Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: The interview was a mix of technical and HR questions. Answered the HR questions confidently. Was not able to answer some technical questions but explained most of them when the interview gave some hints. Overall it was a pleasant interview.
Tips: HR questions like 'Describe yourself' ' 'Where do you see yourself in 'x' years' are general interview questions and should be prepared well. Listening to the pre interview presentation is also very important, mainly the career and salary graphs. As L&T is a core civil company, a sound knowledge is required. Be ready to use concepts from class XI and XII too. Be prepared to answer questions from your project and training.
Don't make wild guesses. If don't know the answer to any question, say so. If you are unsure about an answer, take permission to make a guess. Take time to think before answering. In case of conceptual questions, think aloud. If the interviewer sees that you are technically sound, he himself will nudge you towards the correct answer. And be confident. Don't be scared. Sit straight and answer clearly and smartly.
