2 tests launched from your Profile tabs to verify self-declared experiences and academic projects.
Jobs Screening
1 test launched during job applications to satisfy initial recruiter filters for campus drives.
Calendar schedules
7 tests or interview rooms configured by recruiters and scheduled on your calendar grid.
Section A: Profile Verification Tests (2 Exams)
Add credentials in your Profile workspace and initiate verification to append verification marks to your CV:
1. Experience Technical Vetting Assessment
An independent exam option allowing candidates to verify work experience by passing an AI proctored test when supervisor contact is unavailable.
- Go to **Profile → Career** tab and locate the unverified experience card.
- Click the **Assess Experience** button on the card.
- Grant camera and microphone device sharing permissions in your browser.
- Pass the WebRTC device and network diagnostic speed test.
- Complete the proctored conceptual assessment containing 15 stack-specific MCQs and 1 coding puzzle.
- Submit your answers. The AI engine grades your responses in under **60 seconds**.
- Achieving the passing score marks the work experience as
VERIFIED ✓on your profile.
2. Project Technical Vetting Assessment
An AI assessment validating the authenticity and complexity of technical projects listed on a candidate's profile.
- Go to **Profile → Projects & Activities** tab and click **Add Project**.
- Provide project title, technology tags, description, and public code repository URLs.
- Click the **Assess Project** button displayed on the project card.
- Review the test guidelines and calibrate your webcam frame.
- Take the 25-minute technical assessment covering coding syntax, execution paradigms, and architecture patterns matching your project's technology stack.
- Submit your results. Once passed, the project card updates with a green verification tick mark.
Section B: Placement Job Application Test (1 Exam)
Completed when applying to active corporate recruitment drives to clear eligibility thresholds:
3. Proctored Coding Screening Round
A sandboxed, time-locked programming exam checking algorithmic aptitude, correctness, and speed under strict proctoring guidelines.
- Navigate to the **Jobs** tab and browse active campus placement drives.
- Select a drive, review your eligibility status, and click **Start Screening Test**.
- Accept the proctoring consent agreements and calibrate your camera, microphone, and screen share.
- Click **Enter Test Workspace**. The browser initiates fullscreen mode automatically.
- Complete 2-3 structured algorithmic coding challenges inside the sandboxed code editor.
- Click **Run Testcases** to test inputs, then click **Submit Solution** for final evaluations.
- Exiting fullscreen or switching browser tabs displays a red alert warning. Exceeding **3 warnings** terminates the session and auto-submits your code instantly.
Section C: Calendar Configured Schedules & Rooms (7 Exams/Rooms)

- Duration: 30 Minutes.
- Format: Video grid conference with speaker queue.
- Syllabus: Analysis of case studies, business problems, or technical topics.
- Proctoring: Moderator proctored, speaker activity logs.
10. Project Presentation Room
A virtual staging workspace where candidates present their slide decks or project software builds to a grading panel.
- Duration: 25 Minutes.
- Format: Document presentation viewer, whiteboard tools, screen share.
- Syllabus: Project demo, tech stack design overview, structural code explanations.
- Proctoring: High-resolution screen sharing capture, canvas drawing logs.
FAQs & Troubleshooting
Q: How does the proctoring tool track tab-switch violations during exams?
A: The browser workspace utilizes window focus state listeners. If a candidate resizes their window, clicks out of fullscreen mode, or switches browser tabs, the system registers a violation, logs it in the telemetry database, and increments your warning counter.
Q: Can I retake a profile verification assessment if my first attempt fails?
A: Yes. Vetting exams for projects or experiences allow up to **3 attempts**. However, to prevent random guessing, the platform enforces a **3-day cooldown** period between attempts.
Q: What happens if my supervisor rejects my email verification request?
A: Your experience status is marked as `REJECTED`. Review the details for correctness. You can edit the experience card under **Profile → Career**, update the description or supervisor email, and click "Send Verification" again to dispatch a new request.
Q: How are audio responses analyzed during the Speaking/Communication test?
A: The system streams your voice data to an AI oral grading model. It computes pronunciation similarity, grammar consistency, sentence structure, and vocabulary diversity. It requires a clear, quiet environment without background talking.
Q: Why did my placement screening test show "Timeout" while compiling?
A: The sandboxed execution environment enforces a **5-second runtime limit** per compilation to prevent infinite loops. Review your code logic to ensure all loops contain valid exit criteria and re-run.
Q: How do timezone offsets affect my calendar-scheduled recruiter rounds?
A: The schedules are automatically translated from the corporate panel's corporate zone into your local browser's timezone. Ensure your system clock matches your actual location to avoid joining lobbies late.
Q: Can I use secondary monitors during proctored coding assessments?
A: No. Secondary displays are prohibited. The browser request requires sharing your primary screen viewport. Opening secondary monitors triggers display telemetry warnings and results in immediate session lockouts.
