Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Not very clear but major role players were CPI and Projects.
Tips: Do write your area of interest clearly and your major projects you are highlighting in your resume should be of that area, otherwise they might interview you for wrong area and you might miss out as few students did. So be clear about that. And don’t think you can get away with casual or fuzzy answers.
Round: Interview
Experience: Technical Interview was related to the field they have shortlisted you. There were 3 panel for EE guys,1 for shortlisted candidate for Analog Area, 1 for shortlisted candidate for Digital and 1 for Architecture. For me it was mixed of Analog and digital with some device also. Questions regarding Short channel effects were asked. Then questions related to Diff-Amp were asked. Then there were questions on Digital logic, need of C-Mos , Charge sharing and distribution in C-Mos devices, Capacitance curve and its region. And then there were questions on Timing Issues, skew, jitter and some tricky question revolving around timing analysis. Questions regarding data transfer and propagation and read-write methodology were also asked. It was not about finding an answer it was finding how depth and clear knowledge a candidate has and what is his/her thinking process. If you get stuck somewhere while answering they will give you hints but don't seek hints for every answers.
Round: Interview
Experience: HR questions were the usual questions which are generally asked everywhere, revolving around judging my character. Few scenarios were given which conflicts between ethics and personal gains.
General Tips: I always intended to find a core job in semiconductor industry and for the same I planned my curriculum inaccordance with it. I took all courses related to VLSI area EE dept has to offer which included digital, analog and devices. I learnt some architecture also with the help of my batch-mates who have done CSE architecture course.
For those who are planning to get a core job my suggestions would be: Maintain a good CPI as it is the first criteria they will shortlist you.
Have good understanding of the subject. Do study devices also as companies frequently ask questions based on devices and practice from yourself.
Don't rely on SPO as they will not be preparing you for core companies. Do get information from your seniors about the preparations. If you have done your courses sincerely then it will take about 1-2 months to complete the preparations. And prepare along with your batchmates aiming for same area as it will help everyone. Don't try to go alone.
Skill Tips: Since I did courses of all areas of VLSI from devices to digital I was able to answer the wide range of questions put in front of me. I never tried to make a guess, I simply said that some things I forgot, but I was able to say that because most of the questions I was able to answer. Also, I prepared HR questions beforehand and had some instances in my mind to quote when put under those scenario. The probable reasons for my selection were a good CPI , clarity about subject and wide range of topics I covered duringmy courses.

6 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Accenture
This profile was basically open for only MBA but I they were keen on hiring some of the non MBA guys
also. Selection was based on our resume and first round of interviews were resume based as well. This
gave me a chance to defend my resume for the first time. Before this I felt like I would never get to an
interview
Round: Test
Experience: Capital one
There was test which was purely data analysis and calculator was allowed.
BMGI
The first round was an English cum aptitude test.
NI and HSBC
There was a CAT like test.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: BMGI
Our topic was “should we allow fdi in retail” and since. I followed a lot of business news I was thorough with the topic and I even pulled some examples from my Business Club days to support my arguments. Eventually out of 11 in GD, I was selected for the final round of interviews.
NI and HSBC
Topics were “corruption in india and anna hazare” and “zero” . I am not sure about second one but it was something like this.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Capital one
The case I was asked was to calculate the change in the cost of a grocery store if it has changed its model from cash on delivery with a physical store to an online portal which has cash on delivery option. As I had practiced it already I took some time to give structure and then gave 3-4 reasons for change in cost and then he gave me some numbers based on which I had to calculate the break even time period or amount . But I think he expected a little bit different approach or was searching for a different solution as I wasn't selected for the final interview sessions. I think 22 people were selected for the final interview session out of which 2 people were finally selected in Cap One.
Accenture
Then they started asking me puzzles and I started thinking that my case study would not have been proper that is why they are asking me these tough puzzles just to scare me away.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: NI and HSBC
In HSBC they asked me a case in which I had to first guess the no of petrol pumps in Kanpur and then to device a criteria for finalizing a location for a petrol pump for my client. Interview in NI was somewhat technical and I wasn't prepared for that (which happens most of the times so plzzz guys be prepared for all the basic courses like microelectronics, digital circuits from books like sedra n smith and all).
BMGI
They started hitting personal questions to me without giving me any chance to answer like why did you take electrical here? After taking electrical why are you interested in consulting? Why do people in general in IITs do not go for higher studies? And eventually they told me that I had not done anything concrete and that they feel that I follow a herd mentality. I was seriously not prepared for this kind of grilling and I panicked. I could have given a fight but I sat listening to them and in the end I accepted some allegations and gave a counter for some but I knew I had taken a defeat.
Accenture
The lady kept on asking why do you want to join us and I kept on telling the same thing I had prepared about how consulting is a way of life and how their firm would benefit me and all that. Eventually I was their waitlist 1 and I never got through.
General Tips: Do not prepare for companies and what they want but for your own strength and weakness. If you are strong in core subjects, chances are you would be hired by a tech company only (don’t go with exceptions like BCG, DB, Schlum and Transocean, they hire very few). If you do not want a core job then also prepare for it just in case. At least people in CSE, EE, ME should prepare well for core as there is always a chance that you don't get your dream job and then you panic and don't think things through and get any random job that comes your way and regret in future but if you have a backup in core you can always pursue things in future without regret.

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I was a bit nervous in ITC GD which resulted in my loud voice and dominating nature. The case was one of the typical cases of ITC which I missed during preparation; as a matter of fact they haven’t changed it since 3 or 4 years. It did not go that good but I was sure if 4 people would be selected from my group then I would be in. But by that time I was ready for HUL’s GD. It was a fresh new case which I forgot by the way (:P). The group was big (12 students) and I gave some good ideas (I think so). The key is “never give up on quality, safety and ethics”.
Well HUL is famous for taking only one or two guys, on top of that, rumor was that it would take only chemical guys, so I didn't had much hope with HUL, on the other hand, I was 100% sure to get through ITC (my profile and everything just matched with ITC and my friends also boosted me for the same). But I don’t know what was in my fate, at around 10:00 PM, the results of ITC’s GD came, and I was not shortlisted, all my hopes were shattered and everything turned into fume. They took only two students from my group and I was completely hopeless as I wasn't preparing for BCG, screwed up Diamond and ITC was gone. Only chance was in HUL (about which I was not sure) and Opera. I still remember that time, my wing mates helped me through that situation and boosted me a hell lot and soon I saw a ray of hope. 20 minutes later, HUL’s result came out and I was shortlisted for the interview. I decided to prepare as much as I could for HUL and revised all my stuffs all the night. I had 4 interviews next day but I didn't sleep even after going through 2 GD’s and 1 aptitude test. Finally the day came. I couldn't sleep last night.
Round: Interview
Experience: My first one was scheduled with Opera. I was taking it very lightly. The guy was from USA. I did my intern in Canada, so we did a little bit chit chat about that and we had a very nice conversation. He seemed happy with my attitude. He gave me a business case on Casino and after his some help, I finally solved the case and came up with the answer he was seeking. The next interview was with BCG. The bad thing about BCG interviews is that they don’t let you go anywhere else till their process is finished. So instead of going there, I first gave Diamond’s interview and then HUL.Since you would have read a lot about Diamond and BCG interview, so let me come straight to HUL. The first interview was taken by a factory manager. First question was based on pump, he asked about types of pump, NPSH and other relevant things. Then couple of more questions related to thermodynamics. He asked about refrigeration cycle, LMTD, cooling tower, brayton cycle and some more questions. It lasted about 15-20 minutes. I did pretty well and asked about his experience at HUL. It went good and I was sure to get shortlisted for the next round.
After that I was called for second round which was a telephonic interview taken by General Manager of the company Yogesh and there was one more guy whose name I don’t remember. He again asked the questions on pumps, use of pump in our daily life, NPSH, its determination, laws of thermodynamics, perpetual machin, use of second law in our daily life, principle of airplanes, Bernoulli theorem, what happens when you open the door of refrigerator, a heat transfer calculation (I don’t remember exactly) and some more questions in thermodynamics. Finally he asked some questions from my form. He was not satisfied with the answer I gave in one of the questions and he asked me to cite another example. He asked about my strategy on successful conduction of one of my events (Gearloose) and what made it best. Finally there were some formal questions like if I was ready to be posted anywhere and all.
General Tips: I think I answered all the questions very confidently and to the point and elaborated where required. I was very much confident about pumps and cited as many examples as I could. I think this was the best part of my interview. Initially I was a bit nervous but then I contemplated and decided to take proper time to answer each question. I think I satisfied him with every question he asked and that’s why I got selected in the company of which I used to dream since my 3rd year.
Last but not the least, I would like to say that you should know yourself and your shortcomings thoroughly and then do your best to overcome them. This is the single most time when you should devote yourself completely in the preparation (just like JEE time) if you want to get selected in your dream company. As in my case, though I did have good academic background and positions of responsibilities but I used to stammer and was not fluent in English. So I had to work a lot in these two areas in order to do decent in the interviews. I practiced in front of mirror and gave as many mock interviews as I could and that finally gave me result. Remember, nothing is impossible if you want to achieve that. You have to just work very very hard for that.
