4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: They took a test which was a combination of Aptitude and Technical problems. Aptitude part was scoring while technical part was very difficult. The level of the questions was not easy. They shortlisted around 14 candidates after the test.
Duration: 30 minutes
Total Questions: 30
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I did some nice projects in my department and tried to shift the attention on those during my interview. I was able to explain each and every intricacies of it and was send directly to the HR interview. HR interview was pretty unconventional as they didn't asked the general questions I had prepared for.
General Tips: 1. My resume focused mainly on the projects I had undergone and I was able to shift my interview in that direction.
2. It happens that if any point in your resume matches with their domain then you can easily make through. The preparation of core involves the revision of the courses undergone during the entire BTech like I was asked about the TA101 in one of the technical interview. TA201 is very important for the manufacturing jobs.

2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: I was targeting Qualcomm from the beginning and had done my preparation accordingly. It had a written test which consisted of three sections. Through the written test, they shortlisted only 14 people for the interview, which consisted of three rounds , 2 were technical and 3rd was HR interview. I had extensively prepared for the interview with the help of resources provided by the SPO and was able to clear it
General Tips: 1. According to me, one must be clear where does one actually want to go after graduation.
2. In my case I feel I was lucky enough to realize by the third year that my inclination was towards core sector and hence prepared accordingly.
3. I had kept CAT and Software profile companies as my back up option.
4. I believe that joining CL is a good idea especially if one is targeting Non-core firms as it helps in Quant and Aptitude preparation and giving CAT keeps the MBA option open as well.
5. Rest I feel that one can crack the interview of any company that one (realistically) targets, if one prepares well .

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: There were 8 of us.
Tips: 1. Don’t be dominant, try to put your points confidently in such a way that the group agrees to the priority number you set.
2. Though it is always good to start a GD and lay down a structure which others follow but then also it’s not sure that you will be selected.
3. Keep track of time and try to summarize before GD’s duration is over. Also note the priority number decided by the group on the paper given to you (most people forget to do that).
4. Keep making notes (helps in summarizing).
Duration: 20 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It was a mix of HR and Technical interview. Panel was of 2 persons (an IIT guy serving ITC for like 2-3 years and other one a bit senior to him (wasn’t from IIT)) and interview lasted for 1 hour.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was also a mixed interview. Panel was of 2 very senior members (one seemed to be an HR member and other one seemed to be a Factory or Division Manager) and the interview lasted for 1 hour.
General Tips: 1. Do take a sleep of at least 3-4 hours before coming for the interview.
2. Never try to be over smart or over confident about yourselves. PLEASE prepare for the interviews and GD. GD topics are the same as previous years so try them out in groups.
3. Don’t reach at the final answer in an interview without proper reasoning or paperwork. Speak what you are thinking. They will be giving some cues to help you.
4. At least make an elaborate diagram in questions related to thermo and fluids (mark the details). Mug up the pumps classification.
5. Also don’t try to copy the form from someone else. Be yourself.
6. Prioritize your companies. Give some thought to what you enjoy doing rather than just running for the money. It’s better to talk to people already working in the companies you are targeting, ask them about the work profile and then come at a decision.
7. It’s a myth that some companies have a hit list although it can be the case that you may feel that you are at a lower priority but if you perform better than everyone else then you will be the one hired.
8. Try not to put your foot in more than 2 sectors or 4 companies on the 1st day.
9. Once you are qualified for the interview round then CPI can never be the reason for not selecting you. Keep in mind that you are never rejected, either you are selected or not selected. And, it’s just a beginning to your career.
10. From whatever I learnt form asking people is that 10-15 years down the line everyone would be almost at the same level independent of your starting package and you will be thinking how stupid you were at the time of placements running madly for money or brand name. So, go for what you want rather than what your wingie or any XYZ person wants.

Which one to choose?
Given: The type of people who’d be attracted to different type of credit cards (business class, middle class)
1. How to advertise these 2 credit cards?
Given: There are bonus options for employee. Bonus increases exponentially after 80 hours.
2. Which card will an employee promote more?
For each of these questions, you have to come up with an answer at the end. Half an hr was given to think about the case and then they call you in to explain for another half an hour.
Tips: Case study was nothing but simply data interpretation.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: 1. It was a bit stressed interview. They keep on asking you why you want to go for consulting or analytics or say why ZS. Long term goals, short term goals. I said Photography and he said: "We want to open a photography school in India, now estimate the no. of students who’d enroll in it."
2. In the whole process, he just wanted to know whether I fit in the group or not. He brought me in my comfort zone. 3. He asked me questions about my internship. One of my intern projects appealed to him because he had worked in that area as well. I was able to connect to him.
4. In the end he asked me if I had any questions for him. Now this last part is very crucial. It shows your interest in their company. Do take time and read everything about the company beforehand and show your interest. This is a very important for them to know you.
Tips: My suggestion is that be cool and don’t be nervous throughout the process.
