Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Went through a few sample resumes to get some idea.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Candidates were short-listed on the basis of resumes and then there were three rounds of interviews. Ultimately ML recruited some 7-8 people for three different locations. Only two for Mumbai office I believe. As far as I know, some 10 people made it to the third round.The structuring of interviews was not exactly the same for everyone. People were being interviewed randomly by different panels. Round 1 (2 interviews): Mostly HR. Why ML? Your strengths, weaknesses? Any idea about the job profile. Why do you think you are appropriate for that kind of job? Some stuff about my projects. Round 2 (1 interview): Again HR. Family background. Why finance and not CAT n management? Grilled a lot about IIMs & wanted to make sure I was not interested in doing MBA immediately after BTech which I wasn't anyways. Surprisingly, no questions regarding my apping intentions.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Round 3 (1 long interview): Mostly about finance. Wanted to know how much awareness I had about the terminology. 2- 3 case-studies kind of thing. Again some stuff about the projects that I had done.
General Tips: Be prepared with typical HR questions. Sound convincing as to you want to do nothing but join ML. A little preparation for case studies will help for sure. Also go through the interactive DVD to get some idea about ML. That helped a lot.

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: My experience was quite good. Being an Indian, I knew the problems faced in Kashmir (of course through newspapers) so I could follow the topic and could talk over this.
Tips: Read newspaper so you will be aware of the issues going around in the globe and the GD topics are generally the current affairs. Do not try to dominate in the discussion, try to involve other people in the discussion too. Try to reach the conclusion towards the end of the discussion. Try to make the points which people will follow.
Duration: 20 minutes
Round: HR Interview
Experience: I applied for this company because it is a social enterprise and I was always inclined towards such work, so the questions asked were quite simple for me. I could interact with interviewer very well that boosted up my confidence.
Tips: Do not blabber things. Highlight your qualities in "Tell us about yourself". Be confident. Try to communicate with the interviewer as if he is your friend ( but of course be professional).
General Tips: As I said earlier, "Do not be a part of this rat race, follow your passion". If you are not happy with the job profile then do not apply for that job. And if you are enthusiastic and passionate enough the you will definitely get selected.
Skill Tips: Try to be yourself.
Skills: Communication Skills, Passion , Teaching skills, Dedication
College Name: IIT BOMBAY
Motivation: Avanti Fellows is a social enterprise which gives high quality coaching for JEE and other competitive exams to the students who can't afford it. I always loved teaching and I am inclined towards social sector. Avanti gives me an opportunity to follow my passion in both teaching and social field. This is the reason I applied for Avanti.
Funny Moments: I was so much enthusiastic and excited about the interview since it was my first interview that the interviewers could actually see my excitement. After my selection they called me up to have a talk with them and I started talking to them as if I knew them from years.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I prepared it on my own but I did SWAT analysis first and tried to highlight those points in which I am strong. I wrote the points in such a manner that interviewer should ask the Q about it. Since I was placement No I attended many PPTs. I think if you do not have any idea about the companies business the PPTs do help. I wanted to go to FLUENT only so I did not talk to anybody else.

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Material I had was just resumes of seniors who got placed in my preferential companies. It's good to have lot many resumes to look at, but it's better to be focused on those kinds which suit your target companies. Then catch hold of a good lit. guy who can frame your resume points in a better way. This helped me to put more points in the given 2 pages restriction. Finally the resume was sent to all the seniors for proof read. Please note that it's not necessary to implement all the changes they suggest. Better try to understand why they proposed that change. Yeah, attending PPTs show you the kind of professionalism the company carry. Otherwise apart from those most awaited stuffs I didn't find PPTs of any help. No, I didn't talk to people before choosing but yeah after a bit of introspection and SWOT analysis of my own I chose the companies (by finding a right balance between the kind of job profiles I desire and what will suit me the best) and finally got a great feedback from seniors / friends.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Definitely, in groups. The more you work in groups the better probability of getting honest feedback. GD being a group activity had to be done in groups.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: As far as HR is concerned, general questions everyone is aware of; rest specific to various companies can be found out through people.To crack HR you need to be very much clear in your thoughts. What I mean to say is, you must know the answer of What, Why, How of everything you did, right from schooling. To do this, I just kept on writing about my life from schooling till IIT life of around 10 years, in paper. You will not appreciate the power of this until you do, but take my word that by the time you have accomplished this task you have got all the answers you were looking for. This will definitely, make all your answers (to the HR questions) seem quiet natural, in the interview (which most of the people are not able to do). For interview I made myself prepared for all the answers of typical questions then had various practices sessions with friends.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Case studies I did some but just to get myself acquainted with these things because these are there in GDs only (for the kind of job profiles I was looking)
Skill Tips: These all are fart things, if you yourself are confident enough about the company. I hope I need not justify this statement. But yeah then also just don't step in the interview room with a wrinkled shirt. Just pull on something
formal which makes you confident. As far as etiquette is concerned, just be calm and compost. Try to make yourself relax and comfortable but do also keep in mind that you are in your job-interview.

7 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I took suggestions about the basic format from my father and sister. Once I made my resume, I got it checked by one of my teachers. It is advisable to limit the document to 2 pages. Among other things, your first page should have academic achievements or extra-curricular achievements depending on which is more impressive, and depending on the target company. PPTs are an invaluable source of information for the HR part of the interview. In their PPTs, companies generally indicate what skills they are looking for from applicants. These will come in very handy in answering questions like - Why should we hire you? or What qualities of yours suits our company's requirements? Also, you get to know a lot about the company and its USP. This helps you in questions like Why do you want to join our company? This is especially useful for students of branches like civil, mining, and metallurgy seeking jobs in the software industry. Did you talk to anyone on how to choose jobs/companies? In what way. I just appeared in the companies that came first. Since these companies were excellent in their respective fields, I have no regrets in sitting for them. Apart from that, since our institute gives us the liberty to take more than one job, choosing jobs is not such a big dilemma.
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: I only went through the puzzle sets of previous years placement papers. I suppose soft copies of these papers are in circulation in colleges.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: We had to study the given case within a certain time limit. After that, we had to give an oral presentation, and there was an exhaustive discussion with the interview panel on the presentation.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: It was a slightly modified form of a GD, but normal GD mantras hold good.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It was a long and exhaustive interview based a technical project that you have done. This round is purely technical, so your project had better be good.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Shell had a rigorous procedure that was divided into 2 sessions separated by about 3 weeks. The first was a general group discussion (non-technical) and general HR interview (for candidates shortlisted from GD). The interview was very different in that we were asked to speak on a particular topic (like I was asked questions about transportation) and the interviewer, by cross-questioning you, would extract every bit of information that you know about the topic. Selected students advanced to the second session.
Tips: Decent communication skills and Good technical project
