Interview Preparation Tips

General Tips: "1. I felt the Apti was the toughest part in the whole process. 45 seconds is just not sufficient to answer the questions esp. the ones on Probability; so brush up on the math! If you've learnt your concepts well, the technical questions ought to be a breeze.
2. Make sure you speak some sense at least thrice in the GD, and you're through.
3. They never once interrupted me in the PI. They waited for me to complete what I was saying, and then the next question was based on my last two sentences! So be very careful of what you're saying esp. while answering the technical questions. Most importantly, be very genuine throughout the interview- speak your heart out- and don't worry about how it's going, in the middle of it!

Good luck."
Skill Tips: [It's generally good to ask them a question or two here. I asked them if I could choose my preferred work location, and how the work-culture was at Tata Motors]"
