Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The questions were mainly from Verbal ability, Reading comprehension, Mathematical ability and logical reasoning. All of them were MCQ with +3 for right answer and -1 for wrong answers I think.
Duration: 60 minutes minutes
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: 100 students were divided into 16 groups. That comes something like 6-7 per group. The duration of the GD was 15-20 mins depending on the group. The evaluators mainly looked at our body language, the way we put across our points in the discussion, the quality of the points we told and finally our involvement in the discussion.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: There were two rounds of interview:
1st round: This round was a good mix of technical and HR questions for about 25 min if I remember correctly. I was asked a few puzzles,a guesstimate and HR questions like:Tell me about yourself,What are your strengths and weaknesses?,Why do you want to join Flipkart ? Tell me the latest news about Flipkart ? Estimate the market size of groceries in India?,Do you think entering into e-grocery business is a good idea? Some puzzles were also asked
2nd round: A few cases studies I prepared for Finance and E-commerce. I took 3 Finance courses (one of them being my minor) from the Institute and registered for a few online Finance courses to gain insights into the subject.Also did a small project as a part of my minor.I have been following E-commerce industry closely from 2013 by reading articles online and the ET.
Tips: Do’s: 1. be confident; Follow the company on media if possible to increase your confidence 2. Know the company & profile well before you go to the interview
Don’ts:1. don’t lie to the interview about thing that you have not done or about something you do not have much idea about. 2. Don’t discuss anything relatedyour pay scale. If the interviewer brings up that, gently brush it aside
General Tips: Choose your passion!
Don’t be chasing things which others think are ‘cool-stuff’ to do. If you are really talented in your passion you can become the next ‘cool’
1stYears: Try to put fight to get an awesome CGPA in the two semesters. It will be easier to maintain a good CG thereafter. Say NO to other extra-curricular activities but do keep track of them as you SHOULD do some for a good resume. A simple vol-ship may be okay if it is not time consuming.
2ndyears: Decide whether you want to pursue your branch further or not. If yes, start reading more about your interest, do some projects and learn some academic software like MATLAB, Origin Pro etc. If you are not interested, then try various fields like Finance, Analytics.
3rd& 4thyears: Don’t leave any opportunity in your chosen field and make use of all that insti can provide you
Skill Tips: August would be the right time to start.
Rather than starting early, I think having a time-table for self would help a lot and make us stress-free.The material provided by the placement website is sufficient. But please form a coherent group of your wing-mates or friends so that you are not stressed out in your preparation. Group preparation does more good than harm. But make sure not to waste time! Pre-final semester....very precious!!!

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Test was conducted through CoCubes Portal and there was no negative marking. Three sections has 20 questions each and there was no restriction on time for individual sections. I was confident about 50 questions and probably that was close to the cut-off for shortlist.
Tips: The questions are going to be easy. If you have prepared well for the CAT, it's not gonna be tough. Attempt Quantitative Analysis first and proceed with the other sections as per your convenience. There's no negative marking so make sure you attempt all the questions.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 60
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I started the GD, made 2-3 good points and concluded. The GD went ahead in a good direction and that's probably the reason 6-7 people of 10 were selected.
Tips: - Try to be a leader right from the beginning
- Make sure GD doesn't become a fish market else all the group members will end up with nothing
- Read about e-commerce regularly. Be aware of all the developments.
- After you have made your points, give opportunities to others who haven't been able to speak. Helps you a lot.
- Prepare in groups. It was a real game changer for me.
Duration: 15 minutes
Round: Guesstimate Interview
Experience: Didn't do it really well. Was stuck initially but came on the right track by the end.
Tips: This is one part where you need preparation. You MUST have an idea as to how to approach these type of questions. A cliche but yeah, answer isn't important, approach is. Ask your friends in IITs regarding books, especially from IIT B. Group studies help, believe it or not.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: My answers were a little short and I think I could have done better there.
Tips: Take your time to think. Think of the most practical answer as in what you really would have done had you been in that situation. Explain why did you do so. Out of the box suggestions may work but they have their own risks. Use them if you're confidant.
