Kantar visited our campus for software developer role and senior analyst role. I appeared for Software Developer role. The technical test was of two hours on MyAnatomy platform.

Technical Test:

1. Questions were on Aptitude(it was time based for each question, and was tough), it included quantitative reasoning and data interpretation.
2. Next section was on analyzing comprehensions, like what you infer from it, what option supports the fact in comprehension, etc.
3. Next sections were on C++ output questions, C/C++ fundamentals, DBMS basics, DS/Algo MCQs.
4. MCQs on OOPs were also there.
5. There was one coding question. Given two arrays A and B, find if B is the subsequence of A. The approach was also asked, so I explained it very properly.

Tip: Do write the most optimal clean code with comments. Write the time complexity and space complexity.

Only 4 students were selected for the interview. My interview was on the same day, others had it on the other day.
