Interview Experience of AURIGA IT, Jaipur

Role - Associate Software Engineer

Package - 3.7 LPA
Experience - Fresher (Pursuing MCA)

I applied through college. It have 3 rounds.

1st round (Written Test)
It was very easy, having 3 coding questions, you have to write the code in any language you want. They were checking your problem solving skills.

After clearing this round, they called us in the office for F2F interview. It was one on one interview.
He didn't asked much from my resume, basically they want to check your analytical and problem solving skills, how you solve problems, what approach you use, how you think?

2nd Round (Technical) 
Interviewer was very cool and friendly, glanced my resume (impressed) then started -
First he asked all 3 questions from my written test, asked to explain and optimize the code more, give better solution. I did it.

Then he gave me a puzzle(1), sort of mathematical, basically checking my analytical skills, i solved it, then he further modified the same puzzle, i stuck a bit, but he gave me a hint, and i solved it after some discussion.
Puzzle - A cage have some Chickens(C) and Rabbits(R), total head count and total legs count are given, find number of chickens and number of  rabbits.
        Modification - Find the relation between C and R, to find the answer without solving.

Then he gave me one more puzzle(2), again checking the problem solving skills. I solved it, then he ask me to optimize it, i did it after some discussion.
Puzzle -  N balls are there, and a scale(Taraju) and 1 ball out of N balls, weights heavier than the other, How would you find the minimum number of comparisons required to find that odd ball?
     (although i gave him O(log n) approach, but he still asked me for further optimization).

Then he asked me about Tic-Tac-Toe game, and asked me to design the algorithm for that game (i.e., how would you implement it in code), he just wanted to see the approach. I gave him the approach, then he further asked me to optimize it more, i optimized it.

After that, he gave me one more puzzle(3) and i was asked to solve it, i solved it easily.
         Puzzle -  You don't have a watch, instead two ropes are there, each burns for 1 hour(60 mins),  having varying density (means you can't say that half of rope burns in 30 mins), you are required to calculate the 45 minutes. Do whatever you want with the rope.

Then he asked some deep questions from one of my project(Harry Potter's invisible cloak), he loves that one, i think he wanted to check whether i have developed it or not. I gave all the answers and satisfied him.

Then some casual conversations, He was very happy from me, and asked whether i have some questions. Then told about the company, and recommended me for the next round.

3rd Round (HR) 
The director of the company took this round, he was very friendly and cool guy, just having some friendly conversations with me, talking about my life, he was writing down some keywords out of my talks, then asked some questions from that keywords. It was pretty easy, just be friendly, calm, talk to him, and keep a smile. and its ok, if you are not fluent in english. :)

My F2F interview took up to 2 hours. (bit tiring :p)

Verdict - On the spot Selected !
:)
