Roles
LTI usually hires for three different roles for freshers. They’re marked as levels. Until last year, they had Levels 1, 2, and 3. This time, however, they introduced a new level 0.
LTI was only hiring for levels 0, 1, and 2 at our college this time around.
Hiring Process
You first register at their portal, and upon selection, they release a list of eligible candidates for the hiring process. The entire process consisted of a few standard rounds.
Aptitude and Reasoning
The first round, like every other company, was an MCQ-based aptitude, logic, and reasoning round. I’d rate the questions easy to medium. If you’re preparing for any competitive exams, you should be able to breeze through these questions. It was important to score well in this round as all the rounds would be tallied into mapping your levels (L0, L1, and L2) upon selection.
Also, quite a lot of candidates were eliminated after this round.
Communication Round
This was the second round of the process and it was a non-elimination round. It was however compulsory to attend, and you only had to clear some certain minimum threshold to advance further in the process.
There were English proficiency tests that included basic grammar, reading, and listening exercises. The system would read out a small paragraph, and you’d be asked a few questions from there. Some exercises had you fill in appropriate grammatical words to make meaningful sentences.
While compulsory to take, this round wouldn’t be tallied into your average performance though. You only had to appear clear with some certain score.
Coding Round
Then comes probably the most important round of the hiring process: the coding round. It was crucial because the level that you’re mapped with upon selection is directly dependent on the number of coding questions you can fully solve.
There were two coding questions, each with some 10 test cases. The first was comparatively easy: it was a string question. The second one was a dynamic programming question. I could solve the first completely. My second solution however only passed 3/10 test cases.
A few days later, the results were declared, and I’d moved forward with the process.
