Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Tips: Try not to lie in the resume.
Make sure the formatting is crisp.
Do not forget to highlight important points
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I felt the GD was slightly chaotic, with a lot of cross talk. Thus we couldn't deliberate on some important points as the course of discussion was being continuously shifted and some subtle details were overlooked. Our group came to a conclusion a tad bit too early after which our moderator questioned us possible situations and scenarios that we hadn't taken into consideration. Two people made it through the GD, me and a friend of mine.
Tips: Make sure the moderator notices you. For that be loud and clear while you talk.
Address the group as a whole. Maintain eye contact with everyone.
A common myth as far as GDs are concerned is that the person who talks the most goes through. You might talk for 20 minutes straight and still might not make it through if you do not put across relevant points.
Think before you speak. Only speak if you have something that would really add value to the discussion. Avoid repeating or reframing points that have been already made by other members.
Listen to other people. Always remember that the group as a whole is being judged.
Keep a track of noteworthy points made by other members by writing them down on a notepad. This will help you conclude better and ensures that you don't miss out on anything important.
The most important aspect, make sure that the group comes to a conclusion. The whole exercise of the GD is to come to a decision and not just analysis.
Duration: 25 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It started out with the interviewer asking a few HR questions about life at IIT and how IIT had helped mould myself. Following questions were based on my summer internship project and theory/practical application of heat exchangers. The interviewer was very encouraging throughout and didn't try to grill me. I fumbled a bit in certain questions but managed to answer them after a few hints by the interviewer.
Tips: A major part of your technical interview would be on the theory behind the projects that you have undertaken. So make sure that you are thorough with the theory behind them.
A basic knowledge of all courses that you have completed is expected and most of the questions are application based. So brushing up all your course would definitely help.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: My HR in my opinion was pretty peaceful. It comprised of generic HR questions.
Tips: Try framing a story around every question. For that expect what questions they might ask you and be ready with answers for them beforehand.
Do some background research on the companies. Employers are generally pleased if you quote facts related to company you are interviewing for and it also shows that you have done you homework and that you are genuinely interested in the position they have to offer.
General Tips: Be aware of the company you are applying to.
Make sure your subject basics are good.
Try to attend Mock GDs. It will help you practice and analyse your wea

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview consisted of technical questions pertaining to subjects mentioned in the resume which added that extra element of comfort.
This was followed by an industrial problem which was open to numerous solutions and the only thing that probably mattered was the direction and quality of the design implementation. All in all it was an exciting experience with questions being fired from both sides.
Tips: This is a tip not just for technical but also for the HR round. Your resume consists of the highlights of your student life so ensure that you drive your interview towards your resume points so that you can quickly pick that up as an example. This will ensure that you leave a mark, having communicated your strength verbally, because you can do much more to elaborate on the significance of your achievements in the interview than you can in a one line description on your resume.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I don't know the criteria used by the company for the shortlist. But they didn't have a cg cutoff of any sort.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: We had % minutes to go through the topic and prepare. Then had 20 minutes to discuss and 5 minutes to conclude. We compared pros and cons of both the technology and came to a conclusion. We looked at the human factor of the problem where the livelihood of the people are affected vs the profits that company could make. We made the mistake of considering the company to be pretty young even though nothing like that was mentioned.
Tips: Consider and stick to assumptions that can be made from the information given in a logical manner.
Duration: 30 mins minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Asked me to run him through my resume. Once I mentioned about my internship, he asked me a question regarding the problems faced by pipelines since I had worked at a company that develops pipeline monitoring systems. Then we went on to discuss a refrigerant flowing through the pipelines in a factory. I have to make the flow more laminar to improve the heat removal rate. I told that reynolds number can be used to determine type of flow. Explained how each term in the reynolds number could be changed and finally came to the conclusion that the refrigerant liquid would need to be changed.
Tips: They look at only your professional experiences or projects that you have done. So mention these first and be confident about every detail regarding them. Each person would be asked questions based on this and the subjects they have mentioned in their resume.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: Asked about internship and explained about the mechanism I had designed. He gave me a problem statement and told me to make a design for it immediately without using any electronics or engines. Once I suggested a mechanism, He started reducing the items that I could use. Once I finally came to the design he had in mind with a little guidance from him. He handed me over to another interviewer who had been listening in on the phone. He asked me to tell me about through of my strengths and a weakness of mine as my favourite professor would tell me. And as a final question the main interviewer asked me whether I would choose ITC, HUL or P&G.
Tips: Be confident and try to connect with the interviewer.

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Filling the form on the HUL careers page was great as it eventually helped me in preparation for the non-technical questions asked in the interview

Experience: It was informative and fun.
Duration: 25 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I was extremely happy by the way this interview was conducted as it wasn't testing of memory power (formulas or diagrams), rather the testing of my approach towards real life problems and how I would go about solving them, which is basically what one needs to do at any company
Round: HR Interview
Experience: This interview consisted of questions like, tell me about yourself, why HUL, why should HUL choose you, etc. which I believe are important questions and it's answers should be considered important by a company as it gives insight into a candidate's mind, character and plans for the future
General Tips: I would advice people not to prepare TOO MUCH in things which are not going to be helpful for them anywhere apart from the selection process. I would rather suggest them to concentrate on their everyday work (projects, academics, etc.) which is one of the major criteria of their selection, and just go along with the process.
Also another extremely important thing is believing in yourself and the things you have done as it will significantly add to your confidence during the interview. Also be truthful. Do not make up things or increase impact of your success than what it actually was

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Its a form which takes in details both factual and personal in the form of anecdotes, essentially a very very concise description of your past experiences at work and how they connect with the qualities required at the job.
Tips: Being genuine here will save from early elimination since there's a long way forward solely based on your answers.
Never give any sort of location preferences when asked, if you are seriously interested!
Touch all key areas in your profile never underestimate any one of them.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The GD group consisted of all familiar faces which helped in breaking the tension, although I didn't start/direct, I spoke about 3-4 points which I thought were important factors in decision making.
Tips: A tiniest bit of unpredictability lies as always in case of GDs but ensure these-Quality of points put forward (matters more than the quantity)
Show initiative to let others speak as well (Just in case)
Never compromise with key moral conflict areas and don't presume or arrive at a conclusion earlier because it might so happen that you may end up defending yourself for the rest of GD hence not being able to put good points on board.
Duration: 5+15 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The best part of the process I believe because the controls are given to you the second PI begins which means every PI has a different story.
Tips: Communication skills are of utmost importance.
Know your projects and keep concepts at fingertips because a minute or two is what you get to convince the interviewer whether you actually know what you did.
For a MechE student, Revise basics of key department subjects like Applied Thermo-Fluids (Pumps, Condensers, Cooling Towers, boilers, etc.)
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Every level is an elimination round with the trickiest one as last. This is taken by a very senior level manager with around 10 years of experience so he/she knows what he wants and grills everyone on those parameters (who you are as a person). I couldn't know then but when I came out, people told me it lasted for about an hour (50 minutes or so).
Tips: Expect tricky questions both basic technical and HR like -
What is the definition of fun for you? Why supply chain management? etc.
Hold yourself in a very composed manner and know when to stop and pull back in an interview.
Believing that you are the ideal candidate is the first step to convince someone else. Explore Why?
Skill Tips: Thermodynamics Concepts, Mechanisms, and individual project related technical know-how.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The app I had to fill for ITC was really really very intensive. It took me quite some time to just come up with what I could write in my app.
Tips: But have patience while writing your app, be honest (however you can tone it up, but being within limits of genuineness). Write it preferably when you are relaxed and don't do it in a haste. It does really matter what you write in your app sometimes.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: My group overall was a very decent one. We performed well as a team. And almost everybody could and did speak really well.
Tips: I personally feel it doesn't matter much as to who begins or concludes a GD. Just that whenever you get to speak, be logical and make sense. Your contribution should help in driving the group towards a conclusion. Avoid redundant reiteration of points already been made and try to be systematic, as in have a proper plan that helps finish your discussion in time and speak it out loud if you have one.Speak or refute a person only when you have a solid point and be very very polite and considerate.
Duration: 25 minutes
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Went very peacefully, without much stress, without any load, just went on talking in the flow and seemed to have got over in a flick.
Tips: Be smiling always. Even if you are nervous, don't let it be apparent, fake confidence. Believe me it really helps! Apart from that, be honest and more importantly be yourself. It's really as simple as that!

College Name: IIT Madras
Funny Moments: My first interview begins with the interviewer commenting on the way I was dressed and tells me that it was so impeccable and that he feels ashamed to sit in front of me. And then some more general and somewhat fun questions, just to make me feel comfortable.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Resume shortlist was on the basis of CGPA. A minimum criterion of 8.0 was observed. Though certain people with CGPA above 8.0 were not selected
Tips: Try to include a good combination of PORs and Previous Interns or Projects
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: We were given a list of 15 items which we had to arrange on the basis of the importance in the scenario of a plane crash survival. It was a good GD. I ended up starting and moderating the GD
Tips: If you see that no one is taking initiative then try to moderate the GD or else try to add value addition points.
Duration: 25 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It wasn't exactly a technical interview but rather a mix of both HR and Tech. The panel asked me about my project, a few questions of thermodynamics and about my POR. I had asked the HR lady if I could interact with PR people in ITC since I wanted to see how professional PR people work. She was interested in the question.
Tips: Try to remain calm. Ask questions related to your liking. Don't just ask a question for the sake of asking one.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was again a mix of HR and Technical questions. They asked me about my project. They also asked me about fonts. What is 'serif' and 'sans-serif'. I also tried to drive the interview since the panel got bored with my project information. I asked them the same question as I had asked in the previous interview. Then afterwards they asked me if I was into communication. I told them about my new hobby of pen-freindship which they liked a lot.
General Tips: Work harder on the generic HR questions like- Why you? ; Why ITC?; Why FMCG? I wasn't prepared and it was a bit painful.
Try to drive the interview where you want it to go. I was unable to do this too and it messed up with certain aspects of the interview.
Also try to be comfortable with the panel
Skills: Positions Of Responsibility POR, Areas Of Interest, Course Grades, Core Courses Concepts, Speaking Skill

Funny Moments: In the GD, instead of saying 'we can use a machete to kill animals' I blurted 'we can use a machete to kill people' :')
In the interview the panel asked to distinguish between serif and sans-serif. I wasn't expecting this at all.
