5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Resume shortlist was on the basis of CGPA. A minimum criterion of 8.0 was observed. Though certain people with CGPA above 8.0 were not selected
Tips: Try to include a good combination of PORs and Previous Interns or Projects
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: We were given a list of 15 items which we had to arrange on the basis of the importance in the scenario of a plane crash survival. It was a good GD. I ended up starting and moderating the GD
Tips: If you see that no one is taking initiative then try to moderate the GD or else try to add value addition points.
Duration: 25 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It wasn't exactly a technical interview but rather a mix of both HR and Tech. The panel asked me about my project, a few questions of thermodynamics and about my POR. I had asked the HR lady if I could interact with PR people in ITC since I wanted to see how professional PR people work. She was interested in the question.
Tips: Try to remain calm. Ask questions related to your liking. Don't just ask a question for the sake of asking one.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was again a mix of HR and Technical questions. They asked me about my project. They also asked me about fonts. What is 'serif' and 'sans-serif'. I also tried to drive the interview since the panel got bored with my project information. I asked them the same question as I had asked in the previous interview. Then afterwards they asked me if I was into communication. I told them about my new hobby of pen-freindship which they liked a lot.
General Tips: Work harder on the generic HR questions like- Why you? ; Why ITC?; Why FMCG? I wasn't prepared and it was a bit painful.
Try to drive the interview where you want it to go. I was unable to do this too and it messed up with certain aspects of the interview.
Also try to be comfortable with the panel
Skills: Positions Of Responsibility POR, Areas Of Interest, Course Grades, Core Courses Concepts, Speaking Skill

College Name: IIT Madras
Funny Moments: In the GD, instead of saying 'we can use a machete to kill animals' I blurted 'we can use a machete to kill people' :')
In the interview the panel asked to distinguish between serif and sans-serif. I wasn't expecting this at all.
