Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Should have a good CGPA (mainly), good extra and Co-curriculars. Internships also matter. It inot a resume but rather a customized ITC form also asking questions about a range of issues.
Tips: Maintain good content about projects. Also answer the question about "Mind over Matter" well

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: A situation was given where we had to rank the characters in a given situation based on their actions
Tips: Don't just rattle out your order. Try to build a framework or atleast contribute to it. Then build consensus. Do not get flustered if you are not able to start or do not get to conclude

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They went the entire resume. They read all the answers to the ITC form that they had asked us to fill. I tried to explain all the projects even projects not in their domain of interest and was pretty well versed in them and kept the conversation going. My panel though was brilliant and was genuinely encouraging
Tips: Be perfectly prepared from the resume and HR questions given as part of the ITC form. Technical ability and projects are valued

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Questions about why I want to join the company and whether I would actually join the company. I told them that ITC was my only choice due to my interest. Was a bit gruelling
Tips: Be sure of why you want to join the company. Be genuine, the panel want genuine answers.
