Interview Preparation Tips
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Know each & every HR question. When the interviewer asks about your weakness, do not tell some actual negatives. Tell something which would benefit them & which would affect you at the same time. Example-‘over achiever’. Tell some story to support this. Extent of honesty doesn’t matter. The story should run throughout your whole resume. Relate everything to your resume.

Interview Questions
- Q1. Current affairs
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Resume shortlist- peaks in the resume: An all-round and dynamic personality, ability to multi-task and handle pressure, proactive nature and initiatives taken in PORs, achievements in the field of sports, literature and arts contribute in resume short listing.
They look for people who’ve used their time in institute wisely and are passionate about things they do. A crisp and well written resume forms a good first impression. Invest enough time to prepare the resume and get it reviewed by seniors.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: First round was HR. Second had some puzzles, discussion on current affairs. Basic understanding of current affairs is tested. Rather than just being aware about the global and national issues, it’s important to know a few issues/events in detail and take a stand on them. You can let the interviewer know which events you are aware about and direct the course of the interview.
Case study:
1) Identifying the reasons for loss incurred by a motel (relevant data was provided)
2) Evaluating different aspects of setting up a business
3) Guesstimate: Estimate the number of windows in a skyscraper
4) Estimate the scope of 4G in India. Is introducing 4G a good idea?reas
5) A foreign elevator company operating in India is incurring losses. What are the likely issues and how can they be fixed
General Tips: The standard HR questions can be found online. Also be prepared to answer questions like 'why do you want to join our company?', 'why do you prefer a career in investment banking over consulting' or vice versa. Know you resume inside out as some HR questions will be directly based on you resume. Highlight you role, achievement and learning outcome while answering such questions.
Whatever you do in life, do it with passion. It’s this passion that’ll take you far in life. These four/ five years in IIT are the most crucial years to mould the personality of an individual. Seize every opportunity you and make the most of it. Manage time well and prioritize various activities. Try to get industrial exposure through internships. Good communication skills and a confident personality are very important.
Skill Tips: Started reading economic times from the beginning of 7th sem. One month was sufficient to prepare. However, one can start preparing puzzles and reading up Economic Times a little earlier.
