It was a proper interview . the first interview as completely technical.the second interview was tech + hr. The interviewers both the time were very professional and friendly. If you don't know some answers they will give you a hint.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Coviam (Chennai) in Aug 2019
Interview
Coviam is one of those companies which has very extensive interview process. They have 2 technical interviews and sometimes a 3rd HR interview as well. I was from SRM University, Chennai and was placed for a CTC of 7.5 lacs.
The interviews are generally very long. My first interview went for about an hour and the second one went on for about 2.5 hours.
It is a Java based company so its better if you are well versed in OOPS concepts. The interview is purely based on your resume. I put forward my interest in Java so my questions were based on that. The interview is more like a hands on test rather than vocal. You can take your good 10 minutes to think about your answer. I was started on Strings and Collections Framework.
If shortlisted after 1st interview, 2nd interview is more specific based on how your 1st interview went. I was tested more deep on String, String Buffer, and more OOPS concepts. Also it included some riddles, and logical reasoning.
If you clear both interviews and if there is an HR interview that would be merely a formality.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There are 2 doors, behind them are "HELL" and "HEAVEN", you don't know which is which. There are 2 guards in front of each door. One of them always speaks the truth while the other always tells lies. You have to ask only a single question to any one of them and find the door of HEAVEN.
