Interview Preparation Tips

Round: HR Interview
Experience: There were 3 rounds in all.
The first round was a basic HR round that tested your communictation skills and your willingness to travel to client sites around the country.
The second round was also an HR plus a basic statistics questioning round(eg. whats a mean, median , mode and when do you use what). Its also a stress test round so they can question you on anything they want (eg. geography, history and so on).
The final round is with the Executive Director which is based on how you could be an asset to the company, how you could contribute to it and what have you done all these years in terms of work experience.

Round: Technical Interview

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I think they mostly look for a well rounded profile with a decent PORs and Internships. Be sure to quantify whatever you have done and show the impact you have made.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: They look for people who can speak out well and express their opinion in a clear concise manner. Try to start the GD by introducing yourself and structuring the GD. Express valid points. Appreciate others if they have made a valid point. Overall make sure you stand out.
Duration: 15 minutes

Round: Behavioural Interview
Experience: It was situation based interview. Took around 20 minutes. Try to connect whatever you have done with the questions. For example, if they ask you 'Tell me a time when you had to face a challenge and how did you overcome the challenge?'. SO connect it with your past experiences during an internship and then convince them how you overcame it.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was more like an general HR interview with the partner at E and Y. Don't be nervous. Talk clearly and try to connect with him.

Skills: Communication, Proficiency In English, Organisational Skills

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I started the discussion by sharing  my views on how  hockey is not given the due importance in India inspite of it being the national sport.After this i  listened to everyone patiently, with an open mind. At the end of discussion i was asked to conclude the GD, i started by giving a very brief summary of the discussion and highlighted  the conclusion of the topic.
Tips: Speaking first is a good opportunity go for it if you are confident about the topic.If you do not know much about the topic , don't panic listen to what everyone has to say then use their points to speak. :)

Speaking too much with bad content will almost never get you selected.
Duration: 30 minutes
