Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - They ask really difficult questions and try to manipulate freshers.

Round: Test
Experience: Easy to crack.Questions regarding aptitude were quite easy n could be finished within a time span of 20 min. even without prior practice.Some questions were from ic engines which u cud answer only if u love the subject.Rest were very easy if u just know the basics of subject.Some were basic physics.
Tips: U dont have to worry about time which is more then enough in this company's paper.Most companies repeat the same paper in every NIT n even every year. M not sure about this one ,but most companies do so ,so u can ask your friends in different nit's.However u can easily crack it yourself .Some company papers and aptitude questions could be practiced from INDIABIX.COMHave good or at-least avg. knowledge of ic engines.U don require any coaching to crack any campus papers n according to me not even for gate. Just try to have love for the subject u study even if it is a day bfore the exam.If u aspire about dream companies..then hv very gud pointers(9) . However if u want to go in an automobile company 7 to 7.5 is enough. Baaki college me aish karo n be confident.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: was not that easy. Some didnt understood the topic in first go.One of the members asked them to give out the meaning of topic to which they first replied if u dont know the topic go out but the next instant explained coz they wanted the gd to be a healthy one.I was a bit under-confident initially but never felt in my mind m going out.Din spoke too much ,just made my presence felt .
Tips: Dont panic if u dont understand the topic. Listen to others , make new points from their points or elaborate the sameNever look nervous...even if u are.The most important one...Ask the hr's to elaborate the topic if u dont understand it . If your group hesitates ,then you are going for a bigger trouble...so ask...atleast your group then has a chance rather than speaking rubbish.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: They called 3 students from each initially made group of 8. There were a total of 16 students called again.2 groups were made.Initially we thought we were in an unsafe zone...or so called unsure zone and so were made to face another gd...but later realized wen they said...BEST OF BEST...i personally had more points this time but still under-performed by a large margin..coz i was getting interrupted every time and i let the other person speak and some of the points were spoken by others ...i felt a low chance..still i did kept on speaking confidently ,never made them feel that i was going down....
Tips: Be confident whatever situation may be.Always try to keep you point and have a good voice modulation.But even if you are polite to let the other one continue just for the sake of good conversation...that too has a positive effect...atleast on a sensible HR.Dont ever let it come to your face that you are loosing hope.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Out of the 11 selected finally from gd, i was the last one to face the interview. It actually was to be a techno cum hr interview which actually went on to be a purely hr interview.It is actually the way where u divert them.I spoke about my strengths and even went on to connect it with my weaknesses.It was actually stunning that it even went on to connect to a personal question which is rare at an interview.While i thought i ws sureshot rejected...i was first to be selected despite the last interview and even asked to announce the other selected students...which was a gr8 feeling.
Tips: Like i said before ...believe in your capabilities.Sure u cant know everything but be prepared for technical interview too.For me it was a luck by chance.Love what you study,even a least bit,then also.Most of all ,they try to take you down with a shocker...so stay calm and never let the thought come to your mind that i cant do it.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: By this time I was familiar with how to form a good group discussions. So, I waited for every one to come up with their points first and then channelized them to particular direction This made none of them to loose track. I used to back their points if others are moving away from the topic. Finally I concluded and everyone agreed upon it. It was peaceful discussion. After that I was the first one to get shortlisted for PI.

Round: Technical + Hr Interview
Experience: It was one of my best Interviews so far during our placement season. Both HR and Technical guy made me comfortable. It started with some basic HR questions like "Tell me about yourself?" followed by my internship projects and automobile industry questions like SI engines, Otto cycles, emission norms in India, power train, suspension. While I was answering my technical questions, HR was observing the way I was answering and depending on them, HR started asking some situation based questions. As I was fully prepared for HR questions I gave them spontaneously and frankly. Both HR and Technical guy were really impressed. Interview went on for 1:30 hrs and then I was given a chance to ask questions. Which I utilized very much, by asking them various company related questions. I was the only one to get selected from IIT G.
Tips: Be frank. Never answer a question if you know only half of it, it does no good. Be confident.
