Persistent recruitment process consists 4 rounds,
Persistent on line test has 60 questions in 60 minutes,
A pool campus was conducted where our college also participated along with 11 other colleges and everyone was thrilled to face persistent as it is one of the fast developing companies and is very good to work with. The fact that we were going to tested mainly upon technical also thrilled us a lot.
The whole recruitment procedure was divided into 1 aptitude round , 2 technical interviews ,1 HR round.
Persistant ROUND 1: APTITUDE ROUND
It was less aptitude round but more technical round. It consisted 60 question 60 minutes an online test on software developed by persistent only (Testmate).

Having done this, A problem statement was given based on file handling and we were told to write the code for it in 10 min.
After this a topic was given and we were told to write a passage on it “ India a land of Opportunities”.
The results for this round was declared at the end of the day and about 42 students cracked it to face the chain of interviews on the second day. Even i cleared it and it was a great feeling of clearing the apti after 3 unsuccessful attempts in Aptitude rounds. Now,I had decided to get the best from dis opportunity.
