AARAV ENTERPRISES Interview Questions and Answers

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - It is a very bad company.....no job security,. politics is everywhere in this company.

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: There were many profiles in KPMG for which they wanted to recruit - Strategy and operations consulting, Edu Analyst, etc. Since there was no test conducted for any of these profiles, they directly shortlisted through resume. There seemed to be a CGPA cutoff of 7 looking at the list of candidates who have been called for further rounds.

Round: Guesstimate Interview
Experience: This interview was taken by 2 people. People generally prepare for puzzles, case studies, guesstimates, etc through out the semester. But frankly i went on to sit for these campus placements with very less preparation on any of these.So i was a bit worried on how i can pull of an interview without all of that! What i did realize from the entire experience - from mine and that of my friends, is that the questions given in the interviews are not really tough. One can solve them if he just thinks through the problem there and then itself- without thinking that I have not done this earlier, i didn't prepare, etc. I did do some mistakes while solving the problem, but they helped me to correct them in the process and arrive at the solution.
Tips: Here again as everyone say, YES, What they are looking at is the way you are structuring or solving the problem. How much are you comfortable with numbers, pulling off simple calculations with that, etc. Having said all of that above, about preparation, BUT it does help and a bit of practice earlier only makes one feel more confident for the interview!
Good communication skills is always a plus for any interview. The way you tell about yourself, the work you did, etc. And this is something that any company expects now in the age we live in.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This interview was taken by 3 people, which is enough to make anyone a bit nervous when you have a panel interviewing rather than a single person. Even i was! Also they were trying to create a STRESS environment by countering most of the things i said or questioning them even more. They were also friendly at the same time. I didn't have prepared answers for any of the questions asked, i was just very honest with them on what i really felt about each one of them. And if there is one thing i learnt from all the interviews - 3 in total that i faced, being honest and confident is the key to crack to the interviews. I think that way i sort of started building a connect with them with the really HONEST answers that i gave them - something that i believed in truly! So they liked me that way.
Tips: Being prepared again with a few basic questions about yourself will help. Like knowing your strengths, why do u want to do that job, etc. It will anyways be helpful to know about yourself through these questions. But be prepared to get any kind of question in this kind of HR interview. Just be Honest. I very much believe in this " Dil ki baat dil pe hi lagti hai" :) :P
Look into the eyes of the panel when you are speaking. Helps build connect with them. Present yourself just the way you are. I m sure, They ll love you! One easy technique to get over these nervousness and all of that is start feeling the panel as someone like your friend, family, etc whom you are just meeting and telling YOUR STORY in those 30-40 min, that will ease out of a lot of things.

General Tips: Although this company didnt take a test. But generally most of the companies did take a test. So prepare for them. Prepare through CAT books, it is enough. Practice can be done on the net as well.For interviews prepare for Guesstimates, Case study and look into some standard puzzles. For case study prep, "Case in point" is the best and will suffice! Others- Guesstimates and puzzles can be looked up for on the net.

Preparation (which will help you be confident as well) + Honesty + Communication skills is the key!!!
Skills: Problem solving , How you are structuring a problem!, Mental Math, Number crunching

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The selection process was pretty long. It had a written test and 4 rounds of interview. For interviews you required a one page resume which was detailed but was point wise.

Round: Test
Experience: They asked us to write an essay in the written test in which I attempted the topic "Is Blogging a Modern way of expression".

Round: HR Interview
Experience: In almost all the rounds they asked me puzzles, numerical reasoning based questions. They also had a few HR questions in all the rounds. They were focused on understanding whether I had the right aptitude and logical reasoning that is required to shoulder the job responsibilities. In the HR rounds they asked me about my aims and inspiration, my strengths and weaknesses, and whether I will be comfortable with relocating and working on the weekends. They also inquired about the things that motivate me, how would I handle tough situations and about my views on working in a team. They were also interested in my values, and my upbringing and few questions on situations involving a moral dilemma.

They also asked me many guesstimate questions. One of them was to estimate the no. of street lights in Delhi. The also asked me a puzzle in which I had to tell how many small tennis balls can be fitted in a 6 litre glass.

They also asked me case studies on adwords. For example, they asked me to sell the adword Chaiwala. So be prepared to sell weird stuff and in this also they want to see innovation and out of the box thinking.
Tips: I would advise that you should prepare for puzzles. Also take your time while you are solving a case study or a guesstimate because they are not concerned about the time you take but about how logical your thought process is.
