Nailed the interview, still rejected
Just had the BEST interview ever – super positive and encouraging! But got rejected. Interviewer said I was the most prepared, knew it was a full-time role (unlike others), and loved my answers. One of my questions was even called "the best ever asked!" He showed me around, said I was exactly what they wanted, and would get back by Friday. I was so hyped! Then today, I got the rejection email. No reason given, just "went with someone else." Feels bad when your best isn't enough. Anyone else been there? How'd you cope?

Interview Questionnaire 

2 Questions

  • Q1. Coding questions on data structures and oops
  • Q2. Various questions on cv, projects, por's, etc

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Questions were normal like any other aptitude or coding tests.
Tips: Time given was enough for other sections but you need to hurry a little in aptitude part.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 60

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The questions were basic, some where well known like reversing a link list using recursion, designing of car parking lot using concept of oops, find tree height/diameter, etc.
Tips: 1. They ask you to write complete code on paper. This sometimes turn out to be a challenging task when you don't have compiler to correct you on basic things. Practice writing codes on paper.
2. They surely ask questions on oops, like polymorphism, inheritance, etc. besides their definition, also practice writing sudo codes to explain them

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Mainly i was asked questions on my internship experience and POR's.
Tips: They will try to grill you on some questions like 'Why we should hire you?', have a clear reason in your mind. Your other answers should not contradict with your reasons

General Tips: I don't know about other colleges but HP recruits small number of students from my university. Coding questions were average level and can easily be tackled. Many students were rejected after HR interview so don't take it lightly. They do grill you in a very good style if they are in doubt about your selection
Skills: willingness, Enthusiasm, Coding skills, Aptitude skills
