Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: They have a long short listing process. Online aptitude test, 3 short essays etc but mostly, short listing is resume based. There is a telephonic round as well but questions for the same are known well in advance. Few keywords for short listing are 
1 .Technical Skills 
2. POR
3. Cross - Cultural Experience 
4. You get bonus points if you have done some project related to energy, environment etc and have been exposed to an atmosphere where safety practices were critically followed.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I had 2 round of interviews. Few people had even more than 3 rounds. I was told that I am being given an offer during my 2nd round itself.

Round 1. – Interviewers- Three in no., 1 Australian, 2 Indians.
Round 2. Interviewers- Five in no.- Three Australian. 2 Indian( Don’t know if anyone of them was an engineer. Mostly HR people.)

Because few of the interviewers were Australians, it became all the more important that I spoke slow and it should be clear to everyone.

General Tips: If you are targeting day one companies than you need to have certain spikes in your resume. These spikes can be academic, research based, internships, POR, extra currics etc. What most of us do not realize is that interview preparation in itself is a very good spike which can definitely get you shortlisted in more no. of companies and increase your chances of getting selected in each of them. I would just suggest. Take good amount of time in deciding what you really want to do. If you decide that you want do a job after your education at IITK, then prepare well for it and earn it.
Skill Tips: The thing that went well was that most of the questions I was asked were expected so I had already prepared for them. They look for certain traits in individuals.
1 .Technical Skills 
2. POR(not necessarily in extra currics, even a good project management counts)
3. Cross - Cultural Experience(Adaptability-because you are placed in Australia) 
4. Confidence 
5. Outgoing Nature
6. Interest in energy/environment etc.


I could present that I have most of these traits. I could not prepare well for aptitude during my placement preparation which I should have. I gave few aptitude test but did not get selected. I had some amount of bad luck in BCG and Diamond both in pre interview process and during interview, but that is something which can happen so it is advisable to be mentally prepared for it and try and get shortlisted in as many companies as you can.
