Experience:

This experience details the placement journey for a student from VJTI Mumbai who was hired by Fractal AI. The process included an online test followed by online interview rounds.

Online Test:
Fractal AI conducted an online test that heavily focused on Python and also included multiple-choice questions on Database Management. Shortlisted candidates were notified within a day.

Online Interviews:
The interviews were conducted online. While some companies might complete the process in one interview, others take two to three rounds, typically including a technical and an HR round. The candidate mentioned that interviewers asked questions based on their resume. They also inquired about the candidate's knowledge of Fractal AI, the company's bond period, and its working model (which was hybrid). Other common HR questions about willingness to relocate and plans for higher studies were also part of the discussion. The candidate noted that despite a challenging market with low hiring rates, they were selected.

Overall Experience:
The student had a CGPA of just above 7.2-7.3, which they considered "okay" but potentially below the minimum for some companies. They accepted the role, balancing a potentially average package with the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI-related projects, which they found more engaging than typical data entry or DBMS work at financial institutions.
