4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Rigorous questions on courses mentioned in the resume.
HR round has standard HR questions. Their HR interview was just a filter to see if the guys that qualified the technical round were whole hearted about getting into the company
Tips: When given the opportunity to ask questions, get to know about the company profile and what will be the candidate's role if selected. If you are looking just at core, then give the tech interview more importance. You should have a solid course or project that you can elaborate about to make an impression
General Tips: If you fall short of time, revising the courses you are most interested/ your best projects is more helpful than doing over the basic 1st year courses. A vital quality to a placement aspirant would be a relaxed state of mind. The last thing an employer would want is his employee succumbing to stress.
Skill Tips: Start early around mid-September. Structure the preparation. Make clear demarcation between core and non-core preparation, follow the time table strictly. Keep track aspects covered/uncovered. (prep for tech, HR, aptitude, GD etc).It is easy to lose track of all this stuff. List down core companies you want to get in, make a check on the relevant courses/projects and make resume accordingly.
Skills: Automotive Related Knowledge
