Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I applied for a couple of companies before this and learnt from experience on how to write a resume highlighting your strengths.
According to me, I feel writing a resume is like a sales pitch. You have to describe everything about you in a way that you catch the panel's attention all in one sheet of paper.
My advice for everyone would be start making resumes as early as possible and ask seniors for feedback and keep upgrading your resume. You will get to know how to write an attractive resume for a particular profile through experience itself.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: My experience was extremely pleasant. HR was very friendly, even asked me to drink tea and coffee :)
To be truthful, I was pretty nervous but it's not as scary as everyone think it is. HR's are generally friendly and will make you feel as comfortable as they can.
Coming to the questions, I wasn't asked any technical questions and was mainly asked general questions. They just test your proficiency in speaking English and the confidence in your answers.
Tips: My tips would be to be cool, be yourself, don't lie and boast(they will get to know of it)
Be sure to know some history about the company and why you want to join it
Be confident in your answers and you have to demonstrate a surity in your answers. i.e you have to have a explanation for every answer you give.
Lastly be confident in your outlook as a whole
Skill Tips: English proficiency is a must. Be fluent and confident in your English speaking.
Skills: 1)communication, Basic Knowledge, Ability To Convince, Able To Speak With Perception

College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: I always wanted to join a multi national company
And citi is one of the major financial service provider all around the world.
It is a 200 yr old company and thus is a very prestigious company.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Group Discussion
Tips: A lot of redundant points (those which go without saying or are unnecessary, like extra shifts to match targets) are needlessly thrown about. It is easy to go on with the flow, but a unique (keep it simple, though) perspective is almost certainly rewarded. Since everyone is hankering after the chance to speak, make sure that you make the most out of the few you get. If you feel that the conclusion is not solid enough (happens when group members try to play safe and appear to be in agreement), grab the opportunity to add a few of your own, which need not necessarily contradict the main conclusion.
