Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: It was an easy exam(The UL one). Basic quant questions were asked. But easy exams are tricky ones. You cannot afford to make mistakes. So speed and accuracy were expected.
Tips: There are lot of companies that short list based on aptitude test. Most of them short lists around 40-50 people for the next round. So CAT preparation(or the likes of CAT,GRE etc) is a MUST even if you are not actually giving CAT. Speed and Accuracy is required. Practice infinite. Only then you can make it to the short list.

Total Questions: 20
Round: HR ROUND
Experience: HR round was a happy round. I had to talk about me, which is easy if you are well aware of who you are and what you want. I was fortunate, I was asked an easy puzzle midway.

If you do that, you'll come up with a wonderful resume, super strong confidence and a cool interview.
Round: TECHNICAL ROUND
Experience: It was a 40 minute interview.This interview had a bit untidy start. It took time for me to handle the first question, where I had to increase the sales of sofas in a given time. But I took my time, jotted down my thoughts and never stopped again. So, stay cool throughout and it helps. I could do well in all 3 questions.
1. How do we increase Sales of Sofa over next 3 months?
2. Give me a strategy for a vab service to be launched in Chennai?
3. As a Consultant, Suggest revenue generation avenues for a Multiplex in loss.
Tips: Remember, case interviews doesn't have answers/solutions. The way you deal with the given problem(thought process) is looked at, rather than the final solution. One has to discuss his way with the interviewer, demand data from him and talk relevant stuff with confidence.
General Tips: Everything that you have ever done in your life matters. Grab something from whatever you do. Everything not only includes good CGPA, PORs, Extra Curriculars, but also the things that you always wanted to pursue.
