Round 1: Online Test (90 minutes) Test was taken on cocubes.com 96 people appeared for the online round. The test was quiet easy, it had 2 sections: Aptitude Test(60 questions – 60 minutes) It had aptitude questions ranging from permutation combinations, time distance, similar image identification, syllogism and very easy verbal questions. Tip: Solve quants first as it needs a little more time as compared to verbal and logical. Try to solve everything as there is no negative marking. Resources: indiabix.com (last moment revision) and RS Agarwal book is enough. Coding Test(2 questions – 30 minutes) Both the questions were functional problems, so we just had to return the modified output. I don’t remember Question 1 correctly although it was memory based basically a memory location in form of array is given we had to just perform 1 or 2 if else checks and the problem was done. Question 2 was to sort a 2-d array. The edge cases were weak and neither did they expect an optimised approach. Simple brute-force approach did solve both the problems easily. Tip: Don’t focus for optimizations in the code, whatever approach comes first in mind apply it and solve it, try to solve both the questions, although some people who solved one were also shortlisted for the next round. Resources: According to me, geeksforgeeks.org only is enough not just for Barclays but for any company that visits your campus. (Don’t go to any other website if your placements are 1 or 2 months away, stick to geeksforgeeks) Round 2: Technical + HR Interview (45-60 minutes) After round 1, exactly 38 students were shortlisted for the interview process. There was a pre-placement talk conducted before the interviews to inform us about what the company does and all such stuffs. Each person had to give his technical interview separately in different interview rooms.

There was 1 online assessment, which had some MCQ questions and 2 coding problems. First coding problem was easy based on array implementation, and the second one was also easy-medium on tree implementation.
