Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Each section had a different number of questions ranging from 15-25.
There was a minimum number of questions in Logical Reasoning section that was supposed to be attempted (whether wrong or right) within the given time frame.
The questions were basic and did not require any extra preparation as such.
Almost everyone qualified except those who could not complete the minimum number of questions in the LR section
Tips: Use your general aptitude and do not be nervous. Remember to read through the instructions properly in order to avoid missing out on importantant details which are required to be kept in mind for qualifying.
Keep an eye on the timer in case of timed tests.
Duration: 1 hour
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: It was literally a chaos. That is what usually happens in most GDs. Most people were against the topic except me and I am glad I chose to speak FOR the topic because it gave me an opportunity to speak well as my points weren't being eaten up by others.
Tips: 1. It is very important to SPEAK in a GD because that is what it is meant for.Keeping shut won't lead you anywhere at all.
2. It is also important to have substantial facts and points to speak. Aimlessly speaking is more harmful than keeping shut.
3. It is essential to be very polite and humble even when you are contradicting someone. A rude and loud behaviour is simply not acceptable.
Duration: 15 minutes
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview started with the usual question to make me feel comfortable. I rattled away my pre-planned answer about myself. The interviewer looked satisfied with it and after that one question led to another. Questions were being asked on the answers that I gave, for eg - about how is it like to live in a joint family after I told that my family is a joint one. After completing the personal introduction part, the interview then focused on my CV. I was actively involved in various extra curriculars and societies in my college. I had also done few internships. I was then asked to speak about those experiences and what I learned from them
Tips: Just be yourself. This round is basically to know the candidate better. So it is recommended to be honest about yourself. Framing an answer before hand about the basic questions can save you from the nervousness of answering abruptly and reduce chances os stammering. Do not try to fake any answer because the successive questions are framed as per your answer and lying initially can end you up in serious trouble
Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: A few questions from the HR round was repeated to make me comfortable before moving towards the technicalities. Questions were asked about several accounting concepts. A sheet of paper was given to write the journal entries for few transactions. At times the interviewer tried to confuse me to see if I was confident enough or not. A few questions were asked about the business and economic related current affairs and I was asked to give my opinion on them.
Tips: Be thorough with your academics and current affairs if you are a fresher. Revise the practical subjects like accounts, taxation, costing, etc.
Skills: Communication skill, General Awareness, Knowledge In Core Topics, How Well You Are Able To Communicate What You Wanted To Tell, Presentation Skills, Presence Of Mind
