      Interview

      3 rounds were there : written test, technical round, HR round...written was conducted by aspiring minds..took 2 weeks to get the results and very next day after result was called for interview. Had to wait for long since 500 odd students from 36 selected colleges from blore were present on that day. My turn came after 2 hrs, young lady took the technical round... it was friendly..starting with tell me abt urself, couple of c++ basic definitions,asked abt the mentioned qualities in resume apart from technical..was k..then asked me to wait for a while...I thought then i was through this round...and in HR it was easier than technical...again tell atb urself..blah blah for 2,3 min,then only just plain talk ..i guess he tested my communication skills..duration was only for 5 min n tecnical hardly 10 min..n I knew i had done well..n after 3 weeks of anxious waiting finally placememt department announced the list of selected students n i was one among them...
