Round: Group Discussion Experience: The GD was actually a group exercise on a case. I made it a point not to speak too much but made decent contribution. The solution that group decided on was proposed by me.
Round: Interview Experience: In the interview, the notes that I made the previous night helped. I was asked some questions like “why the company” “where do you see yourself” etc. to which I knew the answers the company was looking for (inference from their PPT). They were looking for somebody who will stick with their company for two-three years and then wants to pursue an MBA. I gave them the answer they were looking for. There were questions based on my resume as well along with some general questions like “Using your knowledge in CS/IT how do you eliminate hunger in India?” etc. I asked for some time to think whenever I felt the need. I was constantly reminding myself that this was one chance that I could not spurn as I did not have many shortlists over next 4 days (Also, companies were backing out at will). I came out feeling confident. I told one of my friends if I did not get into this company, I might as well give up on my placement that session. Luckily, I got through. I felt so relieved that I danced in my wing. (Something which I haven’t done for my admission into IIMA) The sheer mental pressure in those times is huge in magnitude, I am happy that I got over it in 5 days. Tips: I tried to put down answers on paper, to some standard HR questions, also made notes on the company, what I remember form the PPT, what question should I ask the interviewer etc. It helped a lot!
General Tips: Placement Preparation: This is the most important phase according to me. Your actual placement will depend on what you do (or don’t do) in this phase. Before you start off, do a realistic analysis of your profile. Identify the sector you would want to get into. Identify the spikes in your profile. Make sure you highlight them properly in your resume e.g., you might be a six pointer but in the sixth semester you might’ve got an eight. Put it there. It is bound to have an impact on the recruiters. Spend a lot of time on resume making because a good resume helps a lot not only in short listing, but also in interviews. People don’t want to look at badly written resume. Try and make company specific resumes! (Yes, it helps!) From a good resume, recruiter can always infer what he can expect. Be specific, crisp and use action verbs for greater impact. You may want to refer to the list of action verbs on the MIT site.
The golden rule for placements according to me is “Information is wealth”. There is a lot of information available on PAS, in the placement guides and other channels. Utilize them properly to understand what companies' offer, what companies look for and what you offer to the companies. Take some time off to go through the feedback on the PAS. Try and preferably go through all of them. This helps you in getting a hang of what all companies might come to recruit. Importantly, you will see some trends in which they recruit e.g., some companies recruit only 9 pointers. (Of course they might drastically change their criteria but not many companies change at a time!)Identify those companies which are likely to recruit you. Try not to miss the PPTs of those companies. When you are attending a PPT it is always helpful if you are attentive. I am not suggesting that you jot down whatever is being said, but make some observations about the company. This helps you to answer the “why do you want to join the company” question.Coming to the actual preparation, one section people often neglect is the HR questions section. Remember, this is the round when a company looks for perfect fits and all the effort you had put to get to that round will go down the drain if you don’t do well here. Most of the times, questions like “Tell me about you” etc seem to be very innocuous but believe me, they aren’t. They are the killer questions which will eliminate people in the last after having put in a lot of effort. Of course preparation for other sections is equally important.
In addition to all this, most important thing is the mental preparation. However good you may be, you might still be rejected by a couple of companies. Don’t get disheartened. Be prepared for the same. I have seen people getting shortlisted right from day 1, finally getting placed well after 15 days. You have to get prepared for the worst, while hoping for the best.
