Phew. I have been placed at Tekion Corp :)

My final college exams ended on 2025-08-20 and I have been placed on 2025-09-01. It couldn’t have been any better. There was no overlap between my academics and my hiring process.

Shortlisting

It was an on-campus opportunity and to my shock I was shortlisted.

I was not getting shortlisted in other companies because of my CGPA being 8.54

So I wasn’t even searching for my name in shortlists. I was thinking I won’t be shortlisted this soon (in August end) only 9+ CGPA people will be shortlisted which was actually true for the most part.

This was the only company I was shortlisted for till now (August end)

But then Charchit messaged me ‘All the best for Tekion’ and only then I realised I had been shortlisted

Thank you Charchit

Hiring process

Online Assessment

On 2025-08-24 I had to go through the Tekion Online Assessment along with 241 students from all 4 campuses (52 from my campus)

Then on 2025-08-26 Online Assessment result was revealed and 17 students were shortlisted for interviews (2 from my campus)

First Round

Data structures and Algorithms Round

  • Graph - NetworkDelay problem
  • Number of distinct elements in subarray of size k

I went to our college’s lab complex for interview

Round was scheduled for 1000-1100 but for some reason mine was rescheduled for 1200-1300

Second Round

After reading all the Interview Experiences for Tekion I was expecting Low Level Design round. I had even bought a course for 399 and studied from it.

But to my surprise the interview was based on frontend which was later converted to LLD round coz I didn’t know jackshit frontend

Round was from 1600 till 1700

After this round I had lost hope of going through to the HR round.

I was returning from lab complex to hostel having lost all hope of progressing further

Reached my room and was about to change from formal to casual clothes

Then I got an email and my HR round was scheduled from 1930 to 2000

Third Round

HR Round.

Questions around my personal projects and group projects.

Even said Hala Madrid to my interviewer lol

Result

On 2025-09-01 Interview results were revealed and I was selected for Tekion Corp along with 2 others

Harsh broke this news to me. Thanks Harsh

So it went like this:

  • 241 Online Assessment (52 from my campus)
  • 17 Interviews (2 from my campus)
  • 3 Selected (1 from my campus)

And to think that this was the only company I was shortlisted for.

One chance, BANG SIIIIIUUUUUUU
