Almost 1800 ppl attended the test. But only 75 cleared the test.
Next round was GD. Most of the GD topics were general topics relating to Internet & it's effect etc. My GD topic was "Internet makes new relationships but destroys family relationships". From GD only 19 selected for final interview.
The interview was mainly HR. For some they asked technical questions. But simple ones, like basics of OS, SQL, DBMS, etc.. No tough questions. To some they asked to write SQL queries based on certain conditions (queries using desc,count etc). They are just looking for ur confidence level in interview. Tats all abt the test pattern of Cambridge Solutions.
