Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Students were shortlisted based on academic performance and overall profile
Tips: Maintain a high CGPA

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: A problem statement was given to each participant. Extra points for candidates who started/concluded the GD. The case study was regarding a factory, which had to produce X bottles in two weeks, but faced a quality issue in the past. By addressing the quality issue, the production would get delayed. Participants had to discuss to come up with a solution. Out of 11 participants, 3 were selected for the next round.
Tips: Talk boldly and clearly. Try to come up with new ideas to solve the problem.
Duration: 40 minutes

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: The technical questions were purely practical based. I was grilled on my internships, project and fundamentals of electrical engineering.
Tips: No one can ace an HUL technical interview. The interviewer will purposely throw difficult questions and make you feel like a big loser during the interview. Never get succumbed to that. Try to answer as many questions as possible, and don't get stressed out.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: This step is one of the most important steps in the process. Here, you have no say whatsoever. Your entire life written on one side of a page is what decides if you are eligible for the internship. I spent almost 6-7 hours everyday for a week to prepare my resume.
Tips: Always get your resume reviewed by 3/4 seniors. Not only your immediate seniors, but also pass outs. This helps a lot since they have way more experience as compared to you in this aspect.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I had deep confidence in myself for clearing Group Discussion, since I felt I could talk my way through any situation. It is very important to talk to your group members beforehand. This helps in establishing a connect with others, making it easy for you to open up to them.
Tips: Please turn off your phone, or at least turn it silent. During my GD, one guy's phone rang, and the room suddenly turned awkward. Talk freely. No need to look at the moderators. Have a normal discussion and speak your heart out, but do not dominate. Also, do not repeat points, and do not speak unless you have a valid point.
Duration: 25 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: My interview was very relaxed. There were others who found it tough to answer questions asked in the interviews. Do revise the relevant courses before going for interview. ITC has a form named KITES, which you are supposed to fill while submitting your resume. Fill it properly, and go through it before going for resume.
Tips: Be fluent in English, it helps more than you think. Do not lie about anything in your resume. They definitely ask you questions based on what you have written in your resume and KITES form.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: My second interview was very peaceful. I was just asked about my projects. I felt they were testing me on how involved I was with my previous projects.
Tips: Feel relaxed if you have reached till here. You are a very possible candidate for the internship. Just be yourself!

General Tips: Be relaxed. If you are worthy, you shall get the internship. Discuss with your friends on how you will answer the HR questions.
Skill Tips: Revise these courses before the internship process starts.
Skills: Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics
Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: This is one of the few companies that come to IIT Madras on day 1 of internship drive. I talked to my seniors who interned at ITC. The way in which this company is different is that the work profile is a techno-managerial one, and a purely technical one. This lies in my interest.
