4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: This year, there was an actual resume shortlist since there was no group-discussion round and therefore, a lot of students didn't make it through to the shortlist.
Tips: A decent 'consult resume' should be enough to get shortlisted
Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: There were four rounds of interviews - the first one was just a screening round where I was asked to explain about my projects, internships and extra-curriculars with some basic HR questions in between.
The second round was taken by the VP of Business Development and was to gauge how genuinely I am interested in working for CleanMax Solar. There were few 'trap-questions' like 'What are the things that you are good at but hate doing?', 'Tell me about an instance when you failed at something',etc. to test if I'll be a good cultural fit for the company and suitable for the work profile being offered. Also, I was asked about one of the courses that I had mentioned on my resume with a few follow-up questions as well.
The third round of interview was with the Managing Director of the company, which again had a mix of technical and HR questions. There were questions about my family background, the places I have been to, my view on the solar sector growth in India, my long-term goals, internships, instances where I organized some event, etc. The interview was chilled out to the extent that there was a short discussion about having a pretty girlfriend vs. having a smart one :P Also, he was quite impressed by my systems engineering minor.
The fourth and last round lasted only for 5 mins where I was extended the offer and was told about my responsibilities, job location, etc
Tips: They are looking for people who are genuinely interested in the Business Development profile and have the ability to deliver accordingly
Skills: Interest In The Job, Clear Communication

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: It was a resume shortlist and there wasn't any test.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: There was no GD. It was a direct interview.
They first asked me about myself and I had to talk about all the things that I wrote onn my resume (PORs, Internships, etc).
I had a pretty low CG but my PORs helped me balance that and they didn't ask any question regarding my CG.
Then they asked questions like Why ICICI?, etc. - the typical HR questions.
I talked to them about courses that I did in analytics and Finance.
Next they asked me two questions:
1) If you are the CEO of an insurance company and 1% of your portfolio was in Protection. How would you increase it to 5% provided all required data of the competitors is available?
2)If 100 insurance products were sold in a particular month and 3 months later, IT reported that 150 products were sold. How would you verify that this is the actual number?
Tips: Make sure you have enough on your resume to talk about. POR's, Good internships, OR/Analytics/Finance courses will help a lot.
