Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: they did not care about CG,they gave offer even for low CG students.(happy news)
Tips: After getting shortlisted based on resume, we had interview. The interview revolved around resume , especially projects. they don't even look at PORs.


Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: they were friendly people,they just asked me" tell me about yourself" and few questions on projects i have done ,(coding profile) and they just asked me to explain a project i have done and they asked me few simple physics questions like how does center of gravity shift etc and later they asked me to find SFD and BMD for the given simply supported beam,thats it
Tips: Make your resume look good and strong . Do good projects and if possible a core intern in second year(not necessarily). Learning MATLAB, PYTHON,VISUAL BASIC would be an asset for coding profile Don't get panic(only simple tech qns based on the projects were asked).
Do well ,you can do it.
