Duration: 1 hour minute
Total Questions: 100

Interview Questionnaire 

4 Questions

  • Q1. A cricket puzzle
  • Q2. Sorting and Searching in real-life scenario puzzle
  • Q3. A couple of questions about electrical and electronics engineering (my branch)
  • Q4. A couple of questions about what I envision

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Enlightening. Really had to rack my brains for that hour. Made a lot of corrections in my own answers before confirming a choice. The coding section was amusing - some MCQ's had programs for each option and you had to 'choose' the right program. 
I still remember trembling with excitement/fear when my name was called out in the selected list.
Tips: Strengthen your basics. 
Timing is never a problem is you do not ponder over each obstacle. Be alert during the test - many questions require common sense over formulae. Read the rules: All the questions in this test were MCQ type without any negative marking. ANSWER ALL before the time ends.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 60

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: A touchy topic as the moderators were (probably) parents and all your comments would reflect your own upbringing. Diplomacy was a major flavor in most of the arguments presented. 
The GD was conducted methodically and everyone was given at least one chance to state their views. I was digressing in the beginning but quickly took control of the situation by assessing the environment.
Tips: Be confident and rational in your thoughts.NOBODY likes a drama queen, please present your views with a polite intensity.
Listen to all who are present, you may not know everything.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: I apologize as I don't remember the questions specifically. 
The interviewer was exceptionally pleasant and was even nice enough to explain the intricate details of cricket (yes, I am an Indian and I am not a cricket lover :p). I imagine that he liked my method of solving and never-give-up attitude (I did not get the right answer in the first three tries). The rest of the queries simply probed into my basics. Had I been cramming up advanced theorems, I am sure I would have faltered. However, with little hesitation, I braved through all his questions. And I still thank goodness that I did. 
I remember the interviewer saying one statement distinctly - 'The rounds get easier as you keep qualifying'. Not sure how far that is applicable to you, but I sure can vouch for it. :)
Tips: Candor is a refreshing quality. Please imbibe it.
Spend some time with yourself. Think about who you are and what do you want to become. 
Do not be ashamed if money matters to you. Just back it up with virtues. :p
SMILE, you make the world a better place. Or at least the interview room. :D

General Tips: I have told most of what I could in the earlier sections... Last tip: Being nice is a choice. Choose it! :)
Skill Tips: The most fun way to acquire these skills is to interact with people, discuss ideas, solve random aptitude tests WITH a friend, etc. Do not feel embarrassed to ask someone for help.
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
Skills: Analytical, Verbal, Coding, Diplomacy, Technical foundations (pertaining to your branch), General knowledge
College Name: VIT VELLORE
Motivation: As I studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering through my college years, I realized that I may not be the best man for it. Sure, anyone can get good grades - even I did. However, I believe that instead of hoarding up a core technical job and finding ways to be contented in it would make life a chore.
So, I looked into new pastures and EY came at the right time. As a brilliant platform for a career take-off, EY spans across economics, consulting and computer coding - which I am excited for. My time in college has indicated my preferences for these fields and I am now confident of my path.
Funny Moments: Placement time wasn't easy as the wait was enough to drive one crazy. My impatience for the company's arrival, the test results, the GD results and finally the interview results left little scope for humor.
Apart from a few inside jokes with friends, a handful of instances like running from one written test to another and tripping on the way; rambling away during the GD so much so that the moderator has to end explaining the topic again; stopping a chuckle during the interview but ending up in a violent bout of cough make me laugh even today...
Oh yes! The interviewer's face when I asked if ODI matches were the ones with 50 overs or what. Epic! XD
