Round: Test Experience: The process started with the PPT, which was for an hour. It was helpful attending the PPT as you could really understand the job profile and the company. The test was right after the PPT for which more than 200 people appeared. It was an aptitude and verbal test, 52 questions, 60 minutes, +3 for correct answer, -1 for wrong answer. There was space on the paper to write a short paragraph about yourself as well. The test was very difficult and the paper was very lengthy. Many couldn't attempt more than 20 questions. I attempted around 25. So accuracy and choosing the right questions was vital. About 40 students made the cut to the interview rounds.
General Tips: Be clear on which profile you are interested in. For Product Development, revise some of the 8th to 10th standard topics in Maths and Science. For Business Associate, refer to Ace your Case or any Case Study interview book. Go through some marketing and sales basics. They looked for confidence and good communication skills. They asked about your internships and experiences too. Having a good resume is very important. Read as much as possible about the company from their website, Quora, Glassdoors, etc. It can be really helpful in impressing your interviewer. It was a long process because of the number of candidates to be interviewed. I had to wait from 3:30 pm to 6:15 for my interview and the results came out 10:45 pm. It is important to keep your spirits up and keep calm. Skill Tips: Since they offered two profiles, Business Development Associate and Product Development Associate, you had to mention your preference on the paper. Your interview was based on your preference. For Product Development Associate, they asked simple 8th to 10th standard topics to be explained in an interesting manner (since their product was an educational one). For Business Development Associate they asked simple business cases. General aptitude and verbal was helpful. Practice is key to getting that accuracy. Skills: College Name: NIT Surathkal
Round: Test Experience: The test had a few additional general questions at the end. Overall, the test was okay and a few correct answers should do the trick (there was negative marking, I think).
Round: Group Discussion Experience: For Marketing people
General Tips: My experience was fun, I may even have got lucky. The interviewer was very cool throughout the process. Be positive, don't get disheartened at any point of time. Skill Tips: A firm grip on the fundamentals should be fine. If you have time, a little practice on quant questions is cool. Preparing a good CV is very important. Your CV represents you, so make sure the interviewer gets to see the better part of you. During the interview, stay calm and confident. Try to showcase your negatives into positives by exposing them before the interviewer could find them out for you. Prepare yourself well before the interview. A good knowledge about the company is a powerful tool. At the end of the interview, ask questions about anything - about the role you are being offered, the company competition etc., Brings a feel you are interested in their company.
