Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Number of people were 8. Generally, the topics are repeated so it would be a good idea to think about them before as everybody else will. However, one should be prepared for a fresh topic. Structuring and controlling/moderating the group is very important and will fetch heavy points. Also ITC is a very ethical company, so a proper decorum and formal environment is needed in the GD. Shouting and being a bad listener gets one negative points.
Tips: One could play certain games like speaking for a minute on any random topic given by someone else. These games help remove the inhibition of speaking in English and add to fluency. The only way to improve discussion skills is practicing speaking in English on random topics.
Duration: 20-25 minutes

Round: HR Interview
Tips: Yes, they do ask this difficult question, but the key is to remain positive and not regret any experience.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I was asked basics of process control (as my work in internship was linked to it ). However, I was not very comfortable with this subject, so I kindly requested them to ask from my strong subject Fluid dynamics. (Again , this is a risk which paid off in my case, might not work always.) Panel consists of 2 HR guys and one senior alum of IIT B and the duration was 40 minutes. Since my internship was with HUL, a lot of questions were asked on the project and its utility. BE thorough with any internship/projects that are mentioned in the form. I was also asked to defend my not getting a PPO with HUL.

General Tips: 1. Good CPI and department rank is a big plus
2. Should have clear basic understanding of technical course materials, specially of those courses which relate to industry (eg: fluid and thermodynamics for chemical).
3. Form is very important, spare a lot of time and be thorough with all the answers
4. For people with very strong profiles, prepare convincing answers of why ITC.
5. They need strong headed people but do not be over confident or cocky
6. Lastly, always wear a smile to the interviews.
Skill Tips: Along with basics of equipments used in factories like pumps, Heat exchangers, mixers, etc. However basic concepts of all courses should be revised as there could be questions from controls, separation process etc.
Skills: Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics
College Name: IIT KANPUR
