4 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I had gone through some sample resumes send by the placement team. With that knowledge I prepared my resume. Later I found out that my resume was too short. When I got an opportunity to edit my resumes, I expanded certain credentials to fill up the full two pages. I had attended five Pre-Placement talks but I did it just as a formality. Did not gain anything particular through those talks. Regarding choosing of jobs/companies, I had made up my mind long time before that I would be sitting only for those companies which are core or companies with minor deviations from core.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Desimone test was purely a technical one. BMD, SFD, deflection diagram, and other basic questions. Structural mechanics is the subject which I found mostly questioned in both the companies.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: In De Simone it was fully HR questions like : 
Why did you choose structural engineering?
How will you be able to cope up with the new environment in US?
Where do you see yourselves ten years from now?, what makes you different from other students I have interviewed before you?etc.

Skill Tips: I would say that self confidence is the biggest asset which any person should have during an interview irrespective of how much technical knowledge he has or how good his English is.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I felt the interview little diffuclt compared to other interview that I had while I was applying for Internship (for other comapnies) . There were two people interviewing me. They went through my resume first. A lot of questions were asked from the resumes , mostly related to projects that I have done as a part of my course.
Tips: Go through job profile. Ensure that you have gud understanding of all the projects that you hou have done.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: My HR interview was taken just after I came out of my technical interview. I was not that confident in the starting. I was preapred for almost all the obvious questions like "Tell me about yourself?"  and all. Then she asked do you have problem with relocation . I replied that question with "I am from kerala , I did my 11th,12th in banglore , and currently studying in mumbai . So I am always going towards north". My answer worked out because I knew there is only location for samsung india Electronics(delhi noida). She laughed  and I guess that answer helped. When I came out of the  room, she called one of the coordinator and told that he is selected. :)
Tips: Preapare even to the oubvios question . Well I preapared a bunch of interview question that are usually asked and wrote answer and practised saying it(It helps a lot).  The less nevrous you are the better you get to intract with the interviewer . And smile :) .

Skill Tips: It was offline Test. Tests your basic knowledge of c++ programming. So its very easy to CRACK!!! :)  .

6 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I started by looking at some resumes from seniors. I Also attended McK resume workshop which helped me in writing down my start up entrepreneurial experience. After preparing first draft I took feedbacks from seniors and friends and incorporated the changes accordingly. I attended almost every ppt. It helped me a lot in choosing the correct companies. As, most of the companies explains the skill set required, this further helped me in writing down the resume accordingly. I think it is very important to attend ppts (atleast companies which you want sit for).

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Techinterview.org

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: BCG case studies. I prepared case interviews in group with a few friends who were short listed in McK and BCG,

Round: HR Interview
Experience: For HR I prepared alone. In my views one should start thinking and practicing HR Question, a month or two in advance to placements. It takes a lot of thought process and time to identify and express your own personality in those typical tell me about yourself kind of questions.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: It was resume based interview. I was asked about the projects that I mentioned in resume. More stress was given on DDP and seminar. I was asked to show ppt and samples of my DDP. A few Questions were about the Eureka, ConVis and Business planning.

Skill Tips: Think by yourself and don't do what everyone else is doing

General Tips: Instead of following the &  better to dress in stuff you are comfortable. Even a formal shirt over jeans Is not bad, way of speaking will matter a LOT more. Speak slowly and listen attentively to what the other guy has to say. Know inside that you are both smart guys and try to get into a conversation instead of letting the interview go on like Q&A. Don't make too many references to personal details. You also have the right to feel offended at any point and be vocal about it. My interviewer actually apologized to me, 3 times for different things, right in the first round.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I have just followed the instructions given by our placement team. We have two different resumes. One for technical companies, where technical details were emphasized. The other one is for business companies, where managerial skills were more emphasized.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Nearly 150 people appeared for exam. Approx. 30 were selected for interview. 2 Interviews: one HR and one Technical. Some people had 2 technical interviews. Finally 9 were selected.  In the technical interview : Most questions were asked related to Programming esp. C. Lot of questions were asked on pointers and OS concepts . I was asked to write a program on circularly double linked list. Questions were asked on data structures and Device drivers. Some questions on my project. HR interview is easy and straight forward.
Tips: For interview/GD/Test preparation did you prepare in groups or individually? Which one do you think helps the most? Any details you provide will be of great help   For tests, my friends and me prepared together. And for interviews ,we refereed online. Those were helpful esp. for HR interviews.

General Tips: Don't be tensed. Read about the company before you go for the interview.
