Round: Resume Shortlist Experience: Fundae session by seniors and a resume workshop by some company. Also, sent resume to some seniors for their opinions and I think this was an important part of it. Tips: I suggest Pre-placement talks, are a must. What is more important is not to believe the PPTs completely and ask seniors about the level of fundaes (finance/tech/otherwise) and preparation required to crack the company. There is a lot of good material on ATKEARNEY and other website. Other than that I used the material available for years.
Round: Interview Experience: Final offers in my division were 12. There were two levels of case interviews. The first interview was to judge if I would be suitable for the Strategy and Operations profile or for the Technology and Integration profile. There were two interviewers. They explained to me both the profiles and asked me what I wanted to choose and why. Then asked me some general HR questions like why consulting, why you etc. Then started off with an informal case study. It was about a new company which wanted to start a new low cost airline and had no experience in this market till now. It has two options: either to acquire an existing company or to build up all processes on their own. I was first asked to qualitatively mention what all aspects I would consider. After that they asked me what new things could this company do. They were pretty satisfied with my answers and I was confident of getting listed in the next round. In the next round there was single interviewer who was looking quite senior. Asked some HR questions. One case study about a consumer durables dealer which was again qualitative. Asked some HR questions that's it.
General Tips: Lack of interaction with seniors throughout IIT stay was one thing for which I had to pay. I had no seniors in my wing and I had no fundae of the amount of preparation required. So make sure that you have certain information. College Name: IIT-Bombay

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.
