Recruitment Process Overview Aptitude Round Duration: 1.5 hours Method: Online Assessment at JECRC Foundation Focus Areas: Reasoning, Verbal Ability, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Numerical Aptitude, and Core Subjects (Computer Networking, DBMS, OS) The test covered a wide variety of questions evaluating logical thinking, language skills, and fundamental technical knowledge. The results were declared within 10 minutes, and I was selected for the next round. Coding Round Duration: 1 hour Method: Online Coding Platform Number of Questions: 2 Q1. Sliding Window Maximum – Array based problem (Hard Category) C++ #include using namespace std; class GFG { public: vector maxSlidingWindow(vector& nums, int k) { int n = nums.size(); dequedq; vectorans; for(int i = 0 ; i < n ; i++) { // remove if it goes out of the window while(!dq.empty() && dq.front() <= i - k){ dq.pop_front(); } while(!dq.empty() && nums[dq.back()] <= nums[i]){ dq.pop_back(); } dq.push_back(i); if(i >= k - 1) ans.push_back(nums[dq.front()]); } return ans; } }; Q2. Valid Parenthesis – Stack & String based (Easy and frequently asked problem) C++ #include using namespace std; class GFG { public: bool isValid(string s) { //TC = O(N) SC = O(N) cz uaing stack stack s1; for(int i = 0; i < s.size(); i++){ if(s[i] == '[' || s[i] == '(' || s[i] == '{'){ s1.push(s[i]); } else{ if(s1.empty()){ //edge case return false; } else if(s1.top() == '[' && s[i] == ']'){ s1.pop(); } else if(s1.top() == '(' && s[i] == ')'){ s1.pop(); } else if(s1.top() == '{' && s[i] == '}'){ s1.pop(); } else{ return false; } } } if(s1.empty() == 1){ return true; } return false; } }; Both problems tested algorithmic thinking and problem-solving ability. I managed to solve both and moved to the next stage. Communication Round (AI Mock) Mode: Online(You can give this round anywhere according to your availability) Type: Non-Elimination (But preparation recommended) This round tested spoken English using AI-based evaluation, broken into the following sections: Reading – Read 8 sentences aloud Repeating Sentences – Repeat 16 audio sentences Jumbled Sentences – Reconstruct and read 10 jumbled sentences Q&A – Answer 24 simple questions (one/two-word answers) Story Telling – Listen to a story twice and retell it in 30 seconds Open Questions – Answer HR-style questions in 60 seconds The round tested pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, and overall communication clarity.
