Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Interviews are pretty easy to crack given that you are well prepared. One should show loyalty and plenty of interest in the organisation. If you have plans to pursue higher studies, try not to mention it.
In my case, I went through one HR round and then appeared for AMCAT test which I cleared. After that it was the operations round where I was asked about my native place and the reasons why I want to work so early (since I was only 21 years old). The person checked my stability as well and asked a bit about basic computer knowledge as well. Overall it was an easy interview and if you know how to play with words, you're good to go!
