The selection process had four rounds in total. It started with an aptitude round conducted by CoCubes Test. The results were declared after few hours. People who qualified the aptitude round were called for the Pseudo Code Round. CoCubes also conduct this round. Selected people had to sit for the technical interview round. The qualified people called for the HR interview.
1) THE APTITUDE ROUND (CoCubes):-
This test has three parts, it have 16 questions from General Aptitudes and 16 questions from Reasoning. Total 32 questions. Time allotted is 50 minutes. The aptitude questions basically came from Speed , Time & Work, Probability, Pipe & Tank, Train etc. and the reasoning questions comes from Encoding & Decoding, True False Logic, Relation, Series etc.
After completing this part, you have to give an Essay Test. They will provide the topic. Topics are not very complex. My topic was “Is it necessary to limit number of students per Teacher to improve education quality”. The minimum word limit is around 140 and maximum limit is 184 words.
PS: Try to avoid use of Backspace and spelling & grammatical mistakes in the essay writing.
** (From Total student around 110, around 45 students are being shortlisted after this round.)
2) PSEUDO CODE ROUND: -
This round is consists of 25 questions. To be answered within 25 minutes. The 25 questions divided in two parts.
Part 1: First 10 questions based on Data Structure Concepts. The questions covers theoretical as well as coding concepts. Topics like Time Complexity, B Tree, Stack, Queue etc.
Part 2: The next 15 questions based on pure pseudo coding. A code block with logic will be provided you have evaluate it to get the output or find the error.
However, you can attend any of the part at any moment. If anyone is little, bit weak in Data structure I would like to suggest that try to solve the pseudo code part first as the time is very short. Because if you first stuck at data structure your time will fly away.
** (From 45 students, 20 students are being shortlisted for the Interview rounds.)
