Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: It is pretty straight forward. They will shortlist you, if either you have decent CG or good projects/internship. Within a branch, they took 10-15 ppl.
Tips: Make a clear single page resume. Don't try tricks like 1.5 page or reducing the font size to add more content, that just irritates interviewer. Keep it in the standard format. If you are not able to fit your doings on one page, put only best one.

Round: Test
Experience: Questions will be thrown at you in different frame structures. It was not a qualifying step but they grill in interview based on the psychometric result generated by the software.
Tips: Try to be consistent in your answer. Try to keep your answer in the direction of what company wants.
