expertise and extracurricular involvements.

Hi, Swagat here. American Express offered me the position as part of their campus recruitment process on Day 1 during the 2022–23 CDC placement session. American Express recruited me for the role of Management Trainee. Currently, I am onboarded as a Data Scientist for the Fingerprint Team which curates and provides personalized incentives and offers to individual Card Members to drive spend and subsequently increase revenue.
2. How did you get into American Express? What was the selection procedure?
The Selection procedure consisted of a written test that had questions from Data Science, Aptitude, Quant, Reading Comprehension and a Business/Case Study. Post selection through the written round there were two rounds of interviews. The first being a problem-solving round that had questions related to case studies, solving a business problem, guesstimates and puzzles along with a few cv related questions relevant to the role. The next round was with a senior-level official (VP in my case), which was exhaustively based on your CV, previous experience, personality, and communication skills.
As might already be evident from my description of the process, apart from the obvious technical skills like Data Science (ML, DL), Problem-Solving abilities, Case studies and guesstimates it is equally important to be thorough with everything mentioned in your CV. In regards to difficulties, the written test is medium to hard in terms of difficulty, however the actual challenge is time. The questions will be crammed inside a barely enough time limit and so one needs to be absolutely on point and fast. Personally, I would recommend practicing puzzles, quant, reading comprehension and other similar topics to have a good chance of qualifying. For the interview rounds, it is imperative to be confident and have clarity of thoughts that will eventually be reflected in the answers you give.
Well, being presently in the onboarding phase I am yet to receive any ‘targets’ or ‘deadlines’, nevertheless looking around me and the people I have interacted with have provided a lot of positive insights about the impact of the work that is being carried out at the office, even at an individual level across various teams. American Express values relationships as it is at the heart of its business and the organization cares for its colleagues through a variety of programs and benefits that even extend to your family members.
Preparing for CDC placements is not something one accomplishes in a couple of months or so. It is a long process that starts in your pre-final year when one starts applying for CDC internships. That is the time one figures out the domains that are relevant to them and then prepares accordingly. In my case, as I had previous experience in Data Science as well as SDE, I was preparing for both. The formal preparation for placements in December started in the month of May-June alongside my summer Internship. During vacations, one doesn’t have to worry much about academics and although an internship can take up time, it is important to find some time every day to study topics and/or practice questions so as to have some momentum. As the academic semester starts in July-August, use that momentum to squeeze out time from everyday schedules into the preparations. It is immensely important to have friends and wingmates who are preparing with you as well. Always stay well informed about updates in both coursework and from CDC.
If you are someone with a genuine interest in analyst roles in data or business then you may consider American Express as your first company as American Express is a great place to work with very strong values and extensive avenues for growth. Feel free to check out American Express — Who We Are!
Regularly keep in touch with people for important updates, progress in preparations, and for any general fundae or help. This period will consist of some of your most stressful months of life and hence it is important to keep communicating with your friends and seniors and even family members. Apart from this on a personal basis make sure to take care of yourself by eating on time and ensuring you are getting proper nutrition. Drink plenty of water and carry water bottles especially when traveling to Nalanda during tests or interviews. Take care of people around you as well because everyone has different capacities to handle stress and even different responses to the same. Irrespective of the outcome of what company you get an offer from or what ‘package’ is offered to you, the single most important thing a placement season does to you is develop you as a person. With honest efforts and sincerity, you will come out as a very refined person by the time everything concludes. I’d like to leave you with a quote:
“It’s not enough to WANT something
You must have the HUNGER for it
Your motivation needs to be ABSOLUTE
And your resolve COMPLETE.”
Kudos and Best Wishes for the upcoming CDC season. Peace ✌

Hi, my name is Vaibhav Prasad, and I am a 2023 graduate from IIT Kharagpur with a bachelors in Agricultural and Food Engineering and an integrated masters in Financial Engineering. I received a placement offer from the Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) Banking Group during the 2022–23 campus placements for the role of a model risk management (MRM) quant.
There are different roles in the field of quant finance such as the MRM quant (model validation), quant developer (software oriented), quant researcher (model development) and desk quant (monitoring). The MRM role involves validating model foundations and stress-testing edge cases to ensure model soundness.
2) How did you get into ANZ? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process for the interview was purely resume shortlisting. I faced 1 interview round, lasting about 45 minutes which consisted of questions on the projects listed on my resume, and other questions on various topics from quant finance such as econometrics, stochastic processes, derivatives, and risk modeling.
I would recommend being absolutely thorough with almost everything listed on your resume. Apart from clarity on your projects, knowledge of the subjects listed above would be crucial. For the preparation of the latter, I recommend courses either from online sources or from the institute. These courses under the financial engineering curriculum are available as additional/ electives at KGP. Finally, in general, for quant interviews, one should be prepared with probability and statistics, and practice various challenging problems from popular sources such as Brainstellar, heard on the street, 50 challenging problems in probability and a guide to quant interviews, and also important concepts of data structures and algorithms such as greedy, binary search, STL, dynamic programming and graphs.
4) How did you manage your time alongside academics and extracurriculars (if any) to prepare for CDC?
Holding mock interviews with my friends helped me a lot in preparing my resume. I revised the subjects from my curriculum material for finance topics such as econometrics and derivatives. Planning out the preparation strategically, including timely revision of data structures and algorithms and probability challenges, and utilizing the DP holidays also facilitated my prep. I used to practice 4–5 medium-level DSA problems almost daily. Probability puzzles require around 2 weeks of practice to develop confidence in them. Finally, the last week before Day 1, I focused on resume and HR prep. Additionally, one could consider attending classes regularly to ensure reduced loads during exam times and save other time for placement prep.
Those who have explored the quant field, are intrigued by the mystical world of the application of mathematical models in finance, and have a knack for statistics should definitely prepare for these roles. The quant developer roles converge a bit to exclusivity as one’s career progresses, and mrm quant careers open opportunities in all other quant roles in the future as well. Quant roles are available in various multinational retail banks, investment banks, as well as domestic and foreign trading firms.
6) What specific advice would you give to the junta to handle stressful situations and maintain their calm?
All the hard work that one has done both in their school as well as in college, comes forth to defend them on judgment day. Believe in yourself and your achievements, head out with confidence, and conquer the placements.
7) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
Major points for consideration for your resume:

Hi everyone! I am Mohit Gupta, a postgraduate student from Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering department specializing in Visual Information and Embedded Systems from IIT Kharagpur. I recently got an SDE role in the Hardware Technology Team from Apple during last year’s placement season. The offered role requires a good understanding of wireless communication, embedded systems, Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), and 5G/4G/multimode cellular firmware development for the silicon design group.
2) How did you get into Apple-SW-HWT? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process consists of four rounds, among which the first was an online test and three interviews, in which two were technical rounds, and one was HR discussion types. An online coding round consisted of two C-language coding questions and 14 MCQs on the hacker rank platform, which lasted 60 minutes.
The interview process for this profile at Apple consisted of three rounds — the first round covered topics such as embedded systems, RTOS, communication, and digital image processing.
The second round delved deeper into the MTech thesis, RTOS, process synchronization, memory management, interrupts, and other technical concepts.
The final round involved discussing the candidate’s background, goals, and fit for the role and allowing them to ask questions. The interviewers evaluated technical knowledge and aptitude through coding questions and aptitude questions. Overall, the interview covered a wide range of topics and aimed to assess the candidate’s expertise in embedded systems and related concepts.
To excel in a Software Development role, it is essential to have a solid foundation in data structures, and algorithms and strong problem-solving skills. Apple’s interview process prioritizes a thorough understanding of the basics rather than focusing on advanced concepts. Platforms like LeetCode and GeeksforGeeks are highly recommended for their concept-based questions and extensive discussion sections, making them valuable resources for coding preparation. A recommended approach is starting with a few medium-level questions daily, gradually increasing the difficulty, and incorporating easy questions for motivation. Covering around 400+ questions can instill confidence for coding rounds, emphasizing the importance of both quantity and quality by targeting different problem patterns.
Additionally, comprehensive knowledge of fundamental Computer Science subjects, including OOPS, Operating Systems, COA, and others, is crucial. Mock coding tests should be regularly taken to simulate interview conditions, and understanding the company background can provide an advantage. Time management is vital, ensuring that all necessary topics are covered and revising concepts focusing on comprehension rather than rote memorization.
Apple has created a recognized workplace culture that places a high value on collaboration, quality, and invention. The dynamic and innovative workplace inspires staff to challenge and seize new opportunities. Apple prioritizes diversity and inclusion and understands the importance of having a diverse workforce to introduce unique views and ideas. Apple is committed to assisting people in balancing their personal and professional lives, particularly in work-life balance. The organization provides several initiatives and programmes, such as flexible work schedules and tools for efficient task management, to assist employees in maintaining a good work-life balance. The workplace culture at Apple values work-life balance and employee well-being while simultaneously encouraging cooperation, creativity, and excellence.
Being an MTech student, I focussed on my academics for the first two semesters and tried to maintain a decent CGPA and then from the third semester, we had thesis work only. So, I easily got time to prepare for placements and my thesis, and I have to manage my time wisely. Apart from this, I always tried to refresh my mind by going out with friends and chilling with them because that’s also important.
Students aspiring to become software developers should consider applying for the SDE role at Apple, especially with the company’s plans to expand its software base in India. Joining Apple as an SDE offers tremendous career growth opportunities and a chance to learn and contribute to a company that impacts the lives of millions of users. Ideal candidates for this role are passionate about technology and driven to make a significant difference. They will have the privilege of collaborating with some of the brightest minds in the industry, enhancing their skills and expertise.
Coding should be a significant focus for tech roles, accounting for around 70% of your preparation time. Plan your time wisely during tests, determining whether to aim for a full or partial solution. Test performance is vital in how interviewers perceive you with limited information. Striving for solid test results can leave a positive impression. Consistency is key, with daily preparation and completion of at least one coding question. Effective communication and confidence are crucial during interviews. Conducting mock interviews and understanding concepts rather than memorizing is essential. Think out loud and showcase your best abilities during the interview process, and you can give your best that way :)
To enhance your chances, showcasing knowledge of embedded systems, RTOS, and wireless communication is beneficial, as these are valuable skills. Highlight relevant projects in these fields (since I was asked about them in an interview). Tailor your CV structure based on the targeted profile. For tech roles, prioritize projects and internships over extracurricular or exceptional achievements. Summarize each heading in concise bullet points, emphasizing outcomes rather than methods. Ensure a well-formatted CV and maintain consistency in the number of points under each heading. Customize your CV for different profiles, utilizing the option to submit up to three CVs. Lastly, seek input from seniors to maximize the effectiveness of your work.

I am Debraj Chatterjee (19IM10039). I finished my B.Tech. in Industrial and Systems Engineering from IIT Kharagpur in 2023.I was offered the role of ‘Associate Consultant’ at Bain & Co. in the previous placement season of 2022–2023, which is a management consulting firm, part of the coveted management consulting trio of MBB (McKinsey & Co., Bain & Co., and Boston Consulting Group (BCG)).
The domain of management consulting deals with analyzing problems and recommending solutions to organizations (corporate as well as government) who are in need of it. The offered role is the first step for an undergraduate to get into the world of management consulting full-time.
2) How did you get into Bain? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process for Bain & Co. (and generally for other on-campus management consulting firms also) starts with the CV submission around the first week of October. After that, the shortlists come within 10–15 days. If you are shortlisted, the company allots 1–2 ‘buddies’ to you. The buddies are usually previous alumni from your respective college who are there to answer all of your questions regarding the upcoming interview process, any doubts you might have about the work or the company, and to help you prepare for the interviews by doing mock ‘cases’ or essentially mock interviews.
You can expect that a buddy will do 1–3 mock cases with you before the actual interview.
The actual interviews happen before Day 1 (which is on 1st December usually). Therefore, these companies are also called ‘Day 0’ companies. There were 2 interviews for Bain & Co. on 30th November 2023. For McKinsey & Co. (for which also I had a shortlist), there was one interview on 28th November and another one on 30th November. The companies usually roll out the offers on Day 0, therefore you will be one of the first people on campus to have received a placement offer during the placement season!
3) How to prepare for the role? What difficulties did you face during this time?
Management consulting interviews have 2 parts — (1) The Case Interview, and (2) Personal Experience / Fit Interview.
The Case Interview –
The case interview is the part of the interview where the interviewer (who is usually a senior partner or manager at the firm) will give you a business situation (or sometimes even absurd business-unrelated situations — commonly called as unconventional cases!) which you will have to analyze, draw out more information from the interview, pinpoint causes for the problem/best avenues for undertaking and finally recommend solutions based upon your analysis.
All of this can take anywhere from 25–45 minutes depending upon the interviewer’s mood (some cases can be shorter while in others the interviewer just keeps you to do more and more things for them as the case goes on).
Regarding preparing for case interviews, there are a number of popular resources available like Victor Cheng, Crafting Cases, casebooks from IIMs, IITs, DU, Wharton, Columbia, etc.To prepare for them one must start by understanding and developing an understanding of cases and how to proceed with them. After some theoretical knowledge, students should form ‘case groups’ with other students who are also preparing for the same and conduct similar mock interviews with each other and work on the feedback.
It is difficult to write everything down mainly because of the countless points surrounding the preparation, so I will be happy to help anyone who wants to know further if they contact me.
The Personal Experience / Fit Interview –
In this part of the interview, the interviewer will ask situation-based questions to check whether you will be a good fit for the role and the culture of the company. Some common questions are –
“Introduce yourself / Walk me through your resume” (This question is sure to pop up, so prepare well)“Tell me an instance wherein you put mind over matter”“Tell me an instance of a difficult situation you faced at work with people who did not agree with you. How did you overcome it?”, etc.
People often do not prepare well for the fit interview but it is as important as the case interview.
Throughout the interview, it is important to be well-structured and logical in your approach and answers (even for the fit interview questions!)
There is a list of common fit interview questions available on the McKinsey and Bain websites, which makes the preparation a bit easier.
Difficulties faced during the time –
In terms of difficulties that I faced during the time is the constant worry of whether I would actually get a shortlist because if you don’t all the time spent in preparation before that goes to waste. I had not gotten a shortlist for BCG (which had come off-campus in August) just after I had started preparation so it was a big blow to my hopes and self-confidence. Yet, seniors had told me that my CV was almost sure to get shortlisted so I kept preparing however the lingering thought always kept troubling me.I had also rejected a coveted PPO from Nomura, so the thought of potential regret if I did not receive a shortlist also weighed heavy on my mind. However, thankfully it turned out well in the end.
There were also problems in finding people to practice cases with mainly because there were not many in the B.Tech. batch whom I knew that were preparing and also it was difficult to find people who were at similar preparation levels. Practicing with people who are too behind or too ahead in their preparation journey can be fruitless and even worse, intimidating.
However, this problem, I believe will be vanishing soon as consulting is becoming extremely popular in KGP nowadays.
Since I have not yet joined Bain and started working, I can’t really give first-hand experience about the work culture or work-life balance in the company. However, from what I have heard from people at Bain and also reading reviews is that Bain & Co. is the most fun of all of the 3 MBB companies to work in with a healthy balance of work and fun. Bain & Co. has also been named as the best place to work by Glassdoor for many years which also gives the claims some credibility.
However, in terms of the general notion around management consulting, it is said that the work hours are long and can get stressful. However, it also comes with the benefits of a steep learning curve and multiple great exit options, hence people like working hard to fulfill their dreams in the future.
It was hard managing academics alongside preparation. However, I always say that just going to class takes care of everything. I tried to remain disciplined and went to class as much as possible. By actually paying attention in class and understanding some parts, it did not take much time to prepare before the examinations and I actually had a 9.5+ SGPA in the placement semester.
Also, regarding extracurriculars, I used to devote some time weekly to TeamKART wherein my juniors were manufacturing the car for the competition in January so that I could guide them a bit. I liked doing it because of my love for the work involved in building the car and hence it was a great source of relaxation for me.
To keep my mind fresh, I used to go to the gym daily because it was a great way of releasing my stress and I recommend everyone to do it, especially during the placement season. It helped my mind function better. Regular meditation also helped a lot.
Playing the guitar while taking breaks from the preparation was also a great stimulant for creativity which was essential in solving cases.
I feel the important thing is to do things that you really, really love and that is the key to keeping your spirits high and mind functioning well.
I feel people who like analyzing businesses and the problems surrounding them should consider management consulting as a possible option. It also involves a lot of creating stories (or hypotheses) from the data you have for a problem and validating whether they are correct and if they are, to think of solutions for the same.
If analysis and problem-solving from a business perspective is something that piques your interest, it can be a good fit for you. Also, a great way of understanding whether it will be a good fit for you is to go ahead and take part in some case study competitions. If you like the work involved in these competitions, it is highly likely you would like management consulting also.
It’s just that management consulting is not the end all of everything and certainly MBB are not the only firms in this domain. There are a lot of other companies that are doing amazing work in this field. Also, not getting into management consulting now does not mean you will not be able to get into anymore. People get in after MBA (wherein it is much easier with more number of openings), or even after working for many years in a completely unrelated field mainly because these firms always keep needing people with diverse knowledge and skill sets on their projects.
Consulting firms look for a well-rounded CV that shows a lot of impact that you have created in various domains. They look for ‘spikes’ or indicators of a work well done in each heading. For example, having a Department Rank 1,2,3 is a ‘spike’ which shows that you did well in your academics.
Hence, having a CV with lots of spikes in each section and working in lots of different domains along with a healthy amount of extracurriculars is the recipe for success.
The CV should be very well structured with lots of numerical results showing the impact of your work in all the sections. There are a lot of resources for tips on building a proper CV online. One can also look at the CVs of people who have been previously placed to get an idea. It is also a good idea to get your CV verified by lots of seniors and alumni to improve it. This will also give you an idea about the chances of getting a shortlist and hence, give you an idea about whether you should actually consider preparing for consulting or not.
Here is the resume that I used during my placement.
For further questions, I would ask people to contact me personally.

I am Avilipsa Tripathy from 2yrs M.Sc Geology. It is a pleasure to inform you that I have received a job offer from Cairn Oil & Gas Vedanta Ltd.
So yeah! As I have already introduced myself and now talking about my job role I’ll be going to work as a GET (Graduate Engineer Trainee) in the company or you can call it, a geologist.
2) How did you get into Cairn Oil & Gas Vedanta Ltd.? What was the selection procedure?
There are 4 rounds for the selection procedure.
Firstly, the HR team will go through all the CVs that you have prepared in your institute ERP profile and accordingly, they shortlist some students for the CBT. So, try to get a better CGPA as it matters for shortlisting to the 2nd step.
For the online test you have to read obviously geology and some aptitudes also come. Try to cover the geophysics and petroleum geology part thoroughly as many questions have come from this field. But you have to read also the other topics.
For these two rounds, I didn’t face any difficulties. But for the third round i.e., GD I had some problems. For GD you can get some knowledge from the internet about some current topics or you can simply search GD topics from any source.
Honestly, I had not prepared for GD and I was in great fear of how to speak in front of the students and the HR team. In my case, I wasn’t able to tell a single word in the beginning but I was connecting all the points in my mind that my batchmates were telling at that time. The team also gave the chance to all the participants to speak and some of us got the chance to conclude the GD and at that time I concluded with some of the points that I had thought. So, my suggestion will be always to try to enter the GD politely, and in any case, if you do not get the chance to speak then try to conclude it logically.
In the most important round i.e, for the interview, 1st you should all go through your CVs carefully like each and every skill and experience you have mentioned. They may ask from your internship topics what you have done and learned from that. Your dissertation topic is also a source of questions for your interview. As it’s an oil company many questions are also asked from the well logging part. They may also show you the logging charts and ask you accordingly.
Since, I haven’t joined yet, but as much as I have conversed with the present employees of the company, I have heard the work culture is good but challenging. The 12-hour work shift is a difficult task but since the work is dynamic, there is no fixed number of hours of work as such.Cherishing every moment in the company could be the only way to balance life with work.
According to me if you want to pursue a career in geology then Oil company would be great. Firstly the salary of the offered job is quite good and you will get a chance to work in the real field as a geologist with many experienced seniors.
Your life will become stressful if you are unable to set your goal. First, set your goal on which career path you are best and then you can enjoy the work. Don’t set up your goals in multiple directions.
Secondly, everyone gets demotivated easily so, watch some motivational videos or anything else you like from the internet or share your feelings with your mom, dad, friends, or anybody who is close to your heart to avoid those thoughts at that time. Don’t act like a fool by taking the wrong steps. Before that just imagine your MOM and DAD’s smiling faces and try to do those things which can make them happy. You can surely overcome all the stress and difficulties.
Go through some of the CVs of your seniors. Try to get some experience in companies like ONGC, CIL, OIL, or any state Mining sector. You can also mention your research topic during your internship. Try to write the real skills that you have possessed not any fake information.

1)Brief Introduction and description of your offered role.
Hi guys, I am Rohan Roy, a Master’s student in Geology at IIT Kharagpur. I have just completed my degree from the Department of Geology and Geophysics and will be joining Cairn Oil and Gas soon. At Cairn, I am currently offered a position as a Graduate Engineering Trainee (GET), and it will be changed after the completion of the training period.
2) How did you get into Cairn Oil & Gas Vedanta Limited? What was the selection procedure?
The role was open only to Geology and Exploration Geophysics students. The selection procedure consists of three rounds. After each round, they have shortlisted some of the candidates. Initially, there was a MCQ online test conducted by the Vedanta group, which mostly consisted of 30 questions, out of which 5 were from aptitude and the rest were from geology and geophysics. After clearing the initial MCQ test, we have to prepare for the group discussion session. All the selected candidates are divided into two groups, and each group gets a topic (in my case, the topic was “Indian Education System Should Require a Reform, Yes or No”), and we have to discuss and present our thoughts in front of the panel. The final round was the personal interview session. Almost 10 to 15 candidates had been selected for this round, and the panel was more focused on what you have mentioned in your CV, you should be very clear about what you are going to present in front of them. It was Day 1 of the placement drive, and fortunately, I got the first offer from Cairn Oil and Gas.
You do not need very hectic preparation for this core field of companies. If you are very attentive in your regular classes, then you should be very clear about the basics. The main foundations of any interview are the basics and self-confidence. For instance, in group discussions, you should be respectful of your fellow members and always try to maintain the decorum of a fruitful discussion. You could get some advantage if you start the conversation, but as you are starting, you should be very prompt about your statement. You could carry a pen and paper for taking notes as soon as you get to the topic of discussion. Moreover, in GD, (1) be prompt, (2) find out some unique points, and (3) never start any argument; rather, try to calm everyone if any argument happens. (4) Believe in your statement first and make it more convincing through your communication skills. Before going for PI, you should thoroughly study your own CV and make sure you know every word in it. Then follow some references regarding the company and try to find out about their recent achievements and projects. The panel mostly asks you about the basics of geology and geophysics and is mostly linked to the topics and projects that you have mentioned in your CV. If you are not comfortable with some questions, please don’t panic and don’t try to give any absurd answers. You can simply avoid the question if you are not familiar with it. My panel consists of four individuals. Two of them were asking me questions regarding well-logging and seismic section interpretation, mostly from my previous internship projects. There was no separate HR round, but in the same panel, one of them asked me, “Why do I want to do this job, and what are my strengths and weaknesses?” “And how do I try to overcome those weaknesses?” For these types of questions, you can refer to many YouTube videos, which could be more helpful than my suggestion. Keep your CGPA as high as possible. Though there was no cutoff CGPA for Cairn Oil and Gas placement, So it is better to make it favorable for you. Don’t think about the difficulties; you have plenty of time to prepare your basics, and that’s the main foundation.
Frankly, I am not the right person for this question, but as per what I can hear from my seniors who have been working there for a couple of years, the work-life balance was very pleasant at Cairn Oil and Gas. Most of my colleagues are helpful and supportive. However, it depends on the person as well. Nevertheless, Cairn Oil and Gas is the largest private oil exploration and exploitation company in India. They have achieved a goal of 25% of total domestic crude oil extraction and will be targeting to fulfill the energy requirement of up to 50% in India. So, it is a very reputed company to start your career in this oil and gas field.
I know it is very hectic to do 8 am-5 pm regular classes along with the preparation of the placement. But as it is core company most of the topics and skills have been covered in the class itself. Our departmental professors are very much helpful and they always try to guide us and clear our doubts despite their busy schedules. Extracurricular activities are not so necessary for this job profile. You just need to focus on your study and clear your basics.
Most geology, geophysics, petroleum engineering, and mining engineering students are allowed to appear for this job profile.
Hey, it’ll be your first job, right? Make it memorable. Even if you are thinking that you are probably lagging behind, don’t stress out. Make a list of your strengths and weaknesses in each subject. Read your internship project report carefully. Start working on your weak parts, and if you feel it is very difficult to understand, leave it , focus on your strengths, and be happy. Look, a new semester is going to start, and it’s your time to make KGP proud. Don’t think about the result of placements; just give 100 percent so that you never regret it. All the best. For any specific problem regarding geology, you can always contact me on any social networking site. I would be happy to help you.
Just (1) clarify your basic concepts. (2) improve your communication skills; (3) read your CV more and more. (4) Don’t be fake about anything; be yourself in your CV and during the interview.

Greetings, my name is Praveen Yadav, and I have recently completed my academic journey with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur. I have been offered a significant career opportunity through the campus recruitment process at Jaguar Land Rover during the 2022–23 CDC placement session.
Jaguar Land Rover stands as the United Kingdom’s preeminent automotive manufacturer, and it proudly falls under the illustrious umbrella of the TATA Group. This globally renowned company is acclaimed for its exceptional design, manufacturing prowess, and the marketing of some of the most iconic premium automobiles worldwide.
My prospective role within Jaguar Land Rover is that of a Graduate Mechatronics Engineer, which entails a range of compelling responsibilities. These duties primarily revolve around the creation, seamless integration, and timely release of cutting-edge systems, components, and vehicles. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the innovative spirit and technological advancement synonymous with Jaguar Land Rover’s legacy in the automotive industry.
2) How did you get into JLR? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) consisted of four distinct stages:
1. Resume Shortlisting: The initial step in the selection process involved the shortlisting of resumes, with a stipulated CGPA cutoff of 6.5. It’s important to note that CGPA played a pivotal role in this phase, particularly in core industries. To enhance your chances of being shortlisted, it is advisable to maintain a CGPA of at least 7.5.
2. Technical Test: The subsequent shortlisting phase was determined by the outcomes of a technical test. This test was adaptive in nature, meaning that the difficulty level of subsequent questions depended on the accuracy of previous answers. Solving more challenging questions yielded higher scores. The technical test consisted of both programming and mechatronics questions.
3. Statement of Purpose (SOP): Prior to the final interviews, candidates were required to submit a Statement of Purpose (SOP) of approximately 500 words. This document served as a platform for applicants to articulate their motivations, aspirations, and alignment with the company’s values.
4. Final Interview: This round included both technical and HR questions and lasted around 90 minutes in my case.
CV-Based Questions: During this segment of the interview, I was probed about my involvement in the Inter-IIT competition, which featured a problem statement from JLR itself. Additionally, I shared insights from my experiences with TeamKart and the valuable lessons gleaned from my automobile-oriented projects. My enthusiasm for the cutting-edge technology deployed by leading automotive companies, along with my affiliation with TeamKart, was well-received.
Core and Applied Understanding: To assess my technical acumen, I encountered questions pertaining to core mechanical subjects. Given my affiliation with the automotive research group, I was bombarded with topics such as suspensions, regenerative braking, weight transfer, engines, and controls, including PID and LQR controllers.
Coding and Puzzles: This segment of the interview involved coding questions eg; linked lists, strings, and trees. Additionally, a series of puzzles were asked to evaluate general aptitude. These coding challenges and puzzles were of moderate difficulty, and I was occasionally asked to provide hard-coded solutions to demonstrate the depth of my understanding. This stage essentially served as a differentiator in the context of HR interviews.
HR and SOP-Based Questions: The HR component of the interview resembled a conventional HR round. A thorough understanding of the company, its pioneering innovations, and its core values proved to be advantageous. Authenticity and confidence were key in this phase, and attempting to fabricate information was discouraged.
Overall, it was one of my best interview experiences. I was also able to put a smile on the faces of the interviewers by tailoring some quirky sarcasm and humor in my answers to lighten up the mood (do it at your personal risk, it may go the other way around). Include your relevance to JLR as much as possible in interviews. Talk about the latest work and how you might be the perfect fit.
My preparations commenced approximately 2–3 months before the placement season, although the ideal timeframe may vary depending on your target companies and profiles. In my case, I dedicated substantial effort to practice tests related to the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) to reinforce my core concepts efficiently within a limited span.
Moreover, proficiency in competitive coding at a moderate level was essential to successfully navigate the technical test. It is noteworthy that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) , although a core company, incorporates coding questions into their selection process, necessitating thorough preparation in this aspect.
When it comes to crafting your Curriculum Vitae (CV), prior clarity regarding your target companies is imperative. Tailoring your CV to reflect your skills and align them with the specific requirements of your desired roles is essential. At IIT Kharagpur, we have the privilege of creating up to three CVs, a resource that should be utilized judiciously. Employing power verbs effectively to underscore your contributions to projects, internships, and positions of responsibility (PORs) is crucial.
Proofreading your CV, preferably with input from experienced seniors is invaluable. It is paramount to maintain accuracy and integrity in your CV, avoiding any exaggerations or fabrications, as such actions can potentially have adverse consequences.
For coding preparation, focusing on resources such as Interviewbit and GeeksforGeeks (GFG) should suffice to excel in this phase.
Regarding the mechatronics section, a comprehensive review of class notes and a steadfast commitment to fundamental principles are recommended. Conducting mock GATE tests can serve as a valuable gauge of your applied understanding and areas in need of improvement.
For the aptitude section, honing your problem-solving skills with puzzles and questions from sources like “Fifty Challenging Problems” and “Heard on the Street” is advantageous. These skills are transferable and can prove useful in the selection tests of various other companies as well.
As for interview preparation, it is advisable to commence mock interviews as early as November. This early start ensures ample time to refine your interview skills, given that shortlists are typically announced in December, leaving limited time for preparation thereafter.
Before my interview with JLR, I had successfully passed six rounds of interviews with AB InBev, a day 0 company. This prior experience significantly contributed to my final preparations.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) boasts a unique organizational culture that seamlessly blends the advantages of an established corporation with the vibrancy of a startup environment. Within JLR, accessibility knows no bounds, as you can readily engage with individuals ranging from your manager and CFO to tech leads.
JLR India is unwavering in its commitment to innovation, thoughtfully allocating resources according to the 80–20 percentage rule, striking a balance between corporate projects and research endeavors. The dynamic nature of the team keeps you constantly engaged, fostering exponential personal and professional growth.
In terms of work-life culture, JLR stands out as exemplary when compared to other companies.. The flexibility to prioritize projects aligns with individual preferences, allowing for a harmonious work-life equilibrium. JLR’s dedication to its employees is evident through an array of programs and benefits that extend not only to you but also to your family members. Furthermore, being a part of the TATA family entitles you to a range of additional advantages.
Clarity and a methodical approach are paramount. Rather than meandering, it is advisable to formulate a precise plan with clear priorities for your preparations.
In my case, my prior engagement in various mechatronics projects, notably TeamKart, provided me with invaluable hands-on exposure to mechanical concepts. This practical experience enhanced my comprehension of the subject matter.
Additionally, it is beneficial to participate in extracurricular activities, whether in the realm of sports or music. Such engagement not only serves as a source of motivation but also keeps you actively involved and engaged throughout your preparation journey.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) typically offers opportunities in three distinct roles: Software, Embedded, and Mechatronics teams. Aspiring candidates should earnestly consider these roles, and for those interested in Mechatronics, a solid understanding of mechanical concepts is invaluable. It is, indeed, an ideal prospect for those seeking a rewarding career in the automotive industry through campus recruitment.
In terms of technical qualifications, engaging in projects within the core mechanical domain, particularly in the automotive sector, serves as a significant advantage although not necessary.
Foremost, it is crucial to stay well-informed about the CDC timeline, particularly the CV submission deadline. While confidence in your selection prospects is commendable, it is prudent to have backup options in case circumstances do not align as expected.
It’s essential to maintain resilience and not be disheartened by any setbacks, as they are an inevitable part of this phase. In the realm of core industries, opportunities may be limited, so mentally preparing yourself to give your best effort in every endeavor is essential.
Moreover, diversifying your preparations beyond the core field is advisable. Consider exploring roles such as Product Manager, which do not heavily emphasize coding (especially if coding is not your forte). Such roles often prioritize strong aptitude and effective communication skills.
P.S. — Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or require assistance.

My name is Jób. I graduated from Kharagpur in ’23 with an interdisciplinary dual degree of Bachelors in Mining Engineering and Masters in Engineering Entrepreneurship (EP). JCB Hall.
I was offered the role of “Product Manager — Retail Assets” at Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited on the 3rd Day of the December 2022 CDC Placements.
This is a typical Product Manager (PM) fresher role you would find at a Bank and it falls under the category of a “Business Product Manager” — i.e., unlike “Tech PMs”, the majority of your time would be spent in developing/improving the business aspect of financial products.
2) How did you get into Kotak? What was the selection procedure?
The Kotak interview happened early morning on Day 3.
There was no pre-screen exam for this role. Just one interview which lasted for about 30 minutes with 3 interviewers on a Zoom call.
It included your typical consulting questions of estimating a market size, a business case of improving certain aspects of a business and a product question along the lines of “if you were creating an app for so and so purpose what would be the features involved/what would be your evaluation matrices”.
There was also a small HR round where one of the interviewers asked questions pertaining to the motive of joining a bank, motive of becoming a PM, educational background, etc.
That is the gist of the selection procedure.
Frankly, I was targeting consult roles, and business analytic roles so PMing was at the end of my choice list, my plan C.
Product related roles didn’t really need additional preparations as my dual degree was in EP and the coursework sufficiently covered the PM role.
Thinking about placement preparation in general, I did face a lot of uncertainty. For the non-tech roles like Product Management, the CV plays a huge hand in bagging an interview which is quite certainly something you can not control 2 months before the placements. This is the 1st level of uncertainty — whether your CV would be shortlisted or not.
In my case, I was satisfied and confident in my CV and most of my preparation were targeted towards cracking the interviews. The questions asked in interviews on the other hand are company-specific. Interviewers ask questions tailor made to the role that they are hiring you for. Here is where the 2nd level of uncertainty kicks in. With the overload of companies coming in, you cannot risk to prepare for a single company only. The diversification of your preparation then throws you into a state of “I don’t know what to do”.
The heuristic that I followed was simple — follow the case-interview consulting pathway of solving business cases and guesstimates. This, I found out was the bare bones of non-tech preparation. For product specifically, I’d suggest non-EP students to learn market research, product development, and business modelling.
For a cross-functional role such as product management, most of my work entails working with dozens of different teams and pushing a business agenda onto them. What I have realized so far interacting with them is that there might be little to no correlation between the company culture and the culture of the microcosm you would be working with, this non-correlation-ship is even more pronounced in the banking industry where individuals have diverse backgrounds.
So, only the company culture might not be the best indicator to encapsulate the culture you would face at the workplace. However, if you did really want to break the cultural aspect, there are three layers to it — (1) Industry Culture, (2) Company Culture (3) Team Culture — all in increasing order of how they will impact the workplace culture you would experience and decreasing amount of uncertainty of prediction of how they would actually be.
With that in mind, I hope you understand that any comments on work-life balance/culture would only introduce personal bias.
I have seen only a very few select students indulging in non-CDC-related pursuits during the placement season. The few I know have done a great job of maintaining that balance and acing the CDC.
The academic load depends on your course. The 9th semester of EP is relatively not loaded.
I realized this after I started working, really — the PM role is an absolute ace of a role for you to fast-track your corporate ladder journey.
If you aim to work in corporate, long term, you would eventually wind up running some vertical of the business 10 years from now. The PM role helps you getting yourself into a steep learning curve to understand a business from the bottom up.
If you see yourself 10 years from now running the business of a marquee company, PMing is a good way to start your journey.
There was this one time I was cycling towards Nalanda for my end sem-exam and my the time I reached Gate 5 I realized that I forgot my ID card back in my room.
5 minutes later I am again at Gate 5, with my ID now cycling towards Nalanda 10 minutes late for the exam when I noticed someone cycling in front of me wearing one of those “Keep Calm” tees. That made my stress go from 101% to 1%. It’s just an exam, what is the worst that’ll happen.
That is probably the advice I’d want to give the junta. Imagine the worst possible scenario, imagine it in all its glory, think about it real good. And then prepare yourself for it.
I did flunk 7–8 day 1 interviews because I didn’t sleep for 48 hours before the placements as we had our thesis presentation just a before day 0 (don’t do the mistake I did, have a good night’s sleep).
What’s the worst that would happen? Day 2, 3, 4… I’ve had well-deserving friends wait till day 10 for their 1st interview. What’s the worst that can happen? Be stronger than that scenario and anything easier thrown at you would be a cakewalk.

Hi, I am Raushan Sharma, a 2023 graduate from IIT Kharagpur, completing my 5-year Integrated M.Sc. in Mathematics and Computing. I am a math enthusiast and like appreciating the beauty of intriguing problems and innovative solutions.
I have been offered the role of Software Developer at Mastercard, which involves leveraging cutting-edge technologies and software tools to work on the backend of various platforms created by Mastercard to align with their mission of making payments safe, secure and smart. Specifically, I contribute to the disputes and chargebacks handling system, and with the volume of transactions happening each second worldwide, one can imagine how secure and trustworthy dispute resolution should be!
2. How did you get into Mastercard? What was the selection procedure?
The first stage in the selection procedure was CV shortlisting, followed by an online coding round, which consisted of 2 programming questions with a time limit of 1 hour. Questions were of easy-medium level. One problem was an easy adhoc problem involving arrays and the other one was a dp question of Leetcode-medium level. A decent practice from InterviewBit and Leetcode will give you an edge in performing well in this round.
After this, there was a Pymetrics test sent to the shortlisted candidates, which had some neuroscience games to evaluate one’s behaviour and personality. This was however non-eliminatory and next were the interview rounds.
Next, the interview process had three rounds — Two technical rounds and an HR round.
For the online coding round, solving problems from InterviewBit and LeetCode would be quite beneficial. Most importantly, you must practice a good amount of problems on dp and graph algorithms. I used to follow cp algorithms website for good implementations of various data structures and algorithms in C++.
Be prepared with OOPS and Operating System (especially Concurrent processing/multithreading and memory management topics) concepts for the Interviews. Going through company-specific interview experiences from GeeksForGeeks before your interviews, and practicing mock interviews with your friends or seniors could help a lot because it’s important that you communicate your ideas clearly during interviews and that develops with time and experience (mock interviews help in this).
Coping up with regular placement tests along with the semester load is indeed difficult and you have to remain motivated and give your best in all the tests. Also, while you complete your internships in July and Placement process starts by the first week of October, practice well from InterviewBit and Leetcode to do well in the coding rounds. Study core CS concepts like OOPS, DBMS and OS alongwith, because during November last week, there’s not enough time and you might not have that state of mind to grasp so many new things together. While nothing can be said regarding the global economic slowdown, you can do your best to grab whatever opportunity is presented before you.
One more thing, during this hectic CDC placements process, your schedule might not allow you to have meals at hall mess most of the time, and sometimes not even enough time to have at night canteens. Remember, being healthy during such times is equally important to perform and you should not starve. Keep having light snacks during breaks between the tests, and always be mindful of your day’s schedule.
Mastercard embraces a dynamic and inclusive environment and the work culture fosters collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. With a focus on teamwork and continuous learning, they push boundaries and drive impactful solutions in the fast-paced world of payment technology so that in the transactions between typical Alice and Bob, the adversary Oscar can’t disrupt things xD.And, as for work-life balance, it’s a pretty chill environment here, with no strict rules on work timings, and supports a healthy work-life balance.
Well, academics are surely important, and the CDC process goes on parallelly during the semester, so it’s advised that you be updated with academics early on in the semester and do well enough in the midsems, since placements start post-midsems. The more organized you are, the better you would be able to manage different things. Also, you should at least start working on your final year project early on in the semester, so that it would reduce the burden later on when all of academics, projects and CDC preparations pile up together.
If Data Structures and Algorithms is something that interests you, and you like problem-solving, you are good to go and apply for this job profile.
As advice, I would say that remember at the end of the day, it’s just a process, a phase everyone goes through. You might find the interview process very chaotic, with many interviews clashing and you have to make a decision every minute — this may go your way, or may not. If it doesn’t, it hurts, but wherever you land up, this experience will help you grow in life. Placements are just the first step into your next phase of life. The whole career is awaiting next. You are always worth a lot more than what you get.To handle stressful situations, I would recommend engaging in stress-relieving activities and taking time to relax. Additionally, try to prioritize proper sleep before interviews (although difficult).
Projects and Internship experiences make a good discussion during interviews. Make sure you present your project and internship work in a lucid and interesting way that anyone can understand. This will make interviewers engage in a conversation to understand your work. Also, don’t exaggerate or lie in your resume. It creates a very bad impression, and a candidate is almost every time rejected if he/she couldn’t do well during the CV discussion round.

Hello everyone, I am Abhishant Kumar. I will be graduating this year with a B.Tech. in Industrial Engineering from the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. I will be working as an Applications Engineer at Rakuten Group.
2) How did you get into Rakuten Group? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure was overall general, resume application, a coding test and two online interview rounds
Some tips to prepare for Rakuten Group well would be:
The difficulty I faced during that time was sometimes the tests used to get hectic. The selection process was very smooth and convenient thanks to the CDC team. However, I would suggest being patient throughout the process.
Managing time for preparation alongside academics and extracurriculars can be difficult. In my case, I was handling academics and CDC preparation together. So it was like classes in the day and CDC tests in the evening. While choosing subjects for the semester I would suggest choosing subjects such that the afternoon slot is free, which can give you plenty of time for preparation and practice.
An ideal candidate for this application is someone who is interested in the field of software development and engineering, loves to code and develop applications, and is curious to implement their knowledge and learn a lot in the domain.
The CV should represent the development experience of the candidate very clearly, along with that I would suggest mentioning all the relevant skills and coding experiences like ranks on various platforms (if they are considerably good).

My name is Nishita Tripathy, I’ve completed my B.Tech in Manufacturing Science and Engineering. I’m a native of Odisha but was born and brought up in Andhra Pradesh — Vizag. I’ve interned at Bajaj in the manufacturing segment. I love traveling and enjoy the most with my closest peeps!
I’ve been placed at Schlumberger (SLB) which is an oil and gas industry and the role offered is that of a Field Engineer Trainee. This role demands us to provide technical support on the field and is an opportunity to interact with our clients directly in early years of our professional career. For this, we initially go through a training process that involves technical training, field operations, safety compliance, on-site problem solving, and many more.
2) How did you get into Schlumberger? What was the selection procedure?
I believe involvement showing leadership, communication and a learning mindset — is something that would be helpful in the interview. Make sure your CV reflects the above.Talking about the selection, it whole process was divided into 4 parts:-Round 1: CV shortlist — I believe most of the candidates who had applied did get the shortlist.Round 2: Group Discussion — We were sent in groups of 10 people and given an abstract topic (ours was — diversity).Things to keep in mind: General rules of GD and definitely confidence.Round 3: Group Activity — We were divided into 2 groups & made to challenge each other on the activity given by the recruiter (ours was — to build a structure to hold a phone with the use of A4 size paper & cellotape). Here three speakers from both teams were made to question the otherteam, asking questions related to the ideation & task distribution.Speaker 1: Explains the ideation behind the structure formed as well as talks about the task.distribution of their own team.Speaker 2: Questions the other teamSpeaker 3: Questions the other teamAnswers can be given by any member of the team irrespective of whether he/she is a speaker/not.Things to keep in mind: Participation while making the structure as well as answeringRound 4: Personal Interview — CV Grilling and HR questions (Main question — Why Schlumberger?)Things to keep in mind: Be thorough with every word of your CV. They are very interested in the PORs you hold and the competitions you take part in.
There is no guided book to prepare for the interview — confidence and presence of mind could do wonders for one! Make sure to answer the questions of the interviewer relating to your real life experience making it feel more realistic.
Since SLB recruiters had come to the campus officially, it was initially intimidating to see 7 panelists sitting right in front of you but then they definitely made me feel comfortable and that’s what recruiters do. It’s always easier to have a conversation with your recruiter sittingright in front of you instead of online video interviews.
Since, I haven’t joined yet, but as much as I have conversed with the present employees of the company, I have heard the work culture is good but challenging. The 12-hour work shift is a definite task but since the work is dynamic, there is no fixed number of hours of work as such.Cherishing every moment in the company could be the only way to balance life with work.
Considering placements in December, one needs to get their priorities straight in October. Since I was involved in many places, I had to cut down my interactions to sit and focus on my placements. Fortunately, I had supporting friends/colleagues which made it easier for me toprepare and manage my ECA.
Anyone having a strong communication and technology lover should definitely apply for this role. Physical fitness is an advantage since the work could be tiring physically. Adapting ability is crucial.
It’s very important for one to understand that keeping calm and staying confident is essential. Recruiters are never in search of experts. They need a disciplined candidate who is a good listener, a steady learner and a good communicator. Make sure you depict the above through yourresume and interview.
Make sure your CV has sections of POR, Internship showing legit credibility, and Competition/Conferences. Do make a good story to explain your CV which is realistic.

The role offered was that of Member of Technical Staff: Software Profile. The role is that of a software developer. I am expected to code in C/C++, work with the team assigned to me, and add/update features of existing products. I am supposed to work on the backend side of products and work on existing or new features.
2) How did you get into Siemens EDA? What was the selection procedure?
Test:The selection procedure consisted of an online test that included four separate sections.● The first section had questions on aptitude and logical reasoning. The time allotted for the section was 30 minutes.
● The second section had questions on core CS concepts and fundamentals and some debugging and output-based questions in C++. The CS concepts covered in this section were mainly from Operating Systems and OOPS. The time allotted for this section was also 40 minutes.
● The third section included questions on core electronics. This section was mainly for people who wanted to opt for the digital profile, as Siemens had also offered the role of Member of Technical Staff: Digital Profile. This section was optional, and people who had opted for/were interested in the software profile (like me) could skip this section.
● The last section was the coding section, which included two questions to be solved in 20 minutes. The questions were of easy-medium difficulty. The first was an easy question, and the second was a medium-level question based on tree traversal. The questions were based on data structures and were slightly altered variations of standard DSA questions. The time constraint of 20 minutes was the main factor in making the test challenging. I was able to solve one question completely and theother partially, with 11/14 test cases passing. All sections had individual time limits, and the overall time limit of the test was around 2 hours.
Interview:After being shortlisted for the interview, I had to go through three interviews. The first two were technical interviews, and the last was an HR interview.● The first technical interview was a coding interview. I was asked to introduce myself, and the interviewer proceeded with the questions. I was asked two coding questions of medium-hard difficulty. The interviewer expected me to start with the brute force approach and optimize my solution as I went forward, leading to the most optimizedapproach. I had to code on pen and paper and explain the approach and the time complexity of my solution at each step. For the second question, after having explained the most optimized solution according to time complexity, the interviewer asked me to reduce the space complexity, while optimizing the time complexity. I was somewhat able to do the needful, but the interviewer was not completely satisfied with my answer. We moved on with the interview as there was limited time. (P.S. Don’t forget to switch off your phones/turn them to silent mode, as my phone unexpectedly rang during this round. The interviewer was very professional about the situation and we proceeded with the interview.) Next, he discussed data structures with me, particularly trees and graphs. He asked me about depth-first search and breadth-first search, their comparison, various cases where which one was to be used, and their limitations. We then switched to tree traversal methods and discussed AVL trees and self-balancing trees. I was asked to explain the balancing algorithm ofself-balancing trees and its time complexity. I answered all the questions, and the interviewer was satisfied with my answers. I was asked to wait for the next round. This round went on for about 45–50 minutes.
● The next round was a technical round, which involved puzzles and discussion on my resume, my past internship experiences, my projects, and my involvement in various societies and research groups (I was the EV Head of TeamKART at the time). There was an in-depth discussion on my previous work experiences, the tech stack I had used, the problem statements I had worked on, and so on. Most of my work experience and projects were on machine learning so it was not exactly ideal for thejob description, yet we had an in-depth discussion on the topics of ml and nlp. There was a discussion on OOPs and OS. The interviewer emphasized on OOPs and asked a few medium-hard-level questions that I was able to answer. There was a discussion on my work in TeamKART. As Siemens is an electronics-based company and I was the EV head at TeamKART, there was a good discussion on my work in TeamKART. Next, the interviewer asked me a couple of easy-medium level puzzles and asked me to provide as many approaches I could think of to solve the puzzles optimally. I was able to answer to the interviewer’s satisfaction and that marked theend of the second round. This round went on for about 45 minutes.
● The last and final interview was the HR interview. It was pretty much a standard HR interview with all the generic questions asked in an HR interview. It was a pretty straightforward interview that lasted about 30 minutes. The most important factor in any HR interview is being confident about yourself and that’s about all it takes to perform well in these rounds.This was the entire selection procedure that I had to go through for my selection in Siemens EDA.
The primary preparation for the software profile involves a lot of coding and DSA practice. Practice competitive coding, data structures, and algorithms as much as you can. Solve as many questions as possible, on all DSA topics like binary search, recursion, dynamic programming, trees, graphs, and so on. I had practiced questions on gfg and mainly followed leetcode as leetcode has the most number of interview-specific questions. I had also participated in multiple contests on codechef and codeforce and built a fairly good profile on both in order to improve my competitive programming skills. About a month before the start of the placement season, I solved all the questions available on interviewbit in order to brush up on my DSA. In order to be proficient in the coding aspect of the preparation, one has to solve around 1000–1200 questions with around 100–200 easy, 600–700 medium, and 100–200 hard level questions. This would be enough to perform fairly well in the coding tests and interviews. Gfg is the best source to learn the theoretical concepts of data structures and CS fundamentals. There are many courses available online on CS fundamentals. I relied on a course from GFG to prepare on topics like OS, OOPS, and DBMS. I was not from a CSE background but I was pursuing a minor in CSE and had courses on some CS fundamentals so that helped my case. For people from CSE, it’s not very difficult to prepare on core CS concepts but for people in other departments, online courses can be very helpful. For the puzzles and aptitude part, there are various sites such as Indiabizz and Brainstellar where I practiced questions on a daily basis. That’s all one needs, consistent practice is enough to perform well in the puzzles and aptitude part of tests and interviews.The major problem I faced during my preparation was being consistent. The entire routine of working on coding problems becomes quite repetitive and monotonous and it takes a significant amount of consistent effort before one notices a good amount of improvement in their coding skills. So staying consistent with my preparation, especially in the early stages, was quite challenging for me. Other than that, the entire phase where every day there were multiple tests scheduled after an entire day of classes was extremely exhausting, both mentally and physically. It took quite a lot of effort to get used to the entire routine of giving multiple tests usually up to and sometimes past midnight. It was quite challenging because we also had to perform well in the tests so there was a lot of pressure to be handled.
The work culture and the work-life balance in the company is very good. The work culture is such that I can easily approach any of my superiors for help regarding any matter and people here are always ready to help you out. There are various activities organized by the company so the employees can relax and enjoy themselves, there are team outings and activities to promote better coordination among teams. This is a very good collaborative work environment. The work culture is also really good. The work timings are flexible with a hybrid work system where you can easily work from home three days a week and you only need to come to the office once or twice a week for team meetings and updates. There is not a lot of pressure involved during the daily work and it’s a really good work environment. The work-life balance here is really good because of the flexible timings and the flexible work environment. There is no compulsion to be in the office while one works. The only compulsion is timely completion of the work assigned and that is easily manageable if one is consistent with their work.
The best one can do to manage academics during the placement season is to plan ahead. I had inquired beforehand and asked seniors about the relatively easy electives that would not put a lot of strain on me academically during this time. I opted for electives that were relatively easy to pass and gave them no more attention than was absolutely necessary. That way I was able to reduce my academic load at the time and it was easy to manage things from there on. Regarding extracurriculars, you will not be expected or forced to be involved in any against your will. The placement season is a very crucial and exhausting time and no one expects a person sitting for their placements to be involved in any extracurricular activities so there will be no pressure to manage extracurriculars as such. If one wants to manage extracurriculars out of their own interest then they are free to do so if they are able to manage the time and effort.
Anyone who is opting for a job as a software developer or anyone opting for the software profile is well suited for this job, or rather this job is well suited for them. People targeting software roles and preparing for software profiles are eligible and well-suited for this job.
People who like to work on backend systems based on C/C++ will be better suited for this job so they can target this role specifically.
Being consistent is the best advice I can give in this matter, be it during one’s preparation or during the actual placement itself. Be consistent and don’t give up. There will be days when you won’t feel like studying, days when you’ll mess up tests, days when interviews won’t go as expected, or when you’ll not get any shortlists, even in companies where you thought you’d be shortlisted for sure. There will be days when you’ll question everything, just don’t give up and stay consistent with your effort. Work on yourself just as you have been for the past few months and don’t lose hope. Take breaks, go out with friends at times, don’t confine yourself, talk to your friends, and keep your cool. The entire placement process is very tedious and exhausting, and luck is a bigger factor than you may think. Hence, just be consistent and keep working, through all the hardships and disappointments, keep working, talk to people around you and stay consistent.
Mentioning your proficiency in coding, ratings from competitive programming platforms, and ranks/achievements in coding competitions is a definite highlight. Other than that any courses that one has done in core CSE subjects and a decent CGPA are very helpful. Other than that one should be well prepared on every technical aspect of whatever internship or project they have mentioned in their resume. These are the major points one should mention and be aware of in their CV.

Hi, I’m Parth Mane, a Product Engineer at Sprinklr.
Sprinklr is (one of) the largest unified CXM (customer experience management) companies in the world, and the only one to address all four parts of the process — insights, service, marketing, and social. As a product engineer, my role at Sprinklr is related to working on the front end for all of Sprinklr’s web products.
2) How did you get into Sprinklr? What was the selection procedure?
Sprinklr’s hiring process was the same as most companies — we had an online testing phase where we were asked to solve some mid-level programming questions, and then a series of interviews during the placement stretch. We had about 3–4 technical interviews with questions on topics — designing systems, time complexities, solving basic puzzles like array cycling and palindromes, and finding the kth smallest number in a BST. As my language of choice, I was also asked quite a bit about the functioning of Node — the tick system, how it maintains speed despite being single-threaded. I was also asked to debug some code that they provided and try to infer what it did and how to fix it.
Sprinklr took an approach to the placement process that I rather appreciate — rather than focusing on the incredibly specific DSA questions that a lot of applicants prepare for, they asked for applicable skills and their demonstration. The practical questions I was asked to solve were along system design and code analysis, two quintessential skills in the role of a software developer. To prepare for these, I’d recommend trying actual projects of your own (basic chat applications, small offline systems, advanced websites, or chatbots) and checking out open source, instead of grinding on platforms like leetcode.
And don’t take it to heart if you get stuck during interviews — I couldn’t solve the question where I was asked to understand what a snippet of code did, but I still got in. Just focus on doing what you can do best.
Sprinklr has a rather unusual policy when it comes to hiring — they have no lateral hiring, which means the vast majority of their new employees are freshers from college. Because of this, they offer a lot of opportunities at work — the CEO’s policy is to make sure everyone at Sprinklr always learns as much as they want to. It provides new joinees with an impressive amount of training and resources, and has also let us know that if we want to pursue courses on our own, we can contact our managers and they’ll handle it. Additionally, we also have an hour set out at work every day where we’re supposed to pursue whatever learning we want to.
Here, the culture is very open and flexible. Employees don’t have fixed hours — some people come at noon and leave at night, while others come early in the morning and leave in the afternoon. As long as your manager is fine with it, the company is, too. We also have a complimentary cafeteria that serves breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks, and dinner, alongside a stocked fridge of cold drinks with a coffee machine and snacks, so even at work there’s all the facilities you’d need. The expectation on the flipside, is that since Sprinklr cares for you, you should care for Sprinklr. Work expectations are extended by quite a bit during crunches and deadlines, and HR specifically mentioned that work will be hectic during those times.
The placement process, as it is for all companies, is not easy — no one gets in without putting in the effort. That being said, it’s important to unwind and keep yourself fresh, so even during the CDC period, make sure you set aside some time for extracurriculars that you enjoy. I’d advise avoiding the larger impositions on your time — most societies and sports teams will understandably let you off during the placement season — and instead focusing on shorter but more relaxing activities (a lot of people encourage a bit of gaming or reading, or even just going for a run). Academics, sadly, are still going to be a part of your time management, so I’d recommend sticking to a stiff schedule and making sure you get all your mandated activities completed before settling down. I ended up skipping the main part of basketball practice — only coming for the runs — and hall WtGW practice, and took leaves from my online responsibilities.
Sprinklr expects its employees to put in effort at work, and offers benefits to employees to keep them motivated — the insurance compensations and career growth benefits are impressive — so if you’re not a motivated worker, Sprinklr probably isn’t for you. Otherwise, if you’re comfortable working hard in a comfortable environment, you’d probably love it here.
As general advice for the placement season, remember that placements are serious but not the end of the world. Prepare as much as you can for it, but if you’re starting to feel your mental health decline, stop immediately. Nothing in the world should be more important to you than your own mental well-being (possible exceptions made for if you’re married with kids), and remember that it’s fine even if you haven’t practiced to perfection. If you feel stressed, talk with your friends (ideally ones who don’t have placements themselves) and find something that you enjoy doing. Don’t look at placements as a competition — comparing yourself needlessly to others will just make it harder for you to do your best. Stay calm, try to look confident, and admit it if you’re stuck or need help. Even in the interview, admitting that you don’t know something is often more of a plus point than guessing and getting it wrong.
Oh, and if you’re from a non-post-relevant branch like me (I’m from Manufacturing!) expect to answer ‘why are you applying for XXX role if you’re a different kind of engineer’ on every single interview, so make sure to have a good answer ready.
Good luck for the placements, and stay well!
Note: The opinions stated above are mine and mine alone, and do not represent an official statement from Sprinklr.

Hi! I am Rajdeep Das. I am a recent graduate and was a dual degree student in the CSE department. I am currently working as a Product Engineer at Sprinklr. Sprinklr is Saas company, and it has a CXM Platform that brands use to manage their customers’ experience. My team manages the backend.
Sprinklr had an online assessment round; 3 coding questions were asked, and those who could solve 2 questions were shortlisted. 36 People were shortlisted for the interviews.
Sprinklr conducted five interview rounds, including three Technical rounds, one Bar-raiser round, and one HR interview.
In the first round, the interviewer asked me approximately 5–6 medium difficulty questions, mostly standard ones, taken from Leetcode. He then asked me a couple of OOPS-related questions after that.
In the second round, 2 coding questions were asked, which were also medium-difficulty questions taken from codeforces. I solved them before time. So, the interviewer asked me a bonus probability question, which I could not solve correctly. However, since it was an additional question, it did not impact the interview outcome.
In the third round, the interviewer asked about my Deep Learning-based MTP project and some basic CNN questions. Then he asked me a coding problem similar to the “Median of two sorted arrays” followed by a more generalized version of it.
In all three rounds, the interviewers asked me about my internship project. Each of the technical rounds lasted for approximately 45 to 50 minutes.
The fourth round was a bar-raiser round, and it was a mixed round, taken by a VP of product engineering. He asked me a few HR questions. Then he asked me a fairly easy question from SQL; although I couldn’t write the complete syntax, I told him the logic. It lasted around 15 minutes.
Lastly, there was a 30-minute-long HR round. I was asked questions such as “Why Sprinklr?”, “What do you know about Sprinklr?”, “How do you handle stress?”, and “Could you share a situation where you had a different perspective from your mentor or manager?”.
My interviews began in the morning around 7 and continued until 3 P.M.
You need to be good at Programming. Although, you don’t need to do hardcore CP. I mostly practiced from Leetcode and binarysearch.com.
Also, you need to prepare OOPS, OS, DBMS, etc. They didn’t ask me any questions from OS, but my friend was asked the same. Lastly, prepare a few System Design questions to be on the safer side.
Search in Glassdoor/AmbitionBox to get reviews :P. Work-life balance depends on your team and the product your team is working on. Fortunately, in our team, weekends typically remain work-free :P. Right now, Sprinklr doesn’t have many amenities, but a new office will open up soon, so hopefully, it will have something fun. Food is available from breakfast to dinner.
You need to give more time to CDC prep than Acads if your main aim is to get a good Job. I suggest choosing subjects wherein you have to put less effort. And take help from friends with PPO, for projects, assignments, etc. Don’t pull yourself back from giving extra effort this semester because the semester after getting placed will be chill.
Sprinklr is known for growth. The role is suitable for those who would like to put more effort into the early stage of their career. The tech stack in Sprinklr is the latest. Java, Kubernetes, Mongo, ElasticSearch, and Kafka are mostly used for the backend. Frontend PEs use React. There are ML and Mobile Roles as well.
Divide & Conquer! Keeping small goals for every day helps. Never compare yourself with others; instead, focus on improving your skills!
Take deep breaths to stay calm & opt for a seat in the corner rather than the middle to minimize distractions while giving online assessment in Nalanda!
Remember that it’s not possible to excel in every test. Instead of dwelling on the test that didn’t go well, prioritize your efforts on preparing for the upcoming one.
Sprinklr doesn’t do CV shortlisting, as far as I know. It’s based on the online assessment. I highly doubt the interviewer read the complete CV. Keeping short & descriptive headings helps the interviewer to get a gist of your CV. Bold the keywords you want to highlight, but don’t overdo it.
All the best for the upcoming Placement Season!

The role of a Product Analyst perfectly aligns with my passion for leveraging data-driven insights to drive informed decision-making and deliver exceptional user experiences. I am excited to dive into the vast world of Sprinklr’s products, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and uncover valuable insights that will drive the growth and success of our customers.
As I believe, we are the creators of our own destinies, and I encourage everyone to believe in themselves, push forward, and unleash their greatness upon the world.
Thanks to CDC, IIT Kharagpur. Sprinklr came for Campus Placements for the role of APM and PA. A test for one hour was conducted to check the quantitative ability of the students and for the shortlisting procedure for the interviews. We had four rounds of interviews, where three rounds were technical, and the final was an HR round followed by the final selection. In my first round, 3 guesstimates and questions related to my CV were questioned while enquiring about my interest in the organization and aligning the vision. Likewise in my second round, 2 product cases (RCA and Design), cv defenders, and commonly asked in product interview questions like favorite product and how can we enhance the product with fallbacks were asked. The third round was a stress test round where I was given a case to perform in real-time, it was a temperament check while solving the case, and cv defenders as to why I am best suited for this position were focused on. My third round went for almost 1 hour 20 mins where I was thoroughly grilled on my cv and was asked to defend my willingness and fit in the organization by explaining my AI projects and extra-curriculars. The final round was an HR round, where commonly asked questions were repeated like challenges, weakness, strengths, why product, why not consulting? Then, there was a final call for the selection of the candidate.
I got shortlists in consulting, product, core and data roles. I prepared for these roles. I highly suggest that irrespective of the role, one should undergo a consult preparation for a week at least, for it leverages the way you can present or express your thoughts, for communication and confidence are game changers in CDC. I practiced GFG puzzles, heard on the street, and 50 Challenging problems, along with CAT quantitative papers for the shortlisting tests. For my interviews, I had thorough mirror-to-mirror practice sessions for my HR rounds and I gave several mock interviews for my HR rounds even to my seniors, because my target roles were consult and product so my expressions and the way I presented myself mattered more. For guesstimates, I solved the top 15 product guesstimates, and Bury the hatchet book. For my consulting preparation, I had case mocks with my peers where I solved cases from Case Interviews Cracked and IIM Ahmedabad’s Casebook for the year 2020. For product preparation, The best starter is the PM Explainer series on YouTube by The PM School. Then, I used a friend’s access to a course of Doraemon Den where they teach you the basics of Product, covering all 5 kinds of cases, like Guesstimates, Root Cause Analysis, Product Design questions, Favorite product and how would you improve it, Go-to-market strategy, pricing questions.
Once, I went through the preliminary understanding of what all of these were like, I read the Decode and Conquer Book and a few important chapters of Cracking the PM Interview. I went through case videos of PM Exponent and The PM school videos on YouTube to see how cases were put forward in an interview.
In the meantime, I practiced cases with my group. A case group is really important we should always practice cases in groups. We should never read cases, reading cases can be the biggest crime you make, for you end up losing a case of your preparation. Moreover, you’re bound to forget the learnings of a case, Every case comes up with a learning that will add on to your case journey, and never in an interview, a case is repeated.
You’ll always meet a new case in a new interview. So, you should be mentally prepared to expect something new even in a case interview. Even if you get stuck, just keep going and take a pause, get help from the interviewer if you’re stuck anywhere, and together you may end up solving the case. Effective Communication is the key player because u need to ask correct questions to get all the preliminary information needed to solve the case. Questions should never be too exhaustive, but crisp and just the ones needed for the case. Vague questions put the interviewer off.

Hey there, juniors! As you embark on your final phase of college journey at IIT KGP and dive into the world of career placements, let me share my experience with you. I’m Akash Mudhol, a recent graduate from the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, with an Int MSc in Economics and micro specialization in AI and its Applications. I’m excited to tell you about my journey as a Risk Analyst at Standard Chartered Bank, where I’ve been working for the past 3.5 months. In this blog, I’ll walk you through the selection process, the preparation journey, and life at the bank. Also, some insights from my preparation and experience can be a bit helpful.
So, let’s start with the role itself. As a Risk Analyst at Standard Chartered Bank, my daily work revolves around developing statistical and machine learning models. These models help us predict probabilities of defaults and expected losses of credit by the bank, and they play a crucial role in the bank’s decision-making processes.
2) How did you get into Standard Chartered Bank? What was the selection procedure and how to prepare for them?
Now, let’s dive into how I got here and what the selection process was like. We can divide the placement selection process into 2 stages, 1st Pre Interview, and 2nd Interviews.
Pre-Interviews:-
This involves two tests. The first one is the Pymetric test, and the other is the Coding Round. The Pymetric test is merely qualifying, featuring some simple to moderately challenging games. Enjoy it; there’s no need to stress too much about it. The second test is the Coding Round, where you can expect 2 to 3 questions of moderate difficulty. These questions may cover topics like strings, arrays, bit manipulation, and definitely one on dynamic programming. To gain an advantage, try to complete this round as early as possible. Since the company visits on day 3 of our campus placement schedule, the number of available positions might be limited, and this could result in not extending the shortlist for interviews. I initially expected the second round to include coding and aptitude questions, but don’t let the role name deceive you; I recommend thoroughly reading the role descriptions on ERP. I also prepared for software roles as a backup, so it didn’t bother me much.
Interviews:-
You will face two technical rounds and one HR round. In the first round, expect a discussion about your CV, guesstimates, machine learning, statistics, and possibly one or two follow-up coding questions. My interview began with a discussion about my CV. If you have machine learning (ML) or finance on your CVtarget those for preparation. Knowing finance topics is not required but can make you stand out. Make sure you’re well-versed in the statistical aspects of the machine learning models you’ve worked on. You won’t be extensively questioned about the ML algorithms themselves, but a strong grasp of statistics of model results and processes will be valuable. Towards the end of my interview, I was presented with a guesstimate challenge, estimating the number of tea cups sold in India. The interview concluded with a coding question related to dynamic programming.
Moving on to the second round, it’s a Managerial round with a senior representative from the bank. In this round, anticipate discussions about your CV, situational questions related to your internships, guesstimates, or even a business case.
Finally, the third interview is with the HR department. At this stage, you’re very close to your goal. However, HR can occasionally throw some unexpected questions your way. Stay composed, and express your eagerness to join and commit to the company.
3) How would you describe the work culture in your company? How is the work-life balance?
To talk more about the bank and work culture, the work-life balance here is quite good. We follow a hybrid working style, spending about 2–3 days in the office. Everyone is incredibly helpful and skilled in their roles. Working here, you’ll have the opportunity to learn a lot about banking and regulatory model development.
4) According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
Anyone who is interested in the finance or data science domain should definitely apply. Also if you have vested interests in statistics courses this is a really ideal position for you to be in.
Managing academics, extracurricular activities, and preparing for placements can be a bit stressful. You can anticipate having time for preparation until mid-October, as afterward, regular tests will begin and you will have end sems and presentations. If you are pursuing a dual degree or an integrated MSc, you will likely have your Master’s Project (MTP) in progress, as was the case for me. I recommend considering lighter subjects if elective options are available, discussing the course workload with senior students, and then decide the subjects you want to choose. Additionally, engage in a conversation with your MTP supervisor about your current situation and decide whether you can postpone some MTP work in December month, after the placement season, or later in the spring semester. Ensure you keep your supervisor informed. It’s worth noting that some MTP professors in certain departments can be quite persistent, so seek insights from your senior peers and be prepared accordingly. Lastly, don’t forget to take some time to relax on Sundays or play a game once or twice a week in your hall. In my case, Patel Hall had a vibrant football culture, and I often joined the team when I needed to de-stress.
Friends play a major role in your college life, and during placement season is where you will realize a lot. From your busy schedules keep on having discussions with your friends who have already got PPOs or friends who have good domain knowledge. It would be great to discuss the progress of your preparation. Also, try to have a lot of fun. Try to get away some time from placement preparation and spend some time on outings and relaxing with friends. Just keep track of things to avoid stress. Also during interviews keep some friends informed about your schedule etc.. to avoid last-minute rushes.
Securing a position at Standard Chartered Bank is an exciting journey that takes preparation, dedication, luck, and a strong support system. Your college life isn’t just about placements; it’s a time to build lasting relationships and make the most of your experience. Best of luck on your path to success! I would love to share more curated insights if anyone is interested or is preparing for the interviews phase of this process, please get in touch with me on LinkedIn.

Greetings, everyone. My name is Manish Chouhan, a proud graduate of the IIT KGP’23 batch with a B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering. Currently, I am working as a Consultant at TCG Digital, specializing in the Data Science Competency Team. My responsibilities primarily revolve around applying Machine Learning and Deep Learning models to resolve client issues and optimize solutions.
2) How did you get into TCG Digital? What was the selection procedure?
The test was conducted on Day 3, while on Days 1 and 2, I had already given two interviews, but I wasn’t selected for them. I didn’t have any interviews scheduled for Day 3. This test was conducted at night, around 10:30 PM, so during the day, when I was doing my test preparation and interview preparation, at 4:30 PM, one of my placement buddies came after giving an interview at AXIS Bank. I felt very happy for him, along with a feeling of “iska merese pahle ho gya,” but I continued my preparation and went for the test.
There was a very strange thing that happened during the test. In other tests of the CDC, the inspecting members were students of KGP, and sometimes CDC staff also came in for checking. But during this test, a team from TCG Digital came for inspection. In a room of 50–70 students, there were 10–12 employees of TCG Digital.
The test consists of
Next was the interview round
- It was a physical interview. So starting gestures for coming into the interview room, having a hard copy of your CV, a rough piece of paper, and a pen were sometimes given during the interview, but having your own feels confident. My CV was mostly centered on Data Science. All my projects and internships are in this domain only, so my interview went ahead with that flow.
- It started with the basic intro. ( 1–2 minutes)
- CV grinding, my internship experience, and explaining self-projects ( 15–20 minutes)
- I had worked on the AWS cloud, so I was asked to explain cloud services to a 5th-grade boy. ( 5 minutes)
- I had worked on a cronjob, which automatically runs the code on the cloud and sends the final output to Gmail, so I was asked to write the syntax for running code every Tuesday at 10:00 AM and sending the report. ( 2 minutes )
- Finally, the interviewer told me that he was also a graduate of IIT KGP. We had a 5-minute talk about KGP, and the final words were, “Thank you, Manish. I hope to see you in our team”.
- In between the interviews, some HR questions were asked.
I was very sure that at that moment only I would be selected, but I had heard the same words in my earlier interviews as well, so I didn’t get excited before getting a call from the CDC team. After giving this interview in the morning around 11 AM, I went for the GD session of Pine Labs, then the coding round interview of JIO, then the final HR round of JIO, and just before giving the HR round of JIO, I got a message from a friend that I got selected in TCG Digital, but I wasn’t sure, so I completed my HR round of JIO and got selected in JIO also. I directly called PlaceCom to confirm my selection in TCG Digital, and he told me I was selected in both TCG Digital and JIO. Finally, I was given the option to select from these two companies. I was having a moment seeing two green lines in the CDC portal.
- The first task is to clear the test. If your test is on Day 3, you can’t prepare much, and if you prepare too much, you won’t remember much, so it would totally depend on your past knowledge.
- I don’t think I have prepared for how to write a summary, but we have to do it if asked in the test.
- Be confident during interviews, and confidence comes after rigorous preparation.
- Giving mock interviews among your Placement buddies helped me a lot. I found my mistakes, and I learned how to speak if you don’t know the real answer by saying, ‘I have heard about it, but currently I am unable to recall it’.
I joined the company on August 1, 2023, along with 12 more KGPians from the 2023 batch. The onboarding process was very smooth; we got a chance to meet our CEO, CTO, and other pillars of TCG Digital. They explained how TCG Digital and its sister companies are working. We had a consulting training of 6 days, then according to our interest and capabilities, and based on interaction with senior managers and consulting training, we were allocated our managers; some of us need to go to the office regularly, and some are working with a hybrid model. Here, the work-life balance is very healthy, and in between there are meet-with-buddy sessions. Last year, all the employees of TCG Digital were invited to a party at Nicco Park, Kolkata.
The preparation of CDC is being started from the 1st semester itself. It may be possible that we don’t know that we are preparing for CDC by handling the Test, Quiz, Mid-semester, End-semester, Projects, Viva, Practical Lab, Hall events, Illumination, and society work. Handling all of this every semester improves our time management ability. We just need a friend circle where everybody is preparing for the CDC. For me, we had a placement buddy group of 4 friends; our mentors were PPO friends, and if anybody got stuck in any type of problem, whether it was academic, CDC, or extracurricular, we always helped him.
13 students were selected for TCG Digital from KGP; they are from different fields, viz. Front-End, Back-End, Data Science. The branch is also different for most of us. This company is providing solutions to other companies, viz., oil and gas companies, airlines, cloud services, Lab Analytics, and many more, as well as working on his own product, named mCube. So anyone who wants to work in these fields can apply for this job.
The most stressful situation for me is when your interview went very well but you didn’t get selected. Another one is not getting shortlisted for the interview, although your friends get shortlisted.
- I just want to give one piece of advice, if you have a friend circle that motivates you and tells you to study, stick to those friends; your stress will get distributed among you all. Just one more thing, get a look at last year's CDC placement data; talk to your family and your mentors; their voice can clear any type of stressful situation; and never forget their role in your stressful situation.
- Before the start of the test, there was a gap of 5–10 minutes in Nalanda. I used to play old games on the laptop so that the silence didn’t increase the stress.
- This company mostly selects students who are able to explain their own experiences.
- Having the technical skills in your CV is very important, but your achievements, internships, and project experiences should be able to prove your skills.
I hope my journey and insights prove beneficial to aspiring candidates. If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, please feel free to ask.

My name is Rajdeep Ghosh and I am a postgraduate (M. Tech 2021–2023) in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering. I was selected for the Data Analyst role in Tiger Analytics which required me to have knowledge about SQL, Data science and machine learning.
2) How did you get into Tiger Analytics? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure for Tiger Analytics was a two-stage process. Initially, there was an online assessment at Nalanda which was around 1–1.5 hours. There were some MCQs (around 20) associated with writing outputs, SQL and machine learning followed by three coding questions (C++/Python) which ranged from very easy to easy.
Around 30 students were shortlisted from the 1200+ who gave the exam. There was a 45-minute interview taken by a senior data scientist from the company who asked two coding questions that were to be solved (C++/Java/Python). The questions were of easy to medium difficulty.
Practicing standard questions on LeetCode and Codeforces should be sufficient. My preparation was not of the highest levels as I only solved 250 questions in total. I barely used Codeforces so simple coding practice was good enough to clear the assessment.
The biggest difficulty was back-to-back exams on certain days. I managed to tackle them by taking rest in between exams, drinking lots of water, and taking my meals on time. I also took naps whenever I could so I was well-rested before subsequent exams.
During this year, I was primarily working on my Master’s thesis so I was in the lab throughout the day and late in the evening. Whenever I needed a break from my thesis work, I switched gears and solved a few problems on LeetCode. Thankfully my project was on machine learning and hence, I was technically working on some or the other requirement for my CDC preparation all the time.
Any student who is interested in the data profile should apply for this role. Students from non-circuital branches should especially consider this profile since domain knowledge alongside data science and machine learning is gaining a lot of traction in the industry.
Managing time properly would be my advice. Many companies have their own biases and as such it is fruitful to talk to seniors to identify which companies would not be interested in you even if you had a perfect exam. It is simply a waste of time to appear for very large corporations or profiles which do not fall under your expertise as the chances of selection are nearly 0 and the only result of applying to every profile will be severe exhaustion and burnout. This will prevent students from giving their best on those exams which they have worked hard for. Although it seems counterintuitive, applying for all eligible profiles will not improve the chances of selection rather it will deteriorate them.
This profile had a lot of competition from the non-circuital branches of undergraduates and postgraduates since it pays a little lesser than the average SDE/ML profiles despite being a day 3 company. As such, it is best to showcase the combination of strong domain knowledge (great CGPA, preferably 9+) and relevant experience in the data science field (internships and projects which explore novelty in your domain compared to standard projects done by everyone else).

I have been extended the position of Software — RC Solution Engineer at TSMC. In this role, I will be working on a software application related to electronics or circuit simulation. While the primary focus is on software development, some understanding of hardware concepts will be beneficial.
2) How did you get into TSMC? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process comprised a coding round and a technical interview. The coding test consisted of three challenging questions. On day 1, I had a 30-minute interview, while many of my friends had two rounds. The interview questions were relatively straightforward, and I didn’t have to write code; they only asked for explanations.
The preparation was focused on a standard SDE role, with practice from platforms like LeetCode and InterviewBit. During my interview at TSMC, I encountered challenging problems related to DP, STL, and LinkedList. The coding test questions were quite difficult, which posed a challenge. Additionally, one common difficulty was understanding the English accent of Taiwanese interviewers.
As I haven’t joined the company yet, I can’t provide a detailed perspective. However, based on my interactions with HR and others, I have found their behavior to be positive and supportive, especially in terms of relocation assistance to Taiwan. According to feedback from previous year joiners, the office culture is healthy and conducive to a positive work environment, despite the longer work hours.
I had previously prepared for DSA topics ahead of my internship drive and then dedicated around 6 months to revise and cover new topics before my placements. Despite the hectic schedule alongside my semester, I managed to allocate 4–5 hours daily for placement preparation. Before mid-sem and end-sem exams, I would focus on studying for my semester subjects for about a week or so.
If you are interested in pursuing a career in hardware, TSMC is undoubtedly the dream company to work for. However, if you have an adventurous spirit and want to explore new places, joining TSMC will give you the opportunity to experience Taiwan. For those seeking software roles, there are also options available in the company.
Begin your preparation early; it’s advantageous to start as much as a year before the placements begin. Don’t be disheartened by a few exams that may not go as planned; remember, not all tests will be perfect. With numerous companies offering opportunities, you will undoubtedly secure a good job. Just stay patient, stay focused, and give your best effort — that’s all you need to do.
CVs aren’t heavily emphasized, but having some hardware-related experiences can be beneficial.

Hello everyone, I’m Guruvansh Singh Bhatia, a recent pass-out from Instrumentation Engineering. I received a placement offer from Walmart via CDC Placement Drive 2022.
2) How did you get into Walmart? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure included an online screening test followed by three interview rounds– two technical rounds and a basic system design + behavioral round.
Online Test:
It consisted of 3 Coding problems along with 10 MCQs based on OOPs, DBMS, and Aptitude. There was no negative marking for MCQs. One of the coding problems was based on Digit DP. It was a medium-level problem. The other 2 problems were easy and based on greedy and graphs.
Round 1: It started as a rapid-fire round. 10–12 questions were asked based on OS, OOPs, and DBMS. Then I was given a question to write an SQL query. A simple question based on Binary Trees was asked. It took around 45 minutes to complete this round.
Round 2: Within 5 minutes, I was called for the second round. Started with a discussion on my projects. Since one of my projects was based on Operating systems, a lot of questions were asked about Memory management and Cache. Then, a coding problem was given based on graphs. The interviewer asked me to just discuss the logic. It ended with a positive response from her side. It lasted for about an hour.
Round 3: This was the most interesting round. The interviewer started by asking about my hobbies. I mentioned Cricket (Of course XD), and we began discussing IPL. He then asked me to design an app for IPL teams to sell their merchandise to fans. As I was not very familiar with designing systems, I attempted to integrate various ideas based on intuition. Many follow-up questions were asked, such as what should be stored in the database, etc. The interviewer seemed content with my answers. Then he asked around 5–6 behavioral questions. This round lasted for about 1 hour.
Analysing the current trend, companies are moving towards harder screening rounds including topics like Digit DP, Bitmask DP, Tries, etc. in the tests. One should focus more on Competitive Programming. CSES is the best problem set to build and practice concepts. AtCoder is also a good platform, many similar concepts and questions are asked in beginner’s contests. Codeforces contests contain more AdHoc problems nowadays which isn’t ideal for Placement Prep, but doesn’t hamper your prep if you have sufficient time.
InterviewBit and Leetcode are obligatory for interview prep. You can complete the InterviewBit Problem set and practice weekend contest problems on Leetcode.
Core CS concepts are also very important.
One can consider the following resources:
Operating Systems: NPTEL Operating Systems by Sorav Bansal, IIT Delhi
OOPs: LearnCPP
Computer Networks: NPTEL Computer Networks by Sandip Chakraborty
Do revise your Internship and Project work once before appearing for the Interviews.
I planned my placement semester with light courses, but DSP was still there to haunt (iykyk). Studied just before midsems and endsems to pass the subjects. So I would suggest you ,keep placement sem as light as possible.
Anyone having an interest in problem-solving and software development must apply for it. Some of the teams are involved in solving good algorithmic problems related to retail. It is a good company to start your Software Development career with.
Internships and Projects play the most important role in interviews. One should be able to justify each and every tech stack used in the projects.

1) Brief Introduction.
Hi everyone! My name is Raghav Aggarwal. I am a final year undergrad from Electronics and Electrical Communications at IITKgp.
I applied to Adobe via the CDC internship program organized by CDC, IITKgp.
The first round was the coding test which contained pretty cliche questions in DSA with some alterations. I wouldn’t say the test was easy but it wasn’t on the too challenging side as well. The coding round was common to both Research and Product Development roles.
The first interview round was a pretty basic DSA round where they asked standard questions and then one hard difficulty question(grading the questions according to leetcode standards) before proceeding to the final interview stage.
The final interview was taken by a senior developer in the firm whose primary source of questions was my CV. He first went through all the projects and experiences and then selected a project to discuss in depth.
For the Coding round do interviewbit, leetcode and try timely practicing questions of DSA. One thing students get often confused between is Competitive Programming and DSA. They’re not the same and hence if you’re practicing on just Codeforces or Codechef start doing DSA practice as well. CP is good for timed practice and increasing analytical thinking but most of the companies in SDE are going to ask questions based on fundamental applications of DSA.
For the interview prep I’d suggest making notes of your CV where you have pointers to explain each and every project/experience in both brief and detail. This will help you in a lot of interviews. Most of the interviewers I faced just asked me to skim through my projects and then asked detailed questions from a particular area in some project.
Also do remember to learn basics of computer memory organization (stack memory, etc.). It’s not generally asked by any other firms but Adobe interviewers always ask questions from this area. You do not need to prepare thoroughly, a short 1–2 hour research on YouTube before the interview will suffice.
As for the product development intern role, anyone who’s interested in development and DevOps should definitely apply to this firm. The people around here are experts in their fields with a significant amount of experience. The guidance and learnings you will be provided here are unparalleled. Also the projects are based on Adobe’s flagship products, hence you get to work on pretty fascinating and cutting edge tech. The code you’ll be working on is going to be the production level code of the products and you get to learn a lot from the coding style itself used here.
5) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year?
Do talk to a senior in the same company before sitting for the interview. It always helps to know what the company might be expecting in the interview and provides you with an edge.
Do not lie to the interviewer or give “fundaes”. These people are usually experts in their domain and know when someone is trying to fool them.
Do let them know of your thought process while giving an answer in the DSA rounds, they might help you in the direction of the solution or warn you when you wander too far. They are more interested in your thought process than the final answer.
And DON’T GIVE UP! This might be the most important. You might be not shortlisted a lot of times or get rejected from an interview which went perfectly but sometimes things don’t work in the way they should and misfortunes happen. Believe me there are plenty of better companies which come in the later days and it’s going through the process itself which will make you learn a lot.
The interviewer in my panel got fascinated by a simple C++ project (not DSA) because he had experience with similar kind of technology. One-third of my second interview went in just discussing that project which really made a good impression on my interviewer. Although the majority of us have works in Python, Machine Learning, etc. do remember to have a little diversity in the projects/experience section.

I am Divyansh Raghuwanshi, a 3rd-year undergraduate student from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. In the 2022 CDC Internship Drive I received a Research Internship offer from Adobe Research.
How did you get into Adobe? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process for Adobe Research consisted of one online test and one round of interview:
The online test was held on HackerRank and was around one and a half hours long. It was divided into five sections: the first four were MCQ-based and contained a total of 16 MCQs, including four each from Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, Computer Science Fundamentals, and Puzzles, the final section contained two coding questions (which were of an easy to medium difficulty). You needed to solve both coding questions correctly and perform well in MCQs in order to get through.
Interview Round:
There was only one round of interview, which was around 45 minutes long. I was given a puzzle to solve at the beginning, followed by a probability question, and lastly one DSA question related to Multi-Source BFS was asked. You can expect questions from Data Structures and Algorithms, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics. Later on, the interview mainly revolved around my resume, there was a discussion about the projects mentioned in the resume, after this the interview concluded.
For Coding Test Round:
I would suggest to start practising DSA questions as early as possible, for practise you can use LeetCode or GeeeksforGeeks, and you should try to participate in contests regularly and upsolve, as this would really help you to solve questions in a timed environment, in the last one month to get the idea about interview questions you can practise questions on InterviewBit.
Puzzles and probability problems were not very difficult, these can be prepared from GeeksforGeeks. Fifty Challenging Problems in Probability is another resource you can use to get a better understanding of the majority of probability problems. I didn’t prepared much for CS fundamentals like OOPS, OS, DBMS, I just went through some of the blogs for these topics, though I would suggest you to prepare well for OOPS as it is being asked in many companies online test round and interviews as well.
For Interview Round:
During the interview, try to be calm and composed and answer the questions honestly and confidently. Also, prepare a nice introduction beforehand to start well. You should try to find the most frequently asked interview questions before sitting for any company’s interview, this will give you a decent idea of the questions you will be asked and will allow you to prepare for them appropriately. You should be very well prepared about all the points, especially the projects you put in your resume. It’s better to avoid putting the things you are less confident about, as there may be cross-questions about anything they find interesting.
Having good technical projects is always desirable, as it boosts your chances. A good project related to NLP or Computer Vision would enhance your resume considerably for this profile, as most of the projects in Adobe Research are related to these fields. Most of the times, at the end of the interview, the interviewer might ask if you have any questions for him/her. So I would suggest to prepare some questions for the interviewer based on the company, as it would show your interest towards the company and that particular profile.
What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
As I was preparing for both Software and Data profile, so there were too many things to prepare. To overcome this, I asked for advice from some of my friends and seniors which really helped me strategically plan my preparation, and working on it consistently throughout the summers helped me prepare well for the Internship process. I would advise, whenever you are having some difficulty regarding the preparation try to talk to your seniors or your batchmates who are also aiming for the same profile this will really help you overcome that problem.
If you are preparing for Data profile don’t neglect DSA part, as even for Data profile most companies ask a good level of DSA questions in both online test round and interviews. For the interviews it is very important that while thinking about the problem’s solution you think out loud, try to have a good discussion with the interviewer as it would help you to think in the correct direction.
All the best, Everyone!
For this profile the most important part of the CV is the Projects and Internships section. Try to present your projects very well, as having a 1–2 nice projects related to the profile will definitely increase your chances of selection.
As you would be asked many questions related to your projects, prepare well for whatever you write in your CV.

Hello everyone, I am Shaurabh Tiwari. I am a fourth-year student, pursuing a Dual Degree course in the Department of Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Manufacturing Science and Engineering. In the 2022 CDC Internship Drive, I got a Research Internship offer from Adobe Research for a duration of 12 weeks.
The selection procedure started with a written test followed by the Interview. The written test consisted of questions from Probability and Statistics, Basic OOPs, DBMS, some general Aptitude questions, and two Medium Level programming questions (Difficulty Level: 1300 to 1700) related to Data Structures and Algorithms.
There was one Interview round for the students who cleared the written round. In my case, the Interview started with the CV Discussion, In which I explained the projects mentioned in the CV. While discussing the projects the interviewer did ask some questions related to basic ML, DL, and basic mathematics behind them. After that, we had a 15-minute discussion on a research paper, which I had read in the past. The interview ended with some basic HR questions to test your teamwork skills.
You need to have a good grasp of Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and for that, Coursera ML and DL specializations can be a good starter, also blogs at Towards Data Science will be good for those who prefer reading over watching videos. It will be preferred to have at least one good project/internship on your CV for a better understanding of the domain and also it’ll help as a starter for discussion during the interview. If you have time I’ll suggest looking into NLP or Computer Vision domain.
For the written round a good grasp of competitive programming will be required for that try solving problems on any competitive programming platform like Leetcode, Codeforces, Codechef, etc. Also, good knowledge of Probability and Statistics will be required, for this solving Heard on the Street or 50 Challenging Problems will be more than enough. Try to have some basic knowledge of OOPs.
The major issue here is you need to have knowledge of many different domains. To clear the written round a good knowledge of Data Structures Algorithms will be needed along with Probability and Statistics. For interviews, knowledge of Machine Learning and Deep Learning Algorithms will be required. Also, you need to have some good projects in this domain for your CV to stand out among the other candidates. Keeping a hand on all these things at once is very tough but not impossible. The strategy which worked for me is to divide the duration for each task and prepare for one task at a time while keeping a fixed revision schedule for the things which I’ve already learned. In this way, things will not feel like a burden. Try to participate regularly in competitive programming contests on any platform.
For anyone who likes brainstorming to find new and unresearched problems in the world and wants to explore the difference between academic and industrial research fields, this is an ideal opportunity for him. Also If you like working with the newest technologies and have a hunger for exploring the latest inventions and technology advancements, then you should apply for this.
Preparing for internships can be a stressful and competitive process, but it’s important to keep a few things in mind. Firstly, remember that an internship is just a small part of your long and promising career ahead. Even if you don’t secure your desired position, it doesn’t define your capabilities or future success. Secondly, surround yourself with a supportive friend circle who can help you practice and conduct mock interviews. Their feedback and encouragement can be invaluable during this time. Additionally, luck can play a role in the selection process, so don’t be disheartened if things don’t go your way initially. Remember, there’s no single right path to success, and each person’s journey is unique. Be resilient, stay focused, and prioritize your happiness. Don’t let the preparedness or success of others affect your self-confidence. Trust in your abilities, give your best, and success will come your way.
CV is an essential document that highlights your skills, experiences, and accomplishments. Here are some points which I think will help your cv to stand out:

Hello! I am Rishit Singhania, a fourth year undergraduate from the Department of Mathematics, IIT Kharagpur. I am a boarder of JCB Hall of Residence. I will be interning at AlphaGrep Securities in the Summer of 2023 as a Quantitative Trading Intern.
How did you get into Alphagrep Securities? What was the selection procedure?
I got my internship through the CDC Internship process.
The first step was a common coding round for both Quant and Software roles. The questions were pretty good. The test comprised 5 questions to be solved in 90 minutes. Implementation skills matter a lot in these rounds. Even if you get the logic correct, you may end up making silly mistakes in your implementation thus losing vital time debugging your code.I was shortlisted for both Quant and Software profiles. In the interview for the Quant role, I was asked questions on conditional probability, puzzles and linearity of expectation. I was also asked a few algorithmic questions.
I started Competitive Programming after my first year. I would recommend giving contests on Codeforces and Atcoder. You should regularly take part in Atcoder Beginner Contests (ABC), usually held every Saturday. I felt that I got to learn something new after every ABC I took part in. For the interviews, you should complete the problems present in Interviewbit as they are slightly different to the problems you encounter in contests.
For studying Probability and Statistics, I followed the Stats 110 course available on YouTube. If you are targeting Quant role, you can prepare puzzles from the following resources:
I studied Object Oriented Programming from the course slides and GeekforGeeks. If you have mentioned other CS courses in your CV, be prepared to answer questions on those topics in the interviews.
You should also take part in Grimoire of Code CDC Series contests which are organized nearer to the start of coding rounds. These contests contain questions from previous year coding rounds and can thus can be of great help.
One of the major problems that I faced was not being able to decide what to do during the last few days before the interviews. I used to waste a lot of time making changes to my CV.I would highly recommend having a group of at least 2–3 people having the same targets as you. This helps a lot during the preparation phase as it creates a healthy environment where you can learn from each other and even push each other to work harder.
If you are interested in the Quant role, you can apply for this role. HFTs usually prefer to take people from circuital departments.You need to have a decent grasp of Competitive Programming and be good at solving puzzles.For the systems role, you need to be prepared with core CS concepts such as Object Oriented Programming.
During the internship process, there will be times when you are going to doubt yourself. You need to have faith in yourself. Whenever you feel anxious, talk to someone close to you. Taking care of your mental health is really important. Eat healthy food and get plenty of sleep. Also this is the worst time to compare yourself with others. Just focus on yourself. You are going to be fine, believe me.
You should also be aware that you get partial points in most of the coding rounds. So if you are stuck with a problem, you can submit a brute-force to pass a few test cases and get partial points. Do not panic and be calm because if you make mistakes in your implementation, you will lose crucial time debugging your code.
Having a high rating on Codeforces is always a major plus. You can also mention the ranks that you obtained in popular coding contests such as Google Kickstart and Facebook HackerCup.
If you have taken part in ICPC, make sure to mention that too. Do not mention courses or skills just for increasing the content of your CV. If you are not able to answer questions on something mentioned in your CV, it leaves a bad impression on the interviewer.
Try to keep your CGPA above 9.
If you have any doubts, you can always reach out to me on Facebook.

Hi everyone, I am Sidharth Vishwakarma, a third-year Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur. I’ll be interning at AlphaGrep Securities in the summer of 2023 as a Software Developer.
2) How did you get into AlphaGrep? What was the selection procedure?
The role was open only for circuital departments like CS, MA, EC, EE, and IM. The selection procedure consists of an intense coding round followed by an interview or a series of interviews.
The coding round had 5 CP questions to be solved in 90 mins. They were from a varying range of difficulties. The first question was a typical linked list query. The second was an interactive problem based on finding a sink in the graph. Third was a medium ad-hoc question using priority queues and binary search operations like lower and upper bound. The fourth was based on bitmasking. Finally, the fifth one was on level order search in a binary tree.
The interview was a bit tough, with questions based on DSA and some concepts from C++, like virtual functions, dynamic polymorphism, and shared pointers. It is also recommended that you should know some basics of system design and memory management.
Most of your preparation time will be involved around Data Structures and Algorithms. Apart from this, it would be best to know C++ OOPS concepts. AlphaGrep tests your C++ knowledge for the Software Development Role, as most work involves C++.
They also sometimes test your systems knowledge with questions from Operating Systems and Computer Networks. Therefore, it would be handy if you had some knowledge of them.
Keep your CG as high as possible. As far as I can remember AlphaGrep doesn’t specify any CG cutoff, but they shortlisted only those students with a CG ≥ 9.30.
I was having a lot of problems initially with CP and DSA. I always struggled to solve medium-hard problems on coding platforms like Codeforces. My consistency and persistence in doing the DSA problems was the key to overcoming this, eventually leading to better results.
The job is most suited for any individual who-
Having some suitable coursework, research projects, or open-source activities, ideally in C++, is a plus point.
If you are preparing for SDE roles, try keeping DSA and CP skills as high as possible. Maintain your CG and accept to face rejection. Sometimes you may have performed well in a company interview but weren’t selected, but on the other hand, you get selected for a company in which you had very little chance. Try to do as much as you can. Sometimes you won’t get what you expected, but be consistent and keep confidence in yourself.
Day 1 companies like AlphaGrep and many other HFTs mostly overlook your CV. The only thing they are looking for in your CV is your Department and CG. It’s highly preferred that you are from a circuital department with a CG > 9. Apart from this, these companies only need good programming and mathematical ability.

Hello everyone! I am Aryan Gupta, a third-year undergraduate in the Department of Chemical Engineering enrolled in its BTech course. I am glad to be able to help out fellow KGPians with what I have learned in the process .whilst securing an SDE intern at Amazon via the CDC procedure.
2) How did you get into Amazon? What was the selection procedure?
I would like to briefly outline my journey throughout the second year and how it has contributed. My interest in computer science topics led me to take various application-level courses in CSE and related departments. This gave me course projects with hands-on experience in core software projects. I had some exposure to web dev and data science via the general championship competitions. All these experiences helped me develop a solid background.
As far as the selection process goes, it included a coding round and an interview for me. The coding round had three questions ranging from medium to hard. The interviews involved a discussion about my projects, followed by coding questions to be approached in a step by manner by improving the solution gradually.
I will not undermine the DSA preparation that remains omnipresent in the process. I had some early exposure to C++. Nevertheless, I prepared the usual set of topics, used GFG and YT as my helping hand, and gave contests to prepare myself for the time-constrained setup. Also, it is very important to practice from Leetcode and InterviewBit for the standard questions.
Thanks to our seniors who have compiled a detailed resource manual for preparation (Link)
The main problem that needs to be cleared for people preparing for CDC is regarding a roadmap/guide to conquer X. Rather; one needs to understand the importance of sticking to a plan but be adaptive in the process according to the situation. You can chalk out your plan and take guidance from seniors or take a course if it helps, but you need to be consistent.
This role is meant for problem solvers, and that is what gets tested in the entire process. It can be that one is a good problem solver but doesn’t want to adopt the coding route, which is perfectly fine.
As a last piece of advice, remember that you will always find a way to excel if you strive to. So never get disheartened if your efforts do not yield results in CDC; the process isn’t robust enough to judge your true potential. But use it as a reminder for the countdown to start thinking about what direction you want to proceed in your life and out of college.

Hey, I am Mihir Raj, a third-year undergraduate student from the Department of Mechanical Engineering pursuing a B.Tech course at IIT Kharagpur. I am from Ranchi, Jharkhand. I will be joining Honeywell as a software engineering intern from May‘23.
How did you get into Honeywell(SWE)? What was the selection procedure?This role was open for all the pre-final students from all the departments. The screening test consisted of three coding questions with moderate difficulty levels. The test was conducted on the Hackerank platform.Question 1: It was on Graph Traversal, where we were presented with an undirected graph with N nodes and M edges and had to calculate the Connected Sum of each component and finally come to the final answer.Question 2: It was on Segment Tress, but O(n 2 ) approach passed all the test cases because of its weak nature. In this, we have given two arrays, one of which stores the indices of the items in the order they are placed in the queue, and the other stores the instantaneous position where the corresponding item is placed in the queue. It was mentioned that each time an item is inserted, all the following items are shifted toward the right by one position, and finally, we need need to find out the sequence of the item in the queue after all the items have been placed.Question 3: It was based on a map and some operations of it; I do not remember it exactly :)After the shortlisting based on CV and test, the next step involved a technical interview followed by an HR round. The technical round has some questions on sorting algorithms (as my project was a sorting visualizer), a couple of short coding questions followed by some basics on the OOPs concepts, and a brief discussion on all the projects I had mentioned in my CV and finally discussed all the technical expertise mentioned in my CV. The last round was the HR round, where standard HR questions like past experiences, what difference you can make if selected,and how you are a team player. HR would be particularly interested in extracurricular activities, your ability to express yourself, and, most significantly, whether or not you share the company’s values. Going through the firm’s page and checking out the current working domain of the organization is highly recommended for the HR round, as HR would want you to have some understanding of the company to which you are applying. Examine the company’s values aswell.
To prepare specifically for Honeywell, you should have an excellent grasp of Data Structures and Algorithms. There will be medium questions on the test, so clear all of the principles of conventional DSA, and concentrate more on Dynamic programming and graphs, as these topics are included in practically every company’s test. In terms of coding examinations, you should solve questions for at least two months to gain a firm grasp. You could practice questions on sites such as Leetcode, InterviewBit, and GFG because the questions will be pretty similar. I personally used the AlgoZenith platform and InterviewBit mostly to solve the question.You should be familiar with the projects listed on your interview CV. Maintain your composure and avoid panicking throughout the interview. Never code in an interview as if you know everything about the problem; instead, try to interact with the interviewer, ask questions, and if you don’t have any, tell him what you’re doing to solve the problem and why you’re doing it; only then will the interviewer be interested in you; ask for hints if you’re stuck anywhere; the interviewer is there to help you; they just want to check your thought process. To prepare for the behavioral questions in the HR round, you should be familiar with the STAR (situation, task, action, and result) technique and look over the company’s Leadership principles.
The most challenging issue I encountered was thinking about the question with its optimal response in a certain period during the screening exam while under pressure to do better than others. To overcome this, you can give mock tests before the CDC test begins. Technical interviews are not the same as competitive programming. In interviews, you must gradually workyour way up to the most effective answer while being unaware of the limits. However, the limits determine the entire approach and mentality in a programming competition. Being a CP man might cause some issues during interviews. Occasionally not directly looking at the limitationsshould be sufficient to circumvent this difficulty.
While studying for CDC, you may suffer rejections in coding exams, mainly due to CGPA on Day 1 or Day 2. During this time, you must be psychologically intense and trust in yourself.
Anyone interested in developing software, coding, or handling extensive data, in general, can apply for this role. Honeywell provides various tech stacks and projects for interns, including DevOps, Machine Learning, Web apps, MicroServices, Databases, and more. You might be able to work on these cutting-edge technologies. Anyone interested in these positions iswelcome to apply; Honeywell had no department or CG criteria at our time, and the work-life balance will become apparent after I begin my internship on the 22nd of May.
Write down all of your projects/internships and show them adequately in your CV, as this is a crucial component of any interview. The project can be self-directed or directed by a professor. Highlight all of your accomplishments in the Academic Achievements section. Enter your handle ratings from sites such as Codeforces and CodeChef. Mention your rank if you participated in Google Code Jam, Kickstart, or Facebook Hacker Cup. Put open source contributions, if any.
Finally, avoid getting caught up in the number games of Day 1, 2, and so on.Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year. During the interview, always think out loud. Never try to lie on your CV, and be prepared to answer inquiries regarding projects you stated on it. Follow your heart and only apply for roles in which you are interested. Only apply for some jobs that come your way in the first few days. It’spreferable to receive an internship in a role you’re interested in on Day 2, 3, or even later than to settle for a Day 1 internship wholly unrelated to your field of interest. Determine which roles you want to pursue and prepare appropriately. Make in touch with others who are planning for thesame event. Discuss worries and doubts with them. Always read the editorials after you’ve solved an issue. It aids in the investigation of improved coding styles and other ways. Align your CVs with the positions you’ll be applying for and have them checked by 2–3 seniors. The codingtests are hectic, so get proper rest during break time. Maintain your enthusiasm on the interview day, and keep going if your friends get internships on Day 1 or Day 2. Don’t worry too much about CDC internships. The CDC does not spell the end of the world. There are otheralternatives available, including off-campus or research internships outside of the CDC.
Best Wishes, and All the Best!!

Throughout this journey, I have come to understand the vital importance of balancing both knowledge and experience, recognizing that they are inseparable components for success, especially in the realm of Machine Learning enthusiasts like myself.
The journey of securing an internship at Amex was both challenging and rewarding. The selection procedure comprised a test round followed by an interview round, which allowed me to showcase my skills and qualifications. Let’s delve into the details of the selection procedure that led to my successful internship at Amex.
The application process began with a test round consisting of three sections: Quant, Machine Learning, and Business Case Study. The Quant section was compulsory, and I had the option to choose between the Machine Learning and Business Case Study questions. The Quant section, with its 20 aptitude questions, presented challenges involving puzzles and data inference based on pie charts and other plots. It required me to think critically and apply my quantitative skills effectively. Despite the difficulty, I managed to complete all the questions within the given time frame of 30 minutes. The Machine Learning and Case Study sections, on the other hand, were relatively easier. The Business Case Study was particularly intriguing, with a pool of about 130 unlockable questions covering various aspects of business such as marketing and financing. Selecting the right set of questions to answer a specific business question required a thorough understanding of the subject matter.
Upon successfully clearing the test round, I advanced to the interview round. The first round of the interview involved a discussion with a senior manager from the marketing team, boasting 7–8 years of experience. During this round, the interviewer extensively examined my CV and asked questions based on its content. The questions assessed my knowledge, skills, and compatibility with Amex’s values and objectives. I was also asked to articulate my motivation for wanting to join Amex. The interviewer’s friendly demeanor created a comfortable environment for the conversation. It’s worth mentioning that some of my friends who went through the interview process were presented with puzzles to solve during this round.
The second round of the interview began with a more in-depth exploration of my CV. The interviewer delved into the results and inferences from my past projects and internships, allowing me to showcase my achievements and demonstrate the practical application of my skills. Subsequently, I was presented with a data problem statement that required me to devise a data pipeline to address the given challenge. Emphasis was placed on feature engineering, highlighting the importance of this aspect in the field. Following the technical aspects, I was asked standard HR questions, queries about Amex’s business model, and my motivation for joining the company. Attending the Amex presentation proved to be highly beneficial as it provided valuable insights and prepared me to answer questions related to the company’s operations, values, and objectives.
Fortunately, after successfully navigating the selection process, I received the news that I had secured the internship at Amex. Looking back, I attribute my success to being confident and well-prepared during the interview rounds. Attending the Amex presentation helped me gain a deeper understanding of the company, enabling me to answer questions more effectively.
For anyone aspiring to join Amex, my advice is to approach the interview rounds with confidence and be well-prepared.

These chapters cover probability and statistics topics and provide valuable practice questions and explanations. By working through these materials, you can improve your quantitative aptitude, reasoning abilities, and problem-solving techniques.
5. Practice Data Interpretation and Inference:
In addition to probability, the ability to interpret data and make informed inferences is vital. Practice analyzing and drawing conclusions from charts, graphs, and other forms of data representation. This skill will come in handy during the test round and interview rounds, where you may encounter data-related questions. Strengthening your data interpretation skills will allow you to showcase your analytical abilities and make evidence-based decisions.
6. Stay Updated and Engaged:
Keep yourself informed about the latest industry trends, especially in the finance and technology sectors. Stay updated on advancements in data analytics, financial modeling, and relevant technologies. Engage in online forums, attend webinars, and participate in relevant communities to stay connected with professionals and gain insights into the industry. By staying actively engaged, you demonstrate your enthusiasm for the field and your commitment to ongoing learning and growth.
Remember, preparation is key to success. Prioritize showcasing your projects and internships, practicing quantitative aptitude and probability, mastering machine learning concepts, and strengthening your quantitative and reasoning abilities. With a focused and comprehensive preparation strategy, you can position yourself as a strong candidate and increase your chances of securing an internship at Amex. Good luck!
While preparing for the Amex internship, I encountered a few challenges along the way. However, with perseverance and the right strategies, I was able to overcome these difficulties. Here are some of the challenges I faced and the steps I took to overcome them:
1. Rigorous Selection Process:
The selection process at Amex is known for its rigor, which initially felt overwhelming. The competitive nature of the test round and the intense interviews posed a significant challenge.

In my opinion, individuals with a strong foundation in quantitative aptitude, data analysis, and problem-solving skills are ideally suited for the Amex internship. Candidates who have a passion for finance, technology, and data-driven decision-making will find the internship particularly rewarding. The ability to effectively communicate complex ideas, work well in teams, and demonstrate a drive for continuous learning and growth are also valued qualities at Amex.
As someone who has gone through the CDC process and experienced the pressure and uncertainty, I would like to offer some specific advice to candidates sitting for internships this year:
1. Stay Calm and Confident: The CDC process can be overwhelming, and it’s natural to feel anxious before interviews. However, it’s crucial to remain calm and have confidence in your abilities. Keeping a calm mindset allows the interview process to flow smoothly, and self-confidence gives you the strength to perform at your best. Remember to trust in your preparation and believe in yourself.
2. Don’t Doubt Your Capabilities: If you don’t get selected for a Day 1 or Week 1 internship, it does not define your skills or capabilities. The CDC process involves an element of luck, and there are numerous opportunities beyond the initial rounds. Keep in mind that every opportunity is a chance to showcase your potential, so give your best shot each time. Your dedication and effort matter more than the timing of the internship.
3. Embrace the Learning Experience: Approach the internship search as an opportunity to learn and grow. Every interview, even if it doesn’t result in an offer, provides valuable experience and feedback. Take note of areas for improvement and continue to develop your skills. The process itself is a valuable learning journey that can shape your future career path.
4. Network and Seek Guidance: Engage with your seniors, mentors, and professionals in the industry. Seek advice, guidance, and insights from those who have been through similar experiences. Networking can provide valuable information about companies, interview strategies, and the industry as a whole. Don’t hesitate to reach out to individuals who can offer support and share their knowledge.
5. Persistence and Resilience: The internship search can be challenging, and setbacks may occur. However, it’s important to remain persistent and resilient. Stay motivated and keep pushing forward, even in the face of rejections or delays. Your determination and ability to bounce back from setbacks will demonstrate your strength of character and resilience.
Remember, the CDC process is just one part of your journey. It does not define your worth or potential. Focus on continuous improvement, maintain a positive mindset, and seize each opportunity with enthusiasm. Your hard work and dedication will ultimately lead you to the right internship opportunity and contribute to your personal and professional growth.

I’m Sagar Kumar Karn, a final-year undergraduate student of Economics at IIT Kharagpur. I am currently working at American Express as an Analyst Intern. I am a boarder of Patel Hall of Residence.
2) How did you get into Amex? What was the selection procedure?
I started exploring Data Science in my second year and became quite interested in this field. I pursued two research internships in this domain in my third year. One of them was at the Insitute of Technology and Business, Czech Republic, and another at the Centre for Analytical Finance. These internships helped me to gain a further understanding of this field.
Now coming to the selection procedure, the test comprised of three sections namely Aptitude, Machine Learning, and Case Study. The first section had 20 MCQ questions on aptitude and basic Prob stats and had to be solved in 40 minutes. The questions were of CAT level and included puzzles, probability and statistics, etc.
The second section had 10 questions on ML and had to be done in 20 minutes. To get through this section you need to have a clear understanding of various ML algorithms and models. The questions were centered around Decision Trees, XGBoost, black box models, k nearest neighbors, etc.
The third section is a case study section where you are given a case and you are required to give an answer to a question. To arrive at the answer you have 50 questions at your disposal and you can unlock at max 25 of them. The fewer questions you unlock to get to the correct answer, the better your score is. You can attempt either or both of the second and third sections. The best of the two is taken into account. The first section is compulsory.
Now coming to the interview, there were two interview rounds. The first round was mostly based on my knowledge of machine learning and deep learning. One of the questions in the first round was on how I was asked about how XGBoost works and what is boosting. The second round basically revolved around my resume and my previous internships and projects. The interviewer asked me to explain one of my projects and then after I was done, asked various cross questions on the same. It is therefore important to be thorough with the internships and projects that you mention in your resume because they can easily see through if have just written it but you don’t have a basic understanding of the project.
To prepare for Probability and Statistics, “50 Challenging Problems in Probability” and “Heard on the Street” are great books. You can practice for the aptitude section from Brainstellar.
For machine learning and deep learning, it is important to have a basic understanding of different algorithms and models. One of the best resources to start off with Machine Learning is the course by Andrew NG for machine learning. For deep learning, Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera is a good resource. Other than that Stanford University courses such as CS230(Deep Learning), CS231n(Computer Vision), CS224n(Natural Language Processing), etc are also great courses to follow.
Once you are done with the theory do some self-projects to test your understanding and practical implementation of what you have learned.
One of the basic difficulties I faced was that I did not take enough time to revise all the stuff before the interviews. I was preparing for both SDE roles and Analytics roles and had devoted more time to DSA, so had quite less time to revise Data Science topics. My advice to people prepping for both profiles is to keep enough time for the revision of these topics.
If you have an interest in Data Science and want to work on real-life problems involving data science in the credit card industry then this is one of the best places to work. Work that you do here would actually add value to the company. The work here is more on the implementation and analytical side so folks who are really interested in the implementation of ML algorithms should definitely go for it.
My advice to my juniors would be to decide the roles that they prepare for according to their interests. Instead of following the rat race develop your skill set in the particular field you actually like and want to work on. Don’t just get into coding if you don’t actually like coding. Explore various fields and decide according.
Another piece of advice I want to give is to remain positive and confident throughout the process. It is a cruel process, a bit dependent of luck and a lot of other factors that you cannot control. But always remember CDC internship is just a way for you to get an internship. It is certainly not the end of the world. There are ample opportunities out there. If you are not getting an internship through CDC then you shouldn’t feel disheartened. Keep working hard and expanding your skill set. Keep looking out for off-campus internships and competitions.
Lastly, I would reiterate that you should decide whether you “want to get an intern” or you “want to get an intern in a field that you are interested in”. Depending on what is your answer prepare accordingly. If you want to prepare for more than one profile then prioritize accordingly and manage time effectively. Also, be confident during the interviews, and if you don’t know the answer to any question just politely say that you don’t know instead of meandering here and there and wasting time. Be honest in the interview and don’t mention something in your CV that you haven’t actually done.
When preparing for interviews in Data Analytics, do include one or two projects in this domain. In interviews for Data profiles, your CV plays quite an important role. Having projects in ML or DL would surely be a plus point on your CV and you would be able to drive your interview around the projects you have done. Also when mentioning an intern or a self project in your CV, the impact created (if any) and the improvement from a previous approach(if any) should be written.

Hello, My name is Sneha Kharya. I am a fourth year undergraduate student from the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences enrolled in its integrated Masters of Science course of Economics. I am from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. I got selected in American Express through the CDC internship drive. Previously, I had worked as an Analytics Intern at Godrej Capital Limited Mumbai, and as Research Intern at the University of Newcastle. Apart from academics, I have held the POR of Head of Finance at Quant Club, IIT Kharagpur and General Secretary Sports at Sister Nivedita Hall of Residence.
The selection procedure consists of three steps: an online test, a technical interview, and another interview with both technical and HR questions.
It is essential that you are thorough with Prob Stats and have a habit of solving puzzles. I had solved Heard on the Street and 50 challenging problems on Probability to prepare for the puzzles and had gone through the Prob Stats course that I had as my depth in second year.
For ML part after learning the concepts you can go through various online resources like InterviewBit to practice ML questions.
Apart from that you should be thorough with your CV and know every project in detail. For the HR interview, do go through the culture of AMEX and the different credit card offerings they provide.
Anyone with interest in analytics can apply. Interest in finance is a plus.
5) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year.
Be consistent with your prep and plan your day beforehand. If you are preparing for multiple profiles and are confused between a few profiles try to find the profile you are better and focus more on that. It always helps if you are preparing with your friends as it keeps you motivated and you can help each other in case of doubts. Do take fundae from seniors who have prepared for similar profiles. Maintain a healthy routine, spend some time for recreation and do keep check on your friends as well. The CDC process can be challenging and demotivating, but ensure that you prepare diligently and give it your all. Even if you don’t succeed in the CDC, there are numerous off-campus opportunities that may be even more promising. Machake Junta!
6) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?)

I’m Ishan Manchanda, an undergraduate student in the Industrial and Systems Engineering department, pursuing a bachelor’s degree. I’m a member of the Debating Society and now an Advisor at the Kharagpur Open Source Society. Previously, I’ve been a member of the Perception team at Aerial Robotics Kharagpur and an associate at Business Club. I sat for the CDC Internship drive last year and will have my internship in the Quantitative Research and Development role at APT Portfolio Pvt. Ltd. this summer. I’m a boarder of Nehru Hall and currently live in Gurgaon.
How did you get into APT? What was the selection procedure?
The first stage was a 2-hour online coding test. The test comprised 6 coding questions, no MCQs or anything else. I would estimate the question complexity to span 1400–1800 Codeforces rating or so, the questions were definitely of a slightly higher level than the average CDC coding test that season. I did quite well in the test — in the ballpark of 3 or 4 fully correct questions and the remaining having between 60 and 80% test cases passing, and was moderately confident about expecting a shortlist.
Shortlists were announced based on test performance (possibly including some contribution from the resume, I have no information about that). I had filled APT as my priority so had my first round of interviews at 8 am. The first interview was on Google Meet with a shared Hackerrank link, where I had to run my code to demonstrate correctness. There were no formal test cases, the interviewer verbally described some to me or asked me to come up with them myself and write some minimal boilerplate code to run my solution against them. The round was entirely based on trees. I was first asked about the different traversals and had to implement one. Then, I was asked to write an algorithm to edit the tree so that the in-order traversal of the new tree was equal to the pre-order traversal of the original, or something similar. I developed a solution using an external stack which the interviewer was surprised to find out. After I demonstrated correctness and implemented his test case, he asked me to optimize away this space usage by reusing pointers within the tree. I took some time here but with some hints, I was able to implement a solution. I was asked one final modification to this question which I only verbally described as we were out of time. The interview overran the timeslot and lasted 65 minutes, immediately after which I was asked to join the next round.
The next round was a change of pace as it did not involve CP at all — it was entirely based on logic puzzles such as those on Brainstellar and math questions. I was able to do most questions well, but one of the math questions was proving a theorem about the subsets of a set of numbers and I took a lot of hints and time to reach the end of it. This single question probably took 30+ minutes in the interview. I was quite disheartened during this, and I think my saving grace was that I was constantly thinking out loud so the interviewer could see that I was trying many different approaches (which might have been incorrect but were something). Toward the end of the interview, I was asked a singular non-technical question about “Why Quant?” I responded by saying it lay at the intersection of my interests in Machine Learning, Algorithms, and Securities Markets. This round also lasted ~one hour, and within 5–10 minutes of it ending, I was called back for a third round.
The third round had a mix of small CP questions that I was asked to verbally describe my approach to (along with time/space complexity analysis), along with some more puzzles and math questions. One of the math questions again involved a multi-stage proof about coloring points on a 2D plane and I was able to solve all versions of it, with some hints. The interview also ended with the same question about “Why Quant?” and I was told at the end to expect a decision within an hour. Around 40 minutes later I was called by the Placecomm member who was coordinating interviews at APT and informed of my offer.
I think preparation for this role at APT should revolve around Competitive Programming. As I’ve mentioned, CP was crucial for both the coding round as well as two out of three interviews I had. In general, my experience was that quant roles or even SDE roles at quant firms had higher levels of questions in their online coding rounds so practicing questions around the 1600–1800 level would be my recommendation.
The interview puzzles were largely standard ones and preparing from Brainstellar and Heard on the Street should be sufficient. In my opinion, one quick round of these resources can be done before test season and major prep can be done in parallel with the tests or as part of targeted interview prep for this role (more on this approach in the specific advise section). TED-Ed’s riddles videos are also a great resource for these questions.
Difficulties arose from my not being clear on whether to target Quant or SDE profiles early on. I was preparing for both and only at the very end did I decide to put the Quant firms higher on my priority list. Owing to this, I spent less time on puzzles than I probably should have, but it worked out in the end. I was also limited in the number of Quant opportunities available for my branch, which reduced the margin of error I was allowed in the coding tests.
Aside from this, I ramped up my preparation late as I was (for some reason) expecting the CDC timeline to be a month or so later than it was. Due to this, I was still polishing my CP skills during the tests instead of targeted interview prep which that time should ideally be reserved for.
The selection procedure is tilted towards CP so people with experience and who find coding fun have an edge. The puzzles asked in the interview can be conveniently prepared for but I’m not sure how one would prepare for the ad-hoc math questions. To that extent, the procedure is more kind to people who might have a natural knack for logical or game-based puzzles, and so on.
The actual work is likely to involve a mix of Machine Learning/Data-based systems, designing and implementing algorithms, and possibly some amount of knowledge in Securities/Derivatives markets. People who find these fields interesting and have some prior experience or at least basic knowledge are likely to be more suited.
Regardless, it’s a fairly coveted day 1 role and a lot of people targeting tech roles might find it interesting and enriching to apply for.
This is advice geared toward tech roles.
For coding rounds: Go for partial solutions. Especially for the harder tests (quant companies in general), try and determine as soon as you read the problem if you can solve it fully or will have to go for a partial score. You mustn’t waste a lot of time on the full solution of a particular question at the expense of submitting partials to multiple questions which would’ve net you a higher score. If you have a good sense of this early, you can do the full solutions you’re comfortable with along with partials for the rest of the questions in the first pass, and then return to the question you have the fewest passing test cases or the question where you might have the highest chance of improving to a full or even a better-partial solution.
Aside from this, one more learning is that doing “decent”/“good” in all tests is not a useful goal. Even if you get shortlisted for everything, you can only seriously interview for only one or two (at most 3) companies/roles on a particular Day. To this end, having 2–3 really good tests and disastrous performance on the rest is far better than having “good” performance on all tests.
For interviews: By the time you’re towards the end of the test season, you should have some idea of how well you’ve done in each test and have a list of expected shortlists. Some brutal honesty would be good here and I would recommend dividing the roles into “highly likely”, “maybe”, and “highly unlikely” in terms of shortlist probability. Of course, these are based on others’ performance and as well so some idea of the baseline difficulty of the test vs your performance needs to be sought. These lists should be made on a rolling basis as tests happen and once you have a few companies which are “maybe” or better, you should start laser-focused interview prep for the 2–3 companies you aspire for and are hoping for shortlists at. I highly recommend contacting seniors who interned at these firms via Facebook and asking them in as much detail as possible about what was asked in their interviews. For example, I was very confident of a DE Shaw shortlist so I reached out to seniors and prepared OOPS in that last week just for their interview. I did not end up interviewing with them finally, but if I had walked in with only CP prep I likely would’ve been well out of my depth.
I also think towards the end, if you have a few of your highest-priority companies in the “highly likely” list, it might be useful to stop giving the online tests and dedicate this time to interview prep. This is something I did at the very end and probably should have done a little sooner.
Not sure how relevant the CV is for this profile. It wasn’t brought up even once across all 3 interviews and I wasn’t asked to talk about any prior experience in my introduction. I think general tech CV advice should hold — prioritize technical experience/work at the expense of co-curricular on the CV, more relevant technologies to the role are better so try and customize CVs between quant-data and SDE roles, etc. Additionally, try to include ratings on Codeforces/other CP websites, it may not be that impactful for this role but is for other tech ones.

Greetings, my name is Manav Nitin Kapadnis. I am a fourth-year Dual Degree undergraduate student studying Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. This summer, I will be interning at AWL Inc. as an AI Engineer. I have gained valuable experience through previous internships with renowned institutions like University College London, University of Alberta, Rutgers University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. My research interests focus on the practical applications of Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing, particularly in the areas of Natural Language Processing, Graph Machine Learning, Representation Learning, and Multi-Modal Learning.
2) How did you get into AWL? What was the selection procedure?
I joined AWL Inc., a Japanese Deeptech startup specializing in Computer Vision and Deep Learning-based video analytics solutions, as an AI Engineer Intern. The selection process involved the following steps:
Resume Selection Round:
To progress to the next stage, it was crucial to have a strong background in Deep Learning and Machine Learning, supported by a few notable projects. While there was no specific CGPA cutoff, having a CGPA above 8 and an impressive resume significantly increased the chances of moving forward. Alternatively, even with an average CV, a CGPA above 9 provided a favorable opportunity.
Coding, Aptitude, and Data Science MCQ Round:
This round lasted approximately 1.5 hours and included a mix of two coding questions, around 10–15 multiple-choice questions related to Data Science, focusing on probability, statistics, computer vision, and deep learning. Additionally, there were MCQs assessing knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms. Qualifying this round was essential to proceed to the final interview round.
Final Interview Round:
The interview round primarily revolved around discussing the projects and internships mentioned in the resume. The interviewers delved into the details of representative internships or projects, seeking explanations about the motivation behind them, encountered challenges, and how they were overcome. Furthermore, a case-study test was conducted, where I was asked to provide solutions to a problem the company was facing with their current product. This round typically lasted around 30 minutes, emphasizing the need to present one’s best project for discussion, as it played a significant role in shaping the final decision.
I had mainly prepared for Data Roles in CDC. To prepare for the selection process, I followed a structured approach focusing on specific areas:
Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA):
I solved a variety of coding problems from InterviewBit, ensuring I covered the majority of the practice questions. In the weeks leading up to the selection process, I revised the challenging questions to reinforce my understanding. Although DSA wasn’t my primary focus, I made sure to cover the essential concepts necessary for success.
Machine Learning (ML):
I found Krish Naik’s YouTube playlist on Complete Machine Learning to be an excellent resource for gaining in-depth knowledge of various ML algorithms. This playlist also provided coding examples to understand and implement the algorithms from scratch. Additionally, I discovered the StatQuest YouTube channel, which offers easy-to-follow explanations of fundamental concepts. This channel also has a playlist specifically covering Probability, which was helpful for strengthening my understanding. For practice questions, I utilized Analytics Vidya’s top N questions for ML and Data Science interviews.
Probability and Statistics (Prob Stats):
I had previously taken a course on Probability and Statistics (MA20104), which provided a theoretical foundation. Alternatively, I recommend the Stat 110 course offered by Harvard University, which is available for free on Edx or YouTube. For practice, I used assignments from Stat 110 and questions from the book “Fifty Challenging Problems in Probability.” If additional practice was needed, I referred to InterviewBit’s DS and ML practice questions.
CV Preparation:
For each section of my CV (projects, internships, positions of responsibility), I created a comprehensive list of potential interview questions and prepared answers in advance. I found it helpful to make concise notes for each heading, which I could quickly review the day before the interview.
Please refer to the following link for a Google Doc containing a collection of resources I used for preparation: [Resource Doc Link:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YqjIMPHBfa_ioSsoaKN9R79xsUKQD3aIlIGo5SUGX_0/e dit]
Difficulties faced and tips to overcome them:
- Comprehensive Data Topics: Data encompasses a wide range of topics, making it challenging to brush up and revise everything just a day before the interview. To overcome this difficulty, I maintained a Notion board or a similar tool to track the topics I had covered and those that still needed review. This helped me stay organized and focused during my preparation, ensuring I covered all essential areas over time.
- Balancing CDC Preparation and Internship Work: I faced the difficulty of managing my CDC preparation alongside the responsibilities of my internship, particularly when I was visiting Canada. To address this challenge, I recommend starting the preparation process from mid-May if you are interning during the summer before CDC. Alternatively, if you have one month before the CDC process begins (typically in July), it is still feasible to prepare effectively, provided you have already been practicing Competitive Programming (CP) during the previous semester. Efficient time management and prioritization are key to maintaining a balance between internship work and CDC preparation.
- Finding Practice Questions for ML Case Studies: I encountered difficulty in finding sufficient practice questions specifically focused on ML case studies. To overcome this challenge, I relied on reputable platforms such as Analytics Vidya, Interviewbit, and MLExpert. These platforms offer a wide range of questions that help build a strong conceptual and practical understanding of the concepts required for data roles. Exploring their resources and regularly practicing with their case study problems can enhance your preparation for ML-related interviews.
By implementing these tips, you can navigate the difficulties faced during the preparation process and optimize your chances of success in the selection process.
Ideally, individuals who have a genuine interest in the field of Machine Learning and Data Science should apply for this job. If you have a passion for Data Science and are seeking an opportunity to work in a fast-paced international startup environment, AWL Inc. would be the ideal place for you.
- Research Companies: Take the time to research and understand the companies you are interested in. Explore their products, services, and values to ensure they align with your career goals and interests.
- Build a Strong Resume: Tailor your resume to highlight relevant skills, experiences, and projects. Focus on showcasing your achievements and the impact you made in previous roles or academic projects.
- Practice Interview Skills: Brush up on common interview questions and practice your responses. Be prepared to discuss your experiences, projects, and technical knowledge. Mock interviews or interview preparation workshops can be helpful.
- Stay Positive and Persistent: The internship application process can be competitive, and rejections are common. Stay positive, learn from each experience, and keep trying. Persistence is key to finding the right opportunity
- Seek Guidance: Reach out to mentors, professors, or career counsellors for guidance and support throughout the application process. They can provide valuable insights and advice to help you succeed.

1 : Brief Introduction
Hello everyone, My name is Shubham Kulkarni and I am a third year undergraduate student in the department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering enrolled in its BTech course.
I am interning as an AI engineer at AWL, Inc. this summer of 2023, which I received via CDC internships 2022–23.
2 : How did you get into AWL ? What was the selection procedure?
AWL visited our campus on day 3 and there were a total of 2 rounds.
The test was two hours long and had quite a few sections covering questions across various domains such as probability and statistics, aptitude and machine learning. Along with these there were 4 programming questions of intermediate level based mostly on topics like graphs and dynamic programming.
2. Interview Round -
There was only 1 rather short interview round of approximately 30 minutes. The interviewer will first ask you to introduce yourself after which they will ask you to go through your CV shortly explaining about every internship, project or competition that you have mentioned. About 70% of the interview was questions based on my CV. i.e, the projects and the technical skills that I had mentioned. Remaining were some basic HR questions and a rather fun interaction.
3 : How to prepare for them?
From my experience, your CV is rather important for this profile. You should have a few internships or projects or competitions on your CV showcasing that you have some previous experience in ML. If you don’t have any internships or projects, you can opt for some good self-projects or some competitions such as on kaggle or other platforms. Competitions such as General Championship, OpenIIT or some other inter-college competition will also work.
You also need to do DSA and practice competitive programming as almost all of the companies for data/ML profile ask coding questions in their test rounds. A lot of students opt for the Algozenith course which is pretty good. But I personally did it by watching different YouTube videos and reading articles such as on GFG. For practicing your coding skills Inteviewbit is a good platform.
For the ML concepts, if you are just starting with ML you can do a few good courses on Coursera and Udemy. Some recommendations will be the Andrew NG ML and DL courses on coursera and ML A-Z course on Udemy. However, it will be much more effective if you do some projects using different ML algorithms. This will give you a better understanding of the algorithms and preprocessing methods (and another point for your CV). You should be aware of the mathematics behind the most common ML algorithms, as a company will be more interested in your understanding rather than your ability to copy paste a code. A YouTube channel named Statquest will be quite helpful for this. You should also have a good grasp of linear algebra for everything to make sense.
Probability and Statistics and puzzles is another important part of the process. For Probability and Statistics, one can refer to the lectures of the MA20205 course provided by the Mathematics department (Khare sir specifically) or the Stats110 playlist. For practice one can refer to the books ’50 challenging problems in probability’ and ‘Heard on the street’. You can practice puzzles on GFG puzzles or brainstellar.
Apart from all of these technical skills you should have good communication skills and confidence for your interview rounds.
4 : What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem
During my CDC preparation I wanted to get an intern in a Data/ML role and didn’t bother much about SDE. As a result, I didn’t focus much on competitive programming and studied mostly ML, DL and mathematics. This foolishness cost me as I couldn’t clear test rounds for some of the good data companies on day 1 and 2. To overcome this I simply practiced more and more CP even after the CDC process had started. So definitely learn from my mistake and do not ignore CP for this profile. The coding questions asked in the tests might not be as difficult as for a software company but you should have a good grasp on complete DSA.
5 : According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
Anyone who is interested in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision or software and wants to work under a friendly environment should definitely apply here. Other than that, anyone who wants a chance to work in Japan should apply :)
6 : Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year
7 : What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
Have multiple internships, projects, or competitions you have done in this field mentioned in your CV. These projects will help you steer the interview to your advantage. The interviewers also look at your technical skills so be sure to mention them. e.g., pytorch, keras, tensorflow, sklearn, etc.
All the best everyone. Machake!!

My name is Bharat Uday. I am from the Department of Electrical Engineering enrolled in its B. Tech course. During the CDC Internship drive, I received an internship from Bain and Co. at their New Delhi (Gurugram) office.
2) How did you get into Bain & Company? What was the selection procedure?
So this was the first time Bain and Co. came to campus to offer the ACI role (Associate Consultant Intern). The selection process comprised 3 major segments. The first was CV shortlisting; this is where all your past experiences, extracurriculars, PORs and achievements are evaluated. Next up, after CVs were shortlisted, we had the Buddy Sessions wherein a Buddy (i.e. a person working in Bain) is allotted to you, with whom you can prepare for the upcoming interviews; this involves case prep and guesstimate prep. Post the buddy round, we had a manager interview and then finally a partner round which mainly included questions from your CV and general HR questions and one case or guesstimate.
In order to prepare for the interview process at Bain, there are two things that one must prepare for: Guesstimates and Business Cases. There is no such extensive preparation that is required for consulting interviews. You just have to be very articulate, clear and have good quantitative abilities. So to prepare for these, I used majorly two books during the last 2 weeks before my interviews: Case Interviews Cracked (CIC — IIT Bombay) and Day 1 (IIT Madras). Guesstimates can also be practised from the same books. However, more than just the “book” oriented prep, it is more important to have an overall case prep in groups. So it is always advised to make a small group of people who would sit together daily and prepare for these cases and guesstimates. This is a process where one person is the interviewer and asks the other (interviewee) to proceed with the case or the guesstimate.
Majorly the problems I faced while preparing for interviews at Bain was that this was the first time it was coming to campus, so there were no seniors to talk to about what the process is actually like and what all happens during the process, so I had to contact ACIs from other IITs and talk to them about how the process proceeds further. Secondly, finding a case group is a challenging task, where everyone is motivated enough for consulting case prep and wants to take time out.
This job is basically for people who like to solve business problems, have business acumen and have a slight analytical background. Also, no specific skill set is required for a management consulting job, so nothing as such is needed like other roles of finance, quant or SDE.
Advice from my end would be that CDC is a very challenging and long process that takes a lot of toll on one’s mental and emotional health. I just want everyone to be part of groups, prepare together and stay in touch with seniors and mentors throughout the process. Also, it is essential to understand that a particular company might always be the right fit for you, and that can be grounds for rejection as well, and you never have to take rejections personally.
7) Kindly attach your resume. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
So CV is one of the most important aspects of the selection process at Bain. They would generally look for peaks in order to shortlist CVs.

Hey guys, my name is Ragini Laskar. I am a fourth-year undergraduate student from the Department of Mining Engineering enrolled in its dual degree course of Mining and Safety Engineering. I am an upcoming associate consultant intern at Bain and Company. I have previously interned at firms like KPMG and have also taken up leadership roles in campus organizations like 180 Degrees Consulting, IIT Kharagpur and ShARE, IIT Kharagpur.
2) How did you get into Bain and Company? What was the selection procedure?
I got into Bain with the help of the Career Development Centre, IIT Kharagpur. It was one of the consulting firms that recruited interns through an on-campus process for the year 2022.
The process was as follows :
1. CV Shortlist: The initial round of screening was based on our resumes. I submitted my CV on the CDC portal post which I received a shortlist confirmation
2. Buddy Rounds: The shortlisted people are then allocated buddies. A buddy is allocated to clarify doubts, provide suggestions and most importantly to practise cases with. NOTE that these rounds are non-evaluative and are not counted as official interview rounds but should be treated as mock interviews in order to be better prepared for the official rounds.
3. Official Interview Rounds: There are generally 3–4 rounds of interviews conducted depending on the candidate and the requirement of the firm.
The above-mentioned 3 rounds of interviews will be definitely conducted. Additional rounds with a partner/ manager might be taken depending on the process.
After qualifying all these rounds, congratulations you are offered the position of an intern in the firm!
The are three important aspects of consult preparation:
For understanding concepts:
For cases and guesstimates practise:
NOTE: The major part of preparation is practising cases with your batchies or seniors, who will act as the interviewer and guide you through the case. You can practise guesstimates on your own as well. An ideal approach would be to form a case group with 2–3 people interested in the same profile to practise cases consistently with and additionally practise a few cases with people who have gone through the consulting interview process to obtain more critical feedback.
3. HR prep: A classy introduction goes a long way, but dont overdo it! Apart from intro, a few basic questions that are expected in such interviews are:
A well-answered HR question is valued and a decent amount of weightage is given to your answers as they try to evaluate your fit not only to the role but also to the company culture
An ideal way to prepare for this can be
Anyone with a knack for problem-solving and who possesses good communication skills can surely apply!
7) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
As mentioned before a few points that will be valid to mention in your CV are:
All the best for the upcoming CDC! Feel free to reach out in case of further queries

Hello, I’m Preeti Nilanjana, a 3rd-year Department of Electrical Engineering undergraduate student enrolled in its B.Tech course.
2) How did you get into Bajaj? What was the selection procedure?
I was targeting core companies for my internship, so I applied. The first round was a written round with some maths questions, especially probability and statistics, mental ability questions, basic cp questions, and core electrical questions. It was for 90 minutes. If you score above certain marks, you must appear for a self-assessment test for around 15 minutes. Then comes the interview round and then the HR round.
Aptitude and probability statistics questions were solvable. For questions related to the electrical core, one should know the basics of electrical machines, analog and digital electronics, measurements, and instrumentation. For the interview round, in my case, they asked me about what topics I was more interested in and asked me questions related to them. You can expect questions about the projects you have mentioned in your CV. For the HR round, one should know about the company and the field in which it offers an internship.
As I spent my first and second years online, I faced issues. I was worried because I did not have any practical knowledge. As fewer core companies come for an internship, one can prepare some other profiles. Revising analog and digital electronics and electrical machines will help a lot.
Anyone interested in EVs, electronics, and machines can apply for this job. It will help you to explore more in the field of electric vehicles and related areas.
It will be a new process for you, and even if you do not get shortlisted for your desired companies, feel encouraged. If you target specific companies, prepare accordingly. In interviews, be confident and do not lie or bluff. If the interviewer asks if you have any questions for them, do not say no. You can ask about the role the company is offering or anything related to the company; it will show your curiosity about the job.
7) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (Any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
The interviewer goes through your CV and asks questions about it. Mentioning one or two projects will be good. The interviewer asked me questions related to the project I mentioned. Suppose you have done any internships before; you can mention them in your CV. Only add topics that you know about. You will make the wrong impression if you cannot explain things written in your CV.

Hello everyone! My name is Sreyash Layek. I am a fourth-year undergraduate student of the Department of Electrical Engineering enrolled in its Dual Degree program with a specialization in Machine Learning and Signal Processing. I will be joining Bajaj Auto as a summer intern in its R&D EEE Department for the summer of ‘23.
How did you get into Bajaj? What was the selection procedure?
Bajaj Auto came on Day 2 of the Internship drive and was opened for AE, ME, EE, EC and IM branches for CV submissions. After CV shortlisting, the selected candidates were invited for an MCQ test.
The MCQ Test consisted of 90 questions which had to be completed in a window of 90 minutes. The test comprised of 4 sections namely-
The shortlisted candidates were then invited for the interview rounds. There were 2 rounds- One Technical Round and one HR round.
Technical Round: Very Basic questions from Electrical circuits, Transient states were asked. Then, I had a project in my resume that used CNN to detect Covid-19 through cough samples. They asked me to explain the model architecture and subsequent questions followed where we discussed how we can deploy the project in real-time. This round typically lasted for around 20 minutes.
HR Round: Thetion Technical Round was followed by an HR Round, where I was asked about my choice of MTech specialization. It was followed by a brief discussion on my projects and we again discussed how some of them can be improved and deployed to solve some of the existing challenges. Also, we had a small discussion regarding my PORs on campus. This lasted for another 20 minutes.
After the HR round, within 15 minutes I was informed about my selection in Bajaj Auto.
For the MCQ Test, English/comprehension questions are fairly intuitive and you don’t need preparation for that. For Analytical and Statistical, knowledge of basic statistics, probability, Permutation and Combination is a must and you can practice additional questions from CAT's previous papers, solve puzzles from brainstellar.com and solve ample probability, analytical questions from the web.
For the technical questions, following the course curriculum of EE is enough. Special care must be given to studying some core EE courses like Power Electronics, Controls and Electrical Machines. Also, be thorough with the knowledge of Basic Electronics.
Questions asked are easy and don’t involve lengthy calculations, having basic knowledge works for most cases.
For the interview rounds, be very thorough with your CV and you must be able to explain all your projects well. Confidence is key and they check your confidence and problem handling skills along with the generic technical skills.
The MCQ test will require you to solve 90 questions in 90 minutes, so the test is heavily dependent on how quickly one can solve questions. If you are not thorough with the concepts, you won’t be able to finish a considerable number of questions on time.
Spend most time of your summer practicing analytical statistical questions as no matter which profile you sit for, these will come in handy. Additionally, revise all previous EE courses to perform well in the test.
Students interested in core Electrical Engineering and having an interest in Automotive industry/ Electric Vehicles should apply for this internship.
Having a project in the respective field often helps, but it’s not a requirement. (I, personally, didn’t have any core projects on my resume).
Have a decent CG(preferably >8.00, it will be even better if >8.50).This should get you through most of the CG shortlisting.
Mention any coursework that you find relevant to the internship, this could be a great conversation starter if you don’t have projects to mention in your CV.

Hello everyone! I am Venkata Sai Saran Grandhe, a fourth-year undergraduate student ofthe Department of Mechanical Engineering. I am from Nehru Hall of Residence. For the last CDC session, I was focused on the core profile only, and I got my CDC internship in Bajaj for the research and development domain but then didn’t take the internship because I got the research intern in France and I am currently doing that.
Regarding the selection process, first, there was a technical task which was total mechanical engineering questions which also included some syllabus from 3rd year by then I didn’t complete my 3rd year but I just referred to some topics online by referring to some online synopsis but I wasn’t that perfect on 3rd year so I totally focused on the mechanical topics of first year a little bit and 2nd year. So after the test, the people who are qualified in this test, so I don’t know the criteria on which they shortlist us maybe a cut-off, after this there was a psychometric test, by this what I mean is they ask some real-life questions, eg;- what happens when you are leading a team and team members are not working how would you manage total things, how genuine are you, how you manage time, so these were the question asked and was roughly a 30–40 min test.
I think there is no standard answer to this question; it’s all about how genuine you are. So what I observed is, if you are trying to convince the examiner that you are a good guy then you will definitely miss some points in the first and last question, so my suggestion in this point is be yourself, don’t try to impress the examiner.
After this, there was a direct interview. The first round was the technical round, I was asked questions based on my project and academics and after this, I was shortlisted in the HR round, they asked my interest and why I wanted to pursue an internship in Bajaj and they discussed some points about how my work life would be and how my work would be as an intern.
So this is the brief process for the Bajaj intern.
Okay so, considering the online test was the initial core mechanical question so I had all my notes neatly written and organised so I just referred to my notes and it was kindly easy because I was the one writing them. In case anyone has not written notes, suppose we have much online material for GATE There is kind of short synopsis and important concepts, there is anyone doesn’t have notes prepared they can use this, in my case I had notes written and for one or two topics I referred the online material. Many people plan to go through all the NPTEL lectures in each subject but this is a total waste of time because questions would be on the periphery level, and no one will ask you to derive. For this round, you don’t need to stress more on the details. You just need to have a basic idea of what the chapter is, what are the different formulas and how you apply formulas.
And for the interview round, one needs to be sure about the projects they have put in the CV from the point, even if the person has contributed, don’t mention that you have done a total project in CV, mention the point you have done because the interviewer will surely see the bullet point and ask you questions. For example, my one project was a robotic arm, so I used a fibre mechanism so I mentioned that this is the work I was involved in. The interviewer asked for minute details of the project so I was able to explain. So when you are about to give the interview, be sure about every point of the project mentioned. And regarding the interview technical aspects the interviewer will ask you what are your courses in the curriculum the course you tell defines the question he gonna ask, he knows all the courses you have undergone in your last semester, which you should be mentioning in your CV, mention the 3 courses you are totally strong in order of strength because the first course you gonna mention will be the first question asked.
For these 3 or 2 courses I suggest everyone who is planning for core CDC go through every detail of these courses, even the derivation because even though it was not asked to me, it was asked to my friend to derive an equation. I would suggest that you have at least a structural idea of how things work in the courses you’re gonna mention.
Yeah so I want to specifically mention one point there is any person focusing on core CDC intern considering the number of opportunities and competition it is very difficult to ensure that person gets intern on the first day, maybe his friend from the same department who is focusing on software or data they will be getting intern on Day 1 or there would be more of the people getting intern in initial days. Bajaj was on the 2nd day so I had many friends from mechanical who were placed on Day 1. It was not for a longer duration but I felt I should have applied for these and I would be constantly comparing myself with my friend, so the thing is don’t compare yourself with friends applying in other profiles so just be on your point and don’t feel sad or don’t feel disheartened when you didn’t get selected
On Day 1 I got shortlisted into ITC but I was unable to make to the GD round so at that moment I was totally frustrated because I did not get the first company which selected me for the further round so just stay motivated and don’t compare yourself with other, everyone life is unique and also preparation and also there is a small fraction of luck for CDC interview I don’t say that it’s totally luck but I would say 1% luck matter. Just be sure with your preparation and be confident. If you are confident you will definitely get one day or the other.
Considering this automobile company, this company expects someone from mechanical who is totally motivated towards the core and who has a decent CGPA so at the time of applying I had a CGPA greater than 9 and I have heard that a CGPA greater than 8 or 8.5 is suitable for core interview because the company is looking for someone inclined towards mechanical and your CGPA reflects your academic, this is one the key aspects the company looks for so I think a decent CGPA is must, and considering the second aspect, they also need project inclined towards mechanical. These two are the main aspects regarding just profile.
I just want to add one point for the people who are focusing on core mechanical jobs, let the interviewer know how interested you are in working on the core side because you need to stand out from other people who are applying for this job by showing how motivated you are for working with machinery and how motivated you are in doing research it may be worth mentioning some point like in my case we didn’t have IC engines when I was applying for the job, but in interview, I mentioned that I was highly fascinated that how engines worked and I studied some topics and I am free for questions in this way I expressed my interest that I want to stay in the core. I think this was the key factor that the interviewer selected because he saw the spark in me.
The second thing is even if there is someone who is interested but doesn’t have enough project just contact your engineer because there would be a mechanical engineering design project which they can use in their CV and they can complete in a span of 10–15 days
The third piece of advice I wanna add is if someone is interested to apply in these jobs they should learn software related to mechanical engineering or some designing software like Solid work or some data analysis software because these are the tools you apply to analyse any mechanical engineering projects. If you already have skill in this it would be an additional thing the interviewer is going to look at and the probability of hiring you increases.
As I mentioned in the skills part add the software I just mentioned if you know about them and used them previously POR doesn’t have that value in the case of core jobs but having the POR gives them the confidence that you are good in managing stuff on your own, you are good in leadership, try to include a POR but this is not mandatory like consultancy profile, but it is an add on to your CV.
Regarding the courses you mention other than academic courses, suppose there are some CAD course and engineering simulation courses which you might have covered on other platforms, that would be attractive for the companies or there would be some computation course which you would have learnt from a YouTube playlist, you can mention that these are course or I have the basic idea. These all things will be sufficient.
Note: Prepare your CV thoroughly before going to an interview.

1) Brief Introduction.Hey guys, Aryansh this side. I am a fourth year student of the department of Humanities and Social Sciences and a boarder of Patel Hall of Residence. In the past, I have worked at multiple organizations like Zomato, Invest India, Harvard Business School and now I am working as a Summer Associate at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
2) How did you get into BCG? What was the selection procedure?Firstly, there are pre-placement talks, the shortlisting process started, which could depends on variety of factors such as CGPA, Position of Responsibilities, Past Experience, Extracurriculars and so on. After that, consulting firms generally have a buddy or case rounds. In my case, the first case round was taken by a Project Leader and the second by a Managing Director & Senior Partner at the firm. After multiple rounds, the candidates were selected on the basis of problem solving attitude, approach towards the case and communication and other skillset.
3) How to prepare for them?You need to have a structured approach towards case preparation, alongside some good friends who can help you do extensive case practice.. Practice cases and guesstimates from books such as DayOne, Case Interviews Cracked and IIM-A Casebook. Those who prefer YouTube playlists can also refer to Victor Cheng’s video lectures.
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?The timeline between the CV submission, shortlist release and buddy/caserounds is often varying and can be very short too. In order to ensure goodcase skills, I believe candidates should be farsighted and do the requiredpractice beforehand. In our case also, I had a few amazing friends who helped me prepare beforehand, to ensure peace of mind during the final weeks.
5) According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?Consulting is a natural fit for people with structured thinking and attention to detail. It is also a great opportunity to get exposure on a diverse set ofindustries, projects and problem statements that can help an individual gain considerable experiences across domains. Those who love a fast-paced line with challenging problem statements, that can change the commercial or public sector as we know it, should put in a fight for consulting.
6) Kindly attach your resume. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?)A good CGPA helps a lot in getting shortlists (Not just for consulting, but ingeneral for CDC). Good exposure in past internships with meaningful work, that might be from any domain, be it Strategy or Finance or Tech, wil surely help you shine out. Some entrepreneurial experience or acts of initiative might also help you boost your chances of getting shortlisted.
7) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year?You’ll hear a lot of competition, tips-tricks, rumors, toxicity and what not when it comes to preparation or shortlists or transparency of process. There might be a constant sense of insecurity about your preparation or what you deserve. But always remember: There is no right path to a particular role, for everyone has to pave their own journey. There will be a whole lot of random variables, but the right mindset will always take you places. Getting an internship is not the end of the world; being happy is.

Hi, I am Dipanki Mukherjee Pabreja, a pre-final year student from the Civil Engineering department, and I shall be Interning at Boston Consulting Group this summer.
2) How did you get into BCG? What was the selection procedure?
The following procedure is followed:
CV Selection is the most critical aspect, as it is during this round that most of the candidates are eliminated. Around 1 CV is shortlisted for every 20 candidates.
After CV Shortlisting, during our selections, two rounds took place. A project manager took my 1st round of Interview. This round generally involves the interviewer asking a guesstimate or a case question followed by a few HR questions.
I was asked a guesstimate based on a topic that aligned with my interest that the Interview and I had talked about while introducing myself, followed by that a few HR Questions were asked like “What was the most challenging thing I have faced”.
In the third and final round, a partner takes the Interview, which mainly involves a case question. I was asked about a profitability case.
CV Making:
The first thing one needs to do to get a shortlist for the interview rounds is to create a stellar CV. Consult firms look for spikes ( high points) in your CV. This can range from having a POR to attending various conferences, being part of international events, case studies or Internships.
It is essential to utilise your summers properly so that you can get hold of imminent internships or even apply for certificates like FRM/CFA. This gives the interviewer an idea that you are an all-rounder with diversified interests and experience.
A POR gives the understanding you have been accountable and have managed different works in the past and have excelled in most of them. One also needs to maintain a decent CGPA. On average, 2–3 spikes are enough to get a shortlist.
Past work in areas similar to that in consulting also helps as it showcases that you have previous experience and have successfully implemented and showcased your work and understand how client-facing roles work.
Guesstimates and Case Questions:
Various resources are available on the net for the guesstimate and case questions. I would suggest thoroughly going through the books “Case Interview Cracked” and “Day 1.0: The Finance and Consulting Interview Guide”. All the available cases must be practiced with another person rather than going through them alone.
This gives an understanding of how one needs to think while a person is asking a question and if you can communicate your solution as effectively as it has been chalked out inside your mind.
Thus, try to find peers interested in similar profiles and start practicing cases with them from various sources to become proficient in all existing cases.
CV Review and HR Preparation:
Prepare your CV well, as the interviewer might also ask to explain certain aspects of your CV. Many times guesstimates and case questions are asked based on the things written on the CV.
It is essential to prepare HR Questions beforehand as well. Consultants prefer a structured answer, so one must answer these questions accordingly. It is easier if one has already practiced early, so one is not surprised by the questions asked.
Trying out guesstimates and case questions might become a bit daunting the first time. Various kinds of cases are there, and it gets difficult to understand how to structure them and solve such questions.
Hence it is essential that, alongside practicing with peers, you take constant help from seniors who have gone through the process so that they can point out the shortcomings and help you figure out a way to solve such questions.
Have your CV Reviewed by multiple people to mitigate any errors; as stated before, CV Shortlisting is taken very seriously by consulting firms.
Consultants solve problems for firms; hence if you enjoy solving problems and chalking out practical solutions, this job is for you.
Consulting is the way to go if a person wants to experience all different industries. It allows you to work out solutions for various firms and help them manage themselves better, giving an idea of numerous industries in a brief time period.
Consulting also involves extensive working hours and travel, so one should choose accordingly.
Try to find where your interests lie and prepare for that profile accordingly. Various factors come into play during the internship season, so prepare your best and do not be disheartened by any setback.
One might feel uncomfortable even during the preparation hence try to be with like-minded people and have the support of everyone.
Try to be optimistic; in the end, things will always go well. Best of luck.

I am Dhruv Rathi, a 3rd-year undergraduate student from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. I am from Durgapur, West Bengal. I was the Tech Head at the Student Welfare Group and General Secretary Technology of LLR Hall for the academic session 2022–23. I have an interest in problem-solving and development. I am currently doing my summer internship at Cisco Systems in the software developer profile.
2) How did you get into Cisco? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process for Cisco Systems consisted of one online test and 3 rounds of interviews.
The online test consisted of 2 sections:
i) DSA questions
ii) MCQs related to computer science fundamentals, which included OOPS, OS, and computer networks mainly.
I was able to solve the DSA questions but found the MCQ part a bit difficult as I had not prepared for OS and computer networks at that time. Still, I was shortlisted for the interviews.
One night before the interviews, I searched for what type of questions Cisco asks in their interviews and found that they do focus on computer networks and OS. As I did not have much time, I went through some GFG blogs on TCP/IP and OSI models.
The interviews were scheduled through Cisco Webex.
The first interview was a technical one, and it lasted for around 45 minutes. In this interview I was asked some questions related to pointers in C. Then I was also asked one DSA question. The interviewer was very inclined to ask questions about OS and computer networks. So in cases like this, if you have not prepared the topic thoroughly, you should try to dodge the question by saying it was not in your coursework and try to direct the interview to the topics that you have prepared well. I did the same, but in this case, the interviewer was very strong-willed to know whatever I knew about CN. So, I told him whatever I could recollect from the blogs I read.
The 2nd round of interviews was technical + situation-based or managerial questions. This was also around 30 minutes.
There was a question in this interview where I was asked, “If there is a program for an elevator, then what are the test cases we should give to check the program, and what can be the edge cases?”
I was also asked questions related to the projects and internships on my CV.
The last interview was an HR round, which lasted for 7 minutes.
It started with my introduction, in which I also briefly included my internships and projects.
Then I was asked questions about what Cisco does and why I wanted to join it. In questions like this, you should try to impress the interviewer by saying how the company impacts the world.
After that, he asked about my location preferences, and the interview concluded.
For the online test rounds:
Prepare DSA thoroughly (this is common for all software companies). I would also like to add that give as many coding competitions as possible. This would help you solve the questions fast in the coding rounds of companies.
Along with that, prepare topics like OOPS, as it is also asked in the coding tests of some companies. Specifically for Cisco, you can try to cover computer networks also through blogs of GFG and interviewbit.
For the technical interviews, you can practice saying your logic along with coding the problem. Some companies have their coding platforms where they will tell you to code and then check for test cases. For others, they can tell you to code on google docs or paper (in the case of offline interviews). One can practice for these with their friends. Also, try to give some mock interviews before the CDC interviews start.
One piece of advice from my side is that for whichever company you are shortlisted for interviews, search the net to see what questions or topics the company focuses on in interviews and prepare accordingly.
For HR rounds:
There are some fixed sets of questions that are asked by HR, and you should have an answer prepared for them beforehand. Many times, at the end of the interview, the interviewer might ask if you have any questions for him/her. So I would suggest preparing some questions for them as well. You can find the answers to these things online.
As I mentioned earlier, I had not prepared the OS and computer networks, so that was a disadvantage for me. The thing I liked about Cisco Systems was that they took all three rounds of interviews for everyone who was shortlisted and then selected on the basis of the aggregate of the three rounds. As my 2nd and 3rd rounds went well, I was finally selected.
In CDC, it is very important that no matter how good/bad your previous interview went, it should not reflect on the next interview. On some days, you can have multiple interviews with different companies, and this becomes very important during that time. It can happen that you felt the interview went very well, but you are still not selected. So, you should be mentally prepared for situations like this. In situations like this, it will be good to talk with your seniors, as they must have gone through similar situations and can help you with your problems.
Anyone who is aiming for the software profile should apply to Cisco Systems.
It is important that you focus on one profile and prepare for it thoroughly. There will be many distractions in your peer group, but you should be clear on what you should be doing.
You should never hesitate to talk to or take advice from any senior, but again, remember that even if you take advice from many people, the final decision on what should be done is yours. So prepare smartly, and in the end, everything will be sorted!
For software roles, the most important part of the CV is the projects and internship section. So expect to get questions related to your projects. Prepare them properly, and you should be able to defend whatever you write in your CV.

Hey everyone! I’m Gaurav Madkaikar, a final-year dual degree student from the Computer Science and Engineering Department. I received an opportunity to intern at Cisco via the CDC Internship Drive held last year, in 2022.
The selection procedure included an online screening test followed by three interview rounds– two technical rounds and an HR round.
Online test:
The test consisted of roughly 40 MCQs based on various CS concepts like OOPs, operating systems, computer networks and two coding questions. There was no negative marking for the MCQs. Both coding questions were based on graphs, with the first being an implementation of Floyd Warshall and the second having a DP-based solution. I solved the first one entirely and the second one partially and was shortlisted for the interviews.
Round 1: After a brief introduction, the interviewer gave me a standard sliding window question which I explained and coded quickly. He then asked me multiple questions on OOPs– virtual functions, copy constructors, and singletons, to name a few. Given that I had mentioned OS and CN in my course curriculum, he went on to ask a lot of questions about these topics. Since I had already covered these topics in detail in my sixth semester, I was in a good position to answer all of them. He ended with an implementation question based on binary trees. The interview extended to an hour, and I was quickly called in for the second round.
Round 2: The interviewer was a senior manager who asked me to share any previous project experiences and any challenges I faced. We then had a detailed discussion about the projects mentioned in my CV. The interview ended with me asking some questions about his experience in the company.
HR Round: This was a very short round of roughly 10–15 minutes. He was pretty chill and enquired about my interactions in the previous rounds, following up with some standard HR questions like, why do you want to join Cisco, where I see myself in 5 years’ time. The round ended with a discussion about the stipend and my preference for the work location.
In general, you need to be thorough with your DSA problem solving skills for any software related position. Keep reading about the various algorithms through articles on geeksforgeeks and cp-algorithms.com (specially for graphs). Practicing them regularly via leetcode/interviewbit would help. I, personally, covered certain bookmarked questions on leetcode and focussed on solving interviewbit completely. I also gave contests conducted by Grimoire of Code(GOC), which helped me get a feel of what the CDC tests would look like. Although I didn’t focus much on CP, I did have friends who gave contests on CF regularly, but I would recommend it only after you have covered considerable ground.
Apart from DSA, having knowledge of CS topics like OOPs/OS/DBMS/CN (descending order of importance) is always a bonus, especially OOPs is a must. These topics can be looked upon from learncpp.com (OOPs), geeksforgeeks and the corresponding course slides from the CS department. Make sure to check out previous interview experiences, the type of questions asked and some basic general knowledge corresponding to the company you’d be interviewed for.
What difficulties did you face while preparing for this company/profile? How did you overcome this problem?
From my personal experience, I would suggest everyone not be overwhelmed with the amount of resources available for preparation. Choose your resources at the start and stick with them until completion before moving on to something else. Put a heavy focus on improving DSA, as it is the most important factor in getting interview shortlists. Other topics (like OOPs, OS) can be easily revised in the weeks closer to the tests/interviews. Focus on solving questions rather than just reading theory/code. In my case, I noted down those concepts/problems which were non-trivial and revised them at the end. Specifically, for this company, I expected questions from networks and OS and thus revised it the day before. Keeping contact with friends and family will surely help in calming down the stress levels as the tests approach.
Anyone who is interested in problem-solving, enjoys programming and is keen on developing software whilst aspiring for the best work-life balance can apply to Cisco. Any specific advice you wantto give to the junta sitting for internships this year The CDC phase will be challenging, competitive yet fun in its own manner. Try to target one or two profiles and prepare accordingly instead of applying to all. The earlier you start your preparation, the better it is. Get insights from seniors/friends who have gone through the process and prepare a resume that truly reflects your skills. DSA is the most important factor in getting interview shortlists, so put your maximum time and effort into mastering it. Try to give mock interviews in parallel so that you get used to the formal setting.
During interviews, be confident and let your interviewer know about your thought process. Start with brute force and then proceed towards the optimal one. If you are stuck at any point, ask the interviewer for clarification and explain your current approach. Interviews can get really tiring, so make sure you sleep well and are hydrated throughout. Handling rejections is as important as any skill in your resume, so don’t be disheartened and hope to give your best for the next opportunity. Believe in yourself, and the good days aren’t far ahead!
What are some ofthe major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make)
Having good projects or previous internships on your CV help in initiating discussions around programming with your interviewer. They also indicate your ability to learn and develop on the go. You can create your own projects and/or collaborate with your friends and build projects over a common course or an idea. Highlight the most important features of your project and write them down as full statements. Try to fill out your CV as much as possible with the relevant information. Showcasing your performance in competitive programming, competitions will certainly stand out. While mentioning a POR for the software profile is not that important, it can help in giving your CV an all-around perspective. Refrain from mentioning anything you are not confident about, prepare your CV thoroughly and be ready to be grilled on anything mentioned.

Hi everyone, I am Rhea Vigil Alapatt, a third-year undergraduate student from the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course. I am a boarder of Sarojini Naidu Indira Gandhi Hall of Residence. I am currently interning at Deutsche Bank.
2) How did you get into DB? What was the selection procedure?
First of all, there’s the preliminary round which is situation based. In this round, various realistic scenarios of working at an office are introduced, and a choice has to be made between many options available to you. After clearing this, there is an interview round that differs from person to person.
There is no compulsion for finance but it acts as a brownie point. Understanding Financial Markets is a Coursera course that can help you learn more about finance. You’d be able to check out the CFA documentation as well. In your interview, you should be informed of current macroeconomic conditions in India, the United States as well as some additional countries.
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile ? How did you overcome this problem?
The profile alone does not have a large number of employment opportunities, so this is the main challenge. Apart from that, financing is a very broad subject so it’s pretty hard to understand what kind of skill you want in the first place and also defend yourself with your knowledge.
DB looks for just a slight inclination towards finance. Basic knowledge of financial matters, even if it’s not deep, is all they need. They’re not expecting much out of the college students, they expect them to learn first.
It’s a fairly randomly drawn process to get an internship. You shouldn’t give up hope, and you should try to do your best.
DB takes a holistic approach while recruiting.
So if you’ve done anything other than the curriculum, this would be an added advantage.

I am Jothi Prakash, pursuing my dual degree in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering with my specialization in Vision and Intelligent Systems.
I got into DE Shaw through the CDC internship process that happens at the beginning of 4th year for dual and at the beginning of 3rd year for Btech students.
DE Shaw consisted of 3 questions where each question was supposed to solved within the time limit provided and you could not carry forward the time from one question to the another. The questions were of moderate difficulty with the problems ranging between 1400 to 1700 rating on codeforces. The test included mostly adhoc, greedy and DP questions. People who solved all the 3 questions were only considered for the interviews.
Preparation for DE Shaw is similar to all the SDE companies that come on Day 1 / 2 on the campus. I mostly prepared using Codeforces and Codechef website, but I also recommend people to look at the CSES problem set as well as the Atcoder educational DP contest. Giving regular contests and up solving them after the contest does most of the preparation for the coding tests. Coming to proficiency in CP, I would say you should be someone who is able to solve ~1800 rated problems on Codeforces with minor help if you are targeting Day 1 companies.
Apart from CP you also need to have a good command over OOPS concepts as they are frequently asked during the interviews of companies. I mostly prepared for OOPs by reading blogs on GFG and also reading interview experience articles on GFG. Sometimes companies also tend to ask questions from OS, and therefore, I had prepared for OS as well, and it came in handy at DE Shaw as they asked a lot of OS in my interviews. But I would say if you are short on time you can skip the OS bit as it is not that important.
The biggest problem that I, along with probably everyone that did CP faced was rating stagnation, where you continuously give contests and practice problems, but your rating does not improve or even worse, sometimes degrades. It is a very disheartening situation to be in, but you must realize that results and efforts don’t follow a linear curve. In the beginning, you might not see any results, but all of a sudden, you might see all the results, and this is something you must believe in.
You must constantly back yourself up and keep your morale high, as in the end not giving up will make all the difference. I know it’s easier said than done, but I guess that’s the challenge.
Anyone who is interested in the field of software engineering, machine learning, or quant can apply for this job as there are profiles in DE Shaw that cater to these skill sets.
The entire CDC internship process is a stressful time and many times you will feel like you have done nothing compared to others, but just have faith in your preparation. Remember that it is just a 2 months internship in your probably 25+ years of career ahead so it’s not the end of the world if you don’t get it. Also, make sure to have a good friend circle to practice together and conduct mock interviews with each other.
Remember that luck is an important factor and sometimes you just can’t help it, so don’t necessarily think that not getting a Day 1 or Day 2 captures your capability. There are plenty of opportunities outside and believe in yourself and your abilities
You can mention some software / ML related projects that you have completed, this becomes even more important in certain companies that purely do CV shortlisting for the interviews. The use of proper formatting and grammatical statements such as action words, etc. in a CV is very important. I would ask you to go through some reference CVs of seniors or on the Internet to get an idea of what needs to be done.
Particularly for SDE companies, PORs don’t matter so if you are targeting these roles I would say focusing your time on off-campus internships or projects is the way to go.
Last but not least CGPA matters and so don’t screw it up in any case, try to keep it as high as possible.

Hey everyone!
I am Debabrata Bhakat, a final-year student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering enrolled in its dual degree program. I received an internship offer from DSP Asset Managers as a Quantitative Investments and Analyst.
2) How did you get into DSP? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process was resume based, followed by a Technical interview. The entire technical round went for about 40 mins. It started by asking me what DSP does and what an AMC (asset management company) does. Next, they selected an internship experience from my resume, which I had done at a FinTech startup. They told me to go through and explain the entire process of the work I had done during that internship. I explained everything in about 10 mins.
During the interview, I faced tough questions about my methods and models. The interviewers wanted to know if there were better ways to approach the work I had done. They thoroughly examined my techniques and challenged me to consider alternative approaches that could potentially yield even better results.
They also asked me to explain a few basic ML algorithms from scratch, which is easy if you have done any course online or taken an MLFA course.
My advice for students preparing for DSP (or any quant/financial analyst role in general) is to be thorough with your resume. Having relevant internship experience/projects helps a lot in these profiles.
Be ready with all the basic ML algorithms in case they ask to implement it from scratch. For this, you can follow any online resource like Andrew Ng on Coursera or Krish Naik’s tutorials.
To excel in the aptitude section, reviewing fundamental concepts in probability and statistics is advisable. Additionally, practising problem sets from reputable sources like Brainstellar and the book “Heard on the Street” can significantly enhance your preparation.
Also, be prepared with DSA, as they sometimes ask for it in the interviews. InterviewBit is a good platform to go through. Generally, the questions asked here are easier than the ones for software roles.
During my interview preparation phase, time management became crucial due to my simultaneous involvement in an internship. Balancing a full-time internship from 9 to 6 left me with limited energy and little time to dedicate to interview preparation. Considering my priorities and the importance of thorough preparation, I left the internship to focus fully on CDC preparations. However, it may be a different case for someone else.
Anyone interested in finance and analytics can apply for this job. The project I am working on is making financial models and algorithms which help decide when/which stocks to buy/sell. If this kind of work interests you, then you can surely apply for it.
You should start your preparations at least three months before the process. Create a study group with like-minded friends targeting similar profiles to stay on track and meet deadlines. Practice mock interviews with group members or seniors to refine your skills. You can stay motivated together, share resources, and provide valuable feedback to ensure success.
Make your CV well before the deadline and have it reviewed by seniors and friends. In case of any doubts, never feel afraid to consult your seniors.
Be well-versed with your introduction and some commonly asked questions. Read a bit about the company before the interview and talk to seniors who are placed there to know about the hiring process of some specific companies.
On the day of your interview, be ready well before the time to avoid last-minute panic. Be confident, and calm, and keep yourself well-hydrated throughout the day.
Finally, embrace rejection as part of the process. Stay determined, trust the journey, and never lose hope. Success awaits. Best of luck!
7)What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
Highlight any relevant internships/projects you have done that shows that you have worked on real-world projects and can work in a team. Also, mention any competitions which you have won. Whatever you put in your resume, make sure that you can explain it well.

As a final year dual degree student from the department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT KGP, I have always been passionate about software development and problem-solving. Therefore, I was thrilled to learn about the SWE intern role at Glean, a growing company that offers many new challenges in the field of software development. In this blog, I will share my experience of getting selected for the SWE intern role at Glean and provide some tips for aspiring students who are looking for internships in this field.
How did I get into Glean? What was the selection procedure?
I got an internship at Glean through an on-campus drive. They were one of the Day-1 companies, and the selection process involved a CV shortlisting followed by two technical interview rounds. The interviews mainly focused on testing my problem-solving skills and involved questions about data structures and algorithms.
How did I prepare for the interviews?
To prepare for the interviews, I focused on improving my problem-solving skills by practicing on Interview Bit and LeetCode. However, I was not aware of the interview pattern for the SWE intern role at Glean, so I started watching mock interviews of Google, Meta, and other companies to learn how to structure my answers and handle follow-up questions.
What difficulties did I face while preparing, and how did I overcome them?
One of the difficulties I faced while preparing for this profile was the lack of knowledge about the interview pattern. However, by watching mock interviews, I was able to overcome this problem and gain a better understanding of what to expect in the interviews.
In my opinion, students who are passionate about solving real-world problems through software development and have strong problem-solving skills would be ideal candidates for the SWE intern role at Glean. As a growing company that has built its first iteration of the product, Glean offers many new challenges, such as scalability, efficiency, and harnessing large language models (LLMs) to solve enterprise-level problems. Therefore, individuals who enjoy solving complex problems and want to gain experience in a fast-paced startup environment would be an ideal fit for this role.
If you are starting from scratch, I would strongly recommend mastering the Standard Template Library (STL), watching videos, and practicing on Interview Bit and LeetCode. I would suggest avoiding contests for now and focusing on solving more questions on these websites. Once you have attained adequate knowledge, you will be in a good position for interviews. In the meantime, you should also brush up on your Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs), Operating Systems (OS), and Networks courses.
While targeting the SWE intern profile at Glean, it is better to have a good full-stack project in your CV as it allows interviewers to ask many theoretical questions. For example, they can ask about the ACID properties of databases, the four pillars of OOPs, or why you used Flask instead of Django or MySQL instead of MongoDB. It is advisable to give sufficient time and importance to the projects that you mention on your CV. Therefore, I would suggest highlighting any relevant projects or experiences you have had in the software development domain and clearly mentioning the technologies and tools you have used. Additionally, it would be beneficial to mention any relevant coursework or certifications you have completed in the field of computer science.
In conclusion, I would like to wish all aspiring students the best of luck in their pursuit of internships and careers in the field of software development. I would like to thank my parents, God, and the Career Development Cell (CDC) for the internship that I got.

Hello, I am Harsh Sukheja, a 4th year dual degree student from the department of E&ECE. In this blog, I am going to share my journey of how I got an internship in Goldman Sachs and their selection procedure.
How did you secure an internship at Goldman Sachs? How did you prepare for the same?
My journey started during the summer of 2021, right after the end of the 4th semester. It was a difficult time due to the pandemic, and we had very little to do. As per the advice of my seniors, I started doing CP (Competitive Programming). I was also doing two online internships simultaneously, which were unpaid, so I didn’t feel much pressure. However, I would not recommend doing two paid internships in parallel.
My main focus was on CP, although I wasn’t good at it. As soon as the 5th semester started, I stopped doing CP. I resumed it during the December break but left it again when the 6th semester started. I had secured a Mitacs internship for the summers of 2022, which was one of my biggest achievements and challenges. At that time, I didn’t want to pursue research and was worried about my preparation for the CDC internship. However, I took the offer for Mitacs for two reasons: the project was on statistics, which would boost my CV, and who doesn’t want a foreign trip?
Luckily, my Mitacs project was not overloaded, and with the CDC internship in mind, I allocated an hour daily for my CDC preparation in May and June. I started ramping up those minutes in July. I cut my Mitacs internship one week short because the CDC internship test started earlier than expected, but I still missed the tests of a few companies, including Microsoft software, while I was on the flight.
My preparation was for Quant and Data profiles, and I was targeting Goldman Sachs the whole time because my CG was 8.98 at that time, so HFTs were out of scope.
What was the selection procedure like?
On Day 1, I got shortlisted for GS only, so I was laser-focused for the interview. They took two rounds of interviews. In the first round, they asked me to give my introduction, and in the intro only, I made it clear that I wanted to go on the quant side (not telling them explicitly but giving hints like I like betting, guessing, probability, etc.). Then, they asked me questions based on my Mitacs project, for which I was well-prepared as I had just recently finished it.
Then some basic probability questions and 1 CP question in each round. Few of which I remember,
(i) Fair coin, prob of heads, prob of 3 heads, unfair coin: make a fair game.
(ii) ant on cube can go to vertices randomly, expected time to reach diagonally opposite corner
(iii) ant inside/on cube
(iv) Time complexity of sieve, how its log of log
(v) modified question on binary search
(vi) prob of 3 points being in a semicircle
Overall, my interview felt satisfactory to me and turned out satisfactory for them as well.
If you have an interest in Probability/ Combinatorics/ Statistics, you should apply for the Quant role in GS.
Any specific advice for aspirants applying for internships this year?
Here is some advice that is limited to the Quant role only:
(i) STAT 110 is a super helpful course. I watched till lec 20 and did their exercises (important) as well.
(ii) Heard on the street, Brainstellar, 50 challenging problems of Probability (attempt in this order preferably). Repeat the sequence again.
(iii) Easy/ moderate questions on the interview bit is compulsory. Can/ Can’t attempt hard based on time available/ skill level.
(iv) In the coursework section of CV, highlight probability and data science courses.
(v) Having a project in statistics/ modeling/ probability is a huge boost.
Most importantly, be calm during the whole process. I know it’s easy to say and hard to do from my experience. But I had some awesome friends around to help me do that, and everything turned out to be well after a lot of overthinking (which you should avoid).
All the best Junta for the upcoming CDC internship drive. Machake!

Hi Everyone! I am Himadri Pandya, a 4th-year undergraduate student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I am a boarder of Sarojini Naidu/Indira Gandhi Hall of residence. I sat for the CDC Internship drive last year and have joined Goldman Sachs as a Summer Analyst for the summer of 2023.
2) How did you get into GS? What was the selection procedure?
It’s fair to say that Goldman Sachs was my highest preferred company throughout my CDC preparation, after the shortlists and during the interviews. I focused my preparation around GS all throughout the summers and started solely preparing for the interviews once I was certain that I had performed well in the test and was expecting to get shortlisted for the interviews.
The selection procedure consisted of:
a. Test (for shortlisting): The test had 4 sections which were timed separately:
b. Coding Section: This section had two medium to hard coding questions to be attempted in C++
c. Probability, Statistics and Puzzles: This section had 25 questions on probability and statistics including a few easy puzzles
d. Essay Question: This section was for language fluency in which we had to write a short paragraph on a given topic
e. Computer Architecture: This section had around 20 questions on core CS topics including operating systems and algorithms
f. Personal Interviews: I had two rounds of technical interviews (some people had three rounds) on Zoom where I was asked logic-based puzzles and questions on probability and statistics. They asked me the logic I would use to implement certain coding questions but I wasn’t asked to explicitly code anything. It started off with easy questions and progressed towards more difficult questions. I was called to a meet after these two rounds to confirm the offer.
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/ Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
The difficulties that I faced were primarily centered around the time that I was able to give to the preparation because of my extra-curricular involvements in KGP and the fact that I started my preparation a bit later than others. You shouldn’t face any of these problems for this particular role if you’ve been consistent and disciplined throughout your preparation
Other than that, I’d suggest you contact seniors who have prepared for similar roles that you are interested in and get insights from them. Being connected will give you a more channeled approach and will also be a constant mental support when you need it.
The selection procedure revolves around problem solving abilities so folks with a natural knack for coding and logic-based puzzles have a slight edge in the entire process. However, one can conveniently prepare for all the sections by planning out their preparation well and following the deadlines they set for themselves. The internship majorly involves coding so if you’re someone who hates programming then this possibly isn’t the best option out there.
Regardless, it’s a sought-after day 1 role and a great option for those opting for tech profiles.
In general for tech roles, coding is very important and should ideally take up at least 80% of your prep time. It is very important to plan how much time you will be devoting to each question during the tests. Try to gauge if you will be able to solve the question immediately after reading it or if you’ll have to go for a partial solution and thus a partial score.
Your performance in the test is an essential data point both before and during your interview and has a role on how they perceive you throughout given the limited information they are given. So it is preferable to try to perform exceedingly well in the tests to have a good pre-impression on the interviewer. In fact, it is practically improbable to interview for more than two companies on a given day so your focus should not be to get multiple shortlists but to get preferable shortlists in the companies you’re genuinely interested in. It is better to perform “very well” in a few tests and disastrously in the others and getting 2 shortlists than performing “decently” in multiple companies and getting multiple inconvertible shortlists.
As for the interviews, be very clear about your preferences in case you have multiple shortlists. By the end of the tests you should be able to get a fair idea of whether or not you have a chance of getting shortlisted for a given company. Once you’re ready with your preferences your sole focus should be to prepare for interviews and contact as many seniors as possible to understand what type of questions are asked and be certain about evaluations metrics for various companies. For example, I was shortlisted to interview for LEK but was fairly certain about getting a shortlist at GS and since I was clear about my preferences I devoted all my time to prepare for GS while skipping any and all case prep.
Other than that, once you are certain about a shortlist in a few of your highly preferred companies you can consider skipping a few tests to prepare for the interviews of your preferred companies. It can be somewhat categorized as a gamble but if done correctly it can give you a very sharp edge during interview preparation since you’ll have to draw a line for preferences at some point anyway. Better sooner, than later.

Hello, my name is Vidushi Agarwal. I am a pre-final year undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. I am interning at Goldman Sachs as a Summer Analyst in the Asset and Wealth Management division.
2) How did you get into Goldman Sachs? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process consisted of one online round and two (for some it was three) interview rounds.
The online round consisted of 4 sections each with a specified time limit.
The first round of interview started with some CV grilling. As i was being interviewed for software profile the interviewer was interested in my projects and asked to explain one too. Afterwards he moved on to some basic linked list implementation questions where he even asked me to code it. The interview was quite interactive and engaging, and after it concluded, I was called back for the next round.
The second round started with ad-hoc questions, which I was expected to code on the spot. The interviewer then proceeded to add constraints to the problem, challenging my approach to the problem-solving process. The interviewer also posed a few puzzles, which I solved through brainstorming and careful analysis.
To excel in coding interviews, the first step is to master basic data structures and algorithms. Once you have a firm grasp of the fundamentals, you can strengthen your problem-solving skills and develop a fast thinking to crack the coding questions in the online test. I recommend practicing questions from popular platforms like GeeksforGeeks, LeetCode, and CSES. You can even go for questions module-wise on Algozenith too.
After gaining proficiency in standard DSA questions, you can test your skills by participating in coding competitions on platforms like CodeChef and Codeforces.
Also I would strongly recommend participating in various coding competitions, as this can have a positive impact on your CV. Additionally, it is crucial to practice dynamic programming, graphs, and trees extensively. For DP problems, I suggest tackling the hard and medium level challenges on LeetCode, while for graph problems, I found the CSES problem set to be quite helpful.
As you approach the last two months of your preparation, I strongly recommend using InterviewBit, as their problem set covers all the concepts you need to know and are likely to encounter in coding interviews( i did get one). During this time, you should also focus on solving puzzles and probability questions. For puzzles, I suggest checking out resources like “Heard on the Street” and GeeksforGeeks. For probability, you can try the book “50 Challenging Problems in Probability.”
Finally, for CS core concepts like DBMS, OOPS, and networks, I suggest setting aside the last 2–3 weeks of your preparation to review and gain a rough understanding of these topics. You can refer to short notes on websites like AlgoZenith or GeeksforGeeks to help you quickly review and reinforce these concepts.
An important pointer: Don’t get overwhelmed by all the different learning resources out there. Try to stick to one or two that really work for you, so you don’t end up spending too much time wading through a ton of different stuff.
One of the biggest challenges I faced during my CDC preparation was the daunting amount of material to cover in a limited amount of time. To combat this, I found it helpful to team up with a small group of 2 or 3 peers. By setting targets and discussing problems together, we were able to make steady progress while also maintaining our mental well-being. I mean, let’s face it, CDC prep can be pretty exhausting, so it’s nice to have some support along the way. This approach allowed us to tackle difficult topics more efficiently and effectively.
Anyone who is interested in problem-solving and software development can apply for the software profile.
7)What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?)

Hey everyone! My name is Vishal Kumar, and I am currently a 4th-year undergraduate student pursuing a dual degree in Mining Engineering. I am from Muzaffarpur,Bihar. This summer, I will be interning at Goldman Sachs.
2. How did you secure an internship at Goldman Sachs? What was the selection procedure like?
Goldman Sachs offers software and quant intern roles on our campus, open to students from all departments with no CGPA cutoff. The selection procedure consisted of two stages:
First, there was an online test conducted on the Hackerrank platform a week before the interview. It comprised four sections:
Section 1) Two Coding Questions:
Participants had to solve two coding questions in 30 minutes. The first question involved rearranging a string, ranging from easy to medium difficulty. The second question focused on matrices and graphs, presenting a medium to hard level challenge. Due to the time constraint, I was only able to completely solve the first question, while managing to pass some basic test cases for the second.
Section 2) English Writing Skills:
Candidates were required to write short answers to two questions within a total of 15 minutes. The questions were:
What did you learn in your recent project?
How would you handle a situation where a team member is unable to complete their task, impacting your own performance?
Section 3) CS Fundamentals:
This section included around 10 multiple-choice questions on topics like Object-Oriented Programming, Operating Systems, and Database Management Systems. Ample time was provided for this segment.
Section 4) Quantitative Aptitude:
This section consisted of approximately 20 questions to be answered within 45 minutes. Although a few questions posed some challenges, a solid grasp of probability and basic logical ability was sufficient to navigate through this section.
Interview Day:
Round 1:
The round commenced with introductions, followed by the interviewer inquiring about a project from my CV. I provided a satisfactory response, after which I was presented with a puzzle involving 100 tigers and 1 sheep on an island. Although I had come across the puzzle before, I took my time, asked clarifying questions, and answered accordingly. Next, I was given a coding question through a Hackerrank ID and asked to share my screen. The question involved converting a fraction into a decimal, which was of medium difficulty on the LeetCode scale. I followed an almost correct approach throughout the code, even performing a dry run. This round lasted for 40 minutes.
Round 2:
Following the introduction, I was immediately presented with coding questions. The interviewer asked around 4 to 5 questions and assessed my approach to each. I began with a brute-force solution and optimized them further. Some questions I tackled independently, while for one question, the interviewer provided hints that helped me arrive at the solution. Although I did not need to write code for any of the questions, the interviewer seemed satisfied with my approach in all cases. The questions covered topics such as:
The final question involved finding the square root of a given number between 0 and 10⁹. I explained the logic of using binary search and proceeded to write the code. I wrote the code for 1 to 10⁹ and then used reverse logic for 0 to 1, which could be further optimized. Nevertheless, the interviewer appeared happy and satisfied. Towards the end, there were also questions regarding the company, my role, and growth opportunities. This round lasted for 45 minutes.
For most students selected from our campus, there was no HR round this time. However, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with basic HR questions.
3. How should one prepare for the Goldman Sachs selection process?
To prepare for the online test, continue practicing Competitive Programming (CP) until the end. In the month leading up to the tests, shift your focus to platforms like LeetCode and InterviewBit to enhance your grasp of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) questions.
If you lack confidence in your writing skills, practice writing concise answers to the questions mentioned earlier.
For the interviews, concentrate on strengthening your DSA knowledge and reviewing the fundamentals of Object-Oriented Programming. Additionally, explore resources like BrainStellar and YouTube for commonly asked probability and puzzle questions, as these are often covered in the initial round. During interviews, expect in-depth discussions on your CV, so ensure you have a thorough understanding of its contents. Utilize this opportunity to showcase your achievements and experiences.
4. What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome them?
Stuck at similar rating levels:
At some point, individuals engaged in Competitive Programming may find themselves plateauing at a certain rating level. It is crucial to persist through this phase by solving a variety of problems and maintaining patience. Everyone faces this challenge, and only those who persevere ultimately succeed.
Overwhelming amount of preparation:
Some students pursuing B.Tech may feel they have less time compared to those in dual degree programs, resulting in a perception of having to cover a lot of ground. To overcome this, form a peer group and engage in discussions revolving around potential coding questions. This not only exposes you to different perspectives but also enables you to articulate your own thoughts effectively.
5. Who should ideally apply for this job?
In my opinion, individuals with even a slight interest in finance or a desire to explore the field should definitely consider applying. Based on your performance in tests and interviews, you may be assigned roles related to finance or software development.
6. Any specific advice for aspirants applying for internships this year?
In the previous year (2022–23), the entire process was conducted online. However, this year there is a possibility of the process returning to an offline format, similar to pre-COVID times. It is crucial to carefully read the instructions provided before starting any tests, as some sections may allow switching between them, providing an advantage. Practice numerous mock interviews, and articulate your thoughts and ideas confidently to the interviewer. Remember, if you began your preparation late and are unable to secure a good company through the CDC, it does not imply that you are less competent than those who performed well. Treat it as a valuable learning experience that will contribute to your personal growth. Additionally, prioritize the development of an impressive CV, as it can significantly distinguish you from other candidates.
7. What are some major points you believe should be mentioned in your CV when targeting this profile? (Any specific suggestions?)
All the best for the upcoming internship season! Stay positive, stay motivated and be patient throughout the process.

Hello everyone! I’m Rashi Patil, a third-year undergraduate student from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course. I am a Boarder of SN/IG Hall of Residence. I got an internship offer from Google through the on-campus CDC drive last year (2022–23).
Google opens only for Students with Majors in Circuital departments (CS, ECE, EE, MnC, and IM) “and/or” Minors in Circuital departments “and/or” Micro specializations in Circuital courses. The selection process involved one coding round followed by two technical interview rounds. The coding test was conducted on the HackerEarth platform in which two questions were given to solve in 60 mins. Later, based on your score on the test and your CV, shortlisted people are allotted some panels for interviews.
Round-1 (45 min): The interview started with an introduction. After this, I was given a medium-level 2-pointer problem. I quickly explained my logic and then jumped to the implementation. After this, the interviewer asked me a follow-up question about a K-pointer scenario. I went on to extend my 2-pointer solution to a k-pointer problem while discussing it with the interviewer and came up with a solution. Although, due to time constraints, I couldn’t implement the solution completely, the interviewer seemed happy and satisfied with my logic.
About 15 min later, I got an invitation-mail for the second round of interviews scheduled for half an hour later.
Round-2 (45 min): The interview started with an introduction. After this, I was given a medium-level Dynamic Programming problem. I quickly explained my logic and then jumped to the implementation. The interviewer went on to ask a few tricky questions related to the STLs I was using in my implementation. After completing the implementation, the interviewer asked me a follow-up question, to which we discussed a few approaches and came up with a greedy solution. He didn’t ask me to code it.
A thorough understanding of algorithms and data structures is required for software engineering-based profiles. Once the basics of DSA are clear, there are many sources to practice problem-solving. If you are a beginner, then refer to Leetcode and InterviewBit. Once you feel confident in standard DSA, you can participate in competitive programming contests on codeforces to boost your problem-solving ability.
For Google, much importance is given to the candidate’s resume, especially past Kickstart/Codejam performances. So, make sure to participate in these contests.
CS core concepts like OOPS, DBMS, OS, etc., are also recommended if you are aiming for Day-1 or Day-2 companies. If you have a rough idea about them, you can just keep these for the end and prepare them two weeks before the interviews. Although Google doesn’t ask these in any round but some companies do.
Too much to prepare in less time, I overcame this problem by carefully designing my study plan for the entire summer vacation before CDC. Also, there were times when I felt stuck and demotivated; maintaining consistency at such times was very challenging. In fact, I used to read such blogs of students who got internships through the CDC to keep myself motivated. I didn’t feel very confident in the dynamic programming-related problems. So, to overcome this, I moved to leetcode and solved enough questions until I felt confident in it.
This profile is recommended for anyone who is good at problem-solving and enjoys coding and software development. There is a lot of scope for learning new technologies and skills during the internship.
Start preparing a bit early on, and be consistent throughout your preparation journey. Try to solve as many problems as you can while understanding the logic deeply to the roots of every problem. Give more contests on codeforces/CodeChef and get a hold of CP. The journey will be challenging, fun, and sometimes stressful. There will be times when you will feel demotivated. Don’t give up, and keep pushing forward. Make a group and practice; this will help with motivation. Plan your journey well so that you can utilize your time to the fullest. Keep revising the concepts you study.
Try to stay confident and happy in the interviews. The interviewer mainly wants to judge how well you think and approach a problem. It is very important that while thinking about the problem’s solution, you think out loud.
Keep talking with the interviewer about your approach so that even if you go wrong, he can give you a hint to get you back on track.
Projects and internships indicate hands-on experience, which interviewers generally take good note of. Projects can be anything from self-projects to course projects. Try to participate in as many programming contests as possible and write those ranks/ratings that will be useful during shortlisting. PoRs aren’t really required for this profile.
Be honest with what you represent in your CV. Be ready to be grilled upon anything you write on the CV.

Hello everyone, I am Shivansh Shukla, a 3rd year undergraduate from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, enrolled in its B.Tech course. I will be interning at Graviton Research Capital in the summer of 2023.
How did you get into Graviton? What was the selection procedure?
I got into Graviton via the CDC Internship Program. Initially there was a test on HackerEarth, consisting of 2 coding problems to be solved in 75 minutes. First one was a hard shortest path problem involving Edge Space Reduction by constructing Pseudo nodes. Second problem was easy-medium based on number theory & sieve. I submitted both problems 32 minutes before the end of the test. They shortlisted 10–12 people who solved both problems.
CP is the most important skill required to grab an internship through CDC in day 1–2 companies. The difficulty of problems in coding rounds is increasing year by year. Apart from regular contests on Codeforces, CodeChef & Atcoder, do participate in competitions like ICPC, CodeJam, Kickstart, HashCode, HackerCup, SnackDown, etc. Mentioning good ranks in these contests give a huge boost to one’s CV.
Make sure to upsolve at least one problem more than what you could solve during the contest otherwise you’re practically not making any significant progress despite the rating changes . Also, check out editorial & discuss with friends to get to know about alternate approaches for a problem.
Also, prepare for OOPS & have a thorough knowledge of C++ STL containers as many companies ask questions regarding them during interviews. Additionally for dual-degree students, CS fundamentals like OS, Networks, DBMS, etc also plays an important role during interviews.
As I was mainly targeting HFTs for which good CP ratings play a major role, the main difficulty for me was to improve my CP skills and increase my ratings on Codeforces and Codechef.
For that, I started participating in CF from my alt account [shuklaji1102] & made sure to upsolve & look at editorials as much as possible. I also started solving A2OJ div2D ladder & covered around 30 problems there. Meanwhile, I learnt Segment Tree from cp-algorithms.com and practised problems in the CF-Edu section. After this, I spent the complete month of May on DP covering Simple DP, DP on trees, DP with bitmasking, Digit DP — first watching the respective Kartik Arora’s playlist & then solving problems mentioned in various CF blogs. I also solved & highly recommend everyone to completely solve all problems of AtCoder Educational DP round — it covers almost all types of DP problems which you would be encountering at least till reaching purple in CF. After this extensive practice, DP & tree became my strongest topics and I was even able to solve 2200–2300 rated CF problems sometimes during the contests. Besides, I participated in all GOC-CDC series contests and it helped me a lot to understand the type and difficulty of questions asked in coding rounds of last year.
Anyone having deep interest in problem-solving, willing to learn how HFTs work and is ready to spend enough time on a fast paced competitive environment should apply for this company.
Don’t get demotivated if things are not going according to the way you thought. Be patient, have faith in God and keep working hard, eventually you’ll reach there! Try to be in constant touch with family members or friends who can motivate you through this journey.
Some points regarding Coding Rounds : Make sure you choose the language you want to code in at the beginning itself. Few platforms don’t allow copy-paste & your entire hard work may go waste. Also, try completing all problems as early as possible as many companies consider time of submission while shortlisting candidates. Do read the instructions very carefully and understand the policy of switching between various sections. If you can’t think of a complete solution or you’re not sure about your complete solution & running out of time, prefer submitting a brute force solution first with an aim to pass as many test cases as possible.
CV, as such, doesn’t play a crucial role for day 1–2 companies. For HFTs, it would be good if you mention ranks in various competitive programming competitions and also your ratings in platforms like Codeforces and Codechef. One of my interviewers explicitly asked me about my CP achievements towards the end of my interview. Projects and EAA do not matter much if you’re targeting HFTs.

My name is Nitin Rohit, I’m a third year undergraduate student of the department of Electrical Engineering enrolled in its Bachelor’s Program. My interest mostly inclines towards programming and embedded systems. I started coding from 11th standard and started CP from my first year.
There were a total of three rounds, which I had to clear to get an internship at honeywell. The first round was a coding round which had moderate level three questions. The second round was a technical round where they asked programming and math questions along with my CV review. And the final round was the HR round where they asked the usual questions about my further plans.
All companies which are recruiting for a software profile need a bare minimum of basic knowledge about Data structure and algorithms. So, I started learning the DSA from courses (websites and youtube videos) and once I had my basics clear, I moved to solving problems and giving contests on various platforms like cf and cc. I also had done some self projects to show the companies that I had prior knowledge on writing big codes.
I faced two major problems while preparing, first I couldn’t remember all the things which I studied and there was not any solid path to know all the stuff properly. To tackle the former problem I started writing down notes and reviewing them periodically. For the latter I watched a lot of youtube videos and came to know that we only need to focus on a few problems (and concepts) which are asked frequently, so start solving these questions more such that you have these concepts on your finger tips.
I haven’t completed my internship yet, so I can’t comment on that. But it is mostly for students who want to do software development. Honeywell being involved in multiple domains I believe, people have the freedom to choose from.
There are a lot of small, small skills which can be learnt in a short period of time which can be seen as a useful skill for the hiring companies, so try to learn them. Try to add projects which are specific to a particular domain, so that the person knows that you are progressing in a direction rather than moving randomly.
Know your CV, the first level of selection will be based on your CV. So your CV represents you, take time and get your CV reviewed from different people.

1) Brief Introduction:
My name is Parth Nanda. I am a final year undergraduate student of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering enrolled in its Btech degree course. I am a boarder of RK Hall of Residence. I was born and brought up in Jalandhar. Talking about my previous experience, I had a remote research intern at the University of Birmingham which was about a particular algorithm which was developed by the professor.
Honeywell is open to all departments. The selection procedure was similar to most of the companies Firstly, there was an online test. It had 3 questions and were okayish level questions as far as I remember. Before Honeywell, I had one interview in DE Shaw in which I was rejected after my first round. In DE Shaw, I was asked about a medium-level coding question and after that, the person was more interested in CS fundamentals I told him that I was not comfortable with them, but he still asked me them and I tried to answer my best.
For Honeywell, After the test, we had 2 interviews. The first one was technical and the second was HR. Personally, my interview was pretty chill and they literally asked me nothing in the interviews. My technical interview was for just 5 mins in which I got the question of how could you reverse a string. Probably the person taking the interview was not from a coding background. So, after that, I was asked about very basic concepts of OOPS and it was just that. But note that it wasn’t the case for everyone. Many of my friends had interview for more than half an hour.
In my case, no preparation was needed! Xd, Jokes apart so, my preparation level was very good and I was expecting a day 1 intern but all happens for good! So, for preparation, I would say that it all depends on how much time are you having. I will tell you all the possible preparation which you could consider depending on the time you are having.
2–3 Months: Focus on DSA. Try to do problems on websites like GFG, interview bit, leetcode
3–6 Months: So, it depends on you if you are having this much time. So, if you are interested in quant, you probably need to devote some(very small) time towards it. You will also need to focus on Competitive programming as it might be helpful for the coding rounds of some companies.
6–12 Months: You are having a lot of time. I will advise that you should really try to get involved in competitive programming and try to increase your ratings. It will eventually help you out at some point.
The problem which most people face is getting confused about what to prepare and where to prepare from as there are a lot of resources. I would suggest focusing on a single resource and getting a grip on the topic in general.
Anyone who is interested in a software development role should apply
My only advice is just to try your best and try to learn more and more things and don’t worry about the output that your hard work or preparation is going to have. Just be in the process, enjoy learning it and try to be your best self because you are never going to have that much time in your life again for this preparation.

My name is Tanmay Vaghale, and I am a final-year student from the Department of Chemical Engineering enrolled in its dual degree course. I got an internship offer at Honeywell for the SDE role in the CDC internship drive in 2022.
The selection procedure consisted of an online coding round followed by a technical and HR interview. This year, Honeywell had separate tests for SDE and Data profile. There were three coding questions for the SDE profile. The questions were of medium difficulty.
The first interview round started with a few basic questions like Are you familiar with AWS or Azure? Are you proficient in Java? After such questions, the interviewer asked me to explain the first project on my CV. Then they asked some questions like what was the motivation behind that project? What were the challenges you faced, and how you overcame them? The first round lasted for forty-eight minutes.
The second round was the HR round. It was a short round of about ten to fifteen minutes, and they asked the standard HR questions like what do you expect from this internship? What are your strengths/weaknesses? Etc.
I faced some problems in DSA. To tackle this problem, solving medium to hard-level questions regularly is the key. Once you know how to apply the standard techniques, you will become more confident.
Preparing the CV was also a challenging part. I spent many hours thinking about what questions could be asked on my different projects and preparing their answers. For the HR part, I referred to some online articles, which were enough to get an idea about the HR questions and prepare their answers.
Someone who is interested in coding or development should apply for this role.

Hey everyone. I am Utkarshini Dubey, a 3rd-year undergraduate student from the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, IIT Kharagpur, enrolled in its Btech 4-year course. I am about to intern at Honeywell in the summer of 2023. I offer my experience in this blog in the hope that it would be useful to someone going through the CDC process.
Applying on ERP and CV preparation: The CDC process officially began in June end when we had to start preparing our CVs. This requires a lot of time and patience. Preparing a CV in a rush is not at all recommended. Reaching out to some seniors who sat for similar profiles and getting your CV verified by them is a must. I followed the same and incorporated their advice. Including necessary keywords in your resume, highlighting points of importance such as numbers, ranks and scores in your CV, etc are some of the points to be kept in mind.
Tests: Once the CV preparation window is closed, different companies start taking their tests. I primarily sat for the tests of companies which were offering SDE or Quant roles and sometimes, for analytics roles. The tests were all conducted online on different platforms like HireVue, HackerRank, Codility,etc. Since the process is hectic with multiple tests being conducted every day (even at strange hours), I would suggest to only apply and appear for those tests in which one is ardently interested. Although mostly the tests for SDE roles consist of 2–3 Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) questions to be solved in 1–1.5 hours, some tests also have MCQ questions from core CSE topics such as DBMS, OOPS and OS. Quant Tests include problems from probability, aptitude and puzzles as well. Keeping in mind the time constraint, a thorough practice of all these topics is suggested.
There are tests that have certain behavioral questions which are subjective in nature. Since they can be similar to what is often asked in interviews, it is a good practice to keep them ready well before the tests.
As far as the test for Honeywell is concerned, it was conducted on HackerRank, and it consisted of 3 DSA questions to be solved in 1 hour. While 1 question was from ‘Graph’, the remaining questions were of logic or sorting, mostly based on the CP pattern.
Interviews: Once shortlisted, most of the companies take 2–3 rounds of interviews before final selection of the candidate. The first and foremost thing would be to prepare your introduction well; A mess-up on introduction would be the last thing one would want to do.
The next thing would be to prepare your CV well enough in depth, so that you are able to defend every possible question that the interviewer would ask. Once the introduction and CV discussion is over, the interviewer moves on to testing the coding skills. The coding questions are often based on topics like linked lists, trees, DP and graphs. Sometimes, they also include questions pertaining to searching and sorting algorithms. Practicing with mock interviews is a good way to go for overall preparation of the interview rounds.
My interview at Honeywell had 2 rounds, which were both conducted in online mode. The first was the technical round. The interviewer discussed my resume after a brief introduction of myself. I gave the interviewer an overview of all of my projects in a nutshell before being questioned in-depth about one of my development projects. Moving ahead, he asked me a few DSA questions, primarily about trees, including how to declare a tree data structure, how to traverse a tree, and the codes for the same. He continued by asking me for a puzzle. Towards the end of the interview, he asked questions about development concepts that mostly pertained to my projects. The second round which was the HR round was more of a behavioral question round. It included some of the most frequently asked questions “Why this company?” and “Why interested in this role?” among several others. Once he finished with the questions, he asked me if I had any queries. As I was ready for this, I asked him what changes I should make to myself and what advice he would want to give me. I also inquired about the projects I would be working on if I was chosen. After giving a thorough explanation, he concluded the interview. After around 30 minutes, I learned that I had been chosen.
I had prior knowledge of C (which I learnt in the first-year course PDS) and C++ (which I continued after learning C). I had attempted some CodeChef contests and was acquainted with the contest environment. Once in my fourth semester, I began studying DSA topics, starting off with some fundamental mathematical ideas before progressively going on to data structures like linked lists, trees, and graphs. By the end of the fourth semester, my CGPA was 9.31. This gave me an edge in the shortlisting process as many companies prefer a high CGPA; Some even have a minimum CG criterion for appearing in the tests. My projects included two web-development (mainly front-end) projects, a Do-It-YourSelf course project and a Work-System-Design Lab project.
May mark the onset of the main preparation phase, during which I first devised a schedule and work plan for the topics to be covered. I practiced topic-specific questions on leetcode after going over the concepts for the topics I had not yet studied and after reviewing the ones I had previously gone through. The goal was to finish all of the topics by the end of July. For DSA concepts, I referred to a YouTube playlist and the DSA course by GFG. Depending on the amount of content, I intended to give each topic a specific length of time and made an effort to finish each one by the due date. I tried to practice 9 to 10 questions on Leetcode every day. However, it was a demanding task, and I occasionally faltered.
Contests on platforms like CodeChef, CodeForces, and others assist one become accustomed with the testing environment. This enables them to manage the time pressure and do well on the actual test. I participated in a relatively small number of contests. I’d advise taking this seriously and upsolving the questions after the competitions. In addition to this, one must prepare for some fundamental CSE topics, such as OOPS, Operating systems, etc, which I did around the middle of July. GFG can be used as a resource for puzzles. There are a number of online publications, books as well as sites that one can use to practice probability and statistics, and aptitude problems.
The first and foremost issue was a lack of appropriate guidance. Since we spent our first four semesters in an online mode, it wasn’t until our fourth semester that I learned about the apt requirements and reading materials needed for the CDC process. I faced the toughest obstacle in the form of consistency while preparing in the months of May-July. Setting unrealistic goals will cause one to stray from their plan of action, which I would strongly advise against. I sometimes strayed from my objective and had to make up the missed ground in the days that were left. In the end, you must push yourself to achieve the goal you have set. During the process, you might want to give up at certain times. Thus, being in a supportive environment where your parents, friends, seniors and loved ones provide you with constant encouragement is therefore essential.
A person who enjoys working with software, develops technologies that can be applied to a variety of jobs, and has a captivating enthusiasm for finding solutions to complex real-world challenges is just the right candidate for this job. On a broader perspective, the ideal candidate for this position is someone who is eager to progress both vertically and horizontally inside an organization, that is, to sustainably return to the organization by advancing its most recent technological or commercial advancements. Some of the attributes one must have to be fervently engaged in this job include developing and contributing to something that makes a significant difference in the world of technology and inspiring others to engage in engineering with a humanitarian attitude.
During the process, you might experience frustration and feel impatient quite a few times. It’s possible that less deserving individuals receive offers prior to you. You can find yourself being shortlisted yet struggling in numerous interviews. It thus becomes imperative to stay in contact with seniors, friends and family who would provide you with constant support and motivation throughout this journey. Having said that, nothing can replace a sincere attempt. So, try to make the most of your preparation window. Failures are an inevitable aspect of life, and we have all faced them. What sets us apart from others is how we view failure. So even if the progress is gradual, we must strive to elevate ourselves every day. Prepare well, practice questions and give mock interviews. Best of luck to all.
7) Kindly attach your resume. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
It is ideal to have a decent cg of 8 or greater. Highlight all of your accomplishments and contributions to the various events or competitions. Make advantage of statistics to highlight your accomplishments, such as rankings, scores, etc. A few development projects (web or app) would strengthen your resume. It might be beneficial to take courses offered by the mathematics and computer science departments.

Hello everyone! I am Parv Jain, a fourth-year undergraduate student of the Department of Electrical Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course of Instrumentation Engineering. My professional interests lie in Data Science and Analytics including the development part and I often indulge in various extracurricular activities in my leisure time.
There are three rounds of the selection process for Honeywell. The first round is a coding test that consists of 3 questions of medium difficulty level that could be easily solved if you have been practicing DSA for a decent time (here I mean at least 2 months of consistency).
The second round is the technical interview where they test your technical knowledge mainly using interview topics like oops, pseudo-code of basic CP questions, probability and statistics, and puzzles. You can also expect CV grilling in this round as in my case I was asked only on my CV [Past projects and experiences].
The third and final round is the cultural interview which is mostly just a formality and is taken by the HR of the company. It's just to check whether you are a good fit for the company’s work environment. Before going to this round, it's better to prepare about the company a little bit [its recent projects, main domain of work, and latest company leaders and news.]
To prepare for the coding test, you need to practice Data Structures and Algorithms thoroughly to cover all topics at a medium difficulty level at least. I prepared for it from Algozenith and then practiced questions on platforms like Interview Bit and Leetcode. This would give you a good grasp of mostly all types of questions asked in these kinds of coding tests.
There are some specific topics that you need to cater to for the technical interview part. Topics like OOPS, Time Complexities, Pseudo code of basic algorithms and problems. Apart from it, you should be very thorough with your CV as there are very high chances of the interviewer starting with your past projects and if you have a good grasp on them then there you go!
You could drive the interview towards your side as happened in my case. There is no such preparation required for the last or the cultural round which is taken by the HR of the company. For that you should be familiar with the domains the company works in, its recent projects, and the latest company news.
The major problem I faced was getting acquainted with and maintaining consistency in competitive programming. I started it (sincerely) in the month of May and I had just the next 3 months to make it to a mark.
The only way I found to overcome this is to think of every question you do as a milestone and feel a sense of achievement after solving it. This way you will realize your progress day by day.
Tip: Cover theory in as less time as possible and try to practice as many questions as possible (majorly from Interview Bit)
The other problem could be seeing your friends preparing and learning at a very fast rate. Try to avoid such discussions and just focus on your preparation, and your pace of learning.
This is a Software Development Engineer role, therefore the people who have a high inclination towards development as well as coding should prefer this role. Also, the people who are interested in AI/ML can also go for it as there is a good chance that your project is based on these domains as well.
One specific piece of advice I would like to give is that don’t be very specific with any company or role because there are not many companies for each and every role during CDC internships, hence in order to increase your chances to bag an internship through CDC, try to broaden your spectrum as much as possible.
For a software profile, there are as such no specific points to keep in mind but as a general opinion, try to have spikes in your CV by which I mean include projects, internships (if any), achievements, positions of responsibility (not of much importance in software profile) as well as extracurriculars. Prepare your CV thoroughly before going to an interview.

Hello folks! I am Rithick Prabakar, a third-year undergraduate student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. I will join Honeywell as an SDE intern in the summer of 2023.
The first round was the preliminary coding round. It was conducted on Hackerrank and consisted of 3 questions. All three were pretty easy if one has had a decent amount of practice. Then I had my technical interview and HR round. At first, a straightforward question was asked. After answering it, the question was modified into a more complex one. After solving that one, I was asked to explain my ongoing research project. Next, I was called for the HR round. It was concluded with a "Do you have any questions for us?" and a call from CDC confirming the offer.
The first step for a software profile is a good grasp of data structures and algorithms. Here are some of the great resources I found: -
Introduction to Algorithms MIT OCW (This is gold! Make sure to follow the latest playlist for updated algorithms)
Introduction to Algorithms book by Thomas H Cormen et al. (This is an excellent book for theory. You know, for the people who love to read the book after the lecture. Amazing if you read it. If you have no motivation for a giant book, not much loss.)
You have the gist of all the algorithms and data structures by now. Now the next best thing is to focus on relevant topics rather than learning everything in detail. If you program in Python, that's good, but learning CPP would be significant. The reason is that it's a low-level language than Python and is excellent for coding the answers (STL is paradise). But always go with your most confident programming language. To learn CPP, I'd suggest the following videos:
Complete CPP (This course covers everything, including OOPs concepts, implementing them, and all advanced CPP)
Shorter CPP(If you are overwhelmed by 31 hours, then these 4 hours cover all the core concepts needed for you to build your skills)
STL Video (This guy explains complete STL and implements them in C++. Awesome!)
STL (Don't feel like watching too many videos? Then use this to learn the ultimate power of CPP)
From the above resources, you covered everything needed to indulge in specific topics. The above would equip you from a complete starter to writing your code. The important topics are Dynamic Programming or DP, Graphs, Bit manipulation, Trees, and Heaps.
Dynamic Programming (Common DP questions with code)
Graphs (Common Graph questions with code)
Bit Manipulation (It pretty much covers all the necessary tactics for bit manipulation needed for coding tests)
And finally, read about code readability. It would greatly help while coding to keep track. With these, you have all the necessary knowledge of DSA. And while doing all this, you can do either of the two things. Suppose you have a lot of time (more than 5 months). In that case, giving contests in CodeForces is an excellent way to acquaint yourself with solving questions in time constraints.
You will also gain a ton of confidence to solve questions. But if you start preparing during the summers for interns, it would be challenging to solve more than 3 questions in Div. 2. And of course, if you can, keep going. Else it would kill the confidence. Rather than giving contests, focus on solving them from the archive with ratings sorted. This would provide a lot of confidence (confidence does wonders). To get habituated to solving questions under time constraints, Grimoire of Code does weekly contests with previous year CDC questions (kudos!). On top of it, a time-to-time contest from Codeforces/CodeChef for the time-constraint practice.
Lastly, Interviewbit bucket questions. Leetcode substitutes too. They have the previous year's questions appropriately sorted and only a handful. While doing theory, coding them simultaneously dramatically helps when wholly dedicated to solving questions. Some extra resources are given below:
CP Algorithms (All CP things in sorted manner)
Number Theory(Number theory)
Cracking the coding interview by McDowell (For interview questions + HR questions)
Tips and Tricks for Interview (Most interview tips and tricks are compiled into one post)
Whatever you do, be very consistent. Consistency is the key. Also, don't neglect core cs concepts like Operating Systems and Database Management Systems. OOPS too. There are a good number of resources available for them.
I had no problems with the algorithm's theory part. I have been involved in them since my high school. But the major problem was that I had no programming practice. I had a fantastic grip on CPP, so the only problem was implementing the algorithms. Even with plenty of time, I didn't show consistency in CodeForces or CodeChef (5 or 6 contests). When CDC arrived, I realized I had wasted a lot of opportunities. The only programming practice I had was in HackerRank. To overcome this, I totally focused on interviewbit and GoC contests. This gave me the base to code my paper-written algorithms. In conclusion, code what you learn simultaneously.
I haven't yet done my internship, so I wouldn't specify anything. But on a gist, it's for people interested in software, programming, and problem-solving.
Don't be overwhelmed by the entire CDC process. A lot of factors might demotivate you. You might have tests late at night and interviews in the early morning. To refresh, hang out with friends, do a 2.2, and take a chill pill. If you face any issues, reach out to your friends and seniors. Stay away from Facebook and LinkedIn, if possible.
Don't lose heart if you are rejected. Face it. For all the work you have done, for all the efforts you have put in, you will definitely get what you deserve. Remember that CDC is just another phase and will eventually pass. It is not the end.
Relevant projects for the profile are always a great point. That also includes your self-projects and internships. If they are relevant to SDE, then adding them is good. Adding your CF/CC rating is always a plus. That also includes your code jam/hash code/Hackercup highest ranks. Group projects show you are a good team player. Relevant hackathons also offer your competitive skill. Remember, you might be questioned about whatever is written on your curriculum vitae. Get your CV reviewed by seniors to improve them.

Hey everyone. My name is Hari G, I am a 4th year undergraduate student in the Department of Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture enrolled in its Dual Degree course. I am a boarder of the Nehru Hall of Residence. In the past, I have worked on various interns and projects related to the field of Machine Learning & Data Science.
How did you get into Hindustan Unilever Limited ? What was the selection procedure?
There are 3 stages to the selection process :
1. Google Form
2. HireVue Test
3. Interview
1. Google Form :
Once you have applied in ERP with your CV, you will get a Google Form from the company that needs to be filled. It will have 5 sections (Your Basic Info, Your Achievements, Your Hobbies, Psychometric Questions, Reviewers). The answers to the questions is given in a subjective format with word limit of 150 characters.
Once you get past 1st round, you will be sent a test link in the name of HireVue Test. Details of the HireVue Test:
Test Duration : 15mins
Test Window : ~ 1 day
Questions : 3
Breakdown : 1 min (for question narration) + 1 min (for thinking through the solution ) + 3mins (for answering the question)
Once you clear the HireVue test, you will be notified about the interview. There is only 1 interview which lasts for ~30–40mins. Here questions were of 3 types : Department-related, CV-related, HR.
With this form, they look out for your character and credibility. There is no time limit for the form. So you should take time and answer each question as best as possible. Answer each question as exhaustive as possible. Make sure your answers aligns with the company’s values (which you should go through and consider while writing your answers).
In case of reviewers, you are required to submit contact details of people who know best about you from internships such as your manager, your faculty advisors etc.,.
Each question was from different domain. One of the questions was strategy-related, other two were more industry-related. To prepare for this test, going through the role and trying to have a general knowledge on the technologies and procedures related will help. Also, doing a bit of case study will help when it comes to strategy related questions.
Going through your department courses will be very necessary since the questions start from there. If your department isn’t related to the role, then refer one of the Mechanical Department courses (such as Thermodynamics / Fluid Mechanics).
For supply chain, you can go through the Supply Chain Management course slides from Industrial Engineering Department (In my case, I wasn’t questioned on these concepts)
To prepare for HR questions, refer to Divyam Sharma’s Medium articles and some general HR questions. The questions covered there were exhaustive enough. I would recommend to write answers for those questions and have it prepared in case you are not sure of your performance. Again, for these questions try to go through the job description and answer based on the requirements for the role.
Link : https://medium.com/@divyamsharma_iitkgp
During the entire interview, the aim is to ensure that the interviewer is always focused towards the answers. Therefore you should be confident in the interview and provide answers calmly and clearly.
In my case, my department and my CV (ML-oriented) is not related to the role. Therefore during my interview, I was questioned on my ability to perform well in the role. The key is to convince the interviewer that you are capable enough of molding yourself to this type of role given how you have done the same in past (with your real-life experience).
If you have a flair for management and collaborating with multiple teams is something you are interested in, then this is ideal for your role. This role isn’t more technical in terms of requirement for hard skills.
There is no set of rules for getting selected in this role as the selection process is more subjective from the start. Supply Chain Management roles primarily intake students from the Circuital / Industrial / Chemical / Mechanical Department. So if you don’t belong to these departments, then apply for this role only as backup.
Just to give a perspective, this year (2022–23), the intake of HUL has increased to 5 people from 1 person last year.
Therefore if you don’t get selected for this role, don’t worry. There are multiple other companies with other roles and good offers in subsequent days.
In Hindustan Unilever Limited, the selection program is called Unilever Leadership Internship Programme (ULIP) . For this role, internships and Position of Responsibility are valued equally. If you can justify yourself with work you have done in your internships and societies from a leadership standpoint ( such as by giving real-life examples for your communication skills) , that will be enough.

My name is Aditya Uppal. I am a third year undergraduate from the mechanical engineering department. As for my involvements on campus, I was the CDC Departmental Representative of the Mechanical Engineering department as well as a part of AGV and Encore.
2) How did you get into ITC? What was the selection procedure?
ITC is a Day 1 company and a few days before Day 1, a Google form is circulated. The Form is evaluative and acts as the largest filter for the students, so I recommend filling it with utmost care and precision. After the form, some 70–80 odd students are shortlisted for the GDs. The GD is extremely interesting and case-study based. About 20 students made it past the GDs to the final interviews held on Day 1. There are 2 rounds of interview, one is technical and based on your CV/department while the final interview is the HR round with higher-ups from the company. In my case it was the CEO of the matchsticks and incense business.
The Google form basically collects your academic track record in addition to your motivation to join the company. I suggest writing concise and crisp answers, strongly highlighting why you want to work for ITC and how you shall be able to contribute to the same. It may come as a bummer to some but SGPA is also taken into account in addition to CGPA. Consistency is rewarded. The GD is there to test your communication skills as well as your ability to translate problems into smaller, more digestible bits. Linear thinking and simple case solving can be practiced to ensure a solid performance in the GD. The topics mentioned on your CV, especially from your core department, have to be prepared thoroughly as they might be asked in the interview. Ensure that you are thorough with at least 3 topics from your depth curriculum. The HR round is fairly straightforward and tests your quick thinking and reasoning ability. I was presented with the task of employing what I have done in my previous internship at IISc in a real life scenario in the final interview.
According to me the most unpredictable part of the whole process is the first shortlist, that is after the Google Form. There is no specific criteria on which you are judged, so you can not necessarily predict if you’ll be shortlisted or not. Having a decent CGPA helps a ton but giving solid answers for your motivation to work at the company will also be a major role. Ensure that you take advice from your mentors/ seniors.
ITC offers interns the ability to work on large, real life problems which can offer an extremely enriching experience with a steep learning curve. It truly is an experience and I would suggest everyone who has the will to make a difference to consider applying to the job. The projects you get are based on your strengths and points highlighted in your interview/CV.
I would suggest having at least one project in core/field you want to work in. It greatly helps in driving the interview as well as ensures that the interviewer does not deviate too much and ask questions which are either too difficult or irrelevant. It also helps in covering up gaps in your preparation of core topics. In addition to this being confident, having a positive outlook as well as a no-nonsense approach to answers will get you a long way. All the very best, internships are just a very small step in the long journey that awaits you all. Don’t fret, you got this.
As I mentioned before, have some projects and prepare them thoroughly. Think of real life applications of the same so that you can tie that in during the interview. Mention academic courses very carefully as you can be grilled on the same. Prepare theory of the courses you have mentioned at the very least. PORs help, but are not necessary as I did not have any specific POR when I sat for the internship process.

I am Vardhan, 4th year UG student from the Department of Chemical Engineering enrolled in its Dual Degree Course, pursuing a minor in CS and micro in AI and EP. I am a boarder of RP Hall. I am from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh
ITC is one of the leading FMCG companies in India. The selection procedure focuses more on the diversity of the profile and how much of a fit you are for the company. There were, in total, three rounds; firstly, we needed to fill out a form, which is very important to get a shortlist; next, we had a group discussion round followed by a PI. In the PI, there were two rounds, first the HR round followed by a technical round.
I prepared nothing in particular for ITC; they check how we can implement the projects we have done in their company. However, if one wants to prepare for any FMCG role, one needs to be thorough with your CV, have a good grasp of basic physics and chemistry (as I was asked questions in this domain), look at guesstimated, and have a diverse profile. Apart from this, you need to have good decision-making skills and on spot-thinking, as the HR round was very tricky and logical.
The problem I faced during preparation is that there is no particular topic on which ITC questions (for example, a software company mostly focuses on CP, which isn’t the case with FMCG roles). To overcome this, the best way is to be thorough with the CV and also about the company and how you can add value to the company.
In my opinion, people with good decision-making skills and a diversified profile should give a shot at this company. Also, according to the previous statistics, ITC prefers CH, ME, EE/EC students over other departments.
The process will be long and hectic; you might feel like giving up and feeling worthless, but don’t let any of this let you down; having a peer group would always cheer you up, and you cheer them up when they require you. Once the process is over, you will feel so relieved, and on that day, thank everyone who was with you!
For this particular profile, I suggest you focus on the projects and internships (a minimum of 3) and mention your PoRs (a minimum of 3 again), a major talking point in the HR round.

Hi! My name is Rishi Suman, and I am a fourth-year undergraduate student of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering enrolled in its dual degree course.
I shall intern at Jaguar Land Rover India Private Limited as a software intern this summer for eight weeks.
JLR visited our campus on Day — 2 of the internship drive. First, we have to apply via ERP. It opens for every department, and the CGPA criteria is > 6.5.
The selection procedure majorly consisted of two rounds:
The OA comprised two sections, each with a specified allotted time. The OA was conducted on JLR’s platform called Coderace.
2. Online Interview:
The most challenging part is clearing the online assessment round. Many students apply for the software role, so your submissions must be quick and accurate. Time is an essential factor in shortlisting, where several students solve all the problems. To overcome this, give as many mock contests as possible so that you get used to writing codes quickly in the given timeframe.
My mistake, not specific to this profile but in general, was that I started preparing late. Start early, practice as much as possible, and be sincere, consistent and confident.
Anyone targeting software roles should apply for the position. If data structures and algorithms interest you, and you like problem-solving, you are good to apply for this job profile. Interest in Vehicles and experience in the field is an added benefit. Your department would not be a barrier; therefore, everyone can apply.
What are some of the significant points that would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (Any specific suggestions you would like to make)
Do you have any specific advice to the junta sitting for internships this year?
The entire CDC internship process is a stressful phase. Have faith in yourself and your preparation. Rejections are part of the process, and we learn from them. Your hard work and efforts will pay off in the end. Just give in all your efforts and all the very best from my side!!

Hello, my name is Avinash Kumar. I am from the electrical department enrolled in its Instrumentation Engineering Course. I am from Nawada, Bihar.
There were only 2 steps in total, 1st is the online examination and the 2nd is the interview round.
JLR came for roles in our campus. One can choose any roles. I chose EV powertrain and the software profiles. In the examination there were 3 sections as I remember. 1st section consists of mental ability and basic mathematics questions and the difficulty of the questions was of self-adjusting in nature. In the 2nd section there were 15–20 (exact count don’t remember) questions and most of the questions was from the Power related stuffs and based on the direct formulas.
It would be good if you could practice GATE questions related to this topic. Some of the same as of the GATE. In the 3rd section, there were 3 coding questions (I won’t discuss about this).
For the interview round, JLR came on day 2. It started with a general introduction. Then asked me a question regarding the interests and what I have done in this regard. After he asked me about the project mentioned in very great detail. He asked me to implement the Alpha-Beta pruning and min-max algorithm (This algorithm was mentioned in the resume). After that he asked me question regarding the Digital electronics (as I already told them that I am interested in the digital electronics circuit). He asked me to code D flip-flop in Verilog. Finally, they asked some basic questions regarding analog electronics. The panel was very friendly and helpful whenever I got stuck and made some minor mistakes.
Start with revising the power related courses (if you are Electrical), digital and electronics circuit. Questions related to minimization of gate, multiplexer is frequently being asked. Once you are done with these topics and feel confident, learning time analysis and the basics of Verilog would be useful. When asked, I said these courses has not been covered in the course and it will be taught in the upcoming semesters. For Verilog you can refer to lecture series by Prof. Indranil Sen Gupta and do some assignments for programming in Verilog.
As such I did not face any difficulties during the procedure. I would advise you to stay cool and confident during the exam. Don’t panic during the interview. Questions being asked are logical and can be solved with the cool mindset and following the standard procedure if you face any difficulty in some of the questions. Most important do not forget to revise the basics as these are building blocks of your entire preparation.
Anyone who is interested in core or covered the curriculum in great detail during the semester if not sure about the profile can sit for the process.
You need to understand the fact that CDC is very chaotic and random in nature. In some of the companies’ test you might feel down but don’t let it affect your health. Stay confident and believe on the process and yourself.
During the interview answer the questions calmly, boldly and listen to the panel calmly and patiently. Ask them to clarify if you have any doubt regarding the questions. Always try to share your thought process with them, as they focus more on the thought process rather than the final answer. If you have something about yourself then mention it in the introduction only as this may drive the whole interview towards your interests and the field in which you are interested.
They focus much on the resume part at least in my case. So, mention those things or related stuffs in which you are very much confident. You can do some self-projects to mention.

Hi! My name is Daksh Varshney. I am a third-year undergraduate student of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. I was born and brought up in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. Last year, I received an internship offer in the Software Profile from Jaguar Land Rover via the CDC internship drive.
2. How did you get into JLR? What was the selection procedure?
There were two rounds in the selection procedure: an online assessment and a technical interview.
Online Assessment: It consisted of two sections, one for coding and the other for aptitude questions. The coding section had 3 DSA questions based on DP, Graphs, and Strings. The questions were of moderate difficulty. The aptitude section consisted of questions based on probability and statistics, linear algebra, and other puzzle-based questions. Students from all the departments were allowed to take the coding test.
Technical Interview: The interview round was for about 1 hour. It started with some coding questions on topics like linked lists and graphs. All the questions were of moderate difficulty. After this, they started CV grilling in which they asked questions about my past internships and projects. They mainly focused on my contribution to these projects. Finally, some standard HR questions were asked.
You must be proficient in DSA. There are multiple resources for preparing it like Interviewbit, GeeksForGeeks, Leetcode, and CSES. Keep giving contests on platforms like Codeforces and Codechef to practice solving questions in a time-bound environment. Also, keep a good habit of calculating time complexity and space complexity while solving a problem.
For preparing the aptitude section, brush up on basic concepts of probability and statistics, and linear algebra, apart from this practice problems from Brainstellar and Heard on the Street book.
For the interview round, be ready to live code in front of the recruiter. So you need to be able to explain whatever you are coding. Also, be prepared for CV grilling. You should be familiar with the STAR (situation, task, action, and result) method to prepare for the behavioral questions.
The major difficulty that I faced was not being able to properly explain the approach of my solution in the interview rounds. To overcome this, I took some help from seniors and friends and they took some mock interviews which eventually helped me to improve. I also used to watch technical interviews on YouTube which helped me a lot.
Anyone interested in Software roles should apply for this job. Anyone can apply because your department won’t be a barrier.
6. Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year?
The entire procedure is highly demanding, so psychologically get ready for it and stay motivated. Make a group of friends that are targeting the same profile as you and prepare with them. Working together to prepare will keep you motivated and guarantee that you don’t miss any crucial deadlines. Practice mock interviews with your friends or seniors.
Make sure your CV is well-prepared and that your seniors have reviewed it. Never be afraid of asking your seniors for doubts. They will be more than happy to help you.
Finally, acknowledge that rejection is a necessary component of the entire process. Therefore, keep working hard, trust the process, and never give up hope if you receive any rejections. Eventually, you will succeed. Best of Luck :)
7. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
If you have any, try to highlight at least one project or internship, as these demonstrate that you have real-world experience and the ability to work with others to solve any challenge. You can mention your ranks in coding competitions (such as KickStart, Codejam, and HackerCup) and on websites like Codeforces and CodeChef in your resume. Above all, only include something on your resume that you can support or are sure of.
All the best junta!!

I am Polu Sreenidhi. I am a 3rd year UG student of the Department of EE enrolled in its B-Tech 4-year course. I got my summer internship at Jaguar Land Rover under EV powertrain profile through CDC.
2)How did you get into JLR? What was the selection procedure?
Test:
a. JLR opens for three profiles — software, EV (EE and EECE), Mechanical
b. Any combination (SDE / EV / Mech or any two can be written (SDE + EV / SDE + Mech)
c. I have written only for the EV profile
d. The test consists of three parts — Aptitude, Technical and coding round.
e. The marking scheme is in such a way that the difficulty increases as you write correct answers: Easy -1 mark, average — 3 marks, difficult — 5 marks. This applies to both Aptitude and Technical rounds. The coding part consists of three coding questions.
Interview:
In the technical round, they will ask questions mostly from the CV — related to projects, your sem courses, and your experiences in that particular profile. They test you mostly on your fundamental understanding, your way of approaching the question, and your problem-solving skills. They may ask some basic coding questions as well. Mostly they concentrated on my CV. One has to be perfect with their CV.
3)How did you prepare for them?I revised analog and digital circuits and machines which were taught in the 3rd and 4th semesters. And I have gone through some video lectures for better clarification of the topics — Razavi for analog circuits, NPTEL video lectures for both digital circuits and machines. Once reading and covering lectures is done, I started solving Previous papers and Interview Questions(very important). One can refer to Interviewbit, geeks for geeks, or Glassdoor(requires login with Gmail) for these questions.
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?6) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year?
I wasted most of my time deciding between core and non-core. I have spoken to some of my seniors and taken their suggestions. If you are interested in the core and are confident then start your preparation with the core itself. Three months of summer duration is very peak time for CDC preparation. Dividing your daily tasks and managing the time for preparation is very important. Divide your work for the three months properly. If you have any doubts regarding any topics or you may not be able to solve any problems, ping your seniors or friends, and seek their guidance and help. Refer to some good suggested videos on youtube for better understanding. Talk to seniors or discuss with your friends who are preparing for the same profile so that you can learn more and you can build up your confidence as well. Practicing previous paper questions is very important. You will get a good amount of ideas on the depth of the questions and how to manage your time during the exams. For the aptitude section, it is better to practice some questions before the exams so that you would not spend much time on these questions
Having a clear knowledge of a particular profile is very important before starting preparation. As there are limited core companies, students who are really interested in core and want to pursue a career in the core domain can apply for this profile. One has to dedicate a lot of their time to solving and preparing for the core. A good CG of 8+ or 8.5+ is preferable.
6)Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year.
Some advice I would like to give — Having clear knowledge on their particular domain is very important and going through some of the recent research/any papers may give them some idea on their domain. It is better to start preparation as soon as possible. Good and clear understanding of basic fundamentals and theory is needed. And it would be better to take some useful courses like VLSI, Mixed IC Design etc (in platforms like Coursera) or do any self-project in this summer related to their domain. And as a part of preparation solving previous questions is very important as it gives an insight into the depth of the paper. And also practicing some aptitude questions will be really helpful during exams so that more time can be given to technical questions.
Any projects, courses, or competitions related to the profile would be really helpful.

My name is Akansha Agarwal. I am a final year undergraduate student enrolled in the B.Tech course of Manufacturing Science and Engineering. I will be interning with JP Morgan Chase & Co. — CIB Research and Analytics.
2) How did you get into JP Morgan Chase Co.? What was the selection procedure?
I applied for this role through ERP,IIT Kharagpur during the CDC Internship drive.The role was open for all the departments. The selection procedure was as follows:
Screening Test
The online test consisted of 3 different sections — one of aptitude test,quant questions & probability statistics, the other had questions related to finance(factual and theoretical) and the last one was a coding section (2–3 coding questions of medium level). Interview:
The interview had several technical rounds and one HR round. I was asked a few puzzles and a few theoretical and numericals on probability statistics. They asked concepts of DSA ,OOPS (mostly implementation on python). This role required some understanding of finance as well and I was questioned on fundamentals of economics and finance. Moreover,I was also grilled on ML concepts and data science projects on my CV. The HR questions were pretty standard.
For aptitude and quant section,brush up on Probability and Statistics courses, CAT questions, JEE level math. Basically, solving fast and accurately in a time-constraint is required.I would suggest going through puzzles and guesstimates(I did some on interviewbit and brainstellar), get some basic knowledge on the domain of finance (online resources), practice DSA and be thorough with ML algorithms & concepts. If you have mentioned any projects or internships on your CV, have a good understanding of them.
I would like to discuss the problems that I faced in general during the CDC Internship. Firstly, finding the right profile and right resources posed difficulties. Moreover, I started preparing quite late and was not able to complete DSA which requires a lot of practice. One thing which I realized at the time I was looking for an
internship was, that even if you are preparing for non-SDE roles still you should have some grip over DSA and other CSE topics. And lastly, CDC is a truly strenuous process.
To overcome the problems I faced, I would suggest exploring different profiles and collecting different materials early(profile wise resources are available) .
Anyone interested in machine learning, mathematics, data analytics and have some interest in finance should apply for this job.
I would advise everyone to not get frustrated and keep trying. It will be helpful if you have few friends to discuss during preparation. Take good advantage of the summer break to prepare yourself better. Get your CV verified (preferably from seniors and batchmates). Also,one thing that helped me the most in the interview was talking to a senior who had interned previously in the same profile and understanding the job description a bit. This gave me an idea of the kind and level of questions asked for this profile.
7) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?
I am not quite sure of the exact shortlisting criteria. However, including ML projects will be relevant. If you have done any courses on finance that would be an added advantage as well.

Hey everyone, I am Vaishnavi Singh, a fourth-year undergraduate pursuing a BTech in Metallurgy with an interdisciplinary MTech in Financial Engineering along with a micro-specialization in Artificial Intelligence. I will be interning at JPMC this summer as a Model Risk Governance and Review (MRGR) intern in the Global Risk and Compliance Program. Talking about my previous intern experiences, I interned at Godrej Housing Finance as a live Project intern in the Risk Analytics Team and as a Finance intern at Tata Motors. In addition, I also worked as a remote research intern at the University of Sussex. On campus, I have been a part of ShARE IIT Kharagpur and served as the Vice President in 2021–22.
2) How did you get into JPMC? What was the selection procedure?
I got the chance to interview through the JPMC Quant Mentorship Program. This is organized for pre-final year girl students across major IITs, and BITs campuses and about 2% of total applicants are selected.
The selection procedure includes a test to assess math and basic programming skills.
A case study on some finance aspects which again requires math and basic programming skills in your choice of language.
Once selected for the mentorship program, it is a 6 months to a year mentorship program with teaching sessions, hackathons, fun meets and direct interaction with JPMC working professionals.
At the end of the mentorship program, all the mentees get a chance to directly interview for an internship next summer in either Quant or MRGR profiles.
Initial screening rounds require a basic brushing up of Integration, Differentiation, Prob Stats and Permutation and Combinations for Maths and PDS level programming skills.
Throughout the mentorship program, there will be assignments after teaching sessions based on what was taught. There will be additional sources on their website to learn the topics better. Topics covered would include basics of Finance, Coding and Maths. These require no prior preparation except being consistent and attentive.
For the Final Rounds ( may be multiple rounds) of interviews for the MRGR Profile:
Probability and Statistics : Sources: Fifty Challenging Problems in Probability, Probability and Statistics Course(MA20104), Heard on The Street: Quantitative Questions from Wall Street Interviews
Math Puzzles: Medium and Hard level questions on Brainstellar + Heard on The Street
Machine Learning Basics:
Basics: Machine Learning Foundation and Application, Machine learning by Andrew NG, study the popular ML Models like Logistic Regression, Naive-Bayes, SVM etc. + Basic knowledge of Mathematics used in ML
Time Constraint Prep: Practice popular interview questions in ML from GeeksForGeeks, InterviewBit and other online resources.
Data Science:
ML Basics and Practice popular Interview questions from online resources.
Basics of Python programming, popular libraries like numpy, matplot etc.
CV Prep:
Prepare short descriptions of all your projects and internships
Must know the ML or Data Analysis technique used in projects, if any
Brush up on related coursework that you mention in the CV like Linear Algebra, Econometrics, Probability and Stochastic Processes, Finance, MLFA etc.
Lastly, there is an HR round to know your interests and personality assessment.
Difficulties faced:
1. Time Constraints before CDC
2. Vast number of areas to be covered
3. Nervousness before interviews
Tips to overcome these difficulties:
1. Start interview prep at least a month before
2. Keep practising Prob, Stats and Puzzles
3. Make Short notes on important concepts in ML, Data Science that are usually asked in interviews
4. Try giving Mock Interviews and take help from peers, seniors and JPMC mentors.
Lastly, maintain your calm, give it your best shot, ask for help from the interviewer if you are stuck somewhere, talk out loud while solving.
This profile of Model Risk Governance and Review is best suited for anyone interested in Machine Learning and its application in Finance, has done some projects or internships in similar areas and has a strong hold over Prob Stats, Math and ML.
My advice would be to
2. Take help from peers and seniors
3. Not to get intimidated by seeing other people’s progress as everyone has their own pace
4. Spend time productively and it is very important to take short breaks in between
5. Work and spend time on your CV, and get it reviewed multiple times
Lastly, just prepare wisely and be confident of your worth.
Major Points to Mention in your CV:
1. Any ML-related research project, internship, self project with the Model used, Accuracy, Hypothesis Testing, Data analysis methods used
2. Python Programming Skills
3. Relevant Coursework Information in Maths, ML, Finance
4. Any Hackathons, Competitions you have taken part in ( not necessarily won something)
5. Background in Finance or Finance interns, certifications etc. would be an added advantage
I wish all the best to the KGP junta sitting for CDC this time. Feel free to reach out in case of any queries.

Hello Everyone! I am Lalam Hari Prasad, a fourth-year undergraduate student in the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. I joined JSW as a Supply Chain & Logistics Intern (BPSL Plant Odisha) in the Summer of 2023 as part of their Summer Internship Program (SIP).
How did you get into JSW? What was the selection procedure?
There were three rounds in the selection procedure: an online assessment, a group discussion, and an interview.
a. Online Assessment: It consisted of two sections; one section primarily focuses on the psychometric & reasoning skills of the student and has straightforward questions, the only catch being that you get significantly less time. The other section focuses on the Core knowledge of your respective Department, and one can easily crack this section if they have the gist of the core Department Subjects.
b. Group Discussion: This could be the crucial part of the assessment as a group consists of 6 to 8 students. Two topics were put forward by the panel one after the other:
1. Tata Acquisition of Air India
2. The current value of Paint Industries in India
One must feel free to express their views to the panel within 15 minutes, and the topics majorly revolve around current Industrial news and happenings.
c. Interview: A Handful of students were shortlisted after the first two rounds, and a final call with the Company executive was held, where he majorly asked a few HR Questions, discussion on past projects and internships, CV grilling, and some tricky questions to test the student's alignment toward the core disciplines. This round lasted roughly 20 minutes.
One has to be thorough with the concepts of their core discipline. For Metallurgy students, Basic Extractive Metallurgy, Iron and Steelmaking, and the fundamentals of thermodynamics are essential topics.
Solving core Metallurgical engineering and aptitude questions for the Assessment round would be good enough to get through it.
For the GD round, one must know current Industrial news and a little company background. More than 50% of students get eliminated this round, and one must provide sound reasoning for their views and initiate the discussion.
For the interview, one should be able to explain everything mentioned in the CV. One should be clear with all aspects of the projects/internships they have done. The students should have a thorough idea of the company beforehand to quickly drive the interview and express their interests to the interviewer.
Resources I have followed: Resources for CDC Preparation (you can find the resources for every profile here)
Before the start of CDC, I was a little uncertain about the profile as I have explored both the software and Management profiles and found interest in both. I prepared for both of them and kept SDE as my backup profile.
During the CDC phase, I find it a little difficult to practice for both profiles and maintain consistency, so I suggest everyone better stick to one profile if possible, or if you are interested in multiple profiles, prioritize them and keep one as the backup because it's challenging to master multiple profiles within the short time, given you won’t get enough time to practice for each profile.
Although JSW is a core company, the work here primarily revolves around many businesses like Sales & Marketing, Operations, CSR, Supply Chain Management, E-Commerce, and many more business verticals.
One must utilize Core domain knowledge and Problem-Solving skills to solve real-life Industrial Problems, significantly impacting the industrial turnout.
People interested in the above-mentioned Techno-Managerial Domains are suitable for applying to this role.
Commonly, the companies visiting this target profile (Core/Management) are very few, and there is massive competition for these companies. Do not feel disheartened if you don't receive a shortlist or cannot make it through all the assessment rounds. There are many off-campus opportunities.
Stay in touch with your parents, friends and constantly seek their guidance if you feel like giving up.
Remember, you possess unique skills and qualities that make you a strong candidate. Stay focused on your goals and maintain a positive mindset. It can be beneficial to seek guidance from seniors who have successfully gone through similar experiences. Their insights and advice can provide valuable perspectives and help you navigate the process more effectively. Keep pushing forward, stay determined, and believe in yourself; success is within reach.
I recommend that everyone read the job description before applying or consult seniors who have worked in that particular company to know about the work culture beforehand, as you cannot apply to every company that has visited the campus.
Managerial Companies usually look for an all-rounder personality who has many skills besides their academics. Some of the points to be mentioned in your CV are:
Projects & Internships: Highlight significant projects you have completed, emphasizing your role and accomplishments.
Publications or term papers: If applicable, include any research papers, articles, or presentations you have authored or delivered.
Positions of Responsibility: Although very few companies look into these (unless you are from any cell or hold Gymkhana managerial post), it reflects your leadership skills, managerial techniques, and more.
Remember to tailor your CV to the specific role you're applying for, highlighting the most relevant experiences and skills that align with the profile's requirements.
Here’s wishing all the very best to the CDC junta this year! Feel free to reach out in case of any queries!

Hello! My name is Diya Sarkar. I am a 3rd-year undergraduate student from the Department of Chemical Engineering, enrolled in its BTech course. I’m a boarder of Mother Teresa Hall of Residence. I am a debater and former governor at the Debating Society, and a former member of Kharagpur Data Analytics Group. I currently reside in Mumbai. I will be joining LEK Consulting as a Summer Associate this summer.
2) How did you get into LEK? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure started off with CV shortlisting, followed by a buddy round, a few rounds of case interviews and finally a personal interview.
For the CV shortlisting, LEK (like other consulting profiles) generally looks for “spikes” in your CV — this looks like excellent PoRs, CGPA, extra-curriculars, internships or projects. The more spikes your CV has, the better the chances for getting shortlisted. It is not necessary to have prior consulting experience (I did not have any), however internships at well-known companies (brand names) are valued.
After getting shortlisted, you are assigned a “buddy” from LEK, with whom you collaboratively solve cases and learn how to prepare for the interviews.
Post the buddy round, there are a few rounds of case interviews, where you’ll generally be asked cases of three types — guesstimates, profitability or market entry. In my instance, my PI and case interview were combined — so I answered questions based on my previous work experience, why I wanted to join consulting (and LEK specifically) and other standard HR questions followed by a case problem. This is to say that these rounds can be flexible and are different for different people, so make sure you keep an open mind and are able to adapt accordingly.
There are two kinds of interviews you need to prepare for — case and personal interviews.
Preparing for cases is similar to preparing for any technical role — you go through casebooks and solve cases and you watch videos of mock case interviews. The unique thing about solving cases is that it’s important to solve cases with a partner — in this way, one of you can take the role of the interviewer and the other of the interviewee and you can get a better learning experience. You can refer to ISB, IITM or IIMA for their casebooks. Each casebook has a slightly different framework, so make sure you stick to what works best for you and become really well versed in that framework. Apart from that, you can refer to the Youtube channel Case Interviews Cracked to see how case interviews generally go. Another important aspect of case interviews is that the interviewer is testing your ability to think logically — so it’s okay if you don’t get to the final answer right away! You should be very communicative with your interviewer at every step through your case-solving process so that they know how you’re thinking.
For personal interviews, you should be able to explain your past work and your interest in joining the firm/field very well. Consultants are expected to be good at communication, so make sure you’re able to express yourself clearly and concisely when answering these questions. You can refer to the book “How to Answer the 64 Toughest Interview Questions” (don’t be intimidated by the name) for some standard HR questions.
I initially faced difficulties in properly communicating with my interviewer while solving cases. I think this was because I had a very results oriented approach — that I should somehow arrive at the right answer. This meant I rushed and was not always clear about my process and was even more so unable to communicate it. It’s important to be very thorough and go step by step while solving cases. Treat your interviewer like your collaborator — they want to help you reach the right answer. When starting out, it’s okay to take a lot of time to solve a case; if that means your fundamentals are clear. My main takeaways are: don’t hesitate in asking for clarifications and don’t rush to the final solution.
I don’t think there’s a specific “type” of person who is ideal for consultancy. Broadly, you should be open to learning new things in various fields and be willing to take a lot of accountability and initiative. Apart from that, being expressive and good at communication are important. However, I think the latter skills can be learnt and anyone willing to do so should go ahead and apply.
My main piece of advice would be to keep reaching out to seniors for professional as well as personal advice during the intern season. CDC is a difficult and confusing process and you don’t want to lose out on any opportunity due to lack of information. Your seniors have probably gone through exactly what you’re going through right now and have more perspective given they’re now on the other side. Remember that it’s always better to ask a silly doubt and clear it, than to keep having silly misconceptions. I personally aspired for and also did much better than I ever would have if I were on my own because of the guidance and encouragement given to me by some amazing seniors.
Clearly explain your previous work experience such that even someone who doesn’t necessarily have a lot of knowledge on the subject can understand what you did. The STAR framework is useful for figuring out a general structure for your CV. It’s worth it to put in extra time to format your CV well — 1 page long, minimum whitespace, no grammatical or spelling errors. This is especially true for non-tech roles such as consultancy, where the first step is generally a CV shortlist.

Ahh, the familiar “Intro De”.
I’ll try to write this as frankly as possible and in the same spirit of honesty; I’ll also disclose that I’m also writing this in quite a hurry, aiming to finish this within the duration of a 2-hour flight, so please excuse me for grammar issues and anything else nonsensical.
I’m also unsure if I’m allowed to swear in SWG articles, so I’ll be creative here and there. Additionally, I will assume that the reader is familiar with the basic CDC profiles and their general requirements. If not, here they are:
I’ll start off, then, with the cookie-cutter KGP intro.
My name is Ram Sundaram. I’m a 3rd year (as of the time of writing this) undergraduate student of the Department of Biotechnology enrolled in its BTech course. I am a boarder of Vidyasagar Hall of Residence. I am from Bangalore, Karnataka.
With that done, some other stuff about me are that I’m currently the Head Finance at Business Club. I’m interested in a bunch of stuff like data analytics, finance, economics, and machine learning, but I haven’t really delved super deep into anything. I do quite like my core as well, but yeah, I ain’t pursuing that shoot because opportunities are severely limited, and a Master’s Degree is a minimum requirement, if not a PhD. I’m a lazy human being, so that’s not for me, for now, at least. I also did quite a bit of CP during my CDC prep and was actually focused on obtaining an analytics/SDE role, but as things would have it, I wouldn’t end up with any of the Day 1 Tech shortlists I wanted (probably due to a combination of my highly non-circuital department and my own underperformance in tests) and ended up in the most non-CP role possible with LEK Consulting, which I am nonetheless extremely grateful for.
How did I get into LEK? Well, to be honest, I’m still searching for the answer myself right now. I’m still a bit gob smacked as to how it all happened. However, I’ll do my best to summarize it here.
So, it all started off with my CV. Unbeknownst to me, I had a strong “Consulting CV” and ended up with two out of three big consulting shortlists. I’ll elucidate the CV requirements in a later section.
I then got a call from a PlaceComm around a week before Day 1 informing me of the same. Usually, companies release shortlists a day or two before Day 1, but consulting companies like to be extremely early and take their pick of the best. In fact, they actually fight amongst each other in quite a comical fashion to get the first pick, with BCG and Bain having quite the dramatic selections last year, fighting over individual candidates. If anything, LEK lost out in this battle last year. BCG and Bain were able to select their desired candidates almost a week before Day 1, while LEK was left holding the bag and had to wait until Day 1. This year, I fully expect LEK not to fall into this trap again and select their guys and gals well beforehand.
Shortly after the shortlist call, I got an email from the LEK HR representatives themselves assigning me a “buddy”. All consulting companies use this buddy system. They assign you a buddy who’s a full-time junior employee (usually fresh out of college themselves). You can talk to your buddy, ask them any questions you have, and do case prep with them. Maintain a good rapport with your buddy, and they may put in a strong word for you with their management (who finally decide whether to select you or not). However, interactions with your buddy generally are very chill and relaxed. You don’t have to worry here. Your buddy is just here to help. My buddy was extremely helpful, did 2 or 3 cases with me over the phone, and helped me with all my questions about the interview procedure.
So, after this, we’re supposed to have “buddy rounds”, where we have a supposedly non-evaluative session with some of the more senior employees. Even though they say non-evaluative, believe me, these are very evaluative. They’re effectively the actual interviews themselves. Now, for me, there was some colossal duck-up, and LEK actually completely forgot about my existence during these Day 0 rounds (Day 0 is any interview procedure before Day 1) So, I wasn’t informed about these buddy rounds. So, I actually had a sped-up version of these buddy rounds on Day 1 itself. However, I’ve heard from my fellow interns at LEK and went through a similar experience with my Bain shortlist as well (they ultimately rejected me), so I can still tell you what happens here.
Now, you usually have 2–3 interview rounds. The first one is with a manager; if you make it to the second, it’s with a partner at the firm. You can’t get in without the partner approving you. Think of him/her as the final boss. The interviews themselves could involve anything. They usually have cases or guesstimates (I will explain these below), but it could even be an ordinary discussion regarding the most random shoot. Personally, here’s how my interview rounds went:
For me, this entire interview process happened on Day 1, but usually, they conduct these a week before and informally extend offers by then. Then they make you sit for an interview on Day 1 as a technicality because they aren’t supposed to give out offers beforehand. This is so they can nab the good candidates earlier and prevent them from sitting for any other company interviews.
In general, the above-listed buddy round and interview process is a shared interview procedure among all consulting firms.
Now, the first and, honestly, the most crucial step is making a brilliant CV to even get that shortlist. Consulting shortlists are purely CV-based with no department biases (CG does matter, though, unfortunately). I’ll talk about the actual things that make an excellent consulting CV in a later section, but one thing I’ll emphasize here is that you need to put effort into getting that CV perfect, even if it means spending hours on end fixing minute formatting details on ERP’s god-awful CV platform. Imagine being stuck in never-ending traffic on your way to the mall while your movie started 10 minutes ago in the theatre. That’s how frustrating it feels to make CVs on ERP.
Now, onto post-shortlist preparation. Before that, let me just quickly explain what cases and guesstimates are. These are the most popular types of questions in consulting interviews. Guesstimates make you answer a strange question like “How many cigarettes are sold in a day in India?” and you have to walk the interviewer through your solution, segmenting things and coming up with a final answer. So, for example, in the above question, you could divide it into segments of the population that smoke, like college students, working professionals, etc. and break it down further to give a final number.
Cases are similar but are meant to emulate real-life consulting scenarios. Obviously, solving a real case takes months while you have a 20-minute interview, so they’re far simpler. There are different types of cases that you’ll learn about as you go through the prep materials, but they usually involve a vague question like “An electronics company has been facing losses recently. Figure out how to fix it.” You’ll then be expected to ask questions to the interviewer to find out more details about the company and drill down to the exact nature of the problem.
Again, if cases seem complicated, believe me, they are not, and you’ll understand quickly after looking at a few samples in the resources I’ll provide.
Anyhow, back to the shoot you were here for. While it’s advisable to learn the basics and understand how cases work beforehand, please do not spend a significant amount of time of your CDC prep on cases in the hope of a consult shortlist. Consult shortlists are few and far between and extremely variable. If you are even slightly inclined to any other role that could use some prep, I’d advise you to focus on that until you get a consult shortlist. Once you get the shortlist, however, it’s time to shift gears and chug cases!
I’ll first elucidate on the general strategy for preparing for consulting and then talk about my own personal preparation and the resources I used.
I’d divide consult prep into two broad steps:
Honestly, with enough dedication, case prep can be completed in a week or two. Hence, I advise only starting after a shortlist and doing something like CP or anything else in the meantime. Do Step 1 beforehand if you’re serious about consulting, but generally, wait until the shortlist to chug cases in Step 2.
Alright, on to actual concrete things you can start right now and resources you can look at. While there are many routes for prepping, here’s what I did:
4) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
Alright, now for the most critical part of this blog, in my opinion. Your CV is everything for consulting. You’re in if you have the right CV. So, as I mentioned earlier, if you’re serious about this, put a lot of effort into making an undeniably brilliant CV. Now, in general, consulting companies look for a sort of all-round CV that needs a “spike” in every section. Also, there’s absolutely no department bias here; all are treated as equals. So, without any further ado, let’s look at the various CV sections and the possible “spikes”:
To summarise, try to have an all-round CV with spikes in different sections that make you stand out from the crowd. Also, spend a lot of time perfecting your CV to avoid correctable grammar and formatting errors.
5) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
The main problem I faced specifically with case prep was the frustration of being unable to solve cases. Initially, as with any new task, you will struggle, but seeing friends who had started prep earlier being able to solve cases quickly kinda sucked. It’s especially hard when you know your future hangs in the balance and depends on your ability to solve cases. In the end, I just put my head down, tried to solve as many as I could and eventually got the hang of it.
Apart from this, there was the standard CDC mental trauma. CDC is a ducked-up time for one’s mind, in my experience. You go to dark places, and all you really have to hang onto are your friends who are going through the same thing. But they’re all you need anyways.
In my opinion, unless you really detest consulting and don’t want to “risk” getting offered an esteemed consulting job, apply. There’s no harm in applying; if you get shortlisted, fantastic!
I think I’ll use this medium to address two of the main talking points of CDC.
First and foremost, as I mentioned earlier, your mind goes to dark places during this time. In KGP especially, there’s this extreme pressure to get your summer sorted, and that has messed-up ramifications. I recall stressing out over not getting shortlists and just launching into obscenity-filled tirades against certain companies (some still reserve a special place of abhorrence in my heart). I remember being the most nervous I was before my first interview with Bain and even ended up vomiting just a few minutes before the interview out of stress. I also screwed up the interview, so that just piled on the pressure. But at the end of the day, I had my closest friends going through the same thing as me, and the beautiful 5-year people were always there to help out, forcing me to consume some form of nutrition on Day 1 when I had no energy remaining to give another interview. The RR sessions helped a lot too, especially once we were back on campus (Day 0 interviews were online). To summarise, everyone goes through shoot during CDC; it’s perfectly normal. But, go through it together, please. Don’t keep it to yourself. Get together and launch into tirades about annoying companies, have RR sessions about PlaceComms and the process itself, and scream away your woes; it all helps. The important thing is reaching out. On that note, if anyone has reached this far into the article and is going through something and wants to reach out to me for any questions or anything in general, feel free to mail me at rams.dude@gmail.com (don’t ask for the backstory of the mail ID, please). I’ll get in touch asap and try to help as much as I can.
The last thing I wanted to address is the “To CP or Not To CP” question that crops up in everyone’s mind. I’ll try to keep my answer brief and lay down some facts beforehand. Generally, only a few Investment Bank roles (a lot like Goldman Sachs and JPMC still require a bit of CP in their tests), consulting roles, and the rare product roles don’t require some form of programming knowledge or CP. And this year, the scenario with hiring in a lot of IBs is still up in the air. So, not doing CP is a risk. However, if you absolutely detest technical roles and do not see yourself in any sort of SDE or Analytics role, then I’d say your time is best utilised elsewhere. However, if even a slight part of you doesn’t mind this kind of a role, CP is a vast safety net if the other options don’t work out. Also, always keep in mind that there’s a substantial off-campus world out there, too, even larger than the on-campus world, to be honest. It just needs a little searching (both LinkedIn and soul searching).
All the best, guys!

Hello, I’m Mayank Agarwal, a fourth-year undergraduate student of Mathematics and Computing at IIT Kharagpur. I’ll be interning at Morgan Stanley in its Strats and Quant role.
2) How did you get into Morgan Stanley? What was the selection procedure?
I got into Morgan Stanley via the on-campus hiring organized by the Career Development Centre, IIT Kharagpur.
Morgan Stanley had an online test that consisted of four sections — Aptitude, English, Finance, and Coding. Each section was around thirty minutes long.
The Aptitude section had questions on probability, mathematical reasoning, puzzles, etc. A lot of questions were there to be solved in significantly less time. The English section was an SVAR test that analyzed our hearing, speaking, and overall proficiency in the English language. The Finance section had questions that were new to me, so I had to make a lot of guesses. There were two questions in the coding section on Binary Search and Dynamic Programming, which were pretty straightforward.
Morgan Stanley shortlisted ten students for the interviews. There were three rounds. In the first round, I was asked many questions on probability and puzzles. In the second round, I was again tested a bit on probability, and then he asked me two coding questions — binary search on a matrix and DFS on trees. The interviewer seemed to be in a hurry and was interested in the most optimal solution only. Lastly, in the HR round, we discussed my projects. She also asked me a few situational questions.
Finally, two students were given the Internship offer.
I had started giving contests on Codeforces and CodeChef in my second year and solved the programming questions on Interviewbit in the months leading to the internship tests. The online test can seem lengthy, and I recommend giving each section equal importance.
For the interviews, you should revise basic probability and statistics. You should solve the ‘top 100 puzzles asked in interviews’ from GFG as they are asked directly(in other companies’ interviews as well). Interviewbit should be enough for the coding questions. Prepare your CV well; you can expect a lot of questions on it. For the situational questions, try to give cases and be as elaborate as possible. Regarding your project, you should know what you have done and present it confidently. The topic of the project doesn’t matter much.
I hadn’t prepared finance for the tests or the interviews, so I couldn’t answer many questions in the test. Thankfully, it was not an issue during my interviews, as nothing was asked related to it. Companies often say that knowledge of finance is optional; however, having information about the basic concepts can be a plus.
During my first round of interview, I was asked to solve a question on probability using a specific concept that I didn’t know. It’s okay to not know stuff. You are not expected to know everything. The interviewers are helpful. He explained it to me and gave me another question which I answered.
Anybody who likes coding and working with numbers should apply for this job. Interest in finance is not a must, and it shall come gradually.
Make the best use of the vacation. Plan accordingly to prepare your best. Give contests on sites like Codeforces to stay in the groove for your coding tests, as speed is a significant factor. Think out loud during the interviews so the interviewer may guide you if you’re stuck. Be thorough with your CV to be able to explain anything written on it.
Having a project on your CV definitely helps. It can become a great point of discussion. You can also mention your achievements in coding competitions like Kickstart, Hackerrank, etc.
The whole process can be hectic. Make sure you eat and sleep properly. You can always reach out to me for any queries.
Best of Luck, guys!

Hello, I am Jaya Kediya. I am a fourth year undergraduate enrolled in the 5-year integrated M.Sc. Course of Mathematics and Computing. I was born and brought up in Varanasi and have done most of my schooling from a boarding school in Dehradun. I enjoy solving puzzles, debating, reading, and talking about a lot of things in general, so feel free to ping me anytime :))
2)How did you get into Morgan Stanley? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure included one online test and then interviews on Day 1 itself.
The online test had four major sections. The first was aptitude+ quant- it mostly had questions based on probability, puzzles, logical reasoning and some basic trigonometry. The second section was English — it had comprehension-based questions, basic grammar questions and also tested one’s listening and speaking skills. The third section was on finance and the fourth was coding. The coding section had two questions, which were different for every candidate. Usually one question was very easy and basic ( for eg. Finding GCD of an array ) and the other question was medium to hard (eg. Resource Allocation Problem, DP etc)
Doing well in three out of four sections and having a good CGPA is enough to get one shortlisted for the interviews.
There were a total of three rounds for the interviews — 2 technical and 1 HR.
The first round began with questions based on CV. Being well prepared about all projects / interns that you have done is necessary here. The interviewer asks some questions based on any one project / internship in detail. So, it’s important to know what exactly you worked on and how it was impactful. After CV based questions, the interviewer asked a few CP questions — which ranged from medium to hard. Most of these were similar to leetcode and interviewbit questions. I was asked a few questions on trees, dynamic programming and arrays. After this, the interviewer asked a few puzzles and once he was satisfied with my performance, asked me to wait in the meeting for the second round.
The second round was slightly more tough and more quant focused. It was also a pressure test to see how one survives under pressure when asked multiple questions rapidly. There were around 8–9 questions asked in rapid fire format- as in, the interviewer wanted answers very quick. The questions ranged from probability questions to some hard puzzles. There were a lot of questions on distributions, expectations etc. I was also asked to prove a question based on geometric distributions and derive a result.
After the second round was over, I was immediately sent to the HR round. Here, the HR asked some situational questions (eg, I was asked about a time where I have resolved a conflict in a group). The main focus is to judge whether you’re someone who is comfortable working with teams and have a collaborative and amicable nature. At the same time, they also try and get an idea about your personality and ensure you’ll be a good fit for the firm culture.
Soon after the HR round ended, I received a call regarding the offer.
For the entire process, two things must be focused upon
Given that I hadn’t done a lot of CP beforehand, the biggest challenge for me was to up my skills in that area in the summer before the CDC internship drive. One thing that helped get a quick and good grasp of concepts was Algozenith videos. They’re structured in a way that makes it easier to do well in a shorter time frame, so I’d definitely recommend that for those who haven’t been doing CP for 6 months or so already.
Other than that, other challenges are getting good at thinking through puzzles. Initially, approaches to some probability questions/ puzzles might not strike as quickly, but it’s all about practice, so one should practice as many questions as possible.
The key is to be confident in your abilities and have a good set of friends who can help you get through the process.
5) According to you, who should ideally apply for this job
Anyone who is interested in coding, prob-stats and quant/math in general and has an inclination or interest in finance should apply for this internship. You don’t necessarily need to have much finance knowledge since this is a more quant role than finance, so don’t worry if you aren’t preparing for finance profile. There was no finance asked in the interview rounds at all.
Also, remember that this is just one part of life, and don’t be too harsh on yourself. Take care of your health, nothing is worth sacrificing on that, and give it your best shot. All the very best :))
7) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like tomake?)
Mention any accolades that you have academically and all projects and internships you have done in the past. Also make sure to be thorough with each of them, you should know what exactly your role was and what your work entailed in detail. Morgan Stanley also places some weightage on CGPA, so try and maintain a good CGPA. They also pay some importance to co-curriculars etc so it’s good to mention a few on your CV since that helps them get an idea of your personality.
Don’t stress too much about the CV though, firms like MS have a stronger emphasis on getting to know your skills based on questions and the test, so CV doesn’t become as important. Build your CV well, get it reviewed by seniors and focus more on the prep for tests and interviews.

My name is Priyansha Gupta. I am a pre-final undergraduate student of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences enrolled in its 5-year Integrated M.Sc. Economics program. I am also pursuing a minor in Mathematics and Computing. I am a boarder of Mother Teresa Hall of Residence. I am from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. Talking about my previous experience, I have previously interned at Godrej Capital on a research project in the Unsecured Business Loans division. I also did an internship at ISB at the Centre of Analytical Finance. I held the position of UG Department Representative for the session 2022-23.
2. How did you get into Morgan Stanley? What was the selection procedure?
I was interested in going into my core. So, the best option for me was Investment Banking or finance, as we call it in KGP. But broadly, I applied for Consult, Finance and Analytics.
Talking about the selection procedure, there was a test. The test had 7 sections, as I remember. The test duration was around two and a half hours. The sections were Mental Ability, Mathematics or Probability and Statistics, English, Finance, Speaking, Listening and Coding. Mental Ability and Maths questions were of easy level. English could be a little difficult as they asked for Synonyms, Antonyms and those kinds of things, but the paragraph-based questions can be solved easily. In finance, there were 15 questions in 15 minutes, so it was more about speed. Speaking test is like we must read some sentences in a given time with proper pronunciation, and in 1 question, I had to talk about a given topic for 45 seconds. They gave me 10 seconds to think about it, so it was just about quick thinking and speaking properly. In the Listening test, there will be an audio clip and then questions based on them, so we must listen properly and remember because the audio cannot be played again. Coding questions were implementation based and of easy level; if we practice DSA properly, they can be solved. Coding questions might help increase the overall score but are not counted in Sales in Trading profile as such. For shortlisting, they consider the test score, CG and CV as well. They shortlisted people with CG above 9 and who had some background in finance (related interns or projects). The interview consisted of 3 rounds. The first 2 were technical; they asked a lot of questions related to interns and projects and specific finance questions related to them. They asked some general finance questions as well. Be updated on the latest finance and business news around the world. You should also be thorough with any finance concept included in your CV related to any intern or project. The HR round is also quite crucial, in my opinion. Quick thinking is required if any situation-based question is asked, and instead of one-way answering, interacting with the HR helps.
For Mathematics/Probability and Statistics, practice from 50 Challenging problems in Probability, heard on the Street and Brainstellar might also help. For finance, they asked questions about many concepts, so brushing up on basic concepts by reading from Investopedia, Zerodha and CFA materials will help. Obviously, all of the finance cannot be covered, so at least remembering the basics and the basic formulas will help. As far as I remember, most of the questions were about financial ratios. For the speaking and listening test, no preparation is required as such, but watching some English movies without subtitles could be a good practice, XD. Doing basic to intermediate-level DSA problems from GFG or Leetcode should be enough for Coding questions. CP per se is not required. Guesstimates were not asked in my interview, but they could be asked, so it would be better to practice a few of them. For the interview rounds, thorough knowledge of everything in the CV is necessary. The interviewers were very friendly, so if you get stuck somewhere, you can discuss it with them. The interview goes very smoothly if we keep talking to the interviewer instead of doing it as a Q&A. Being updated with the business and financial news is required, so reading financial news one month beforehand will help.
4. What difficulties did you face while preparing for this company/profile? How did you overcome this problem?
One of the biggest difficulties for me was that I did not have any PORs required for both finance and consulting. Morgan Stanley came for intern for the first time this year to campus. It never came before, so there was no company-specific preparation. I could not just go and get a POR in 3 months while preparing for CDC, so I kept some backup options like Analytics or ML and prepared for them also. Also, maintaining a high CG helps. And I had a relevant finance background through interns and projects, so that helped too.
5. According to you, who should ideally apply for this internship?
The Sales and Trading role is purely based on fixed-income financial instruments, so people interested in hard-core finance and investment banking should apply.
I want to advise my juniors that it is better not to make CDC intern too big of a deal. I admit that is very important, but you will not get anything out of it if you are not actually learning anything or building a skill set. If you keep learning and exploring things, you will end up in a good place. It is just a very good opportunity given to us. But it is not the end of the world too. Your learnings and skill set are the only things that will help you in the long run. Good preparation will help you in bagging an intern. But even apart from CDC, there are tons of opportunities out there. You just have to keep exploring to find the role which excites you. Also, it is better to apply for roles you are actually interested in, instead of just running to get an internship anywhere.
Prepare well for your internship. Be confident in yourself; having the appropriate know-how helps in building up confidence. Do smart-work instead of hard work; goal-oriented preparation always helps as long as you are learning and enjoying the process. Like I said before, keeping a high CG will always help in any profile you sit for. Finance companies take people from all departments, so the department is not a barrier. Having some relevant PORs might also help, but running for PORs just for the sake of getting an internship will only be a waste of time. Just keep an open mind and prepare well. I wish you all the very best for your upcoming internship season. You can reach out for any more queries. I would be more than happy to help.

1) Brief IntroductionHi, my name is Shrinivas Khiste. I am a fourth year undergraduate student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering enrolled in its Dual Degree Programme. I am from Aurangabad, Maharashtra. For my internship, I had prepared for ML and Software roles. I had received an offer from Google and NK Securities. I chose NK over Google because the opportunity to learn at NK would be much more and if I wanted to shift to software roles later, I could do that too. You can contact me if you are interested in ML opportunities too. In CDC, I think the best role is the one from Adobe for ML. Microsoft is good too but there is a gender bias there.
2) How did you get into NK Securities / Google ? What was the selection procedure?NK Securities: First there was a coding round that consisted of 2 questions with medium level CP problems. First question was an application of STL and the other was on Tree DP. Then during CDC Day 1 there were 2 interiew rounds, each lasting for about an hour. Both the rounds consisted of questions on CP, C++ Concepts, Maths Puzzles (with questions on probability) with increased difficulty in the second round. There was no HR round.
Google: Google also started with a coding round with 2 questions. They had a time duration between which you could give the test anytime. The questions are sampled from a question bank. One question was easy and the other one more difficult. Google generally asks questions on DP and graphs. Then there were 2 rounds of interview. Interview rounds of Google are generally very easy. Both the rounds had basic question of STL in my case. But they do ask DP and Graphs sometimes. There was no HR round.
3) How to prepare for them?For CP, I had taken the Algozenith course and solved Interview Bit problems. If you do not wish to take any course, then you can solve leet code problems and complete the Interview ladder. Codeforces contests are helpful to increase speed and debugging skills but the type of questions asked in coding rounds and CF contests differ a lot. C++ concepts can be revised by referring to the OOPs, OS slides from the course taught in KGP. They have sufficient detail if not more. GFG blogs can also be useful if you do not understand any concepts. The Algozenith course also covers these concepts well.For maths puzzles, questions from Brainstellar (upto medium level) and Heard on the street should be enough. Questions on probability are generally based on Expected Value calculations, Bayes theorem, etc. (Not on probability distribution). Questions on these can be found on GFG ( and Algozenith again :P).
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem? I think the major barrier is practising CP. It can be disheartening sometimes as you are unable to solve problems initially. A good peer group where you can discuss problems can help. CP is a skill that comes with practise and a lot of it. Do not give up, you will eventually get better at it.
5) According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?NK: Someone interested in core computer science concepts can consider applying for the systems roles at HFTs. For quant roles, people interested in maths, probability, ML can apply. HFTs are a high effort, high reward kind of job. So you should be ready for this kind of work. If you are confused between Software and HFT roles you should try HFTs (except for maybe Glean, Rubrik) as you will be able to learn a lot more here and shifting to a software role later will be easier too. Google: After the top software startups (Glean, Rubrik), Google is the best choice for a software role.
6) Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year.Stay confident and believe in yourself. Try to be interactive during interviews and do not panic. You can take a short break, maybe drink some water if you loose your calm. Regarding tips during preparation, we all practise CP. But some companies ask some extra things like APT ask implementation of Data Structures you learnt in Algo 1, Nutanix asks questions on Binary Trees, Linked Lists, etc and some other companies do too. For Google prepare DP and Graph well. Keep some time just before the interviews to revise concepts specific to companies you will be interviewing for.
7) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?)Some important things to mention in the CV are CF Ratings, Kickstart Ranks or any other coding competitions. I did not have very good ranks but these will matter during selections in other HFTs too. Apart from them you should have one project that you can talk about. CSE students can add their course projects too.
Here is my resume (I was preparing for ML roles too hence this not how a typical software role resume will look like (you do not need such projects in your resume for software roles)).

My name is Anshul Jadhav. I’m a pre-final year undergraduate student enrolled in the dual degree course of the Department of Metallurgy and material science with a specialization in the Financial Programme. I got an Internship at Nomura in the Global Markets division and will join them around May this year.
2) How did you get into Nomura? What was the selection procedure?
So I was shortlisted for 2 Nomura analyst profiles(Global Markets and Wholesale Banking). Nomura Global markets had a CV screening round, after which we were directly called for Group Discussion. Both profiles had two interview rounds followed by an HR round. Across the two rounds, you meet with people with varied seniority ranging from 5 years to 15 years of experience. Usually, 1 or 2 of them are KGP alums. Each round was a mix of both domains and HR(convincing them why that particular profile mainly). Each round lasted from 30–40 mins. Then, the standard HR round at last after you clear previous rounds.
Both interviews had questions from my internship experience, probability, puzzles, basic finance, derivatives, bonds, pricing models, etc. The discussion can be finance-centric if you have relevant experience; otherwise, they check your problem-solving skills and how quickly you can learn and apply them. There were some questions from Python. Other rounds had questions from economics, various portfolio optimization techniques, investment strategies, and financial statements. A common question in all the rounds for both profiles was: Why do you want to go into finance? Why Global Markets? These were some of the most important questions in all the rounds, and hence you need to convince the interviewer absolutely, why you are the best fit for the role!
One should start company-specific preparation at least 4 to 5 days before day 1. For Nomura, I got the information about the shortlists two days before the interview for both profiles. I focussed specifically on my CV. I interned at a financial services company(Motilal Oswal Financial Services). So I kept in mind to go through all the concepts on my CV related to that. Revising economics and basic finance concepts, I couldn’t do a lot because of time constraints. My specific focus was on getting the basics revised.
I prepared for the HR round well on the last day as they played an essential role in non-tech or management trainee roles. You should know about the company’s business to a good extent, what they do and how they make money. These questions are usually asked for such roles. Your interest and efforts in joining them are one of the most important aspects they evaluate apart from domain knowledge.
For pre-final year students, deciding on the profile you want to pursue is the first thing you should focus on. Talking specifically about Analytics, product, consulting, or finance, you have your specific preparation for each of them. I had decided in my 2nd year onwards that I would only try for a finance role as that is what I was interested in. There are some generic preparation materials for quant, like the 50 challenging problems in probability, Heard on the Street, and Brainstellar puzzles are a gem of resources. It would be best if you prepared them well. Most of the questions will be asked from them, specifically for quantitative, finance & analytics roles.
For finance, if you have done any certification or competition (CFA, FRM, etc.), those things are usually discussed in all rounds. Specific resources would involve CFA level 1 or the finance-related courses offered by VGSOM, IIT KHARAGPUR. Try getting research projects in this domain at VGSOM, ISB, IIMs, or other foreign universities. Internships in this domain will give you an edge in the CV screening round and a good amount of details to discuss during the interview. I can say for Nomura with certainty that having a finance background helps in CV screening rounds, but after that everyone(Finance and Non-finance background) stands an equal chance of getting through depending on how you take the interview ahead and convincing them why you should be there. You should try to capitalize on your strength that is relevant to the domain. There was a situation during one of the rounds where I mentioned I am pretty well-versed in current affairs related to macroeconomics, following which they asked me 5–6 rapid 3–4 digits multiplication questions, and they expected a quick correct response. Thus I would say being true to your preparation is very important.
The role is one of the few roles which is focused majorly on finance, especially for the companies which come on day 1 of the CDC internship. So anyone firm about their decision to enter into a finance role should apply for this job.
These 4 things should be in your mind:
1)Always ask the interviewer for a hint if you are stuck. Solving a problem entirely new for you with hints can have a more significant impact than answering something you know directly without hints.
2)Prepare for HR rounds properly if you are targeting Non-Tech roles, mainly defending why you decided to go for that role. Attend the PPTs for Non-Tech roles if you are targeting them and read their job descriptions thoroughly, it brings clarity to your answers.
3)The Internship process is very random. People may get into roles they don’t want or are not being paid according to their expectations. I have seen it with my seniors as well as my batchmates. You can apply for off-campus opportunities if you don’t get into one of the roles of your preference. You have six or seven months before you join your company; there’s sufficient time. Try to maintain your calm and schedule. It can be frustrating at times but trust your preparation. Believe in yourself and everything eventually, will go in the right direction
4)Saying NO is always a better option than answering absolutely wrong answers, and it will not hurt your overall evaluation believe me. This is what I have experienced.
7) Kindly attach your resume. What are some of the major points that would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?)
Major Points
1) Corporate internship in a well-known Financial Services Company
2) Research internship in one of the Top 10 Management schools in India
3) Being a student with a specialization in Financial Program
4) Participation in finance related Competitions

Brief Introduction:My name is Nikhil Saraswat, and I am currently pursuing my B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. I am a third-year undergraduate student.
How did you get into Nutanix? What was the selection procedure?I participated in the Internship season phase – 1 by Career Development Center at IIT Kharagpur, and Nutanix visited on Day 1. I cleared the coding round and subsequent interviews and secured an internship at Nutanix.
How to prepare for them?I believe that one must focus on DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) and prepare a good CV that highlights relevant projects and experiences. To prepare for DSA, one must practice problems based on various topics such as Graphs, Dynamic Programming, Binary Search, Two-Pointer, DSU, Trie, etc. It is also essential to develop soft skills. Specifically for Nutanix, they conduct a debugging round where they give you a Python code to debug and identify the bugs. In my interview, this round was merged with the technical round.
What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?As I was preparing for the SDE (Software Development Engineer) profile, I faced challenges such as lack of confidence in weaker topics and time management. To overcome these, I joined an online course on DSA for placements and internships offered by AlgoZenith. I practiced a lot of problems on the platform and other coding platforms such as Codeforces, LeetCode, and InterviewBit. I also participated in coding contests on Codeforces and Codechef to improve my coding skills and handle pressure during coding rounds. To manage my time effectively, I allocated time for learning new concepts and problem-solving practice.
According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?I believe that anyone who wants to secure a decent internship in the SDE profile should prepare and apply for this company.
Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year?My advice to anyone who wants to secure a decent internship in the SDE profile is to practice problems based on DSA, learn soft skills, and improve communication skills.
What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?)In a CV, it is important to include prior internships, experiences, and relevant projects. Ideally, one should limit it to 3-4 projects and highlight past achievements such as ranks in coding competitions and contests. It is also essential to format the CV in a fluent and professional language.

Hello everyone! My name is Madhav Raju Nair, I am a fourth-year undergraduate student pursuing my major in electronics and electrical communication engineering along with a minor in computer science and a micro in embedded systems. I am currently working at NVIDIA, Bangalore as a summer intern in the Sys-Perf Verification team. I’m from Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
To give a brief background about myself, I have been passionate about robotics and embedded electronics since my first year as I worked on projects at Technology Robotix Society(TRS) and Areal Robotics Kharagpur(ARK). By the end of third year, after completing the department coursework till then, I was majorly interested in the fields of computer architecture and hardware security. I have previously worked under Prof. S.K.Nandy, Department of Computation and Data Sciences, IISc Bangalore on the project “FPGA simulation of a multi-core reconfigurable processor” and Prof. Debdeep Mukhopadhyay, Department of Computer Science and Engineering , IIT Kharagpur on the project “Deriving Security Constructs from Natural Language”.
2) How did you get into Nvidia? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process had 2 stages; a written exam followed by an online interview.
Written exam : To appear for the NVIDIA written exam there was a CG cut off of 8. The online exam was of one hour duration and had nearly 20 questions if I remember correctly. Needless to say, camera/microphone were to be kept on during the test and tab change/ window minimization was prevented; but luckily, navigation between sections was allowed which lets you complete easier ones first. Apart from the general aptitude questions, the test covered programming fundamentals,basic probability and statistics, and digital electronics. Most of the digital electronics questions could be answered using topics covered in the 2nd year courses + some timing/verilog.
Interview : After shortlisting, one round of online interviews was conducted. I was interviewed by a panel of 3 people and all of them were very friendly in nature. First I was asked to introduce myself and go through my CV briefly. I had a relevant project on my CV so we spent a couple of minutes discussing it. Then they moved on to questions from digital electronics most of which required a good understanding of the basics. Then a few simple programming questions were asked (in my case, about trees) in which they evidently gave importance to your approach.In some of the questions, I did not know the answer directly, but was able to discuss my thought process with them and arrive at the final soln. At last, a bunch of HR questions, why do you want to join the company, what kind of work are you expecting to do etc. were also asked.
The most important step is revising all the topics covered in 2nd-year digital electronics course; questions can be asked from basic circuits, registers, flip flops, multiplexers, PLL etc. Further, it’ll be helpful to have an understanding of computer architecture, fundamentals of Verilog and timing analysis.As for the core topics study material, I am not able to provide a centralised repo or anything; I have used kgp course material, NPTEL lectures, Open Courseware, easy-and-popular Youtube playlists for different topics.
Revising first year PDS coursework and then completing any of the DSA courses available online will be more than sufficient for the coding questions. [Rigourous practice of CP is not necessary for NVIDIA at least]. Lastly, aptitude questions, reasoning, puzzles etc can be practised from many resources available online.
According to me, for the interview prep, focusing on the basics is important as one tends to spend the most amount of time on HR prep and CV prep during those days. You just have to remember an overview of the projects and courses mentioned on your CV since most of the questions are on your understanding of the fundamentals and a detailed scrutiny of CV is not going to happen. On the other hand, if there’s a relevant project mentioned on your CV that the panel may be interested in hearing about, be prepared to talk about it and steer the discussion in a way to emphasise your individual contribution and results.
As I was targeting core profile since the beginning, NVIDIA was on top of my list. But when the CDC internship drive was nearing, I was getting a bit overwhelmed as I tried to revise a lot of the advanced concepts and memorise all the work I’d put on my cv. At this point, talking to seniors who’d previously cracked NVIDIA helped a lot as they advised me to rather focus on the basics and keep calm. Maintaining a good physical and mental condition to give the tests and interviews during/after the hectic CDC week is another challenge; it is important to not lose hope, as there’s a good chance that you will end up with a good summer intern/research project.
There’s a misconception that NVIDIA is a company for core enthusiasts, and even while working here it is mentioned quite often that it isn’t a pure core company, and they have a lot of roles where ug ece knowledge is not applicable, in addition to low-level software dev roles. If you have the slightest interest in digital design and satisfy the criteria to apply, definitely do so. NVIDIA is a world renowned company, they do offer a competitive salary and the additional perks are pretty good — so do give it a shot
→ Do not ever not apply to a good company thinking you wouldn’t get in. Sometimes they would just be looking for a person whose aptitude they like regardless of their no. of previous internships or PoRs
→ During the interview be honest while answering the questions, and do not try to fake answers. It’s usually more rewarding to go through your real thought process than panicking.
→ Keep letting your interviewer know how you’re approaching the problem in steps, continuous interaction eases the atmosphere and they even help you get to the final solution sometimes.
→ Do not let the pressure cloud your vision and judgment. As it happens, regardless of the #Day1 pressure, many amazing companies choose to come to the CDC drive later if that’s what matches with their schedule.
→ KGP summers are sultry and tiring; it is important to keep yourself hydrated and maintain a proper diet.
If anyone would like to discuss any CDC related matter that you think I might be able to help with, you can reach out to me at — https://www.linkedin.com/in/madhav-raju-nair-339b8754/
→ Be it coursework, projects or internships write them in the order of how confident you are about them! highlight/bold sentences you’d like recruiters to notice.
→ Any research/experience is good experience even if it isn’t exactly matching with the job role. As I already mentioned, in case of NVIDIA, your knowledge in the subject is way more important than the density of your CV.
→ if there are relevant projects, prepare small 2 min paragraphs on them; you will mostly be asked to ‘briefly’ explain them. You should be able to give a good summary without getting lost in the details.

Hello, my name is Srikar Gidugu. I’m from the ECE department. I am from Hyderabad, Telangana.
2 : How did you get into Nvidia? What was the selection procedure?
The first round was a written test that had 21 questions, and it had to be submitted in an hour. The first 7 questions were on Digital Electronics, focusing mainly on counters and flip-flops. The next 7 questions covered the basics of programming, and the last 7 questions were on aptitude.
The paper was logical and straightforward. Navigation was allowed in the exam, so you could choose which section to attempt first according to your strengths.
The second stage was an interview. Mine was the first interview. There were 3 interviewers and all of them were very friendly. It started with a general introduction, and they asked me about the topics I was comfortable with. The first interviewer asked 2 very basic questions on combinational logic and multiplexers. Then they asked me 2 questions about aptitude, one of which I already knew. The last question was a simple programming question for which I had to just give the logic. The whole interview was also filled with general talks about games and graphics. They also asked why I would like to join the company and how it would benefit me. The panel was very friendly and helpful wherever I got stuck.
4 : How to prepare for them?
Start with revising the basics of digital electronics taught in 2nd year. Questions on building gates using multiplexers and the basics of flip flops and counters were asked. Once confident with these, learning Static Time Analysis and the basics of Verilog would be helpful but not necessary. When asked, I clearly said that these were not covered in our course, and I did not have much idea about them; the panel moved to ask questions on the topics I knew and was comfortable with. The questions on programming can be solved from the topics taught in PDS in the first year. I found the lectures of Neso Academy to be helpful for quick revision before the interview and the exam.
5 : What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
I did not face any difficulties during the procedure. I would advise you to stay cool and confident during the exam and not panic. The questions were logical and could be solved if you gave it a good thought. Also, I would suggest you to focus on the basics and be very clear with them before moving on to higher-level topics.
6 : According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
Anyone who is very much interested in Digital Electronics and would love to know Digital design would enjoy the work. Also, anyone with good aptitude and who isn’t sure about their profile can give it a shot, as it would not take much time to prepare.
7 : Any specific advice you want to give to the junta sitting for internships this year?
Understand that CDC can be very chaotic at times, and do not let it affect you. Stay in touch with your friends and take good care of them. Stay confident and hopeful throughout the process.
During the interviews, make sure you voice your thoughts, as the interviewer will know the direction in which you are thinking and will help you if you are stuck. The procedure is more important than the final answer; hence, don’t be silent. Let them know your hobbies and interests and how the specific company aligns with them. Keep learning throughout the process.
8 : What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
They did not focus much on my CV until I pointed out a fact that was written in it. I did not have any previous internships or projects. I mentioned a few PORs that I had. You can mention some quick projects to be on the safe side, although it isn’t mandatory. Good interaction and genuine interest in the company were more important than the CV.

Hello! I am Gautam Singla, a fourth-year undergraduate studying Mathematics and Computing at IIT Kharagpur. I will intern at Oracle in the Summer of 2023 as a Server Technology Intern. This blog is about my preparation and experience of coding rounds and interviews in the CDC Internship Process 2022–23.I was shortlisted for two companies on day 2 for interviews. These were Intuit and Oracle.
2) How did you get into Oracle? What was the selection procedure?
Oracle conducts one online test consisting of many MCQs from every topic: Data structures, Mathematics, Reasoning, and English. It was a 2-hour long test. Questions were not too hard if you know about these topics (B-Tree, AVL Tree).
Some students are shortlisted based on the above test, and CGPA plays a role in shortlisting for the interviews. After being shortlisted for interviews, they generally conduct three rounds, consisting of two technical rounds and one hr round. But I was one of the last students they interviewed, so there were three technical rounds for me. In the last round, the interviewer in the starting itself told me that they were expecting answers to all the questions.
The primary skill needed for someone sitting for an SDE role is Competitive Programming. I have done the Algozenith course AZ-201, which helped cover all the topics in detail.
I have given leet code contests regularly. You must also upsolve problems that you were not able to solve during contests. Upsolving is important to improve your problem-solving skills. Don’t just read the editorial; try to implement the solution yourself.
Solving a lot of problems will improve your implementation skills which are important because if you write buggy codes during the coding rounds, you will not have enough time to debug your code even if your logic is correct. Also, if you have solved many problems, most coding round questions will seem familiar, and you will not have to spend much time thinking about the solution.
Also, keep giving contests organized by Google and Facebook, such as Kickstart and HackerCup. You can use the ranks obtained in these contests in your CV. I have also mentioned my Google Kickstart rank.
I studied Object Oriented Programming from the course slides and GeekforGeeks. I have not studied Operating Systems or DBMS, and that will not be an issue, as you can tell the interviewer if you don’t know these topics. If you have mentioned anything related to any other subject in your CV, you must know it.
Interviewer Rounds
Round 1
It was an easy round which lasted for about 40 minutes. You will be asked to introduce yourself at the start of the round. You should prepare one short introduction which summarizes your profile. After the introduction, I was asked to explain one of my projects. You should prepare for the projects mentioned in your CV. If you are not able to explain things on your resume, it has a bad impact on you. One coding question was asked based on stacks, which was an easy question.
Round 2
In this round, I was asked to introduce myself. In this round, my interviewer chose one of my projects written in my resume. So, you have to prepare for all the projects mentioned in your resume, as the interviewer can choose any random project from your resume. After that, I was asked a question from the Operating System, to which I replied that I had not studied this topic as of now. So, then they asked some questions on OOPS.
Round 3
Generally, this was a hr round, but it was also a technical round for me. At the start of the interview, I was asked if they were expecting I will answer all the questions. They have asked me if I regret anything about two rounds before this round. After that, I was asked a simple question based on DFS in graphs. I was asked two puzzles at the end of the round. I was able to answer all the questions.
Anyone who has an experience in software profile and wants to have an experience in this domain should apply for this company.
CP is very important. Start as early as possible, and I recommend doing Competitive Programming over internships/projects in your free time.
You should have three important things to write in your resume (2 projects, one internship, or three projects). Please be honest about whatever you write in your resume. The prior internship experience is good but not compulsory for grabbing an offer in CDC. I didn’t have any internship experience before this.

1. Brief Introduction
Hi, I’m Riddhiman Moulick, a final-year undergraduate in the Department of Electrical Engineering enrolled in its BTech Course.
2. How did you get into Oracle? What was the selection procedure?
So, Oracle had a common test for its Applications Developer and Server Technology roles. The written test consisted of multiple timed sections. These sections consisted of MCQ/paragraph questions on General Aptitude, English, some fundamental CS concepts, and DSA (with a focus on AVL trees, different tree traversals, etc.)
The interview shortlists consisted of around 12–14 candidates for each role. I had 3 rounds of interviews.
The first round started off with a few questions on probability and PnC. Each answer had a short discussion on the approach as well. Then I was given a coding question on the HackerEarth platform based on the sliding window technique. I initially coded out the brute force solution and then moved on to the optimal solution but before I could complete it the time was almost over. So, I explained the approach I had thought of, to the interviewer with which he seemed to be happy. This round took around 50 minutes.
The next round first involved a detailed discussion of the projects in my CV followed by 1 coding question and an interesting puzzle over which we had a fairly long discussion. I was also asked whether I knew DBMS to which I replied that I was only familiar with the basics. The interviewer
was fine with this and instead asked me some questions on OOPs and Data Structures. This round went on for about 45 minutes.
The last round was mostly an HR round with standard behavioral questions and only 1 coding question on recursion and some basic mathematics. This round took about 30 minutes. The interviewers were very friendly which helped in having a sense of comfort during the interview.
I personally started off a little late because of which I had to rush my preparation, so to get a good topic-wise understanding, I solved questions from InterviewBit and later on moved on to practice from Leetcode. But if you have sufficient time on your hands then definitely get as much practice as possible from CP/ regular contests as they will help you to improve your speed much more and reduce the need to think more on questions on the spot.
The major difficulty I faced was due to my late start due to which I had less time in my hand (which was also majorly due to my dilemma as to which profiles I should focus more on). During my preparation, whenever I got stuck on a topic I used to solve more questions on the same topic for which I found the bucket-wise questions in InterviewBit to be very helpful. And specifically for this profile, it is helpful to have a working knowledge of other basic CS concepts as well, for both written and interview rounds for which I had to devote time towards the end.
Anyone who is interested in getting to know and working with new technologies, likes DSA, and wants to explore Software Development can apply for this role.
The entire CDC phase is a long and mentally exhausting process. There are a lot of things that can go south even after a great preparation. Try not to get stressed out in such times and discuss whatever you feel, with whomever you are comfortable with, be it your friends or family. Keep in mind that a lot of things are beyond our control so just stay calm and give it your best!
7. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile? (any specific suggestions you would like to make?
Having previous projects or internships gives you control over the topic during the CV discussion with the interviewer so be sure to highlight such points in your CV. Be thorough with all the points in your CV and give it a look before the interview as you can be asked to describe specific parts of your projects too.

Hi, my name is Pratik Koranne, I’m a pre-final year undergraduate student of the Department of Chemical Engineering enrolled in its Dual Degree course.
I received an internship offer from Procter & Gamble( P&G) in the Product Supply role through CDC for the summer of 2023 and I am currently interning with them at their Hyderabad plant.
After applying through ERP, we had to apply for the role in the company’s portal as well. The first step of the selection procedure comprises online gamified assessments which consist of various types of challenges such as grid challenge, digit challenge, switch challenge, etc. There are unlimited levels and you need to get as many correct as possible. If you clear this round, you’ll get another link for an assessment that consists of behavioral and situational-type questions.
Finally, they released a shortlist of around 20 students for Group Interviews ( 3 candidates in each panel) followed by a HR round on Day 1 with further shortlisted candidates.
The psychometric test consists of general aptitude-based questions and so there isn’t much you can do to specifically prepare for them. You can have a look at basic puzzles, practice quick math, etc. My suggestion would be to attempt the test in a quiet and focused environment free from distractions. The second test consists of situational and behavioral type questions in which you have to stick to your ideology while keeping in mind the values of the company and answering the questions. I would suggest you to go through the company’s website and understand its principles and values.
The group interview consists of questions where you would be asked to cite some situations from your previous experiences( be it your internships, POR’s or academic achievements) and how you went about solving the problem at hand. The key here is to answer in a concise manner keeping in mind the CAR( Context, Action, Response) framework. The other type of questions is where they’ll ask you to assume yourselves in a particular situation and then try to find possible solutions. Remember to never cut off your fellow interviewees while they are speaking and listen carefully to their responses as well.
HR round consists of basic questions on your introduction and is a chance to interact with the interviewer on his experience in the company and also telling him about your motivation for the internship. You should always ask some questions to the interviewer here, which could be about the role, the company, or the industry in general.
The preparation for this profile varies from company to company. My interview at P&G did not focus on core engineering knowledge but was more inclined towards evaluating my decision-making abilities in various situations with a focus on cultural fit as well. However, the same is not true for other FMCG companies like HUL and ITC. My suggestion here would be to prepare some basic concepts of your engineering discipline and familiarise yourselves with a bit of supply chain knowledge in order to prepare for the profile and reach out to seniors who have interned in these companies in the past for relevant preparation advice.
The role of Product Supply offered by P&G is super diverse and typically pertains to working on various innovation-driven optimization opportunities within the company spreading across functions. The role involves techno-managerial work with an understanding of the technicalities of the industry and coming up with solutions to various challenges. Anyone who enjoys solving problems at scale, and optimizing various technicalities of the industry would be a good fit.
One of the most important things is to keep believing in yourself throughout the process. You must be clear about what you want out of this process and be specific about the roles you are targeting. Always stay connected with relevant seniors for resources/mock interviews and a group of friends preparing for similar profiles for collaborative preparation. The process of CDC can sometimes be unpredictable and uncertain, but always keep your cool and keep working.
What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like)
Projects or internships related to supply chain or industrial optimization are a plus. Also, they prefer previous techno-managerial experiences, so mentioning your POR’s on campus will give you an upper edge. Projects or competitions on environmental sustainability are also worth mentioning.

Hello Everyone, I’m Sai Kalyan Meghavath, a 3rd-year undergraduate student of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communications Engineering enrolled in its Bachelor of Technology Course. My core interests lie in Business Strategy, Data Analytics, Venture Capital, and Product Management, and I have gained experience in these fields through various internships. Previously, I have held the PORs of the Web & Design Head at the Business Club and the Outreach Head at Developers’ Society.
2) How did you get into Piramal? What was the selection procedure?
I have secured an internship in the Business Intelligence unit of Piramal Capital Housing & Finance(also known as Piramal Finance, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Piramal Enterprises Limited) through the On-Campus internship drive organized by the Career Development Centre(CDC), IIT Kharagpur.
This role is suitable for those interested in the Data profile and looking for a corporate experience that encompasses the applications of Data Science in financial services businesses. This role is open to all departments, with a few exceptions of the degree duration (4Yr/5Yr) in specific courses.
The selection procedure is as follows:-
This answer would solely apply to this company, as Piramal had different selection criteria than other Data Companies in CDC.
To quote my case, I had a Foreign Training Internship in Time Series & Machine learning domain, which I had secured through IR Cell. I had three more self-projects(Fake News Classifier, Stock Price Prediction, and Portfolio Optimization).
These were the problems I faced mainly.
If you would like to talk to me more about this, feel free to reach out to me on my social handles

Hey, I’m Vishal Subramanyam, from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, enrolled in its B.Tech. course. I interned at Quadeye in the summer of 2023 as a systems engineer. I’m writing this post hoping my preparation strategy helps those sitting for CDC better understand my journey.
Quadeye had a direct CV-based shortlisting. Unlike most companies that held CP-based programming tests as a filter, Quadeye didn’t conduct a coding round, and I was called for an interview directly.
The interview started with basic questions on common data structures like linked lists, heaps, etc. Later we progressed towards implementing basic algorithms such as binary search, where I had to write C++ code and discuss various edge cases. I then had to answer a few questions on object-oriented programming in C++ about how things like virtual functions are implemented in C++. I was also asked about modern revisions to the C++ standard and new features in recent versions. After that, there was an HR round that was simply a conversation about the company and the things I knew about it.
My CS courses, such as Algorithms 1 and Software Engineering, were greatly helpful in setting the base. Apart from this, I studied C++ separately since that wasn’t a skill one usually learns from competitive programming. I used textbooks like C++ Primer and Effective Modern C++ for this. I also used to spend time reading the source code of different open-source projects to get a feel for real-world code since this is not something that you usually get from coursework.
Apart from this, I did the usual CP preparation that everyone else did, using sites such as Codeforces and InterviewBit. Although this helped me attempt the coding tests for other companies, my competitive programming skills were not tested during the Quadeye interview. So how should an interested candidate prepare for Quadeye, assuming they’re done hedging their bets by doing CP for other companies?
If you have a deep fascination for the inner workings of computers and are constantly driven by curiosity to explore implementation-level intricacies, such as the internals of your operating system and how networking protocols function, consider applying.
HFTs, in general, are a bit different in how they select interns compared to companies that usually come for software-related profiles. My company, Quadeye, cares a lot about one’s CS fundamentals, and minimal emphasis is placed on competitive programming skills. As far as I’ve seen, a student’s Codeforces or Codechef rating is not even considered. I didn’t do CP intensely; my low Codeforces rating backs that. This is not to say that other companies don’t focus on CP ratings and tests. Anyone reading this post should take coding tests seriously and prepare for them using resources such as Leetcode, InterviewBit, CSES, Grimoire of Code contests, etc., since it is wiser to hedge your bets across multiple companies.
So what exactly do these companies want? They want students with high CGPAs from departments like CS, MnC, and ECE since they believe this is a good indicator of the intern’s ability to perform well at the job. Having a CGPA above 9 is a must.
This might be disappointing to interested candidates from other departments who might be interested, but it is what it is. Assuming you’ve passed this primary filter, the company then wants you to be someone who can muck around with low-level implementation details instead of only being able to import libraries and use high-level APIs and function calls since anyone can do that.
I won’t be giving advice that is already common knowledge at this point. Instead, I will use this space to remind the readers that the CDC internship season shouldn’t be a toxic rat race and a measure for determining your worth. I know how pervasive the culture of propping up those who get high-paying offers is and how it can affect the psyche and goals of those who don’t get them. Companies hire and fire based on their needs, and it might not be an accurate measure of someone’s skills. This season is meant to be an interface between the industry and the student population to get a taste of the real world, and it should be viewed as such.

Hello, I am Rajas, a fourth year undergraduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
A high CGPA, a well-prepared CV and a CS major played an important role in getting shortlisted for the interviews as Quadeye did not conduct any coding rounds. Selection involved 4–5 rounds of technical interviews which started with simple CP problems and basic CS concepts (OOPS) and moved onto complex CP problems and intermediate CS concepts involving Networks, Computer Architecture and Operating Systems (OS).
Practice CP questions to hone your algorithmic skills since they ask such questions in every technical interview. Moreover, it is important to have in-depth knowledge about CS concepts. OOPS, Networks and OS are very important for Dual Degree students.
B.Tech students need to focus on OOPS. Networks and OS would be an added plus point (not necessary, if you lack time, don’t study them).
CP does not come easily to a lot of people, including me. Practice is the only way to get across this hurdle. There is no other way. CS concepts can get tricky at times. I cleared them using standard CS books (CLRS for algorithms, Hennessy-Patterson for Computer Organization) whenever necessary. In most of the cases, course slides were sufficient
CS people with a high CGPA and interest in System Design
Do CP first and everything else later. Do NOT forget to do InterviewBit (especially the harder problems which carry more points, DP and Graphs being top priority in that order). For people aiming to get into Software roles, OOPS is a must. Do NOT write things in your CV which you can’t explain to the interviewers.
Specific Points to mention in CV:

I am Suryam Arnav Kalra, 4th year Undergraduate student in the department of Computer Science and Engineering enrolled in its dual degree programme. I have a knack for solving mathematical puzzles and love doing competitive programming whenever I get time. Apart from this, I am an avid lover of mountains and love exploring nature’s beauty.
The selection procedure has the following steps:
One of the major difficulties I faced while preparing was actually finding the clever and short method to solve the puzzles they ask. One is you go the long way to solve the problem and other is finding the critical observation which converts the daunting problem into an easy one. To overcome this, I mostly sat with my friend Kunal Singh and he helped me with taking lots of mock interviews where he would ask me a random puzzle and helped me reach the most optimal solution through well thought out hints by him.
An ideal student for this role is the one who is not afraid of new problems thrown at him and loves to tackle challenges. The candidate should be quick in arriving at solutions mostly intuitively. He/she should have a very deep understanding of the concepts as the questions get more and more tricky and conceptual.
Prepare Object Oriented Programming as a first step along with the fundamentals of Operating Systems. These are the main areas where candidates get stuck as they are not able to answer the factual questions asked in these topics.
Competitive Programming questions of around 1600 to 1800 codeforces rating should be practised daily and each and every contest should be given.
Try and solve as many probability questions along with puzzles to develop an innate mindset of how to target them.

My name is Shrey Thakkar and I’m a 4th year dual degree student in the department of Electronics and Electrical Communication.
2) How did you get into Qualcomm? What was the selection procedure?
Qualcomm came on day-3 of CDC internship drive. The selection procedure was very straightforward. A test followed by a couple of interview rounds. The test contained 2 sections, aptitude and profile-specific. I applied for the Machine Learning profile. Aptitude section was not very difficult. In the Machine Learning section, there were some C/C++ questions and ML-DL algorithm based questions. There were two interview rounds: Technical and HR. Technical round was mostly CV based. There were some basic DSA questions and puzzles too.
To prepare for this profile in Qualcomm, one must be thorough with the basics: Data Structures and Algorithms and Machine Learning algorithms. Prob-stats usually help in any Data oriented profile and it is a must if you’re targeting it. Solve standard puzzles and probability questions from books like 50 Challenging Problems and Heard on the Street etc. For ML-DL, Andrew NG courses are mostly sufficient. It’s important to have a few good projects in ML as most of the questions in your interview are from your CV.
I had some difficulties in my technical interview. The interviewer started asking me some difficult CP level questions which I was not very comfortable with. I gently told him that my knowledge in DSA was limited and my core interest was in deep learning. So he started grilling me on ML/DL and python coding. I was able to answer most of the questions there. It’s a good practice to be honest with the interviewer rather than wasting his time.
Though this role says Machine Learning intern, the work is mostly on the inference and development side. It’s an ideal role for someone with interest in different ML frameworks like PyTorch, Tensorflow etc.
One of the most important advice for people sitting in CDC: Be honest with your interviewer, try to interact. If you have doubts or confusions, ask. You’re not expected to have all the knowledge. You should show your ability to learn anything very quickly.

Hey everyone! I am Ashutosh Ghuge, a third year undergraduate student pursuing Instrumentation Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. As for my campus involvements, I was the Governor of Encore. I did my summer internship at Qube Research & Technologies, Mumbai, as a Quantitative Research Intern.
2) How did you get into QRT? What was the selection procedure?
It was the first time QRT visited IIT Kharagpur, and other IITs as well, for internships last year. It was a Day 3 company. It offered two profiles Quantitative Researcher and Quantitative Technologist, and I had applied for both as I was primarily targeting Quant and SDE.
The company shortlisted around 15 people for the interviews. There was no preliminary test, so the shortlisting was mostly based on department (Circuitual + Economics) and CGPA. There were three rounds of interviews.
The first round started off with a casual conversation about my interests in Machine Learning, followed by a few questions on the methods and evaluation metrics of Regression. The second round was a follow-up on the topics discussed in the first round, some basic problems to test my coding skills, and a brief discussion about a project on my CV. The final round was supposed to be an HR round but was more of a semi-technical round where a mix of HR and Machine Learning questions were asked.
3) How do I prepare for them?
For the Quantitative Research profile, a good grip on Machine Learning concepts would help, as the majority of the interview was based on that. This website (https://machinelearningmastery.com/) has a very exhaustive collection of blogs on almost all topics in machine learning and could be used as a good source for brushing up concepts.
Apart from this, from a general Quant preparation point of view, having a sound knowledge of probability and statistics will go a long way.
(A few resources to exploit: 50 Challenging Problems in Probability, BrainStellar(website), Heard on the Street)
Having finance knowledge or prior experience in the same is not a necessity, nevertheless it will definitely give you an edge.
As I mentioned earlier, QRT visited campuses for the first time for internships, so my preparation was not very company specific. I was primarily targeting SDE roles at first, but during my preparation I was inclined towards quant roles as well. While preparing for SDE roles, I used to spend hours doing DSA prep, which would get highly monotonous after a point, so brushing up on probability and doing a few brain teasers would strike a good balance. Thus, in my experience, preparing for SDE and Quant roles went quite hand-in-hand.
Generally, quant companies do not have a very strong bias towards people with prior experience with finance, so do not hold back from applying for such roles if you aren’t very well versed with finance jargon (neither was I). If you are looking for a job where you constantly have to kindle your brain and love to play around with statistics, this is definitely the place for you.
The application of deep learning in finance and quantitative trading is getting increasingly popular, so if you’ve got a knack for it, feel welcome!
Well, CDC internships is quite an interesting phase. There will be times when you’ll be questioning your life choices and wondering if you even like the field you are preparing for. Worry not; you are not alone! As good and attractive as a PPO is, internships are primarily meant for you to explore the industry a little and make clearer life choices ahead. So, as they say, it very much isn’t the “end of the road”. Off-campus holds a ton of far better opportunities. It does come at the cost of a tad bit more struggle, however I’ve seen people get the best out there.
Prep as much as you can, target at least two profiles so that you have better chances, and trust your preparation. It’ll be quite the roller-coaster so do not forget to have fun! All the best, y’all!
It is good to have a few projects/internships and coursework regarding Machine Learning on your CV. Apart from this, some software development experience will also add value, especially for the Quantitative Technologist role.
As I mentioned earlier, finance experience is not a necessity; however, if you have any, do highlight it.

Hello everyone, I am Susnata Biswas, a final year undergraduate from the Department of Electrical Engineering, enrolled in its B.Tech course. I will be interning as a Software Developer at Reliance-Jio in the summer of 2023. This blog includes my CP background, preparation strategy, and experience in CDC codingrounds & interviews. I have been a huge follower of this CDC-blog series by SWG & I’ll try to include all minor helpful details regarding the CDC internship drive at KGP, so yeah, this is going to be quite long!
2) How did you get into Reliance? What was the selection procedure?
Reliance-Jio came for the first time to hire interns. Generally, they arrive for the Placement Session only. It was a Day-5 company. So,the selection process was easy and quite straightforward. It consisted of 1 coding round and 3 rounds of interviews. All the interview rounds were based on the CV and HR-related questions.In the coding round, 2 basic questions were asked. One was related to the Pascal triangle and the other was a basic implementation of a 2-pointer. The questions are at a level of CF div2 B in the sense implementation, but not as AdHoc as generally asked in Codechef or Codeforces. Anyone with 2–3 months of good practice in Interview Bit & Leetcode can handle this.
Around 40–45 students got shortlisted for final interviews. I don’t know why they kept 3 rounds of the same type of interviews. No coding questions were asked in any of the interviews. My CV had plenty of research projects and corporate internships related to Machine Learning and Deep Learning. They continuously asked for brief descriptions of each project in each round. In the second interview, HR was quite impressed by one of my projects mentioned in my CV related to UAV path optimization with the integration of the Bees Algorithm. They went deep into it, asking how Bees Algorithms work, their drawbacks, and how the traveling salesman problem (TSP) can be modified using this. At the end of the interview, they asked whether I am interested in further pursuing this project. They always expect an optimistic answer to such a question so, if your answer is NO, then also give a diplomatic answer. The interview went very well. In the last round, they asked some general HR questions like “Why should we hire you?”, “Your weakness?”, “What qualities do you have?”and stuff like that. The last question they asked me was to name 5 products of Jio company that I was using.
Be thorough with all your DSA problem-solving skills. Interview Bit and Leetcode are possibly the best resources out there to prepare for coding rounds. Apart from coding it is essential to be familiar with your CV. You should be well-versed with what you have written in your CV. Generally, they ask you from the highlighted technical terms in your CV. Mentioning something you haven’t done yet in your CV, creates a very bad impression on the interviewer, probably resulting in exclusion from further rounds. Companies that come after day 3 generally prefer your CV and projects rather than asking tough DSA questions. Brushing up my CV helped me to
score some additional brownie points in Jio interviews. Also, I participated in CF and Atcoder contests regularly which certainly developed my problem-solving skills, but I didn’t focus a lot on those contests. Please go through this blog written by Shivansh Shukla (Graviton), a very good friend of mine, to get brief info about all the Day 1 companies.
The difficulty with preparing for a profile like SDE is not the lack of resources but it’s quite the opposite. There are too many resources to make a beginner puzzled as to where to even start. The best solution will be to focus on just one particular resource and trust it blindly and unless you can solve a good chunk of the single resource you started with, don’t look to anything else as it will confuse you more. That’s the strategy I followed and I would recommend Leetcode and solving Interview Bit for revising later on.
Anyone having good problem-solving skills and the ability to grasp things quickly, as things change fast in the software field and would need to adapt and be flexible enough to adapt to these changes.
For preparation:
● Practice CP.
● Try to learn the basics of OOPs, Computer Networks, OS, and DBMS (less important).
● Dev-related projects may help.
● POR(s) are not at all necessary.
For Interview:
● The best advice would be to stay confident and believe in yourself.
● The interviewer mainly wants to judge how well you think and approach a problem.
● It is very important that while thinking about the problem’s solution, you think out loud.
● Keep talking with the interviewer about your approach so that even if you go wrong, he can give you a hint to get you back on track.
Along with focusing on DSA, do put a heavy emphasis on one specific thing I can think of as of writing this — For many Day 1/2 SDE profiles, be good at what you do. Know as much as algorithms,languages, computer science theory, as possible. If you are going to start into the CDC process you’ll realize that it is so biased and the luck factor plays an important role here. You will not be shortlisted even after giving an overwhelming performance in the coding tests and your friend will be shortlisted easily. Just forget about all those negative thoughts and enjoy your CDC process junta. Always remember “KARMA always WORKS.”
Though I am preparing for SDE, Quant & Data profile simultaneously, I made a single CV. But you can make separate CVs for different profiles.
For Software & Quant roles, you can mention projects related to Development, core CS theoretical projects done under any professor, FT(many people do it), and Data Science. You can also mention Google Kickstart ranks (under 1000 preferable), ICPC ranks (qualified for regionals could be the golden word of your CV), in general, Codeforces (please mention you have at least >1350), and Codechef (> 4*).
For a Data profile, you can look at my CV. It is very well written. For this profile, they generally expect at least 1–2 research projects and you should have a good command of Python, DBMS, and SQL. Please mention Python libraries that you know, in your CV. Onsite foreign projects under 100 QS-ranked universities enlighten your CV for this profile especially.
In general, you can mention JEE ranks, Olympiad achievements, Skills & Expertise, PORs (must for Consultancy profile), and Extracurricular activities (must for consultancy profile) for all the profiles.

Hi, I am Atulya Sharma, a 3rd Year student from the department of Computer Science and Engineering, enrolled in its BTech program.
2) How did you get into Salesforce? What was the selection procedure?
Online Coding Round:
3 Questions
- 2 easy, 1 easy-medium (< Codeforces div 2C level)
- Did all 3 to get shortlisted for interviews
Round 1: Coding Interview
I was asked a few easy string manipulation questions to solve on an online IDE. Did all of them. Round 2: HR
A lot of questions were asked from my CV, especially from a course term project (Software Engineering Lab). I was also asked why I wanted to join Salesforce, what I knew about Salesforce, etc.
Overall I wasn’t asked anything hard. The standard of questions drop a lot after day 1 in my experience. Compared to day 1 companies I was shortlisted in, (NK Securities, Sprinklr, Nutanix), these rounds were way simpler.
For SDE profiles, one must be somewhat experienced with CP. I’d say at least reach specialist on codeforces / 4 stars on codechef. Have few projects. Won’t help with any coding rounds/ tech interviews, but could help in HR rounds if the interviewer finds them intriguing. Most of the time during the HR interview, I was just answering questions related to my project.
I wasn’t actually preparing specifically for Salesforce. I was targeting systems roles in quant firms. But yes, SDE roles for product companies were on my cards. I faced a lot of difficulty in raising my rating on codeforces, since I started CP after 4th semester (2.5 months before coding rounds). I did have some knowledge of algorithms thanks to the 3rd semester’s algorithms course. Could not really escape this problem. It just takes time. Do NOT expect to be an expert right away at CP or at anything. It takes time.
I was also really short on time to cover all topics. The only solution I had was to trim advanced topics. I completely skipped segment trees, advanced dp, tries, etc, since those are rarely asked in intern tests. These topics are asked in some companies though. (Ex: Google, sometimes in Quant firms, etc). Instead of learning new things in the nick of time, it’s better to become proficient at things one has already studied about.
I was quite slow in problem solving. As the tests are timed, this is a huge problem. I usually practiced the whole day and gave whatever contests were held at night. Doing timed contests is a sure way to develop speed.
Anyone targeting SDE roles in product companies. Also if you want to chill in your final year; Salesforce usually offers PPO at a higher rate than most other product companies, although it selects less interns from a single place (7 from KGP).
There is no vacation for you peeps :)
KGP has a lot of students sitting for internships, which means a lot of competition. Study thoroughly instead of trying to do everything, but I’m sure you are painfully aware of this after the recent end
instead of trying to do everything, but I’m sure you are painfully aware of this after the recent end semester.
Give contests regularly as mentioned before. Do interviewbit / leetcode properly to get practice. Also keep in mind that only doing CP won’t help you, since you need to have proper practice in all topics. If you don’t have any projects, it’s fine. Your first priority should be to get good enough to first clear those coding rounds.
7) Kindly attach your resume. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?
Make profile specific CVs if targeting multiple profiles. Do not try to cram everything like many do (even I did).
For ex: if you have an SDE profile, there is no use trying to write every POR you have ever got, which is not even remotely related to software, although being a member of kdag/koss/cgs etc is different, those are very worth writing in the CV imho.
Do NOT have anything on the CV which you are not sure about / not well acquainted with. In case you are asked the same thing from the CV and you are unable to answer, it is safe to assume that you will most probably be rejected. Not being able to answer something from your CV is a HUGE problem, just don’t write it in the first place.

Hey everyone, I am Shreyansh Shikhar, a fourth-year undergraduate pursuing a Master’s degree in Mathematics and computing. I will be interning with salesforce as an MTS (member of technical staff).
2. How did you get into Salesforce? What was the selection procedure?
Salesforce had just 1 round. I was asked an easy question on permutation cycles and asked a few ways in which that can be solved. I would suggest not writing CP type code in interviews. After this there were some puzzles which I was able to answer. They gave the offer just at the conclusion of the interview.
The online assessment had 3 questions of easy-medium level difficulty.
Do competitive programming and puzzles for software and quant roles. For additional resources I would highly recommend going through https://github.com/ShahjalalShohag/code-librarythis blog and resources related to it. Cv and previous experience will not be touched upon in most cases.
A large problem which I encountered was which topics to focus more on and which companies to apply for. I would suggest this as the number of tests each day for circuital folks leading the start of the CDC process gets too much. This affects both interview preparation and last minute brush ups.
If you are interested in software and want to join a product based company you can apply for this role.
One important thing I realised during the process was that it is really important to keep your composure during the period. Not getting selected in a company and an interview round going disastrously and being asked to interview for another without any gap was very new and try to prepare yourself for such an environment.
Good luck for the cdc internship.
Please remember things might look unfair to you or your motivation may waiver but if you focus on your goal you will surely achieve it.

Hey there, I’m Srijanak De! I’m a Computer Science and Engineering student enrolled in its dual degree course. I am a boarder of Rajendra Prasad Hall of Residence. I’m from Kolkata and when I’m not doing something productive (which is a lot of time), you’ll probably find me watching anime or playing soccer. That’s about it! Nice to meet you.
After resume shortlisting, the first round was a coding test. The next round for those shortlisted from the coding test was a technical interview round. For me, there was a personnel change halfway through, and the interview changed from a live coding round to a resume grilling and technical concept testing one. After some time, there was another personnel change, some non-technical questions were asked, and that was it. The entire interview lasted more than 1 and a half hours. The details of the interview are elaborated on below. After a few hours, I got a call about my selection.
In the first part of the interview, I was given a problem statement on a live coding platform. The interviewer was friendly, and he encouraged questions and clarified doubts, many of which were also hints in disguise. The problem was a practical one, and they mainly wanted to test the approach through which I arrived at the correct solution. It was based on an advanced implementation of binary search. The trick was figuring out which solution could be implemented practically with data sizes equal to any practical amount available in the real world.
I started with a naive approach, discussed why it was not practical due to time-complexity issues and then arrived at binary search. After we agreed on the algorithm, I was asked to implement and run a full working code, taking my own inputs to check for all corner cases. Once they were satisfied with my code, there was a personnel change and they moved on to the resume grilling part.
They gave me the option to choose a project/internship from my resume and elaborate on every intricate detail. They listened to it carefully, understood everything fundamentally, and there were questions and counter-questions. Based on their understanding of my work in that project, they moved ahead with some basic OOPs design choice questions like inheritance, abstraction, encapsulation, which to use in which use cases, pros and cons of different design choices, and so on. They also asked for solutions if a code base is in a different language than what is to be used for a different purpose which uses that code base. Finally, they asked what happens if two programs try to access the same file at the same time and how to write code so as not to cause any conflicts.
After the final personnel change, they asked some non-technical questions like, “State an example from your previous experiences where there was a difference of opinion between team members and what part you played in resolving it.” They also asked what the one thing was that I learned at my previous internships that I most definitely want to carry on in my future experiences. Overall, the entire interview process was enriching and enticing.
I revised my OS and OOPs concepts from my CS slides, which were all-encompassing. Geeksforgeeks also has some quick revision and common interview questions on the same, but I think the CS slides make the fundamentals much more stronger. For the coding test, CP is not needed as much as being able to solve leetcode and interviewbit hard questions. Although, CP does definitely add a certain level of confidence and ability boost.
For the live coding round, having clear DSA concepts and practising common interview questions should be enough, considering the person has enough skills to think, implement, debug, and reach the final solution of leetcode and interviewbit hard problems by himself. For the non-technical questions, just googling some common HR questions should do. All in all, a calm mind is necessary during the interview for your presence of mind to click in as that is most essential in dealing with all scenarios, even if they are unprecedented and unforeseen.
I was never a CP expert and hence I had a slow start in catching up. I talked to a bunch of my 4 year BTech friends who had their internships last year about how they dealt with this and gathered enough confidence that focussing just on mastering every topic from interviewbit and leetcode should give me a solid backbone.
Being from CS I had proper understanding of the algorithms and concepts from before so it was relatively easier to catch up on practicing enough to solve medium and hard problems by myself. Initially, when I struggled and wasted a lot of time and still couldn’t solve the hard problems, my friends advised me to spend fixed amount of time in thinking, analyze the thought, read the editorial, try implementing it, use that idea in another problem, that’s how I mastered the hard problems.
I think every single person should apply for this job, or at least aim to. Salesforce is a really versatile company and accepts interns from diverse backgrounds provided they satisfy their technical requirements.
It’s never too late to start coding, sit down, treat it like a game and keep levelling up non-stop.
What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?(any specific suggestions you would like to make?
I don’t know the metrics they use for resume shortlisting, I can only speculate. I think adding any projects or internships adds real value to the resume, no matter how small, even course projects work. Adding relevant coursework, languages, or toolkits most comfortable with is a must. Lastly, do feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn/messenger/instagram for any further doubts you may have. Happy to help!

Hello everyone, I am Aalok Agrawal, a 4th year Electrical engineering UG student at IIT Kharagpur enrolled in the dual degree course. I am a boarder of Azad Hall of Residence and I am from Jaipur, Rajasthan. I have my upcoming summer internship at Sprinklr as a product development intern.
The selection process for Sprinklr involves a coding test with three questions, two of medium difficulty and one hard, followed by three rounds of interviews, including two technical and one HR. The coding questions covered topics such as Dynamic Programming, trees, and graphs, and those who successfully solved all three questions were invited to the interview stage.
The first technical interview focused solely on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), where I was presented with questions on bit manipulation, 0–1 BFS, Binary search, and Dynamic Programming. After explaining my solutions, I was asked to code them on a Google doc to ensure my understanding of the concepts.
The second round of technical interview centered around my CV, as I had previous experience in ML and Data Science, with Mitacs and other relevant internships and projects. I was asked to code an image classifier in a language of my choice, without using any external help. I mostly wrote a pseudo-code, and the interviewer focused on the order of operations and the correctness of function names and arguments. Additionally, they asked me various questions about why I was using certain techniques, such as AdaGrad, what other gradient descent algorithms were available, why I was using softmax activation in the last layer, and why activation functions were necessary. They also asked me a few questions about matrix algebra and probability. Many people who had a software CV were asked DSA in round 2 also.
After this interview, we had a discussion about the projects and work-life at Sprinklr, which left me feeling confident about proceeding to the next round.
The third round of interviews aimed to assess my cultural fit with the company, and I had prepared by researching Sprinklr’s core values, mission, and beliefs during the 10–15 minute break between the previous round and this one. During this interview, I was asked about my strengths and weaknesses and presented with situational tasks to evaluate how I would handle real corporate situations. They also asked me about my experiences with NSS work and Mitacs.
I answered each question carefully, taking time to consider my responses, as I had been advised by seniors that Sprinklr was known for its selective HR process. After this final round, I felt confident about my chances of being offered a position, and shortly thereafter, I received a call from the CDC representative confirming my selection.
If you are interested in coding, I highly recommend dedicating significant time to practicing on Codeforces and LeetCode. Solving coding challenges within the given time frame is crucial for improving your speed and accuracy. Many of the questions on the coding tests I encountered were similar to those found on LeetCode. I personally solved around 400 questions from the well-known LeetCode sheet and also used InterviewBit in the final months of my preparation to reinforce my understanding of key concepts. To get the most out of Codeforces, I recommend
taking past contests as virtual contests. After a contest, it’s important to dedicate time to “upsolving”, and I suggest trying to solve at least CF D-level problems. For topics that need more strengthening, I suggest using tags to find related questions. And lastly, I strongly recommend taking dynamic programming seriously, as it’s an essential skill for any coding test.I will recommend Aditya Verma DP playlist on Youtube as well as Algozenith DP theory.
For those seeking to specialize in Machine Learning, I highly recommend reading the book “Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow”. This resource provides an excellent overview of almost all ML and DL concepts, and I do not recall encountering a question on an interview that was not covered in the book. I do, however, advise that readers should have a foundational understanding of ML and DL concepts before reading this book. For example, taking Andrew Ng’s ML course and the Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera (consisting of 5 courses) is highly recommended. I believe these resources cover most of the ML and DL questions one is likely to encounter in interviews.
One of the biggest challenges I faced while preparing for a software role was maintaining a consistent coding practice during the summers. However, I was fortunate to have a supportive friend who helped me stay motivated by solving coding problems together. This mutual support system helped us both to improve our coding skills and perform well in coding contests. We would often discuss our approaches to coding problems for hours, which helped me to articulate my ideas more effectively during interviews.
Additionally, I was doing a MITACS internship at the same time, which left me with limited time to code compared to my peers. To overcome this, I recommend starting preparation early, ideally in December, to gain a competitive edge by the start of summer. In my preparation, I also studied fundamental concepts such as OOPs, SQL, and OS. These concepts helped me to have a better understanding of software development principles and apply them effectively during interviews.
If you are confident with Competitive Programming and have a good understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms you must apply for this role. I think that is all Sprinklr wants and whatever additional skills you have like Web Dev or ML is just a bonus.
I suggest that applicants should not focus on a specific company but instead apply to several companies with similar backgrounds. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t receive an interview invitation from your dream company. Keep applying to other companies as you may end up in an even better one.

I am Adarsh, a 4th year undergraduate from the department of E&ECE. I am from Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. I like to play computer games, watch web series and talk with my friends.
The selection procedure consisted of multiple rounds. The initial round was a coding round, which included three questions. The first question was based on arrays and prefix sums, while the other two were related to trees, involving mathematical concepts and dp on trees. The first question was relatively easy, while the second and third questions were of medium difficulty. I was able to complete all the problems within 45 minutes, which made me hopeful of being shortlisted.
The initial shortlist included students who were able to solve all the problems. However, later on, the shortlist was extended to include the students who completed two problems completely and one problem partially. This expanded shortlist advanced to the next stage, which comprised three rounds: two technical interviews and one HR round.
In the first technical round, the interviewer began by asking whether JavaScript is pass-by-value or pass-by-reference. I honestly admitted that I could guess but did not know for sure. The interviewer acknowledged my response and then presented me with a dynamic programming problem. Although I initially struggled to grasp the problem, I provided a brute-force approach. When the interviewer requested an optimized solution (which I hadn’t considered at that moment), I asked for clarification to better understand the question. Once I comprehended the problem, I presented the optimal solution. The interviewer then asked me to open a text editor of my choice and write the code. During this process, he cross-questioned me, exploring alternative scenarios by suggesting modifications to the code. I confidently answered all the queries, and the interviewer praised my performance. However, he inquired about my knowledge of data structures. When he asked if I was familiar with segment trees, I responded affirmatively. He then posed some simple range query problems, which I successfully solved. Additionally, he specifically asked me about lazy propagation, to which I explained the logic. He further asked if I could code it without using a template, and I assured him that I could, although it might take some time. He accepted my answer, and we proceeded with the discussion, during which he shared information about the technology stack used at Sprinklr, emphasizing their focus on new technologies rather than legacy code.
In the second technical round, the interviewer began by emphasizing that the internship would be my first major project. He then proceeded to ask a problem related to topological sorting in graphs. I quickly understood the logic before he finished presenting the question and immediately recognized it as a topological sort problem. I explained the method to him, and he instructed me to write the code in my text editor. While coding, he provided guidance and pointed out any mistakes I made, allowing me to correct them. After completing the question, he presented problems related to expectation value, which surprised me since the role was for a software development engineer (SDE). Nevertheless, the problems were relatively easy, and I promptly solved them.
Following the technical interviews, there was an HR round where the interviewer asked typical HR questions, such as inquiring about my qualities and how they had aided me in the past. Additionally, she posed a situational problem based on working in a toxic environment, to which I provided a satisfactory response. After this round, my friend took my phone from my hand and sent a message inquiring about the result to the placecomm. To our delight, they replied positively.
As a dual degree student, I observed the internship phase of the B.Tech students. To gather insights, I approached a friend (Shobhit Gupta) who had received an internship offer from Sprinklr and asked about his preparation strategy. He simply said — “CP karlo ho jayega”. Taking his suggestion, I began practicing CP problems from the beginning of my third year, primarily on Codeforces. Additionally, I watched videos from AlgoZenith, a resource for learning algorithms.
Initially, I faced difficulties in solving C-level problems. To address this, I decided to complete the A2OJ Div2 C ladder, which proved to be an effective way to enhance my problem-solving skills. I finished the ladder in November. Soon after, I started participating in Codeforces contests, and by December, I achieved the Expert rating (although I was fortunate since there were two Div3 rounds during that time since to become expert in second ID it took me much more time). After completing the Div2 C ladder, I moved on to the Div2 D ladder. This ladder introduced me to various new types of problems related to algorithms and data structures that I was unfamiliar with at the time. To learn these new concepts, I relied on resources such as the cpalgorithms website and blogs on Codeforces and practiced those on cses before proceeding to codeforces. I also studied the code of highly-rated coders to understand how to implement techniques efficiently.
In January, IIT Kharagpur announced an offline semester. Initially, I did not focus much on CP due to the offline activities. However, when the COVID-19 cases surged, I returned home and resumed my practice. During the offline part of semester, I gave my time to participating in contests(I had 2IDs and I used to give contests from the ID that was lower in rating this maintained the stability) , but I couldn’t practice as intensively on campus. Once the exams were over, I returned home and began practicing more rigorously. I set a filter for problems in the range of 1800 to 2200 and worked on solving problems within that range. I continued using the strategy of two Codeforces accounts mentioned earlier, participating in contests from the account with the lower rating to maintain a stable overall rating.
Around one month before the internship tests, I was able to solve four problems in Div2 contests. Additionally, I started practicing on InterviewBit, although I couldn’t complete the platform (I had covered about half of the problems by the time the tests began). On Codeforces, my ratings were 1887 and 1869 on my first and second accounts, respectively, at the time of the tests. Overall, practicing on Codeforces significantly helped me since the platform exposes you to a wide range of problems, including those that may appear unexpectedly in tests or interviews.
I did not encounter any specific difficulties. However, I believe that if the third year had been conducted offline, it would have presented numerous challenges due to time constraints and other commitments in college.
I guess anyone who has an interest in software development and likes problem-solving.
Same advice as my friend gave to me — “CP karlo ho jayega”.
Projects are not very important. In my personal experience, the interviewer did not inquire about my projects. However, if you choose to include good projects in your CV, be prepared to be grilled on them.

Hello everyone! My name is Gaurav Malakar, and I am currently a 3rd-year undergraduate student pursuing a BTech course in Computer Science and Engineering. I am excited to share that I recently secured an internship opportunity as a Product Engineering Intern at Sprinklr, a well-known IT company. In this blog, I will walk you through my journey and provide valuable insights into the steps I took to land this internship role.
CV Submission: To apply for the position, I had to submit my CV through the ERP system. Fortunately, Sprinklr did not have an explicit CGPA cutoff, allowing a wide range of students to apply and be selected for the coding round.
Coding Test: The coding test at Sprinklr was relatively straightforward compared to other Day-1 companies. It consisted of three questions focused on Data Structures and Algorithms. Although I don’t recall the exact questions, one of them was a simple array problem, while the other two were graph-based problems. Candidates who were able to solve at least two questions successfully moved on to the next round of selection.
Interview Round-1: During this interview round, I had a pleasant experience with a friendly interviewer. After introducing myself, we moved on to the technical questions. The first question was challenging dynamic programming (DP) problem, which I tackled successfully due to my familiarity with such problems. Next, I was presented with a recursion-based question that involved implementing a JSON-like class in C++. The interviewer provided specific requirements and functions, and I was able to code them accordingly. Additionally, I faced an object-oriented programming (OOP) question where I had to design a company hierarchy using classes. The interviewer gave detailed requirements for the system and posed various questions while I worked on the solution. Throughout the interview, I maintained a continuous interaction with the interviewer and incorporated feedback into my code. All the coding in this round was done on google docs.
Interview Round-2: This round was purely based on CP. I was asked 2 questions, both of which were moderately hard. The first question was based on multisource BFS, and the second question was based on the Level Order Traversal of the Binary tree but can be optimized for special cases. In this round, the interviewer allowed me to use any IDE of my choice. The round Lasted for 45 minutes.
HR Round: The HR round was a real head-scratcher for me. The HR representative fired away with a series of questions that left me feeling like I was in the middle of a comedy skit. Here’s a breakdown of the memorable moments:
“Tell me about a hard situation in your life that you overcame.” It felt like I was in a movie, searching for that one challenging moment that tested my resilience and determination.
“Tell me what Sprinklr does.” Oh, the infamous “explain the company” question. Suddenly, my mind went blank, and I felt like I was trying to explain rocket science to a toddler. Somehow, I managed to fumble my way through it with a generous sprinkling of flattery for the tech team.
And then came the dreaded question: “Which is your favorite company?” I found myself in a tricky spot because I couldn’t simply say “Sprinklr.” This question seemed more daunting than all the complex DSA questions I faced earlier. It required me to tap into my inner politician and carefully navigate my way through the answer.
Despite the twists and turns, I somehow managed to survive the HR round with a mix of creativity, quick thinking, and perhaps a touch of luck. Life has a way of throwing curveballs at us, but it’s how we handle them that counts.
The things that you should prepare are DSA, Projects, and also OOP. Let’s check out these topics in a little more detail:-
DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms): This is the most important topic you need to prepare for. I was introduced to DSA during my Algorithms-1 course, and I also supplemented my learning with additional topics from YouTube. Many of my friends have taken the AlgoZenith course and found it very useful. However, if you already have prior knowledge of DSA, you can consider skipping AlgoZenith and learning from YouTube instead. During my preparation, I also solved problems from a website called InterviewBit, which I recommend starting around 1.5 months before coding rounds. Additionally, I regularly participated in coding contests on Codeforces.
Projects: It is highly recommended to include at least one project on your CV. In my case, I included a term project and an assignment. If you are short on time, you can also include simpler projects. However, it is important to note that lying in the project description can be risky, as interviewers may ask questions about those topics. Luckily, I wasn’t questioned about my project during my interview, but some of my friends faced extensive questioning regarding their projects. Therefore, it’s crucial to choose your projects wisely.
If you have limited knowledge beyond C++, you can still work on simple projects using Python or JavaScript. These languages are beginner-friendly, and it’s possible to complete a project in either of them within two weeks or less.
OOP (Object-Oriented Programming): I was asked one question about OOP during my interview. To prepare for this topic, I studied articles from Geeks For Geeks (GFG) and watched YouTube videos. OOP is generally considered an easier topic, and it’s common for Day-1 or Day-2 companies to ask questions about it.
Miscellaneous: In addition to the aforementioned topics, I also dedicated some time to learning puzzles, although they didn’t come in handy as much. However, some HFT (High-Frequency Trading) companies did ask puzzle questions in their interviews. To further prepare for interview rounds, I conducted mock interviews with my friends. We would select questions for each other and utilize Google Docs for coding.
I didn’t focus my preparation on any specific company. The topics I learned were commonly asked in many companies. Throughout my preparation, I encountered some challenges, such as not having a clear direction and occasionally lacking motivation during the three-month period. Fortunately, people who choose AlgoZenith, probably won’t face these issues. However, for others, I highly recommend creating a roadmap for each topic you plan to learn during your preparation. Having a roadmap was instrumental in overcoming the challenge of not having a clear path to follow.
Anyone with a passion for programming can apply for this opportunity. The company is experiencing rapid growth, making it an excellent starting point for individuals aspiring to pursue a career as a software developer.
A valuable piece of practical advice I would like to share is “Never leave your fate in someone else’s hands.” If you believe that you can bag an internship solely through the help of a friend, remember that the chances of success are quite slim. Instead, invest your energy in thorough preparation. It’s not necessary to work intensely for long hours. Instead, focus on maintaining consistency. Dedicate a moderate amount of time each day (around 5–8 hours) to studying rather than cramming for 12 hours on certain days.
Some major points to mention in your CV would be:-

Hello everyone! My name is Agnibha Sinha. I am a third year B.Tech student of the Department of Electronics & Electrical Communication Engineering. I will be interning this summer as a product engineer at Sprinklr.
There was an online test followed by 3 rounds of interview.
Online Test: The test was held on HackerEarth and had 3 coding questions which were to be solved in 90 minutes. The questions were based on sliding windows, finding cycles in graphs and a variation of DFS to partition a tree. Overall it was a good mix of easy, medium and difficult problems.
Interview Round 1: This round lasted around an hour. It started with an introduction followed by a couple of tricky questions on predicting the output. Then we moved on to standard interview questions involving binary trees and prefix sums. We were required to code on google docs and explain the solution including corner cases and optimize the space & time complexities.
Interview Round 2: The second round lasted for another hour and followed similar logistics to the first round. The questions this time were more ad hoc and observation based. A few questions were also asked on the projects on my CV.
Interview Round 3: The third round was a Culture & Talent round which lasted around 40 minutes and it included standard HR questions and brief discussion on my PORs and extracurriculars. The interviewer is really friendly and it is a fun round to talk in.
The primary skill needed for such roles is DSA as it covers both the online test and major part of the interviews. Make sure you understand all the important algorithms in depth. For practice, there are multiple free resources available. Leetcode & Interviewbit are good for getting a grasp of the standard questions. Participating in contests on Codeforces and Codechef regularly helps in improving your speed and ability to solve new problems on the spot. You may also go for paid courses like Algozenith.
In the last few days, go through a few CS fundamentals like OOPs, DBMS (You may require more knowledge on CS fundamentals if you are a dual degree student). Brush up prob stats and look at a few puzzles from Brainstellar.
For the interviews, be prepared with your CV. Look up a bit about how the company functions and its objectives. Also prepare a few standard HR questions.
During the interview, speak confidently and do not hesitate to ask the interviewer for hints. Think out loud and explain the solution as you are coding it. A few mock interviews will surely help you with this.
The major difficulty is that there are a lot of things to cover in very less time. For overcoming this, set achievable and realistic targets and prioritize important things. Another difficulty is forgetting specific topics which is where notes come in handy. Make notes yourself on topics you are not confident about and refer to them frequently. Losing focus and motivation are other issues faced which is where having a good peer group helps.
Anyone interested in the software profile can apply for this job. In case you are not specifically inclined towards any role and do not repel coding, I would suggest you to prepare DSA which is the requirement for majority of the opportunities in CDC including this role.
The entire CDC process requires you to be motivated at all times. You will find there are a lot of factors like CG, department and sometimes just luck which may go against you. Try not to worry about these things as you have no control over them. Just focus on what you have at hand and give your best. Keep in touch with your friends and family. Feel free to reach out to seniors for any advice. Do not take stress and accept things as they turn out. Above all enjoy the process!
Be honest about what you write in your CV and be ready to explain everything in it. Highlight your projects and internships if you have any. A good project makes your resume stand out and can lead your interview. If you do not have projects currently, try some self projects but only after you are confident with DSA. You can mention your ratings on competitive programming websites and ranks in different contests. PORs do not have much value in the software role but do mention them if you have them as it may be one of the talking points in the HR round. Get your CV reviewed by a few seniors and follow proper formatting. Have a draft of the content you would put on your CV before the ERP portal opens up. Making a CV on ERP directly is not the smoothest process.

Hello! My name is Ajay Yogendra. I am a 3rd year undergraduate in the department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. I will be doing my internship at Texas Instruments in the summer of 2023. I got this opportunity through the on-campus CDC internship drive.
2) What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure consisted of a CV submission, an online test, and an interview.
The test had five sections: a compulsory aptitude section and sections for each of the profiles, Analog, Digital, Embedded software, and Signal processing. Each of the sections had a mix of MCQs and numerical questions. Each section had a specified time limit, and one could not navigate between sections. Questions in the “Digital” section mainly focussed on static timing analysis, logic design, and the behavior of a given logic design under various input conditions, such as the number of clock pulses.
In the interview round, I was mainly asked about the projects mentioned in my CV. I was asked to explain the sequence of steps that I followed in each of them. Later I was asked some simple questions based on a logic design using given logic blocks. Throughout the interview, always think aloud and let the interviewer know your thought process.
I would highly recommend taking the Digital electronics course by Prof. Gautam Saha or going through his NPTEL lectures. It covers almost everything needed for the Digital profile. One can ace the selection tests by simply practicing the problems in the book by M. Morris Mano that is followed in the above course. I also recommend learning the basics of Verilog by following the lectures of Prof. Indranil Sengupta and the tutorial on asic-world.com. Using Verilog, one can implement and simulate all the digital logic elements designed in the digital electronics course. For the topics of static timing analysis, I recommend going through the second chapter on vlsi-expert.com.
Although the topics of computer architecture are not much touched upon during the selection procedure, I recommend going through the lectures of Prof. Onur Motlu (for the sake of motivation) and the book that is followed in those lectures, Introduction to Computing Systems by Yale Patt and Sanjay Patel. Those interested can also go through free courses on computer architecture in Coursera and MITOCW.
4) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
In my CV, I mentioned my work in KRSSG and a self-project based on digital electronics. During my interview, I was asked to briefly explain the steps I followed in each of them. Hence it is important to mention only those projects in the CV that one clearly understands.
5) According to you, who should ideally apply for this role?
Anyone planning to pursue a career in core electronics can apply.
The CV submission for the internship drive starts a month before the start of the autumn semester, so plan your CV preparation accordingly. During the interview, as I said before, it is essential to keep thinking out loud, i.e., letting the interviewer know your chain of thought. Remember, the interviewer is on your side! They are only trying to help you. Also, get enough rest, and stay hydrated.
All the best!

Hello, I am Tarang Sur Chaudhury, a 3rd year Btech student from the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. I received an offer from Texas Instruments for a Digital Design internship last year.
I secured this internship opportunity through the CDC campus internship drive. The selection procedure involves a screening test followed by an interview. The screening test was objective type and tested the applicants broadly on topics corresponding to the roles offered — Analog Design, Digital Design, Signal Processing, and Embedded Systems, along with a mandatory section of Aptitude type questions. One gets shortlisted for the role-specific interviews depending on their performance in the corresponding sections (and aptitude section) only. If someone applies for more than one profile, they would simply have to attempt all the sections that they applied for — and may also get shortlisted for multiple profiles. I had applied for all of them and got shortlisted for both the Digital Design and Signal Processing roles. I was offered the Digital Design internship immediately after the interview, which is why I didn’t get to appear for the Signal Processing interview. However, they might finalise the offers at the end of the day, which can result in multiple offers being made — however you may only choose a single role for your internship.
The screening test primarily focuses on judging the strength of your fundamentals. Digital Electronic Circuits (4th sem EC course) is the definitive preparatory course one needs for the Digital Design profile — would also recommend Digital Design by M. Morris Mano. The questions were mostly based on logic gates, K-Maps, simple circuits like adders and ALUs. There were some basic questions from Computer Architecture related to cache and pipelining as well.I was not very good at Signals and Systems (getting shortlisted for the Signal Processing interview was a pleasant surprise), however the questions in the test were mostly based on fundamentals like Fourier analysis of signals and LTI systems.
Guide to refer : CDC Guide for E&ECE Core companies
The interview experience was quite unique. It went on for 50 minutes, but didn’t really feel that long, and definitely didn’t feel like an “interview” — it was more like a conversation about interesting problems and how to solve them. One key takeaway for me was that the interviewer is completely ok with you having no idea about a particular question — all they want to see is how you respond to being dropped into unknown territory, how you use your existing knowledge to try to decompose this new challenge into smaller problems that you know how to solve. Even if you’re unable to make any sense of it, they provide crucial hints to steer you towards the solution, so do interact with your interviewer and illustrate your whole thought process.
What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company /Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
I am reasonably comfortable with interviews. The screening test was actually the toughest part for me. DEC was a course I thoroughly enjoyed in my 4th semester, so the questions played to my strengths. The problem is that I am bad at test taking itself, I always seem to get my time management wrong, eventually end up rushing at the end and scoring well below what I should have. I was nervous beyond measure while taking this test as well, but somehow managed to hold my nerves and was able to answer most of the questions that I knew. I expect the average JEE-qualified reader to be better than I am at taking MCQ tests, which is why I should offer some advice for the interview, since it might be a first time experience for many.The golden rule is to not let the room plunge into awkward silence. The interviewer asks a question, and you really have no clue about the solution. Standing mute in front of them for five minutes and thinking about it is not really going to help — the interviewer is unsure of whether you’re actually thinking about the problem, whether you’re just too stunned to speak or if you are daydreaming. It is okay to take your time and think, but do let the room know what you are thinking about, what is your exact approach, because the interviewer cannot read your mind. They will eventually drop a hint and guide your analysis, and might even credit your unconventional approach. Communication is key. Again, as I said previously, they don’t expect you to know everything, and they will judge you based on how you handle new challenges.
Applicants need to have a strong fundamental understanding of the domain they are applying for. Understandably, it is much easier for EC/EE people who already have completed relevant courses.
Compared to software, the number of opportunities in core is significantly less. A very lucrative option for many would be to prepare for a software profile during the summer break. However, it should not prevent anyone with a genuine love for their core subjects from applying to Texas Instruments, or even other core profiles. If I am being very honest, it does not even require one to prepare a lot in terms of actual content. All they have to do is back their strengths and be up to date with the relevant coursework.
A very real challenge for some of the candidates would be if they decided to conduct in-person interviews this time around. I think I have already talked a lot about how to deal with an interview, it’s all about having a good mindset when you walk into the room. Don’t worry so much, you got this!
Mention relevant coursework. That’s basically it — they really don’t care about PoRs or projects (I didn’t have any projects or PoRs to mention in my resume anyway — that should tell you how much they matter). Your CGPA might play a role, 8.5+ is always a bonus. You will mostly be judged on your interview performance and test results.

I’m Srimahn, a final-year undergraduate student of Economics at IIT Kharagpur. I am currently working at Trexquant as a Quantitative Research Intern.
2) How did you get into Trexquant? What was the selection procedure?
I got into Trexquant through the CDC Internship Program. Trexquant usually recruits interns only through their GAR program, but they visited our campus this time.
There were two rounds of selection after a usual CV shortlist. The first round was a short subjective test, followed by a personal interview ( two for some candidates).
The test was very unorthodox for two reasons - one, it was purely subjective and two, we were encouraged to use the internet during the test. It was designed to test two things: your understanding of financial markets and your approach to modelling a problem using Machine Learning.
The interview was purely technical. They grilled me on my CV, and then I was asked to code a simple CP problem live (Python was preferred).
Since quant is essentially a combination of data and finance, you would be required to do both.
Finance: Zerodha Varsity and Bloomberg Market Concepts are great resources. Open a Zerodha account and just play around with some money
DSA: GeeksForGeeks or any random Youtube video for arrays, sorting and searching
ML: Andrew NG’s is the go-to course. Do at least one project from scratch to be comfortable with implementation.
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome this problem ?
I hadn’t done any kind of CP before CDC. But most of the companies I applied for asked CP questions in some part of the selection process. Thanks to my friends, I made up for the lack of preparation by discussing problems with them over the last few days. Since I wasn’t very comfortable in C++, I coded in Python during tests (which helped during my interview).
Anyone who, has an understanding of, or willing to learn the working of the global macroeconomy and markets enjoys playing with data
can work independently in an environment which is highly competitive as well as rewarding
is a rapid learner, creative and comfortable with taking risks
Although CDC internships are a one-time chance, you should choose companies and roles wisely. Keep working on your interests and expand your skill set; you are bound to emerge victorious at the end!
Make a group of friends targeting similar profiles and help out each other during the preparation. Always feel free to reach out to seniors or anyone else for queries.
Lastly, it is important not to succumb to peer pressure and other overwhelming stuff around. Remember that perseverance pays off, and remarkable opportunities await.
Generally, it is quite hard to find a project or intern relevant to this field. So, it would be optimal to have a mix of points relating to finance and data in your CV. Additionally, try to explore different techniques like NLP in addition to traditional ML.
I encourage students to intern somewhere (there are a ton of new quant-related startups) in the summer so that your CV stands out.

1)Brief introduction and description of the offered role
Hi everyone, I am Aorkodeep Mandal, a 4th-year Undergraduate student in the Department of Electrical Engineering with a Masters in Financial Engineering. I am a Placement Committee Member at CDC, IIT Kharagpur. I have interned with organizations like McMaster University, Columbia Business School, and The StartupLab. On campus, I have also taken up leadership roles at E-Cell, Finance Club, HJB Hall, and ShARE.
I have been offered an Internship at The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) for the summer of 2024. This is a Front Office Management Consulting role where the selected candidate joins as a Summer Associate.
2)How did you get into Boston Consulting Group? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process had 3 primary steps.CV ShortlistingBuddy RoundsCase Interviews.
CV Shortlisting: In my opinion, this is the most important step. From a pool of over 1000 applicants, only a handful (12 to 20) candidates make it through. The CV for Consulting is unique and needs thorough preparation.
Buddy Rounds: Once you make it through the CV Shortlisting, you are allotted 2 buddies. This is consistent across all the Consulting Firms that hire through CDC with the number varying between 1 and 2. Buddies help you out with queries that you may have before the interviews ranging from Case Prep to workplace info., expectations, and specifics.
Case Interviews: Depending on the firm, you might be subjected to 1 to 3 rounds of interviews. The general hierarchy of rounds is Consultant Round, Project Lead (PL) Round, and Partner or MDP Round. Depending on the firm, these rounds can either be eliminatory or cumulatively graded.
3)How to prepare for them?
CV Prep:
A Consulting Firm divides your CV into segments and looks for “Spikes”. Make sure to cover as many spikes as possible in the components mentioned.
Academic Spike: Having a good CGPA and academic track record is expected. In addition to that, scholarships, grants, paper publications, top-notch departmental rank, and DepC are pointers to be covered to have a spike in this section.
Work-Ex Spike: Impact is honey to the ears of Consult. Having a decent track of internships/projects in brand corporates, reputed foreign universities, or work-ex in an impactful or relevant role leading to social good is appreciated.PORs Spike: Leadership positions on campus, such as VP, Placecomm, Institute Representatives, flagbearers of Cells and Fests, governing batch at a major society or club, etc. add towards this spike.Extra-Curricular Activities: This is an often neglected yet fairly important metric for consulting firms. National/International achievements, social work, entrepreneurial experience, etc. are often judging criteria.Competitions/Awards: Brand Competitions such as Inter IIT, Hult Prize, competitions conducted by brand corporates, GC, etc are important for a spike in this section.
It is important to keep a few more pointers in mind. Make the CV impact-driven, start with impact words, and use numbers to justify this whenever necessary. A “STAR” approach often works well. Since all you have is a 1 pager CV to cover as many spikes as possible, it is optimal to focus on cumulatively maximizing the number of spikes rather than over-stretching on a single sector. Get your CV reviewed by as many relevant people as you can and keep upgrading your drafts.
Buddy Rounds:
Buddy rounds are non-evaluative and have the sole purpose of preparing you for D-Day. Maximize the help you can extract from your buddies, with cases, sample answers to typical interview questions, and seek regular feedback. Although buddies generally do not decide your selection/rejection outcome, it is always helpful to be very well prepared before you form an impression in front of them. You should have prepared an ample number of cases with your case group (here, case group refers to the friend circle that practices cases with you) to be super confident before the chit-chat.
Interview Rounds:
Case Prep and a grip on the general HR questions will set you sail. These are the things to cover: Guesstimates, Cases - Profitability, Growth, Market Entry, Pricing, and Unconventional. Although M&A cases are not asked at an intern level, 1-2 cases in that domain won’t hurt.
These are some of the resources to follow:
Guesstimates: The Guessing Game by Communique, IIT KGP.Cases: Day One (IITM), Case Interviews Cracked (IITB), IIMA Casebook, etc.Playlists to follow: Case Interviews Cracked IIT B, Victor Cheng - Look Over My Shoulder
HR Prep: A good introduction expressing the person that you are and a few standard questions showing your grit and interest towards the role and alignment with the company.
4)When did you start preparing for this role and according to you what is the ideal time for aspirants to begin their preparation?
As discussed, there are 2 elements to it: CV Prep and Case Prep.
Your CV is a culmination of your college life experiences, so, there’s no ideal time to start. However, if you are planning to start now, the best time to start is yesterday :)
Well, talking about Case Prep, 40 - 45 days before the interview rounds should be fine if you put in diligent efforts daily.
Case rounds are communication-heavy, which means, that even while you’re thinking through the case or structuring your thoughts, it is necessary to keep the communication flowing with your interviewer. At times, I felt overwhelmed with my thoughts that maintaining the communication stream felt distracting, however, as you practice more, you get a sense of working this out.
To take your case in the right direction, it is important to ask relevant questions in a structured manner. Structuring cases are ad hoc and there’s always a guilt of asking stuff at a later stage if they should have been covered earlier. However, again, the simple funda of life applies here, the more you practice, the drill to be on point gets better every time.
The best part about this role is that it is open to all the departments without bias, however, a decent enough CGPA is expected. Also, as mentioned earlier, PORs with good enough exposure to managerial and authoritative work add a spike. Exceptional achievements in EAAs are a plus point.
In my opinion, people who love to solve problems, work in teams, have demonstrated effective leadership, and are ready to withstand hours of work are ideal for this role. Also, as this role demands a lot of travel and dynamic shifts, someone who is adaptable to changes should have a good deal with this role.
However, this is one of the best job roles to have at this level where you get to explore different industries and work with top-tier management at such an early age. Therefore, I recommend
everyone to give this a shot and get hands-on experience, helping them decide their career path.
As discussed earlier, a well-crafted CV is quite important for this role. It should be a good fit with your Brand Internships, Achievements, PORs, Competitions, Extracurriculars, etc.
For the Junta preparing for CDC Internships, it is better to keep yourself hedged. Prepare for at least 2 profiles if your profile has a limited scope of opportunity, for ex. Consult and Finance.The best part about this journey is the people you encounter. Relax buddy, everyone has their ups and downs during this phase. It is quite important to have friends who are reliable, comforting, and at the same time, push you to be the best version of yourself. Make sure that you speak to as many relevant seniors as possible. End of the day, you can not control the variables that are not in your hand, and trust me, there are a lot of these variables. What you can do is focus on your prep and make yourself an asset.
With that, wishing you all the best for CDC Internships!

Hello everyone, I am Archana Satapathy, a pre-final year student at IITKharagpur majoring in Mining Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course.I am a boarder of Sister Nivedita Hall of Residence. I shall join as aStrategy and Consulting Intern at Accenture this summer.
2. How did you get into Accenture? What was the selection procedure?
I entered Accenture through the Career Development Centre (CDC) atIIT Kharagpur. The selection process consisted of one online assessment along with two rounds of interviews.
The online assessment was about an hour long and had questions based on critical thinking and logical reasoning. There was a Psychometric evaluation section as well.
The first round of interview had questions based on my CV, an explanation of projects, and questions based on the skills mentioned. It lasted for about 40–45 minutes.
The second round of interview was held on the same day immediately after the first round which was the HR round where there were situation-based questions, and a few questions on CV and it lasted for about 30–40 minutes.
For the assessment round, solving questions on different topics like graphs, patterns, probability, profit analysis, analogies, visual puzzles become important for a better pace. For the Psychometric evaluation, remain careful while answering as the questions get reframed and they check for similar answers in the repeated questions.
For the interview round, be thorough with your CV, have a detailed explanation of the projects mentioned, prepare a proper introduction highlighting all essential points, read a little bit about the company their values and goals before sitting for the interview.
For the HR round prepare answers to some common questions like what are your strengths and weaknesses, why did you choose this company, the offered role, etc. I followed the book ‘Bury The Hatchet with case problems’ which had cases and probable questions for the HR round. Last but not least stay calm and composed throughout the interview. Even if you get stuck while solving any case communicate with the interviewer they will guide you in a certain direction. Confidence is important but do catch the hints.
4. When did you start preparing for this role and according to you what is the ideal time for aspirants to begin their preparation?
I would suggest to start preparing from the beginning of summer itself. For this profile, they wanted people with basic coding skills, MS Excel, Fundamental concepts of Machine Learning, and basic algorithms that take time to understand. Having a schedule and staying persistent will ease it.
5. What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome them?
Since, for the very first time Accenture was recruiting for this profile, I focused majorly on the technical part due to which I was left with less time for solving cases and preparing for the aptitude test.
To begin with I started watching ‘Case Interviews Cracked’ playlist and focused on the type of problems rather than the volume. Having a supportive peer group and seniors who were always ready to help made the journey easier.
6. Are there any specific requirements such as department, CGPA, or other criteria for this position? Additionally, do certain PORs or EAAs enhance one’s chances of securing this internship?
It was open to all the departments (only for B.Tech courses) and as such no CGPA criteria but having a CGPA greater than 8 is a plus as it increases chances of shortlisting. PORs and EAAs do not play a significant role but they do highlight your time management skills.
7. According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
Anyone who has structured thinking can analyze the data and has knowledge about technological advancements (mainly AI) should apply for this profile. It is however encouraged that all of you should give it a try.
8. Kindly attach your CV/Resume. What are some of the major points youthink would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
Each CV is unique and there should not be any comparison made. Some of the major points that are valid to mention are:- Keep your CV as versatile as possible highlighting important projects, achievements, courses taken, and any competition you were part of.- Align your CV according to the requirements and mention relevant skills.- Describe each line in your CV starting with an action word and provide statistics to highlight the impact.
9. Lastly, what advice would you like to give to the students aiming to grab CDC internships this year?
I would advise you to use your time effectively to develop the relevant skills and make your own projects. If you get an internship it’s well and good but do not spend the entire time searching for it. Contact your seniors whenever you need any help as they might be the best ones to guide you. Form a friend group with similar goals to discuss the case studies. It might get hectic at times but stay patient throughout the process. Stay consistent with your efforts and everything will eventually fall into place.All the best!

My name is Nabhya Khoria. I am a pre-final year undergraduate student of the Department of Mathematics. I will be joining AlphaGrep as a Quant intern from May‘24.
The selection process consisted of a coding test followed by three rounds of interviews. The coding test comprised four coding questions based on binary search, dynamic programming and trees mixed with some basic probability concepts. I managed to solve all of them. Those who solved all the questions from non-CSE departments were only shortlisted for interviews. For CSE students, solving 3+ was sufficient.
The first round involved questions about mean and median. A problem on conditional probability was then given for me to solve. A few basic puzzles, guesstimate and sharpe ratio were followed. The last few questions involved Markov Chains. The interviewer was quite interactive and helpful. He didn’t look for a straight answer and rather insisted on the approach.
The second round was the toughest one, involving tough questions on probability and mathematics. I was asked about the infinite power tower convergence problem. Then, I was given a puzzle, which was a strategic winning puzzle. These types of questions can be solved if one practices Brainstellar and Fifty Challenging Problems. In this round as well, the approach and letting the interviewer know what you’re thinking was important.
The third round was on market making. I was asked to estimate the population of Italy. This was followed by creating a spread of 1 crore. The interviewers gave their own spreads regarding the same, and then subsequent transactions were followed by buy and sell. After a few transactions, I was told to correct my spread. After a hint, I was able to correct my spread. This round primarily consisted of market simulation, similar as the stock market. You don’t need to prepare for this round beforehand.
You must be well prepared for DSA and must practice solving questions within a limited time frame. The test scores really matter and not the CGPA, according to me. You can practice on Leetcode, CSES, Codeforces and Atcoder to practice such types of questions. I personally used the AlgoZenith course for my DSA preparation. For the interviews, you must solve Fifty Challenging Problems, Brainstellar and Heard on the Street. Try to maintain a decent Codeforces rating (1600+ will do). If you are targeting a Systems role, go through OS, Networks and OOPS. Make sure you also go through C++ concepts like smart pointers from learncpp.com.
I started my preparation in the summer after my second year. I couldn’t prepare well in my third year. I resumed it in the summer after my third year.
The ideal time to start is as early as possible. The first summer is indeed the ideal time to start your preparation. Simply because it is difficult to manage time during classes and other campus activities. Try putting maximum hours
in the holidays to cover up all the syllabus in time, and be miles ahead compared to others. Do not worry if you don’t have much time left, as you will be at your maximum efficiency right now, and one can complete everything if he/she puts in the last-minute effort.
The difficulty that I mainly faced was the rating growth. I was unable to improve my ratings despite my efforts. I overcame them by practicing more and more questions, giving mocks, and clearing all my doubts. I kept myself motivated by giving GoC contests and securing decent ranks on the leaderboard. I tried to give all the contests of Codeforces and Codechef. I also tried sometimes to upsolve the questions of the contests. Remember, practice is the key to growth.
Yes, only circuital departments were allowed, i.e., CS, MA, EC and EE, to register for this position. A minimum CGPA of 8.0 was also required to sit for the tests.
No PORs or EAAs will usually enhance one’s chances of securing this internship. However, at the end of my second interview round, I was asked about what I do in my free time. Here, if you answer chess, bridge, or poker, it can slightly enhance your chances.
Ones who are targeting Software or Quant roles should ideally apply for this position, as getting into AlphaGrep requires preparation for these roles. Those preparing for Data roles, if you practice coding questions well, you should too sit for this role.
CV is not really important in this role. As long as you have good ratings and good problem-solving skills, you are good to go. You can keep 2–3 projects primarily based on coding. If you don’t have any, try finding some simple projects on the web. Mention your ratings of different platforms in the CV. Also, mention your ranks in various contests you have achieved. Try incorporating Machine Learning and Deep Learning as well; this will slightly increase your chances. PORs will certainly not help, but it is not a problem if you have them on your resume. They asked me for a summary of my resume in Round 1, and that’s it. They don’t really care about your CV. Please note this is not true for other companies.
Prepare well and give the time it requires. Make sure you maintain calm and composure during the coding tests. This is the time when you should focus on performing extremely well in a few tests rather than performing “decent” in a lot. Even if you screw up a lot of tests, it is totally fine. You must manage to perform great in a few. Have a small group of friends to discuss and to keep each other motivated. For the interviews, I would recommend asking your batchmates and/or seniors to help you with your last-minute preparation, like your introduction and HR. Do not indulge yourself in some courses that won’t help you a lot and would just consume your time. Discuss with your friends and your mentor about your preparation and take their advice. Remember, communication is the key part in an interview; always speak your “mind.” Also, understand that CDC is not the end of the world and try to stay calm throughout the process.

Hi, everyone! I’m Pranav Kulkarni, a fourth-year dual-degree CSE student at IIT Kharagpur. I am a boarder of Nehru Hall of Residence. I will intern at AlphaGrep Securities as a Software Developer in the Summer of 2024.
The selection procedure consists of a common coding round for quant and software developer roles and a series of interviews.
The coding round had 4 DSA questions to be solved in 90 minutes. They were from a varying range of difficulties. The most straightforward question was based on a standard LIS problem, then a question based on ranges and intervals, which was easily solvable using sets, and then a question based on tree travel involving probabilities consisting of printing precise decimal values; the most challenging question was an observation-based one which was also solvable using binary search on the answer. I solved all four questions within 50 minutes. Implementation skills matter a lot in these rounds. Even if you get the logic correct, you may make silly mistakes in your implementation, thus wasting vital time debugging your code. I was shortlisted for both Software and Quant profiles.
My interview consisted of three rounds, with questions involving CS core concepts like data types, data structures, static & dynamic polymorphism, inheritance, smart pointers, caching and paging, TCP & UDP, mutex and DSA concepts like DP, graphs, sliding window, tree, and arrays. Some of the questions involved facts that I wasn’t aware of, but my logical approach while thinking of answers helped me get through them.
To get shortlisted, DSA is the most essential required skill to ace the coding rounds for software developer roles. Apart from regular contests on Codeforces, CodeChef & Atcoder, participate in competitions like ICPC, HackerCup, etc. Mentioning good ranks in these competitions significantly boosts one’s CV.
If you are targeting HFTs, good practice of object-oriented programming is crucial, as some of the HFTs specifically test this skill during coding rounds.
I primarily practiced the standard DSA topics like DP, Segment Trees, Trees and Graphs from CSES and AtCoder, and got an idea about how they are asked in the coding tests from the previous years’ GOC CDC series.
I’d recommend preparing for OOPS and thoroughly knowing C++ STL containers and Operating System concepts to crack the interview. I followed the course slides to prepare for the OOPS and CS core concepts. To prepare for interview-specific DSA questions, I practiced using InterviewBit questions.
I started my preparation for the software developer role at the start of my third year, as the topics covered during the courses were mostly related to core system design concepts. During the semesters, I couldn’t devote any time to learning DSA due to my focus on maintaining my CGPA and learning all the Lab courses with a thorough understanding and practice.
During the winter break of the third year, I started learning basic concepts like STL, which are essential for competitive programming. As I was very new to competitive programming, it took me the whole of December to learn the necessary basics.
My summer before CDC started with me as a pupil on the Codeforces and a 3-star coder on the CodeChef. With these not-so-good stats of competitive programming, I devoted the month of May to learning and practicing new DSA concepts. It was tough for me to learn and practice new DSA and OOPS concepts during the summer, so I recommend that others start learning these concepts during the breaks of the second year.
As I said, the most significant difficulty I faced while preparing for the CDC was the need for more practice of DSA. To overcome this, I had to stick to standard practice questions from CSES and InterviewBit and rely on my problem-solving and implementation ability to solve questions in the coding rounds.
The role was open only for circuital branches like CS, MA, EC, EE, and IE. The shortlist and priority to appear for the interview were based entirely on the test performance, so criteria like CGPA, POR, and EAAs didn’t make any difference.
Any student who is highly interested in system design, has good implementation skills & a grip over DSA, enjoys fast-paced learning, and is highly efficient in programming should ideally apply for this job.
Having a high rating on Codeforces is always a major plus. You can also mention the ranks you obtained in popular coding contests such as Google Kickstart and Facebook HackerCup. If you have taken part in ICPC, mention that too.
Apart from talent and preparation, the procedure for grabbing an internship through the CDC depends on many other factors, such as your confidence, luck, communication, etc. I recommend you form a group of friends who are targeting the same profile as the resources and information you learn from them will consistently benefit in this luck-dependent, random process. Always believe in yourself, and don’t get disheartened or overconfident by your performance in the coding rounds.
All the best for upcoming CDC internships!!

1) A brief introduction and description of the offered role.
A) Hello Everyone, I hope you guys are doing well. I am Mohd Amaan, a soon-to-be fourth-year undergraduate student from the Department of Electrical Engineering. I hail from Roorkee, Uttarakhand, and am a boarder of Patel Hall of Residence. Through the CDC process, I was able to get an internship in the software development role at Amazon.
A) Amazon came to campus on Day 3. We had one initial screening round, which consisted of two questions. There was a question bank, and the questions were more on the easy side, though there was some inconsistency with the environment. One was on basic strings, and the second question was based on iterative DP, which was easy but gave me some errors in two cases that were platform-specific. Most of the people completed the test within the first 15 minutes themselves. After getting the shortlist, we had only 1 interview which was a long one (1 hour+ in my case), which consisted of three questions, which were again on the easy side. The topics were binary search, binary trees, and linked lists. The interviewer just asked me to write the pseudocode, though I wrote the full code for all three questions.
A) If I were to specifically refer to my experience with giving interviews at Amazon and Piramal, Leetcode/Algozenith would suffice for both the interview and the OA. But looking at the overall CDC experience, Competitive Programming prepared me to think about solutions with better speed and improved my code writing speed, which in general helped me in OAs and the interview itself. Leetcode/Algozenith is the cake, and CP is the topping XD
A) I started preparing as soon as I went home for the summer vacation. I’ll say that there’s no ideal time. Start as early as you can, and don’t panic. If you are someone starting summer vacations, I suggest you practice in chunks and divide your time between theory and problem-solving. Mine was something like 20:80, with 80 being the problem-solving.
A) In between the preparations, I felt like I had reached a steady state, which was not the case, which made me a bit laggy in between. My friends’ group proved to be the most effective solution, providing me with assistance at every stage. We had formed a group to discuss daily practice, any challenges someone was facing, contests, etc. We spent hours on call discussing the edge cases and where the code might fail, which gave me confidence in the OAs.
A) From a departmental perspective, the answer is no. CG greater than 8 would be preferred. Amazon has some LPs (Leadership Principles) on which they focus a lot. I didn’t have a resume grilling round, but surely a resume carries importance.
A) Anyone looking to work on scaling large systems that have a direct impact on the tech sector should apply for the position.
A) They generally do not give much importance to resumes, but again, they have some Leadership principles on which they focus a lot. You never know what portion of your resume might attract the interviewer. Prepare a good resume and go through it thoroughly.
A) Just keep yourself calm. Carry on the grind and eventually, you will make it. You won’t feel you have done enough at any point because there are endless things to learn. Just keep on grinding, do CP, practice more problems, build a good resume, and you will be there.

A) The internship role is of a derivative trader, wherein you have to place the trades on behalf of the company and specifically in strategies.
A) The selection process consisted of an aptitude test, the number of students was about 750–800, which consisted of quick mathematical solving questions and some basic reasoning.
The selected candidates went through a Group Discussion round, where we had to compete against ourselves in a trade game, and there were 10 students per panel. The number of panels were about 10–11. The trade game consisted of trading our lots with others on the prediction of the final number that would be generated after 6 rounds, and after every round one number would be displayed, ranging from 0–9. For example, people would buy at 26 and sell at 28 during the first round, as the final number could be possibly 27.
The selected candidates then went for the interview round, where the Interviewer connected with me online and asked about my Introduction, then some CV grilling, specifically my PORs and then some SDE questions, as I steered the conversation to my main profile. The overall interview lasted for about 15 minutes.
The final was the HR call, wherein the internship offer was almost confirmed, and the call was short, basically asking about the overall experience.
A) Learn some basics of equity markets, and have a strong hold on the projects/competitions that you’re writing on the cv. Other than that, quick mathematical skills come in handy and a basic knowledge of how trades occur help too.
A) My main role was in sde/data, and I applied for this position as the company came on day-4. An ideal preparation for a trading profile would be to have some knowledge of finance, along with going through varsity modules/ all the materials which are available for the finance sector. 1 month of preparation would be sufficient.
A) The major difficulties a person could face while targeting for such profile is having less knowledge regarding the finance sector, as I had majorly prepared for Software companies, I did not have much knowledge regarding the sector, which gave some panelists an upper hand during the overall process.
A) This company wasn’t biassed towards a specific department, they did prefer a higher CG, but majorly focused upon your trading mindset and how the student’s brain worked whilst looking at the situation of the market that they were providing them with.
A) Anyone who has a curiosity to learn regarding the markets and how they are influenced on a day-to-day basis. This role is also beneficial for those who have an enthusiasm for quick mathematical solving questions.
A) Do have some important projects in your CV. If you do not have any, make some self-projects, this summer is the best time wherein you can prepare your projects and write them in your CV.
A) Focus upon being confident and outspoken during GDs and Interviews, some of the students, despite having the skill sets, got an internship by the end of the season as they weren’t bold enough during the interviews. As the overall situation isn’t very favorable for the B.Tech students as well, do improve on your skill sets too as they help you in the long run, including placements.

Hello everyone! My name is Ashutosh Dash. I am a 4th year undergraduate student of the department of Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Financial Engineering. I am from Bhubaneswar, Odisha. I will be joining Bajaj Auto as a summer intern in its R&D Department for the summer of ‘24.
2. How did you get into Bajaj Auto ? What was the selection procedure?
My journey to securing an internship at Bajaj Auto began with thorough preparation and an understanding of the selection process. Initially, there was a CV shortlisting round, and mostly you will get shortlisted if you have a decent enough CGPA (above 7.0 was the benchmark that is mostly followed). Following that, I faced a rigorous technical assessment similar to the GATE pattern, which tested a wide array of subjects from the mechanical engineering curriculum. Successful candidates then underwent a psychometric test designed to evaluate personality traits and resilience. The final stages were the technical and HR interviews, which assessed both my technical knowledge and interpersonal skills.
Preparation for Bajaj Auto’s selection process should be methodical and precise. For the technical test, it’s crucial to have a solid grasp of core mechanical subjects like Solid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer etc. and should also have a decent understanding of some first year mathematics stuff like numerical estimations, solving differential equations etc. Revision from class notes and additional problems from textbooks can be very helpful as and when you encounter these courses in your semesters. For the psychometric and interview rounds, it’s beneficial to get your core and basic concepts of mechanical engineering clear and have a thorough understanding of what you have learnt through your semesters. Familiarity with your own projects and coursework is key, as these are common topics during interviews. Confidence and fluency both during interview and psychometric tests are some of the soft skills that you should develop in the last days of your preparation.
4. When did you start preparing for this role, and what is the ideal time for aspirants to begin their preparation?
I started preparing for this role towards the end of my third year, practically during the summer vacation before the internship selection sessions. Ideally, aspirants should begin their preparation at least 3–4 months before the internship season starts. Prior to this they should be involved enough in the courses throughout the semesters in the courses they take both as Core as well as Depth Electives. This can smoothen their preparations, instigate more confidence in them and help them avoid last minute rush and rough preparations. In case a candidate has been sincere enough throughout their semesters, 3–4 months is an ample amount of time to strengthen their understanding of both core mechanical concepts and develop soft skills essential for acing multiple rounds of interviews.
The MCQ test that you will initially face will have 90 questions to be completed within 90 minutes, placing a significant emphasis on your speed and accuracy. Without a solid understanding of the concepts, you may find it challenging to answer a substantial number of questions within the allotted time. Therefore, my suggestion would be to keep practicing as many questions as possible once you conclude your preparation, so that you can be at your best possible speed and accuracy on the day of the test
One major challenge was balancing the preparation for multiple profiles, as each of them have distinct requirements. To manage this, I structured my study schedule to allocate specific times for core mechanical subjects as well as other profiles that I was preparing for.
One piece of advice would be in case you are going for preparations for multiple profiles and one of them is core, then you may choose the others to be non-technical profiles as choosing a mixture of both core as well as technical profiles like SDE and Data Science will more often lead you towards a greater cloud of confusion and will hinder the completeness of your preparation towards either of the chosen profiles. Whenever and wherever stuck, I would suggest engaging in discussions with peers, seniors and professors in order to obtain deeper insights and to get your doubts clarified effectively.
The internship at Bajaj Auto primarily targets mechanical engineering students, although candidates from related fields are also considered if they have relevant skills. A CGPA of above 8.5 is generally preferred (although the cut off to sit for tests is 7.0) and CGPA does hold a great deal of importance atleast during the interviews.
One more important aspect is the quality of projects that you would have done in your respective departments. They actually get a lot of content to hold conversation with you and engage with your interests in case you have any such interesting projects in your resume. So my suggestion would be to at least have two or more projects written on your resume in order to craft the interview in your desired direction and to base it on the topics in which you feel most confident about.
Holding positions of responsibility or engaging in extracurricular activities can also enhance a candidate’s profile by demonstrating leadership and teamwork skills but in case anyone doesn’t have them, they need to worry as these are just brownie points and the recruiters do not stress very much on these segments during the interview.
This role is best suited for individuals who are passionate about the automotive industry, particularly those with a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles. It is also well-suited for someone who is interested in mechanical engineering and wants to explore more about the industrial and real-life applications of the academics that they have learnt till then. This role is also well suited for people who want to explore cross-domain applications of mechanical engineering like how mechanical engineering can intersect with emerging technologies like EVs etc.
8. Kindly attach your CV/Resume. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in CV while targeting this profile?
Key points to include in the CV for this role would be relevant coursework, projects, and any internships that demonstrate applied mechanical engineering skills. Additionally, leadership roles in technical clubs or teams can also be significant, as they show an ability to manage projects and work collaboratively.
My advice would be to focus on understanding your core subjects thoroughly and to get involved in hands-on projects or research that can showcase your skills. Try to maintain your CGPA as high as possible by focussing on the academics taught during the semesters, as it stands out as a crucial parameter of judgment atleast for core profiles. In case you can, try to maintain a well-rounded profile with extracurricular activities that highlight your leadership and teamwork capabilities. Lastly, be proactive in seeking feedback on your CV and prepare diligently for interviews by reviewing common questions and practicing with peers or mentors.

Hello! I am Rohit R Gaikwad, a 3rd-year Undergraduate student from the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at IIT Kharagpur. I am from Kalyan, Maharashtra. I am currently doing my Summer Internship at Bajaj Auto.
2) How did you get into Bajaj Auto? What was the selection procedure?
I applied for Bajaj Auto through CDC Internship portal.
The selection procedure consisted of 2 rounds of tests. After shortlisting, two rounds of Interviews are conducted.
Two rounds of tests consist of Aptitude + Core / Domain test (Round 1), with applicants who pass the cutoff of Round 1 are sent for Psychometric test (Round 2).
Two rounds of Interview rounds consist of the Technical and HR rounds. If you are shortlisted in the Technical round, you will receive a call for the HR round.
For round 1, Aptitude part is quite easy, basic knowledge of aptitude will do good enough. The Core part is complicated, and questions are based on GATE-level difficulty. Questions were mainly asked from topics like Mechanical Working of Materials, Corrosion, Creep, Fatigue, Fracture, and Material Science, i.e., mostly related to the mechanical and chemical parts of materials. Practicing GATE questions from these areas would be helpful to answer.
If you are shortlisted in Round 1, a link for Psychometric assessment (Round 2) will be activated. There is no need for preparation, just be as honest about yourself and answer the questions.
For the Technical Interview round, prepare a decent introduction. Prepare your CV thoroughly because most part of the technical interview is based upon CV grilling. Have knowledge about each term mentioned in the CV as they ask questions about the extra-curricular part too. Have good knowledge about your projects and subjects. The interview lasted around 15 minutes.
For the HR round, just give a reading about HR questions on Google. You can visit IndiaBix website for HR questions. I was asked mostly about my family background and interest in working in the company.
Just be confident and calm in both the interview rounds. If you are stuck on any question and do not know the answer, do not start randomly guessing the answers and give any unwanted answers. Instead, accept that you do not know about it, but will surely research about it.
I was preparing for SDE role, but for this role, being thorough with the core coursework will be good enough to prepare. Also, practicing GATE questions on topics mentioned above of previous years during summer vacation will help.
5) What difficulties faced while preparing for this profile? How to overcome?
Since I was not a Dual Degree student, I struggled while preparing for topics like Corrosion, Mechanical Behaviour of Materials, etc., which are taught in 3rd Year. I took the help of various GATE resources and PYQs to ace these topics.
Having a project in domain will be much better and will give you an edge. A CGPA above 8+ is fine; 8.5+ is good enough. Even if your CGPA is low, having a project in domain can compensate for it. PORs do not matter much in core-based companies, but having a POR in the Department society can give you a point in expressing your interest in core during the interview.
Anyone present in core mechanical/electrical/metallurgical engineering should apply for this internship. Even if you have the slightest interest in core and are good with the fundamentals of the branch, you should apply for this.
8) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in CV while targeting this position?
Any Projects / Internships related to core should be added to the CV.
9) Lastly, what advice would you like to give to students aiming to grab CDC internships this year?
1) Make sure you know everything mentioned in your CV. Take enough time to make CV and get it verified by at least one senior you know.
2) Be confident, optimistic, and calm during the interview process. Do not panic if you do not know the answer to a question. Reply with a ‘do not know the answer and will research about it’.
3) Do not be discouraged if you have not bagged an intern on day 1/2/3. Just be confident and keep going. Have a good sleep, be healthy, and keep faith in yourself. All the best!

Hello everyone, I’m Lakshya Jindal Gupta, a fourth-year economics student. I recently accepted a position in BlackRock’s Core Analytics Solution group, previously known as the Portfolio Analytics group. This group is divided into two teams: Single Securities and Portfolio Risk. The Single Securities team focuses on analytics at the security level, generating key metrics that the Portfolio Risk team uses to estimate risk and perform analytics at the portfolio level. I am part of the Portfolio Risk team, and my project involves backtesting the Enhanced Historical VaR (Value at Risk). My role is to assess the validity of the HVAR model currently used by the firm through various statistical techniques and assist in the firm-wide transition from one infrastructure to another.
2)How did you get into BlackRock? What was the selection procedure?
BlackRock’s selection process for this role involved an initial CV shortlisting, specifically targeting dual-degree students. Holding a CFA or FRM certification was a significant advantage in securing a shortlist spot. The interview process consisted of three rounds: two technical and one HR round. In the technical rounds, I was primarily asked questions related to economics and finance, reflecting my academic background and the CFA on my CV. Other candidates also faced questions on puzzles, mathematics, and machine learning. The final round focused on HR questions, with a strong emphasis on understanding the candidate’s motivations for wanting to join BlackRock (this is a question almost every candidate should expect) and discussing personal weaknesses.
Holding a CFA or FRM certification can be advantageous. Additionally, candidates should have a strong foundation in basic bond valuations, macroeconomics, and an understanding of derivatives. Familiarity with recent macroeconomic events or actively managing your own investment portfolio can also be beneficial. These topics not only serve as excellent discussion points during the interview but can also help steer the conversation towards areas where you are most comfortable and knowledgeable.
For this role, I didn’t prepare anything specific outside of my usual studies. Instead, I focused on revising the core topics covered in the CFA curriculum. I recommend that candidates stay updated with the latest finance-related news. Additionally, having experience from a finance-related internship can provide a significant advantage in the selection process.
BlackRock was open to candidates from all departments, provided they were enrolled in dual degree programs. While there was no strict CGPA requirement, maintaining a score above 8
was considered a plus. Positions of Responsibility (PORs) or Extracurricular Activity Achievements (EAA) were not mandatory, but having these can be beneficial. They not only help in driving the direction of the interviews but also enhance a candidate’s chances of selection.
Everyone is encouraged to apply for roles at BlackRock. The company offers a variety of tech-specific projects, so even if you don’t have a background in finance but possess strong coding skills, you are definitely a viable candidate for these positions.
8) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in CV while targeting this profile?
Securing a position at BlackRock can be significantly enhanced by having finance-related internships or certifications such as CFA or FRM. Additionally, notable achievements such as winning competitions can serve as important highlights on your resume. If you have undertaken machine learning courses or completed relevant internships, mentioning these is crucial as they can greatly increase your chances of being shortlisted.
Stay calm and talk with seniors if you face any issues. Keep yourself updated and regularly check all the notifications released on the notice board. I have seen many of my peers miss deadlines to apply for companies where they had a good chance of getting a shortlist, so please try to avoid that. Getting stressed during this phase is very normal, keep in regular touch with your parents and loved ones.

A) Hey guys, Sanil this side. I am a fourth-year student of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering and a boarder of MMM Hall of Residence. Previously, I have worked at multiple organizations such as Huddle, the National University of Singapore, Infinity Box and I will be joining the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) as a Summer Associate in the forthcoming summer. It is a pure consulting role, where I’ll work on assigned cases alongside diverse stakeholders, including clients, to devise strategic solutions for their challenges.
2) How did you get into Boston Consulting Group? What was the selection procedure?
A) BCG has a pretty standard consulting selection process. First, we had to submit our resumes on the CV Portal. Students are shortlisted based on their past experiences, CG, Position of Responsibility, Competitions, Extracurriculars, and so on. Then you are assigned a buddy (in most cases a KGPian) for the buddy process. Post the buddy rounds, I had my first round with the Project Lead at BCG. My second round was taken by the Managing Director and the third and last round by a Partner at BCG. After multiple rounds, the candidates are selected based on problem-solving acumen, structured case approach, and communication skills.
A) To excel in case solving and develop strong business acumen, I suggest starting with Victor Cheng’s YouTube playlist to grasp the case fundamentals. Then, dive into solving cases from reputable sources like the IIM -A and IIM -B casebooks, and utilize resources like Case Interview Cracked for partnered practice with peers serving as case prep partners. Additionally, exploring casebooks such as the Wharton Case Book and SRCC Case Compendium can offer further exposure to a variety of cases.
A) I believe candidates participating in the CDC Internship Session shouldn’t limit themselves to just consulting roles. It’s crucial to diversify options. Therefore, alongside preparing for other profiles, it’s wise to allocate a dedicated 1–2 hour slot daily for case preparation. Typically, dedicating around 1–1.5 months to case prep allows for a solid grasp of various case types and structuring methods. Consistent practice with peers is key, establishing a feedback loop to ensure incorporation of key takeaways from each case.
5) What difficulties did you face while preparing to be a Consult at Boston Consulting Group? How did you overcome them?
A) The major roadblock that the students applying for consulting roles face is the uncertainty revolving around the shortlisting process. I would recommend all the students applying for this role have faith and believe in their capabilities. A strong case prep can greatly improve your chances of securing internships in various other profiles and companies too. So, keep the prep good, help your friends, and don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Consulting shortlists can get random at one point. So, prepare well for other profiles as well.
A) A well-rounded profile across all the sections significantly enhances the likelihood of receiving a shortlist. Moreover, an exceptionally high CGPA boosts your chances of being shortlisted in many profiles. So start attending classes and study well for your exams
A) Consulting attracts individuals who love real problem-solving through strategies and excel in managing multiple stakeholders simultaneously. Moreover, it appeals to those who are prepared to commit to long hours and seek a well-defined professional advancement ladder.
A) An important suggestion from my end to all my fellow juniors apart from the existing generic fundae in different profiles, is ‘Always talk to KGP Alumni.’ They have gone through the same process before, they are well-versed with the different tricks and processes required to grab internships and placements in your so-called dream companies. I have seen many students engaging with alumni primarily to secure internships or jobs. However, it’s important to recognize that alumni often genuinely enjoy assisting their juniors in need. Therefore, don’t overlook the opportunity of grabbing such a valuable asset.

Hi. My name is Pravalika Das. I am a fourth-year undergraduate student of the Department of Chemical Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course. I was offered a Summer Internship at EXL Services in the last year’s on-campus internship season.
My main role is that of a Data Analyst and to assist in any project as per the requirements.
2) How did you get into EXL? What was the selection procedure?
It was an interesting experience. I was shortlisted for the interview rounds while I was in my Inter-IIT last year. Fortunately, everything went well and I received a call from the Placecoms that I had received the offer.
The selection procedure consisted of a Resume shortlisting round followed by 2 Personal Interviews. Both the interviewers asked stuff related to my projects, Probability and Statistics, Aptitude(Logic) questions as well as Guesstimates.
I remember my Guesstimate question from the second interviewer to be:
What percent of KGP Junta indulge in Coffee?
The list of the shortlisted candidates was released a day before the interview round. In such a short period, it becomes difficult to actually “prepare”, rather it would be advisable to revise the resume that has been submitted and the topics that have been mentioned in the CV.
It would be good if the shortlisted candidate knew the basics of Guesstimates(the different approaches and the preliminary questions that need to be asked). The interviewer mainly looks at our thought process in this. Knowing a bit about the company also helps! I remember talking to my interviewers about the company in the end and the insights they provided to the questions I asked were great. It is good to show that you have an interest in the company and are curious about it. Going through HR questions like “Why Data Analyst role?, Why EXL?” is also important.
Data was my backup option in case I did not get an Intern in my preferred domain. I had done projects in Data Science till the summer of last year, so I included the ones I was sure I could answer all the questions fearlessly. I had explored this field back in the summers of 1st year and I brushed up my concepts in the last year’s summer vacations.
The ideal time to start the preparation would definitely be the summer vacation if someone hasn’t started yet. EXL comes around the end of September/beginning of October, so a person has sufficient time to skill themselves up.
I was not good at coding during the last summers. I had done some CP stuff in the summers but had stopped midway when I was too demotivated. The biggest hindrance to this role was the coding rounds that had to be passed.
Luckily, EXL had no such coding rounds so I was shortlisted based on my knowledge of Data ;)
But yes, if one is going for this role, knowing DSA is pivotal! It’s great if a person doesn’t stop coding if they are not getting the desired results at once.
No. EXL did not have any such criteria that only the Circuital Department students would be allowed to submit their resumes etc. There weren’t any CGPA criteria as well. People having less than 7.5 CG were also shortlisted as far as I can remember.
PoRs and EAAs are good to have in your resume but they do not make quite an impact in the selection procedure.
Anyone who has a fascination with Data Science/Analysis should apply for this role or those who have kept Data as their backup option. It is good to have at least 2–3 projects if one has decided to apply for this role.
Projects! Projects! Projects!
The only thing that matters is the Project/ Previous Internship in this field. It doesn’t mean one shouldn’t have any other sections in their CV but the CV should contain a minimum of 2 projects/interns that the person can defend in the interview if shortlisted. Adding NLP projects would be beneficial since the role explicitly mentioned that we needed to do some NLP stuff.
I got shortlisted by 4 companies in Day 1 and 3 but couldn’t convert them because of my nerves in the interviews, whereas in EXL, even though I was in IIT Gandhinagar and had to run after the inauguration ceremony to my hostel to start the interview, I was quite calm(maybe due to the joyous mood of everyone near me). I did not stress at all and answered all the questions that were asked. So, the best lesson I learned was to maintain your calm :) and would advise the same to the CDC junta. Consider the interviewer to be a common person asking you questions in the area of your expertise and go for it!! Best of Luck CDC Junta.

Hey everyone! I’m Sanskar Gupta, a 4th-year undergraduate student pursuing an integrated MSc in Economics. I’ll be interning at Goldman Sachs as a Quantitative Strategist.
2. How did you get into Goldman Sachs ? What was the selection procedure?
Goldman Sachs conducts two tests, one for the SDE and one for the Quant roles. Since I wasn’t targeting SDE, I only took the Quant test. It was a one-hour test on the HackerRank platform, comprising several sections:- Two subjective HR questions focusing on how will you handle team member performance issues and my lessons from previous projects/internships.- The quantitative aptitude section covers basic aptitude, probability, statistics, and JEE-level calculus and trigonometry questions.- Coding Section with three easy to medium standard questions from graph and array topics.
Following the test, GS has 3 rounds of interviews. I gave only two as I got the offer by the end of the second round. They asked a good number of questions on probability and puzzles, which were mainly from the 3 standard resources mentioned below. They also grilled me on my corporate valuation project. They also asked me about the various distributions in statistics and their use case. I was also asked to write pseudocode for four coding problems, two of which were easy, and two were standard array and recursion questions.
Preparing for a Quant role at Goldman Sachs requires a strong understanding of probability and statistics. For this, you can follow the following resources:- Stats110 for building foundational concepts.- Solving 50 challenging problems in probability and statistics, especially the first 30 problems.- Studying chapters 1 and 2 of “Heard on the Street.”- Practicing easy and medium Brainstellar puzzles.
For coding preparation, understanding DSA concepts and practicing standard questions is essential. I started with videos and resources of Striver and Luv DSA. For the practice of the question, I used GFG along with LeetCode Blind 75.
I started preparing for roles like this at the end of my second year, focusing on Machine Learning/Data Science. I began coding during the winter holidays after the 5th semester, as it will be required for most of the companies. You have to start coding practice as early as possible and dedicate significant time during the summer holidays to prepare for probability and statistics and refining your CV.
Managing a broad syllabus within a limited timeframe was one of the biggest challenges. To overcome this, I created a detailed roadmap prioritizing resources and kept track of my progress. Initially, the sheer volume of content and conversion rate may seem overwhelming. However, persisting and accomplishing small targets consistently prove beneficial in the long run.
Goldman Sachs doesn’t have specific departmental criteria; candidates from various backgrounds were shortlisted. While a high CGPA is preferred, there’s no explicitly stated cutoff. For the Quant role, project/internship experience and competitions hold more weight than Positions of Responsibility (PORs).
This role suits individuals who enjoy problem-solving, have a strong inclination toward mathematics, and are interested in exploring finance.
In a CV targeting this profile, start with internships/projects and competitions, as these provide substantial topics for interview discussions. Maintain consistency and highlight the impact of your work, using numbers where possible for credibility. Only include points you can defend in interviews. Projects related to finance and analytics can boost your chances of selection. Seek feedback from peers and seniors on your CV, and conduct mock interviews to identify strengths and weaknesses.
Stay confident in your preparation and keep working diligently. Seek support from friends and seniors whenever needed. Don’t stress over early results; many good opportunities are available later. Remember, a CDC internship is not the end-all; plenty of other opportunities will exist. Keep working hard, and success will follow in due time.

Hey all, I am Gaddam Sree Harshitha, 3rd year undergraduate in the department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Kharagpur, enrolled in its Btech course. I have been offered a Software Development Engineer role at google. I’ll talk about how I prepared for this role and some mistakes I made along the way.
2. How did you get into Google? What was the selection procedure?
This procedure had a coding round, which contained two questions. This round was particularly challenging, as we were given 90 minutes to complete both questions. I managed to fully write the code for the first question and pass all its test cases. However, due to time constraints, I couldn’t finish the second question. Following the coding stage, candidates were shortlisted for two 45-minute technical interviews. Throughout the interviews, I had to explain my thought process and approach to solving the problems given by the interviewers. Although the interviews were intense, they were also engaging and provided a platform to showcase my technical abilities.
In my first interview, I used heaps to solve the question. I was asked to write the whole code, including the main function. However, due to time constraints, I could not address some of the edge cases. The interview was engaging throughout. I would discuss my ideas with the interviewer whenever I was stuck, and he would provide me with test examples where my ideas didn’t work, which I would then use to adjust my approach and go on.
The shortlist for the second interview was revealed late on the day of the first one. The second interview included a question about arrays that required the use of divide and conquer. I expected a follow-up question, so I completed writing the entire code in 30 minutes, but there was no follow up. After I finished coding, the interviewer gave me positive feedback, saying that the interview went well. I expressed my interest in working for Google by asking him some questions about the company for the remaining fifteen minutes.
I began participating in coding contests regularly on platforms Codeforces and CodeChef starting in my fourth semester, even though I started in the middle of my third semester. During my third semester, I had an algorithms course, so I focused on solving related problems on LeetCode. This made it difficult for me to participate in contests regularly.
In my fourth semester, I dedicated time to solving problems from a structured sheet created by Striver, covering basic topics like arrays, heaps, and queues in data structures and algorithms. I found it beneficial to give contests with friends because we could discuss the questions we struggled with and motivate each other to participate regularly.
During the three-month summer break, I started by making a plan for the topics I needed to cover. I estimated the amount of time I should spend on each topic. If I couldn’t finish a topic at that time, I skipped it and scheduled it for the final days of the break. Every day, I set a goal to solve a minimum of six questions, regardless of the topic I was focusing on that day. I also limited myself to spending no more than 45 minutes figuring out the approach for each problem. This strategy helped me manage my time effectively during online assessments and interviews. Although the break was officially three months, it felt much shorter. From morning till evening, I focused on solving questions related to the topic I was working on that day, using the Striver A2Z sheet as a guide. In the evenings, I took part in any coding competitions that were scheduled. If there were no contests, I would spend time solving problems that I had failed to answer in earlier contests, or, I would focus on revisiting oops topics and taking proper notes on them. I used to prepare interview questions and answer them myself about the projects included in my resume. Google does not ask oops or project related questions, but I prepared in general for all interviews. This routine ensured that I was continuously improving my problem-solving skills.
In May, I dedicated my time to revising basic concepts like arrays, linked lists, binary search, greedy algorithms, etc. Since I was weak in recursion, I devoted extra time to it, as it is essential for topics like dynamic programming (DP), trees, and graphs. However, because I focused so much on recursion, I ran out of time to cover other planned topics, queues, heaps, etc. In June I mainly focused on the topics DP, trees,Graphs and In July, I finished the remaining topics I had planned, which included queues, heaps, sliding windows, two pointers, etc.
I started doing cp in the middle of the third semester and started randomly solving DSA questions from leetcode and gfg, Participating in contests on a regular basis helps you become acquainted with the test environment, manage your time throughout the coding rounds and interviews, and improve your problem-solving abilities. My proper DSA preparation occurred during the three-month summer break. I would recommend starting cp and solving some fundamental DSA topic questions in the first year. Initially, it is common to struggle with solving many questions, and that’s perfectly fine. Even if your rating drops in the contests, keep participating. If you stop, you’ll miss out on the practice of solving questions within a set time limit. You need to review every topic during the summer break, even if you have covered those DSA topics beforehand. This helps you remember and understand the concepts better. Regular practice and review are important to improve your coding skills.
I used to spend more than half a day solving problems, or at least figuring out how to approach them, for some topics. However, I realised that wasn’t the best approach, so I set a timer for every problem, say 45 minutes, and if I don’t get the approach, I’ll look up the solution and analyse why I didn’t get it. Sometimes, even when I have a clear idea of a solution, I find it challenging to write and debug code to ensure it handles all possible cases. To overcome this, I adopted a time-saving approach. Rather than jumping straight into coding with just the initial idea, I first write the pseudocode roughly on paper. This process allows me to consider all the edge cases and verify if my solution works. Once I’m confident that my pseudocode is thorough, I then proceed to write the actual code. This method helps me construct a complete and reliable code before I even start typing it out on the computer.
During the summer break, it was hard for me to stay motivated. Whenever I didn’t feel like solving or coding a problem, I talked to my friends. Sharing my struggles with them gave me encouragement and new ideas, which helped me feel motivated again and stay on track.
Yes, the department you belong to does matter. The opportunity was only available for students in circuital branches. For software development engineer (SDE) roles, Positions of Responsibility (PORs) or Extracurricular and Academic Achievements (EAAs) don’t significantly impact your chances, though they do enhance your overall CV. However, having a higher CGPA is crucial and will significantly improve your chances of being shortlisted for these roles.
Anyone who likes problem solving, enjoys coding, or is just curious about working in the tech industry should consider applying.
In a Google interview, they won’t ask about what’s on your CV; it’s just used to get you shortlisted. However, it’s helpful to include two to three projects in your CV. If you have good ratings on coding platforms like Codeforces and CodeChef, list those too. Be sure you can confidently explain everything on your CV, as not being able to discuss your own projects well can make a bad impression.
Before your actual interview, try to have at least one mock interview with a senior. This will help you get used to the interview environment. Additionally, have as many seniors as possible review your CV. Consistency and motivation are key to developing your coding skills. If you can’t solve a problem, don’t look at the solution right away. Spend some time thinking about your own approach first. However, don’t spend too much time on it; set a specific amount of time and stick to it. After reviewing the solution, analyse why you couldn’t come up with it on your own. Finally, maintain interaction throughout the entire interview. Share whatever comes to mind, and the interviewers will assist you in the proper direction.

1. Brief introduction and description of the offered role
Hey Folks!
My name is Samay Sawal, I am a third-year Undergraduate student of the Department of Mathematics enrolled in its BS course of Mathematics and Computing. I am a border of Rajendra Prasad Hall of Residence. I am from Pune, Maharashtra.
Some other things about me, I am the General Secretary at the International Relations Cell, and I targeted mainly software and data science roles in CDC.
I joined Google this summer as a Software Engineering Intern in their Cloud Team.
Starting with the coding round Google had given everyone a window of around 4 to 5 hours (I cannot recall exactly) wherein you can give the test (on HackerEarth) of 1 hour during this window. The coding round had two questions - one was medium level while the other one was on the tougher side (probably tougher among all questions). I was able to solve 1 question completely and for the tougher question around ten out of the fourteen test cases. There were many sets of questions, and it was pure luck as to which set you got.
So, this time Google had changed their selection procedure, though the number of rounds remained the same (i.e. 2) but they had a screening round before day 1 on Friday itself where they took a technical round. Out of all the shortlisted candidates, some were now shortlisted for the technical round on Day 1.
● In the screening round, I was asked around questions, one was a simple question based on an array, one was on the implementation of heap sort and one was based on graph traversing which I’d say was a medium to hard-level question. I was able to solve all the questions and by EOD I got to know that I had been shortlisted for the Technical Round on Day 1.
● On Day 1, Interviews started at 10 a.m. and I got my Interview call around 11:30 a.m. as I had other Interviews lined up as well. For this technical round, I was asked three questions all based on Graphs alongside the Time Complexity and the Memory Complexity. While the first question was pretty easy, subsequent follow-ups were a little on the tougher side. I was able to code all three problems but faced issues with the time complexity and memory complexity of the first two questions (The interviewer was kind enough to teach me a bit about TC and MC :) )
I was pretty satisfied with both my technical rounds, but yet had butterflies in my stomach if I would get the role or not, and by the end of the day I got to know that I had been offered by Google for the SWE role.3. How to prepare for them?
Essentially the entire selection process only involved DSA and nothing else honestly!
I had followed Algozenith from the very start (around August of 2023) but did not do much during the semesters, I did DP in December and then covered Graphs in May. I covered the rest topics like Segment Tree, Binary Search, Bit Manipulation, etc, during the semester only. Other topics like Trie, Linked List, and all I covered in June. I saw that DP and Graph were important topics, especially for Google I read articles that Graph is the most common topic for questions, and thus I did Graph extensively, from At Coder, CSES, and ALgozenith Questions.
I gave regular contests on CF, CC, Leetcode, and AtCoder. Alongside this, I believe the regular contests organized by GOC are very important, and not only the live contest but past year's contest as well. I also did Interview Bit but wasn't able to finish (but as recommended by my seniors Interview Bit should be done at least twice completely). Apart from this for Coding, I did not follow anything else as Algozenith was exhaustive enough.
Apart from DSA I also revised Probability and Statistics from my class notes and solved questions from the book “50 Challenging Problems in Probability”. I did Object object-oriented programming from Algozenith.
For puzzles, I only followed Brain Stellar, which helped me a lot in my Interview with Nomura for their Quants and Strats Position. I believe that the summer vacation is very important and you should plan your day accordingly so that everything is covered.
If you are planning to get a Software or Quant role, DSA is very important. I started doing DSA early but had a lot of gaps in between, so I wasn’t able to have a proper grasp, maybe this might be different for you, but in my experience, I believe you should continue doing DSA without breaks (at least a little) so that you stay in touch. I will suggest starting as early as possible but even if you did not, at least cover basic topics like Sorting Algorithms, Binary Search, Graph, DP, etc.
The biggest challenge for me was DSA only :(
Although I was doing a lot, I was not satisfied with my results in contests. I kept going and one-to-one meetings with the instructor at Algozenith boosted my morale a lot.
6. Are there any specific requirements such as department, CGPA, or other criteria for this position? Additionally, do certain PORs or EAAs enhance one's chances of securing this internship?
The SWE Role of Google was open for only circuital branches, so yes Department plays a major role, coming to CGPA I believe CGPA is important, as it does play an important role in getting shortlisted for different roles in different companies, it is a major factor alongside the branch.
Coming to PORs, in my opinion, I don’t believe it is important in SDE roles. I did not include my IR Cell POR in my SDE CV on the CDC portal. Though they can be a good filler if you have space in your CV, and the same goes with EAA.
Anyone eligible :), if you are really into software development, you should apply for an internship role in such companies, because there is a lot to learn here and leverage the experiences of full-time employees here.
I believe many Day 1 companies for SDE roles (exceptions like Goldman Sachs) do not really grill you on your resume or even have a glance at your resume. But for that matter, I believe some of the major points that companies look into your CV is maybe course work (at least for me during the Goldman Sachs Interview), apart from this some internships and projects that you have done should be included and skills you have gained up till now. My seniors always used to say to me, “CV me white space nahi Diana cha hiya zyada”. So try to fill your CV with all the self-projects or internships you have done, your achievements, etc.
The entire process might be a little overwhelming, even I was very anxious even after getting 6 shortlists on Day 1, but just hang in there, your efforts will pay off.
Now especially for students aiming for SDE roles, be thorough with all the concepts of DSA, and try to solve interview bit as many times as you can alongside all the contests that GOC has conducted to date (there are very good PYQs which will help you a lot). Probability and Statistics are very important as they directly ask you questions from this subject (I was asked in Nomura and Morgan Stanley). Solve puzzles from Brain Stellar (I was asked a medium-level puzzle from Brain Stellar in my Nomura interview).
All the best!Keep faith in yourself, We all know you will do well 😃

Hello everyone, I am Shelly Aggarwal, a pre-final year undergraduate at IIT Kharagpur enrolled in its B.Tech course of Instrumentation Engineering. I am a boarder of Mother Teresa Hall of Residence. I joined Google as a Software Engineering Intern this summer.
I got into Google through the Career Development Centre, IIT Kharagpur. The process consisted of an online assessment (on 15th July) and two rounds of interviews (on Day 1) -
a. Online Assessment-The online assessment consisted of two coding questions to be solved within a 60-minute time limit. There were multiple questions (around 5), all of medium-hard difficulty, which were randomly distributed among the students.
These were the questions I got in my assessment:- Median path: We were given a tree of n nodes, each with a value. We had to find the sum of the medians of all simple paths of odd length. I don’t remember the details.- Hybrid maximum: Some hybrid sequence was given. An expression was also provided, calculating the difference between the sum of maximum values and the sum of the minimum values in the sequence. We had to find the maximum value of the expression for all possible sequences.
I can’t recall the other questions exactly, but this might be of some help:- Maximize collection of toys- Something related to Prime Paths in a grid using BFS
Aim to give your best in the oa. Even if you cannot solve both questions, it is absolutely fine. There are still chances of getting a shortlist since OA is one of many criteria for getting one, specifically for Google.
b. Technical Rounds:There were two technical rounds. The first round was held a day before Day 1, called the preliminary round, and the other was on Day 1 if you get through Round 1. I was asked to code in a Google Doc, not a code editor, in both rounds. So, the focus is entirely on your conceptual understanding and logic and whether you can implement it. In both rounds, I was not asked any HR questions, not even my introduction.
Round 1:The interviewer asked me three questions. The last two were a bit difficult versions of the previous question. The first question was easy and was based on a tree where alternate nodes had to be painted black and white. The next question was of medium difficulty, where I was asked to paint alternate levels in black and white. I found the last question challenging and could not optimize the time complexity. I don’t exactly remember the previous question, but it was based on a similar concept, where painting the tree in an optimized way made it challenging. In all three questions, time complexity analysis was asked. It lasted for around 60 minutes.
Round 2:I found this round simpler than the previous one. Again, I was not asked for any introduction or HR questions, and we jumped straight to problem solving. I was asked two questions and had to optimize the solution I provided in both. Both were based on strings and the basic concept was storing the frequency of the characters in a map. This round lasted for 30–40 minutes.
When we talk specifically about Google, you just need to be strong in DSA. They don’t generally ask anything apart from DSA. I would still advise you to be thorough with your CV as the interviewer might ask questions about any point they find interesting.
The most important part is DSA; practice as many questions as you can. Once you are comfortable solving questions of a particular difficulty level, increase the difficulty level. There are a plethora of online resources and platforms where you can practice. It was pretty overwhelming when I started preparation during the summer breaks, and I felt lost. Hence, I prepared from Algozenith and also solved questions on Leetcode. Binary search, two pointers, graphs, trees, and dynamic programming are the most important topics.
As for how many questions to solve, solve as many as you can. I cannot provide an exact number. Keep solving until you are comfortable with that topic or difficulty level. Many also ask how much time to dedicate to a single question. For medium-difficulty questions, give 20 minutes to formulate an approach, and if you cannot think of one, look for a few hints or a slight idea and try again. Initially, it might take 40 minutes, but eventually, try to solve them within 30 minutes. Also, it is okay to look at the solution; what is wrong is forgetting it later. Make a note of what the approach was and what the basic concept that you missed was. Also, try to give contests on Codeforces and CodeChef regularly for upskilling yourself.
I started DSA preparation in January 2023, but due to the semester examinations and assignments, I could not prepare for it properly. I started a structured preparation during the summer breaks. But that is not recommended at all since it became very stressful. Start preparing for it as early as possible. Managing acads and coding simultaneously might become challenging, but practice DSA whenever possible. Whatever I did during my semester helped me immensely in escalating my preparation during summer breaks.
As I mentioned earlier, it becomes very confusing amidst so many resources, and figuring out how to proceed becomes difficult. So, I took a course to structure my preparation. Also, I contacted seniors to clarify any doubts regarding the preparation for that profile. Moreover, keeping your motivation up always during your preparation is difficult. There were times when I had self-doubt and was unsure of the outcome. But it is important to remember that you are giving your best, and whatever has to happen will happen. Just give it your best shot!
Google was open for all circuital departments. As for PORs, they don’t matter at all for an SDE role at Google. However, a high CGPA significantly increases your chances of getting a shortlist. Once you are shortlisted, you are judged solely based on your coding skills. This is not only true for Google, but generally, having a good CGPA always helps.
Anyone interested in development and enjoys coding can apply for this job.
Mention previous experiences, such as internships and projects you have worked on. Good contest ratings and academic achievements can distinguish your profile. Just be thorough with whatever you mention in your CV. If you are not confident about it and it gets reflected in your interview, it significantly reduces your chances of getting an offer.
Just give it your best shot :).To be honest, I believe both hard work and luck play a significant factor in your getting a shortlist for a company. You cannot control the other one, so just focus on working hard; the rest will follow. The more we focus on the end result, the more stressed we are. So, just stay motivated and ask your seniors and peers for help if you are stuck. It’s all about giving your consistent effort.

A) Hello everyone, I am Abhijeet Singh, a 4th-year undergraduate student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, enrolled in its Dual Degree course. I will be interning at Graviton Research Capital in the summer of 2023 as a software engineering intern.
2) How did you get into GRAVITON RESEARCH CAPITAL LLP? What was the selection procedure?
A) Graviton’s selection process began with a 60-minute test comprising two questions: one on tree-based DFS and another on Bit Manipulation. Successfully solving both questions was required for shortlisting.
The interview consisted of two 30-minute technical rounds followed by a 15-minute HR round. The first technical round started with a coding question combining Dynamic Programming and Bit Manipulation, followed by a puzzle. The second round began with a problem with calculating expected values using the linearity of expectation principle. Subsequently, I was asked several questions on core computer science topics, primarily focusing on Deadlock and Synchronization in Operating Systems and Pipelining and Caching in Computer Organization and Architecture. The second round concluded with a question involving fundamental probability concepts.
The HR round had standard HR questions, and I was offered the position at the end of this round.
A) To prepare effectively for a role like the one at Graviton, it’s essential to build a strong foundation in both competitive programming (CP) and core computer science fundamentals. Start early with CP, focusing on key topics such as dynamic programming, graphs, and trees, and participate in contests on platforms like Codeforces and AtCoder. This practice will enhance your problem-solving skills and help you perform well under the time constraints of coding tests.
Additionally, deepen your knowledge of operating systems, computer architecture, and software engineering principles, particularly in areas like synchronization, pipelining, caching, and object-oriented programming. However, for B.Tech students, proficiency in software engineering topics is generally sufficient.
A) I began my specific preparations for this role three months before the CDC internship process. However, I started competitive programming (CP) in my first year, which significantly aided my preparation. I strongly recommend starting CP as early as possible; early engagement allows ample time for practice, helping you reach a proficient level. Additionally, from my observation, those who start CP early often secure better offers during CDC internships.
A) Initially, I recognized my weaknesses in Dynamic Programming (DP). To overcome this, I tackled numerous DP problems on Codeforces and other websites.
Additionally, during the final three months before the CDC internship process, I sometimes felt demotivated. Fortunately, I was part of a study group of three people. Our regular discussions helped maintain our focus on our goals. This group was also instrumental in resolving doubts and bolstering my preparation.
A) Generally, HFTs are open only to students from circuital branches, and it’s advisable to maintain a CGPA of 9 or above. However, in my experience with Graviton, CGPA did not seem to play a significant role. Additionally, holding positions of responsibility or excelling in extracurricular activities does not necessarily improve one’s chances of securing an internship in HFTs.
A) Anyone with a keen interest in Computer Science fundamentals and curious about how these principles can be applied in the fast-paced world of high-frequency trading should consider applying for this job.
A) For companies on days 1–2, a CV isn’t usually critical. However, for HFT positions, it is beneficial to highlight your rankings in competitive programming competitions and your ratings on platforms like Codeforces and Codechef. Also, try to mention some good projects related to Computer Science in your CV.
A) Try to make the best use of the three months before the CDC internship process; this can make a lot of difference. Try to remain calm during coding tests and strive to avoid errors in your implementations, as these can consume critical time needed for solving other problems. Don’t be disheartened by a few poor performances in tests or interviews, as there will be a lot of opportunities. The CDC process is demanding, so remember to take care of yourself. Maintain faith and confidence in your abilities, and believe that you will secure a good offer in the end. Stay focused and resilient, even when things don’t go as planned.

A) Hello everyone! I am Barun Parua, a 3rd year undergraduate student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, enrolled in its B.Tech. course. I will be interning at Graviton Research Capital LLP as a Quantitative Researcher in the summer of 2024.
A) Graviton had separate tests for Quant and Software roles, and we were allowed to attempt only one of them. The Quant test had a total of three questions. Two of the questions were of medium difficulty involving probability and proof techniques and the last one was a question based on counting techniques. After this round, they shortlisted 7–8 students for the interview stage.
The interview stage had two technical and one behavioral round. In the first round, the interviewer first asked me a basic introduction and then some brief details about my projects. Then he moved on to some quick probability and statistics questions. After that, he asked a few algebra and combinatorics questions in which I had to present my proper proofs along with the answers.
The second round started immediately after the first round ended and the difficulty of questions was slightly higher than before. Questions were from algebra, inequalities and number theory in this round. Finally in the behavioral round, I was asked a few general questions
like hobbies, strengths, weaknesses etc. After this round, the HR (the last interviewer herself) informed me that they wanted to extend an offer and I was happy to be selected for the role.
A) For the Quantitative Profile, good mathematical aptitude is needed. Knowledge of proper proof techniques is important as in the tests or even in the interviews, whenever you make a statement, you must be able to prove why it is correct. Apart from that, some proficiency in Algebra, Combinatorics and Number Theory is required for solving the questions. A good way to practice for these topics is to go through any standard Olympiad book to learn the basic results/theorems and solve some problems to get an idea of how to present the solution. Probability and Statistics is also very important for this profile. Revising the class notes of the Prob Stats course is more than enough along with some practice from books like “Heard on the Street” or “50 Challenging Problems”. Also try to solve some problems from the Brainstellar website in order to get yourself familiar with “Brain Teasers”.
A) I started preparing for this role around June in my last summer break. I would suggest aspirants to start in their 2nd/3rd year summer break for this role as it would provide them time to get familiar with the topics.
A) I got less time due to a late start and hence I was not able to devote proper time for both Software and Quant roles. I started to focus more on the Quant role during my later stages of preparation. This helped me to perform better at Quant tests at the cost of not doing very well at Software ones.
A) There is generally a high CGPA cutoff for all Quant roles (>=8) with some companies requiring even higher. Additionally, most HFTs only allow circuital students to sit for their tests and interviews. However, it is not always the case and aspirants should always check the eligibility criteria for all companies.
PORs or EAAs are not important with respect to the Quant role.
A) Aspirants who have good Mathematical Aptitude and Problem-Solving Skills and have an inclination towards Finance should apply for this
job. Note that no Finance knowledge is required for the tests/interviews.
A) Projects and prior Internships are always good to mention as that tells the interviewer that you have good development skills. Apart from that mentioning Achievements such as International Olympiad Medals, JEE Ranks, NTSE/KVPY selections would also benefit the aspirants as these show good Aptitude skills. Mentioning CP platform ratings is also a good idea if the aspirants want to target both Software and Quant roles. PORs and EAAs are not very important but they can still be mentioned to show a diverse skill set.
All in all, CV does not play a very important role for HFTs and it is more about the interview presentation that is important.
A) I would say that the students should prepare calmly for the internships and be confident in their preparations. Do not be demotivated if you don’t do well in one company’s tests as there would be many companies just for Day 1 and 2.
Also, sometimes even after performing your best, you might not be selected so at that point, just keep your calm, relax a bit and move on for the next test/interview as the CDC results are not a function of just
your performance and knowledge, there are a lot of hidden factors at every step which you cannot control.

A) Hi! My name is Vinay Siwach. I am a 4th undergraduate student from the Department of Chemical Engineering, specializing in Financial Engineering. I am from Sirsa, Haryana. I will be interning in ITC this summer as a KITES intern.
A) Students from CH, EE, IM and ME are allowed to apply for ITC.
A) There’s not much separate preparation required. Be well-versed with your CV, you should be aware and should be able to defend each and every point on your CV. Avoid mentioning things in your CV that you aren’t confident about. Make sure you fill out the form very carefully and accurately. For the technical round, having a good grasp of your core concepts and their practical applications will definitely help. Also, giving/practising your logical thinking and communication skills beforehand through mock interviews or case studies will definitely help in the GD and subsequent rounds.
A) FMCG roles won’t require very different preparation. A better pathway would be to be well-versed in your CV, know the selection process of FMCG companies, and prepare accordingly.
A) Lack of proper preparation resources and an unpredictable selection procedure could create some hurdles. FMCG’s selection process could be very unpredictable, so always giving your best and having a backup would be good. Connecting with the relevant seniors who have cracked the internship earlier and being in touch with them throughout the process will definitely help throughout the process.
A) Having a good CGPA is definitely a plus point, but it is not a hard rule. The key will be how well you can present yourself and give logical, on-the-spot answers. PORs also might help, they might be a good talking point in the final interview, but definitely not a must to crack the role.
A) ITC offers interns the chance to engage with substantial real-world problems, providing a highly enriching experience with a steep learning curve. It’s a transformative opportunity that I highly recommend to anyone determined to make a meaningful impact. Projects are assigned based on your strengths and the skills emphasized in your interview and CV.
A) Approaching the appropriate senior based on the target profile you are preparing and keeping in touch with him/her might help. Identify where your interests and strengths lie and prepare accordingly. It is not the end but the start of your lifelong journey. Stay motivated throughout and talk to friends or seniors whenever you feel low, consistently improving from the mistakes you made earlier. Have a calm and concentrated mind, alongside giving your best efforts.Don’t focus on the uncontrollable part. You got this!

A: My name is Sayantan Sarkar. I am a third-year undergraduate student of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, enrolled in its B. Tech course. I am from Howrah, West Bengal, and a boarder of JCB Hall of Residence.
I have been offered an internship in the Mechatronics profile of Jaguar Land Rover. This is a core profile and mainly delves into the automotive industry. JLR is a fast-progressing company manufacturing luxury cars and is the luxury brand of TATA.
A; I am a huge automotive enthusiast and I was primarily aiming for the core profile in the CDC Internship process. Being in TeamKART, the official Formula Student Team of IIT Kharagpur, I was already aware of the intricacies of automotive engineering and this helped me a lot in getting selected to JLR. Apart from that, my passion for core mechanical engineering was another driving factor behind my selection.
The selection procedure consisted of 2 rounds:
A: Aptitude Section: For this section, there is no strategy of preparation. It all comes from IQ and lots of practice. Here, students generally solve the questions in GFG and many other websites that offer aptitude questions. You can practice them in your leisure time, but there is no requirement for a dedicated timeline of preparation.
Mechatronics Section: For this part, You need to cover the concepts of the subjects in the curriculum of the Mechanical Engineering Department and the related disciplines. The most important chapters asked here are Mechanics of Solids, Fluid Mechanics, Design of Machine Elements, Kinematics and Kinetics of Machines, Basic Thermodynamics(including all the cycles there in the syllabus), and IC Engines. A knowledge of Basic Electronics is important too. However, the Basic Electronics course is conducted in most of the departments, so it carries on well. Solving the last 10 years of GATE Mechanical PYQ will surely help in acing this section since plenty of questions come of similar pattern.
Coding Section: For students applying solely for the Mechatronics profile, only 2 coding questions were asked, and were of medium level. For preparing, regular practice of easy and medium-level competitive programming problems on platforms like Codeforces and Leetcode will do. The coding round has less weightage for this profile and questions are doable too.
A: Preparation starts from the day you start reading Science. Every concept you gain, and every problem you solve adds to the insights you gain and eventually helps in the long run. Being in TeamKART, we were trained extensively in theoretical as well as hands-on training during our tenure. Also, being in other research groups like ARK and KRSSG in their mechanical teams, every work I did, the designs I contributed, and the environment that I got, added more and more to my love for core mechanical engineering, and hence the knowledge came forth almost spontaneously. As the summer vacation started, I started revising my concepts from my second-year courses and also started practicing MCQ questions. I was aiming mainly for JLR and Bajaj since they were the only 2 core mechanical companies(especially, in automotive roles) coming within CDC Day 2. I also found some nice projects to work on under a few professors which diversified my role.
According to me, the ideal time for starting preparation is as soon as the summer vacation begins. Many students start to get involved in mugging up random things for CDC during the semester and feel like being ahead of time will help. Maybe it does but sacrificing semester studies is not worth it, is what I feel. Whatever others might tell, CG, to some extent, MATTERS, at least it is required to keep CG above 8. The companies might not give a CG cutoff officially, but internally, it does help in filtering out students. So, better concentrate on the semester when it is going on. It is advisable to find core projects and extensively work on them during the 3 months of vacation. You can also take up Internships and projects in other IITs or Industries, only if it gives you ample time to carry out your preparation simultaneously.
A: The major difficulties I faced during my preparation were:
A: The specific requirements are as follows:
A: According to me, people with true dedication to core mechanical fields, be it interest in vehicle dynamics, be it fluids or robotics, etc. are advised to surely apply for this profile. Again, there is this system that if you apply for more than one profile, you will still have only one test. For example, if you are applying for both mechatronics and software, then you will have a single test with aptitude, mechatronics, and software sections, with 3 coding questions instead of 2 and higher weightage on software. So, selection in a profile is where you scored higher. The chances of selection in those cases are lesser. So, avoid applying in more than one profile. Another point is if you are not seriously targeting your future in the core, it is not recommended to waste your time preparing intensively for this job. Better invest it wisely in preparing for your profile. Don’t just fall for peer pressure.
A: My CV at the time of applying for CDC is attached in the Google form. The major points you need to highlight in your CV for people targeting this profile are as follows:
A: Last advice I would give all of you aiming to grab CDC this season, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. You have skills you have never thought of. As I said before, accept this as a phase of life. Don’t take it as a necessity of your life like you did during your entrance preparations. Rather, take it as a learning process. For example, suppose, you read 3rd-year courses during this time at the end of the 2nd year, even if you don’t crack the exam, you will lessen your load during the upcoming semester. If you appear for GATE the following year, again that will be useful, since you know the concepts and already tried yourself at the PYQs. As I said, every knowledge you intake, you will get paid for that for sure someday. CDC is a long process, continues till next year April, and happens in 2 phases. Keep patience and move on. If you get selected in interviews, don’t consider it as a question-answer session, rather look at it as a discussion. The more you get a vibe check, the more successful you will be. They always want you to reach the answer by some means, and they have no reason to demote you. Be honest, and be true to yourself. Don’t fake answers. If you can’t answer some questions, admit it. If you want to take time, ask them for 2 minutes to think. And don’t think quietly, talk with yourself while thinking of an answer. This will help the Interviewer know your thought process. This increases your chances of selection. Well, even after all of this, if nothing happens, you have MITACS, DAAD, SPARK, and a lot of other internships coming ahead. Then there are projects here too under the professors. Life is way too big. Don’t just get stopped by any hurdle coming by. Move forward. The world is waiting for you. Remember, you are an IITian.
ALL THE BEST EVERYONE !!!

Hello, Abhyank this side. I am a 4th-year student of the Department of Geology and Geophysics and a boarder of Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya Hall of Residence. I’ll be joining L.E.K. Consulting as part of their Summer Associate Program. With the program, interns are expected to get a thorough experience similar to that of a full-time associate at the company. Getting them to understand the know-how of consulting is their primary objective. Interns work with case teams and participate extensively in real-time client interactions while getting mentored by seasoned consultants.
2) How did you get into L. E. K. Consulting? What was the selection procedure?
L.E.K. began with their introductory session for the students, providing insights into the company and its culture. Following this, the process commenced with the submission of CVs. Approximately ten days prior to the Day 1, shortlists were released based on these resumes. Once shortlisted, all of us were assigned Buddies (current employees) to practice guesstimates and case rounds well ahead of the actual ones.
On Day 1, we encountered an intense but rather exhilarating selection process. It commenced with a senior consultant presenting me with a case study centered around a prominent healthcare entity. Subsequently, I faced a guesstimate round, where I was tasked to estimate the number of Ferris Wheels in the US. These initial rounds were followed by a Partner Round and an HR round, each contributing to the overall evaluation process. The last two rounds were mainly about my resume and past experiences evaluating a cultural fit with the company.
When it comes to preparing for consulting interviews, one of the most important steps is to begin by crafting a strong CV. Ensure it showcases a balanced profile, emphasizing your academic accomplishments, previous internships, positions of responsibility (PORs), and involvement in extracurricular activities. Reviewing shortlisted resumes from seniors can provide valuable insights into the expectations and standards.
Explore some resources that will help you become more familiar with guesstimates and case interviews. There are some great YouTube channels out there that offer excellent tutorials. Victor Cheng, Aaditya Agarwal, and IIT Bombay CIC are just a few examples of channels that provide valuable guidance. Gain a deep understanding of frameworks, specifically those related to profitability and market entry, and participate in collaborative practice sessions with a small group of 3–4 peers.
Implement your learnings by practicing with useful sources such as Day One, Case Interviews Cracked, Case Compendium, and other Case Books from the likes of IIM A/B/C. Utilize the opportunity to participate in several practice rounds with seniors and assigned buddies who can provide their expertise to help you refine your approach.
When starting, it’s immensely crucial to focus on structuring your thoughts rather than solely aiming for the correct solution. Select a range of case studies from different industries and employ a MECE (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive) strategy when developing your solutions. Strive for constant improvement after each case, prioritizing the quality of your cases rather than the quantity.
I started my preparation with a slight delay but was fortunate enough to receive guidance from seniors to compensate for the lost time. I recommend everyone to initiate their preparation by focusing on crafting their CVs initially. This process calls for thorough attention and a significant time commitment.
Ideally, aspiring candidates can kickstart their case prep around June, allowing ample time to gradually ramp up the intensity of these sessions. Starting early provides the advantage of structuring your preparation meticulously and also mitigating the likelihood of last-minute hurdles or rushed efforts.
5) What difficulties did you face while preparing to be at L. E. K. Consulting? How did you overcome them?
Particularly, navigating the compressed timeline between shortlists, buddy rounds, and the actual interviews can be a challenge for many. However, maintaining a robust preparation regimen beforehand was instrumental in overcoming the same. By dedicating sufficient time well before and familiarizing oneself with case interview frameworks, you can be better equipped to navigate the demanding schedule.
Staying connected with seniors emerged as a crucial strategy for managing the anxiety posed during these days. Their first-hand experiences and insights proved invaluable in offering guidance and support throughout the period. Their advice not only helped me stay focused but also provided reassurance during moments of doubt.
While there are no specific departmental requirements, maintaining a decent CGPA certainly enhances your chances of securing a shortlist. Although there are no hard cutoffs, a higher CGPA is generally advantageous.
Highlighting your involvement with positions of responsibility (PORs) can greatly strengthen your candidature. It showcases your accountability and leadership skills, which are highly valued in the consulting role. Similarly, participation in extracurricular academic activities (EAAs) reflects a well-rounded profile and a genuine interest in fields beyond academics.
Moreover, past internships, especially those relevant to consulting or demonstrating analytical and problem-solving abilities, can further help your application.
Consulting presents an intriguing opportunity for individuals with a natural aptitude for problem-solving and structured thinking. If you are someone who has a knack for solving complex challenges and thrives in fast-paced environments, you can give consulting a try.
It’ll offer you the opportunity to work across a wide range of sectors and collaborate with the best minds to solve complex business and strategy cases. The dynamic and challenging nature of the work creates a unique opportunity for rapid learning and helps you drive meaningful impact around real-world problems.
One valuable piece of advice I received from a senior was to review numerous CVs while staying true to your strengths. If you believe that your academic achievements are your greatest strength, don’t hesitate to showcase them proudly. The same principle applies to internships, PORs, or EAAs. Highlight your unique skills as companies seek individuals with diverse backgrounds and distinctive abilities.
First and foremost, it’s important to maintain perspective throughout the process. While securing an internship is undeniably crucial, it’s important to keep in mind that not obtaining one in no way defines your capabilities. Understanding this perspective can help alleviate unnecessary pressure and allow you to approach the process with a more balanced mindset.
The internship application process can be mentally taxing, so don’t hesitate to reach out to your peers and seniors for support. Engage in open and honest conversations, share experiences, and lean on each other for guidance and encouragement. Remember, we’re all in this together, and supporting one another creates a healthy environment for growth and success as a community.
You need to stay resilient and focus on growth over this period. Regardless of the outcome, view the internship application process as a valuable learning experience. Take the opportunity to reflect on your strengths and areas for development, and use this insight to refine your skills and strategies for future opportunities.

Plus, you’ll have a great opportunity to explore the startup space and experience the exciting, fast-paced environment that comes with it.
2. How did you get into LimeChat? What was the selection procedure?
I got into LimeChat through the standard selection procedure by the CDC. The process started with an online test round, from which some students were shortlisted based on their performance and CV.
The interviews took place on the third day of the internship process and consisted of two rounds. The first round was technical, where I was asked a few DSA questions (which were fairly simple), and some puzzles, and we had a detailed discussion about a full-stack project listed on my CV. This round lasted about 1.5 hours.
The second round was conducted by the founder of the company, Nikhil Gupta. It was more of an HR round, where I was asked about my positions of responsibility (POR) and some general HR-type questions. It felt more like a conversation than a traditional interview. Nikhil shared his enthusiasm for the startup space and asked if I was ready to be a part of it. This discussion lasted around an hour, with Nikhil speaking for most of the time. The interview concluded with a spot offer, and we also discussed how to approach our career paths. It was amazing, not like any traditional interview.
Preparing for the selection process at LimeChat wasn’t too intense, but I made sure to cover a lot of ground. Here’s how I went about it:
Exploring Opportunities at KGP: I took advantage of the various opportunities available at KGP. Even though my department was Electrical Engineering, I had an M.Tech specialization in Financial Engineering, which depicted a mix of skills.
Projects and Specializations: I worked on projects in full-stack development, machine learning, and NLP. These projects helped build a solid technical foundation.
Academic Achievements: Back in school, I cracked the KVPY and NTSE exams, which were highlights in my academic journey.
DSA Preparation: I spent about two months brushing up on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), which was crucial for the technical interview.
Leadership Roles: I was the General Secretary of Tech at RK Hall, and we won the General Championship that year. This experience helped showcase my leadership and teamwork skills.
Extracurricular Activities: I also played basketball for my hall and won a silver medal, which added an extracurricular angle to my profile.
This combination of experiences, projects, and achievements was the core of my preparation and helped me stand out in the selection process at LimeChat.
I began preparing for this role about two months before the interviews. However, there’s no ideal time to start improving oneself. My advice would be to stay curious and explore constantly. For DSA, two months of preparation should suffice. But beyond technical skills, confidence and effective demonstration of abilities are crucial during interviews.
While preparing for this role, I didn’t face many difficulties because I genuinely enjoyed the process. However, balancing multiple responsibilities and maintaining focus can sometimes be challenging. What helped me was having a supportive group of friends. They were always there to lighten the mood and release the stress.
For this position, department or CGPA doesn’t matter as much as your willingness to work at a startup and your relevant skills. Having certain positions of responsibility (PORs) or extracurricular activities (EAAs) can enhance your chances, as they demonstrate leadership, teamwork, and a well-rounded personality. Ultimately, your passion, skills, and readiness to contribute to the dynamic startup environment are what matter most.
Anyone who wants to explore the startup space and learn about its various aspects should ideally apply for this job. If you are passionate about technology, eager to work in a dynamic environment, and keen to develop your skills in backend development and full-stack engineering, this role would be a great fit for you.
Have some full-stack projects and be confidently prepared for them, do try to showcase leadership either by PORs or EAAs.
Don’t push yourself too hard. It’s natural to see your friends getting offers, but instead of feeling pressured, celebrate their success and keep working diligently. Remember, internships are just a stepping stone and luck often plays a significant role. Focus on finding an opportunity where you enjoy the work rather than worrying too much about the stipend. Enjoy the process and stay positive.

Hey, you all! I am Khushi Agrawal, a pre-final year undergraduate student from the Department of Electrical Engineering, enrolled in the B.Tech course for Instrumentation Engineering. I am a resident of Sister Nivedita Hall of Residence and hail from Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. I received an offer from Mastercard on Day — 3 of the CDC internship drive for a Software Development Engineering role, and I will be working with the Tech (Payments and Networks) team this summer.
2) How did you get into Mastercard? What was the selection procedure?
Firstly, we had an Online Assessment round of 60 mins at Nalanda. It consisted of two easy-level coding questions. Despite their simplicity, they included some critical test cases. I managed to solve one question completely, but I recall one test case not passing in the other question. Nevertheless, I qualified for the interview round scheduled for Day 3.
There were two interview rounds, both conducted online via one-on-one video calls, but we had to go to Nalanda for the interviews.
In the first round, the interviewer asked me to introduce myself and provide a quick overview of the projects listed on my resume. This was followed by 2–3 questions about my research internship and the SWG website development I had mentioned. Then came some behavioral questions such as: Why Instrumentation Engineering? What are your future academic-related plans? What is one thing you wish you could have contributed to as a tech-savvy individual but couldn’t? The interviewer was quite calm throughout the process and didn’t ask overly challenging questions. Thus, the first round concluded smoothly.
I was asked to wait for 10 minutes before being directed to join another meet link for the second round. I began with my introduction again. Then, the interviewer asked me a few CV-related questions, to which I responded to the best of my ability. After that, he presented a problem statement: there are emails of four categories arriving randomly in the inbox, and you need to classify them according to their category. How would you approach this? Initially, I answered using a data structure logic, thinking it was a DSA question. However, it turned out to be an ML-related question, so my response wasn’t very apt. He then moved on to ask the difference between Red-Black trees and Binary trees in data structures and concluded by asking what I know about Mastercard. The second round was completed, and after a few minutes, I was informed that I had been selected.
Preparation for SDE role follows a focused and a one-way path: becoming well-versed in Data Structures and practicing questions consistently. I purchased a self-paced DSA course from GeeksforGeeks, which covered all data structures in a systematic and easy-to-understand manner, greatly aiding my theoretical understanding. Additionally, there are various YouTube channels like Luv Babbar and Take U Forward that provide detailed explanations, which were quite helpful.
For practice, platforms such as LeetCode, AtCoder, InterviewBit, and the CSES Problem Set are invaluable. In particular, I find Codeforces to be the best platform for competitive programming, as it trains the brain to solve complex problems quickly, which ultimately helps during the Online Assessments. I primarily used InterviewBit for its curated questions that can be completed in a short time, covering almost all types of problems.
I started preparing for this role in my second year. However, it was challenging to balance coding with the course curriculum and other commitments on a regular basis. As a result, the bulk of my preparation occurred in the last three months. These three months were crucial, affording ample time to focus solely on key aspects of the selected profile.
Staying on track with regular problem-solving was the biggest challenge in my preparation. I, along with my friend, created a basic schedule to cover all the important topics. Discussing challenges with others made it more interesting and kept us going. With so many applicants, it’s tough to stand out and get picked for interviews, but at the end of the day, patience is the key to everything! :)
Mastercard hired for two roles: SDE and Product Development Intern. The SDE role was open to students from circuital branches only, with no CGPA criteria, while the Product Development role was available to students from circuital + Mechanical peeps, with a CGPA requirement of 7.5. Although some companies do not specify a CGPA criterion, maintaining a decent CGPA significantly adds to the points and truly helps in the shortlisting process.
While companies generally do not pay much emphasis on PORs and EAAs for this role, including them on your CV makes it look more substantial and noticeable.
Anyone who is interested in coding and enjoys digging deep into the technical aspects of anything can apply for this role. The majority of companies hire in this domain because of its demand and necessity, so it increases the chances of grabbing an opportunity at any recognized firm to a greater extent.
CVs usually go through the ATS machine, which helps with the shortlisting process. Some key points to keep in mind while you prepare your CVs are:
a) Present projects and internships concisely in 2–3 bullets, focusing more on numbers to increase the credibility of your accomplishments.
b) Maintain a clean and well-structured format by keeping each point to a single line, spanning from left to right.
c) Mention self-initiated or tech-related projects that are relevant for an SDE role, highlighting the tech stack utilized in projects.
d) If you have a considerable rank in coding platforms, then it is worth mentioning.
e) Avoid making spelling and grammatical mistakes since it lowers down the impression.
A particular dedicated time is given for CV preparation, so one must seek feedback from seniors to ensure an up-to-the-mark presentation. Also, avoid mentioning those things which you are unaware of or are unsure of, as this can pose a problem during the interview process.
The CDC process can be overwhelming. It’s not just about preparation but also about staying positive and confident till the time situation is in our favour. Rejections and seeing peers land internships early can bring self-doubts, but remember, good things take time. Keeping up the effort and having a resilient attitude, clubbed with support from friends and family, helps overcome challenges and breakdowns. And hey, there are plenty of opportunities out there, so don’t be afraid to explore different paths. Just give it your best shot, and you’ll find the right fit eventually. Keep your head up, and keep going!
Results are generally not in our control, but persistence and a never-give-up attitude matter most in the long run. Wishing all the very best to everyone!

Ans: My name is Vanshika Prakash, I am a 4th-year undergraduate of Mechanical Engineering (Manufacturing Branch) enrolled in its dual degree course. I joined Mastercard as a product development intern this summer.
My profile mainly involves manipulating and analyzing complex, high-volume, high-dimensional data from varying sources using various tools and data analysis techniques and developing commercial insights in the Cyber and Intelligence Team.
Ans: There was a CG cutoff of 7.5. The selection procedure has mainly 3 rounds. The first round was an online test of around 1hr in Nalanda. It had 5 sections — Aptitude(10), English(10), SQL MCQ(5), SQL coding, python coding. Each section was timed to 10–15min. Aptitude was CAT level while SQL MCQs were basic questions on functions.
There were 2 interview rounds each of 1hr. In the 1st round, the interviewer asked me to explain my projects. He asked questions on SQL like the difference between SQL and Excel, framed a detailed example, and wrote a query. He went on to ask me 2–3 puzzles and basic ML theory questions like variance, bias, plots, and a few HR questions.
In the second round, the interviewer asked questions about card fraud. The discussion extended beyond theoretical approaches, to everyday solutions to minimize the risk of our customers falling victim to fraudulent activities.
Ans: The skills required to work in this domain are mainly SQL and data science concepts. For theoretical concepts of ML referring blogs such as Analytics Vidhya, medium, Towards Data Science, Geeks for Geeks, etc. SQL can be learned from the Udemy course — SQL for Business Analytics, all questions in the interview were answerable from it.
Puzzles can be done by brains-tellers, herds of the street, 50 challenging problems in probability, and Geeks for Geeks, questions are directly asked of them. I would suggest preparing some standard HR questions.
Solving 1–2 CAT papers would be an add-on to your preparation.
Ans: I had done some projects in my 2nd year. Doing projects would be beneficial and will give you better knowledge about data science concepts as well as improve your CV. I started rigorously preparing during the summer break before CDC. I would suggest doing DSA as many Data roles ask questions on them. There is no “ideal time” to start preparing, you can begin anytime and yet perform well, it is all about gaining knowledge and experience.
Ans: The main difficulty in preparing for this profile is that there are too many resources you get, which leaves you puzzled and sometimes leads to studying the same thing from many resources. This leads to a lot of waste of time. The main task before starting to prepare should be filtering resources and focusing on only one you find relevant. I followed just one source for coding, SQL, and ML concepts.
Ans: The profile is open only for the circuital and Mechanical Departments. It has a CG cutoff of 7.5. There are no PORs or EAAs necessary. At least one ML project would be beneficial for having a conversation during the interview.
Ans: According to me, someone who is interested in working with a lot of data and is good at problem-solving can apply. It doesn’t require much prerequisite and the only thing required is high motivation and determination to work.
Ans: CV should have at least one relevant ML project/intern. Highlighting the methods used, results, and numerical statistics in your project details is better. Utilize AI tools such as ChatGPT for better framing of sentences in a concise way. Try to make your CV simple to understand and you should have a good grasp of all points, and courses mentioned in your CV. It is not preferable to mention anything you are not confident about in your CV as it adds a negative impact to your profile.
Ans: My advice to the students facing the upcoming CDC season would be to prepare well for the process in all aspects, and be confident. The process is very vulnerable so don’t be disheartened. Try to learn from your mistakes in past tests and interviews and overcome them. Don’t isolate yourself from your friends, family, or seniors. Stay positive and keep putting in effort. Best of luck to all!!

I’ll be interning in the role of Summer Intern Business Analyst at McKinsey & Company. Briefly, It is a role that is aligned to management consulting as its cor consulting. So there were no expectations that you should have from the program, as the work gets as dynamic as it could. Also, it is the first time McKinsey is hiring UG Interns and in general, it is going to be something that other management consulting internships there are for undergraduate students.
2) How did you get into McKinsey & Co.? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure is considered to be very rigorous in management consulting; it was similar to other management consulting firms as well. McKinsey & Company, BCG, Bain & Co. and LEK. These were some of the management consulting companies that were hiring through the CDC. They came over here for selection through the CDC portal itself.
We applied with our CVs followed by a CV shortlisting process where they shortlisted several candidates according to the needs that they wanted to hire for the summer intern. After the CV shortlisting, there were also two buddies allotted to you from McKinsey.
Two buddies are there to help you throughout the process so that if you have any doubt regarding if this is the right role for you?; how to prepare for it; how to present yourself to have the best shot of making it. My buddies at McKinsey were very helpful. They helped me understand what McKinsey has to offer for a UG student. Secondly, they were ready to answer all of the doubts that undergraduate students will have before an interview.
So after that on the day of our interview, we had one round that was the only deciding round. It was a round where we discussed my CV first. We discussed some pointers about it; about my past experiences and then we moved on to solve a study. After that, we had a very brief conversation and then we ended the interview.
Consulting and Management Consulting as a role is something that you cannot just build up within a day or a month. It’s the whole personification of how your personality is; how inquisitive, how curious you are to a lot of things, and how you are readily able to understand and able to adapt to different situations and able to learn about different industries. As a Management Consultant, You look forward to being staffed in various industries that are there to offer along with various functional roles and various studies that will be going on in different functional parts of a study.
So you will have to have that analytical skill, aptitude, and curiosity to explore what’s there to offer in-depth and bring out the best in your clients. So to prepare for the interview one standard thing that all companies have in Management Consultants is we prepare cases throughout. So for case preparation, there was something that I followed was a structure that was not very linear, but was a mix of a lot of resources. For me telling it out the resources will be in this order advising someone to start with:
Case Interview cracked IIT Bombay video series. The four videos will give you a great insight into how the conversation goes and what it is about. So the videos are at an average of one hour each but they’re very insightful for a starting point. Next ahead you should go through the case interview cracked book, but the chapter till drilling was something that I studied till.
After that, I went to Victor Cheng’s content, and the videos were there on YouTube for Victor Cheng’s consulting preparation. They have been something that has been going on for a long time. Victor Cheng’s materials give you a very good insight into what exactly consulting Industries across the globe are with its whole essence of “What consultants are supposed to do?” “What kind of behavior is expected from a consultant?” “What do you do in consulting?” and he takes you through a lot of different basics that are very necessary and after this point, one will have a good idea of what consulting is.
Now you can start dwelling on checking how case interviews are. So there are two processes to it. You need to find what is adaptable and most suitable for your situation.
One process is you just read about cases in the book itself and prepare your thought process accordingly. That is what I did. I read a lot of cases about how they were being solved before reading the solution, I just used to think for myself and take myself on the journey, but not utilizing the whole 30 minutes of doing it with someone. I just wanted to cover as many cases as I could through this.
The second method is to just start by practicing cases watching a few videos of how case interviews are done people doing it with someone one-on-one and then you find a partner for yourself who is also preparing for the same and again find a partner that you also think has the same aspirations as you, as he/she and you should be putting the same amount of time so that you both progress together. So having a partner with whom you get comfortable and then he/she plans to switch profiles is something that might hurt your preparation. So have a partner that has a very strong resolution towards preparing for this role.
Now compared to the first method, you watch a lot of videos before you read about the case and you watch the videos on how cases are being solved and what kind of different case studies are there to solve in this interview and then you get under preparation focusing on your presentation, on-the-spot thinking and maintaining composure and structure throughout the mock interviews. So this was the first process where you study the material first and then you get a hang of it then you practice. The second one was where you practice directly with someone and you want to go watch a case, try to do it yourself, and then you check out the solution. So these two are the starting points, I will advise you very highly to complete this process very thoroughly and as early as possible. Now, you can check out some standard books that are out there.
IIM Ahmedabad casebook and SRCC casebooks; I personally liked SRCC especially because of the way they present a solution and the variety of cases there. It is very easy for one to read the book and get a grasp of what the solution is and how it is taken through a process.SRCC also mentions which year, the company asked about this case in interviews itself in the recent years only.
Apart from these two, you should also check out the Communique guesstimates compilation book which is something that helped me personally quite a lot to get comfortable with “out of the box” thinking. To be very honest the guesstimates compilation by communique was something that is a very necessary fundamental that one needs to have because in various cases, you never know what kind of guesstimate you are supposed to make or what kind of guesstimate you are supposed to skip or just make an assumption and move on, but just to have an idea about how different kinds of question could come around involving guesstimates this book is a must. Once you are done with all this material you can head towards by reaching out to your +1 batches and senior batches on their preparation and what their interview process has been and ask them to do a case with you. You will get amazing insightful inputs from your senior batches.
So there were some steps that my buddies used, and the case preparation was timed while we were practicing cases. The timer was to ensure that you are not wasting time around and you are very thorough with what you are saying how many questions you are asking and how much time you are spending on each process. So during the interview itself, once you have seen the videos you can form your structure of how you take a case question with yourself.
So this is where you note down the questions where you ask some questions on the case itself. Then you reiterate, and then you get ahead with forming them with a preliminary answer. You check with the interviewer if he or she is okay with your answer or what your track is going to be in that process and then you go ahead and then you have recommendations and suggestions with this your end of the case. But this is something that you can change, one need not follow a set structure they can always change things up that is suitable to one’s personality.
Next to this is to be practical at the start of your preparation and make sure you are making the Case Notes while you’re solving a case during your preparation phase cleanly and thoroughly, one should not leave this aspect that they will improve that in the end. Else one develops a habit of solving cases in that way only that you will have to change once again when you are closer to your interviews.
So from the start only make very good and crisp case notes and case pointers that you’re doing while on the case. And once you’re done with all of this, you should check out materials from universities across the globe. I mean Top Business Schools across the world; Their case books go in a lot of depth into various concepts of Business and Consulting for example pricing cases, mergers and acquisitions, growth cases, etc. The cases are very insightful, giving you experience of various demographics. One will find it to be very intuitive and aptitude-heavy methods that are being used here that are derived from the fundamentals.
I did a lot of case preparation after my second-year summer, but later I switched to a dual degree. So I was not only prepping for CDC that year but this summer also. I did not start that early personally because I knew I had a bit of preparation at the back of my hand. So I needed to just brush it up and study more and practice more but for one ideally, if they are focused and you are having aspirations then they should start as soon as possible. So that you can prepare for the interviews of other profiles while you are giving tests during the CDC internship. You will be having group discussions, and test rounds for numerous companies, so it’s not suggested to leave the preparation for later.
You might be traveling, you will be busy with other different things that will be going on around you as there will be other profiles that you might be aiming for so start as early as possible. Even if you’re not a consulting aspirant, having case preparation helps a lot in any kind of interview because of what it gives you. It gives you an edge in that you can structure your answers. You can structure your whole conversation and structure your whole interview in a way that is more presentable in any given scenario. Hence, Case Preparation will help you in any given scenario and profile, having a very small knowledge of how this is being done will do wonders in any different interviews that you’re sitting for. The ideal time to learn this would be something around one month before the interviews, but again, it depends on how aspirational you are and how sure you are about having this. A lot of students do not get shortlisted as a large number of students apply and the shortlist is actually on the lower end of the double digits. Hence people think they’ll start preparing for it once the shortlist comes out. Still, it is not a demotivating factor that you are not well prepped and your batchmates are more prepared than you. You still can cover up given the right methodology on how you are studying and how you’re preparing yourself.
In terms of difficulties, YES, there will be cases that you will be out of ideas, cases that are very tough to go through that might not click with you at the first instance. So this should not be demotivating for anyone who is preparing for it because you always need to be ready with an answer and come out with your best-case scenarios utilizing your toolkit properly you can produce a structure, understanding the raw data provided without having zero knowledge of the industry.
But these scenarios will give you a better chance to work on this aspect where you might be shunted upon what the industry is about and you have no idea during an interview. For me to overcome this first part, came with your general knowledge and business acumen. General knowledge and business acumen are two different things. General knowledge is about the new current updates and what policies are in motion or effect whereas business acumen will be insights into a specific industry and this could be divided into two aspects, what functional groups there are inside and what outside influences are there to an industry or a MNC.
Having insights into functional operations is important apart from that there might be industry insights across various industries. There are some trade secrets in every industry, you need not know every single trade secret, but you need to have an understanding of what industries are about. At the bottom line, you should be aware of the difference between an airplane manufacturing company and an airline company.
That is the bottom line that you should be aware of to what business acumen is out there. Some good preparation strategies to build up your business acumen are to watch YouTube case studies in general on government policies, how they are being built up, different company policies, how the company has spanned out, growth of a specific company. I would highly recommend Think School, it was something that I followed very closely. They covered business across industries and a lot of different strategies for international and national governance. They cover a lot of things, and their way of covering is very structured in a way that one would be able to adapt to this way very well.
You need not have a specific department, CGPA, or exact criteria, but your CV in general and in the broader sense should be a reflection of you working to the best of your ability and utilizing your time properly throughout your college years. I’ll rephrase this part once again. Your CV should convey a story that you always have been trying to do best. You have been curious throughout the years that you have spent in your college. You have always been there to try out different things and excel at them also.
You need not excel at each and everything, but you should be able to stand out because of your own experiences, what you have done, about what you have been through. From a CV one needs to understand or evaluate that if you have the aptitude or ability to adapt to such a new work environment, giving output at high efficiency.
Hence, these are something that are looked upon. Now transposing it to our KGP culture. Yes, positions of responsibility provide you an added exposure to manage teams, work in different teams, face scenarios, and work towards a common goal as a team. It gives you a very great exposure to honing your communication skills, presentation skills, and various other challenges that you face throughout a Position of Responsibility tenure, helping you with your aptitude and your mental solitude. But in the end, it is not necessary to have a position of responsibility.
Again, there are no such hard-bound criteria. But your CV should be a very good reflection of how you are there, trying your best, striving for the best, and achieving a lot of different things throughout your years.
This will be very self-reflective. In brief, a student who is inquisitive, curious throughout, and ready to work long hours to make my goals come through, along with this thorough and sincere character. In brief, students who are ready to adapt, learn, and strive for the best will be ideally applicable for this job. And I believe it will be all of us as we are here in IIT Kharagpur. But in the second instance, people who want to have interest in this profile. A lot of people have an interest in tech and that is very well aligned with their interest in technology and various other tech roles that are there to offer. So it does not mean that these are different things, but it’s just people’s interest in different roles. And if they’re aspirational for this profile, McKinsey provides you with an amazing starting point.
Don’t get demotivated. Keep trying throughout but it’s fine if it doesn’t align with your aspirations, as a person you all are much bigger than just this. CDC is not a true reflection of what KGP has to offer and it is not a reflection of you. CDC, to be very honest, can be very random at times or there could not be enough opportunities or opportunities that are made for you.
One need not worry as things in life will take time as we are all starting. We all are just undergraduates, to find our exact fit role and exact job profile that we love to work upon, takes time for everyone. So you might not find an internship or you might even find an internship, but you might not even like it. So there could be various situations. CDC is something that students do stress a lot about. But in my opinion, to be honest, They should NOT because you are graduating from a top prestigious IIT and you’ll figure your life out anyhow possible and you’ll be doing great. You’ve already made it once, you’ll make it once again. And CDC in general for internship and placement are a very small thing that you won’t even recall, once you are 10 or 15 years down in your career.
9) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
From my personal experience, it could be anything that you want to tell your interviewer or tell the people who are looking at your CV. For me personally, I just mentioned what I thought brought out the most impact on me, challenged me a lot, and also something that I like. So for example, in my extracurricular activities, I put down some of my hobbies including landscape photography and volunteering at various organizations. This was something that I liked and if asked about it, I could talk about it. So it need not be necessarily that you need to follow a set format. You can be yourself while you are creating and pouring yourself down on that one white paper. So make a CV that is a true reflection of yourself and bring out not just the best in you, but you in general, how you are, what you are, what you strive for and what have you done so far.

Hello everyone! I am Jainish Solanki, a student of the department of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Kharagpur and a boarder of Rajendra Prasad Hall of Residence. I was offered the role of Technical Intern, Menon & Menon Pvt Ltd for my summer internship through CDC. I am currently working in the Incubation Cell, Menon & Menon Pvt. Ltd. I have been working on the Manufacturing Process Optimization of small-scale aircrafts along with other works in my internship tenure. At the time I am writing this article, I have completed around a month at my firm and have been getting different works as a part of my internship.
2. How did you get into Menon & Menon Pvt Ltd.? What was the selection procedure?
Menon and Menon Ltd came as a part of my CDC process. Though it came a bit very late in the CDC internship. It came around February-March period nearly at the end of the procedure (in the 2 nd phase). I had applied on the ERP as a core role being given and got to know about its incubation cell. I researched a bit about the company and understood its main work as a company making cylinder blocks and cylinder heads. I saw the Job description of a Startup kind of idea and applied to the company. The selection procedure was a technical interview followed after a CV shortlisting through the company. There was only one round of interview with no other tests.
My interview was majorly technical prospect along basic CV grilling. My whole interview was based on the projects that I had done in my college years, my previous internship and a few questions based on my core knowledge of aerospace such as stall speed and a bit on the structural simulations that I had done in my previous internship. They asked me the results of that simulations thing but not to worry, they do not expect such explicit details in particular but you need to understand everything you have written in your CV and be able to defend it. I was also asked about the relationship of the relation of stall speed and runway length that too I was not able to tell, a major fuckup that I thought after my interview. Rest the major questions part was their asking me to explain my projects and intern and breaking me midway taking me to the next project’s overview.
After my onboarding, I asked about why they selected me and had an answer that it was majorly on the basis that if the person is being able to answer majority of the questions a person is being asked and if he could truthfully with confidence and with some major details, they understood that the candidate is good to onboard as a technical intern. Being clear with the details in your resume is a must I feel as with respect to any interviews with a basic knowledge of the background on the work which you are going to work in the company. In my case, I did not have an exact idea of how the company/Incubation cell is working on the Aviation/Aerospace perspective. Hence I researched a bit about the company online and tried to understand their work which was also asked to me in my interview.
In my interview, I had given a brief overview of every work that I had done in my college life and they had also an interest if I had been involved in any other activities at IIT Kharagpur. I had a CGPA of 7.93 at the time and CV mentioned it, 8.0 as a CG is not a criteria to get shortlisted if you are thinking such. If you have relevant projects/Internships in your CV and you can establish them properly in front of the interviewer it’s good to go.
As a part of my advice to the preparation, try to do good projects, get a clear understanding of everything you are writing in your resume. Plan your CV beforehand the CV portal opens. You should be well versed with your projects and their details of how you have done your work and what worth did it carry and what you learnt. Rest taking too much tension for the preparation doesn’t help you in the CDC season. Take it light and try to understand the procedure of CDC. Keep applying and getting to interviews if you can. Many companies come in the CDC phase 1 and phase 2. You could also explore some resources related to core through SWG App or the resources shared by seniors. That helps a lot with the tests of the companies and also keep friends by your side at the time of CDC tests, kya pata kaam aa jaayenge tumhe, ifykyk. I had my friend with me during Bajaj Test and it went smoothly.
During my CDC process, I had started off working with the CV portal, trying my best refining, reviewing and making my Resume perfect. As I was majorly concentrated for core companies, I had not prepared specifically for Menon and Menon as such, but prepared for core roles in general. I prepped by clearing my fundae of my project and internship and taking a keen interest on the ongoing subjects in the aerospace curriculum. The hard work for Menon & Menon started after my CV shortlisting. I reviewed the company website in a brief, I understood my CV better and tried to understand my job description in detail. I had also appeared in an interview for Bajaj, so was a bit confident about my interview and grilled my CV for it.
For those preparing for Menon & Menon specifically, I would suggest get a good grip on your CV. Understand your role and try to give every answers truthfully without any fears. In general core companies are thought to be very hard to crack but interviews for internships are not as hard as they seem. You can easily crack it but need to do enough core projects and if you can do, a normal internship, good if you have, done a good pointer or else it’s also fine. According to me you should do CV grilling and review and prepare for the interview after the shortlist comes through CDC with the company profile in mind.
I did not face major difficulties in my preparation as I had understood the interview procedures as I had been actively involved at Student Welfare Group and other societies in my college journey so far along with an interview shortlist for bajaj. I had seniors who helped review my Resume for the core profile that were the aerospace seniors that I had got connections through Aerospace Engineering Society and my seniors at Student Welfare Group. One major difficulty was understanding my role as the company was a major manufacturer of cylinder blocks and heads and how would they input aviation into the equation but that was not a great problem to encounter and tried to research about previous interns through LinkedIn.
Also some demotivation comes after a rejection from a company such as Bajaj, I too felt that and also had many of my friends getting secured a good internship with fancy stipends but the main idea is to keep patience and giving your best. Keep giving your best and never losing hope, you don’t know maybe you get an offer. In my case, I lost hope for getting a CDC intern but kept applying to companies coming in the CDC process and luckily got this offer. I was also like CDC is not be a cup of tea, it is a big thing but many a times it happens you achieve it. You just need to constantly work hard for it and also try applying off-campus. There might be or might be not your luck to get one but never lose hopes of getting an internship. You will surely land one.
According to me there are no such specific requirements required for this intern but there are always some specifications which are the aim of the recruiters and you never know that. I feel CGPA is not a major cut point of your CV, if you have done enough projects and a bit of involvements, it is a good to go sign. Similarly there is no such criteria for the position. According to my experience a certain POR and a bit of involvements improves your chances of getting selected in a company. In my interview after my general introduction, I was asked about my involvements in IIT Kharagpur till now and also was asked a bit about them. Being a bit involved helps to show that you are interested in working with team and would be a better fit than the one only studying EAAs don’t generally affect your selections but being in NCC might be a plus point as they might think you are disciplined. Rest no need to worry if you don’t have such things in your CV, you still might be able to get a good chance to land as an intern here.
Anyone who is interested in getting a startup exposure, with wanting to get a real overview of how machine shops work with a mass production and getting a decent stipend with lesser workload could apply for this internship. You could handle multiple projects or internships with this intern if you have a bit of skill. If you are lucky, you could even get a nice group of IITian friends with you having fun and bonding to create memories throughout your time at the internship. I got a great group of 4 of my friends from IIT Kanpur and IIT Bombay. A person also more into the manufacturing side of the aircrafts could apply here for an intern. The role might change a bit in the few years and might include different roles but it’s majorly on aviation, hydrogen startups and a bit of manufacturing of cylinder blocks and heads.
I feel the major points that your CV should mention are your core projects/internships if you have done any and a bit of course projects that you might do in your coursework or with professors. Also mention any competitions that you even might have participated in should be mentioned. Also mention any extracurricular or PORs that you might hold.
CDC is a process that you might feel overwhelming. Logo ki lag rahi hongi interns, you are there with no shortlists, no interviews just applying and getting rejected. Don’t worry if this happens to you. Lag jaaye then it’s well and good but if it doesn’t work out for you, try to grab interns off campus, try to not lose hope and gain more experience of interviews. Become more confident of yourself and the process. There are a lot of rejections in life but you need to keep moving further and get better at different phases of life. Internship is just a phase. In worst conditions, if you don’t land an intern you have an option to just take a project under a professor at IIT KGP. The professors of Aerospace Dep are good, they generally give projects. Just approach them with a bit of learning attitude. That would be also counted as a summer internship. Also you can anytime approach me for any doubts or problems regarding the CDC. Seniors are always there for you. Approach them in a respectful manner they will always be there for your help. So don’t worry but create backups and keep applying to various places, you will surely get good internship!!
Wishing you all the best for your internship season!!!!

1) Brief introduction and description of the offered role:
A) Hello Everyone,
My name is Muskan Gupta, and I am a prefinal year student from the Department of Chemistry. This summer, I have had the incredible opportunity to join Microsoft as a Software Engineer Intern. I am working with the SMB (Small Medium Business) team at Microsoft, where I am involved in developing, testing, and maintaining software solutions that help small and medium-sized businesses grow and thrive. This role allows me to collaborate with a dynamic team to solve complex technical problems and contribute to the deployment of Baselines.
2) How did you get into Microsoft? What was the selection procedure?
A) I got the offer through the Career Development Centre (CDC) at my institution, where I applied for the Microsoft Software Engineer (SWE) role. The selection procedure involved several steps:
The entire process tested my technical skills, understanding of data structures and algorithms, and my ability to effectively communicate my thought process.
A) To prepare for the selection process at Microsoft, focus on the following areas:
A) I began learning coding in my second year of college with a focus on mastering Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and web development. Starting early gave me the advantage of time to thoroughly explore and understand these concepts.
Ideal Time to Start Preparing:
In my opinion, the ideal time to start preparing for a role at a top tech company like Microsoft is as early as possible. Here’s a more detailed explanation:
2. Competitive Programming:
3. Time Management:
4. Mock Interviews and System Design:
5) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile?
A) The primary difficulty I faced while preparing for the Microsoft Software Engineer role was nervousness and anxiety about the interview process. Here’s how I addressed and overcame 1.
2. Interview Experience:
A) Based on my personal opinion and experience, specific requirements for the Microsoft Software Engineer Intern position may vary, but here are some general insights:
Department and CGPA:
 Department: While candidates from circuital or technical backgrounds may have a familiarity with technical concepts that can provide them with an advantage, it’s important to note that candidates from non-technical backgrounds can still excel in securing internships at companies like Microsoft. As someone not from a circuital background myself, I understand the initial concern. However, what’s truly valued are strong technical skills and a passion for technology, both of which can be demonstrated regardless of academic background.
 CGPA: A higher CGPA can improve your chances of being shortlisted for interviews, as it may serve as an initial screening criterion. However, Microsoft also values practical skills and experiences, so a lower CGPA may not necessarily disqualify a candidate if they can demonstrate strong technical abilities. PORs (Positions of Responsibility) or EAAs (Extra-Curricular Activities):
7) In your opinion, who should ideally apply for this job?
A) In my opinion, candidates who should ideally apply for this job are those with a strong passion for coding, problem-solving, and a keen interest in learning new technologies. While proficiency in Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) is essential and forms the basis of technical interviews, it’s crucial to understand that the practical application of these concepts may vary in real-world scenarios. Microsoft, like many tech companies, operates at the forefront of innovation, constantly evolving and adopting new technologies. Therefore, candidates who are adaptable and eager to learn are highly valued. While the foundational knowledge of DSA is important, what’s equally if not more critical, is the ability to apply problem-solving skills to tackle real-world challenges and to quickly adapt to new technologies and frameworks.
Candidates who thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy collaborating with diverse teams, and possess a growth mindset are well-suited for roles at Microsoft. This is because the company values individuals who are not only technically proficient but also possess the drive and enthusiasm to continuously learn and grow within the ever-changing tech landscape. Therefore, those who are passionate about coding, possess strong problem-solving abilities, and are enthusiastic about embracing new technologies are ideal candidates for roles at Microsoft.
A) Detail significant projects you’ve worked on, highlighting their objectives, your role, and the technologies utilized. Emphasize the deployment process, platforms used , and any challenges overcome.
A) The journey through the CDC process, from meticulous preparations to the intensity of assessments and interviews, can be draining, often testing one’s resolve and motivation. To counter this, I advocate for the formation of study groups among peers. These groups not only serve as forums for discussing problem-solving strategies but also provide a source of mutual support, keeping each member motivated and accountable to their study schedules and deadlines. Regular interaction with peers allows for the exchange of insights and progress updates, fostering a sense of camaraderie and collective growth.
Moreover, seeking guidance from seasoned seniors in CV review is paramount. Their seasoned perspectives offer invaluable advice for fine-tuning application materials, ensuring they resonate strongly with potential employers. Don’t hesitate to leverage their expertise; their mentorship can be instrumental in navigating the intricate landscape of internship applications.
As you embark on this internship journey, remember to stay resilient, stay focused, and above all, stay optimistic. Your determination and perseverance will undoubtedly pave the way for success. Wishing you all the best for your upcoming endeavours!

A) Hi there. I am Manas Chandarana, a 3rd year from HSS department. I am a boarder of Rajendra Prasad Hall of residence. I am from Ahmedabad, Gujarat. I love playing basketball and have also represented the institute at various competitions.
The role offered is Sales & Trading and is divided as follows-
Note: We are part of the fixed income division of the investment bank (so nothing to do with equities)
A) First round is the test. To appear for the test, there was no official CG criteria but an unofficial one followed (around 8.75 I think). The test is basic aptitude (no puzzles), English (comprehension, grammar, listening to an audio and answering questions, speaking on a topic for 1 minute) and finance (it had 15 questions and you had to have some background in finance to answer those questions. Qs were related to balance sheet, financial ratios, ledger, etc.) .
Note: I only appeared for the S&T test, if you want to appear for both S&T and strats and quants, there is a coding round as well.
The test was followed by the interview. The shortlisting criteria is high CG (above 9 mostly). The interview consisted of 3 rounds- 2 Technical, 1 HR.
The first round was around 10 minutes for me and I was asked about derivatives and bonds-
How to value a bond, what is YTM, give example of a future contract followed up with how would you hedge if rates move unfavourably to your position, example of an options contract and another follow up on it, which would you choose out of the two, example of a swap contract.
The second round was 30 minutes long and I was asked puzzles, prob & stats, bonds and derivatives-
How does the price vs yield curve look like, definition of duration, convexity, what is the change in price for 1% change in yield up/down, easy puzzles directly from brainstellar, definition of covariance, correlation their bounds, Qs on normal distribution and variance, definition of option greeks and their bounds, basic Qs on derivatives.
The Third round was HR. General Qs like why this role, this company were asked. They also asked about a situation where I had displayed leadership abilities.
A) Aptitude and English are very basic, so no preparation is required. I was studying for the CFA exam, so the finance round was not a problem for me. Others can use the CFA curriculum for the same or some other finance resource. I don’t think you can do much for the CV shortlisting process since it will boil down to a high CG criterion.
For the interview basic knowledge of finance (read at least about bonds and derivatives as the role is for the fixed income division) is expected and you need to be thorough with your CV as they can grill you on your projects. Puzzles can be practiced from brainstellar, heard on the street, 50 challenging problems (the usual).
Note: My interview was purely finance based but I assume if I had relevant projects I could have talked about them.
A) I was not preparing for this exact role; I just knew I wanted to go into finance. I had started reading finance from the 4th semester and also utilized my summers for the same.
Start as early as possible since profile building for finance/consult roles takes time.
5) What difficulties did you face while preparing for Morgan Stanley? How did you overcome them?
A) I’ll answer this in general for finance roles I was targeting and not Morgan Stanley. I did not have any PORs and good interns and was not able to overcome this. But I had a good CG and knowledge of finance, so was able to get 2 shortlists out of the 3 I was targeting.
A) Only thing that matters is CG and basic knowledge of finance. Everything else is an addition. No department preferences. PORs and EAAs do not enhance the chances, I feel.
A) A general interest in finance should be fine, cause at this stage you do not know which field in finance you want to be in exactly. The internship should help you figure out where in finance you want to be in or whether you want to be in finance or not.
A) Talk to seniors who have secured an intern last year for the companies/profiles you are targeting. Ask them about the things you could do with the remaining time. Get your CVs reviewed by them. I had talked to them after getting shortlisted; do not do this, talk to them before hand and clear all your doubts.
Read financial news and do mock group discussion with your peers (Nomura does have a GD and the topic is related to the general economy e.g. in our time it was about whether it will be a soft or a hard landing.)
Lastly, just be confident during interviews and group discussions; it truly shows.
Keep faith in yourself, We all know you will do well 😃

A) Hello! My name is Tejas Saxena, and I am a fourth-year undergraduate student in the Department of Chemical Engineering, specializing in Financial Engineering. I hail from Mumbai, Maharashtra. My primary focus is in the field of Finance, and I have earned notable certifications, including Chartered Financial Analyst (Level 1) and Financial Risk Manager.
I recently received an internship offer from Nomura, where I am working in their International Wealth Management (IWM) division. I am currently working as a Global Markets Analyst at their Powai office in Mumbai.
A) Nomura is one of the largest investment banks in Asia and the leading Investment Bank in Japan has an impressive global footprint. At Kgp, Nomura typically recruits for three roles: Global Markets (GM) Analyst, GM Algo Quant, and Wholesale Strategy (WS). Although I was shortlisted for both WS and GM Analyst positions, I ultimately received an offer for the GM Analyst role, which I will elaborate on here.
Nomura’s selection process begins with the release of the shortlist, which happens about two days before Day 1. On Day 0, shortlisted candidates participate in Group Discussions (GDs) for the available roles. Those who advance past the GD stage proceed to Day 1, which involves around 3–4 personal interviews (PIs). Successfully navigating these stages culminates in an internship offer. Now, let’s delve into each part of this process.
Group Discussion: The GD typically revolves around a current macroeconomic issue prevalent in the Global Financial Markets. For my session, the topic was, “What are your thoughts on inflation? Will this inflation in 2023 be sticky or not?” The discussion lasted approximately 12 minutes, excluding the 3-minute preparation time, during which recruiters meticulously noted our points. After the discussion, they cross-examined us on our statements to verify our understanding and ensure we weren’t merely reciting information without theoretical or empirical backing. For instance, I mentioned Fitch downgrading the US credit rating, highlighting potential shifts from equity to bond markets as seen in 2012. The interviewer asked me to explain what Fitch is and the significance of credit ratings. The session concluded with a puzzle on contiguous sequences, which we had to solve in 5 minutes.
Personal Interviews: Most of the questions directed at me during the interviews were centered around my CV. I had prior internships in Corporate Strategy, Equity Research, and Data Analysis, along with several finance-related projects. The interviewers focused particularly on my Equity Research internship and finance projects. Each interview lasted around 40 minutes. Given that I had cleared CFA Level 1 and FRM Part 1, the interviewers extensively grilled me on finance-related concepts. Although I struggled with some probability, statistics, and puzzle-based questions, my strong foundation in finance compensated for these areas. I underwent two interviews for the GM Analyst role and one for the WS role, followed by a 15-minute HR interview. Subsequently, I received the internship offer.
A) I cannot stress enough the importance of thorough CV preparation. You should know the contents of your CV inside out. Imagine being woken up at 4 a.m. and having to defend a particular internship or project on your CV without hesitation. Be ready to answer 5–6 follow-up questions about each item. If your project or internship aligns with the interviewer’s expertise, they might delve into a 20-minute discussion on that very topic.
Having a solid grasp of finance is a significant advantage. If you have completed internships or projects in finance or have cleared exams like CFA or FRM, you can use this to steer the interview. Questions like “What are your two favorite financial securities?” or “Which market would you recommend to an investor?” are opportunities to guide the conversation toward your strengths. For instance, you could mention Equities or Fixed Income and discuss valuation methods, or talk about Options and Derivatives, elaborating on strategies like Straddle, Strangle, or Butterfly Spread. But most importantly, if you do not know something, then don’t try to talk your way out of it by giving a random answer. Your interviewer would most likely be in a director-level position in the organization, so you won’t be able to fool your way out of the interview!
General awareness of the financial world is also crucial. Be prepared for questions about historical events or recent developments in finance. For example, some of my peers were asked about the SVB and Credit Suisse collapse and its implications, while others faced questions about the 2008 Financial Crisis. These topics can also come up in group discussions. Therefore, stay informed by reading newspapers like the Mint, Bloomberg, or WSJ. I read the Financial Times and The Economist for global affairs, and The Ken for Indian and South Asian news daily.
As the interview nears its conclusion, interviewers typically ask if you have any questions for them. Always have insightful questions prepared. I recommend reading the company’s Annual Report, particularly the CEO’s letter to shareholders, to understand the company’s plans. This allows you to ask informed questions and even offer suggestions based on your understanding. Additionally, know the key personnel in the company and read about previous interns’ experiences. Attend the company’s presentation carefully and consult seniors who have interned in the role, as you might be asked about the specifics of the role. Lastly, soft skills are vital. Ensure you speak confidently, conduct yourself professionally, and present yourself well.
A) I began preparing for this role passively at the beginning of my third year in August 2022, and more actively in January 2023 when I decided to pursue the CFA and FRM certifications.
The ideal time to start preparation varies for each individual. However, if you have no prior experience in finance or related domains such as quantitative analysis, consulting, strategy, product management, or data analysis, I recommend allocating at least a year to build a strong foundation from scratch. This timeline allows you to gain the necessary knowledge and skills gradually, ensuring a thorough understanding and solid preparation. If you are someone who’s already been preparing for Finance for a while, I would suggest not deviating for the sake of doing “extras” because your batchmates are doing it. Focus on what you have been doing, and try to achieve mastery at it.
A) At the start of my third year, my CV was practically devoid of any finance-related experiences, aside from my Financial Engineering specialization. Additionally, my CGPA wasn’t stellar, and I lacked positions of responsibility (PORs). Building a finance-oriented CV seemed like an ordeal!
To address these challenges, I first focused on improving my CGPA, raising it from 8.42 to 8.73. I then pursued courses and projects in finance, completed an equity research internship during the winter break, and secured a research internship at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley. The aim was to populate my CV with as many finance-related experiences as possible to increase my chances of getting shortlisted.
Furthermore, I took the CFA Level 1 and FRM Part 1 exams in May 2023 and by God’s Grace, successfully cleared both, which significantly strengthened my CV. I also sought advice from seniors to streamline my preparation and benefit from their experiences.
A) While there isn’t any specific deal breaker on paper, being in Financial Engineering or Economics can be advantageous. Having a CGPA above 8.5 is beneficial, although a CGPA above 8 can suffice. Nomura is unlikely to reject you if your financial knowledge is exceptional, even if your CGPA is around 8.01.
PORs used to be highly crucial, but my experience suggests that they are not indispensable. PORs can help if they provide relevant discussion points during the interview, but their absence can be compensated by finance-related internships, projects, or certifications.
A) Ultimately, if I may, it all comes down to professing your love for the realm of finance. Those who should ideally apply for this job are individuals who have a genuine passion for finance. Don’t treat it as a second, or a backup option. Understand the core concepts deeply — not just to clear interviews, but to satisfy your intellectual curiosity. Stay updated with the latest market trends and economic developments, engage in thoughtful discussions, and reflect on how finance shapes the world around us. When you truly love what you do, your enthusiasm and knowledge will naturally shine through in the interviews. This authentic connection with the field sets you apart, and interviewers will notice it.
I have seen people with impressive credentials — CFA or FRM certifications, numerous projects on complex finance topics, and internships at prestigious investment banks — fail to secure offers because they lacked a genuine love for finance. If you believe you have a true passion for finance and aspire to work in a firm where fundamental conceptual clarity is valued over professional accolades, then you should apply for this job.
A) As previously mentioned, aim to populate your CV with as many finance-related experiences as possible. These experiences don’t necessarily have to be strictly finance-related; they can encompass a range of fields such as quant projects, data science, or corporate strategy internships. Participating in competitions — whether in trading, equity research, quant hackathons, or M&A-related events — can also be valuable additions to your CV and serve as excellent discussion points during interviews.
A) If all of this seems daunting, I want to reassure you that many tend to over-hype finance interviews. It’s not as intimidating as it may appear. I’ve heard exaggerated tales of interviews lasting for hours, with candidates being scrutinized to the smallest detail on their CVs. However, my experience was quite the opposite. I found my interviews enjoyable and enlightening. I learned a lot from my interviewers, and the process felt more like a constructive conversation than an interrogation.
I understand the stress you’re feeling. We’ve all been there. I went into the process with doubts, but once I got through the initial rounds, my confidence soared, and I found myself enjoying the interviews. One of my interviewers, who is now my boss at Nomura, imparted valuable knowledge and made the experience incredibly rewarding. And remember, this advice applies broadly to other profiles as well.
In conclusion, don’t let the CDC process consume you. It’s an important phase in your college life, but it doesn’t define your worth. Keep perspective and don’t put your life on hold for it. With that said, I wish you the best of luck, may you excel in your endeavors, and may God bless you!

My name is Sneharghya Debnath. I am a third-year undergraduate student of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering enrolled in its BTech course. I’m from Kolkata, West Bengal. I received an internship offer from Nvidia in 2023 in the Hardware Profile. As an ASIC intern, one has to work on the design and verification of digital ICs.
There were two rounds — an MCQ test and a technical interview of 45 minutes.
The course on Digital Electronics in the 4th semester and the NPTEL course on Digital Electronics by Prof. Gautam Saha are sufficient for the concepts required. It is also good to have some knowledge of analog electronics — the underlying principles of digital circuits, for which Razavi is a great book. For the programming section — the 1st year course on Programming and Data Structures is sufficient (the Data Structures part isn’t even required). For the aptitude section, it is best to practice from the previous year’s papers. Verilog and Computer Architecture weren’t covered in my coursework as I just completed my 4th semester. I studied the basics of Verilog from Prof. Indraneel Sengupta’s NPTEL Course. Similarly, I went through a bit of Computer Architecture (the first 10–12 lectures) from the NPTEL course on the same. It is good to go through the concept of Static Timing Analysis, for which any YouTube Video is sufficient. For the puzzles asked in the interview, I went through some of the GFG puzzles.
I started preparation in the summer break after my 4th semester. According to me, this is the ideal time for aspirants to start their preparation.
The best way to understand/verify a complicated circuit is through simulations. Verilog simulations are helpful for understanding the digital circuits, while SPICE simulations can help in proper understanding of transistor-level functions. For any difficulty I faced during the preparation, first I used to consult books/notes/online material followed by simulation if not resolved by the above.
Students from Departments like CSE, ECE, and EE can only apply for the internship at Nvidia in the Hardware Role. The company had a CGPA cutoff of greater than 8. PORs are not necessary.
Students having a keen interest in Digital Electronics and Computer Architecture should apply for this internship.
Major Points to include in CV are:
It is very useful to solve the previous year’s questions to ace the MCQ test. For the interview round, the key is to be confident and share your thoughts, even if you’re unsure. The interviewers are more interested in your problem-solving skills and thinking approach than the answer.

1) Brief Introduction and description of offered role.
I’m Aryan Kumar, an undergraduate student in the Industrial and Systems Engineering department, pursuing a dual degree course. I sat for the CDC Internship drive and will have my internship in the Software Development role at Oracle. I’m a boarder of JCB Hall.
2) How did you get into Oracle? What was the selection procedure
Coding Round: The first stage was a 90-min online coding test. The test comprised 2 coding questions and 20 MCQs. I would estimate the coding question complexity to be medium to hard leetcode but both are tricky and MCQs are normally based on puzzles and code snippets. I did quite well in the test —100% of test cases passed for both questions and was moderately confident about expecting a shortlist.
Shortlisting Criteria: Shortlists were announced based on test performance. If you did all questions of the test then you might be shortlisted based on department or CGPA.Interview: Oracle comes with a total of 8 people, having 6 interviewers and 2 HR. All interview round was offline. All the round of interview was 1-1. I was the only person who had been shortlisted from the non-circuital department, that’s why I had 3-technical rounds and 1-HR rounds but circuital people have only 2-technical and 1-HR rounds.Round 1: I was a bit confused at the beginning when I had to introduce myself because I felt really nervous. This was my first time having a one-on-one interview in person, which made things even harder. As a result, I had trouble speaking clearly because I was unsure of myself. Thankfully, the interviewer kindly offered me some water, which gave me a short break and helped me calm down. After that, being in the interviewer's friendly presence made me feel more comfortable.To assess my technical acumen, I was provided with a pen and a set of A4-sized sheets to transcribe the code from the '#include' statement to the 'return 0' statement within the main function. It's noteworthy that I was not allowed to utilize function snippets, a caveat unique to my circumstance as someone with a non-circuit background.During our talk, the interviewer asked me questions based on binary trees, using trees in dynamic programming, and topological sorting. They also wanted to know about my past internships. What made it interesting was that I had to figure out and write the solutions for these coding problems on paper right then and there. I'd never done that before, so it was quite tough. But as we continued talking and I got more comfortable with the interviewer, my nervousness started to fade away. It was surprising how smoothly this happened, and I found it easier to handle the challenges that came up.
Round 2: This round was the same as the previous one, I had to write the coding question’s answer on paper. This round was a bit tough than the previous one where all the question was standard type like finding the sum in the range of each query using segment tree, knapsack dp with binary search, and standard bitmask dp(leetcode hard problem). Writing each question’s code from scratch was the only difficult part of this round. The interviewer also asked me more about my CV and my college courses. It was like they were asking me to explain what I had done before.
Round 3: This round was completely harder of all. I would estimate the question complexity to span 1400–1600 Codeforces ratings or so, the questions were definitely of a slightly higher level than the average CDC coding interviews that season. All questions need attention.
“All these three rounds had taken around 60-70 minutes each. So having patience is required.”
Round 4(HR): My starting question was “In my world of computer science, how can I help some non-circuital guy”. I answered gently and shared my experience in three internships in web development along with what I learned from them. He seemed pleased with my response. I also mentioned that I'm good at OOPs (which stands for Object-Oriented Programming). After all the technical questions, he asked about my day and the company. We had a casual chat that lasted around 25-30 minutes.
Here are some ideas to help you prepare for interviews at software companies on day-1 and day-2. Please follow these tips
1. During your winter vacation (December), take a course called Algozenth - 201. If you're new to programming concepts like the 'printf' statement in the C language, start from scratch and build your foundation in this one month. Even if you've taken the course before, it's a good way to reinforce your skills.
2. During the summer vacation, which is around 60-80 days, start working on LeetCode problems once you've completed about 40-50% of the Algozenith - 201 courses. Focus on dynamic programming and graph-related problems. Aim to solve at least 100-150 (dp + graph) LeetCode questions to become proficient."Before watching the DP and graph videos from Algozenith, make sure to watch the videos on YouTube by 'Strive' for both DP and graphs (highly recommended)."
3. As you complete around 20% of the Algozenith course, begin participating in the ABC contest (AtCoder Beginner Contest) held every Saturday at 5:30 PM. The first four questions are relatively easier, while the last four require more attention. If you can't solve a problem during the contest, try working on it after the contest (**very important).
4. In the final weeks leading up to interviews, learn Computer Science concepts related to Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs). Watch lectures 6 to 18 of the 'C++ by Saurabh Shukla' series and practice all the OOPs questions on InterviewBit (there are about 50 multiple-choice questions). If you have time, you can also explore subjects like Operating Systems (OS), Databases (DBMS), and Networking for additional knowledge. “Having a strong grasp of CS fundamentals, especially OOPs, is crucial."
I didn’t face many problems, but I noticed that many people started preparing late. Due to this, they were still polishing their CP skills during the tests instead of targeted interview prep which that time should ideally be reserved for. So, it’s best to follow the recommended early preparation, which should be enough for people with average skills.
The way they choose people is more focused on competitive programming(CP). If you've done it before and enjoy coding, you have an advantage.
Hey CDC folks, I know the road ahead might look hard. But believe in your effort – it will pay off. If you're not from a circuit background and don't get picked by a company right away, don't get discouraged. Your hard work won't go unseen. Every day, you'll see the results of your determination. Even I didn’t get any shortlisted in day-1 companies. I was quite frustrated with the way the shortlisting criteria were being used for some day-1 companies where I did 100% in tests. Oracle was the only company that I got shortlisted for day-2. So, 1 shortlist and 1 chance of an interview will be sufficient if you did hard work."Have faith in getting a chance, drop your “bt” for sure."
List all your internships, projects, and achievements clearly in bold on your CV. Be ready to talk about them confidently and warmly. CV discussions are important to understand your past experiences, so make sure you can confidently explain and impress the interviewer with what you've done.

A) Hello everyone, my name is Rajarshi Mandal. I am a pre-final year undergraduate student of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech. course at IIT Kharagpur. I will be joining Oracle as a Software Engineering Intern this summer.
A) I got the offer from Oracle through the Career Development Centre, IIT Kharagpur. The selection process consists of an Online Assessment and three rounds of offline interviews (the last one being the HR Round).
a. Online Assessment
The round was conducted on July 21, 2023, via the HackerRank platform. Spanning 90 minutes, the test comprised 22 questions covering Problem Solving, General Aptitude, and Communication Skills. The questions were a good mixture of easy and medium levels in terms of difficulty.
b. Interview Round 1
For the interviews, Oracle came on 6th July i.e. Day 2 of CDC Internship Process 2023. For me, this round lasted for about 20–25 minutes. In this round, I was asked mostly DSA-based questions on Tree Datastructure and also 2 basic-level questions on OOPs. In all the interview rounds, the interviewers allowed only pen and paper to write all the codes.
c. Interview Round 2
After the lunch break, I was called in for my second round of interviews, which lasted approximately 30–35 minutes. During this round, the interviewer posed questions primarily focused on DSA with a medium to hard difficulty level. The first question involved concepts from Greedy algorithms and the Two Pointer technique, while the second question was a combination of Dynamic Programming (DP) and Binary Search. The interviewer then proceeded to add constraints to the problem, challenging my approach to the problem-solving process. Finally, he asked 1 or 2 medium-level questions on OOPs and 1 question on puzzle solving. Personally, I found this round to be quite challenging for me.
d. Interview Round 3
After feeling a little bit of hopelessness following the challenging second round, I quite unexpectedly received the call for the final round of interviews, which, as mentioned earlier, primarily focused on HR-related aspects. The interview was started with a CV grilling session. Following that he asked a puzzle-solving question just to test my approach to solving a new problem. In the end, I encountered typical HR inquiries such as explaining my interest in joining
Oracle, recounting my professional journey, and outlining my future aspirations. As I hadn’t specifically prepared for HR questions, I responded spontaneously based on my experiences and aspirations.
A) The most important skill required for roles like these is proficiency in Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), as it forms the largest part of both the online assessments and a significant portion of the interviews. It’s essential to have a thorough understanding of key algorithms, such as Dynamic Programming (DP), Binary Search, Graph algorithms, DSU, Segment Trees, mathematical concepts, sorting techniques etc. You are also required to be able to apply some of the most commonly used algorithms like DFS, BFS, Dijkstra, Kruskal Algorithm, Knapsack, KMP Algorithm etc.
To hone your skills, there are numerous free resources available. Practice problems on platforms like LeetCode, Codeforces, and GeeksforGeeks, selecting platforms that align with your preferences. InterviewBit can be reserved for the final 1–1.5 months of preparation, as it offers a curated set of questions relevant to assessments.
Regularly participating in contests on platforms like Codeforces and Codechef can enhance your problem-solving speed and adaptability to tackle new challenges. After each contest, try to revisit and solve the questions you couldn’t crack during the competition (upsolving). Also, you can participate in the contests held by Grimoire of Code as they consist of some quality questions.
Additionally, a solid understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs) concepts is crucial. Also having a basic level grasp of topics like Computer Architecture, Operating Systems, and Database Management can provide an edge, although they’re not typically expected from B.Tech candidates.0
Preparing for interviews involves thoroughly understanding your CV, as interviewers may inquire about any aspect. During the interview, exude confidence, ask for hints when needed, and articulate your thought process clearly, especially when coding. Engage in dialogue to explain solutions thoroughly. Mock interviews can further refine your skills and boost confidence.
Researching the company’s operations and objectives, preparing responses to HR questions, and understanding its background enhance readiness.
A) I have mostly started my preparation for the CDC during my three-month summer vacation. I believe that the ideal starting time for preparation may vary from person to person, but consistency and adherence to a schedule are key. Typically, about 15–20 days before the Day 1 of the process, companies will commence their online tests.
Therefore, it’s crucial to complete your preparation at least 5–6 days prior to this deadline to ensure you have ample time for revision and last-minute practice.
A) One of the main challenges I encountered was the lack of a clear roadmap to achieve my goals. With numerous topics to cover and limited time available, it was daunting, especially considering my non-CSE background, which required me to cover several topics all by myself.
To address these challenges, my peers and I formed small groups comprising 3–4 individuals. Within these groups, we discussed questions, clarified doubts, shared diverse perspectives, and engaged in casual conversations to maintain good mental health. This collaborative approach proved invaluable in tackling difficult topics more efficiently and effectively.
A) As far as I know, for B.Tech courses, Oracle has only allowed candidates from Circuital Departments and for Dual Degree I am not quite sure about the department criteria. For CGPA, they have not mentioned any specific cutoff.
For most of the software companies (including Oracle), PORs and EAAs do not really matter.
A) Anyone interested in a software profile can apply for this job. Regardless of specific inclinations towards particular roles, if coding is not a deterrent, you should give it a try. Problem-solving abilities are crucial for this role, regardless of coding inclination.
A) ● Do mention your best projects and internships clearly and avoid mentioning any very common project
● Do mention all your technical skills properly and the relevant courses that you have completed
● Do not forget to mention your achievements in exams like KVPY, NTSE, JEE and hackathons and conferences that you have participated
● Make sure you have proper knowledge about all the things that you are writing in the CV, because the interviewer may ask you anything from your CV
A) The entire CDC process demands unwavering motivation. Despite factors like CGPA, departmental preferences, and even luck occasionally working against you, it’s crucial not to dwell on these variables, as they are beyond your control. Instead, focus on maximizing your efforts and capabilities.
Make the most of the three-month preparation window by effectively managing your time and maintaining consistent effort. Seniors can offer valuable insights, both professionally and personally, as you navigate the intern season, which can often be overwhelming and challenging. Remember, dedicating yourself wholeheartedly to the process will ultimately yield rewards.

A) Hello to all aspiring interns, I am Sampreeth Sivakoti, a 3rd-year undergraduate student from the Department of Electrical Engineering enrolled in its B. Tech. Course. I am from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
I have been offered a role as a software intern in the technical team for Piramal Housing and Finance at its Bangalore office. I will be interning at the office during the summer of 2024. We mainly work on the financial data maintenance of the company.
2) How did you get into Piramal Capital & Housing Finance? What was the selection procedure?
A) The procedure for any company under the CDC remains almost the same. There is usually a coding round/technical round which usually shortlists a small number of candidates as compared to those who have applied. This company is open for all the departments and thus has a higher number of candidates than the companies which give a chance only to the circuital departments.
The first round was a coding round which consisted of MCQs and 2 coding questions of your preferred language. The style of the questions is similar to those of competitive coding type. MCQs do not consist of any core computer science concepts and mostly consist of identifying the bugs in the code and their execution. So if you have a strong coding background with a clear understanding of basics MCQs should be a no-brainer to you. As for the coding questions, attempting several contests on LeetCode and CodeChef does help but you should also focus on solving questions on LeetCode as attempting only contests can negatively affect your mental. Strong knowledge of Data Structures and Basic Algorithms should help you pass this coding round as a whole.
After making it through the coding round, you will receive a shortlist from the CDC with a date for the interview which is usually on Day 3 in KGP jargon. The interview is held in Nalanda Complex but the interview is done online through MS Teams. Wear formal attire even though it’s an online interview. The interview consisted of two rounds: A technical round and a HR round. The technical round happens in the first half of the day and the HR round happens in the second half. The technical round usually consists of the interviewer reviewing your CV and asking questions regarding the skills and the PORs you have mentioned. So I suggest you be honest and concise in your CV as they do not expect more than honesty and dedication in what you have mentioned in your CV. Also, the round consists of questions similar to the MCQs from the coding round usually asking you for the algorithms by hand and mentioning their time and space complexities. Try to be concise in your solution and also mention to the interviewer if you are not familiar with any technology or an algorithm. This round as a whole takes around 30 mins to 45 mins depending on how complex you made your CV.
Then comes the HR round which usually has no technical questions and involves the interviewer trying to understand your spirit to work in their company. Good communication skills and honesty in the answers should get you through this round pretty easily and takes around 20 minutes for this round of interviews. Being confident in your CV without unnecessary mentioning and beating around the bush should easily get you through the interview rounds.
A) First of all you should be well-versed in one of the standard programming languages of your choice (Java, CPP, Python, etc). The language of coding does not matter as all the companies try to test your logical and problem-solving skills. So you should have enough expertise to at least implement what you proposed in the code. The basics of coding can be easily grasped from any programming language book or a playlist on YouTube.
The most important part though would be understanding different data structures within the programming language of your choice. You should have a good idea of the STL functions as well as build a data structure from scratch if required. You should have a complete understanding of how each Data Structure works and the different time complexities for different operations on those data structures to provide the most optimal code for each problem with less complexity.
After learning all the Data Structures, I suggest you start solving basic questions on HackerRank and master both the Problem-Solving section and the language of your choice (usually 5 stars or something). Then start solving questions on LeetCode preferably Blind 75 problems if you are already able to solve the easier questions. I suggest you focus more on Easy to Medium problems on LeetCode and attend the weekly contest held on LeetCode first. Also, try to focus on the quality of the questions you are solving on LeetCode rather than just solving the questions randomly. This should be 90 percent of the effort that’s needed for any coding interview.
For the rest of the 10 percent, you can solve the contests on CodeChef and CodeForces and try to target a rating over 1500 which should be decent enough to crack the interviews.
A) I had prior experience in coding in multiple languages since my class 5 at school. I learned various languages like Python and Java right at the school level and had a certification from Coursera in Python. This gave me a headstart for the coding rounds and I had good knowledge of C and CPP even before the PDS course. So I had to hone my skills in Data Structures and Algorithms during the summer vacation before the CDC intern season started. I focused on attending the contests and solving the problems regularly which was enough for me to cut.
But for a total beginner, I suggest you start early and master a coding language right within your second year along with your course work. Then you can focus on the competitive coding side of the programming during your summer vacation which should be enough. Consistency is the key. Solving 2 to 3 questions on LeetCode per day should be enough to improve your skills when you have the coursework in parallel. Lack of a headstart should not be a problem if you can start earlier than your fellow batchmates.
A) The usual difficulty faced by anyone while preparing for any interview is that you really cannot make your cut right within your first attempt. But being consistent and not losing your mind on not cutting should get you through this very easily. I usually performed well in the coding round but could not get through those rounds even after my complete efforts. However, I consistently applied to every company in the SDE profile without losing confidence and was almost writing 3 coding rounds a day till midnight. So, it’s better to keep applying till you get a satisfactory shortlist and then focus on cracking the interview rather than focusing on just the shortlisting round. Also, I suggest you put your utmost efforts into the starting days of the CDC internship as the coursework can later become hectic and reduce your focus on cracking the internship. Also, the main difficulty would be high competition from the students of circuital branches who have prior knowledge of these concepts. But if you are confident in your skills and knowledge, it should get you through the round as a whole.
A) A short answer would be No but on a stretch it is a complicated answer. Most companies usually do not restrict based on CGPA and Department for SDE profile. However, having a high CGPA would give you an extra edge in case of a situation of tie-breaking for the shortlisting. A decent CGPA above 8.5 should be enough to cut. Similarly, departmental preference might be there but not as much affecting as the CGPA for tie-breaking.
Also, an SDE profile is usually a technical profile and does not require you to have many PORs or EAAs to secure the internship. However, having prior experience in the Web Team of the societies does help. Also doing some projects under a professor or a self-project does give you an edge to clear the interviews provided you can explain what you have done in the project without any hiccups.
A) Ideally, any student who has intermediate to advanced mastery in programming in any language can apply for this job. But a strong mentality is a very important thing as competition is high but on the bright side there are many opportunities in this profile as compared to any other which implies you can try again and again and again.
A) I suggest you be as honest as possible in your CV and not to over-deliver on any project which you have mentioned as it would be harder for you to explain yourself under the pressure of the interview. I suggest you mention a short and precise summary of your skills and the projects which you have done with them. Also, mention your ranking and contest rating on the contest platform that you used for preparing.

1)Brief introduction and description of offered role
Hello, I am Kalidindi Rohan, a 4th year undergraduate student from the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering enrolled in its Dual Degree course. As for my involvements on campus, I was a CDC Departmental Representative and a Student Placement Coordinator at the Career Development Centre. I am from Hyderabad, Telangana.
I received an internship offer from Procter and Gamble (P&G) in the product supply role for the summer of 2024 and I am currently interning with them at their Mandideep plant.
2) How did you get into Procter & Gamble ? What was the selection procedure?  P&G is one of the world’s largest consumer goods companies and is one of the major recruiters in the FMCG domain from IIT Kharagpur. Its selection procedure consists of 3 stages:
Psychometric test:
This assessment comprises situational questions designed to evaluate your personality traits and alignment with P&G's values, measuring if you are a potential fit to the company's work culture. Additionally, it includes mental ability challenges featuring various tasks like grid challenges, digit challenges, switch challenges, etc. These challenges consist of multiple difficulty levels, requiring you to achieve as many correct responses as possible within a limited time frame.
Group Discussion
Following the review of our CVs and psychometric test results, 12 students were selected to proceed to the group discussion round. This session lasted for approximately 40 minutes, during which we were prompted with situational questions. We were given the task to articulate our approach to these scenarios based on our past experiences.
Interview
Following the group discussion round, 3 students advanced to the final interview, conducted on Day 1. My interview lasted for approximately 20 minutes, during which I was asked questions regarding various projects I mentioned in my CV.
The psychometric test comprises mental ability questions, so there isn’t anything specific to prepare for them. However, going through some basic puzzles, practicing rapid math, and similar exercises would be beneficial. The second test focuses on situational and behavioral questions, emphasizing the importance of maintaining consistency while aligning responses with the company’s values. Reviewing P&G’s principles and values on their website would be beneficial. During the group discussion round, situational questions prompt candidates to draw from their past experiences, including positions of responsibility, projects and internships. Responding to these questions in a structured manner, aligning with P&G’s values would be helpful. In the interview phase, questions typically revolve around projects listed in your CV. This stage presents an excellent opportunity to express your enthusiasm for joining the firm and engage the interviewer by asking questions about the firm.
There isn't a specific preparation strategy for the FMCG profile. However, revising fundamental concepts of your core engineering discipline for a couple of weeks before the process starts can prove advantageous. Familiarity with supply chain management basics can be beneficial.
The selection process for FMCG roles varies across companies. For instance, P&G prioritizes cultural alignment and the candidate’s ability in situation assessment and decision-making. But the process is different in case of HUL, ITC. Personally engaging with seniors who have interned or secured positions in FMCG firms proved to be a valuable resource for me.
6) Are there any specific requirements such as department, CGPA, or other criteria for this position? Additionally, do certain PORs or EAAs enhance one's chances of securing this internship?
At P&G, the department of the candidate is not a determining factor, and individuals from various departments have successfully made it through the selection process. While a strong CGPA is advantageous, it's evident from the shortlist that it's not the sole criterion considered. P&G values candidates with well-rounded CVs, emphasizing not only academic excellence but also involvement in extracurricular activities and campus engagement. Additionally, possessing managerial experiences on campus is highly regarded, as the company seeks individuals capable of eventually managing production lines.
7) According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?The Product Supply position at P&G offers a wide-ranging scope, focusing on innovation-driven optimization efforts. The candidates would be given a deep understanding of industry intricacies to devise solutions for diverse challenges. It suits individuals who enjoy tackling large-scale problems.
Mentioning positions of responsibilities on campus and extracurricular activities would be helpful as students with good managerial experiences and diverse skills are preferred. Also mentioning projects related to supply chain and utilization of optimization techniques would give an upper hand.
I recommend gaining a clear understanding of your preferred profile and ensuring you have a backup option is a must. Given the lengthy and hectic process, maintaining composure and patience is crucial. Regularly seek guidance from seniors who have experienced similar situations and pursued similar career paths, as their advice can prove invaluable at every stage. Remember, securing an internship offer is just one milestone in your journey at KGP, so it's not worth excessively stressing over. Wishing you best of luck for the drive, I hope your efforts pay off!!

Hello everyone, I am Atishay Jain, a fourth-year UG student from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. I am thrilled to share that I've successfully secured the role of Systems Intern at Quadeye. Getting this opportunity is a dream for many, and Quadeye is known for its demanding selection process and high standards, making this achievement particularly significant for me. I'd like to share insights into the selection process, the role itself, and my preparation strategy to help others aiming for similar opportunities. The Systems Intern position at Quadeye involves collaboration with software and quantitative professionals. Interns are expected to engage in both technical and business projects, gather requirements, define project scopes, present plans, and propose future project optimizations. A significant part of the job is writing highly optimized, scalable code in line with best practices.
2) How did you get into Quadeye? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process at Quadeye is notably concise and selective. Only students from circuital departments such as Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, etc., with a CGPA of 9 or above, are eligible to apply. The company bypasses the traditional online assessment and opts for direct CV-based shortlisting, followed by personal interviews. This approach underscores the importance of maintaining a strong academic record and crafting an impressive CV. Additionally, the interview assesses your understanding of core concepts and your problem-solving approach. If you need insights into the exact questions asked, feel free to reach out to me via email at atishay@kgpian.iitkgp.ac.in.
Despite Quadeye being one of my dream and target companies, my preparation wasn’t specifically tailored for it. It revolved around general good practices such as masteringData Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and the principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Interestingly, I didn't engage much in Competitive Programming (CP) since it wasn't to my liking. Instead, I focused on solving problems on platforms like LeetCode and InterviewBit and revisited core concepts in Operating Systems, Networks, and OOPs.
The ideal time to start preparing for this role is whenever you feel ready to tackle it. Being from the Computer Science Department, my preparation began from the first year of my college only. I did courses on Algorithms, Operating Systems, Networks, Software Engineering, etc, which laid the foundation of my preparation. But, the serious preparation began only during the vacations before the internship season when I solved numerous DSA problems and refreshed my understanding of the core concepts. For those outside the CS department, consider taking similar courses as electives or self-studying using online resources.
The primary challenge I faced while preparing for this role was managing my time effectively, a common issue for many. Balancing the preparation with a research internship during the vacation period was particularly tough. Time management is crucial; there is no escape from this, and it's important to prioritize effectively to make room for what truly matters. Additionally, I struggled with a lack of interest in Competitive Programming (CP). Although it's often recommended by mentors and essential for many, it didn't suit my style. Despite attempting to participate in contests on platforms like CodeForces, I couldn't sustain my interest and opted instead to practice on other platforms. However, it's important to note that CP remains a vital component of preparing for tech roles, even if it wasn't the right fit for me.
For the System Engineering Intern role at Quadeye, there are specific eligibility criteria that I've previously outlined. Candidates must be students from the CS, EE, ECE, or MnC departments and have a CGPA of 9 or higher. Since the selection process does not include an online assessment, it is essential that your resume highlights significant projects, internships, and achievements to ensure shortlisting. In my view, positions of responsibility (PORs) and extra-academic activities (EAA) generally hold less weight in the application unless they are exceptionally prestigious.
As previously noted, this position demands a robust understanding of data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented programming, along with the capability to write highly optimized code. If you possess these skills and are interested in entering the high-frequency trading (HFT) sector, this role could be an excellent fit for you. In my opinion, anyone who meets the eligibility criteria should consider applying for this opportunity.
To improve your likelihood of landing this internship, ensure your resume stands out. Maintain a high CGPA and feature projects that demonstrate your capabilities across different domains. Highlight any academic achievements you’ve attained during your college career. Additionally, previous internship experiences can be a significant advantage, particularly for dual-degree students. What distinguished my application were my JEE Rank, my internship experience at the University of Alberta, and, of course, my projects.
For students targeting an internship this year, focusing on traditionally crucial areas such as Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), Competitive Programming, and Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs) is essential. These are foundational for preparing for a software engineering role at any company. For those aiming for a Systems role like mine, a solid grasp of computer science fundamentals is imperative. If you're interested in a Quant role, a deep understanding of probability and the ability to compute quickly is critical. Similarly, a ML role requires another skill set. Securing a Systems Internship at a prestigious firm like Quadeye requires dedication, strategic preparation, and a good understanding of your strengths and interests. Remember, it's essential to not just fit into a role but find one that fits you. Aim high, prepare well, and stay true to your interests. Preparation for such roles is a marathon, not a sprint. Take small, consistent steps in your preparation and maintain a balanced approach without overwhelming yourself. Keep pushing forward, and you'll find your efforts paying off. Good luck!

A) !! Chaaliye shuru karte hai !!
Diptendu Sarkar,
ME Btech, 3rd year
Radhakrishnan Hall
I was offered the role of a Business Trainee Intern at Edtech Startup-Raam Group. Unluckily it was a remote role and now I am sitting at home and doing remote work. It is an early-stage startup with high levels of responsibility and ownership of work. If someone wants to enjoy the journey of going from 0 to 1 in developing a product and working in small teams, it is an ideal role for them provided they are ready to grind for long hours. Currently, I am working with the Product team. Another interesting fact is that in 2 months, I will work with 2 different teams to get a taste of how an organization functions.
2) How did you get into the RAAM Group? What was the selection procedure?
A) Long story short after being rejected by many companies, I finally got an offer at RAAM Group for the role of Business Trainee. On the day of the RAAM Group interviews, I had 2 other interviews lined up; a Strategy role and a Full-stack Developer in Sperax.
Just to give you an idea about how random the CDC internship process is, listen to my story.
Being a biz-tech enthusiast, I was inclined towards consulting, product and business analyst roles. Besides these, I was into blockchain and decentralized finance and at that time was doing an internship with a UK-based Ethereum firm. Believe me or not I had the following interview shortlists:
Amazon SDE (with negligible CP practice and even after solving 1 question in the entire 1hr test, where my friends solved 2 in 15 minutes with no shortlists)
Axxella Trading
Puma Data Science
Sperax Strategy (interview hi nhi hua, because I had the Raam Group offer before the interview ended)
Sperax Full-stack Developer (cleared round 1, but I could not give round 2 because I had an offer)
Moral of the Story:
1. I had a shortlist of every other profile I did not prepare for!
2. Once you have an offer you won’t be allowed to sit for other interviews!
Raam Group was the first interview in my area, and I had an offer even before the interview finished.
Selection Process: (I will be detailed to the point here)
Step 1: CV shortlist (a well-rounded and polished CV, verified by seniors innumerable times. A lot of factors were checked like PoRs, involvement on campus, past experiences, academic track records, competitions, etc (I only got to know this during my 1 on 1 interaction with my manager)
Step 2: Online test based on Google form (HR essay type questions, why are you an ideal fit for Raam Group, what are your past work experiences and how would they be relevant to the work at Raam Group? Mind you the test duration was 15 minutes and the word limit for each answer was 500 words. Get ready to do some fast typing on your computers.
Ohh I remember that I got a copy of the response as well…. there were 2 questions
Q1. Explain clearly how your character, experiences and attributes would fit you into this role. (in less than 500 words)
Q2. What are your career aspirations & how can this experience help you? (in less than 350 words)
Step 3: 2 rounds of Interviews which were elimination-based
Interview R1: 45–50 mins
R1 was mostly related to case studies which involved market entry and product market fit. My internships ranged from Product Management, Business Analyst and Strategy at early to mid-stage startups. I had the interviews in the first week of September, but I was working on an AI-based education project for learning in the vernaculars. The interviewer seemed quite fascinated and had a good time knowing about it.
Interview R2: 55–60 mins
R2 was mostly a culture fit round and I was questioned on generic and random things. They mainly assessed problem-solving. Having experience in startups helped me a lot because of the dynamic and multi-dimensional work one does in a small team. This was an extended HR session where the questions ranged from my goals to what financial planning is.
A) As I mentioned earlier, I was aiming for consulting, product or business analyst roles, I did a lot of case interviews with seniors and batchmates. Apart from case interviews, guesstimates are very important as they depict how quick and logical your thinking is. I had quite a few CV grilling sessions by seniors as well. Apart from that there is no such specific preparation required. You
must know your CV inside out, have at least 2–3 minutes to speak for every line of your resume and you should have something interesting that you do not have on your resume. (During a round, I was asked to tell me something about myself that was not present on my CV).
A) I started preparation in mid-June specifically for these types of roles. Case books (IIM A, Darden, Fuquoa, CIC, Day One), Product Cases by PM School (it has 4 volumes), Understanding how tech works in some common products and basics of Data analytics and ML. Apart from these, I solved previous year’s CAT papers to speed up calculations (some tests had common questions), solved puzzles and Heard on the Street, 50 Challenging Problems and Brain stellar. Another thing I did in my summers was start with Prob Stats as I did not have them in my curriculum in my 2nd year.
A) I faced some difficulties, mainly because I was unsure about my profile. Very few companies on campus offer product and business analyst roles in the CDC internship drive. Once you are set on a profile, reach out to relevant seniors and talk with them. Refer to sample CVs on the SWG
portal (something that really helped me and even helps me today). Do keep in mind that seniors will also be busy with their internships and might miss out on your messages…. after all, corporate is too hectic and when someone has to come back from the office and do daily chores by themselves it becomes super tough. So have patience and follow them up in case they miss out. Also, it’s better to have a backup profile because you never know what will click out.
A) No department and CGPA criteria
Impact of Internships and Projects: 5
My past internships were mostly in small startups working closely with founders and cross-functional teams. My experiences in building products or contributing to the overall strategy for growth and expansion were relevant to the upcoming work at Raam Group. They mainly looked at how much responsibility I took during the past internships and what was my overall contribution. They paid attention to the process I undertook to solve certain problems I faced during my previous internships. They were looking for real-life problem solvers who were quick, responsible and hardworking.
Impact of PORs and EAAs: 4
The interviews revolved around teamwork, working in multi-dimensional teams, getting the work done, leading a team and experiences. There was a good discussion on my experience at E-Cell, collaboration with startups, VC firms and the start-up culture. I had also started a venture of my own which was a blockchain-based health-tech startup. The interviewer also spent a considerable amount of time on the venture.
Prepare your CV well. You should explain the things in your CV to a 10-year-old and someone with vast experience in that domain.
A) Someone who is passionate about startups and wants to enjoy the hustling life. The work is not properly defined and one needs to figure out things on his/her own. One must have enough patience to work for hours and take responsibility and ownership of things. The beauty of working in small teams is that you learn a lot and contribute impactfully.
A) Some major points to mention are:
Past internships (your work and way of solving the problem matter.)
Project (the idea and how well you have implemented the project matter) Competitions (the problem statement you have worked on and your approach to it matter) PoRs (how well you have led an organization and what impact have you brought in)
The interview just felt like a normal discussion. Just be yourself, know your CV inside out and be on the point of whatever you say. Take a couple of seconds to organize your thoughts and speak pointwise. Just be yourself.
A) Keep your cool, it is not a 100m sprint, but it’s a marathon…..You will face rejections but will learn throughout the process…..do reach out to me or seniors if you need help. Don’t be shy to approach seniors otherwise, you will miss out on a lot of things
Do’s and Don’ts:
Keep your cool during interviews. Managing CDC with academics becomes tough once you don’t have an offer in the initial 5–6 days. Always have a proper sleep before an interview. Do not take too much stress, just prepare well. Many things will not be in your hands, so it’s useless to think about those uncertain things.

A) I’m Himdyuti Sandilya, a third-year undergraduate student of Electrical Engineering, currently pursuing my B. Tech degree. I will be joining Salesforce, stepping into the role of Software Engineering intern.
A) The selection process for Salesforce was thorough and competitive. Here’s a detailed breakdown:
CV Submission
I submitted my CV, highlighting my academic background, relevant coursework, programming skills, and notable projects or internships.
Online Assessment
After the CV shortlisting, I received an invitation to take an online assessment consisting of four data structures and algorithms (DSA) questions. The questions were of medium to high difficulty, testing a range of problem-solving skills.
Interview Day (Day 2, August 6th) The interviews were held on Day 2, August 6th, and consisted of two rounds:
Round 1: Technical Round
Round 2: Hiring Manager Round
A) Here are the strategies that helped me prepare effectively:
A) My preparation for software engineering started during my first year of college, with an initial interest in programming and competitive coding. While the ideal preparation time may differ for everyone, I found that dedicating around six months to a year, with extra emphasis during the last three months of the semester break, should be enough.
A) The internship opportunity at Salesforce allowed students from these departments only: CS, ECE, EE (including IE), IM, and MA. No discussion took place on Positions of Responsibility (PORs) or Extra-Academic Activities (EAAs). These were irrelevant.
A) Students aiming for a Software Engineering career should consider applying for this internship opportunity.
A) For a well-rounded CV tailored to this profile, include relevant courses, impactful projects showcasing your technical skills, and active participation in competitive programming platforms such as Codechef and Codeforces. If you prefer not to provide ratings, ensure to mention these platforms, along with others like HackerRank, LeetCode, InterviewBit, GeeksforGeeks, etc., as keywords. These keywords play a vital role as they are often picked up by CV sorting algorithms used by recruiters. By including these platforms strategically, you enhance the visibility of your CV and increase your chances of getting noticed.
A) The process can be a little hectic and depressing at times. One needs a lot of self-belief and a little bit of luck to get through this. Make sure to practice mock interviews with friends. While solving questions, try to communicate your thought process with the interviewer as clearly as possible. This could be very beneficial; in case you go in the wrong direction, the interviewer often drops hints to get back on the correct path. Moreover, even if you can’t solve a question fully, interviewers judge you based on your communication and approach to the question.

Hello everyone, I am Abhirup Pal. I am a third-year undergraduate student in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering enrolled in its BTech course. I am a boarder of Rajendra Prasad Hall of Residence, I am from Kolkata. I will be joining Sprinklr as a Product Engineer Intern this summer.
2. How did you get into Sprinklr? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process consisted of an online coding test followed by 3 rounds of interviews: two technical and one HR round.
The online test consisted of 3 problems of medium-hard difficulty which were to be solved in 90 minutes. The problems were based on binary search, prefix sums, and dynamic programming.
Those who solved 3 problems completely or 2 completely and one partially were shortlisted for the interview rounds.
My first round of interviews was held at 7:30 am (we had to report to Nalanda at 4 am!). All the interview rounds were held online through MS Teams. The interviewers (there were two of them) started by asking me whether I was comfortable with ReactJS or DSA. I showed some inclination toward DSA, so they started by asking me a very simple implementation problem, and I almost instantly gave the solution. They continued with an ad-hoc problem, I came up with the solution after doing some casework and they were quite satisfied with it. Next, they presented a simple dynamic programming problem which I had solved before in one of the coding tests. Regardless, I first gave a brute force solution and then gave the optimal dp solution. Then, they followed up with another ad-hoc problem which I could not understand at first, and by the time I understood the problem and spent some time on it, they decided to move on to the next section of the interview. They asked me some JavaScript questions (difference between null And undefined, == and ===) and questions on usestate, useeffect hooks in ReactJS. They also asked me about one of my projects. They also asked me if I was familiar with the concepts of DBMS, I admitted that I was not. In the end, they asked me if I had any questions, to which I asked about the kind of work I would do if I were selected.
The second round of interviews was purely DSA-CP based. The interviewer started by asking a tree problem based on shortest paths. I had not seen that problem before, so I thought for 10–12 minutes and explained my thought process. In the end, I gave an incomplete solution that would pass some of the test cases, so he pointed it out. Finally, I gave the complete solution and he told me to code it in a Google doc. The coding portion was rather simple, I only had to write a bfs function and then call it twice in the main function. The interviewer was satisfied, so he moved on to another problem, to which I first gave a brute-force solution followed by a binary search solution. After this, the round was over.
The HR round lasted only for about 15 minutes. The interviewer was quite friendly, he asked me about my background, my strengths and weaknesses, and some typical situational tasks. He also asked me about the kind of work Sprinklr does and I answered what I had learned from the interviewers in the previous rounds (XD!).
I was quite satisfied with my performance in the interviews and was quite confident about my chances. About one and a half hours later, I received a call stating my selection (while I was having lunch with my friends!). :)
The same way one would prepare for any other software role: DSA-CP. There are a bunch of resources available on the internet for DSA. For practicing DSA at a beginner level, Leetcode is great. Once you are comfortable with basic topics you should participate in Codeforces or Codechef contests or at least upsolve contest problems, this would help you solve new problems during a test or an interview.
In the last month of preparation, you have to learn CS fundamentals: OOPs are sufficient for BTech, Dual Degree students need to know OS, and DBMS as well. You should be well prepared with your CV as well. Look up common questions and answers based on any skills or projects that you mentioned in your CV. You should also look up common HR questions with answers before the day of the interview, AI tools like ChatGPT can be really helpful in these.
4. When did you start preparing for this role and according to you what is the ideal time for aspirants, to begin their preparation?
I have been into Competitive Programming since my second semester. I did learn DSA, but I gave contests on Codeforces, and I could barely solve A and B of div2. I did CP more seriously from the second year onwards, learned more DSA, and practiced on Leetcode and Codeforces. By the end of the summer after the second year, I could solve 3–4 problems in div2 and 5–6 problems in div3.
However, my ratings were only around 1500 on both of my CF accounts. There is no such ideal time to start preparing, start as early as you can.
The major difficulty I faced was that my rating on codeforces was pretty stagnant. While practicing I could solve 1700–1800 rated problems, but could not do so in contests. So, I started solving every contest I participated in, identified my weak topics, and started strengthening them by solving simpler problems on Leetcode and Codeforces. On code forces, a simple rule of thumb is, if your rating is ‘x’, you should practice problems in the rating range ‘x’ to ‘x+300’.
Also, having a good peer group whom you can discuss problems with always helps.
There were no such criteria as CG, POR, or EAAs, however, Sprinklr only allowed BTech students to apply, and BS students were not allowed this year. Anyways, having a decent CG always helps for software-based roles as some companies put CG criteria (&gt;=8 or &gt;=7.5) to apply for them.
Anyone who is interested in software development and Competitive Programming should apply.
Any other skills like ML or Web dev are always helpful.
You should know the skills and projects you would mention in your CV well. Apart from this, a CV is not that important, PORs and EAAs do not matter. However, it is always a good idea to get your CV reviewed by your seniors and batchies.
My only advice would be to keep improving yourself every day, learn and practice as much as possible, do not worry about the result. Do not let the CDC judge your level of preparation, there are a lot of other factors involved like luck, department, etc. which you cannot control. Keep going, enjoy the process, and stay motivated!

Hello everyone, I am Arjit Lohia, a 4th-year undergraduate student of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering enrolled in its dual degree course. This summer I will be interning at Sprinklr as a Product Engineer.
A) The selection process consisted of one online coding round and 3 rounds of interviews. In the coding round, we were given 90 minutes to solve 3 questions. The questions were based on binary search, dynamic programming optimization, and basic implementation. The questions were a mix of easy, medium, and difficult problems.
In the first technical round, the interviewer started by asking a classical DP question ( Count the no.of the subset with a given sum in an array ). I was asked to write the code on Google Docs and not on any code editor. As I had done a project on ML and the interviewer was also from an ML background, so he asked me some basic questions related to ML and related to my project and also asked me to code it. This interview lasted for about 40 min.
In the second technical interview, the interviewer asked me to give a 5-minute introduction about myself. After that, I was asked to code a telephone directory that had the functionality of adding, deleting, and searching for a number in that. I wrote a brute force code for the following, then he asked me to optimize this using trie. For that, I just explained the approach to him. He then asked me a probability question. This interview lasted for 30 min.
The third round was an HR round to assess my culture fit for the company which lasted for 20 min. It included some standard HR questions and situations. The interviewer was quite friendly and fun to talk to.
A) You should prepare DSA thoroughly as it is required in both coding rounds and interviews. Give as many contests on Codeforces and codechef as possible as it will help in solving questions faster in coding rounds. Maintaining consistency is crucial. For interviews, prepare notes for your CV explaining each project and internship. Try to explain the logic to the interviewer while coding the solution.
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Company/Profile? How did you overcome them?
A) DP was a difficult topic in the starting. Vivek Gupta’s DP workshop on YouTube is a good playlist to learn this topic.
There was no such cutoff of CGPA or department for this role. It was open to all the departments. I don’t think PORs contributed that much to get this internship.
A) Anyone who is interested in development and wants to explore software profiles should apply for the Sprinklr intern.
7) Kindly attach your CV/Resume. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
A) Be honest about what you write in your CV and you should be able to explain everything in it. Having a prior intern in your CV will give you an advantage.
A) ● Don’t take too much pressure during the CDC process and be yourself.
● Get your CV reviewed by seniors and friends. Give mock interviews to boost your confidence.
● DON’T GIVE UP cause you might not get shortlisted in many companies. Just trust in your effort and hard work cause many good companies will come at a later stage.

A) Hey Junta!! I am Debaditya Das, a third-year undergraduate student in the department of Computer Science and Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech Course. I am from Kolkata, West Bengal. I have my upcoming summer internship at Sprinklr as a Product development intern.
2) How did you get into Sprinklr? What was the selection procedure? The selection procedure was similar to most of the other software companies.
A) Initially, there was an Online Coding Round of 90 minutes — which had 3 coding questions based on standard DSA topics like Binary Search, DP, trees, and graphs.
Then a day before the Day 1 interviews started, the interview shortlists for all the companies were out on the ERP and fortunately, I received the shortlist for 3 companies(Sprinklr, Nutanix & Salesforce). For Sprinklr, there were 3 rounds of interviews — 2 technical rounds, both of which lasted for about 1 hour followed by an HR round.
The first round of technical interviews was solely based on Data Structures and Algorithms(DSA). The first question was regarding the difference between map and unordered_map and how they are implemented in the STL library. Then the interviewer moved on to a tricky question based on how hash functions are implemented(would suggest going through the concept of Rolling Hash, which I didn’t know then). Following this, there was a standard question on the 2-sum problem; which was then extended to the 5-sum DP problem. The interviewer asked me to code this on Google Docs and asked questions regarding the time and space complexities.
The 2nd round started with questions based on the projects that I had given in my CV. Then there were also 1 or 2 questions from core concepts of OOPs like inheritance and polymorphism. Following this, they asked me about the L1, L2 cache, and LRU cache and how they are implemented. I did not know much about cache memory then, but I had gone through the standard interview questions in GFG and there was this question on LRU cache; so the interviewer then asked me to code and explain this in any text editor. Lastly, there was an advanced DSA question involving DP with trees.
The third round was a Culture & Talent round which lasted around 20 minutes and included standard HR questions, such as enquiring about why I want to join Sprinklr and there were questions from my PORs and work experiences. I had also gone through the website of Sprinklr to learn about Sprinklr’s core values, mission, and beliefs once the shortlists were out the day before. Soon after this round ended, I received a call from the CDC Representative confirming my selection!!
A) The most important thing for SDE Roles in such companies is DSA. You need to be well prepared with all the standard DSA topics and be able to solve questions involving them. For practice, I would highly recommend LeetCode because questions on LC are properly DSA-based (unlike ad hoc problems which involve more maths). I used to practice 5–6 questions from here every day (difficulty — medium & hard). For contests, Codeforces is a well-known platform. In my opinion, I would say that Cf rating is not that important since quite often questions on CF are more ad-hoc not involving DSA unlike the ones asked in CDC (it’s fine even if you are a specialist) but being able to solve questions in a time bound manner is most important. I also used to practice questions from CF using filters on specific topics like Binary Search, DP, Trees, and Graphs(Problem ratings varied from 1300–1700). Also, the GOC Test Series is quite relevant and you can give those contests.
A) As a computer science student, we had an Algo-1 course in our 3rd semester. The basics of many DSA topics were covered in that course itself. Then I started going through the theory of other topics from GFG and Yt. I started giving contests and practicing questions regularly only after the summer break started. I would say that those 3 months of summer break after 4th semester are the most important and one should utilise that properly.
5) What difficulties did you face while preparing to be a Product Engineer at Sprinklr? How did you overcome them?
A) The only difficulty is that we need to cover a lot of things in a very very short time — I had to prepare my projects, complete DSA, and give contests all in those 3 months. So you need to manage your time efficiently, prioritize important things, and make daily targets; like I used to practice at least 1 question from each topic every day either from Cf or LeetCode. Also after giving contests, you need to analyze why you were unable to solve a certain question and try solving them later,
A) For Sprinklr, there was no such CGPA cutoff; but honestly speaking companies do look into the CG and will always prefer the one with the higher CG if you have equivalent skills. So yeah try to keep your CG at least greater than 8. Regarding the Department, most of the companies are open to all departments except the few HFTs which only prefer the circuital dept. PORs are not that important in SDE roles; it’s always a plus point if you are having it.
A) Anybody interested in problem-solving should always apply for this job. If you are interested in coding, I would suggest you get accustomed to Competitive Programming and DSA, which is the sole requirement for most of the companies in the SDE Role.
A) Regarding CV, projects are not that important; Interviewers usually don’t spend much time on your CV. They usually ask you to describe any one of the projects. The only advice is to be honest about what you are writing in your CV and you should be able to explain every word in your CV that you are mentioning. And do get your CV reviewed by seniors before final submission.
A) The most important advice during CDC is not to lose your focus and motivation. Don’t get discouraged if an interview doesn’t go your way. There are many companies and maybe you would even land up in a better company later on; So have that self-belief in yourself and just continue to give your best. Always feel free to reach out to your friends and seniors at any time. Stay in touch with your family. All the best!!

1) Brief introduction
A) Hello. My name is Vedant Tarole. I just completed my 4th year in the Industrial and Systems Engineering department’s dual degree course. I am a boarder of Radhakrishnan Hall of Residence. Kudos to SWG for highlighting the diverse experiences of individuals from different profiles, and enriching our beloved KGP community.
2) Description of offered role
A) I have been offered the role of Product Engineering Intern at Sprinklr, which is similar to SDE. At Sprinklr, Product Engineers are responsible for the design and creation of its SaaS-based products.
3) How did you get into Sprinklr? What was the selection procedure?
A) The role of Product Engineering Intern at Sprinklr is open to all B.tech and Dual Degree students and there is no cutoff for CGPA. The selection procedure consists of broadly two stages: a coding round and some interview rounds. There were two technical interview rounds and one HR round scheduled for the shortlisted students.
Overall, the Sprinkler internship selection process was challenging but also very engaging. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss my skills and experiences with the interviewers.
4) How to prepare for them?
A) In my opinion, to effectively prepare for internship interviews, break it down into three parts: Projects/Internships, Data Structures & Algorithms, and CS Core Concepts. Start by creating a timeline to prioritize tasks based on available time.
Your initial focus should be on covering a wide range of DSA topics. Start giving contests on Codeforces and LeetCode, making sure to solve after each contest. Aim to solve problems from diverse topics to solidify your understanding. Familiarise yourself well with classic problems related to greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, and graphs. While competitive programming can be helpful, don’t jump into it before you’re comfortable with common DSA problems. Leverage the learning sections on sites like Codeforces and CodeChef to strengthen your foundation.
Two months before your interviews, shift your primary focus to DSA. Target solving Leetcode/InterviewBit problems within the medium to hard range, filtering by specific topics to strengthen your skills. A month before interviews, dedicate time to OOP, OS, Networks, basic ML/DL, probability, statistics, and puzzles. Remember, for internships, especially from a non-CSE background, deep expertise in these areas isn’t expected.
Develop 3–4 diverse projects beforehand to demonstrate your skills. These projects should showcase your grasp of fundamental concepts. Aim for variety; for example, one project could be web development-focused, while another could be a C++ application highlighting a specific algorithm. Dual-degree students can leverage summer research internships in their 2nd and 3rd years to gain valuable experience and bolster their resumes.
5) When did you start preparing for this role and according to you what is the ideal time for aspirants to begin their preparation?
A) I began preparing for internships in my second year. As a dual degree student, I had the chance to explore competitive programming early on. I learned by watching some YouTube tutorials and participating in contests on CodeChef and Codeforces. This gave me a strong base in problem-solving.
However, before my fourth year, I realized I needed to focus on the specific skills needed for internships. I spent the summer practicing typical interview questions on LeetCode, especially on topics like greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, and graphs. I also built projects related to coding and machine learning to showcase my skills.
Research internships, which I started in my third year, were also really helpful. They gave me practical experience and made my resume stronger.
Even though I started early with coding competitions, I think 3–4 months of focused practice on data structures and algorithms, plus 1 month on core computer science concepts, is enough to get a good internship. The key is to be consistent and use your time wisely.
Already the details were all discussed in question 3.
A) If you love solving puzzles and figuring out how things work, enjoy coding want to learn everything about it, and are excited about building new software, you can consider seriously applying for such a role and start with your preparation. Sprinklr has four different roles to choose from: Front-end, Back-end, Machine Learning, and Data Science. When you apply, make sure to tell them which role you’re most interested in.
A) cvGenerate (1).pdf. You can see the points in CV. Every skill you’ve learnt can be mentioned and your POR’s if there’s any.
A) The journey will be challenging, fun, and sometimes stressful and hectic. It is optimal to target one or two profiles and keep your preparation strong for those. Start preparing a bit early on. Create some good projects that are worth looking at.
It’s normal to feel down or discouraged sometimes, but don’t give up. Keep trying! I had a CGPA below 8 and often doubted myself, even though I was good at problem-solving and coding. The CGPA requirement made me question if I was good enough. But I learned that it’s important to focus on what you can control. Work hard, practice, and never stop believing in yourself. Remember, the more prepared you are, the luckier you’ll get. So keep learning and give it your all!
It’s natural to feel nervous before an interview. Just relax, focus, and answer questions as you’ve practiced. If something isn’t clear, don’t hesitate to ask the interviewer. If you’re unsure about the best solution, start with a simpler approach. If you have multiple ideas, ask the interviewer which they prefer. Most importantly, be confident, explain your thought process thoroughly, and don’t be afraid to discuss why some paths wouldn’t work.
Interviews can be tiring. Believe in yourself and try your best. Finally, remember that even if you don’t get in, it’s just an 8-week period (internship). It won’t impact your career heavily.

Hey Everyone. My name is Prachi Priya, and I am a final year undergraduate student of the Department of Geology & Geophysics, enrolled in its integrated MSc course in Applied Geology. I am a boarder of Mother Teresa Hall of Residence. Currently, I am working as a Data Science & Analytics Intern at TATA AIG, a prominent General Insurance Company.
2. How did you get into TATA AIG? What was the selection procedure?
A well-rounded CV and prior experience in the Data Science domain through projects and internships is a must-have. Your CV should include projects based on Machine Learning, Computer Vision, NLP, etc.
Their selection procedure consists of two steps: CV Shortlisting and Personal Interview (PI) Round(s). Although a Group Discussion (GD) round was also mentioned in ERP, but it did not take place on the final day. Now, let me brief you through the whole criteria.
● CV Shortlisting: TATA AIG shortlists around 7 to 8 students for the Data Science role. There was no CGPA cutoff, and the role was open to all departments. They look for a well-rounded CV and prior experience in ML. Projects related to healthcare, customer behavior, risk assessment, or those with environmental impact stand out during the shortlisting process.
● Interview Round: There was only one round of interviews for the Data Science profile, which involved mostly CV grilling and HR questions. I was asked about my research projects (specifically those at ISB & IIML) and some ML-related questions. The interviewer also gave me a short case study problem statement (ML-based) to explain my understanding and propose a feasible solution. HR questions focused on my interest in the company, its core values, and how I developed an interest in AI & ML despite pursuing a different stream.
One must have a basic knowledge of Machine Learning & Deep Learning (the algorithms, models, and their architecture, etc.). Andrew NG’s Machine Learning & Deep Learning Specialization courses are great resources. It covers all the important topics that are required at the initial level. If you find them monotonous, the CampusX playlist of ML and DL is also helpful. Make sure to create short notes while you are going through the lectures, this will help during your revision in a limited period. You can also practice with Analytics Vidhya blogs for additional exercises.
I also practiced Brainstellar puzzles, Guesstimates from Casebooks, and Probability & Statistics questions from “50 Challenging Problems.” Although they were not asked in my interview, they are commonly asked in many others.
Seek guidance from seniors, be confident, and know every detail in your CV. Practice speaking about your projects and experiences clearly and concisely. Mock interviews with peers can be extremely beneficial. This will help you get comfortable with the interview format and improve your ability to think on your feet. Remember, confidence comes from preparation, so the more you practice, the more confident you will become.
Create a separate document where you list out key terminologies, concepts, and formulas that are mentioned in your CV. This will serve as a quick revision tool, allowing you to brush up on these topics quickly. Highlight areas or any specific technologies you’ve worked with. Since the time between shortlisting and the interview can be limited, this reference document will be invaluable for quick and effective revision.
Although I had prior research projects in this domain, I started my full-fledged preparation during the summer break. Ideally, you should begin during your second year to learn concepts and gain experience through projects and internships. If starting now, divide your time wisely and create a schedule to cover all topics. Aim to finish by mid-July before your pre-screening tests begin.
Balancing the ML & DL syllabus along with Probability & Statistics, puzzles, and Competitive Programming was challenging. Each of these requires significant time and effort, and none can be ignored as they are all crucial for tests and interviews. You have to manage your time very wisely during the summer break. I broke down my study plan into weekly goals, making it easier to track progress and stay motivated. I consulted my seniors and friends who were previously part of this process and learned from their experiences. Mock interview rounds with friends helped boost my confidence for the final interview.
There are no specific requirements for this position, but a CGPA above 8 is usually recommended. PORs and EAAs are not very important but can help balance your CV and demonstrate teamwork and communication skills.
Anyone interested in pursuing a career in AI/ML and related Data Science roles should apply. The work primarily involves automating various business processes using applied sciences such as Computer Vision, NLP, and LLMs. If you are passionate about developing impactful and innovative solutions, this role is for you.
As mentioned before, a good amount of prior experience in machine learning / deep learning / AI development, etc, is recommended. Brownie points if you have worked on any standard projects related to the Insurance industry or the “TATA” group! This will help give you a little edge over the others. Clearly state your technical skills, but avoid including anything unnecessary or something that you are not confident about, as you may be questioned on literally anything from your CV during the interview.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to seniors who have previously gone through the same process. They can provide valuable insights and tips that are specific to the role and company. Their experiences can help you understand what to expect, how to prepare, and the common pitfalls to avoid.
Remember, landing a CDC internship is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s important to be patient and consistent in your efforts. Do not get discouraged if you don’t see immediate results. Keep working hard, and a little bit of luck might just come your way! Always be in touch with your friends and seniors. They will be your support system throughout this process.

Hi, I am Kshitij Banerjee, a 3rd year undergraduate student of IIT KGP in the department of Electrical Engineering. I got an offer from Texas Instruments for an internship in the summer of 2024 from the on-campus CDC internship drive.
2. How did you get into Texas Instruments? What was the selection procedure?
The selection process consisted of three stages: CV submission, an online test, and an online interview. The online test comprised four sections: Embedded software, Analog, Digital, Signal Processing, and an aptitude section. Candidates could select two profiles; I opted for Embedded and Digital. The Embedded section included fundamental C questions, while the Digital section covered topics like flip-flops and adders.
During the one hour interview with a company manager, I faced detailed inquiries about my projects, including one involving Arduino. It is important therefore to have a sound knowledge about your projects which you have mentioned as the interviewer might delve deeper into them. Additionally, there were basic queries about C programming.
As electrical students cover embedded systems in the 6th semester, there weren’t specific questions on this topic. However, possessing fundamental knowledge of microcontrollers, assembly language, etc., can be advantageous. For digital and analog profiles, the courses from the 3rd and 4th semesters suffice.
I didn’t specifically gear my preparation towards this role. I had two CVs ready, one tailored for software and the other for core profiles. Proficiency in your second-year courses will suffice for this role, and you can refresh your knowledge during the summer break.
Difficulty in finding suitable practice questions can be a challenge. One can refer to Gautam Saha’s slides for digital topics and Himanshu Agarwal’s YouTube channel for analog questions. While familiarity with Verilog can be beneficial, it’s not mandatory.
Preference is given to candidates from circuital branches as their coursework directly correlates with the job profiles. While there isn’t a strict CGPA requirement, a CGPA above 7.5 is considered satisfactory. Participation in PORs/EAAs may not heavily influence selection, but experience in relevant extracurricular activities such as robotics clubs could potentially enhance candidacy.
The ideal candidate for this job would be someone with a genuine interest in the core aspects of the profile. Specifically, individuals with a strong foundation and extensive knowledge in areas such as semiconductors, microprocessors, and computer architecture are well-suited to apply.
One major point to highlight in your CV is any relevant projects you&#39;ve undertaken within domains related to the CDC internship. These projects serve as tangible evidence of your practical skills and understanding in these areas, making them highly beneficial additions to your resume.
When elaborating on such projects, consider including details such as the problem statement, your approach or methodology, key challenges faced, and most importantly, the outcomes or results achieved.
It’s easy to assume that the selection process is solely merit-based, where the most skilled candidates rise to the top. While skills are crucial, there’s a layer of unpredictability that often surprises many applicants. You might witness someone less experienced landing an internship on day one while the brightest minds wait in anticipation for weeks or even longer.
This might feel discouraging, but here’s the thing: the CDC selection process isn’t always a perfect reflection of your abilities. Factors like timing, the specific needs of the teams, and yes, luck, can heavily influence who gets shortlisted and when.
So, my advice to you all is this: don’t lose hope. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Keep putting your best foot forward, stay persistent, and trust in your abilities. Sometimes, the process might seem partial or arbitrary, but remember, it’s just that — a process. Your time will come, and when it does, all the waiting and uncertainty will feel worth it.

Hello, I hope you all are doing well! I am Sanidhya Raj, a soon-to-be fourth-year undergraduate student from the Department of Mathematics. I am from Patna, Bihar, and currently reside at MMM Hall of Residence. Last year, I received an offer from Texas Instruments for an embedded software engineering role.
The process began with the submission of my CV. The initial filter was an online test consisting of MCQ questions on aptitude, C/C++ fundamentals, OOPs, operating systems, and a few on electronics/hardware.
Next was the interview round, which at Texas Instruments is straightforward as it consists of only one round, unlike other companies. In the first half of the interview, I was thoroughly questioned about my CV, focusing mainly on the projects I had listed. Since the interview was conducted online, I was asked to share my screen and code in C or C++. Basic questions from data structures and algorithms were asked, covering linked lists, bitwise operators, and sorting (2-Easy and 1-Medium level). Toward the end, they asked general HR questions I had prepared in advance.
During the summer break, I interned and rigorously practiced DSA problems on leetcode. For theory, I referred to Algozenith and Striver. Additionally, I spent a day or two revising probability and statistics and solved some puzzles from GFG, as these are commonly asked in interviews, though not at Texas Instruments. I appeared for 6 interviews (3-Day 1 & 3-Day 2), and questions of varying difficulty from probability & statistics and puzzles were frequently asked. Spend more time practicing problems on graph algorithms and dynamic programming since they are more often asked. Consistency is the key. Just keep on grinding, and eventually, you’ll make it.
I began my preparation in May 2023, when my summer vacation started. However, I recommend starting earlier to ease the pressure towards the end. Regardless of when you begin, stay calm and devise your strategy, then work consistently according to it. The last two months are crucial, so use that time wisely.
Keeping a consistent schedule was no easy feat, especially when fatigue set in. Balancing an internship alongside my DSA preparation added another layer of difficulty. However, I chose not to panic and focused on doing as much as possible. Having a group of friends to discuss coding problems with was incredibly helpful; it kept me consistent and motivated.
Texas Instruments offers several roles, but only the embedded software engineering position is open for MA, IM, and CS. The other roles are limited to ECE/EE students. There is no specific CGPA cutoff, however, a higher CGPA is given priority. There is not much focus on the PORs.
Someone with a passion for software development and an interest in electronics and hardware should ideally aim for this role.
TI places significant emphasis on projects, making it essential to include strong technical projects on your CV. Half of the interview revolves around discussing these projects, so be thoroughly prepared for detailed questions on each one. A high CGPA or a strong awards and achievements section would be a cherry on the cake.
Make sure you’re well-prepared for a thorough CV grilling. Revise linked lists, DP, graphs, and probability & statistics well since they are quite frequently asked. There may be moments when you feel like giving up, but keep hustling. Remember hard work always pays!

A) Hello, I am Sourabh Soumyakanta Das, a fourth-year undergraduate from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, enrolled in its dual degree course. I will join Uber in the summer of 2024 as a Software Engineering Intern.
2) How did you get into Uber? What was the selection procedure?
A) The selection procedure started with a DSA-based test on CodeSignal for 60 minutes consisting of 3 questions of medium-hard difficulty. Solving all 3 guarantees your selection for the interview rounds.
The first interview round was DSA-based with a duration of 45 minutes. Typically, a single question is asked, although more questions can be asked based on how fast you solve them, however solving the first question is sufficient for qualification for the second round. In my case, the questions were based on the proper usage of basic data structures and specific observations.
The second interview round focused on implementation skills, where you are provided with basic functionality that needs to be implemented properly in a modular fashion, along with well-defined unit tests. Having a basic exposure to OOPs helps a great deal.
The final interview round was a short HR round, where I was asked standard HR questions involving personality evaluation and culture fit. Following this round, I received an internship offer from the company.
A) To enhance my DSA skills, I practiced problems from CSES, LeetCode, and AtCoder, and gave contests on Codeforces and CodeChef. GOC contests, held regularly, also helped a lot. For studying advanced DSA involving graph algorithms, SegTrees and similar data structures, number theory, etc., I referred to cp-algorithms and Codeforces blogs which are very informative. This can be very helpful in tackling hard problems which can be decisive in selection for further rounds. I also did a basic brush-up of fundamental concepts in Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs), Networks, and Operating Systems (OS) as a part of my general preparation for the CDC internships.
A) I had a decent background in DSA as I had covered the Algorithms course in my second year, which was mostly in C. Following summer, I had practiced enough to become familiar with C++ STL and their applications. In my third year, I focused on core fundamentals, and couldn’t devote much time to coding. I revised and practiced some advanced DSA, the summer before the internship process.
I would strongly advise starting preparation as soon as possible, to prevent unnecessary stress and last-minute rush. Also, go through basic CS fundamentals in the final few weeks to have a good grasp and understanding just before the tests and interviews.
A) I always communicate briefly and concisely. So, I was a bit nervous during the interviews. To overcome this, I always kept in mind to first frame the points that I should speak on and then explain my solutions or ideas in a detailed manner based on those. In interviews, staying silent for long periods is not advised and hence any idea that comes to mind must be communicated to the interviewer. Being verbose gives a good impression of your thought process. Time management during preparation is also very crucial for success.
A) No, there aren’t any specific requirements or criteria for this position. However, a high CGPA is always beneficial and will give you an edge over others who have a similar performance during these assessments. PORs and EAAs help improve your candidate profile, but they are not very relevant for SDE internships.
A) Any student who has good implementation skills, a knack for problem-solving, and a good grasp of DSA should consider applying for this job.
A) In a CV, mentioning various projects done is always better as it showcases your familiarity with development and coding skills. Alongside this, mentioning achievements and past internships (if any) is always a plus. However, CV plays a very minor role in the selection process.
A) The CDC process can be very stressful, considering it can be luck-based as well. So, one should not let it be a measure of one’s skills and abilities. Bad performance in a test should be taken as feedback for forthcoming tests and should not let it demotivate you.
Stay calm and confident, and never hesitate to ask for help from peers and seniors if required. Consider this as a great learning opportunity for your future.
All the best everyone!!

A) Hello everyone, I am Priyank Mundra, a pre-final year student in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering, enrolled in the dual degree program. This summer, I am interning at BNY Mellon as a software developer. While each intern has a unique focus, my role is specifically that of a Full Stack Developer.
2) How did you get into BNY Mellon? What was the selection procedure?
A) The selection process consisted of an online coding test followed by three rounds of interviews: two technical and one HR round. The online test featured three medium-hard problems to be solved in 90 minutes, focusing on topics such as Graph Theory, Dynamic Programming, and Binary Search.During the first interview round, I was asked real-life questions related to Graph Theory, not strictly DSA algorithm questions. However, some of my friends were given DSA questions, including one who was asked about Dynamic Programming. In the second round, the focus was mainly on my CV. I was asked to provide an overview of it, and most questions were related to my competition experiences. The HR round lasted about 15 minutes and was quite friendly. The interviewer asked about my background, strengths and weaknesses, and some typical situational tasks. Overall, all the interviewers were very friendly and approachable.
A) You should thoroughly prepare for DSA, as it is essential for both coding rounds and interviews. Participate in as many contests on Codeforces and CodeChef as possible, as this will help you solve questions more quickly during coding rounds. Consistency is key. For interviews, prepare detailed notes on your CV, explaining each project and internship. When coding a solution, explain the logic to the interviewer. Be well-versed in everything listed on your CV and remain honest during the interview; don’t attempt to mislead them.
A) For me, covering DSA was challenging since I only started during the summer holidays. Dynamic Programming and Graph Theory were particularly difficult, but I tackled at least 10 to 15 questions and participated in contests regularly. My rating isn’t stellar, but my consistency allowed me to grasp the concepts and apply them during coding rounds. So, don’t give up thinking you can’t master all of DSA. Just give it your best effort — it’s better than regretting not trying at all.I also revised my ML and DL concepts because my main projects are in those areas. Companies look for the willingness to learn and adapt. If you have that drive, the specific field you come from doesn’t matter as much.
A) There was no such cutoff of CGPA or department for this role. It was open to all the departments. I don’t think PORs contributed that much to get this internship.
According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?Primarily, I would say that for those interested in learning Java and web development, this company is a great fit. It mainly focuses on Java, so having a good grasp of Java will be a significant advantage.
6) Lastly, what advice would you like to give to the students aiming to grab CDC internships this year?
A) My only advice would be to focus on continuous improvement every day. Learn and practice as much as possible without worrying about the results. Don’t let the CDC solely judge your level of preparation, as many factors like luck and department are beyond your control. Keep going, enjoy the process, and stay motivated!
Get your CV reviewed by seniors and friends, and participate in mock interviews to boost your confidence. Having supportive friends is also very helpful — they were always there for me, and their support made a big difference.
7) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in CV while targeting this profile?
A) CV is provided below you can check it out for a better idea.

A) Hi, I am Kinjal Sensharma, a fourth-year undergraduate from the Department of Chemical Engineering with a specialization in Financial Engineering. I will be joining TrexQuant this summer as a Quantitative Research Intern.
2) How did you get into TrexQuant? What was the selection procedure?
A) I applied in TrexQuant for the Quantitative Research Intern position through the CDC Internship process hosted by CDC, IIT Kharagpur. The company was open for all departments and had a CGPA cut-off of 8.00 for the first round and in total there were two rounds.
The first round was “The hangman challenge” which primarily was a task round where you had to come up with a novel algorithm that could solve the hangman game with an accuracy of >50% and you had a week to come up with a solution. A working code and a report explaining the algorithm had to be submitted based on which an interview shortlist was rolled out.
The interview process started with a discussion of the current algorithm and alternate solutions for the same problem statement. I was told to make pseudo codes for the alternate solution and provide reasonable explanations for the working of the same.
After that, there were coding questions that were of leetcode medium-level difficulty. There was a constraint on the language in which the coding questions had to be solved-Python. Then there were questions on probability and statistics and a discussion of ML solutions related to stock/derivative pricing and trading. Again, I was told to frame pseudo codes for the working of the same,
Finally, three offers were rolled out for the Quantitative Research Position.
A) To be comfortable with ML theory, the very first step should be to be very clear with ML/DL concepts. You can check out the Coursera courses by Andrew NG(ML Specialization and DL Specialization). There are courses at Stanford as well(CS-22X/23X series) that are very mathematical and would help you a lot to grasp concepts.
Next, for the coding aspect, I practiced a sufficient number of questions from Leetcode. Throughout the series of internship tests you’d be sitting in, you would find a direct repetition of some classic problems from Leetcode. I had spent the summers practicing a lot of Leetcode questions making sure I had ample practice in all levels of difficulties and concepts. The language I followed was Python since I had been working on ML Internships from my second year and had been using it.
Next, you should have a grasp of probability and statistics. My preparation involved me firstly revising and going through the notes from Probability and Statistics offered by IIT Kharagpur, a bit of revision of some questions from my JEE notes, and then proceeding to solve “50 challenging problems in probability”. This company didn’t have any puzzle-type questions in the interview but in case you want to prepare for them, you can do it from brainstellar.com.
Lastly, having a publication and relevant work experience helped me, so I’d suggest taking up Research Intern/Corporate Intern positions if time permits you.
A) I’ll say the sooner you start the better. Reading up on concepts and getting exposure to practical applications in the industry through internships at startups and research internships would provide you an edge in going about this process since the selection process is a bit unorthodox and research based. For DSA practice and preparation related to probability and statistics, you can dedicate the summers before the internship.
A) My preparation wasn’t a very company-specific one. While I was clear that I wanted an internship in a company where my work would be more research-based. I did know these companies preferred a resume with ample work experience but I didn’t know what was the trade-off exactly between work experience and regular DSA preparation. Finding the balance between both was a major struggle that I had.
A) The company was open for all departments, however, there was a CGPA cut-off of 8.00 for the first round. This is one of the few trading companies where there’s no specific bias towards any department or group of departments(circuital/non-circuital). EAAs and PORs do not have any relevance for this particular role.
A) Anyone with an interest in the field of Quantitative Finance and research, and a passion for technology and problem-solving can apply to this company. You’d be researching financial markets, finding alpha signals, and abnormalities, and backtesting your strategies for the same. If this is something that excites you, you should apply to this company.
A) I feel you should have some ML internships/projects in your resume. I’d also recommend having a proper end-to-end time series-based project as well in your resume that’d have applications of modern time series techniques (TimesNET, NBEATS, PatchTST to name a few). There’s a certain section of the interview where the work done by you previously is discussed and having these can help.
A) The CDC internship process is quite hectic and would involve you sitting for tests and interviews throughout the day. The main task at hand is to prioritize the profiles you are interested in and prepare for the same. Things might turn out differently than what you had expected to be at times, and you have to just let out a sign and move on. Dedicate an ample amount of time to making your resume and make it tailor-made to suit the profiles you are targeting and get it reviewed by seniors from those profiles. Lastly, before appearing for an interview for a company, have a word with the seniors who had appeared for it the previous year. Somewhere somehow there’d always be an insight that might turn out to be your upper edge over other candidates. Good luck and trust in the process!

1) Brief introduction and description of your offered role.
A) Hi, there! My name is Aman Kedia and I graduated from IIT Kharagpur with a dual degree in Chemical Engineering. I was placed as an associate business analyst at Capital One via CDC. Capital One is one of the top banks in the US. It also has operations in a few other countries, but in India, it has a unit called DataLabs in Bangalore which it usually hires from our campus.
2) How did you get into Capital One? What was the selection procedure?
A) The selection process begins with the CV submission, which is open to candidates with a CGPA above 7. Following this, a screening test is held at Nalanda, covering aptitude, logical reasoning, data interpretation, and probability and statistics. Based on the test results and CV, a shortlist for interviews is released.
After that, there were four rounds of interviews. The first three were case rounds, followed by an HR round.
In the case rounds, each session begins with a brief introduction. Then, you’re presented with a business situation and asked to perform both qualitative and quantitative analysis, with numerical data provided for the latter. The cases can cover various topics, not necessarily related to the finance industry. Even if it seems difficult, do not panic and think logically. Logical thinking is key, and you can always seek guidance from the interviewers. They are very supportive.
The HR round involves standard HR questions and discussions about your projects and CV. Answering these questions in a structured and thoughtful manner will ensure you get through it easily.
A) For preparation, you need to practice cases. Begin with guesstimates(Communique guesstimates would be a good starting point), then one can watch Victor Cheng’s videos on YouTube or Aditya Agarwal’s playlist on different types of cases to gain perspective. Alternatively, you can also follow any standard casebook like Case Interviews Cracked(CIC), Day One, IIMA, DU casebooks, etc. and you need to practice cases from these casebooks on your own and finally, with a few friends, if possible.
Although Capital One’s case rounds are not conventional consulting-style cases, this practice will help you develop your thought process and business acumen. Kindly note that Capital One values your business acumen and problem-solving skills above everything else. You can also refer to example case round videos of Capital One on YouTube for a better understanding. Additionally, have an idea of how insurance policies and the credit card industry work for sure.
While preparing, it is helpful to have friends with whom you can practice different things, e.g., cases, CP, SQL, etc. It is a must to put in a conscious effort to track your activities so that you don’t lose hold of things. Sometimes things might not go as planned but try to give your best and be as consistent as possible.
A) The work culture at Capital One is known for being collaborative, inclusive, and supportive. It is committed to innovation and continuous learning. The atmosphere encourages teamwork and open communication, with a focus on personal and professional growth. At Capital One, you would find the best people to work with. It is one of the pillars of CapOne. Everyone around is cheerful and always happy to help.
Regarding work-life balance, Capital One generally maintains a healthy balance, offering flexible working hours and various wellness programs as well.
A) The CDC phase has its flavor. You will need to balance academics, final-year projects, CV submissions, test schedules, and preparation. Things can become overwhelming sometimes. What worked for me was scheduling everything on a calendar and keeping track of upcoming CDC events, such as CV submission deadlines, tests and tasks to be done, and making a daily plan. Being around friends and managing things together is very helpful. Discuss with friends so that you don’t miss any deadlines/form submissions/events. Support each other as much as possible, and it will all be worth experiencing. For academics, try to be regular with your projects so that you don’t face any pressure at the end of the semester when your interviews are around the corner. Try attending classes as much as possible as it will lessen your burden during exam week.
A) Capital One believes in changing banking for good and being a pioneer through technological advancements. So, anyone who loves challenges, and has a great analytical and problem-solving mindset would be a great fit.
A) There might be a lot of stressful situations throughout the CDC phase. There might be times when the force might seem against you but be hopeful and keep working on your skills. You might not get shortlisted in the company of your choice or expectation. There could be many reasons for that but it is not in your control. Accept it and move on. There could be a situation where you might not be interviewed because they already hired the required number of folks from the people who were interviewed before you. But one can’t do anything. You have to accept the reality and move on. Try to control the controllables and everything else will fall in place. Believe in yourself and be confident.
Don’t forget that placement is a small part of life and that it is just a tiny piece in the bigger scheme of things.
Feel free to reach out to me if you need to talk or if you want any help!!

A) While targeting this profile, your CV should be well-structured and should reflect the impact of your good work. As it is a tech-oriented company as well as the role, it is better if you have tech-related experience on your CV like DS, NLP, ML, etc. But it is not a hard-bound criteria as I already highlighted that your business acumen is of top-most priority. It is also recommended to get your CV verified by a few alumni/seniors.
Please find attached my CV for your reference is given below. Feel free to contact me in case you want to know anything else.

A) I am Sagar Kumar Karn, a graduate of the 2024 batch. I am a student of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at IIT Kharagpur, enrolled in its Integrated MSc. course in Economics. I am offered a full-time position as a Risk Analyst at Citi Bank. I am a boarder of Patel Hall of Residence. Talking about my previous experiences, I interned with American Express in 2023 as an Analyst intern. Apart from that, I have pursued two research internships in the domain of data science in which I have worked on Natural Language Processing.
2. How did you get into CITI? What was the selection procedure?
A) I was selected by Citi Bank through phase-I of campus placements 2023–24. It was open to all the departments. Shortlisting for the interview was based on the resume.
There were 3 rounds of interviews- two technical and one HR round. Technical rounds focused on resume, econometrics, machine learning, guesstimates and probability and statistics.
The first round was largely based on the domain knowledge in econometrics and statistics, some questions on probability, a couple of puzzles, and a simple guestimate. I was also asked to go through the internships and projects in my CV and some follow up questions were asked.
The second round was also technical. In this round, I was grilled on my internships and projects I had mentioned in my CV. As the role offered by Citi was quite similar to my previous internship role at American Express, a lot of discussion revolved around it and I was asked to explain in detail the project as well as various implications of my work which I did there. I was asked various questions related to machine learning fundamentals (mainly linear regression and logistic regression) and was asked to explain interpretability and scoring metrics I had used in the internship.
Other than that, the interviewer deep dived into my term project in econometrics which was in the domain of time series modelling and was grilled on fundamentals of econometrics such as hypothesis testing, regression, various models along with explaining the model used in the project and statistical tests performed.
The third round was an HR round which was easy. They asked standard HR questions like Why Citi, why this profile and location preference.
A)
One of the basic difficulties, one faces is proper revision of topics before interviews. This is a major problem for people preparing for multiple profiles. I was preparing for both SDE roles and Analytics roles and had initially devoted more time to DSA, so had comparatively less time to revise topics of data science and econometrics. My advice to people prepping for both profiles is to keep enough time for the revision of these topics.
4. According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
A) If you have an interest in Data Science and like have interest in using machine learning in formulating and developing models for risk modelling, then this is the ideal job. The work here is more on the implementation and analytical side so someone who are really interested in the implementation of ML algorithms should definitely go for it.
5) What specific advice would you give to the junta to handle stressful situations and maintain their calm?
A) Placements could be quite stressful and one might feel disheartened if some tests don’t go as you expect. Instead of dwelling on a few failures, keep revising concepts and practicing problems. Give your best in tests and keep learning from mistakes.
It is important to have a good peer group who can provide you moral support during those testing times and also help you in placement prep.
Regarding the interviews it is important to remain calm. While it is easier said than done considering the atmosphere around, it won’t help if you take too much pressure. Take some time to think first what has been asked instead of blabbering anything in the interviews. If you can’t think of an answer, politely say that you don’t know.
In the end, if you are rejected by a company, instead of being dejected, learn from your mistakes. Keep prepping for next interviews. There are a lot of companies that visit the campus so don’t feel disheartened in case a few interviews don’t go well. In the long run, it all turns out to be good in the end. Take help from batchmates, seniors when needed.

A) The role is named consultant but the job description is completely about artificial intelligence.
2) How did you get into EXL Services? What was the selection procedure? There are three steps Resume screening, online assessment, and 2 rounds of interview.
A) Online assessments will be based on aptitude and logical reasoning. In the interview, they ask for probability, SQL, Case/guesstimate, puzzle, and resume. In my case, they asked me to explain my project which was on NLP. In the second round of interviews, they asked probability, puzzle, guesstimate, resume, and HR questions like strength, weakness, Why you want to join EXL, etc.
A) Don’t take aptitude practice simply you have to give time for practice so that you can manage time during exam. A bit of CAT preparation opened up my mind. You should have a good understanding of ML algorithms and the points you are adding to your CV. Practice SQL very well. We should be prepared for everything since we have to perform our best whenever we get the opportunity. The online assessment phase was a bit smoother in my case I faced difficulty during an interview where I had to select between two companies. You should make wise decisions based on your capability.
A) This is a very important thing, to manage academics to get a good CGPA, which is very important in the entire placement process, and to do extracurricular activities to participate in hall competitions, and do projects/internships. One thing I could say is don’t rush in all things you should give your 100% effort in the activity which you are doing. Don’t just do it for writing somewhere or showing somewhere, Do it for your development.
A) The one who is interested in artificial intelligence can apply for this job.
A) This entire process tests your patience, and confidence more than your skills. Be confident and patient through the entire process which will give success. Don’t get disappointed when your mates are getting placed everyone will get a chance where they have to give their best. Make a group that will help you in the entire process. Verify your CV with a few others before final submission.
A) CV is attached below so you can check it out once. Your CV should be focused on Machine Learning, Deep Learning, NLP, CV.

A) Hello, KGPians! I am Aditi Ujjain, a 2024 B.Tech graduate from the Department of Mining Engineering. I was fortunate enough to secure a position as a Business Analyst at Flipkart through the CDC placements. This role offers a dynamic and insightful experience, primarily focusing on leveraging data to drive decision-making and enhance business performance.
As a Business Analyst, my key responsibility is to monitor and analyze the core metrics of the team I am assigned to. When any of these metrics fall outside the expected range or trend, I’m responsible for conducting a detailed Root Cause Analysis (RCA). This involves digging deep into the data to identify the underlying reasons for the anomalies and formulating actionable insights to address the issues.
2) How did you get into Flipkart? What was the selection procedure?
A) The selection process for the Business Analyst role at Flipkart began with the CV screening. Out of all the applicants, 25 were shortlisted for the interview stage.
There were two rounds of interviews:
Round 1: This was focused on business concepts and included some math-related problems, along with guesstimates.
Round 2: This round was centered on business and data-related questions. Here are the key questions from each round:
Round 1:
1. Guesstimate: Out of the total number of phones used in India, estimate how many are prepaid.
2. As the owner of a high-end restaurant (not listed on Swiggy or Zomato), what metrics would you use to assess if the food is good? You cannot use customer surveys or feedback. 3. What metrics would you use to determine someone’s credit score?
4. You and a friend take different elevators in a building with two elevators. What is the probability that you both end up on the same floor?
Round 2:
1. (a) Given Flipkart’s diverse customer base, what metrics would you use to categorize customers into high, middle, and low-income groups?
(b) How would you prioritize these metrics?
© If your user base is 10 million but you have detailed data for only 1 million users, how would you utilize this data to improve your analysis?
(d) How would you devise a statistical model to categorize the remaining 9 million users into these income categories?
2. I was asked some HR-related questions focused on why I have chosen the role of a BusinessAnalyst, how my skills align with the requirements of this position, and how I can demonstratethat I would be a good fit for the company.
To prepare for this role, I recommend focusing on product management skills. Start by practicing guesstimates, product case studies, and building presentation decks. Books like “How to Crack the PM Interview” and “Decode and Conquer” are excellent resources to help you understandkey metrics and develop strong case-solving approaches. Additionally, gaining a basic understanding of SQL, Excel, and Machine Learning will give you a competitive edge. Once you’re shortlisted for interviews, the focus will largely be on your CV, so ensure you’re well-versed in the industries you’ve worked in, the projects from your internship, and how they align with the role you’re targeting. Tailor your preparation to highlight your expertise and strengths that match the profile you’re aiming for.
A) The work culture at Flipkart is fantastic. The team is highly supportive, and you are given full ownership of new initiatives. There’s a flat hierarchy, meaning everyone’s ideas and feedback are welcome. The work-life balance is also great, with flexible work-from-home options, understanding colleagues, and no strict login-logout timings — things I’ve come to appreciate immensely. Additionally, Flipkart is expanding into diverse sectors such as finance, hyperlocal services, and other emerging areas, creating numerous exciting opportunities to engage in impactful, cutting-edge work.
A) I understand that placement season can be incredibly stressful, and it may feel like everything needs to be managed simultaneously. However, you don’t need to handle everything at once. The key is not to procrastinate — prioritize what’s most important to you and start with that. Leverage your support system by studying in groups, practicing mock interviews with friends, and seeking help when needed. It’s also important to take breaks and engage in extracurricular activities to relax and recharge your mind.
6) In your opinion, who should ideally apply for this job?
A) If you enjoy solving problems by delving into fundamental issues and using both technical and product insights, this role would be a great fit for you. It offers a balanced mix of tech-driven analysis and product-oriented thinking.
A) I understand that placements can feel like the most critical moment in your journey, but trust me, they are not the final verdict on your potential or future. While it’s natural to feel the pressure, remember that there’s an element of luck involved, and sometimes things just don’t go asplanned despite your best efforts. Everyone around you is incredibly talented, and the competition can feel overwhelming, but know that CDC is just one of many opportunities. This is not the end, it’s simply a step in your larger journey. What matters most is how you handle the process, how you stay calm and focused amidst the pressure.

A) My name is Shalmali Sriram. I completed my Bachelor’s in Architecture from IIT Kharagpur, with a minor in M.Sc. Economics and a micro-specialization in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, graduating in 2024.
I recently joined HSBC as a Global Analytics Centre (GAC) Analyst. The term “GAC Analyst” is used broadly within the company to describe any member of the Analytics team, encompassing various roles such as business analyst, data analyst, etc., depending on the department assignment after joining.
2) How did you get into HSBC? What was the selection procedure?
A) The selection process included four key stages: CV submission, a psychometric test, a technical test, and interviews. After submitting their CVs, candidates were required to take a psychometric test on the HSBC portal. Based on performance in this test and the CV, a list of shortlisted candidates was released.
HSBC visited the campus for two roles: GAC Analyst and MFO Graduate. Both roles had a common aptitude test followed by a coding test, though the coding test was optional for GAC Analyst candidates. The aptitude test was relatively simple and included some questions on MS Excel, so do review Excel before taking the test!
Interviews were conducted on Day 2.5, consisting of four rounds: Group Discussion, Technical Round 1, Technical Round 2, and an HR Round.
A) Firstly, make a good CV and get it rectified by seniors! The shortlist for the technical test was highly selective, so your CV is critical. Communication skills and confidence were emphasized throughout the process, so work on these areas.
For the technical rounds, practice Excel syntax, SQL and Python functions (e.g., joins, date, and time functions), and ML theory if your CV includes ML projects. However, HSBC placed more importance on problem-solving and analytical thinking skills than technical knowledge. Candidates preparing for Product and Consulting roles found the guesstimates easier due to their extensive practice. The CV review was thorough, with detailed questions about tools and functions used during internships.
A) The work culture here at HSBC is splendid! Since joining a month ago, the company has facilitated a smooth transition with an accommodating training program. The work environment is flexible, with hybrid working arrangements.
A) To be honest, having a 5-year course truly helped in managing extracurriculars alongside academics as the major workload of extracurriculars comes in 2nd and 3rd years. However, it is necessary to know that extracurriculars play a vital role in placements for Non-Tech roles.
Personally, for me, 2nd year in architecture was the most “peaceful” year, with comparatively less academic load. Hence I was able to give time to extracurriculars and was quite dedicated to societies. It helped that I was passionate about design, so it felt less like “work” and was something I used to enjoy. 3rd year was challenging on the academic front. What truly saved me was having a great bunch of friends in my societies who were understanding and helped me manage the different PORs when my academic load was at its peak.
A) Anyone with a knack for problem-solving is a good fit for the job, just make sure that you hone your communication and technical skills. An analytical and structured mindset was what HSBC was mainly looking for.
A) For Non-Tech roles, have a group with whom you can do case and guesstimate prep. More than anything, find good friends! Find people who’ll stand with you in the stressful times, and who are just a call away when you need something.
A) For non-tech profiles, emphasize internships and positions of responsibility (PORs). Highlight the impact of your internships with metrics, and keep the language concise. PORs and extracurriculars are crucial for shortlisting in non-tech roles, so refine these sections. For analyst roles, sharpen your technical skills and include projects that demonstrate their application.

A) I was offered the role of Process Integration Engineer, which entails precise inspection and quality control of defects in wafers to increase the yield of chip production.
2) How did you get into Intel? What was the selection procedure?
A) Through Campus placement. Aptitude Test, CV, and Interview. Although the aptitude test was for hardware engineer, and so is the job offer listed in CDC, I was selected for an interview by the LTD Yield Team of Intel for a different job roster, based on my CV, and was finally offered the role based on my single round interview.
A) My preparation was nil. Hence, I did not face any difficulties even during the interview since I had a “don’t care but need interview experience” attitude especially since this was my first interview. Most of my physics background batchmates did not express interest in the ‘Hardware engineer’ role by Intel, feeling that M.Tech in Functional Materials and Devices under the umbrella of the Department of Physics would not stand a chance against other mainstream branches and backgrounds, but golden opportunities come from the least or never expected places.
A) Intel’s work culture is the best. As long as the work gets done, everyone is happy. You can find time to enjoy what you earn from your job. Work-life balance and work culture are among the best of what I have heard from my peers in other companies.
A) I had zero preparation for the CDC (PLEASE DO NOT IMITATE!). Instead, I spent most of my time in my M. Tech project, which is my passion project, and I personally believe this helped me in my interview.
A) Physics background students in semiconductor domains.
A) Aim for excellence in your passion and/or interest, and success will follow you naturally — Three Idiots quote.
A) Design of Engineering Skills, Analytic ability, Skills, and Experiences in the domain of semiconductor research (very optional but noteworthy — Photonics specialization or project).

1) Brief introduction and description of your role offered
A) Hey! Hope you’re doing well. I am Divyanshu Gupta. I recently graduated from IIT KGP with a major in Biotechnology. I was a boarder at Azad Hall of Residence while on campus. I’m from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. I was grateful to receive a full-time offer from Navi Technologies as an Associate Product Manager (APM) during the CDC Placements for the academic year 2023–24. I am working in the Field Collections pod at Navi, striving to ensure our company complies with the law while effectively boosting our collection efficiency. It has been quite some time working at Navi, and I can say that the experience has been amazing, challenging, tiring, and thrilling so far. Before I begin with the blog, I want to let you know that Navi came for the Product Analyst (PA) profile during CDC Placements, but we were assigned the role of Associate Product Manager (APM) on our offer letter, with all other details being the same as those shared by CDC earlier.
A) I had two other interview shortlists (HiLabs APM and General Mills) on the first day of placements, in addition to Navi PA. Navi had the interview scheduled before the other two companies. There were three rounds for the APM role at Navi: an aptitude-based round and two interview rounds (one with a PM and the next with an SPM). Around forty candidates were selected for the interview rounds, and finally, four received job offers.
The aptitude test was quite unorthodox, with questions ranging from geometry to numbers and data interpretation. I didn’t find it easy, as there were around 60 questions to be completed in 90 minutes (the numbers might be off). Honestly, I think my performance was somewhere between moderate and bad.
The first round of interviews was with a Product Manager at Navi. It started with a quick introduction, followed by questions about my CV. I was asked some basic questions on SQL and then given a guesstimate and a product case to discuss. The interviewer primarily grilled me on the assumptions I made during my approach. I felt that I did somewhere between okay and decent.
The second round of interviews was with a Senior Product Manager. Unexpectedly, he didn’t talk about my CV at all and directly began with what I would call an unconventional product case after a quick introduction. I was grilled for an hour or so on the same, with questions arising layer by layer, right from guesstimate to technical understanding, and product thinking to go-to-market strategy for the particular product. It was an exhausting yet amazing experience. Then, when given the chance to ask him questions at the end, I had a detailed discussion with the interviewer about my questions and thoughts about Navi’s business, suggesting my ideas for growth. I feel that it was the moment where I earned the most brownie points. The interview went on for around 75 minutes if I remember correctly. As the interview ended, I had a gut feeling that it went amazingly, somewhere between good and excellent. After an hour or so, I got to know
that I had been selected.
A) In my opinion, the challenge of preparing for product management roles during CDC Placements lies in the sheer volume and diversity of available resources. A search on the internet yields numerous websites and other resources promising to teach product management. Some are helpful, but many may not be suitable for those preparing for Placement interviews in a few months. Carefully selecting resources and dedicating sufficient time and effort to utilize them effectively are crucial, in my view. It’s beneficial to form a small group of three to four people interested in similar roles for practicing and learning together.
I prepared for the learning part using resources from The Product Folks’ website and videos from the PM School YouTube channel. Additionally, I diligently read books like “Decode and Conquer,” “Swipe to Unlock,” and “Cracking the PM Interview.” To enhance my aptitude, I practiced using
resources available on the internet for CAT preparation. For the practical aspect, I practiced product cases from IIMs’ casebooks with relevant individuals.
Apart from the challenge of finding good people to prepare cases with and the pressure of potentially failing multiple placement tests, alongside struggling to prepare adequately for end-semester exams, I faced a lack of motivation and growing anxiety due to the fear of ending up without a placement offer, which did take a toll on me. It was my friends who supported me during these difficult times and helped me overcome the mental pressure.
A) Since Navi is a fast-growing startup, no two days are the same. Every day, you get to learn something new. With extremely talented people around to help you learn and grow, it’s an incredible platform to begin your professional career. We believe in shipping fast and shipping the best, hence the environment is quite fast-paced. Sometimes, the working hours might feel long and tiring, but the exposure, ownership, and learning opportunities outweigh these challenges. The people here are highly motivated, passionate, and generally friendly. Speaking about work-life balance, you won’t find the most relaxed balance here, but it’s certainly not something to dread. If you’re eager to push yourself to the limits early in your career, Navi is a great place for you.
A) I surely wasn’t good at managing my time, but I tried to find a few hours every day for preparation by sticking to a schedule. It did help to some extent. Towards the end of October, I started skipping classes to prepare
more, but I ended up wasting time hanging around here or there. So, I resumed attending my classes and reduced the time I spent on unproductive activities. While planning my schedule, I made sure to allocate some time to contribute to The Scholars’ Avenue, as I had joined the media body in my final year.
6) According to you, who should apply for this job?
A) The role of an APM is suitable for someone who genuinely wants to pursue a career in product management. I feel that it’s the best role for someone who is preparing for product roles as their primary option in CDC Placements.
A) Placement season can be really tough and even depressing, but it’s crucial to stay mentally strong and overcome these challenges. Surround yourself with a supportive circle of close people — whether they’re your wing mates, friends from outside the Hall, girlfriend, seniors, friends from other colleges, siblings, or anyone you trust. Having this support network is invaluable. Remember, things will improve over time. Stay motivated and focus on self-improvement; you’ll ultimately achieve what you deserve, even if it takes longer than expected.
Most of you will encounter rejections along the way. Share your setbacks with your friends and family at every step of the journey. Doing so will lighten your burden, and your loved ones will be more than willing to offer support. All will be well!

A) My name is Vibhushit Agarwal, and I have completed my B.Tech in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. I have received a full-time offer as a Software Development Engineer from Navi through the CDC Placements.
2) How did you get into NAVI? What was the selection procedure?
A) The online assessment for Navi isn’t challenging. It included questions on core CS concepts like OOP, OS, and Databases, along with some basic DSA questions, making it relatively easy to qualify.The interviews are conducted offline and consist of technical rounds followed by an HR round. The technical rounds are straightforward, but the HR round is crucial as it assesses whether you’re a good fit for the company. Therefore, it’s important to prepare thoroughly for the HR interview.
A) To prepare for the role, I primarily focused on Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) and Competitive Programming (CP). I regularly participated in contests on Codeforces to get ready for the online assessments conducted by companies. I would advise juniors to prioritize core CS concepts such as OOP, OS, and others.The major difficulty I faced was maintaining consistency in my preparation. However, the healthy competition among my peers kept me motivated and helped me stay on track.
A) I haven’t joined the company yet, so I can’t provide firsthand details. However, I’ve heard positive things about Navi’s supportive work culture and good learning opportunities.
A) Frankly, we get ample time outside of academics. The key is being consistent with your preparation daily. If you’re preparing for placements, it’s expected that you’ll need to cut back on some extracurricular activities to focus on your preparation.
A) Those who are interested in software engineering and are ready to learn challenging technologies like Spring Boot should ideally apply for this job. Especially those with a keen interest in Java development should consider this opportunity.
A) Getting an offer during placements isn’t just about your skills, it’s also about how you handle the stressful 2–3 month period. Don’t get stressed out, as it won’t help. Focus on giving online assessments for companies and stay calm. Everyone gets their chance to succeed, you just need to be ready for it and seize the opportunity during initial interviews.
A) Do include critical technical keywords in your CV such as OOP, OS, Networks, SQL, Codeforces (expert or above), and other relevant terms. Companies often shortlist candidates based on these criteria.

A) Hi there! I’m Kartik Pontula, BTech CSE 2024 from LBS Hall, and I interned at MathWorks after which I wanted to sit in the placements irrespective of the PPO result. More on this later.
I’ve recently begun working as a System Software Engineer at NVIDIA Bangalore in the Tegra Video team (imagine a CPU, GPU, and hardware accelerators for video processing, deep learning, etc in a single chip. That’s a Tegra). We deal with low-level drivers/firmware, and high-level SDKs for these systems-on-a-chip. I won’t lie, the systems are complex, but I’m a geek at heart, and every single day I’m having fun learning more and more about how they work.
Circling back to my intro, why did I proactively look forward to giving the placements, an unpopular dreaded last-resort option?
First and foremost, I found it difficult to blend with the culture at my internship; something felt off, and I didn’t feel like I belonged there.
Secondly, the placements seemed too valuable of a learning experience to ignore. Difficult pursuits hold value in my eyes, for their own sake; they’ve always made me a better person. Plus, I thought that after leaving KGP I’d never get this kind of direct exposure on the corporate hiring pipeline at such a large scale.
Granted, there was a much, much easier way out if I just wanted to learn it all: to observe and ask my placement peers instead of tossing away my potential offer just so that I suffer in it myself. Still, I knew I wouldn’t learn by being a passive observer. I knew I wanted this struggle. I knew I’d deeply regret it if I went the safe way out.
Quick and obvious disclaimer: I do not endorse discarding away a PPO now even if you want a better offer afterwards. The job market is not a force to be reckoned with, and it’s a bad strategic move to give up what you have for the likelihood of something better. In hindsight, I was lucky to land an offer more suitable for me. But I know a few folks in the reject-PPO club for whom things didn’t work out so well.
Having said that, here’s the story of the most eventful chapter of my life yet.
2. How would you describe the work culture in your company? How is the work-life balance?
A) I’ve barely finished a month here, but I’m perfectly content with everything. Office attendance is team-dependent (read: WFH with no minimum attendance in my case). Colleagues and managers are remarkably experienced and knowledgeable, which is a green flag. The company encourages and rewards innovation (via patents and an annual internal tech conference). As for the PC setup, well, it’s NVIDIA; expect nothing less than an RTX 4060 workstation, and that’s just at entry level ;)
Ignore the 16” Macbook Pro on the side, that’s just for general use :P
One other important thing is there are plenty of opportunities for growth within the company, which is something I genuinely value. All in all, this looks like the start of something cool.
3) How did you get into your company? What was the selection procedure?
MCQs mixed with 2–3 IDE-based problems on OOP in C++, DSA (stacks, queues, binary trees, etc. No advanced CP), OS, networks, and CompArch concepts. Nothing particularly remarkable; the test was of medium difficulty.
A panel of two, one of whom is my current manager, a smart and wholesome dude :)
Questions were about why I wanted to work at NVIDIA (I harped that my skills are a good fit, I like what NVIDIA does, and I believe I can contribute to it), do I want to pursue a masters later on (I said perhaps, and the HR was supportive of an MS nonetheless).
One thing of note: Irrespective of my competence I demonstrated technical passion throughout the interview. In simple terms, I showed that I had fun discussing engineering ideas and learning new ones. For instance, I was asked if Linux had an inbuilt fork bomb suppression mechanism (about my OS mini-shell). I’d read an article on this out of interest long ago, so I geeked out about it. Little things like this perhaps go a long way in convincing an interviewer you’re not only smart but also fun to work with, which is even more important IMO.
The interview began at 10 AM on Day 1 and lasted 1.5–2 hrs, single technical round + HR. My second interview was for Navi SDE, which I gave pretty late, and didn’t qualify the second round for. At 2:30 PM I’m told I’ve scored the NVIDIA offer.
I didn’t react much upon hearing the news. JK, okay maybe I cried a little bit. Perhaps more than that.
4. How to prepare for them? What difficulties did you face during this time?
A) Preparation strategies and resources for software roles are common knowledge. NVIDIA is more systems-oriented, emphasizing more on CS and hardware fundamentals over raw CP skills. My selection procedure demonstrates the same.
With this out of the way, let’s take a step back and walk through how I felt during the whole process.
Picture this: You have meaningful good reasons to secure a placement; to make your family and friends proud, to make yourself proud. To be a breadwinner. To prove your intellectual worth. To be an inspiration for others.
So, you walk the way that wise men say: binge those AlgoZenith lectures, grok those problem sets from CSES, AtCoder, Codeforces, LeetCode, USACO Guide (every daily visit to https://usaco.guide awards you cow pics :D).
You vet every alphabet of your CV; get it senior reviewed. You learn/revise the CS fundamentals from your old lectures (assuming you’re in CS, that is). You discover https://learncpp.com and regret not reading it before for OOP preparation.
The tests begin. You are prepared. You are ready.
The first test comes. And you bomb it. You knew how to solve the questions, but couldn’t do it in time.
Second test. Even worse; couldn’t submit even a single one this time.
And then another. Questions are just too hard, you haven’t prepared enough, and you have no chance anyway.
Fourth. Fifth. It’s all deja vu.
Every test begins manifesting a pattern, one which you refuse to see, but one that eats away at your conscience.
You’ve lost count. It’s as if you’re not even giving the tests anymore.
I think you get the picture.
What made it worse was that I tied my sense of self-worth to my test performance and company shortlisting. In my head, this was another series of unbiased screening tests like JEE (foolishness in hindsight), so my poor performance meant it was solely my fault for messing up, for not being good enough. At least this is what I kept telling myself.
Let me take the emotional glasses off and explain things more objectively.
I’m not particularly sharp at competitive programming. I don’t enjoy doing it, and can’t bring myself to. There’s just something about it that rubs me the wrong way. The programs are use-and-throw, and folks are incentivized to use poor software practices like “using namespace std;” and “#define int long long”, all for the sake of contest speed.
I can understand how software works, and write out decent code, but not fast enough to be comfortable in CP tests. This was unfortunate since it closed more doors of opportunity for me than I anticipated.
Despite all this, there were those few tests where I scored well, which made all the difference. That, and close friends to carry my broken self along, and a whole lotta luck.
Judgement day arrived (Day 0), and I answered nothing in my NKS interview. That was my only interview that day, so I went to sleep. On day 1, a friend called to inform me of my NVIDIA and Navi interviews from 10 AM. Unfazed as ever, I say “Cool”.
Then I head to my best-friend-cum-mentor’s room at 3 AM to spend my remaining time preparing for the interview; googling NVIDIA and Navi interview questions and understanding what they’d ask.
NVIDIA Glassdoor comments indicated a whole lot of core CS and hardware concepts: our coursework on SWE, OS, networks, COA, and some OOP. We figured that I could rely on my course projects for an edge and explain my work in them with technical depth and passion.
After revising these topics till 8 AM, I get ready and decide to give the NVIDIA interview first, while ensuring to be the first candidate they look at. I show up early and tell the place I’ll go first, prioritizing it over Navi. (I’d lost faith in my CP skills). The rest is history.
TLDR, I wouldn’t have been here had it not been for my friends.
A) I didn’t.
Most of my CP preparation was in July and August. After having my CV built and polished with my friends’ support, I had little time or energy to practice anything once the tests began.
I’d wake up, to realize that I either missed a test owing to my sleep routine (rather the lack of it), or I realize I have a test right now and I cycle off to Nalanda, to earn the opportunity of another failure.
I applied to every software company with a reasonable base pay and tried to attempt all of their tests. Everything else took a back seat: academics, BTP, family. The only time management I did was alarms to ensure I woke up correctly since there wasn’t much else I could do to wake up at a comfortable pace.
A) Any aspiring software engineer who is more of a systems guy than a competitive programmer may find their place here IMO, although that’s not a hard and fast rule. HFTs are another option if you also want to be rich ;)
A) Despite my rather pessimistic narration and constantly feeling like crap after every failure, I never stopped trying. Deep down, I kept telling myself that I would do whatever it took to secure a placement, CDC or not, no matter what happened this season. Sitting around and feeling sorry for myself wouldn’t help; this is my burden to carry, my problem to solve, and solve it I shall.
Remember that you must not measure yourself by your performance in every test. Selection is not a 100% objective process like JEE-A, and companies hire as per their business needs; no amount of grinding Codeforces can change that. March forward with hope, no matter how imperfect or unprepared you may be. Expect the worst that can happen, and be prepared to handle that scenario, since it’s your responsibility to ensure you live your best life.
I also cannot understate how crucial your friendships would be. They inspired me to always be better, and they kept me going through it all.
My journey was far from perfect, and I still emerged victorious. And to those who have lost hope, I truly wish that after reading this you think to yourself, “If this guy could do it, perhaps I could too”.
I would like to end with a quote from one of my biggest influences, Randy Pausch:
“The brick walls are not there to keep us out. They’re there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.”
A) My last updated ERP CV can be viewed down here
Anyway, dear reader, I hope you got something out of my experience. Wish you all the very best, placements machine! :)

I am Dhruv. I completed my B. Tech. in Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering at IIT Kharagpur with a Minor in Computer Science and Engineering and a Micro Specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Applications.
I joined NVIDIA Graphics as a Systems Software Engineer this year and am working on the tools team for GPU Software.
Last year I decided to sit for on-campus placements. From rejecting my PPO at Cisco to getting shortlisted in McKinsey to getting no offers on Day 0 and finally getting selected on Day 1 it has been a roller coaster ride. I am glad that I experienced the placements and would like to thank my friends who were there with me throughout the process and my parents and family for supporting me in every decision I made.
2) How did you get into NVIDIA? What was the selection procedure?
NVIDIA came for Software and Hardware roles and took the interview on December 1 (day 1 of the placement season). However, some companies do come on 30th November (which is called Day 0 of the placements). The selection process of NVIDIA was simple, it took a written test followed by an interview.
The written test for the Sofware profile consisted of DSA coding questions (leetcode medium level) + MCQ questions on CS topics + some aptitude questions.
For the interview, they took one technical and one HR round. Both of these rounds were online. The technical interview round of NVIDIA took almost 1.5 hrs which is quite longer than other companies as far as I know. It started with a question on queues (I don’t remember the exact question). They wanted to see the logic only and complete code was not required. Then they switched to computer science topics mainly OS and OOPS and asked questions that covered almost everything I knew about these subjects. Questions on my resume were also asked at the end of the interview. At the end of any interview, the interviewers always ask if you have any questions for them, and it is good if you have already thought about it before. For me what worked was asking them about their experience in that company and what kind of work they have been doing.
After my 1st interview was done I was soon called for the HR interview. This was a short interview of hardly 10 minutes. It started with the introduction and then the HR asked me about
my interests in the software domain and my preferred job location. Soon after I got the call from POC that I was selected.
My placement preparation started in mid-August when I rejected the PPO offer from Cisco Sytems expecting to get a better offer and also to experience the madness of placements at IIT Kgp. It was not a very easy decision as almost every senior and friend suggested I take the offer. Everyone was expecting that the placement season was not going to be good but I still took the challenge not knowing what was yet to come. Later it turned out that the placement season was very bad �� and many companies that I thought would come did not show up at all ��. So I would suggest if you are someone who is rejecting a PPO offer from CDC then do it based on:
a) The profile or companies you are targeting.
b) Your level of preparation and also how good your resume will look compared to others. In my case, I had a 9+ CG and good internships until my placements which helped me a lot to get shortlisted in many companies.
c) Don’t just rely on the previous year’s data, because it can be completely different this year.
Now coming to preparation for the Software profile. The important things to prepare are 1. DSA: I used to give regular contests along with solving Leetcode problems. I already had some practice from my internship preparation but I had almost not been doing CP (competitive programming) since I got my intern offer. I realized it would have been better if I kept doing CP as this would have not only helped me to get a better rating but also I would have one less thing to worry about. Anyways practicing and discussing questions with my wingmates helped a lot during placements.
2. Computer Science topics (mainly OS, Oops and DBMS): I prepared these from various YouTube sources. Also the AZ (Algozenith) boot camp was a good place to start learning these topics. These topics are important as most people would not have done them during CDC internship preparation, unlike DSA which is common for both. Many companies have questions based on these topics in the tests as well so it is good to start preparing these topics as soon as possible. Learn SQL as well, because in the tests for data roles, SQL questions are focused.
3. Puzzles: I found preparing puzzles to be very important for the interviews. Not only for companies which come for quant profiles but also for Software roles, puzzles were
asked during interviews. The book “50 Challenging Problems in Probability” and https://brainstellar.com/ are some of the resources I found useful.
4. Resume: Last but one of the most important things to do during placements is to make a good resume and prepare it well. Go through as many resumes as you can from seniors and friends (https://swgiitkgp.org/cvrepo) and then make your resume. ERP gives you the option to create 3 resumes and you can use it well keeping in mind what would work for which profile. Get your resumes verified and grilled by your friends and multiple seniors. You can also train ChatGPT and take its help to create good points for your resume.
Along with the software profile I prepared for consulting also, as I was shortlisted by McKinsey and Company 15 days before the interviews started. It was a very big point of the whole placements phase for me because only 6 people from our campus were shortlisted. It was not something I was expecting but when it came, I felt it was a very good opportunity and prepared a full 15 days for it. At that time I stopped preparing for software interviews, I was just giving all the tests and doing case prep. I will not go very deep into my case prep, but I connected with some of my friends and seniors who have done case prep before and can help and guide you well. There are many case books, I practiced from “Case Interview Cracked”, “IIMA” and “IIMB” casebooks mainly. You need to do a lot of interview practice for case interviews because it helps you to create your structure of thinking and speaking in interviews. This is what I felt although I am no expert in this.
The interviews for the consulting companies were on 30th November (Day 0). Unfortunately, McKinsey did not take anyone from IIT Kgp. So I was back to square 1. I went back that day, I had some interview shortlists for Dec 1 in the software companies, so I went through OS and OOPS during the night. Finally, on Day 1 I got placed at NVIDIA.
From my experience, I would like to highlight that things can go mayhem and many unexpected things could happen during the Placement process but you need to keep your calm and keep adjusting to the situations you are in. You should get help from your close friends and seniors, but you should not hesitate to reach out to other people who might be experts in something and could help you out. In my case when I started doing case prep, no one in my hall was doing case prep, so I reached out to some other batchmates and seniors and I was very lucky that everyone tried to help me and even took regular case interviews. One more incident I would like to share is that 5 days before Day 1 at midnight I started having deep pain in my teeth due to a wisdom tooth. I went out of my room and knocked at one of my wingmate’s doors and told him the problem. Suddenly 2 more friends came by and they went to BC Roy at
midnight to bring the medicine for my pain. Things like this would have been very different if I had not shared my problems with my friends and tried to solve them myself. I believe moments like these show the true power of the community we have at IIT KGP.
The work culture at NVIDIA is dynamic and collaborative, fostering continuous learning and growth.
As for work-life balance, it can vary depending on team needs, but NVIDIA offers flexibility and a range of benefits that support both professional and personal well-being.
Although I held multiple PORs until 3rd year of college, I was quite free during the final year. During the placement semester, I focused on placements mainly. My BTP professor also did not put much pressure on me that semester although I feel I gave more time to my BTP project than most people do. So select your BTP project and professor wisely. And obviously, I did not attend any lectures during that semester (do at your own risk).
NVIDIA has all kinds of software projects going on, from core GPU software to projects related to AI. So anybody interested in GPUs and cutting-edge technologies should apply for this job.
Talk with your friends and family if you ever get stressed. Taking care of your health is also very important so have proper food and water.
You may face failures and setbacks during the process so be mentally prepared and take the learnings from previous failures and move on.
Prepare your CV well, ask your friends to take mock interviews, and grill each other CVs.

1) Brief introduction and description of the role you are offering.
A) This is Ch. Surya Sai Ram, a fresh graduate of the Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering Department. I am a dual degree student specializing in Vision and Intelligent Systems. I received an offer from Qualcomm in the placement season and interned at A.P.T Portfolio. I am a fast learner and have a knack for problem-solving. Some of my hobbies include reading books, watching movies, and listening to music.
For now, I was assigned to the NOC — Network on Chip team of Qualcomm.
A) We had a written test and 3 rounds of interviews as part of the selection process. The written test comprised of MCQs on Digital Electronics, logic families, Verilog, and System Verilog. Also, there were aptitude and programming sections (MCQs).
The first interview was mainly focused on the resume. I was asked to explain one of my projects in detail. Then I was asked some questions about the coursework (mainly computer architecture) on the resume. The interview almost went like a normal discussion round. The second round, I would say had been the most challenging. The interviewer started with a tricky question where the answer lies in Static Timing Analysis (STA). This interview mainly focused on this single question and the rest of the interview was based on my answers to his previous questions. Finally, he asked me very basic questions on Verilog and digital design. Then was the third round which was a HR round. The interview mainly comprised of usual HR questions.
My personal experience was great. All my interviewers were friendly throughout my interview. Questions on PoRs were not asked. I had a great time taking both the written test and the interviews of Qualcomm.
A) During the preparation period, I revised the entire notes on Digital Electronic Circuits that were covered during the semester with a special focus on Sequential Circuits and FSM design. NPTEL lectures by Prof. Indranil Sengupta on Hardware Modelling using Verilog were very helpful in building strong Verilog fundamentals. Also one of my department electives, Advanced Computer Systems Architecture helped in my first interview. I looked up STA on YouTube videos and learned it. It is an easy concept, so it would be an added advantage to read it since it is usually not taught in colleges.
The main difficulty is managing the time for placements along with the semester. Plan properly and I am sure you will come out with flying colors.
Important Depth / Additional Courses: Digital Electronics Circuits and Laboratory Component, Advanced Computer Systems Architecture, VLSI Engineering
Reference Book(s) : Verilog HDL by Samir Palnitkar
A) Everyone on the team is very approachable and friendly. You can put forward all your concerns in front of them without any hesitation. They are so welcoming and empathetic to the new college graduates.
In my opinion, work-life balance is given the most importance at Qualcomm. There are lots of facilities in the office and you can make use of the most out of everything here.
A) This has been the most difficult part of my placement journey. I have taken my coursework such that they would be useful for placements as well. Also, my MTP guide has been very friendly and supportive during the semester. Hence I utilized the maximum amount of time each day as much as possible. Have open discussions with your friends if you ever feel like you can’t make it. They would be very supportive.
A) Anyone who is interested in digital hardware design verification, or chip design and wants to explore more of the field can apply for this job.
A) Make a proper plan and try to stick to the plan. Have open discussions with your friends. Never doubt yourself. Just wait for the time to pass. Everything falls into place.
A) Mention relevant coursework on which you are confident in your CV since you might directly be asked questions based on that. Highlight your skills in Digital Electronic Circuits and Verilog, if possible. Have a clear idea about your internship(s) and projects. Mention your achievements. PoRs and Extra Curricular Activities are not important but it is no harm if you have any.

Ans: Hello KGPians! Ritanuka Ghosh here, a Master’s student in Geology at IIT Kharagpur. I have just completed my degree from the Department of Geology and Geophysics. I come from Kolkata and have a bachelor’s degree from Presidency University, Kolkata.
I’ve been placed at a core company, Schlumberger (SLB), in the oil and gas industry. The role offered is yet to be confirmed, but it will be either a geologist or petrophysicist. Our main job will be to read and analyze well logs from different oil-bearing basins worldwide, using cutting-edge technologies and software, and predict the possibility of hydrocarbon-bearing formations.
2) How did you get into your company? What was the selection procedure?
Ans: SLB came for campus placements around the end of November 2023. For the role of Geoscientists, MSc 2Yr GG, MSc 2Yr EX, Integrated 5Yr MSc GG, Integrated 5Yr MSc EX, and M.Tech Exploration Geoscience students were eligible. There were 3 rounds of selection:
Round 1: CV shortlist — Out of all those who applied, around 24–25 CVs were selected. Good grades (preferably above 9.0), PORs, internships, and projects make your CV attractive. They try to know your involvement in different arenas while being in academics. So, describe these things adequately in your CVs.
Round 2: Group Discussion — We were sent in groups of 8 and given an abstract topic (ours was — Zero). Other topics were ‘Win-win situation’ and ‘Work-life balance.’ As far as I know, SLB always gives out some innovative and abstract topics like ‘South,’ ’70 hours a work week’, ‘OTT vs. theatres,’ ‘Silence’, ‘Morning bird or a night owl,’ etc. — for the GD rounds and try to analyze your thought process. So, try to be inclusive and supportive of your other fellow groupmates.
Round 3: Personal Interview — Mostly CV grilling, technical and reflective HR questions. SLB takes extended interviews, so be prepared for at least 50–65 mins of grind. In my case, I was first asked to introduce myself, and then they started asking geology-related questions for 20–25 mins. After that, I was asked about the PORs and some of my situation handling and management-related incidents. Then came the HR round. They’ll give situations about how you’ll manage your work and personal life, followed by other questions.
Things to remember: Be thorough with every word of your CV.
This time, it was entirely an online process, but SLB generally comes to the institute for the placement drive. So, prepare with this keeping in mind.
Ans: I’d like to answer this in points, sequentially:
You are good to go with the technical round if you are attentive in your regular classes. The main foundations of any interview are the basics and self-confidence, so be confident.
Ans: I can’t answer this well as I have yet to join. But as far as I know, the work culture is demanding and exciting. You’ll get to learn many new things in a very short period. Training schools and traveling to new places are inherent to the job profile. There is no fixed number of hours of work as such. SLB is a multi-national company, and it gives you great exposure to take out your full potential.
Cherishing every moment in the company and setting a learning mindset could be the only way to balance life with work.
Ans: One must focus primarily on their curriculum for roles like these. Too many ECA and PORs are optional, but if you have them, it’s a bonus. So, first, sort out your priorities and start working on your weak portions as early as possible. Cut down your activities from early October and focus on strengthening your basics. Managing 8 am-6 pm classes, practicals, and masters-dissertation is a massive task, so give yourself time and plan accordingly.
I was very much involved in departmental and institutional work, such as arranging various programs and participating in lectures and workshops. However, during the placement season, I delegated the work and responsibilities, which gave me some free time to focus on my preparation.
During this hectic period, please also prioritize your mental health. Hang out with your friends and discuss your problems, if needed. Don’t take too much load.
Ans: All geoscientist people who are willing to accept challenges and learn new things must consider applying for this role. You’ll get the opportunity to contribute what you’ve learned for 4–5 years directly in getting practical results.
Ans: Enjoy the process; give it your best shot, and there will be no regrets. This will be your first step into professional life, so enjoy every moment and make it count. Don’t get stressed out; keep yourself busy and happy. There will be a lot of peer pressure during this time, so try to avoid that. List your strengths and weaknesses for each subject, then focus on improving where you struggle. If something feels too difficult to grasp, shift your focus to your strengths and stay positive. Keep yourself stress-free by doing what you enjoy, like watching movies or listening to music. Don’t worry about placement outcomes; just give 100 percent of your effort. Best of luck!
For any specific problem related to geology or something else, you can always contact me on any social networking site. I would be more than happy to help you.
Ans: Just be loyal to whatever you are mentioning in your CV. Be yourself and constantly try to learn from your failures. Discuss your weaknesses and get away with them as soon as possible.
Help others and be generous. All the best, guys!

1. Brief Introduction and description of your offered role.
A) I am Vishal Ravipati, a 2024 B.Tech graduate from the department of Computer Science and Engineering. I was offered the role of Software Developer in Squarepoint Capital in the 2023 placement season.
2. How did you get into your company? What was the selection procedure?
A) The selection procedure consisted of 2 stages.
The written test consisted of 2 C++ coding questions and some MCQs relating mainly to C++. The coding questions weren’t typical CP/DSA questions. They were implementation based, which involved fairly tricky parsing and correct handling of several edge cases. The interview consisted of 3 rounds, each lasting about 40–45 minutes. The first 2 rounds were technical interviews and the third was an HR round. Again these were somewhat different from the standard SDE interviews with the focus being primarily on theoretical knowledge of various CS topics.
The first round involved lengthy discussion on various concepts in operating systems, computer networks, object oriented programming and C++ concepts. There was also a pretty simple coding question to implement a string reversal in C, where the focus was not just solving it but writing clean, safe code.
The second round involved questions on standard Git and Linux commands, many more questions about C++ concepts, and a couple of coding questions. The first one was a straightforward DSA question involving a simple greedy algorithm, and the second one was an implementation based question that involved the knowledge of the accumulate function in STL and writing code for operator overloading in C++.
The third round was an HR round with the technology head of Squarepoint’s Bangalore office, which involved a couple of practical design based questions on memory management and locks, and a number of generic HR questions designed to know more about the individual. I received the offer immediately after the HR round.
A) As mentioned above, the Squarepoint selection process was pretty unconventional, with much less focus on CP/DSA and much more focus on implementation skills, very strong knowledge in CS topics, and familiarity with Git and Linux (basically, knowledge that is lot more relevant to the actual work that is done in the company). The questions themselves required a good grasp on both the knowledge and application of the CS concepts.
For C++ and OOPS, I highly, highly recommend learncpp.com. All the concepts, be it basic or advanced, are explained very clearly. I have seen several questions come directly from points mentioned here during the entire placement season. Keep going through the website over and over until it sticks firmly to your mind.
For OS and Networks, any standard course (MIT OCW/Stanford/KGP) will be fine. The focus for these topics should be on understanding and remembering the fundamentals very well, not gaining obscure knowledge.
Standard Git and Linux commands can easily be looked up online.
https://github.com/progit/progit2/releases/download/2.1.430/progit.pdf is an official book containing very detailed and clear information about Git. It is a very useful read although only the initial few chapters are relevant.
While DSA/CP weren’t directly used here, they will obviously be needed for other tests or even to improve one’s implementation abilities. I used the CSES problem set, Leetcode and cp-algorithms.com for preparation along with contests on Leetcode and Atcoder. Practice as much as possible for DP and Trees.
I faced a number of challenges during the entire placement season.
● I was completely out of touch with DSA for a year, as I was extremely sure of getting a PPO through my intern (in hindsight, no idea why I was so sure). I didn’t seriously start preparation till late August and lost a lot of precious time in just losing all the rust. The fact that I am a 4 year also meant I didn’t seriously prepare CS topics other than OOPs during the intern season, leaving a lot to be done in little time. Don’t trust too much on a PPO offer, especially from an HFT.
● The recession meant that hiring for companies during my season was significantly worse than previous years. The low hiring meant that many students had to give several interviews to even get an offer, let alone their desired offer (which they would have got easily any other year). I myself had given interviews from 2pm — 10:30 pm almost continuously and was seriously worried that despite several shortlists, I might not end up with any offer. (PS: this was a deja vu for me from the intern season. Don’t trust too much on getting hired by an HFT).
● I had also prepared heavily for a quant role in HFTs, and it turned out their hiring in KGP in 2023 was a grand total of 0. Don’t trust too much on a HFT in general. ● There was also the general feeling of jealousy seeing people with PPOs enjoying their final year while you are stuck with a hard Leetcode problem.
A) The work culture in Squarepoint has been excellent. The people are very helpful and friendly, the work given to me was carefully planned to let me get to know their frameworks in a step-by-step manner without being overwhelming at any point of time. The work-life balance is excellent too, with flexible timings as long as work is being done (a godsend for night owls). I rarely have to stay in the office for more than 8 hours. My favourite aspect is the lack of micro-management that Indian companies seem to be obsessed with.
A) Well, I had earned the (fully justified) anger of my BTP advisor by barely working on my project and ended up with a C in BTP, so I won’t say I perfectly managed it. I suppose the focus should be to optimize, to pick chill courses and sacrifice grades if a course requires too much effort. I
skipped classes where attendance wasn’t absolutely necessary. I did end up with a good SG in 7th sem because I ended up picking a good set of courses, with good grading even with poor attendance and sub-par effort. I would say more than 50% of the work can be done in the summer before the semester by picking the right courses.
A) While most SDE companies are achievable by people of any department, this will be significantly more difficult for Squarepoint due to their focus on CS topics.Those without a strong theoretical and practical CS foundation will find it very difficult to progress through Squarepoint’s selection process. Ideally speaking, you should have had some experience working with CS projects involving Git/Github and on Linux systems.
A) I feel the main reason for why the placement season ends up being so stressful for students is because of the feeling that they must get a good offer or else their friends / parents will be disappointed or that their future is going to be ruined or something. The fact is that we are all inexperienced, barely 20 year olds with most of our life still in front of us. I kept in mind that even if things go horribly wrong and I end up with an offer not up to my expectations or no offer at all, it is not really a big deal. There are so many options ahead — off-campus, higher studies, or just slogging in a job and moving up the ranks. The talent and the efforts put in will not go to waste, regardless of whether the results are seen immediately or a few years later. Having this mentality can take off so much pressure and let you give tests and interviews with a clear, composed mind which is as important as the preparation in the first place.
A) Resume at time of placement attached in form.
Honestly for a software role, CV is not too big of a deal. Do mention all achievements possible, and try to include as many CS-related projects as you can. Of course, be very thorough with every single point in your CV. It is much, much, much better to not include a project than including it and then being unable to explain it in the interview. And having a horrific picture did not affect my placement season, so there’s that :).

Hello, I am Arpan Deb, a Dual Degree student in the Department of Electrical Engineering, at IIT Kharagpur. My specialization is in Instrumentation and Integrated Electronics. I got an offer for the role of Analog Engineer at Texas Instruments India through the CDC Placements last year (2023).
2) How did you get into Texas Instruments? What was the selection procedure?
First, there was an online assessment. Last year I organized the OA in 3 profiles: Analog, Digital, and Embedded Software. A student can appear for only 1 profile or a maximum of 2 profiles. Since I prepared for core profiles, I opted for Analog and Digital profiles. The OA had an aptitude part followed by the technical parts. The aptitude section is common for all, irrespective of the profile you would appear in. It had 14–15 questions with a specified time limit. The questions were mostly based on everyday arithmetic like time and work, speed and time, linear equations, etc., including permutations and combinations, probability, and basic number theory.
If you solve 11–12 questions correctly, it is enough to clear the aptitude section cut-off. And since there is negative marking, accuracy is very important. For solving the aptitude section, I generally follow a simple rule: Divide the total time limit given by the total number of questions and get an average time limit for each question, say it is 1.5 minutes. If after reading the question, I feel like I can solve it, I try to solve it within 1.5 to 1.7 minutes, not more than that. For questions that I don’t feel confident enough to solve, I try it for 1.3–1.5 minutes and then skip to the next question. This requires good practice so that by seeing a question you can figure out whether you can solve it or not. This approach helped me to complete the questions within the time limit given without wasting too much time on a single question. After going through all the questions if you still have time left, then you can retry the unanswered questions. For practicing aptitude questions, you can practice from GFG and also the previous year’s OA question papers of companies.
The technical round consisted of 2 sections: Analog and Digital, with a specified time limit for each section. For the analog section, questions were asked from basic analog concepts, like RC circuits, amplifiers (both CMOS and BJT), AC and DC power, poles and zeros, current mirrors, feedback, circuit analysis, frequency response, transient response, bode plots, basic signals, and systems, opamps as a black box, comparators, oscillator circuits, etc. Most of the questions were from easy to medium level (if your analog basics are clear) and required fast problem identification and solving skills. In the digital profile, questions were from Boolean algebra, K-map, MUX-DEMUX, latches, counters, Finite State Machines, static timing analysis, memory organization, cache, various types of memory mapping, basics of computer architecture, and Verilog.
As a word of advice, I would recommend the students appearing for Ti score as much as possible in the technical sections of the OA. From previous year’s interview patterns and also from my seniors’ experiences, there may be a slight preference in interviews based on your test scores and CGPA (remember it’s just an observation and may not be the case). So, try to prepare very well for the OA and focus on the concepts.
Based on my test scores I was shortlisted for interviews in both Analog and Digital profiles. My first interview was in an analog profile. The interviewer first asked me to solve several problems from first-order and second-order RC circuits, poles and zeros, current mirroring, sampling capacitance calculation for a SAR ADC, benefits of gray encoding in Flash ADCs, etc. The interviewer will want you to solve the RC circuits questions without writing the actual differential equations. You have to draw the bode plots, transient response, and initial and final states of the circuit variables from intuitive analysis. This went on for about 20–30 minutes. For the next 30–40 mins, questions were asked from my resume. Most of my projects were based on ADCs, so he asked questions from them. He delved deep into the projects and asked about every intricate detail and how I designed each component. He asked about power consumption, comparator design topology, and the ADC algorithm. He also asked me to explain the redundancy algorithm in a paper. So overall, you have to be extremely well-versed in your CV and don’t include projects that you are not confident about. Based on my interview, I was offered the role of Analog Engineer within 15–20 minutes just before my Digital profile interview.
For an analog profile, it’s very important to keep the concepts clear and the basics strong. If you are an EE or ECE student, most probably you will be introduced to Analog Circuits in your second year of college. For initial concept building, Neaman Microelectronics and Razavi Microelectronics books are really good. I would say they are almost enough to clear the OA. Ti always focuses deeply on solving RC circuit questions and they give tricky problems. For preparing RC circuit questions there are two good YouTube playlists: one by Chembiyan T and the other by IIT Kanpur SSCD. For some advanced analog concepts that may be asked in your interview (if they are related to your projects), the Design of CMOS Analog Integrated Circuits by Razavi is a good resource. Coming to CV building, it’s preferred to keep analog and core projects in your CV. I would say students preparing for core EE, mainly in power electronics also have a good chance of getting selected for the analog role, so you can also keep power electronics-related projects in your CV for analog profile.
I would say as a dual degree student managing academics with placement preparation was a bit tough. To keep a good CGPA, sometimes you have to study some courses that may not be directly helpful for your placements. Initially, in my second year, I struggled with solving RC circuits intuitively. My first approach would be to think mathematically, but in analog, you have to use intuition to understand circuits. I would say Razavi’s books, Prof. Ali Hajimiri lectures, and Prof. Prajit Nandi’s ASP course helped me to develop my intuitive skills. Moreover, if you are targeting core profiles, you should give importance to your BTP and MTP and choose the project topics carefully. A relevant and good project will enhance your skills significantly as you will have to dive deep into the topic and study advanced papers. In my case, my BTP and MTP were mainly related to data converter design which helped me to study and gain extra insights into that topic. Overall for analog developing intuitive skills to analyze circuits is most crucial.
I would say overall, Ti has a supportive and good work culture. Based on the vacancies, you can be assigned one out of the test, validation, or design teams. The first month was mainly a training period where SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) came and taught us various analog concepts. If you are a Dual Degree or an M.Tech Student, most of the topics in the training session will be known to you, for B.Tech students, some topics may be new. Nevertheless, Ti organizes these training sessions so that all the new hires can be brought to the same platform irrespective of their backgrounds. The seniors in my team are also very supportive and they ensured my smooth onboarding. Work-life balance is also decent, only before tape-outs you will have a bit more work pressure.
In my opinion, the phrase “study everything the night before the exams” is not something that I believe in. Because I feel that discipline is the most important factor in achieving success, I have always had a set routine, regardless of how monotonous it may seem. I had a set time window of two hours every day for my study, regardless of the situations that were going on outside of me. In my opinion, it is not difficult for anyone to devote two hours of their day to studying, regardless of what they are doing in college. I used to return to my hall at five o’clock in the evening after my classes or labs, eat my snacks, and then take a nap that lasted between thirty and forty minutes till six thirty o’clock. After that, I would study and practice problems till 8:30 at night. Immediately following that, I would have my meal. After supper, I would engage in a variety of activities. These activities included watching movies, playing cricket, wandering around in 2.2, or simply hanging out with friends. I believe that anyone can readily engage in his/her extracurricular activities and also manage two hours for simultaneous study.
Anyone interested in core electronics/semiconductors, and IC design with a passion for solving real-life problems can target for this job. As Ti is one of the global market leaders in analog and digital IC production, you will get global exposure and immense opportunities to enhance your skills and become a pioneer in the field.
CDC is not the end of the world and neither are placements. Just keep in mind that even if you have prepared fully, things can go wrong in uncountable ways, regardless of how well you have planned. But those things don’t matter, what matters is whether you gave your best or not. A particular day and how you are on that day doesn’t define who you are. Hard work never goes to trash, just work hard and give your best. And “Day 1 placement, Day 2 placement ..” etc., and blah blah all are overhyped terms made to “glorify” a particular section of candidates. Don’t even bother about these things. Personally, in my journey in KGP, I faced many academic and personal setbacks, from not getting a core internship in CDC to losing my close ones. The only thing that matters is “Whether you can stand up after falling?”. Keep persevering, believe in Karma, and trust the process. That’s all.

A) My name is Ankit Anuragi, and I completed my B.Tech (Hons.) in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering with a Micro-specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Applications. During the 2023–24 placement season, I was offered the role of Data Scientist at TVS Motor. TVS Motor Company is a renowned manufacturer of two- and three-wheelers, offering innovative mobility solutions across various markets. As one of India’s leading automotive companies, TVS Motor is known for its commitment to quality, cutting-edge technology, and customer satisfaction, making significant contributions to the global transportation industry.
2) How did you get into TVS Motors? What was the selection procedure?
A) The selection process began with an online assessment that included multiple-choice questions (MCQs) on OOP concepts, aptitude, and code snippets, as well as two coding questions, which were of easy to moderate difficulty. Additionally, there was a gaming round that we could complete from our rooms. The final step was a 20-minute interview. It started with a brief introduction, and all the questions were based solely on my resume, focusing primarily on my internships and projects. There were no technical questions beyond what was listed on my resume.
A) To prepare for a Data Science profile, focus on internships, projects, Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA), and machine learning/deep learning (ML/DL) algorithms, as well as proficiency in Python and its libraries. Most online assessments will include problems related to probability, statistics, aptitude, and puzzles (commonly encountered during interviews). It’s crucial to be thoroughly familiar with your resume and to be prepared to discuss any terms or terminologies you’ve mentioned. Additionally, some tests include questions on SQL, so it’s important to be prepared for those as well, along with guesstimates. However, the most critical area is DSA, as being well-prepared in this will significantly increase your chances of selection.
The main challenge I faced was securing interview calls. This may have been due to my test performance, as I focused more on ML/DL and not enough on DSA. Therefore, I strongly recommend being thoroughly and completely prepared with DSA to avoid similar difficulties.
A) The work culture at TVS Motor is exceptional. The company places a strong emphasis on employee development, offering comprehensive training before deployment to ensure that you’re well-prepared for your role. For instance, I am currently undergoing Full Stack Developer training, which is both challenging and rewarding. The collaborative atmosphere is one of the company’s key strengths — colleagues and mentors are always approachable and willing to offer guidance, creating a supportive and inclusive environment.
TVS Motor also values work-life balance, which is evident in their policies. The company offers a flexible work-from-home option and ensures that employees can take advantage of earned leaves without any hassles. Additionally, the company fosters a culture of mutual respect and well-being, with various employee engagement activities, wellness programs, and opportunities for personal growth. This balanced approach ensures that while employees are productive and focused at work, they also have ample time and energy for their personal lives.
A) To effectively manage time between academics and preparing for the CDC, I found that starting my exam preparation about a week before the semester exams was sufficient. It’s crucial to perform well in mid-semester exams because you might not have much time during the end semester due to placement preparations. Prioritizing mid-terms can give you a safety net and reduce stress later.
Peer learning played a significant role in my preparation. Collaborating with hallmates allowed me to cover a broader range of topics, especially in areas where I wasn’t as strong. Learning from peers not only helped fill in knowledge gaps but also provided different perspectives and problem-solving approaches, which were invaluable during placement tests.
Additionally, balancing academics, placements, and extracurriculars required strong support from friends and family. Their encouragement helped me stay focused and motivated during the most hectic and challenging times. Surrounding yourself with a supportive network is essential to manage the pressure effectively.
A) This role is ideal for anyone passionate about working in the data science and software domains. If you’re looking to develop a strong technical foundation and seek opportunities for continuous learning, TVS Motor offers an excellent environment for growth. The company is committed to nurturing talent and providing a platform for both professional and personal development. Therefore, if you’re aiming for substantial career growth in the technical field, with a focus on data science or software engineering, this position would be a great fit.
A) The key to handling stressful situations is to remain patient and persistent. It’s important not to get discouraged if you don’t receive an offer on Day 1, Day 2, or even later. Understand that the placement process is a marathon, not a sprint. Keep focusing on your preparation and use each day as an opportunity to improve. Reflect on any feedback you receive, identify areas for growth, and continuously work on them.
A) One of my seniors advised me to follow this for writing projects and internships in my resume:
Title: Ensure it’s self-explanatory.
Line 1: Describe the project and, if space permits, specify the type of data used and clearly explain the objective.
Line 2: Outline the data preprocessing techniques and model tuning methods employed.
Line 3: Mention the models used, and their performance, and optionally, discuss model tuning methods here as well.
Line 4–5: Present the results with numerical details, using metrics like precision, recall, etc., rather than just basic metrics like accuracy.
Domain Diversity: Include projects from different domains, such as Generative AI, and LLMs (a trending topic), with at least one project in computer vision and another in NLP.

1. Brief Introduction description of offered role:
Hello! I am Tarun Goyal, a 5th-year undergraduate student from the Department of Chemical Engineering enrolled in its dual degree course. I got a summer internship at DRL on day 3.
The role offered was Core (Technical Training at Manufacturing and R&D sites) — This role was open to Chemical and Mechanical Engineering students. I have got the manufacturing role at Pydibhimavaram(Vizag)
· First and foremost, there is a round of CV shortlisting. You have to submit your CV through the ERP.
They did not specify CG criteria, although most people with CG over 7 get shortlisted for the subsequent round.
· Online test (duration — 1hr) — The test mainly had questions based on core Chemical Engineering (easy + average level questions), psychometric and reasoning-based questions, and a few basic questions from chemistry (biomolecule & polymers). 70 students qualified for the GD round (core profile).
· Group Discussion round — The GD round was the primary elimination round. It was technical. Every group (10 students) was given a different topic to discuss. The GD problem was about fluidized bed reactors. 30 students (+2 got extended shortlist later) qualified for the interview round (core profile).
· Interview — There were two interviews for approximately 35–40 minutes of technical + 5–10 minutes of HR interview. The interviewer asked the first question, “Do you have an interest in pharma, and do you want to go for the core?” then I was asked to introduce myself. I was asked situation-based questions on actual problems in pharma, and I needed to answer them using very basic chemical engineering concepts. Even someone who passed every semester can answer those questions. Most of my interview questions revolved around the humidity. Some questions that were asked -
1) “How will you make a tablet from a powder?”
2) “If you have to coat a powder on a tablet, how will you do that?”
3) “You want to protect your capsule from a humid environment. How will you ensure that?”
4) “You have a powder in an open environment. What will affect it’s flowability?”
5) “If you are using an air dryer in a process and the environmental conditions are not the same every day, how will you take care of the humidity of the air?”
and many more questions. My interview was a bit longer than others, and he was very impressed with my way of answering. He didn’t want the exact terms but how you think and approach the problem.
And according to your answer, he will drive the interview in that direction. He was very supportive and patient to hear you and shared many things during the interview. He helped me figure out the correct approach for answers to some questions. The very last question was about dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperature.
Then the HR round was there, which was online. She just asked me to introduce myself, then I told her about leading the team of ‘chem-quest’, so she just asked what that contest’s problem statement was.
Then she asked me about my family and if I was a B-tech to dual conversion or dual from the start. What other options do I have during the Jossa counseling? Then she asked me about my preference for location wise and role wise. She hinted at the end, “See you soon at work.” we hung up the call.
Both the interviewers were peaceful, jolly, calm, and mature people who tried to understand the other person.
Finally, 7 students were selected for the core profile (from CH duals), 1 student (from B-tech CH), others from the Mechanical department (I guess 3–4)
A) For the test round, solving 11th-12th chemistry questions (biomolecule, polymer, and chemistry in everyday life) and aptitude questions will be good enough to get through it.
For the GD round, knowledge of unit operations and other basic concepts was required. This round is one of the biggest hurdles in the entire selection procedure, as more than 50% of students are eliminated at this round. But, thinking about the problem statement in terms of whatever basic concepts you have studied can be helpful.
For the interview, They don’t ask about your CV. One should be clear with the basic concepts of chemical engineering and their application in real-life problems.
I started preparing a day before the online test. I think if a person is regular with classes, he/she doesn’t need any further time to study. Just need to practice some basic rules of GD and give mock interviews & GD. So the ideal time for anyone targeting a core role in chemical engineering can even be a day before the online test or the day before GD.
5. What difficulties did you face while preparing for this Profile? How did you overcome this problem?
I never prepared anything for the profile as such in 3rd year, I started studying core, but still, my basics weren’t clear. However, I knew things to some extent. Like it wasn’t Greek to me. Throughout the process, I tried to use the concepts of chemical engineering from the 5th — 7th semester.
It’s open only for 2 departments; moreover, if you are from chemical, you competition is very low here, CGPA — no criteria No other criteria other than you are interested in core or pharma. I don’t think they are looking for past interns/pors or EAAs they don’t even look at CVs after CV shortlisting
Anyone who is interested in core and wants to understand or evaluate the practical implications of their core domain knowledge or wants to know how the pharma industry works can apply for this profile. Aside from that, I feel that everyone with even a slight amount of curiosity should apply because the experience would be unique, and you could get motivated after working there.
8. Any specific advice you want to give the junta, sitting for internships this year.
Tips for CV-
Make a separate CV for separate roles. I have seen people making one CV and applying in every role like you cannot apply with a data science CV in a core profile. Give time to prepare the CV for independent roles.
Tips for Test-
NCERT — biomolecules polymers and chemistry in everyday life practice logical and reasoning questions. Time is the key try to finish as early as possible
Tips for GD-
If you know about the topic, do start the discussion but don’t discuss everything in one go, or don’t jump to later points. In GD, they give you 4 questions to discuss, and you have 5 minutes. If you start, discuss your views on 1st point, then keep quiet and let others speak. When discussing the 2nd point, only talk about the 2nd point; don’t discuss any other point. 3–4 points in total would be sufficient. At last, you can talk about any point you would like to add. Stay attentive, or at least show yourself attentive.
Things to avoid during GD-
don’t start if you have no idea on the 1st question. Let others speak, and you catch up with your understanding
don’t speak irrelevant talk quality, not quantity
don’t just start and end at last, giving no chance to others to speak. This is teamwork, not a boring lecture,
don’t repeat points,
don’t cut others in between,
don’t get aggressive or dominant,
don’t jump over other points. Go step by step. The questions are given for a reason.
Tips for Interview-
Have faith and confidence in you.
If you have no idea, say, “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember.”
When the interviewer tells you about something, try to hear it clearly and understand it. If unclear, repeat his words by saying, “Just to be sure…” or ask the interviewer what you haven’t understood. This gives the sense you are trying to learn. Try to use this not more than twice but at least once.
Ask your friends what questions were asked so that you are mentally prepared for such questions and you don’t go blank suddenly.
General Tips — (what helped my profile to go up)
1) Everyone is in a white shirt and black pants — try to have different color formals. Some will say how that matters, so everything matters. No one wants to see the same thing again & again. I was very well identified by my dress color. I was able to stand out in the crowd of black & white.
2) have a smile on your face when interacting with the interviewer like I got it naturally. Everyone wants to see happy faces
3) Listen carefully — during the GD, the evaluating person gave his intro (I don’t remember his name). Still, I was showing so much attentiveness towards him that he started his intro while looking at everyone, but at a certain point, he only had eye contact with me. (this was the golden thing for my GD selection).
4) Everyone says the CDC is just fake people with less knowledge get better opportunities, but remember, it’s not just about knowledge. It’s about how you present, how you show yourself. Presentation and standing out of the crowd ease your path to a large extent. Give time for proper outfit and appearance.
5) Look professional. Don’t take a page of CV and a copy with a loose tie, and un-buttoned collar button that looks so unprofessional. Have proper attire. The CV should be in a file with other supporting documents and have a professional diary while entering the room. Tie the collar button properly along with a proper tie. If you are unwilling to button the collar button, don’t wear a tie. Have proper perfume before going for the interview. Have a trimmed or properly shaped beard.
6) As you meet the interviewer, greet them with a smile. Everyone loves that.
7) Be confident about what you say. DRL interviews are one of the most peaceful interviews you gonna ever have.
9. What are some of the major points that would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
They hardly see the CV or ask anything from the CV. At least in our case, they weren’t grilling anyone on the CV. but having a proper specific Core CV for this would be beneficial to mention the competitions in which you participated or led the team.
Mention your past internships or industrial training, mention core projects and manufacturing-related projects or internships and try to relate the concepts learned in the past internships and projects to the interviewer’s questions by saying, “Like if I take the case from my past internship …” I used this when he asked me about something related to manufacturing.
BEST OF LUCK!!!

Hello, I’m Bhuvan Rangoju, a 4th-year Integrated MSc student from the Department of Mathematics. I’ve been offered a software internship at Databricks. In this blog, I’ll share my journey in preparing for this role, my mistakes, and a few personal tips.
2) How did you get into Databricks? What was the selection procedure?
Getting into Databricks is not different from how you’d get into a typical software company. At first, we had an online assessment (90 minutes) consisting of 4 questions selected from a pool of 10–15 straightforward questions; order n3 and n4 solutions were also accepted. The company shortlisted only circuital (and MnC) students who completed all four questions with an early submission. Unfortunately, I got stuck on one of the questions, which took most of my time, so I didn’t make it into the initial shortlist. But it was decent enough to get a shortlist on the extended list.
There were three interview (online) rounds(coding + coding + HR). The order of rounds varied among different candidates.
My first coding round consisted of a single question, which I found quite challenging. The problem was to print a path from the start node to the end node in a Fibonacci tree(I still don’t know what it is). I had to ask numerous questions to clarify the problem and begin coding. The interviewer was very friendly and supportive, which helped me stay calm. I asked a bunch of questions and communicated with the interviewer all the time, and within 45 minutes or so, I was able to finish the code, with which the interviewer seemed satisfied. Fortunately, my coding style — modularized functions, appropriate variable names, and clarifying comments helped me barely pass this round.
The second round was fairly easy compared to the previous round. I was asked two easy questions. The first one is a straightforward recursion with memoized DP. The second one was related to the Sliding window. Initially, I gave an O(nlogn) solution, but the interviewer was expecting a linear time complexity, which I was able to get at the very end of the interview using a deque with the help of a few hints.
The third round consisted of the typical resume grilling followed by an HR interview conducted by the Director of the Engineering team. He delved into every detail of my resume, from past internships to projects to PORs. Therefore, it’s crucial to thoroughly review your resume before any interview, as you wouldn’t want to miss an opportunity that could have been secured with just 1–2 hours of preparation.
3) How did you prepare for them?
In my second year, I decided to target Software/ML roles for my CDC internship drive. Assuming you now understand the importance of CP, I won’t emphasize this fact and will dive right into my preparation. Like any other beginner with coding, I was confused and overwhelmed by the abundance of resources available on the internet. After consulting some of my seniors, I started practicing on Codeforces & CSES in my 3rd semester. After a few months of consistent efforts, I reached a specialist rating. Unsatisfied with the fact that I struggled to reach an Expert rating, I felt a bit demotivated and discontinued CP for a while. But I continued giving contests now and then and up-solving questions, hoping to increase my rating. The summer of 2022 (just after the 4th sem) is when I became more serious and disciplined and focused more on learning new and difficult concepts that would help me in the long run. I felt pretty confident that I could clear most OAs even though I was just a specialist. It was during the winter break(December 2022) that I got into the dark blue zone, and I finally felt that my efforts had paid off. And just like that, I left CP, and since then, I haven’t given more than a handful of contests and have practiced solving questions.
Being a non-CS guy, I had to teach myself OOPs(object-oriented programming). An NPTEL course by Partha Pratim Das (PPD) and practicing a handful of questions were enough to clear most OOP rounds. During my Mitacs internship in the summer of 2023(just before the internship drive), I did Interviewbit and Leetcode, which seemed easy given the knowledge and level of preparation I had by doing CP. As I said in the beginning, I also aimed for ML roles in companies like (Adobe, Amex, etc.) for which I read online blogs on ML algos and a playlist by Patrick Loeber on YouTube, which taught writing ML algos from scratch, which I genuinely enjoyed. I also did a bit of Probability & Statistics and puzzles from the standard books like Heard on the Street, 50 Challenging Problems in Probability, and BrainStellar, just in case I get shortlisted for quant roles, which I honestly had no hopes, given my CG (8.9), and CF rating(1695).
One of the most common hurdles a beginner faces is not getting their basics cleared and directly moving on to intermediate concepts. I recommend revising the PDS course and practicing implementation-based questions on Hackerrank and CF Div 2 (A, B) & Div 3 (A, B, C, D) questions to get a grip on writing code. Learn STL in C++, which saves a lot of time when solving complicated and multi-concept questions from a resource of your choice.
I never learned anything in a structured way and used to solve questions randomly based on tags on CF. Just before my OAs started, I spent some time on the USACO guide, which has everything organized and questions topic-wise sorted by difficulty. You can check that out. I also recommend taking up the Algozenith course by Vivek Gupta; the quality of questions and video lectures are to the point (worth every penny), which I had gotten to know just before my CDC interviews, so I couldn’t complete it.
Most of you must not have had any experience with OOP, so you can refer to any online course in the NPTEL / YouTube playlist to learn the basics. An in-depth understanding is required in software roles in quant companies for which people recommend learning from online websites like learncpp.com.
I haven’t focused much on fundamental computer science topics like Operating Systems, Computer Networks, and Databases. However, these are essential for quant roles. I recommend discussing with your peers or seniors in computer science for guidance.
Databricks shortlists only circuital(CS, EC, EE) and MnC students with a CG of 9+. PORs and EAAs hardly play any role in the shortlisting process (except consulting roles). It only adds a point to discuss in the HR round and shows that you have worked with people or in a team (Kshtij Tech team in my case) before, which reflects the cooperative nature of the candidate.
Anyone interested in coding, solving algorithmic problems, designing applications, or just curious about working in the tech industry should apply.
You can find my CV below. Some points to keep in mind specific to software/quant roles: 1) Maintain a decent CG (9+).
2) Do CP as much as possible, and try your best to reach Candidate Master.
3) Mention your rating on various coding platforms like CF, CC, Leetcode, and Kickstart, Hackercup ranks (if they are good enough)
4) Prior internship(s) is/are not a must, but have at least a couple of projects.
5) Be thorough with every word in your CV and get it reviewed by seniors before finalizing it.
9) Lastly, what advice would you like to give the students aiming to grab CDC internships this year?
Take your preparation seriously. A couple of months of dedicated and planned preparation can have a significant impact on your result. Have a couple of friends who are there for you to compare and discuss stuff and to relax yourself from the stress and pressure you’d be carrying during the CDC phase. Be consistent and enjoy the journey. Don’t lose hope if you don’t get a Day 1 company; I didn’t. Just remember hard work and honesty always pays off, if not now, soon enough.
Lastly, I would like to thank my parents and my nagging sister for bringing the best out of me; my friend Lakshman Kattunga for challenging me (and helping me out in a few contests :) and Roopak Priyadarshi who boasted me now and then, and simplifying Div2 Ds for people like me to understand.
I wish my juniors luck and all the best!

A) Hello, I am Vikranth, a final year Dual Degree student from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I am originally from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, and I am boarder of LBS Hall of Residence. I joined as a Data Scientist Intern at the AI Center of Excellence at Fidelity Investments for this summer.
A) I secured my position at Fidelity Investments through the Career Development Centre at IIT Kharagpur. The selection process included CV shortlisting, two interviews, and an HR round.
Around 80 candidates were selected for the offline interview, and approximately a quarter of them advanced to the second round. Those who performed well in the second round were then shortlisted for the HR round and subsequently received offers.
The CV shortlisting was based on keywords. If you had notable projects or previous internships in Data Science or at a financial firm, there was a high chance of getting shortlisted. Upon joining Fidelity, I discovered that they place significant weight on previous work experience. Having a prior internship can greatly increase your chances.
If you are shortlisted for Fidelity, be prepared for an intense CV grilling. Know every detail of your CV thoroughly and avoid including anything you’re unsure about.
There were a few questions where we had to use the board in the Nalanda classroom for explanations. Some candidates were asked to draw the multi-headed attention mechanism on the board. Be prepared for face-to-face grilling if you are shortlisted for Fidelity.
Round 1:
The first round was primarily CV-based. I was asked about my previous internships, followed by questions on statistical models. There were also a few SQL questions about joins and operations on dataframes in Python, session states, and execution flow in Streamlit. A unique aspect of this interview was being asked to rate myself in various fields like ML, DL, cloud infrastructure, and UI/UX out of 10 and justify my ratings, with subsequent questions focusing on areas where I rated myself higher. Since I had portfolio optimization techniques on my CV, I was asked about the math behind them.
Round 2:
The second round focused more on programming languages. I was given a couple of codes and asked to optimize them. While I don’t remember the exact details, it involved concepts related to args and kwargs in Python.There were questions on OOPs and time series analysis.
HR Round:
The HR round was more casual. I was asked why I wanted to join the company and a bit about my involvement in extracurricular activities.
A) If you are aiming for a data science profile, it’s essential to get comfortable with the math behind the models. Knowledge of linear algebra and probability will be particularly beneficial. Andrew Ng’s courses are a great starting point, and the Stack Quest YouTube channel is excellent for interview revision. For Python beginners, Tech with Tim is highly recommended. Familiarizing yourself with models from Hugging Face is advantageous, especially since LLMs and generative AI are in high demand. Participating in hackathons and presenting solutions to a panel will also significantly enhance your skills and experience.
A) Since my second year, I’ve been aiming for data science roles. I participated in a few hackathons and completed some courses on Coursera. I’ve noticed that many people switch profiles in between intern season , I would suggest exploring different fields until the 3rd semester if you’re in a B.Tech program, or until the 5th semester if you’re pursuing a dual degree. Choose a couple of profiles and start preparing for them. The ideal preparation time varies for each person, but in my opinion, dedicating the summer before your intern season solely to preparation is a good strategy.
A) I accepted an offer from a startup during the summer before the internship season because I wanted to visit a new city. It was challenging to manage my time between work and preparation, and as a result, I wasn’t able to clear many online assessment rounds. If you’re serious about securing an internship on campus, I would suggest focusing on preparing DSA and aptitude, as many companies, even those hiring for data science roles, include DSA questions in their assessments. This advice doesn’t apply to Fidelity, but for most other companies, DSA preparation is crucial.
A) There were no CGPA or department criteria, but the company was only open to dual degree students. PORs and EAAs did not have much impact on the selection process.
A) Anyone with a knack for data science and an interest in finance, who also wants to experience the culture of working in an MNC, should apply for this job.
A) Every resume is unique; some feature many internships, while others have high CGPA. It’s important to balance both, but doing a couple of ML/DL projects will particularly help with CV shortlisting for Fidelity. Be sure to highlight metrics and mention outputs quantitatively. If you are aiming for data roles,PORs and extracurricular activities EAAs don’t matter much, but they can portray you as a team player.
A word of caution: do not include anything in your CV that you cannot justify later. As a financial institution, Fidelity thoroughly vets your background before onboarding. Any discrepancies in your internships or projects can be a major red flag.
A) Get your CV checked by some seniors. Don’t waste your summer before intern season; instead, focus on preparation. Do a couple of mock interviews to practice. Seek support from friends to help deal with rejections. Hold your nerves if you’re not getting shortlisted, considering the tough job market this year. Remember, many factors contribute to selection, and sometimes luck may not be on your side, even if you’ve done your best.
In conclusion, as the quote from Ozark goes, “People make choices, and choices have consequences,” so choose your actions wisely.
All the best!!

A) I am Rishi Raj. I am a fourth-year undergraduate student in the Department of
Computer Science and Engineering. I am a boarder of Azad Hall of Residence. I am
currently a SWE intern at Google.
P.S. I had only prepared for the software role, and this doc is only about that. So, if
If you are looking for other roles, you should probably skip this.
A) I got the offer through the CDC. Google had an OA round followed by two rounds of
technical interviews. Unlike other companies, Google didn’t have an HR/behavioral
round. OA consisted of two questions to be solved in 60 minutes. The questions were
sampled from a pool of questions, so everyone got different questions. Most of the
questions were based on DP and graph/tree. One of the questions was about the
CF 1600–1700 range, and another around the 1800–1900 range.
Each OA round was 45 minutes, consisting of 2–3 DSA questions (Leetcode Medium
or CF 1500). They also focus on coding styles like proper names of variables,
breaking code into functions, and all.
A) For the software role, I believe these are the things one needs to have a good hold
on (in no particular order)
● Competitive programming: Must for clearing OAs. I recommend participating
in at least Codeforces DIV3/4 rounds and the Atcoder beginner contest. They
contain standard topics like DP/Graph, etc., which are helpful for OAs.
Solving the GOC CDC series is a must; some of the questions from here
were repeated in OAs.
● Interview-specific DSA: Although doing CP helps a lot in an interview, some
topics like linked lists, binary trees, queues, and stacks that aren’t too frequent
in contests need special attention. To do this, you can complete the
Interview bit or Leetcode. Both are good resources, but Leetcode contains
many questions; for that, you can use any sheet present on the internet.
● OOPs: I followed this course PPD’s OOPS. Warning: This is a lengthy course,
so if you want something quick, follow GFG or some other site course.
learncpp is a good resource, too, if you prefer texts over videos.
One more helpful resource for revision is the PPD lecture notes compiled by
Likhith and Shivansh: OOP’s notes notes ( This was honestly a lifesaver, so kudos
�� to authors for this)
● CS Fundamentals (Not very relevant for Btech peeps): I had all the required
courses (DBMS, OS, Networks) in my sixth semester. For CDC, I just
skimmed through course slides. You can find it on the course website; just
Google it.
● Interview preparation: I just skimmed through the standard HR question
compiled by Algozenith and a few other sources. Also, keep in mind that you
should prepare for resume-specific questions.
A) I did most of my preparations in the summer before the CDC. But I had done some
CP in my second-year summer as well. I advise starting as early as possible but
don’t stress only on the CDC too much in the beginning. Explore your field of interest,
do projects/internships, etc. This will boost your resume, and even if you don’t get an
offer from the CDC, you will have a higher chance of securing an off-campus offer. I
will suggest to devote most of your time in the summer before CDC for preparation.
How did you overcome them?
A) Personally, managing time was the biggest issue for me. I was doing a GSOC project
in parallel during the summer, which made it more difficult (No regrets tbh, It was an
escape from my daily routine of DSA. It was also a cherry on top of my resume,
which probably helped me in the Google shortlist). To overcome this, I started
prioritizing things. I focused more on the topics frequently asked in OAs/interviews. I
also devoted less time to CS fundamentals as I had studied them thoroughly in the
sixth semester.
A) For software roles, there is an obvious bias for circuital departments. But a lot of
companies are open to others, too. Having a good CGPA helps in the interview
shortlist. However, the eligibility CGPA mentioned in ERP is 6.5+ for most, 7+ for
some, and 8+ for a few companies (only a handful of companies like Quadeye and
Morgan Stanley quant had 9+ requirements). POR/EAA has very little effect on the
shortlist of most software companies.
A) Ideally, the people who love building software and want exposure to real-world
software development. But as this is probably the biggest role in terms of offers,
anyone who isn’t specifically interested in any other roles might play a safe bet here.
A) Having projects/internships/hackathons or open-source contributions related to
development or data helps. However, these don’t play a major role for most of the
day 1 &amp; day 2 companies; the shortlist is mostly based on OA and CGPA+DEP.
A)
● Have a healthy peer group targetting the same profile. This helps a lot,
whether discussing problems, reminding one another of new company
listings, or simply sharing your load.
● Another problem I faced was related to my webcam; it stopped working in my
Nutanix OA. I was unable to submit because of that. A lot of other people
faced similar issues, too. So please be mindful that your laptop, mic, and
webcam are working perfectly.
● If you cannot solve a problem fully in OA, go for a partial solution or at least
hardcode the visible test cases if you have time left. IIRC Sprinklr shortlisted
folks with 2+ solves (the number of test cases didn’t matter)
● Prepare your resume thoroughly before interviews and take a mock round
with your friends/seniors. It helps a lot in avoiding common resume question
pitfalls.
● If you get an interview call from a company, contact people who secured an
intern there for what to expect and how to prepare for it.
● CDC is a randomized process, so don’t be demotivated if you face rejection.
Besides your knowledge, luck and many other factors play a role in securing
an offer. Focus on the upcoming OAs/Interviews that are under your control.
Don’t let your current rejection hamper those opportunities.

A) Hello! My name is Saheb Lohakare, and I am a fourth-year undergraduate student in the Department of Chemical, enrolled in it’s dual degree course. I come from Nagpur, Maharashtra. My primary focus is in the field of Product management and data analyst roles. I have done a few internships product management, strategy and business development roles.
I recently receive an internship offer from Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), where I am working in their Unilever International business unit. I am currently working as a Research and Development intern in their packaging Development domain at their Mumbai Head-office.
2. How did you get into HUL? What was the selection procedure?
A) Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) is a largest FMCG company in India which is a Business Unit of his parent company name Unilever. At KGP, HUL recruits generally for Supply chain, R&D role but from this year onwards HUL also started Tech profile. So this year HUL comes to IIT KGP for 4 Profiles which are R&D, Tech R&D, Tech Supply Chain, Supply Chain out of which for chemical engineering department only R&D and Tech(Supply Chain and R&D) are open. I ultimately received an offer for R&D role which I’ll elaborate here.
HUL selection process begins with the CV submission followed up with psychrometric test on google form or Microsoft form if your CV gets shortlisted.
Hirevue Test: Once you clear the psychometric test the next step in the process would be HireVue test which is a virtual interview round in which you are given 3 consecutive questions to which you will be given 1 minute of time to think about the answer and right after 1 minute the timer for 3 minutes will begin in which you have to video record your answer. Once the timer of 3 minutes gets over. The screen will display 2nd questions and similarly the 3rd one.
Final Interview: If you manage to clear the HireVue round then there will be a final round in offline or online mode in Nalanda. In our case it was online interview from Nalanda. So, the final round was more sort of mix of HR+Tech round which last for 30–45 Minutes in my case.
A) First and foremost, advice I would like to give is to go through PPT presentations of HUL or any company you are targeting. Because most of the time companies profile names are bit different from what they are actually looking for and if you didn’t attend the PPT session then you might end up submitting the wrong CV which eventually results into rejection of your CV.
Second advice is do not mention or add anything in your CV which you haven’t done because there are very high chances of interviewer might catch you and even if your interview goes very well you might be ending up losing an offer. And follow up on this you should be well versed aware of your CV, your past internship and projects you have done.
My last advice would be, always be open minded in the interview, make sure you are well aware of what's going on in that particular industry, always ready to think out of box while giving answers to the questions which you are not prepared for. Because in my case they ask many out of the box question. For example, one question was:
“If you have a superpower then what problem would you solve in the FMCG industry?”
And a day before the interview I went through the HUL website and some news article focusing on Sustainability which helped me to give answer to that particular question.
A) Getting into HUL was very uncertain and unfortunate for me because primarily I was focusing on product role and the CV which I have submitted is more incline towards product role only. It just a matter of fact that I had attended the ppt sessions and researched more about the role from where I got to know about, they selected product management candidates as well.
But from the preparation point of view, I’ll suggest whatever role you are targeting you have to be start preparing for it long before the internship and minimum have 1 internship or project in the CV which showcased that you have some practical knowledge about that particular role.
Moving back to my preparation I had started preparing for product role at the end of my 3rd year and manage to do 2 internships which helped me to improve my skills along with my knowledge.
A) HUL being one of the leading FMCG companies usually hires students particularly from the department of chemical, mechanical and few other departments as well. So one of the major problems I faced is having an in-depth knowledge of courses taught in department. So I’ll suggest in such a scenario be prepared one or two that will help you in showing your core knowledge instead of doing everything.
A) HUL being a FMCG company mainly focuses on taking students from the department of Chemical, mechanical engineering and some related departments as Industrial and industrial and systems engineering for the role of R&D and supply chain. Talking about CGPA in general FMCG companies emphasises more on CGPA, having a CGPA of 8.5+ is phenomenal but even if your CGPA 8.0+ and you have the relevant skills which company is looking for they won’t reject you.
Having a POR in your CV is a plus point to showcase your leadership and communication skills. Some companies which are in FMCG and consult sector emphasise more on that. I was the core team head(Pronite head and Design Coordinator) of Spring Fest which significantly helped me to show what I have done in that role and what are challenges I had to face and how do I overcome it. If you explain this well to the interviewer this can be a green flag for your selection.
A) The ideal candidate for the Research and Development (R&D) internship role at Hindustan Unilever Limited is someone with a deep passion for consumer products and a keen interest in understanding the intricacies of how these products meet consumer needs. This role is perfect for
individuals who are curious and innovative, eager to dive into the science and technology behind product development.
Candidates should ideally have a background in fields such as chemistry, biology, engineering, or a related discipline, providing them with the technical foundation necessary for R&D tasks. They should be analytical thinkers with strong problem-solving skills, capable of conducting thorough research and developing new ideas.
Moreover, the internship would greatly benefit those who are proactive learners and team players, as the role will likely involve collaborating with various departments to enhance product efficacy and consumer satisfaction. If you are someone who enjoys working on projects that directly impact everyday lives and are driven by the desire to improve consumer experiences through innovative product solutions, then this internship at Hindustan Unilever Limited is an excellent fit for you.
8.) Kindly attach your CV/Resume. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in your CV while targeting this profile?
A) As I previously suggest in my previous answer to the question here are the most important things to keep in mind while targeting this profile: Research Target Companies: Make a list of companies you want to target. Research each company and attend PPT sessions to understand their specific requirements and expectations.
Customise Your CV: Tailor your CV for each company, reflecting their unique needs and preferences while maintaining a consistent structure. Highlight Relevant Experience: Focus on the experiences and skills that align most closely with the R&D role you are applying for.
9.) Lastly, what advice would you like to give to the students aiming to grab CDC internships this year?
A) If all of this seems daunting, I want to reassure you that many tend to over-hype the interview process for HUL or any big companies in internships. It’s not as intimidating as it may appear. I’ve heard exaggerated tales of interviews or also experiences from some of my friends whose interviews lasted for hours, with candidates being scrutinised down
to the smallest detail on their CVs. However, my experience was quite the opposite. I found my interviews enjoyable and enlightening. And the process felt more like a constructive conversation than an interrogation.
I understand the stress you’re feeling. We’ve all been there. I went into the process with doubts, but once I got through the initial rounds, my confidence soared, and I found myself enjoying the interviews.
In conclusion, don’t let the CDC process consume you. It’s an important phase in your college life, but it doesn’t define your worth. Keep perspective and don’t put your life on hold for it. I have seen many examples here at IIT Kharagpur where students were unable to secure a good internship or placement through the CDC initially, but through their efforts and consistency, they eventually landed positions at excellent companies.
With that said, I wish you the best of luck. May you excel in your endeavours, and may God bless you!

A) Hey everyone! I am Sanskar Mittal, a third-year undergraduate student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering enrolled in its B.Tech course. I will be interning in Mastercard as a Software Engineer this summer.
A) I got into Mastercard via the Career Development Centre, IIT Kharagpur. There were three rounds consisting of 1 online assessment and two technical interviews (Day 3).
OA:
There was a test on an online platform where we had to solve two questions within an hour. Both the questions were surprisingly easy and revolved around basic STL knowledge. Around 30 people were shortlisted with CG being a major criterion.
Round 1:
My interview was scheduled for the afternoon. Since I had an interest in Machine Learning which my CV indicated, the interviewer directly asked some ML-based case scenarios. One question was to see how I come up with a solution to manage multiple transactions processing along with how to secure them with encryption. The rest of the questions were related to the projects mentioned in my CV.
Round 2:
My second interview followed soon after the first one ended. This was more of a mix of Technical + HR rounds where the interviewer asked a bit more about my CV and interests. Then we talked about the upcoming AI trend and my view on it. This round was short compared to the previous one.
As soon as the interview finished, I got a call that I had been offered the role.
A) There are a bunch of platforms to prepare for OA and technical rounds. I would recommend LeetCode and InterviewBit (Medium and Hard), CSES for concept practice, and GFG for interview rounds. You can also refer to cp-algorithms and USACO Guide to understand concepts. For timed assessments, one may practice on AtCoder, Codeforces and CodeChef but they are more on the competitive side. Also, CF/A2OJ Ladders are a good source for tough questions. Do participate in GOC contests as they directly give PYQs and some modified versions of it.
A) I began learning DSA at the end of my second year. This is a little late, so I recommend starting in your third semester. I already had some basic DSA knowledge from my Algorithms-1 course, so I was able to catch up quickly. I also prepared for quant roles by reviewing Probability and Statistics (Stats 101 is a good course) and practicing puzzles from Brainstellar and Heard on the Street.
A) Being a good coder is not enough for the tests. You must be fast and able to think quickly. Thus, there is only one key: PRACTICE. There were times when I felt burned out, but talking to friends and family helped the most. Initially, I struggled with practicing for the interview rounds. But again, practice makes a person perfect.
A) For SDE role, Mastercard allowed only circuital branch with no CGPA restriction. Still, it is better to maintain a good CGPA as it might become a deciding factor behind the recruiting process.
PORs and EAAs are not particularly important in this role, but they can help you look good on your CV if you have no previous projects or internships. In my case, two different companies’ HR managers praised my CV, saying it was unique and served as a great conversation starter during the interviews.
A) If you are a tech enthusiast who enjoys challenging yourself, you are a good fit for this position. SDE requires one to be inquisitive and question decisions rather than simply following them. You learn a lot beyond your regular coding, such as peer building and work management. Many people lack the ability to work in a team, so this is an excellent opportunity to work on it.
A)
A) CDC internship is a time of great setbacks as well as great comebacks. You might get rejected in interviews you were sure to ace but don’t let it discourage you. Failure is unavoidable in life, and it is better to fail early than never fail. Continue to do your best and consult with your friends and family. You will notice people you do not think are as good as you are getting internships early, but that does not mean you are bad. Perhaps better things are in store for you! You never know :)

A) This is Neeraj Boddeda. As of May 2024, I am a 4th year undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur pursuing Computer Science and Engineering. I have been offered a Data Science internship by Microsoft for the summer of 2024. I am interested in Machine Learning and Operating Systems. This blog details my preparation and interview experience via the on-campus internship drive at IIT Kharagpur. I hope it helps you!
A) On the day before Day 1 of the interviews, I got to know that I was shortlisted for Graviton and Microsoft interviews. One is for the SDE profile, and the other is for the Data Science profile. I went through the pages of the rough book that I used during CP practice in the hope that the scribbles would give me the confidence of hard work, and it surprisingly worked. For Data Science, I reviewed the projects mentioned in the CV and studied the concepts involved. I also quickly revised the Deep learning course slides and the rough
notes I made during the ML courses in Coursera. I also explained my projects to my friend in the name of the Mock interview session. This small action helped me a lot as it made me realize what areas to concentrate on and what information I should collect about projects. Then, I slept for 15–30 minutes and prepared for the interviews.
Interviews day it is…
Graviton interviews were scheduled from 12 AM itself. I had given my Graviton interview from 1 AM to 2 AM. They asked two questions. One is related to Probability, and the other is a CP problem that can be efficiently solved using the Dynamic Programming approach. I solved both, but I took more time for the Probability one, and at that moment, I realized that I messed up. After this, my Microsoft interview was scheduled for 4 AM. While waiting for the Microsoft interview, I got a call saying that I had been shortlisted for an Uber interview and needed to attend by 4:20 AM. My Microsoft interview was postponed, and my Uber Interview
started at 4:45 AM. It went till 7 AM with two rounds. One round comprised CP questions, and the other consisted of a task to make a software prototype in C++ using OOPS concepts. This round is about Software development and design choices.
I was exhausted, and my Microsoft interview started at 8 AM. There were two rounds, both of which were held through Microsoft Teams. In Round 1, the interviewer was a Senior manager at Microsoft. The round started with my introduction, and then I was asked a CP question. It was “Find the element which occurs more than n/4 times in a sorted array (n is the size of the array)“. I coded the solution with O(log n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity. Then he asked me about Boosting, Variance, Bias, Entropy, etc. Round 1 took around 45 mins. In Round 2, I was asked a CP question regarding strings and hashing. Then, the interviewer asked me to explain one of my Machine Learning projects from my CV. I explained about an Image Reconstruction model. He asked me a few questions regarding the project, like Generative Adversarial Networks and Stable Diffusion Model. He asked me to explain the
intuition behind the working of Gradient Decent and also about Decision trees. This round also took around 45 minutes.
Later, I got a call from the placements committee informing me that I got an offer from Microsoft, which I accepted.
3) How prepare for them?
A) It’s the beginning of the summer vacation, and I just had one goal, i.e., not to waste the vacation like I did all these years. An equivalent positive variant of the goal is to utilize the break better than the way I did last year. I was aiming for internships from SDE, ML, and Quant profiles. Practicing competitive programming is a common requirement to ace tests of all the above three profiles. For SDE tests and interviews, OOPS is additionally required. For ML profile, a strong understanding of ML fundamentals is a must. For quant profile, Probability and Statistics is indispensable.
Before the vacation, I had never practiced Competitive programming seriously; all I did was jump from one random topic to another, whichever excited me. Considering my peers, many of whom were already equipped with decent levels of CP Skills, I found a need for me to stick to one thing, i.e., CP. Ultimately, the internship drive is all about competition and how well you perform compared to others, and the company’s expectations.
For Competitive programming, my prep constituted:
1. Giving all the contests in Codeforces in the vacation. (No matter where you are at with the theory of DSA, give the battles)
2. Breaking the theory of DSA into numerous parts and solving 5–10 standard questions (which can be found in many DSA Sheets on the internet) related to that after completing the theory. I chose Leetcode for the problems.
3. Solving previously solved questions and easy questions on Leetcode to increase the speed.
● Leetcode, Geeks for Geeks, and Neetcode on YT are excellent platforms that helped me.
For Data Science preparation, I revised Deep Learning and Machine Learning courses I had taken in the previous semesters. I also completed two ML related courses by Andrew Ng on Coursera. For Probability and Statistics, I revised some concepts from Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers by Douglas C Montgomery. Fundamental concepts like Random Variables, Probability Distributions, Central Limit theorems, etc., are sufficient.
A) By mid-July, the tests had started. Companies rushed to give their PPTs (Pre-placement talks). The CDC informs you just the day before any tests or sometimes even a few hours before. Be aware of the CDC notice board in ERP and pay frequent visits to that site. I did prepare enough, but I didn’t know that yet. My preparation till then wasn’t up to my expectations. My first test was for the Google SDE role, and I completely messed up in the test. I started
panicking, and I gradually convinced myself to be cool. Then I gave the remaining tests, and after three or four tests, giving the tests became a regular thing. For the Microsoft DS test, two coding questions were asked. One is data extraction from a text, and the other is also an easy one, which I don’t remember.
5) What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in CV while targeting this profile?
A) CV is provided below you can refer that and get a good idea.
A) If you are participating or going to participate in the CDC session, lots of tests occur with abnormal timings and in less time. Plan and prepare accordingly and give your best.
If you are worried about the CDC, my advice is not something like “Don’t worry.” I want to say that you are not alone, and may the force be with you.

1. Brief introduction and description of offered role -
A) Hello everyone, I am Kaushal Jadhav, a 4th-year undergraduate of the department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering at IIT Kharagpur, enrolled in its dual degree course. I am a boarder of Patel Hall of Residence. This summer I will be interning at Morgan Stanley in its Strats and Quant role.
A) I secured an internship at Morgan Stanley through the on-campus hiring facilitated by the Career Development Centre at IIT Kharagpur.
As a part of the selection process, MS conducted an online test comprising sections such as Maths, Reasoning, English and Coding. Each section required solving a substantial number of questions within a limited time. The key to the test was to solve quickly and accurately. The Maths section covered topics including Probability, Linear Algebra, and Calculus. The English section aimed to assess the candidate’s proficiency in listening, speaking, vocabulary, and grammar skills in the English language. The Coding section had two implementation-based questions on Sieve of Eratosthenes and Depth First Search.
The interview round consisted of three rounds — two technical and one HR. In the first round I was asked a few questions about my resume, some basic questions on probability, statistics and matrices and two challenging questions based on matrices and probability each.
The second round was a coding round. The interviewer asked me four questions and in all the questions, only the approach was expected. In the first question I was asked for the code to find the number of trailing zeroes in n! . The second question was a LeetCode standard question based on finding the median of two sorted arrays. I do not remember the third question. The fourth question was based on lowest common ancestor. In all the questions I explained the brute force approach first and then the optimized approach. Despite not being able to provide the most optimized answer for the fourth question, the interviewer seemed satisfied with my approach.
In the HR round, I was asked situational questions. We also discussed my family background and projects. Since I lacked a financial background, I was asked whether I intended to continue in this domain. Finally, two students were given the internship offer.
A) The Quant role in general requires mathematical as well as coding expertise. One should maintain a firm hold on core mathematical concepts related to probability, statistics and linear algebra. He / she should be well-versed in concepts related to DSA such as graphs, binary search and dynamic programming. I would recommend considering each section of the online test to be equally important, be it English or Reasoning.
Before the selection procedure begins, ensure that you have reviewed the notes from your math courses. For the coding related questions, LeetCode is the best platform to practice as questions are directly asked from it in the interview. For the puzzles, Brainstellar, 50 challenging problems in probability and Heard on the Street are the main staples. If time permits, consider reviewing Harvard’s Stats 110 course, at least their practice sheets. For the HR round, it’s beneficial to review current affairs related to the organization, its brief history, and primary goals. Frame your answers in a way that aligns with their goals. Prepare your resume very well, especially your projects. You should be confident about whatever is there in the resume, including the courses you have mentioned.
4) When did you start preparing for this role?
A) I started practicing competitive coding in my third year. During my summer vacation, I solved coding questions on LeetCode while simultaneously preparing for the data profile. In the month of June, I shifted my focus towards revising mathematical concepts.
A) As I had no financial background, I was initially worried about being tested on financial concepts. However, Morgan Stanley did not ask any finance related questions in any of the rounds. Another major challenge I faced was the vast number of resources available to prepare for this role. For revising the basic concepts, I stuck to my college notes, and for practice, I referred to the resources listed above. I found some CP concepts, such as DP, to be challenging. Vivek Gupta’s AlgoZenith workshop is a good place to learn and master CP concepts.
A) MS opened for all the departments however they had a hard CGPA cut-off of 9. As this is a Quant internship, PORs do not matter significantly, however it is good to have PORs in your resume.
A) Anyone who likes math and coding should definitely give it a try. Do not worry about finance, you would end up liking it!
A) I would strongly advise including 2–3 projects on your resume as they significantly influence the interviewer’s perception of your skills and capabilities. You can also mention your achievements in competitions and hackathons. However, be honest about what you are writing in your CV and you should be able to explain it.
A) The entire internship process can be very hectic and stressful. However, you should keep calm throughout the phase and never be very tense. Reach out to seniors, especially those who have got an internship in the companies you are targeting. You can give mock interviews to help you feel more comfortable during the actual interview. Finally, do not feel depressed because you did not get shortlisted for your dream company. There is a long way to go!
You can always reach out to me for any queries.
Best of Luck!

Shortlisting Criteria: Shortlists were announced based on test performance. If you did all questions of the test then you might be shortlisted based on department or CGPA.
Interview: Oracle comes with a total of 8 people, having 6 interviewers and 2 HR. All interview round was offline. All the round of interview was 1–1. I was the only person who had been shortlisted from the non-circuital department, that’s why I had 3-technical rounds and 1-HR rounds but circuital people have only 2-technical and 1-HR rounds.
Round 1: I was a bit confused at the beginning when I had to introduce myself because I felt really nervous. This was my first time having a one-on-one interview in person, which made things even harder. As a result, I had trouble speaking clearly because I was unsure of myself. Thankfully, the interviewer kindly offered me some water, which gave me a short break and helped me calm down. After that, being in the interviewer’s friendly presence made me feel more comfortable.
To assess my technical acumen, I was provided with a pen and a set of A4-sized sheets to transcribe the code from the ‘#include’ statement to the ‘return 0’ statement within the main function. It’s noteworthy that I was not allowed to utilize function snippets, a caveat unique to my circumstance as someone with a non-circuit background.
During our talk, the interviewer asked me questions based on binary trees, using trees in dynamic programming, and topological sorting. They also wanted to know about my past internships. What made it interesting was that I had to figure out and write the solutions for these coding problems on paper right then and there. I’d never done that before, so it was quite tough. But as we continued talking and I got more comfortable with the interviewer, my nervousness started to fade away. It was surprising how smoothly this happened, and I found it easier to handle the challenges that came up.
“All these three rounds had taken around 60–70 minutes each. So having patience is required.”
Round 4(HR): My starting question was “In my world of computer science, how can I help some non-circuital guy”. I answered gently and shared my experience in three internships in web development along with what I learned from them. He seemed pleased with my response. I also mentioned that I’m good at OOPs (which stands for Object-Oriented Programming). After all the technical questions, he asked about my day and the company. We had a casual chat that lasted around 25–30 minutes.
“Here are some ideas to help you prepare for interviews at software companies on day-1 and day-2. Please follow these tips”
“Have faith in getting a chance, drop your “bt” for sure.”

A) Hello everyone, I am Shatansh Patnaik, a fourth-year undergraduate student in the Department of Mathematics enrolled in its Integrated Master of Science Programme. I have a passion for software development and I’m constantly in search of opportunities for building new products. I have already done a few internships related to App Development in some startups.
I was offered an Internship at Oracle India for the summer of 2024 via CDC IIT Kharagpur last year.
A) The selection procedure had the following steps:
The Online test round was conducted on HackerRank. The test consisted of two sections. The first section had 20 Multiple Choice Questions related to Logical Reasoning, English, and Basic Mathematics. The questions were of easy to medium difficulty level. The next section consisted of three coding questions, which were of fairly easy to medium difficulty level. Overall, with a solid knowledge of Data Structures and Algorithms and reasoning skills, one can easily ace the online test. One should be careful not to make any silly errors in the same. Some of the students were shortlisted based on the results of the above test but also CGPA plays an important role in the shortlisting for interviews. After getting shortlisted for the interviews, they conducted three consecutive rounds with five five-minute breaks between two rounds. The interviews were completely in-person. I was asked some easy DSA problems in the first round followed by a quick transition to Operating Systems and Object-Oriented Programming questions (Core CS Fundamentals). The Second Technical round started with some questions about my prior internships. Then I was asked two medium problems on a piece of paper and then perform a complexity analysis for the same. The last round was an HR Round, which was a long discussion session about things related to my experiences, my involvements, my academic performance, etc.
A) The main tip in understanding how to prepare for such scenarios lies in the realization of what the company expects from the students joining them. The coding standards in top-level MNCs are different from how we code or build in general. Therefore they retort to our problem-solving skills by asking questions related to Data Structures and Algorithms. My technique of preparation was more focused on practicing as many problems as I could. This included solving problems on LeetCode, Codeforces, and Atcoder. I had also enrolled myself in the AlgoZenith AZ-201 Course to learn the various topics included in Competitive Programming. Before the CDC Shortlisting tests, I used to give LeetCode Weekly and BiWeekly contests. This improved my implementation skills to a large extent. Next, I used to give contests on CF and Atcoder. I realised up solving post contests is way more important than solving the problems during the contests. I used the flow: Read the problem statement, Think about the various paradigms I could use to solve it, what kind of data structures I needed for the same, followed by the implementation in C++ (My language of choice), Followed by debugging in case of any logical or silly flaws. In many cases I wasn’t able to solve problems even after spending extended amounts of time. Therefore, I used to read the solution section in the Editorial to understand the logic. And then I used to implement the solution all by myself. But also, again the language in the solution section of the editorial was a bit difficult to understand. Therefore, I used to watch streams by top competitive programmers like Erichto, Shayan, etc where they discussed their approaches to the problem. Once I understood the logic, next I dived right into the implementation of the logic, followed by the submission.
Next, as I mentioned I was asked questions related to Operating Systems and OOPS. I had prepared for the same using AlgoZenith’s Interview Bootcamp and GeeksForGeeks. I knew OS, OOPS, DBMS. But I hadn’t covered Computer Networks. You can always tell the interviewer that you don’t know about these domains. But if you have such topics mentioned on your CV, then you should be able to answer any questions about it.
A) WelI started practising problems from the start of my third year. But I wasn’t very focussed. So I had covered AZ-201 Modules which had organised content essential for enhancing your Problem Solving skills. About ideal time, well I don’t think there is an ideal time for the start of the preparation, because every person is different and have their ways of tackling challenges. All I could suggest is that you should start your preparation as early as you can. So that you can explore a wide variety of problems and learn a lot from them.
A) Well one of the most common challenges that any student can face while preparing for CDC Internships is the act of giving up. For instance you were unable to solve a problem but all of your friends did. You referred to the editorial but you are still unable to understand the underlying logic. Then do not stop there and be depressed and think “Maybe I wasn’t supposed to be good at this”, go to YouTube explore the solution of the problem proposed by different content creators, Ask your friends to explain the solution. After this if you feel like you have a basic understanding of the logic, then open up your editor and start coding up the solution. A sole solution to this is the realisation that you can do it.
A) Yes as long as the department criteria goes, only students from circuital departments were shortlisted for the interview process. As far as the CGPA requirement goes, I’d say it would be safe to have a CGPA more than 8.5. PORs and EAAs weren’t required for the selection procedure. But its good to have (not mandatory) some projects and internships mentioned on your CVs. And if that is the case, you should have an in-depth knowledge of every single thing that you have mentioned on the CV.
A) Any person who has an interest in problem solving and wants to explore the Software Development profile and has a passion to build something new can apply for this profile.
A) Well one advice to everyone, have decent exposure to all the tech stacks that you have mentioned on your CV. You can get cross-questions from that section if the interviewer has worked on a similar tech stack. So spend some time preparing your CV and having exposure to everything you have mentioned on the CV.
A) Well specific advice for the ones preparing for the software development domain, start competitive programming as soon as possible. Have a mindset to learn something new every single day. Don’t just solve a problem and ignore it, learn the various ways you can approach a problem and tackle it. Have no upper bound to learning, learn as much as you can. Don’t compare yourself with others. Instead learn how they managed to solve, try to learn their ways.
In general, regardless of whatever profile you prepare for, take care of your mental health. Do not be too stressed. Take breaks during your preparation. Always be in touch with your friends and seniors for help and guidance. Believe in yourself, you have made it so far and there have been many challenges you have faced. Believe in yourself that you can do this too. Have confidence in yourself.

A) Hello, I am Nikhil Thogaru, a 3rd year undergraduate student from the Department of Mathematics enrolled in its B.S. course in Mathematics and Computing. I am from Kodad, Telangana.
I have been offered a software intern role in the technical team for Piramal Capital and Housing Finance at its Bangalore office. I will be interning during the summer of 2024.
A) There is usually a coding round/technical round. This company is open to all departments and thus has a higher number of candidates than the companies that give a chance only to the circuital departments.
The first round was a coding round which consisted of MCQs and 2 coding questions of your preferred language. The style of the questions is similar to those of competitive coding type and MCQs do not really consist of any core computer science concepts and mostly consist of
identifying the bugs in the code and their execution. So if you have a strong coding background with a clear understanding of basics MCQs should be a no-brainer to you. I got a 4-state dp question which will be around 1900 in cf, and another standard greedy question around 1400 in cf. And some of my friends got very easy questions like both were of around 1300–1400 in CF.
After making it through the coding round, you will receive a shortlist from the CDC. The interview consisted of two rounds: A technical round and a HR round. The technical round happens in the first half of the day and the HR round happens in the second half. The technical round usually consists of the interviewer reviewing your CV and asking questions regarding the skills and the projects you have mentioned. So, I suggest you be honest and concise in your CV as they do not expect more than honesty and dedication in what you have mentioned in your CV. Also, the round consists of questions similar to the MCQs from the coding round, usually asking you for the algorithms by hand and mentioning their time and space complexities. Try to be concise in your solution and also mention to the interviewer if you are not familiar with any technology or an algorithm. This round as a whole takes around 30 mins to 45 mins depending on how complex you made your CV.
Then comes the HR round which usually has no technical questions and involves the interviewer trying to understand your spirit to work in their company. Good communication skills and honesty in the answers should get you through this round.
A) First of all, you should be well-versed with one of the standard programming languages of your choice (CPP will be a better option). The language of coding does not matter as all the companies try to test your logical and problem-solving skills. So, you should have enough expertise to at least implement what you proposed in the code.
After having a good knowledge of all the Data Structures, I suggest you start solving questions on Codeforces, and start giving contests on both Codeforces, Codechef, and Atcoder if time permits. If you can solve 1800 cf-rated questions with some hints, then you can solve most of the coding round questions.
A) I don’t have any prior experience in coding. I learned C language in my first semester, then C++, after I learned some data structures and algorithms through geeks for geeks articles. Till my 3rd semester, I was going through geeks for geeks and hackerrank. I was a bit late to codeforces, which was the major mistake I made. Better to start giving contests in CF after sem-2. Also, try to maintain a decent CGPA.
A) This company came in week 2. I performed well in coding rounds for week 1 companies, but because of my cg, I couldn’t get an interview shortlist. Later on, I gave upcoming tests without losing confidence and got a few interview shortlists.
A) A short answer would be No but, on a stretch, it is a complicated answer. But having a high CGPA would give you an extra edge in case of a situation of tie-breaking for the shortlisting. A decent CGPA above 8.5 should be enough to cut. Similarly, departmental preference might be there but not as much affecting as the CGPA for tie breaking.
Also, SDE profile is usually a technical profile and does not require you to have many PORs or EAAs to secure the internship. However, having prior experience in the Web Team of the societies does help.
A) I suggest you to be as honest as possible in your CV and not to over deliver on any project which you have mentioned as it would be harder for you to explain yourself in the pressure of the interview. I suggest you mention a short and precise summary of your skills and the projects which you have made with them. Also mention your contest rating on the cf,cc platforms.
A) I suggest the students to never stop trying and have confidence in your preparation which should ultimately give you the opportunity which you deserve. And also do not keep changing your target profile and focus on applying at most only 2 profiles and not more than that. Focusing on multiple profiles can distract you in preparation and lose your efficiency. And if you could not cut the first try, always keep trying till you get what you feel you deserve.

1. Brief introduction and description of offered role
A) Hi Everyone
My name is Kunal Kumar, a fourth-year undergraduate Student form the Department of Mathematics, enrolled in its Integrated M.Sc Program. I am from Patna, Bihar. I will be joining Standard Chartered Bank this summer as a Software Engineer Intern.
2. How did you get into Standard Chartered? What was the selection procedure?
A) The selection process consisted of five stages, including tests, interviews, and an HR round. Initially, there were two pymetrics tests comprising 10–12 games, each designed to evaluate different cognitive abilities, behavioral tendencies, and personality traits. Passing these tests was necessary to proceed to the subsequent rounds. Fortunately, I performed well and advanced past these initial tests.
Three days later, we had a 60-minute Online Assessment round at Nalanda, featuring one medium-level and one hard-level question. I fully solved the first question and partially solved the second, which qualified me for the interview round scheduled for Day 3.
The two interview rounds were conducted online via one-on-one video calls, but we had to be present at Nalanda. Both rounds were technical. In the first round, the interviewer asked me to introduce myself and solve some easy to medium-level DSA questions. I implemented the “two-sum” problem while sharing my screen and answered basic OOP questions about inheritance, polymorphism, and more. Additionally, I explained how to implement a car parking scenario using classes, objects, and various OOP concepts verbally.After the first round, I waited for 20 minutes before joining another video call for the second round. This round focused on my CV projects. The interviewer asked me to elaborate on the projects and also posed questions on pointer arithmetic.
The final HR round involved discussing my background, goals, and suitability for the role. Despite not having specifically prepared for HR questions, I provided spontaneous responses. By the end of the HR round, they extended an offer to me.
Out of the approximately eight candidates selected for this role, I was fortunate to be one of them
A) Mastering Data Structures and consistently practicing related questions is essential for preparing for an SDE role. I enrolled in a self-paced Algozenith course, which systematically covered all data structures, significantly enhancing my theoretical knowledge. Additionally, YouTube channels such as Luv Babbar, Take U Forward, and Apna College offer detailed explanations that were incredibly helpful in my learning process. Regular participation in contests on Codeforces and weekly challenges on LeetCode is highly recommended. These practices will thoroughly prepare you for both online assessments and interviews.
4.When did you start preparing for this role and according to you what is the ideal time for aspirants to begin their preparation?
A) My primary goal was to secure an SDE role, which requires strong proficiency in DSA and competitive programming. I enrolled in the Algozenith course during my second year and started participating in regular contests on Codeforces. If you are just beginning and have upcoming CDC internships, focus on building a solid foundation first. Dedicate a week or two to standard data structures and concepts like stacks, queues, priority queues, sets, multisets, and number theory. Then, progress to basics of trees, graphs, and dynamic programming. I recommend beginning your preparation at least three months before the CDC internship process starts. Additionally, a thorough understanding of fundamental Computer Science subjects, including OOPS, is crucial as these topics are frequently covered in interviews
A) The main challenges I faced were time constraints and the overwhelming number of resources available. To manage these, I maintained a consistent study schedule and stayed persistent. Seeking advice from seniors and friends helped me stay motivated and focused. Prioritizing quality resources, breaking down my study plan into manageable tasks, and setting short-term goals also helped me overcome these difficulties effectively
A) Standard Chartered was open to all departments. There were also no CGPA Criteria as such but higher is usually better.As for Positions of Responsibility (PORs) or Extra Academic Activities (EAAs), they’re not necessary but can certainly help in building your soft skills like teamwork and communication, which are crucial during interviews.
A) Students aspiring to become software developers should consider applying for the SDE role at Standard Chartered. Ideal candidates for this role are passionate about technology and driven to make a significant difference. They will have the privilege of collaborating with some of the brightest minds in the industry, enhancing their skills and expertise.
A) Your CV should emphasize relevant projects and internships, especially those in the software domain, such as full stack development, personal projects involving graph algorithms, and frontend or backend projects. Showcasing your proficiency in DSA through competitive programming rankings or notable achievements will give you a competitive advantage. Ensure that your CV is clear and focused, with each item aligning with the skills needed for your targeted role. During interviews, effective communication and confidence are crucial. Additionally, have your CV reviewed by as many seniors as possible and consider their feedback regularly
A) The CDC internship process can be quite challenging. It’s not just about preparation but also about maintaining positivity and confidence until the right opportunity comes along. Instead of fixating on the result, enjoy the journey. It’s essential not to let demotivation affect you. Comparing your progress to others might be discouraging, but staying positive, learning from your mistakes, and focusing on improvement is key to future success.
Remember, “Everything works out in the end.”, so don’t take stress.

A) Hello! I am Debanu Das. I am currently a 5th year Dual Degree student in the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. I selected ‘Microelectronics and VLSI Circuits” as my M.Tech specialization. I am from Durgapur, West Bengal. I was offered internship in Digital Engineering at Texas Instruments via CDC Internship. My internship role is Product Comparison and Architecture Exploration.
2)How did you get into Texas Instruments? What was the selection procedure?
A) The initial selection test was an online proctored one. I applied for Digital and Analog profiles. There were 20 questions in the Aptitude section which was of 30 mins. The Digital and Analog sections were each 45 mins and had 20 questions in each section.
After that I was selected for the interview round which was solely based on scores of the initial online test. There was only one round of technical interview for Texas Instruments, and no HR round.
I was selected for the Digital Electronics profile. The interview began with an introduction of myself, followed by questions based on stuff which I had mentioned on my CV. After that, the first half an hour of the interview was based on digital electronics stuff such as synchronous and asynchronous counter designs, conversions of flip flops, frequency division circuits and some basics. The next part of the interview was based on concepts on Computer Architecture, more specifically it was on Cache Memory and its different types. After that they asked if I had any questions for them and with that the interview concluded. My overall personal experience was nice and the interviewers were very friendly.
A) For preparing for Digital profile, I would suggest going through ‘Digital Electronics Circuits’ course taught by Prof. Goutam Saha, along with the Morris Mano book. Prof Saha’s course content is also available in NPTEL. The important topics are Counter Designs, Flip Flops, Finite State Machines, combinatorial circuits and KMAPs. CMOS logic and Boolean expressions are also important. A bit of knowledge on Computer Architecture and Verilog HDL language is also essential, for which you can refer to NPTEL courses or YouTube videos. Computer Architecture would be taught in 6th sem by Prof. P.K. Biswas, which would be helpful for Dual Degree students sitting for CDC. You can refer to his video lectures on NPTEL. Static Timing Analysis is also an important topic for preparation and tests. I referred to STA lectures on YouTube by Yash Jain. Another important topic for test purposes in digital profile is ‘FIFO Depth calculation’. You can find its videos on YouTube. For ‘frequency division circuits using flip flops’, you can refer to online blogs.
A) I started preparing for this role in the summer vacation we get just before CDC Internship exams. That would give a thorough revision of all the concepts covered during semester curriculum.
A) As such, if one has good concepts of the DEC course taught by Gautam Saha, there are not much difficulties. However, some topics such as Static Timing Analysis, FIFOs and Frequency Divider circuits, etc. might require separate content apart from the DEC course. I referred to STA lectures on YouTube by Yash Jain. For ‘FIFO Depth calculation, you can find its videos on YouTube. For ‘frequency division circuits using flip flops’, you can refer to online blogs.
A) Only students from ECE and EE departments can sit for this profile (At max industrial dept. students too). For core profile I would say CGPA affects. Along with performing well in your interview, having CGPA on a higher side increases your chances of getting selected. I would suggest maintaining a CGPA > 8.5; and having a CGPA > 9 is the best.
I didn’t have any prior internship/ FT experience; hence no questions were asked about it. It can be beneficial to have one, although not that important in core profile since they know you are sitting for your CDC internships for the first time. Most importantly, if you are mentioning it in your CV, you should be thorough with the details and work related to your internship/training, since they might ask questions about it.
I gave SWG student mentorship and Hall position in my CV as PoRs. However, in the core profile, they do not look for PoRs. Hence, I would say it is not important. They asked no questions about it.
A) Anyone who is interested in Core Electronics, as well as Digital Electronics as well as a bit of Embedded Systems (there is a separate profile for it tho).
A) I started my BTP work in the summer vacations, hence mentioned it in my CV. Since it is related to ‘β-(AlxGa1-x)2O3/Ga2O3 device modelling’, they didn’t ask questions related to it as I was giving the interview for Digital Electronics profile. I also mentioned the course term project in my Depth Elective subject ‘Neuronal Coding on Sensory Information’, however since it was not related to Digital Electronics, they didn’t ask any questions on it.
I mentioned the course ‘From NAND to Tetris’ which I did from Coursera, in my CV. It was mostly based on Computer Architecture and the interviewers asked a few questions about the course and what was done in it. I also mentioned about the ‘VLSI Summer Course’ conducted by Prof. Mrigank Sharad in the ‘Training’ section of my CV which I did during summer vacations. They asked some specific questions from it which were based on the stuff I mentioned in my CV.
You can also mention the lab coursework stuff done in the semesters as projects in your CV. However, be thorough with whatever you have mentioned in your CV since they ask questions from Projects.
A) You should be thorough with the basics of Digital Electronics. I would suggest along with Digital Electronics, be thorough with the basic concepts of Computer Architecture and a bit about Verilog HDL language. For preparation, you should go through the ‘Digital Electronics Circuits’ course of Prof. Goutam Saha which was taught in 4th semester. You can refer to Morris Mano book for further preparation, as well as YouTube lectures and blogs on particular topics on the net. You can also refer to previous year questions that were asked in TI tests.
Mention only the stuff in the CV in which you are confident with, and have worked on. Try to limit your CV to one page, with proper indentation and bulleting. You can consult your known seniors for CV making. Be confident during your interview and no need to worry or take any tension; be calm and relaxed. They would mostly see your core knowledge in the interview. Making a few mistakes while answering questions is fine. They are looking for someone who is trying to answer the questions and they also see the thought process and approach to solve it. Since it is an online interview, you should let the interviewers know what you’re thinking or your approach to solve the problem by speaking to them, rather than going completely silent. All the best!

Hi, I am Atulya Sharma, a recent (2024) BTech graduate in CSE from IIT Kharagpur. I have been offered a SW role in Da Vinci Derivatives (now Da Vinci Trading), (it sounded a lot cooler earlier ;-;) in Amsterdam, Netherlands, thanks to CDC IIT Kharagpur, my friends and family and a very specific event for which I discarded the potential PPO. I would be producing low latency code in C++ for the company for various purposes. Some other tools are also used which I probably shouldn’t list.
In the placements 2023–2024, I targeted systems / system software roles across Da Vinci, Indian HFTs, Big Tech, Hedge Funds and Banks. I purposely avoided roles with mentions of full stack dev, javascript🤢, etc. (personal preferences)
Round 1 : 2 C++ completion questions (not CP) and 3 subjective questions on compilers, networks
Did both code completion properly, compiler question and 1 question on networks properly and could not even read 1 remaining question; the test was long. I was sure I would NOT be shortlisted. I am very accurate about my shortlist predictions, I am glad I was wrong. But yes, never think about the company after the test regardless of how it went. Of Course do discuss the questions and learn from your mistakes. Never make the same mistake twice, it feels horrible.
Round 2 : Code Review
12 candidates were selected in total. Here they divided the 12 into groups of 6 and did discussions on given snippets of C++ code (figure the logic, suggest changes, what is wrong here, etc)
Half candidates from both groups were eliminated. Again, I did not think I would be shortlisted since my group had especially tough competition.
Whatever you do, never give up during OA, this simplifies things for others. Make it absolutely hard for the competition to get through.
Round 3 : Code Review (1)
Basically round 2 with 6 candidates (was done immediately after round 2)
This was by far the toughest round for me due to the level of competition and my health had deteriorated a lot by then. But I was sure I would get the shortlist for interviews.
Round 4 : Interview
3 candidates were finally shortlisted for interviews
Surprisingly this was much simpler than previous rounds.Had to complete a function of an order book in C++, this required some greedy logic
Later was asked about motivation and some other HR type questions. After the interview, I thought I bombed it and even called a friend (he basically guided, taught, helped me practice throughout the semester) and told him “I don’t think I would make it. I tried hard.”. He said to focus on the databricks interview next, which went much better. I did not let my negativity hamper the next interview.
But I was offered exactly when I sat for the first interview for databricks and I had no clue.
(“Meri selection ho gayi???”)
I double checked with 3 different people and 1 friend repeatedly on placecom to confirm I was offered. (shuklaji was angry)
I made mistakes in the Da Vinci interview but was quick enough to correct them. Be positive (if anyone who knows me saw this tip they would die laughing), just never think about the results at all while you are still in the process at least.
Do RR after everything is over.
Also, I forgot to do a CV review 🙂, realized this while slurping maggi (in a suit, no less, don’t do this unless you are sure nothing will drop on your white shirt / blazer you borrowed from a PPOed / dual guy) just before heading to Nalanda. DO NOT FORGET CV PREP
My mum asked me to read a Sanskrit Verse daily for 6 months. Uss din nikalne se pehle chant kia tha🗿Shayd isse hua h.
People with lower CG than 9 or 8.5 were also shortlisted. Coincidentally, all those who performed well till the Interview were 9+, I was barely 9 on the edge. I don’t think these people care about CG that much, but Indian hfts prefer 9+(NK). Some even do 9.5+(Quadeye). Some are fine with 8.5+(All others). In bigtech this does not matter much, but CG is often a criteria to settle ties.
Also coincidentally, 1 person only got an offer from quantbox (over 1 cr domestic) and he was barely 9 too.
As exceptions, Databricks, Glean, Rubrik (did not appear this time) etc prefer high CG
So for safety, high CG = high chance of you getting through. Of course if you bomb your tests, CG probably won’t save you.
Ignore seniors saying CG doesn’t matter. It matters during initial years if you are looking for jobs / higher edu. But yes, it doesn’t matter in any other case.
Take help from your PPOed / dual friends (if any)
Help your friends after you are offered.
Did CP a lot during this time, although it was mostly useless for specifically here since they did not ask me anything even remotely related to CP. But this did help me to get shortlists in most of the companies I applied for (I only applied for around 10–15 companies, mat karo aisa, apply karo har jagah apni profile me)
For this, I did contests on leetcode, atcoder regularly. Ditched codeforces and codechef since they aren’t relevant these days. But do prefer to become 1600+ on CF, 2000+ on CC, 2200+ on LC, 1300+ on ATC.
These are just targets you might use. If you reach here or beyond, CP in OAs won’t be much of a problem to you. There are exceptions to this, some (low paying ones often) companies arbitrarily ask stuff no one should, ex: a question on CF that only LGMs solved, or it’s a high paying company which always comes over to humiliate students on tests (won’t name who, ruins the surprise).
I also used these for usual SDE prep:
Always upsolve but see hints then solutions if you are clueless or stuck for 30 mins. There probably will not be enough time to just do everything without any hints.
To get shortlists on OAs with CP, it’s almost always required to do all questions completely or almost completely (partial on maximum 1 question, all others should be AC). Exceptions appear if no one does everything.
There was also another thing I noticed, some questions actually repeated across companies or different institutes. Always practice / discuss questions appearing in other institutes / PYQs, you never know what might come in your own test. Why does this happen ? A lot of companies just outsource OAs to third parties and the third party has a pool of questions and sometimes the set of questions they use for different OAs overlap and there you get the repeated questions.
One company is so legendary, it only used third parties for the test platform and not for the test questions and it actually repeated the exact same questions, exact same MCQs for years and the majority did NOT notice. But they were ruthless in the interviews so it’s fine too.
Needless to say, approx 1/5th of this actually came in use (for Da Vinci); I studied all of this based on what was asked to my senior, but the entire pattern of all rounds was changed
Next time, they might again change the pattern. But more or less you should know ‘CS’. Only CP is useless here.
Generally: Decent CP + heavy core CS + heavy C++ for HFTs / Prop Shops ; heavy CP + basic core CS for big companies ; basic core CS + Dev for smaller companies & startups ; CP + basic core CS + Decent C++ for Hedge Funds
Da Vinci this year: Heavy core CS + heavy C++
Decide carefully what you want to aim for
If you are sitting for only system roles, please sit for system software and usual SDE roles as well.
I wanted to reject my potential PPO before they even rolled out offers officially, to force myself into do or die mode so that I study very seriously. I could just take the potential PPO and go off campus but it’s not really feasible to do that, you lose half the motivation, or in the event that I actually don’t receive the offer, it would blow away any remnants of confidence I had mustered. To enter the trading industry off campus is the next level of toughness. I did try in a number of firms off campus that won’t come to placements. Out of 30ish companies I got a reply (interview opportunity in Feb) for hardly 3 of them, and 1 was not even direct placement. So it is quite competitive.
Right before calling the HR of the company I interned in, I got in an accident and had my elbow dislocated. Was contemplating for the next few days whether to call or not since the injury would not let me study properly. But called them anyway.
Writing code with one hand was slow and uncomfortable for a month.
Scooty dheere chalao baarish me especially agar agle sem placement h
When all companies started rolling out PPOs and I saw many good batchmates getting rejected, I was discouraged about them sitting in the placements and started regretting my choice. For a month or so I was studying with a lot of regret.
Be absolutely sure if you want to reject your PPO, and in this market just settle for something half decent as well. Switching jobs would probably be easier than sitting in placement.
Another issue was that a lot of companies skipped KGP or just entirely stopped hiring graduates. Many of us were banking on “{1st Greek letter}{linux command}” company since they would take a lot of high performers (usually they do), and had some information from somewhere that they would come as always, but they betrayed our expectations after giving PPOs to interns and skipping hiring from everywhere.
These betrayal incidents are common now and all of this increases competition.
A month before interviews I developed some “chest infection” that the doctor at BCR failed to recognise at first and it turned really bad quickly. I missed a few tests, including that of Apple due to this.
Some days before the interviews, I started showing worse symptoms.
(Very effective censorship indeed)
I would have skipped going for a checkup since it would take time, but a friend in my hall convinced me to go. So I consulted again, got a CT scan (borrowed 4k from a fren not fam to avoid getting scolded for not living like a human, make sure atleast 1 fren of yours is loaded) and then got to know this was serious. Had to walk to BCR everyday to get a nebulizer. During the visits, I used to read notes on computer networks on my phone while breathing medicine. This continued till the last day.
(these old chats seem hilarious now)
Somehow, a small part in the lungs was still infected until this year’s May, god bless BCR hospital💀
Even more important than studying is to take care of your health. I used to often skip meals and just chow on snacks to save time or when mess food was bad. During the DP holidays, I just survived on snacks while studying. This WILL come back to bite you if you are doing this. All effort gets useless if you end up getting hospitalized before interviews.
Very startup-like. Better culture, wlb than indian HFTs, probably others in Amsterdam as well (as far as i hear). Obviously less balance than big tech. Focus on merit and not on titles. Very very serious about performance, both on trading systems and on people
Best thing about here is you can switch to a quant / trader if you are good enough, and can basically do anything as long as you can contribute
People around me are exceptionally smart and hard working, i envy some of the brains here, ek se ek log h yaha (ex optiver/JS/etc, people from oxford/imperial/top iits)
I sometimes prefer being the dumbest in a room of people. (Emphasis on sometimes)
Did not play guitar during this time. Had no other hobbies. I took the easiest courses available and had my friends teach me 1 day before every test. Worked quite well and I got 9.11 sg, this method works really nicely in general if you choose the right courses. I took:
HS Environmental Humanities. Very obvious good choice
CS Cryptography & Network Sec. Kinda bad choice, but had friends teach me
CS Object Oriented Systems. Good choice since useful content and is easier than it sounds
CS Parallel Algorithms. Kinda bad choice if you are weak at theoretical CS
EP Small Business Development. Okayish since this might cost grades but is low effort
I would suggest suck it up and use very minimal time for your hobbies / extracurriculars. Getting a job should be the priority.
And I dropped BTP. But later I realised I actually had the easiest BTP in entire KGP (not even joking, it was some website portfolio automation, probably should have taken it for ez grade). I will not tell you to drop/take BTP. Do that on your own discretion.
But do have a little break sometimes or you will burn out. (Heavy emphasis on sometimes) Music is my charger.
Lambi Webseries dekhne mat lag jaana fir to ho hi gya placement aapka
People interested in making a career in quant industry / startup culture / C++ development. You will NOT build any products here for the society or for businesses or govt or anyone else, it’s all about making stuff for automated trading, build faster and faster systems, tools, stuff for quants / traders to use. The domain is also quite niche so people often just wander among financial firms using C++ in their codebase (maybe java too) afaik. The learning curve is quite high. And financial firms will pay higher than any other industry. (exceptions exist)
All stress does is bleach your hair gray. Peace maaro when you can (really ironic I am the one saying this)
Confidence can make/break you.
I knew someone who was around the same level as me in CP but bombed his initial tests just because of his low confidence. Although he got his confidence later and got placed on Day 2.
I was NOT confident at all
Some people around me had more faith in me than I had in myself. I put a lot of effort into gaining confidence through study and practice.
Don’t think too much about the shortlists where you did not make it.
Companies hardly ever shortlist optimally.
Apparently I am good enough to interview for Da Vinci, NK, Plutus, Google, Databricks, Sprinklr, De Shaw, Squarepoint, Mathysis Advisors, Zanskar Research (both off campus opportunities with interviews scheduled in Feb, I declined interview being honest about my offer), etc but not for “Windoes-maker” (obvious) for example. This should give an indicator of why I wrote this.
Give contests regularly and reach Expert (codeforces), 5 Stars (codechef), 1300 (atcoder), Guardian (leetcode), that will give confidence in OAs with CP.
This is not a hardline, just keep these targets.
Can try your luck off-campus in places that have a higher chance of getting through, for example, startups, lesser known unicorns, etc. I interviewed at Undisclosed Hedge Fund, Singapore (not sure if I should mention the actual name here, I am bound by contract) and they gave me an intern offer that could turn into a full time offer depending on the performance, and that gave me some relief. Some Indian HFTs even continue recruiting after the season is over. You might take another shot at them later on as well.
Thinking about the end result and factors out of your control is useless.
Think only about what you can influence.
I don’t really have any proper good advice for this question as you can guess from this write up, but what I did was,
I worked to the point I was convinced that if I don’t get placed, it will not be my fault
This is the CV used for off campus, the content is the same as what was used in CDC. I dont have the CDC format CV.
Note: ye canva h not latex, go ahead judge me; as long as it passes ATS sab chalta h
Keep solid projects in your CV related to compilers/os/nw or something of considerable complexity written in C++ or C (consider like an automated trading system, toy OS, etc)
I count myself lucky to get shortlisted based on just course projects; I would recommend having better projects to stand out.
Having an HFT / MFT / prop shop / bank / IB / fintech / etc intern experience or Olympiads / ICPC on CV is very attractive here.
Do NOT expect to get shortlisted off campus in the top prop shops / hfts like JS, Optiver, Citadel, IMC, etc or even Da Vinci (off campus) in a CV like this. Your competition outside India is the grad population from the likes of oxford, imperial, uni of amsterdam (ye nhi sune hoge but yaha se boht hire krte sab trading wale), zurich and what not, and this is just for the ones based in Europe & Asia. In the US, competition is even more tough. IIT is not enough of a tag. If you are here, atleast have a CV much more impactful.
Although yes, do try, kam se kam test link mil hi jaega (meko wo bhi nhi mila wese)
Inside India, IIT tag works to some extent, use it while it helps
And even big tech and other usual sde jobs are scarce currently so it’s tough and very selective there as well. See actual machau people CVs on linkedin in specific domains in SDE and take inspiration from there, it should give an idea about what level of projects you should match for both your CV and your learning (I could list some profiles here but i guess it’s wrong to do so without permission).
In large companies, CP is more or less the deciding factor. In smaller ones, it’s all dev skill, projects and experience and no CP at all.
I’m sure placement seriously loge after 99 percent of you did not take intern season very seriously (including me)
And yes, dunia khatam ni h agar ni mila kuch acha. But mauka milta h season se usko kharab mat karo. Any effort you put here will later help as well; during switching or on the job or your next big startup (call me if you start your hedge fund / prop shop).
AND keep looking for opportunities even after placement. Agar kuch better mila just take that. But why I am REALLY writing this is because these days you cannot trust companies that they will keep their word and let you join. Sprinklr recently withdrew all their placement sde + another role that I forgot across ALL institutes, in MAY when people are getting ready to go to work and almost every company has closed down their recruitment processes.
Thankfully they got offered somewhere else soon enough.

A) Heya everyone!
Akshita Jain this side. I am a 3rd year undergraduate student in the department of Mathematics enrolled in its BS course of Mathematics and Computing. I am a boarder of Mother Teresa hall. I am from Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. I have been offered an internship as a Quantitative Analyst at Goldman Sachs for summer 2024.
A) The initial step of the selection process involved an online assessment comprising four sections:
1. Probability and Statistics: Mostly moderate difficulty questions, with some directly from Brainstellar, and Herd on the street. Revisiting concepts like normal distribution and bivariate distribution will be beneficial.
2. Linear Algebra: Basic conceptual questions.
3. Algorithms: Brushing up on time complexity, object-oriented programming principles, and standard data structures would be sufficient.
4. DSA Question: Two questions, one on dynamic programming and another on graphs of medium difficulty.
The first question was similar to this question: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/adjoint-inverse-matrix/
5. Additionally, there were two HR questions requiring approximately 100-word responses.
Overall, the assessment is not very difficult but it’s a lengthy one so time efficiency and accuracy matters quite a lot.
Well apart from your score in OA your CV plays an important role in getting a shortlist for interviews, you will realize students who couldn’t perform very well in OA also get an interview shortlist, that’s solely due to CV shortlisting. So, this is my theory, GS comes for multiple roles all of them lie in the quantitative analyst bracket but some require efficient coding skills and efficient problem solving, some other majorly require financial background, and more such, that’s the reason not all shortlists are OA based. So, some advice from my side is to prepare your CV very well and do well in OA to be on the safer side.
Following this were offline interviews, typically for quant and software development engineering (SDE) roles. In general, the selection process involves 2–3 interviews. I underwent three interviews:
1. The first interview focused on basic probability, statistics, and one DSA question.
2. The second interview, I was asked 2 questions similar to questions from “50 Challenging Problems”.
3. The third interview covered diverse topics including a difficult DSA question, probability, time series, and concepts from previous semester courses, followed by CV grilling.
There was a medium-difficulty dsa question, a few probability questions, a few time series-based questions, and a few questions from my previous semester course (theory of computation and numerical solutions of PDE), and this was followed by CV grilling, indeed a long interview.
3) When did you start preparing for this role and according to you what is the ideal time for aspirants to begin their preparation?
A) I started and completed DSA during summer vacations from youtube channels like Lovebabbar and Striver (TakeuForward). Through midway I started giving CodeChef and Codeforces contests which I would suggest anyone preparing for sde or quant roles should, as this helps to buildup a problem solving habit within a limited time frame and will significantly improve your performance in online assessments. Also, GOC conducts a CDC series every year, these contests are conducted on hackerrank weekly and I would recommend you to give it a shot. Well, as everyone says, consistent practice in DSA is a must, so don’t forget to practice well. I also did Interview Bit extensively and would suggest it for concise practice of previously asked DSA questions.
For probability, Brainstellar is quite an interesting website to begin with, you’ll definitely enjoy it, and further if you wish to practice more you can start 50 challenging problems or Herd on the street, i particularly did 50 challenging problems (not completely). For Object Oriented Programming one can find quite a few blogs on different websites. I couldn’t find any good exhaustive resources but yeah don’t skip this. It’s an important topic and is asked upon quite frequently in a lot of sde profile interviews. Apart from this try to have varied projects in your CV, and a decent cg:))
4) What difficulties did you face while preparing to be a Quantitative Strategist at Goldman Sachs? How did you overcome them?
A) I was really confused about whether devoting all my preparation time to DSA was worth it or not, should I devote some time to preparing for other profiles also, which I eventually did. But I would suggest, select which profile(s) you wish to work in and devote all your time to its prep. Don’t waste time in switching preparation paths and not aceing in either of them.
A) As I have already mentioned your CV is really important since GS comes for multiple roles, Finance or quant-related projects are always good to add, but not a necessity. Apart from that, probability statistics is something that everyone should work on for any quant related role. A CGPA above 8 is considered good enough.
Coming to PORs, in my opinion, I don’t believe it is important in SDE or Quant roles. Though they can be good fillers if you have some space left in cv but not very important.
A) I would say anyone who likes problem solving, and is willing to solve a new challenge everyday is the ideal applicant, I know this line seems too generic but trust me this sums up basically everything.
Since it is an investment bank anyone in a finance or mathematics background is quite encouraged to hop on. But even if you don’t have this background you should be applying, it’s an amazing firm to get a first hand working experience from.
7) Lastly, what advice would you like to give to the students aiming to grab CDC internships this year?
A) Be Prepared To Face Rejections,
This is something that nobody might prepare you for, so I would like to give a little piece of advice to all my fellows sitting for CDC this time. You will have a dream company for which your online assessment went very well but still, you couldn’t make it till the interview, this is very likely to happen during CDC, so be mentally prepared and don’t be very disheartened for any company, have trust in yourself there are a lot more companies out there awaiting you. Getting an internship might be a short process for some, a bit longer for someone else, and a bit too long for someone else but that doesn’t signify your potential is less than anyone else, you need to accept the fact that CDC is indeed a random and biased process. There won’t be a single thing that you learn during your CDC prep and will go in vain, so have patience and give your best shot.
CDC is not the only way of getting a good internship offer, I have witnessed my friends bagging amazing offers not through CDC but off campus. So not getting a CDC offer is not the end rather it’s just a beginning..
Have courage and trust in yourself, you’re gonna figure it out :P
Best wishes to all aspiring candidates on their journey towards internships at Goldman Sachs and beyond, see ya around:))

Hello, I am Vipin Kumar, a 4th-year dual degree student in the Mechanical Engineering Department. In this blog, I’ll talk about how I got a summer internship offer at Goldman Sachs as a quantitative strategist.
2. How did you get into Goldman sachs? What was the selection process?
Imagine this: you apply on a whim, not checking the shortlist because you think it’s a long shot, and then a buddy tells you you’re in! That was my experience.
The process started when I submitted my CV for the quant intern role, not very sure at that time as I was majorly focusing on ML roles. The first filter was an online test with a mix of 20 questions — math, probability, coding, ml, and aptitude. I managed around 15 of these. Out of my expectations, I was shortlisted for the interview.
What followed were three intense rounds of interviews where I was grilled on everything from my internships and projects to data structure, probability and statistics, puzzles, and machine learning algorithms. Each interview round peeled back another layer, pushing me to showcase not just what I knew, but how I thought and approached problems.
3. How do you prepare for them?
Simple but effective rule: You need consistent practice and a bit of strategy.
I was preparing for analytics profiles. So, I immersed myself in machine learning and data science projects for over a year, which was like building stamina. Then, three months before the CDC internship, I started sprinting; I focused on data structures and algorithms, probability concepts, and aptitude questions. Engaging with competitive programming on platforms like Codeforces, and Leetcode helped me a lot to prepare in a time-constrained setup.
You need to balance focus on technical skills with a broader engagement in relevant projects. This not only builds your expertise but also gives you plenty to talk about in interviews.
4. Are there any specific requirements such as department, CGPA, or other criteria for this position? Additionally, do certain PORs or EAAs enhance one’s chance of getting this internship?
Goldman Sachs is quite inclusive regarding academic backgrounds; they don’t restrict applications based on your department. However, CGPA does play a role, especially for quant positions — higher is usually better, but it’s not the sole decider.
As for Positions of Responsibility (PORs) or Extra Academic Activities (EAAs), they’re not necessary but can certainly help in building your soft skills like teamwork and communication, which are crucial during interviews.
5. According to you, who should apply for this job?
If you’re the type who thrives on challenges, especially those involving numbers or complex problems, this opportunity is tailor-made for you. You don’t need a background in finance for this role in GS, but a decent foundation in mathematics, statistics, and problem-solving is crucial. The role is perfect for those who enjoy dissecting multilayered problems, whether in competitive programming, mathematical problems, or similar domains. If problem-solving excites you, don’t hesitate to apply
6. What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in CV while targeting this profile?
Your CV should highlight relevant projects and internships, particularly those involving data science, machine learning, or any quantitative analysis. Demonstrating your proficiency in DSA through competitive programming rankings or notable achievements will give you an edge. Remember, clarity and relevance are key — make sure every item on your CV aligns with the skills required for your targeted role.
7. What advice would you like to give to students aiming to grab a CDC internship this year?
First off, keep the preparation running and polishing your skills, but also make time to step away and spend time with friends — you don’t want to be overwhelmed by this hectic process.
Second, when you’re in the interview, treat it like a problem-solving session with your friends or mentor. Be honest when you’re stumped — ask for hints or discuss your thought process. Interviewers aren’t just interested in the right answer, but how you approach problems.
And remember, last-minute applications can sometimes lead to unexpected opportunities. So, even if it’s the eleventh hour and you have no expectations, throw your hat in the ring — you might just be exactly what they’re looking for!

1)Brief introduction and description of the offered role.
Hey all. I am Birru Lavanya, a pre-final undergraduate student in economics at IIT Kharagpur. I am from Warangal, Telangana. I will be interning at the Controllers division of Goldman Sachs this summer.
2)How did you get into Goldman Sachs? What was the selection procedure
Goldman Sachs offers two roles at our campus, quant and software, and is open to all departments with no CGPA cutoff. The selection procedure consisted of an online test at first. The online test had four sections:1) A few questions on probability, maths and puzzles.2) 2 subjective HR questions. It’s mostly the same every year.3) Two coding questions with medium-hard difficulty.4) Questions on CS fundamentals.A day before day one, candidates were shortlisted for offline interviews at Nalanda based on their test performance. I was shortlisted for quant interviews. There were three rounds of interviews. The first round started with a brief introduction, CV grilling and a few questions on probability, puzzles and some basic coding questions.
After performing well in the first round, I was immediately sent to the second round, where I was asked probability questions, puzzles and coding questions. This round consisted of many follow-up questions for each question. Through careful analysis and brainstorming, I could answer each of them and impress the interviewer. The third was with the manager, who started grilling my CV and caught his eye on my econometrics project. He gave me a situation where I had to design the experiment and perform statistical tests. With a lot of communication, I convinced him of my experiment.
Later, he moved to a coding question of medium-hard difficulty. All the rounds were interactive and engaging. I had three back-to-back interviews within a combined 2 hours. I was not asked to code anything explicitly, but I had to explain the logic and direction. There was no HR round as such for me. Immediately, I was told I was selected.
For probability and puzzles, I followed the standard interview books. Heard on the street, 50 challenging problems in probablity, brainstellar (it’s a website :)), etc. (I am adding this line because my Grammarly suggested it. I heard on the street that there were 50 challenging problems in probability, brainstellar, etc. lol).
For DSA, I enrolled in Algozenith in my fourth semester and practised some leetcode questions. I didn’t participate in any coding competitions as such, but I recommend doing so to get acquainted with the test environment.
I didn’t specifically target this company. I was a mentee in Quantitative Research at JP Morgan. Towards the end of the mentorship, I was given an opportunity to interview for an internship (I wasn’t selected). Resources were provided, and they were the same for any standard quant role interviews. (Here, I can say that I got those from the interviewers themselves :D). I started preparing three months before the on-campus tests and interviews. I recommend preparing at least three months before the CDC internship process starts. But it’s never too late and never too early. I also recommend practising coding and participating in various coding competitions as early as in 2nd year.
The difficulties I encountered during my preparation were mainly the need for more time and overwhelming resources to complete. I also had to attend classes and do assignments as a part of JP Morgan’s mentorship. We also had to do a case study for about a week at the end, which wasgetting in the way of my preparation.
There are no specific requirements, such as department, CGPA, or other factors, for this position. Additionally, PORs and EAA would not enhance the chances of being selected since I had neither PORs nor EAA. They might help take the interview forward, but anyone would not be rejected based on PORs and EAA.
Anyone interested in finance, problem-solving or software development is ideal for this job. You will be selected for a software or quant role based on the test performance and interviews.
8)What are some of the major points you think would be valid to mention in CV while targeting this profile?
Feel free to reach out to me anytime :)
Carpe dium!

A) Hi, I am Harika, a fourth-year undergraduate student pursuing Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering (B.Tech) at IIT Kharagpur. I got selected for an internship opportunity at Google Hardware for this summer 2024.
A) The company’s selection procedure included one test round and two interview rounds.
Test Round: The test covered topics like Digital Electronic Circuits, Computer Architecture, SoC Design, and VLSI, with questions ranging from basic to advanced. Strong fundamentals can help solve a decent number of questions. Shortlisting for the interview was based on the test, CV, and CGPA.
Interview Round 1: This round focused on Verilog coding. I was asked to implement synchronous and asynchronous flip-flops, latches, and FSM (including the state diagram), and to perform K-map minimization. I also had to swap variables with and without extra variables in Verilog. Since Verilog was mentioned in my CV, many questions revolved around it. Verilog proficiency is crucial for securing a good offer. This round lasted about 50 minutes.
Interview Round 2: The interviewer was friendly and made the conversation comfortable. They focused on my approach and perspective rather than just the answers. The questions were linked to my previous answers or keywords I mentioned. Topics included CMOS basics, PMOS vs. NMOS sizing, power analysis, setup and hold time analysis, and a brief explanation of RAM, ROM, PROM, EPROM, and EEPROM. They also asked about a lab project from my CV, including details about the IC, memory, clock speed, and implementation. Finally, I coded in C++ to check if a string is a palindrome. This round lasted about 40 minutes.
A) Firstly I started my preparation by laying a proper plan on what to be done by referring to all the blogs and contacting seniors. Having Digital as my main aimed profile, I started with my course Digital Electronic Circuits and covered a few other topics like Setup and hold time analysis (very important), Verilog (From YouTube lectures of Prof. Indranil Sengupta), computer architecture (NPTEL) and few other basics on VLSI, SoC design steps, etc. I revised the basics of RC circuits. My main strength was my short notes where I dump all the information I get from various resources in an organized way which always helped me to connect the dots and have a good frame formed. I started solving PYQs and other aptitude questions a few days before the tests.
CDC Dedicated preparation on summer vacation is more than enough to crack a good offer in the core.
I have compiled all the resources and required skills before starting my preparation. Here are some sources I referred to :
CDC Digital — Google Docs
A) I had started my CDC preparation from the start of the summer vacation. CDC Dedicated preparation on summer vacation is more than enough to crack a good offer in the core. As interested in the core, having a strong fundamental idea over all courses will be taken care of in the semester itself.
A) Underconfidence was the factor that made my journey difficult in the beginning. But I started believing in myself and the genuine efforts I put in which helped me achieve this.
A) Many companies have CGPA criteria. For core, it’s always better to maintain a high CGPA to make a good impression. Having an 8.5+ CGPA opens all the doors.
For those who enrolled in the B.Tech course, interviewers are well aware that this internship would be our first major one. So it’s fine if you do not have any core-related major work. Try making some self-projects by inculcating your innovation and good modifications to existing ones. But having an internship/FT/Project related to core always makes us stand out from the crowd in competition.
For those who enrolled in Dual Degrees, they do expect some prior work or experience, So it’s better to have one to have a great conversation about it in the interview.
I didn’t have any Prior internships/FT.
A) The most important advice I received from my seniors is to focus on the basics. Any complex concepts can be built on a strong foundation. Weak fundamentals won’t help, no matter how much you focus on critical and complex topics. A productive summer of preparation is sufficient to be well-prepared.
Regarding performance, the approach matters more than the answer. I found that explaining topics aloud helped me think clearly. When asked a question, don’t rush to respond with the first answer that comes to mind. Analyze the question, break it down to its fundamentals, start framing your response, and connect the dots. Discuss your thought process with the interviewer, as they can guide you if you deviate from the correct path. Thinking aloud ensures you and your interviewer are on the same page.
Lastly, stay calm if you face rejections or delays in getting an offer. You will succeed eventually.
All the very best !!!

Hi, I am Swapnil Yasasvi, a fourth-year undergraduate from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. I will be joining Graviton Research Capital LLP this summer as a Software Engineer Intern.
2) How did you get into Graviton Research Capital LLP? What was the selection procedure?
As a participant in the CDC Internship Program facilitated by the placement cell at IIT Kharagpur, I applied for the Software Engineer position offered by Graviton during the on-campus recruitment drive. Graviton provided two roles: Software Engineer and Quantitative Researcher, with a restriction to choose only one.
The selection process comprised a DSA-based test on Hackerearth, featuring two medium-hard questions. Candidates who completed both questions proceeded to the interview rounds.
The initial interview round included questions on probability and statistics, alongside a hard dynamic programming-based DSA question with some invariance observation.
The second round involved solving a puzzle and delving into computer fundamentals such as operating systems and computer architecture.
During the HR round, I faced typical HR inquiries like why I was interested in joining Graviton, narrating my journey, and outlining my future aspirations. Since I hadn’t specifically prepared for HR questions, I provided spontaneous responses. Towards the conclusion of the HR round, they extended the offer to me.
Ultimately, Graviton selected two candidates for the Software Engineer role and one for the Quantitative Researcher position. I was fortunate to be chosen for the Software Engineer position.
In the lead-up to the CDC internship process, I noticed that Dynamic Programming (DP), Graphs, Trees, and Segment Trees were repeatedly asked in the tests. I diligently worked through the entire CSES problem set for these topics, also went through the AtCoder DP contest, and sought out problems on Codeforces (CF) and AtCoder to solve.
The three months right before the CDC internship process kicks off are super important. If you use them right and plan meticulously you can get good results. In May, I dived into solving DP and graph problems on CF with ratings above 1700, along with Algozenith.Whenever I needed to get the hang of new concepts, I often referred to USACO and cp-algorithms. In June, I dedicated my time to practicing problems on AlgoZenith and LeetCode, with a keen focus on DP, Graphs, Trees, and Segment Trees. Additionally, I tackled problems covering important topics such as string algorithms, Trie, and two-pointers. For linked lists, I primarily practiced from Interviewbit. Furthermore, I started revising Operating Systems using class slides and engaged in solving easy-medium Brainstellar problems.
In July, I focused on revising CS core like OOPs, Computer Architecture, and Computer Networks through class slides. Additionally, I also started working on problems from the GOC CDC series.
So, my main goal was to land an SDE role, and Competitive Programming (CP) is crucial for acing the tests and securing interview opportunities. I’ve been into CP since my second year, but if you’re just starting and your CDC internships are coming up soon, focus on brushing up on your basics first. Spend a week or two on standard data structures/concepts like stacks, queues, priority queues, sets, multisets, and number theory topics like the sieve method, as well as DFS and BFS.
I didn’t have many problems, but I was anxious about making mistakes because of the pressure. To stay calm and collected, I followed my friend’s advice and took some deep breaths right before the interview. Also, it’s crucial to talk to your interviewer. You shouldn’t stay silent for too long without saying anything. I always made sure to share any ideas or small steps in a helpful direction with the interviewer.
Yes, the department you belong to does matter, especially if you’re from a circuital department, you might have a slight advantage. But even if you’re not, you can still improve your Competitive Programming (CP) skills and Dev skills to increase your chances of getting an interview. Also, your CGPA is important. The higher it is, the better your chances, especially for companies like Quadeye and Glean, which shortlist based on CGPA alone.Positions of Responsibility (POR) don’t matter much for Software Development Engineer (SDE) roles. 7) According to you, who should ideally apply for this job?
Individuals interested in a career combining software engineering and finance/quant should consider applying for a role at Graviton Research. The company offers a unique opportunity to work in both fields, using computer science to solve complex financial problems. If you have a passion for technology and a strong understanding of finance/quant, this could be an ideal position for you.
HFTs and many other Day1 companies often don’t even glance at your resume before the interview. They might only check it when they’re shortlisting candidates. During the interview itself, they’ll ask questions related to the job and your skills, regardless of what’s on your resume.
The CDC process, including preparations, tests, and interviews, can be mentally draining, leading to a loss of motivation. To overcome this, I recommend forming a study group to discuss problem-solving approaches and keep track of deadlines. It’s also beneficial to maintain regular communication with peers to gauge your preparation progress. Taking assistance from seniors in reviewing your CV is essential, and don’t hesitate to ask for their guidance.
It’s crucial not to let demotivation affect you. Comparing your progress to that of others may discourage you, but it’s important to stay positive, learn from your mistakes, and focus on improvement for future opportunities.

Hello, I am Malla Dhanraj, a 4 th year undergraduate from the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering enrolled in its Dual degree course. I am from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.I received Data Science internship offer from JM Financial Ltd. for the summer of 2024. I am currently interning at their office in Marol, Mumbai.
2. How did you get into JM Financial Ltd. ? What was the selection procedure?
I got the offer from JM Financial Ltd. through CDC IIT Kharagpur. The Selection Process consisted of the following steps:
Do some projects related to Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Know why you are using some specific algorithms in your projects. Keep your basics strong in Probability, Statistics, Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Keeping your basics strong helps in clearing almost all the rounds. Also learn Data structures and Algorithms this helps a lot in clearing the coding round and practice coding in python (along with any other language you prefer), as python is one of the programming language which is used widely for the data science stuff. For the HR round have a look at the company’s website and try to know about the company as much as you can.
I have decided to aim for the data science roles from the start of my 3 rd year. But I think with something around six months in hand one can have decent knowledge in Data Science field. It is never too late, start as early as possible even if your internship season is nearer don’t be panic, just believe in yourself and continue your process of learning, eventually you will get some internship.
The difficulties I faced while preparing for the Data Science profile is mostly related to mathematical side of Machine Learning algorithms and learning DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) is the other difficulty which I had faced. I overcame the difficulty in understanding mathematical side of Machine Learning by learning the concepts of Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics. To overcome difficulties in DSA, I practiced more problems with different patterns.
As far as I remember there are no specific requirements for Data Science Internship at JM Financial Ltd. Having PORs or EAAs are not that required for Data Science role, but some work experience related to the Data Science field will help in enhancing one’s chances of securing this internship.
Anyone who is really fond of Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics. Also, someone who is interested in analysing and interpreting the data.
For Data Science profile having good projects in CV is a big plus. Some of the major points to mention in CV while targeting this profile are adding all the machine learning/deep learning algorithms used, highlighting the results obtained, highlighting any kind of numbers present in one’s projects/competitions.
I recommend everyone to have a clear understanding of their preferred role in mind and also ensure to have a backup profile. As the internship process is somewhat hectic, try to have a positive mindset throughout the process, don’t stop preparing for your preferred role by looking at few results of internship which did not go in your favour. There will be opportunities in some other companies, just keep on preparing for your dream role you will eventually grab an internship. Wishing you all the best for your internship drive, I hope you receive your dream opportunity !!!

Hello everyone, I am Ayushi, a pre-final year undergrad at IIT Kharagpur enrolled in its B. Tech course of Instrumentation Engineering. I am a boarder of Mother Teresa Hall of Residence and I shall be joining Microsoft India as a Software Engineering Intern this summer.
I got into Microsoft through the Career Development Centre, IIT Kharagpur. The process consisted of an online assessment (in mid-July) and two rounds of interviews (on Day 1) -
a. Online Assessment -
The online assessment was held on Codility and was about an hour long. It consisted of two coding questions of medium-hard difficulty. From what I remember, the first question was to find out the longest symmetric substring from a string of (<,>,?) and the second question required us to use Union-Find. One needed to solve both the coding questions correctly to get through.
b. Technical Round -
Well, this was quite an experience as we were allotted our panels at around 4:30 in the morning. So do keep your sleep schedule flexible to help in times like these. The interviews were held online at Nalanda. In my interview, I was asked the standard ‘Trapping Rain Water’ problem. Initially, I had to give the brute force approach and then optimize it to satisfy the time constraints provided by the interviewer. The key here was to consistently communicate with your interviewer and keep them informed of your thinking process. They can be quite friendly and can help you find the way out if you are stuck somewhere.
c. Technical+HR round -
Soon, after my first interview ended, I got a call for my next interview. The process was similar here. I was asked a question on trees and I was required to present my solution, starting with the brute force approach and ultimately arriving at the most optimized version. For the HR part, the interviewer asked me to briefly describe the project that I found most intriguing. The interview lasted for approximately 45 minutes.
For the coding round, I would suggest starting with DSA as early as possible. Practice problems from Leetcode, Codeforces, GeeksforGeeks, etc or whatever platform you are comfortable with and can keep InterviewBit for the last 1–2 months as it consists of just the right set of questions one requires before the assessments. Participate in CF contests regularly and make it a point to upsolve the questions otherwise it won’t help. (Also you can participate in the contests held by Grimoire of Code as they consist of some quality questions)
For the interview round, one must be thorough with your CV as the interviewer might ask questions about any point they find interesting. You must remain calm and composed throughout the entire process. Even if you are stuck somewhere, there is no need to panic. Communicating with the interviewer can be very helpful in ultimately finding your way to the final answer.
If anyone is aiming for a technical role in CDC, having a thorough knowledge of DSA is essential. I started learning DSA in my second year. To be honest, balancing DSA with your acads is challenging, and there were times when I had to focus solely on academics. However, if you manage your time effectively and are able to learn even one concept in a week, even that is sufficient. Taking small steps is what truly matters.
The major issue I faced during my preparation was finding a clear roadmap with all the necessary resources in one place. There are a plethora of resources available online but choosing from them efficiently is a big task. Talking to seniors who prepared for the same profile last year is the best thing one can do in such situations. Moreover, It was tough to stay motivated and follow the same routine consistently for three months but having a group of friends to discuss doubts and share daily progress made the preparation journey much easier.
For an SDE role, positions of responsibility (PORs) don’t really matter, though they do enhance your CV overall. However, for CDC internships, a higher CGPA can significantly improve your chances of being shortlisted, in addition to your programming skills. Some companies even have a CGPA cutoff in their online assessments, so having a higher CGPA is always advantageous.
Anyone who loves problem-solving, enjoys coding and is interested in development can apply for this internship role.
Including good projects or previous internships in your CV can always be the starting point of discussion with your interviewer. They might simply ask you to skim through one of your projects. Present your work well in your CV and make sure to bolden the key aspects. Be confident in whatever you mention as not being able to explain your own project details can create a really bad impression on the interviewer. For software roles, listing your contest ratings can also be a distinguishing factor.
My main piece of advice would be to make use of these three months wisely. It is all about time management and putting in your efforts consistently. Don’t hesitate to contact your seniors who have gone through the same process last year. They might be the best ones to guide you both on the professional and the personal front. The intern season is both hectic and confusing and might lead you to question your own abilities at times. But remember that if you have put in your time and efforts dedicatedly in the process, it is definitely going to pay off in the end. So just focus on giving your best every time. All the best!!

Hello, I am Pranshul Gupta, a 4th year undergraduate student of the Department of Mathematics enrolled in its Integrated MSc course of Mathematics and Computing.I was offered the role of Algo-Quant Intern at Nomura through the CDC Internship drive.
Nomura first shortlisted students based on their CVs. This was followed by Group Discussions between groups of around 10 students. In my group, we were given a situation and we had to discuss and come up with a solution. The situation was that you have been hired by an IPL Franchise, now you have to think how would you go about identifying the players to bid upon while keeping in mind the upper-cap on the budget. So basically there were primarily two things, how would you structure the team, and how would you ensure you are able to get those players with the given amount you have. The list of students selected for the next round was declared early morning on Day 1 itself. There were 2 rounds of interviews before the HR Round. As for the first round, the interviewer was a very chill guy. He first asked me some questions about myself and my past experiences, which I thought was to make me comfortable. Then he asked me a basic question on Dynamic Programming. I wasn’t supposed to write code for it, just had to explain the solution and how would I implement it. Next, he asked a simple puzzle. I was able to answer it easily. Finally, there was a question on probability. I got stuck in this one, he then gave me a similar problem and we discussed about that and came back to the original problem. Sadly I wasn’t able to solve it. But the interviewer seemed fine with it.
I was then called for the next round in some time. This time there were 2 interviewers. Now, I was appearing for a Quant Interview, and my past experiences did not have anything related to it. One of the interviewers simply asked what all skills do you have that I should hire you. I thought for some time before answering him as properly as possible, as I had already considered the possibility of this kind of question being asked of me. This round again did not require me to code anything. The first question was about a game being played between two players, and I had to find the optimal technique for the first player to ensure a win. We had a long discussion about it, but at the end I couldn’t come up with a proper final solution. The next question was from linear algebra, I was asked to find the value of iota raised to iota, and then what inference I could make from the result.
I was not very hopeful after the second round, but the placecomm told me to wait for some time. I was soon called for the HR Round. He asked me about my past experiences in college, and my expectations from the internship and since I had a shortlist for Intuit which also came on Day 1, he asked me which of the two companies I would prefer to join.
This was mostly the selection process for Nomura, I was given the offer soon after the HR Round.
For quant roles, you need a strong foundation in Maths, primarily Probability and Statistics, puzzles and DSA. I had Prob and Stats course during my Second Year, so I didn’t have to look into it much, you can refer to the notes or go through the Stats110 course and finally solve problems from “50 Challenging Problems in Probability”. In case you get stuck somewhere, there is a playlist on YouTube with the solutions for most of these problems. But do try solving them yourself first. You can also solve BrainStellar Puzzles and Heard on the Street. For DSA, I primarily followed Striver and Love Babbar for learning concepts, solved problems from CSES and InterviewBit, and gave contests on Codeforces.
One important thing while learning these concepts is having discussions with your friends. These discussions helped me a lot in getting a different perspective for tackling any problem and made me realise which topics I need more practice and understanding.
I had started CP in my second year, and though I wasn’t very serious at that time and got involved in other activities on campus, and therefore took a break from it. I properly resumed preparing for this role during the summers after the semester ended. I was able to cover things up as I had some knowledge of DSA from my second year. If you haven’t done CP before, then ideally you should start doing it during/after the winter breaks. This being said, if you begin in summer, then also it is totally possible to learn all the important concepts and and practice them, but it might be a bit difficult and overwhelming. Some companies, mainly HFTs, also ask questions about OOPs, hence if you are targeting them, then you should learn those concepts too. I primarily focussed on DSA, and once I was done with the major part, then I studied OOPs.
As for puzzles, aptitude problems and prob/stats, I did not work on them before as I was quite confident about them. It was during the days before the interviews that I revised those concepts and solved some problems with my friends.
5) What difficulties did you face while preparing for Nomura? How did you overcome them?
The primary problem I faced was the fear of being unable to learn everything properly before the interviews. There were times when I couldn’t solve problems from certain DSA topics or underperformed in contests. Then there were times when I felt exhausted from all the preparation. Whenever I used to feel low, I talked with my parents and batchmates or seniors. The discussions with friends, regarding contests, problems and how the preparations are going, what things are left, and how we can plan out so that we may be able to understand and practice everything well before the coding rounds and interviews, these discussions were significant parts of my CDC Internship preparation journey. This is not a solo journey, there will be times when you need the support of people close to you. Just don’t hesitate and reach out to people whom you believe will help you out. These discussions clarified my current preparation level along with what I had to do and how to do it.
There are no specific requirements for this position, at least for Nomura. HFTs have certain CG criteria and allow only students from certain departments to apply. PORs/EAAs do not help for this role but help during the interviews to begin a conversation between you and the interviewer, which might help you get comfortable during the interview.
In my opinion, there are various things to do in Quant Roles. If you are interested in how different markets work, how strategies are made, the research and the implementation of those strategies then you can consider applying for this role. This role requires you to have a decent knowledge of topics from Maths and Programming.
There are a few things that might increase your chances of getting shortlisted:
Just keep working and growing. Do your best so that you don’t have any regrets at a later stage. Be honest with yourself while preparing for the internships, and seek help from friends/family as and when needed.
One main thing that I and some of my friends observed during the interviews was that many students had good knowledge of a majority of topics, but they weren’t prepared for interviews. Work on your communication skills as well while preparing, unless you can explain what you are thinking, the other person will not be able to understand how well you know things and your thought process while tackling problems. One of the primary reasons I feel I got through in the interviews with Nomura was that I was clearly conveying what and how I was thinking about solving the problems presented. This allowed the interviewers to understand how I think, and I was able to get an idea from their reaction if I was going in the right direction or if I needed to look at the problem in some other way.
Finally, remember that yes, CDC Internship is important, but it is not the end of the world. Do your best and forget the rest. All the best!

Hi Fellas! I am Avi Saraf, a 3rd year undergraduate student of Electrical Engineering. I am currently doing my Summer Internship at Texas Instruments, as an Analog Engineering Intern. I am passionate about hands-on Electronics. I am also excited about the transformation andchanging face of mobility in India.
2) How did you get into Texas Instruments ? What was the selection procedure?
The selection procedure is fairly simple, unlike other companies, which generally involve multiple rounds.
For TI, after the CV submission, there was a written test based on the roles one has applied for. The test was conducted on 17 July 2023. It consisted of 3 sections — Aptitude, Analog, and Digital (since I had applied for Analog and Digital profiles). After shortlisting, a technical interview was conducted on Day 2.
TI had offered 4 profiles — Analog, Digital, Signal Processing, and Embedded. One can apply for at most 2 of them.
It is essential to focus on getting your fundamentals right. The companies do not expect the students to know about advanced jargon but certainly gauge your interest in the domain and clarity in fundamental concepts.TI Analog interviews often revolve around RC circuits — covering concepts such as transient response, steady-state response, frequency response, feedback, op-amps (sometimes), amplifiers, etc. You may be asked to sketch a circuit and estimate voltages/ currents at any given node/ branch. As the interview progresses, the complexity of the circuit may increase -depending on your responses to the questions. You may refer to Himanshu Agarwal’s playlist to practice RC-circuit interview questions. For Dual degree students, the interviews generally are much more rigorous and exhaustive.
4) When did you start preparing for this role and according to you, what is the ideal time for aspirants to begin their preparation?
While I had started approaching seniors in the Spring semester to get an idea about the roles and selection procedures, I started my preparation only in May 2023.
For Analog — the concepts covered in the regular coursework are sufficient. About 1 month is sufficient for refreshing basic concepts and problem-solving, provided one has spent sufficient time in the Analog Electronics course. But, do not worry if you feel that you are not confident about the course contents. Take out some time to watch Prof. Razavi’s lectures on YouTube or read the book if you prefer. About 2 months of focused preparation should be sufficient to cover basic theory and problem-solving if starting from scratch.
For digital — the course contents are not sufficient, and it is expected that students have familiarity with Static Timing Analysis (STA), Hardware description language (eg- Verilog), CMOS logic, and basics of Computer Architecture (a 3rd Year course). You may refer to Prof. Onur Mutlu’s lectures/ slides for Computer Architecture, and Prof. ISG’s NPTEL for Verilog.
I faced some difficulties in keeping a consistent schedule during the vacations since I had other involvements, too. I wanted to cover basics of Power Electronics, for which I did not get sufficient time. However, I prepared short notes for new concepts and revised them before tests. I solved some PYQs from tests conducted in previous years to understand the pattern of questions.
TI is open for circuital departments EE and ECE for all roles. It is open for CSE, MnC, and ISE for select roles. TI does not have a very high CGPS cutoff and does not attach too much importance to your CGPA. A decent CGPA of 8+ should be fine, although it is not rigid. PORs are not considered, but if you have done any projects, it may help during the interview.
If you are among the ones who are still soul-searching to find out which profiles you are made for — worry not, for there are many more like you! An internship is a good opportunity to get first- hand exposure to working in the industry in a role you are passionate about. Remember to be open-minded and explore new domains. TI is a very dynamic organisation having the largest markets in Analog products — which power everyday devices you see around. If you’re excited by what the semiconductor industry offers and are passionate about electronics, you should consider applying for TI.
TI does not focus too much on the CV. However, mentioning any projects you have done in Electronics or related areas would be good. Ensure you are familiar with the project details and have basic working knowledge if it comes up for discussion in the interview.
If you have done any good projects and are passionate, feel free to mention it in the interview — that would surely make a mark! The interviewers are senior engineers at TI, from domains such as Data Converters (ADC, DAC, etc.), Power Products (Converters, Gate drivers, etc), RF, Audio, etc in Analog. For Digital — TI has various teams working on Memory, transceivers, microprocessors, etc. It is always good to strike a conversation in the interview so that the panel can get to know you better.
1. Try getting familiarised with the Industry: Attending PPT will give you a glimpse of the products at the company. When you start appreciating the scale at which the semiconductor industry operates and how it enables the world all around us — you will certainly develop a keen interest. For example — I spoke at length about the semiconductor crisis of 2022–23 (which greatly affected the automotive and consumer electronics industries) about my views during my interview.
2. Make sure to gave good grasp over fundamentals: If you have a good grasp over fundamentals, you are equipped to handle any challenge that maybe given to you. For all roles, basic working knowledge will be required in Signals &amp; Systems, Microelectronics, Digital Electronics, and Control Systems (basic understanding of feedback).
3. Believe in yourself: The internship selection process may feel intimidating at first, but it is important to keep going and have faith in yourself. There’s lots to learn and each one of you will have charted a unique path. Finally, feel free to get in touch in case of any queries (Contact no. — 9051386495).Good Luck!Avi Saraf

Myself Krishna Kolte, a pre-final year undergraduate student from the Electrical Engineering department. I’m a boarder of Patel Hall and I’ll be joining VISA as a software development intern this summer.
2) How did you get into VISA? What was the selection procedure?
I was offered the internship through the Career Development Centre, IIT Kharagpur. The selection process was not as lengthy compared to other companies. It had an online assessment round at Nalanda and upon qualifying, a single interview round, both technical and HR combined.
Online Assessment:
Three questions of medium (Leetcode level) difficulty on the Codesignal platform. I don’t remember the exact questions but there was one question on binary search, one on simple DP and one question on graphs. Though the time given was 30–45 mins, you needed to solve them in 10–15 mins to qualify for the next round.
The interview was conducted by a senior network security engineer at VISA, who was quite frank and helpful during the entire interview. It revolved around projects in my CV and went deeper into their real-life practicality and scalability. Only a single coding question was asked just to check if I could code it efficiently. No HR questions as such, but still it went around 45 minutes.
Honestly speaking, I was not a good competitive programmer back then. But I would suggest trying to participate in contests just to test where you stand at. I was always into web development and did not learn DSA in college. If you are the same as me, try to maximise your learning in the summer break provided. Learn the basics first and then move on to some medium to difficult-level questions.
Focus mostly on the standard questions just to make sure you can solve them at a bare minimum. Once you are comfortable with these questions, move on to some difficult-level questions revolving around the same standard concepts. I feel that questions that require advanced concepts and higher-level mathematics are not usually asked in OAs unless you aim for Day-1,2 companies.
For the interview round, try to have at least one good project that focuses more on backend development. You must know all the ins and outs of it, and it would be better if you have some ideas to improve it further and reflect upon the learnings you gained from the mistakes made in it.
Early beginners are always at an advantage. Start as early as possible because it may seem overwhelming to cover all those DSA concepts in summer break. Even though you are late, try to be calm and compose and practice steadily. There are ample resources available to learn from (YouTube, articles on GFG, problem sheets, etc.) free of cost. Never been a fan of paid courses, but if you are into it, you may.
I realized that I didn’t have much time to prepare everything all at once, so I focused on the basics and tried to solve problems more quickly. It’s discouraging when you can’t solve problems as fast as others around you. However, it’s important to stay positive and learn from your mistakes. Keep your spirits high and fail forward.
For SDE roles, you don’t need PORs or EAAs as such. CGPA might be a factor sometimes, the more the merrier. A decent CV with basic problem-solving skills can land you a good opportunity.
Anyone who likes software development and is ready to work in this field can apply for it.
Good projects with a major focus on the backend part are helpful. Having some experience in development would be better. Highlight the most important features of your project. Try to fill out your CV as much as possible with the relevant information.
Keep practising DSA questions regularly. Even if you solve fewer problems on certain days, it is fine, but don’t be stagnant. Have your CV reviewed by seniors and friends before finalising it. Don’t get disheartened if you don’t qualify for the further rounds or get rejected. I got rejected multiple times until I landed this internship. The process seems so unpredictable many times. Have good friends around whom you can speak to, trust me, it helps a lot.
Remember, there is always something better waiting for you. Good Luck!
