EY Software Developer interview questions

The selection process included 3 rounds. First an aptitude quiz, second Technical interview and finally an HR round. I am sharing with you my experience attending this process. The first round was an online quiz which had three sections – verbal, logical reasoning and technical. Th first two sections are on the usual lines, while the technical round had further sub-divisions such as OS, OOP, DBMS etc. The key to getting through this round is time management. We had about 95 questions to be answered in about 90 minutes (each section was separately timed). The technical questions required understanding of the whole concepts. For example there were questions based on a large relational database schema. The key to answering these questions were to use common sense rather than working out the whole problem. I found the section on DBMS especially difficult, since I couldn’t brush up my basics on that topic. All those who are aspiring to get into some of the top companies – Google, Microsoft, SAP, etc.. – brush up your basics before you go for the selection process. After clearing the first round, we had Technical Interview round. Since, the results had come by 7pm, they wanted to interview atleast 4 people the same day. I volunteered to be one of them, and as luck would have it, all 4 of us got selected. I am detailing on the contents of the interview (it could be a bit dry to read, but worthwhile). The following is an explanation of how I faced the interview. Well, everyone does it differently and would have different experience and insight about the same. This is to give you a broad idea about how the interview would be and what according to my experience was the key to give your best.
