Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Since it was an online interview, I was a little intimidated by the fact that there can be issues with the internet connection. Also, talking to people through the screen just seemed a little off to me. But, I did not let that get me. I took a deep breath and said to myself that it'll be ok. Now,about the interview. There were three rounds to the interview: HR, Technical, and Management rounds. The interview was started of with HR asking me to provide the identification. Then, it was the management round. He asked me question like: Why have you chosen Mechanical engineering ? How will you contribute towards IT? What is your dream? and some basic questions on mechanical engineering concepts. I was very calm in answering these questions. Explained everything very slowly and clearly, and it seems to have satisfied him. Second was the Technical round where he asked me some simple and basic questions on C and C ++. Questions were very basic but a detailed answer was expected. The thing that surprised me the most was how cool and calm the technical interviewee was. He was joking around, which relieved me a bit. Whatever answer I gave, I gave it with confidence, which seemed to have satisfied him. Lastly, there was HR round, which only involved general questions regarding the bond, work place, etc. Overall, the panel members were very calm. However, there were a few difficult questions to which I didn't know the answer to; I just told them I didn't know. Finally, my advise would be to remain calm, be very honest, and convey things slowly and clearly.
All the best!

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Interview process was good for me, but mostly due to luck. The questions I had prepared were similar to the ones they asked.

In general try to leave a good impression. For technical round try to at least show your pattern of thinking, how you approach a problem, even if you're not able to reach the direct answer. Sometimes the interview may be out of depth with the tech you know, so it's best to explain with an example and simplify it. If they get even a small idea, then consider your job half done

For the managerial round, try to impress with good communication skills. Make a joke or too, nothing too crass. The brighter you sound the more they'd think you're an okay person. Think about the questions deeply, though, sometimes it can be trick questions.
