What are appliations of the project etc.
Tips: From your side you try to thoroughly explain the project. They should feel that you know in and out everything about your project. They will not check for correct answer,interviewer only checks your approach. Think and answer properly.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: HR interview was took by one lady.It went for about 30 min. I told that I want this job because when I looked the profile it was the kind of work I always wanted to do. And the company is working in the areas in which I am interested. For second question I told them that I will properly manage my team and assign that work to people in which they are good and accordingly we will try to finish the work. I answered third question by saying that I will be polite to my senior and try my best to bring to his notice the pros of the solution/methods that I am suggesting. I told them that when I give my 100% to my work and still people dislike it then that upsets me. The advice I always get is that I should also spend time to have fun and not just work always which I do. I always focuss more on my work and then if I have time I go out
Tips: Just answer what you feel in this round but always think of a story which will justify your answer.
