Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Its a form which takes in details both factual and personal in the form of anecdotes, essentially a very very concise description of your past experiences at work and how they connect with the qualities required at the job.
Tips: Being genuine here will save from early elimination since there's a long way forward solely based on your answers.
Never give any sort of location preferences when asked, if you are seriously interested!
Touch all key areas in your profile never underestimate any one of them.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The GD group consisted of all familiar faces which helped in breaking the tension, although I didn't start/direct, I spoke about 3-4 points which I thought were important factors in decision making.
Tips: A tiniest bit of unpredictability lies as always in case of GDs but ensure these-Quality of points put forward (matters more than the quantity)
Show initiative to let others speak as well (Just in case)
Never compromise with key moral conflict areas and don't presume or arrive at a conclusion earlier because it might so happen that you may end up defending yourself for the rest of GD hence not being able to put good points on board.
Duration: 5+15 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The best part of the process I believe because the controls are given to you the second PI begins which means every PI has a different story.
Tips: Communication skills are of utmost importance.
Know your projects and keep concepts at fingertips because a minute or two is what you get to convince the interviewer whether you actually know what you did.
For a MechE student, Revise basics of key department subjects like Applied Thermo-Fluids (Pumps, Condensers, Cooling Towers, boilers, etc.)

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Every level is an elimination round with the trickiest one as last. This is taken by a very senior level manager with around 10 years of experience so he/she knows what he wants and grills everyone on those parameters (who you are as a person). I couldn't know then but when I came out, people told me it lasted for about an hour (50 minutes or so).
Tips: Expect tricky questions both basic technical and HR like -
What is the definition of fun for you? Why supply chain management? etc.
Hold yourself in a very composed manner and know when to stop and pull back in an interview.
Believing that you are the ideal candidate is the first step to convince someone else. Explore Why?

Skill Tips: Thermodynamics Concepts, Mechanisms, and individual project related technical know-how.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Filling the form on the HUL careers page was great as it eventually helped me in preparation for the non-technical questions asked in the interview
Tips: I think the four questions on the careers page should be given more importance

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: It was informative and fun.
Duration: 25 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I was extremely happy by the way this interview was conducted as it wasn't testing of memory power (formulas or diagrams), rather the testing of my approach towards real life problems and how I would go about solving them, which is basically what one needs to do at any company

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This interview consisted of questions like, tell me about yourself, why HUL, why should HUL choose you, etc. which I believe are important questions and it's answers should be considered important by a company as it gives insight into a candidate's mind, character and plans for the future

General Tips: I would advice people not to prepare TOO MUCH in things which are not going to be helpful for them anywhere apart from the selection process. I would rather suggest them to concentrate on their everyday work (projects, academics, etc.) which is one of the major criteria of their selection, and just go along with the process.

Also another extremely important thing is believing in yourself and the things you have done as it will significantly add to your confidence during the interview. Also be truthful. Do not make up things or increase impact of your success than what it actually was
Skills: Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Ability To Think On Your Feet, Project, Knowledge Gained Through Recent Research Project, Approaching A Problem, Technical Analysis
Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: I want to become an industrialist, and HUL is one of the biggest which can offer me a lifetime experience. Also, their internship is extremely structured and their leadership program is amazing

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Resume shortlist was on the basis of CGPA. A minimum criterion of 8.0 was observed. Though certain people with CGPA above 8.0 were not selected
Tips: Try to include a good combination of PORs and Previous Interns or Projects

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: We were given a list of 15 items which we had to arrange on the basis of the importance in the scenario of a plane crash survival. It was a good GD. I ended up starting and moderating the GD
Tips: If you see that no one is taking initiative then try to moderate the GD or else try to add value addition points.
Duration: 25 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It wasn't exactly a technical interview but rather a mix of both HR and Tech. The panel asked me about my project, a few questions of thermodynamics and about my POR. I had asked the HR lady if I could interact with PR people in ITC since I wanted to see how professional PR people work. She was interested in the question.
Tips: Try to remain calm. Ask questions related to your liking. Don't just ask a question for the sake of asking one.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was again a mix of HR and Technical questions. They asked me about my project. They also asked me about fonts. What is 'serif' and 'sans-serif'. I also tried to drive the interview since the panel got bored with my project information. I asked them the same question as I had asked in the previous interview. Then afterwards they asked me if I was into communication. I told them about my new hobby of pen-freindship which they liked a lot.

General Tips: Work harder on the generic HR questions like- Why you? ; Why ITC?; Why FMCG? I wasn't prepared and it was a bit painful.
Try to drive the interview where you want it to go. I was unable to do this too and it messed up with certain aspects of the interview.
Also try to be comfortable with the panel
Skills: Positions Of Responsibility POR, Areas Of Interest, Course Grades, Core Courses Concepts, Speaking Skill
Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras
Funny Moments: In the GD, instead of saying 'we can use a machete to kill animals' I blurted 'we can use a machete to kill people' :')

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: This step is one of the most important steps in the process. Here, you have no say whatsoever. Your entire life written on one side of a page is what decides if you are eligible for the internship. I spent almost 6-7 hours everyday for a week to prepare my resume.
Tips: Always get your resume reviewed by 3/4 seniors. Not only your immediate seniors, but also pass outs. This helps a lot since they have way more experience as compared to you in this aspect.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I had deep confidence in myself for clearing Group Discussion, since I felt I could talk my way through any situation. It is very important to talk to your group members beforehand. This helps in establishing a connect with others, making it easy for you to open up to them.
Tips: Please turn off your phone, or at least turn it silent. During my GD, one guy's phone rang, and the room suddenly turned awkward. Talk freely. No need to look at the moderators. Have a normal discussion and speak your heart out, but do not dominate. Also, do not repeat points, and do not speak unless you have a valid point.
Duration: 25 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: My interview was very relaxed. There were others who found it tough to answer questions asked in the interviews. Do revise the relevant courses before going for interview. ITC has a form named KITES, which you are supposed to fill while submitting your resume. Fill it properly, and go through it before going for resume.
Tips: Be fluent in English, it helps more than you think. Do not lie about anything in your resume. They definitely ask you questions based on what you have written in your resume and KITES form.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: My second interview was very peaceful. I was just asked about my projects. I felt they were testing me on how involved I was with my previous projects.
Tips: Feel relaxed if you have reached till here. You are a very possible candidate for the internship. Just be yourself!

General Tips: Be relaxed. If you are worthy, you shall get the internship. Discuss with your friends on how you will answer the HR questions.
Skill Tips: Revise these courses before the internship process starts.
Skills: Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics

College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: This is one of the few companies that come to IIT Madras on day 1 of internship drive. I talked to my seniors who interned at ITC. The way in which this company is different is that the work profile is a techno-managerial one, and a purely technical one. This lies in my interest.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Tips: Try not to lie in the resume.
Make sure the formatting is crisp.
Do not forget to highlight important points

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I felt the GD was slightly chaotic, with a lot of cross talk. Thus we couldn't deliberate on some important points as the course of discussion was being continuously shifted and some subtle details were overlooked. Our group came to a conclusion a tad bit too early after which our moderator questioned us possible situations and scenarios that we hadn't taken into consideration. Two people made it through the GD, me and a friend of mine.
Tips: Make sure the moderator notices you. For that be loud and clear while you talk.
Address the group as a whole. Maintain eye contact with everyone.
A common myth as far as GDs are concerned is that the person who talks the most goes through. You might talk for 20 minutes straight and still might not make it through if you do not put across relevant points.
Think before you speak. Only speak if you have something that would really add value to the discussion. Avoid repeating or reframing points that have been already made by other members.
Listen to other people. Always remember that the group as a whole is being judged.
Keep a track of noteworthy points made by other members by writing them down on a notepad. This will help you conclude better and ensures that you don't miss out on anything important.
The most important aspect, make sure that the group comes to a conclusion. The whole exercise of the GD is to come to a decision and not just analysis.
Duration: 25 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It started out with the interviewer asking a few HR questions about life at IIT and how IIT had helped mould myself. Following questions were based on my summer internship project and theory/practical application of heat exchangers. The interviewer was very encouraging throughout and didn't try to grill me. I fumbled a bit in certain questions but managed to answer them after a few hints by the interviewer.
Tips: A major part of your technical interview would be on the theory behind the projects that you have undertaken. So make sure that you are thorough with the theory behind them.
A basic knowledge of all courses that you have completed is expected and most of the questions are application based. So brushing up all your course would definitely help.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: My HR in my opinion was pretty peaceful. It comprised of generic HR questions.
Tips: Try framing a story around every question. For that expect what questions they might ask you and be ready with answers for them beforehand.
Do some background research on the companies. Employers are generally pleased if you quote facts related to company you are interviewing for and it also shows that you have done you homework and that you are genuinely interested in the position they have to offer.

General Tips: Be aware of the company you are applying to.
Make sure your subject basics are good.
Try to attend Mock GDs. It will help you practice and analyse your wea

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview consisted of technical questions pertaining to subjects mentioned in the resume which added that extra element of comfort.
This was followed by an industrial problem which was open to numerous solutions and the only thing that probably mattered was the direction and quality of the design implementation. All in all it was an exciting experience with questions being fired from both sides.
Tips: This is a tip not just for technical but also for the HR round. Your resume consists of the highlights of your student life so ensure that you drive your interview towards your resume points so that you can quickly pick that up as an example. This will ensure that you leave a mark, having communicated your strength verbally, because you can do much more to elaborate on the significance of your achievements in the interview than you can in a one line description on your resume.
