Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Written test was on the CAT based pattern where they had questions from quantitative aptitude, verbal ability and logical reasoning. It was of mediocre difficulty but would require practice to ace it easily.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I interpreted it as the rays of sun which marks the beginning of a new day, a new hope and it spreads over to one and all equally and unbiased. Also religiously orange is also a very pure color. Some people compared organizations to orange, a fruit, as in where people are together under one name and even though they are of different natures and attitudes they work together for one firm.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview was a complete HR interview. They asked me about myself, my strengths and weakness and where do I see myself in the next 5 years. They also inquired about my long term and short term goals. These were very generic HR question about which I had already prepared.
This was all about my interview. As you can see it was a simple one, they had primarily made the selection based on the resume and how you answered the generic HR questions.
