Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I had got short-listed in Credit-Suisse, ITC, Citi Bank, EXL, Housing.com and many more later day companies.
Tips: Tailor your resumes depending on the companies.

Round: Test
Experience: Most of the aptitude test are very simple but you would need to prepare seriously for the technical tests. Mostly only core companies will have the technical tests.
Tips: CAT prep will come in handy.

Round: Group Discussion
Tips: Form groups among your friends and practice. It's very important. Do not try to dominate and undermine the participants during the discussion.

Skill Tips: Practice. Have one example from your life where you have demonstrated each of the various qualities.
Skills: Communication, Logical deductions , Leadership skills, Stress handling, Taking initiatives, puzzles

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: It was an easy exam(The UL one). Basic quant questions were asked. But easy exams are tricky ones. You cannot afford to make mistakes. So speed and accuracy were expected.
Tips: There are lot of companies that short list based on aptitude test. Most of them short lists around 40-50 people for the next round. So CAT preparation(or the likes of CAT,GRE etc) is a MUST even if you are not actually giving CAT. Speed and Accuracy is required. Practice infinite. Only then you can make it to the short list.
Duration: 30 minutes
Total Questions: 20

Round: HR ROUND
Experience: HR round was a happy round. I had to talk about me, which is easy if you are well aware of who you are and what you want. I was fortunate, I was asked an easy puzzle midway.
Tips: Self Introspection. Self Introspection. Self Introspection.















If you do that, you'll come up with a wonderful resume, super strong confidence and a cool interview.

Round: TECHNICAL ROUND
Experience: It was a 40 minute interview.This interview had a bit untidy start. It took time for me to handle the first question, where I had to increase the sales of sofas in a given time. But I took my time, jotted down my thoughts and never stopped again. So, stay cool throughout and it helps. I could do well in all 3 questions.







1. How do we increase Sales of Sofa over next 3 months?







2. Give me a strategy for a vab service to be launched in Chennai?







3. As a Consultant, Suggest revenue generation avenues for a Multiplex in loss.
Tips: Remember, case interviews doesn't have answers/solutions. The way you deal with the given problem(thought process) is looked at, rather than the final solution. One has to discuss his way with the interviewer, demand data from him and talk relevant stuff with confidence.

General Tips: Everything that you have ever done in your life matters. Grab something from whatever you do. Everything not only includes good CGPA, PORs, Extra Curriculars, but also the things that you always wanted to pursue.















Placements are like any other course, if you really want to thulp them, then target, plan and execute.
