Which companies hire the most freshers in India?

TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, and Accenture collectively hire over 150,000 freshers per year in India. Their interviews focus on aptitude, basic data structures, and HR rounds, with less emphasis on competitive coding than product companies like Flipkart or Razorpay.

How different is a FAANG interview from a Service IT interview?

Service IT interviews (TCS, Infosys) are primarily aptitude tests, verbal ability, and one or two HR rounds. FAANG interviews (Google, Amazon, Microsoft) require 3–5 rounds of competitive DSA, system design, and behavioral interviews. Most candidates need 3–6 months of dedicated preparation for FAANG.

What is the typical interview process at Indian product companies like Razorpay or Zerodha?

Indian product companies typically have 4–6 rounds: an online coding assessment, 1–2 DSA rounds, a system design round, an engineering manager round, and an HR round. Behavioral questions follow the STAR method. Preparation time is 6–12 weeks.

How do consulting interviews (McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte) differ from tech interviews?

Consulting interviews have two main components: fit questions (leadership, teamwork) and case studies (market sizing, profitability analysis, business strategy). There is no coding. The evaluation framework is completely different from tech: verbal fluency and structured reasoning matter most.
