Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Good. The software on which the tests are conducted is pretty user-friendly.
Tips: Questions range from easy to moderately tough. Speed is the need of the hour. Good Vocab shall help much. Verbal was high mostly on Vocab and Grammar.
Duration: 75/80 minutes
Total Questions: 110
Round: Other Interview
Experience: One-on-one interview, with a lady. Questions were of technical and HR types. The interviewer was very helpful in making me feel comfortable. (it was my first interview in life, so was a bit nervous :) ) Technical questions were mainly based on Summer Training, favorite subject, and final-year project. It was quite interactive, and lasted approx. 25 minutes.
Tips: Please give honest answers, as made-up answers are hard to back-up on further questioning; and do remember that these are experienced people, who have interviewed tens of students like you in the past. Also, know yourself very well -- your hobbies, your strengths and weaknesses. Also, be ready to sketch your future plans. Be confident, and it would be like any other normal conversation you have had. And lastly, do keep a smile on your face. It always helps. :)
Skills: Honesty, Rationale, Agility, Technical Knowledge

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The aptitude section consisted of 20 questions to be done in 40 minutes and the english section had 50 questions to be done in 20 minutes. The apti was quite okay-ish and could be completed with full concentration and english was damn easy...probably thats why they gave so many questions.
Tips: Just keep calm and continue solving questions at a steady pace and focus on doing more of english questions right.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 70
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: We had only one interview where the only HR question was "Tell me about yourself". Well its really true that no one else can prepare an answer to this, except you. The others were basic mech questions from the subject which is your favorite( He asked me that in the beginning), in my case, Thermodynamics.
Tips: I'm gonna give you the same advice that anyone would give for facing an interview, i.e., BE YOURSELF! But yeah, I know its not so easy to be so, in front of the person who would actually give you your first job! I would say, just be confident....that will prevent you from trying to be some other better person thinking the interviewer would like you. Though it will sound a little illogical but I would like to think that believing "there's nothing to lose before an interview" will give you exactly the self confidence you'll need to go out there and give it your best shot no matter what. Oh, and last but not the least don't ever lie in front of him...be honest with yourself as well as the interviewer. Like, I have an Ankan Ratna in painting (though I don't like painting that much...it was kind of forced by my mum :P ), when he read that in my CV he was amused, but I immediately confessed that I had left painting way back in class 10 and had not touched a brush since. Cause if he had asked me to paint anything at that moment, I surely wouldn't have done justice to the word, "painting"! :P
Skill Tips: I had to wait outside the interview room from morning till 5 pm in the evening. So have patience.
Skills: Patience, Aptitude, English proficiency, Technical knowledge

Speak in Hindi .I went for the first one.In the entire discussion of 15 min i spoke 2 times but with valid points.Those points made a huge impact on panelist and i got selected!
Tips: Keep yourself updated with recent topics/Social issues and read newspapers.Make a group of friends for study and GD purpose!Learn the process of GD from videos available on Youtube .If you are aware of the topic start the discussion and if u r not then hear the points kept by your colleagues and then add your opinion in it.Rest is your luck!

College Name: NIT DURGAPUR
Funny Moments: In the Group Discussion,i said a sentence,which i don't think i could have ever said in front of people of that kind f stature!And that is ......"I don't think parents should dictate their daughters about their dressing sense because i have never seen a girl wearing a BIKINI while going to a temple".........and everyone started laughing including the panelists and hence,i was the last guy selected for the next round!

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The questions were easy in all three sections. But you must practice Aptitude and general maths because they carry more than half of the marks.

You might want to read your textbooks before entering interview room.And again BE CONFIDENT.
General Tips: Confidence is the key. Don't take your sem exams lightly. Instead of just rote learning try to grasp the concepts taught. It might not help you in getting good GPA but it will definitely help you in interview room.
