I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Persistent Systems (Nashik) in Aug 2019
Interview
They conducted MCQ exam.
Those we scored high marks were promoted for higher package and others who satisfied the criteria were selected for base package.
Higher package students were sent for the coding round.
None of them cleared so they were sent for base package again.
Now all are at the same level. First technical round was there. Those who performed good were sent for HR and others were rejected. Those who performed really good were sent for higher technical package. If one satisfies the second technical round then they are promoted to high package as well.
That is even if you are selected for base, you can get higher package too
K = foo("Example");
/* K calculates the length of the string passed and puts the integer in a random position in the string.
Here,let's say: K = Exam7ple
/*
OriginalString = oof(k)
//oof returns the original string
//Q: Write the oof function.
/*
Solution:
Calculate the length and decrement it.
Find this integer in the string and delete it.
Drawback: If there are multiple " 7", we can't get the right solution.
They said this is correct.
