Round 1 (Online Test)

After completing the registration process, students were allowed to enter the labs one by one, based on their batch numbers and assigned timing slots. Once inside, I received my credentials: a username and password. With these in hand, I logged in and began my online exam. The exam lasted for one hour.

After completing my exam, I left the lab. There was some time to wait for my result as exams were being conducted simultaneously for different slots. After waiting for an hour, I received my result on my phone via a WhatsApp group message. It stated that I had cleared my online test and was shortlisted for the next round. I felt extremely happy and excited for the upcoming round.

After being shortlisted for the next round, I assumed it would be conducted the following day, as there were still many batches remaining for the online test. However, I stayed back in college with my teachers, who appreciated my achievements and boosted my confidence for the upcoming round. As I was heading home, I received a message informing me that the next round, the group discussion, was going to be conducted on the same day. I immediately turned back halfway through my journey.

Now, it’s the middle of my final year in engineering college, and I received a notification from my college’s WhatsApp group that Softenger India Pvt Ltd is coming for campus recruitment. The recruitment drive is scheduled for the next day. As soon as I arrived at college, our faculty began advising us to prepare for the tests and interviews. This recruitment event marks the culmination of our campus placement activities.

From that day onward, we all started searching for interview questions and what to expect in the HR final interview round, among other things.

Now, as for the rounds to be conducted for the recruitment:

1. Online Aptitude Test
2. Group Discussion
3. HR Interview

Campus Recruitment Day:

The day of the campus recruitment finally arrived. However, just before it commenced, a Google Form was circulated across all college groups inviting students from other colleges to participate in the drive. Fortunately, we had already filled out the form with all the necessary details.

The day of the campus recruitment began with the requirement to be present at the college by 9 a.m. I woke up early, quickly brushed up on some basic concepts, and got ready for college. Upon reaching the college at exactly 9 a.m., I noticed many students had already gathered at the destination. I assumed the process had already begun, so I joined the crowd. However, I soon realized that even the college doors were not open yet.

To pass the time, I relaxed with some water. When I asked some of the other students why they were standing there, they informed me that we needed to register ourselves using a Google Form. I mentioned that I thought we had already completed this form, but it turned out there was another form for reporting purposes. I scanned and filled out the reporting form and received a batch number, indicating that we were required to attempt an online test.
