Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Its a simple test to check your people skills, your personality and whether you are capable to handle difficult situations
Tips: Its very simple, no need to worry abt it. Everyone clears this one.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The GD took place on 12th feb and so the topic was very recent. Everybody had  abundant data and thus plenty of points to make. It was a well structured GD, 10 minutes to discuss and 5 minutes to individually conclude the topic. I made my first point pretty late which was a wrong thing to do as I was asked about this in my interview. Later on I was successful to put 3-4 distinct points and as I was 8th amongst 10 ppl I could structure my conclusion well.
Tips: 1. Please read about the recent topics in newspaper.2.Numbers aren't important they don't make much difference. 3. If you are  applying for marketing/sales job be presentable, improve your diction and grammar. 4.Make distinct points.
Duration: 15 minutes

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HRs were very calm and poised, they gave me enough time to frame my answers. Overall it was a pleasant experience.
