Interview
On campus interview process with around 4-5 colleges participating.
The first step was an aptitude test which contained some 30 odd questions, we were instructed only to mark the correct responses as the wrong answers carried negative marking.
After evaluating the results, students shortlisted for the next round were called at a later date to the office building for interview process. A psychometric test scenario was given to all involving a real life scenario. We had to provide our opinion on the case and justify it.
The interview started with asking a few basic questions about profile and background. The major point of discussion was based on the case study included as part of the psychometric test.
