Round: Interview Experience: Its not an elimination round, you can go with your informal clothes on. Any one who has prepared for day 1 and day2 companies will get through this round. Just read news papers and learn to shoot graphs here and there even if it has got absolutely no facts and definitely practice to write a lot. Tips: Be prepared with both for and against the topic coz the interviewer keeps changing the topic in between the GD.The topic was same as that of the case study Don’t write bullet-ed points, this makes your cases look small. Try applying your vocabulary spectrum. Try to give exhibits even if you don’t know any facts.
Round: Group Discussion Experience: 12 students on the table, one interviewer. Tips: Play old school .But don’t wait for your chance, just break into it, but with a gentlemanly attitude. Try giving examples. Throw arbitrary facts to prove your points, if you don’t remember the real figures.
Round: Interview Tips: Don’t start with your brilliancein your core subject. Tell them you hate your department. Convince them that you won’t ditch them for a Ph.D or an MBA. Tell them you have a friend at Wipro who keeps giving you intel about how great the company is. Look confident and if at times you can be funny, they will appreciate it!!
Skill Tips: 8 and above CGPA is required. Later it was lowered to 7.9, mine was 7.98. They mainly ask HR questions, so being involved in Extra-academic activities gives you more that you can talk of. I had an eye for coding in C++. Helped me on this, but my extra-academics list was enough. Coding was just a bonus. If they are non core its better. But my both the internships were core based. You just have to convince them why you are dropping from core. College Name: IIT KHARAGPUR
Round: Test Experience: Deloitte selection procedure involves a written test which is same as CAT format (certainly not that tough). Though I had not joined any test series to prepare for it, but I must strongly recommend that you should actually join a test series (provided by Career Launcher or TIME). This test series will actually help you to synchronize your mind to the format and moreover it would help to refresh the question solving skills which you used to exercise while preparing for JEE.
Round: Group Discussion Experience: general topic is given (mostly it is as to how you would go for implementing a new type of technology in a company, and hence you all have to decide the stepwise procedure for the implementation), then whole of the group is called in presentation room where each one is told personally to speak about the same topic as that of GD. This constitutes second round. Finally, if you clear it, you get to face the interviews. Tips: From now onwards, start reading newspaper daily. Just give at least one hour reading the editorials from newspaper and make it your habit. Not only for GD's, but for life in general, its very important that you should have a certain view about things happening around you and in the world and newspapers are the best thing which help you form your views and also know about the expert opinions on day to day topics. So, make sure that you read newspaper daily.
Round: Other Interview Experience: For interview, main thing is that you should be well conversed about everything you have mentioned on your resume. So, before you go for any interview, just make sure that you can speak about for 5 minutes on every single thing in resume. Deloitte is a company which is open for all the btech students and hence its mainly looking for the students who have a right attitude and are good at their interests. Tips: have a perfect set of communication skills. I had not done any special type of preparations for the interview or group discussions but all these skills actually developed during these years. I would advise that in order to gain more confidence at speaking, you should start taking challenges from now on and should actively participate in any sort of debates and GD.
When my turn came in I walked into the room and Found two people sitting over there. Wishing them Good Afternoon i was asked to take my seat and I sat comfortably. This is noted very carefully. I had a eye to eye contact with both of them. I handed over them my certificates for them to go through.

Interviewer: Can you give me some more details as to why you want to resign a Government job and join a private one?
Me: Yes, I would. Since I am having a family to look after and with the present job I am unable to keep my family with me and also since my job requires me to be available 24/7, 365 days this was not a problem when I did not have these responsibilities but now it has become compulsion for me to look after and for me I think what’s the use of earning the money and not enjoying them with family.
Interviewer: Ok tell me about yourself?

Interviewer: What was the person trying to tell? Me: I told him that the person was telling that he wanted a technical issue to be resolved pertaining to his Laptop.
Interviewer: What is the solution you have for him?
Me: I told him the procedure of how to solve his issue.
Interviewer: He smiled at me and said I would like to speak with my friend who wants to ask you about information. He works as a SME (subject Man Expert) and he picked up his cell and connected to that person and handed over me the phone and walked out of the room.
Interviewer: Hello Kiran I am Sam
Me: Hello sam
Interviewer: I work as a SME and hope Dennis told about me

Interviewer: What happens when these registry keys are deleted or corrupted and how can you delete the registry keys? Me: If the registry keys are deleted or corrupted then the application may not run or if it runs also it will create problems some where else and to delete the registry keys we need type in Regedit command in the run window and press enter andthen from the registry window search for the keys to delete and selecting them we need to press delete key .Interviewer: Do you know Computer networks? Me: Not fully but I have a fair idea Interviewer: Ok No issues. Thanks a lot. Me: thanks a lot and gave back the cell to Dennis. Interviewer: How was the interaction? Me: It was good (Dennis got a call and he typed in some thing in his laptop. I knew it was from sam) Interviewer: Ok kiran please wait out side will get back to you in a few min. Me: I said yes and walked out of the room and was little anxious but the people who were waiting outside wanted to inquire why it has taken a lot of time. After some time Dennis along with Sam came up to the lounge area and called me and spoke to me saying that they were satisfied with my interview and told that they were checking my accent and my technical knowledge and told me that I was selected for this round and need to attend a written technical test and also if I clear there will be a HR round and if cleared will get the appointment letter. Then they handed over a sealed envelop and told me to give to the HR I was a bit relaxed now and was waiting to go for the next round people around me congratulated. After few min a interview board member accompanied us in the Cab to another facility a few hundred meter away from this facility. When we came to this facility we were given tags to enter the facility and Pooja came and called me into the cabin.
Round: HR Interview Experience: HR Round HR: Good afternoon Kiran and took the packet Me: I said good Afternoon HR: Now there will be a written test and that too MCQ type go through the question paper and answer them and you have 30 minutes. Me: I took the paper and sat in the place assigned and went through the paper and answered them and after the time is up I handed over the answer sheet HR: Please sit in the waiting room I will be back in few min.Me: I said Ok and waited in the waiting room. After some time the HR came. HR: Congrats you cleared the written test Me: Thanks HR: So you are a defense person and where are you working? Me: Yes, I am working in Air Force Station Delhi. HR: So you want to join a pvt organization from a govt organization, don’t you feel that you are loosing security of job?Me: Yes, I want to join a corporate sector since it was a dream for me and I think the circumstance have paved the way for me since I am also not interested to be in Air Force because I am away from my family and also this posting makes it very difficult for me to be with my family and it will be for five years. Secondly I don’t feel any that I am loosing Job security since any how I have to retire after 20 years of service and I have finished 12 years and I cannot justify to my duty if I am not interested. So owing to moral grounds I want to join a pvt organization. HR: So you think that your family comes first than your job? Me: It depends on how a person thinks but for me both are important because without money I cannot survive and without a job I cannot earn so I balance both Job and Family and prioritize them. HR: What is the remuneration you are expecting from us? ME: I am expecting a good remuneration from you but I would be happy if I am paid as per your organizations standards so that I might not feel that I am left out in comparison with my colleagues. HR: Are you willing to work in any shift? Me: That would not be a problem for me because I have been doing duties in Air Force on the call and 24/7. So I do not have any problems HR: Ok you may go..Me: I thanked her and walked out of the room. After an hour the HR came and gave me all the details and told that I got Selected!!! This gave me the confidence that I can do well in the future. Though I did not join the Job it was a very good experience for me and it helped me in an interview which I attended in Bangalore in an IT company and which I have joined as a Quality Assurance Lead.

Round: Group Discussion Experience: GD was not a round included for Capgemini placement test,Pearson versant english test was there once you clear your apti but due to technical faults GD was the round taken.There was a group of 10 people and we were given topic and 5 mins for preparation then GD was started.I was the second one to speak on the topic,I was in the favour of MNC because I really feel that for freshers Indian IT company is not very great start.Rather if one starts with MNC then it gets a brand name associated with them and also global exposure for one.And also Indian IT sectors are largely collaborating with the MNCs so for fresher MNC is a good start than Indian IT company.
