What was the procedure of the placement that took place? (Shortlisting criteria, coding or aptitude test, number of interviews)
The Axis placement procedure involved filling out a registration form, followed by an online assessment (OA) consisting of three sections. In the first section, there were 60 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), with four sub-sections covering general aptitude, English, technical, and another category. The second section focused solely on coding, featuring a single easy-level question. The third section was personality-based, comprising general questions, and had a time limit of 30 minutes. This multi-sectioned approach aimed to assess various skills, including technical proficiency, problem-solving in coding, and personal attributes.

Tell us about the HR interviews, if any, specifying the number of rounds and questions asked.
During the interview with Axis, my background was in development, rather than data science. The strength of my well-crafted resume became a focal point of the discussion. The points highlighted in my resume coincided with the expertise sought by the interviewer, leaving little room for specific inquiries. I impressed the interviewer with my meticulous research on the company before the interview. Providing insights such as the monthly increase in Axis mobile application downloads showcased my dedication. Subsequently, the conversation shifted to basic machine-learning questions, which I answered confidently and accurately. Despite encountering an unfamiliar SQL concept—a case clause similar to a switch case in C++—my logical approach was appreciated, and the interviewer was satisfied with my response. Overall, the interview highlighted the value of a comprehensive resume, research, and adaptability in showcasing my qualifications for the role.
