Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Online Aptitude test. I attempted the verbal section firstly, since I was more confident on that part. After I was done with it, I opted for the questions of my domain and lastly the quant. Speed and accuracy were the deciding factors in that test.
Duration: 45 minutes
Total Questions: 45

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I had chosen to speak for the Sales and I was the first one to counter the person who spoke for R&D. Key was to let other's speak, listen carefully to your counterparts and have a positive body language throughout to make the moderator feel that you are very much a team person as well as you've your own standpoint.
Duration: 20 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Technical interview was conducted face to face with 2 interviewers.
Tips: Accept what you don't know but steer the interviewers to your strong points. You have to be clear on your favorite subjects or on the previous internships or trainings done. The person sitting opposite to you will try to puzzle you on your own answers. Try to be very clear on what you say.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: HR interview was over phone call. What I felt as to crack a interview, you don't have to be too clever.
Tips: Don't panic and keep your mind free of any expectations beforehand. That's all about my personal experience. :)
