5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: It was with the help of seniors. Its always better to go through some seniors resumes before writing one. I also sent my resume to some seniors so as to get a feedback and to make the appropriate changes. Resume should not be taken as a 1 day job. Every point in the resume should be clear and should reflect the intended qualities. Also the proof reading task to identify small mistakes can be given to juniors. Yes , in the starting session of the placements I used to attend the ppts as they started in the last semester only. They help a lot in deciding about the companies but if one is not writing anything down then its very difficult to recall the points from a ppt that one has attended 2 months back. Its always better to have a conversation with seniors in different jobs so as to have an idea about the job profiles and work conditions so that a clear decision can be made.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: At the time of placements only a doc file with some standard HR questions was circulated within the batch. I went through it and prepared the HR questions once. I also gained some insight into case studies by the documents circulated by the batch mates.
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: I didn't think that solving puzzles beforehand helps in an interview as if you already know them then its very difficult to hide it from the interviewer.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I just took basic GD fundaes that are available on google and from some of the friends who had attended some TIME and IMS GD sessions. Since I was preparing for CAT to some extent and used to appear for MOCK CATS. So it helped a lot in the tests as most of the tests are CAT based. So it’s better to go through some CAT practice books to prepare for the tests.
Skill Tips: Be properly dressed in an interview. Suit is not necessary but do get nice formals and a tie. It always helps to create a good impression as it tells them that you are interested in the company.

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I started with resumes of my seniors ( try having a look at seniors having a similar profile as yours, that helps), generally looking for a good format and how to put my points across. I noticed that the general pattern of all the good resumes was three fold: 1. Identifying the problem and defining it well. 2. What measures were taken.. 3. What results were obtained. Try to model all your subpoints in such a pattern. Using the list of adjectives and verbs given at MITs website ( google for MIT Resume writing tips) helps quite a lot. After prep of 1st draft, getting it edited by friends and seniors/elders is one of the most important steps. Don’t be shy about it, its better if your mistakes are pointed out by them rather then the interviewer ?.
Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: There is a folder of case questions and a HLPQ(huge list of personality questions) floating around in the institute. Try getting hold of it. It is more then sufficient
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Prepare for CAT seriously, even if you don’t intend to do an MBA. It helps brush up your quantitative and analytical skills, which is the test basis for many a companies. In my case( in my group of friends), I found that whoever dint try giving CAT, eventually ended up suffering because of bad quantitative and DI skills. Everyone thinks that they will practice DI, but nobody does it finally. For interviews, write down the answers to questions in HLPQ in a similar threefold format, wherever possible : 1. problem faced. 2. Actions taken. 3. results. Dont learn the answers ( esp. language) by heart, doesn't help you in any way. Ask our friends to question you and practice. For interview, there is an approach saying that you should prepare a timeline & help of what happened in your life (major incidents) and then try to pick out some major incidents. Didn't follow that approach myself, so cant say
how much effective it is.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: GDs No point doing it individually. Pick up a topic and do GD.

1 Interview Round
Interview Questions
- Q1. Tell me about yourself
- Q2. Why is your cpi low?
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The answer to the first question should be short (max. two lines) but should bring out the strong talking points of your resume. In my case, I stressed on my organizational and leadership skills. The answer to this question would invariantly lead to the next question related to the topic that you mentioned strongly. Here onwards, in each answer you should bring in a topic which you are comfortable talking about so that the interviewer asks the next question on the very same topic.
While Answering the second question, I brought in the point of my keen interest in varied project works, because my EDP was a strong point of my resume.
Tips: 1.Preparation and practice is a must2.Consistency is very very important.
3.Preparing questions to ask the interviewer at the end of the interview is also a must.
4.Practice in the form of saying out aloud also helps a lot.
General Tips: I wish you luck for whatever you choose to do in future.
Skill Tips: Stress more on the strong point of your resume.
