PERSONAL INTERVIEW ( 2-HR rounds)

In this round the interviewer will pick out the not so good points of your resume and keep on asking you questions pertaining to it. Here they just want to see if you can handle stress and yet think fast, your risk taking appetite, dedication and motivation for working in this field. Unlike other HR interviews here one has to give importance to this round too.

Tips for Personal Interview :

1.Never look the watch while solving the maths questions, you don’t have time for that.

2.They are very experienced people, so be true. Speak frankly and straight forward.

3.Be patient and bold enough, to face the stress levels.

SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCES

Both the aptitude tests were of good standard. Both the interviews were 30 min to 40 min. long. Every sentence you say will be scrutinized, also every claim in your resume will be looked into.
