Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Resume is the most important part of your whole placement process. Your resume reflects your whole profile, what you are. So, we had to do that properly. Main thing is the format of the resume. For getting the proper format itself we had to go through a lot, but our staffs do guide us so that's not a problem.
Tips: Stick to the proper and latest format and make sure your resume shouldn't be more than 2 pages, that's ideal for a fresher. Write only those points that are valid and if any question asked related to that, you can answer.

Round: Test
Experience: We had gone through a lot of practice tests during the placement classes and if your English is good, you will easily get through it. They just give basic grammer which we have already learnt in our school days. The Quant's part is also easy and basic maths that we have done in our primary school (7-10). Reasoning part completely based on your IQ level.
Tips: Focus on your vocabulary. Read books, articles and whatever you can. Just keep yourself up to date. Practice the basic quants. There are various books for both Quant's and reasoning. Just keep practising.

My interview went for almost half an hour, but for few it got over even in 10-15 mins, so it depends.
Tips: Just be confident. Presentation is very important. Present yourself in a confident manner and be calm and patience. You should have good communication skill.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview was on the next day and they asked us to come by 10 for interview.. But I was interviewed around 430 PM and I was already frustrated.. The one who interviewed me was a lady who was in her early 30's and she was hot.. So as usual the first question was tell me about yourself and the next question was why ece and unfortunately I didn't prepare for that question.. So the first thing that popped into my mind was Sujatha sir.. So I just told that he is my inspiration and so and so(Never ever say you're inspired by someone to take ece unless you're really inspired).. Her next question was have you done any paper presentation and I said no.. She asked you've taken ECE with such interest and why you haven't done any paper presentation.. Then I told her how tough is ece.. She moved to next question and asked about my project and I explained and then she asked me why IT field and I told.. Then she said the interview is over and I shook hands and left.. This was my worst interview ever I thought.. Verdict : I got selected..
