We had 1 written test and 3 rounds of interview.... Technical, managerial and HR round.

But after some time due to shortage of time they restrained to only 2 rounds of interview.

In our college it went like:

Due to accommodation problems 170-180 people (may be more than that bcz in 1st slot
there were abt 70) have given their online test in 3 slots. In the 1st only 9 were thru to
nxt rounds... and in 2nd 11 and 3rd 8 people..... there is elimination in all rounds.. i guess
frm 28 only 15 gave the final round of interview and finally only 7 were selctd.

*remember this online is only fr mktng and finance..HR hav got 1 written test on their
subject. Dnt knw abt operations wht they do...!

Online: question were in the same model as available in net and the demo test u give before 2
days. Some are lengthy wth lots of unused data.. maintain accuracy. Some of my frnds gt
slectd by attmptng 19 to 22... i atmptd 27 i think atleast 24-25 are crrct..

Technical:

Here is the round most of the people were sent back. They were interviewed fr almost 45-50
min. They might touch upon ur internship proj, ur subject knowldg i.e ur subjects( may be
frm ur interesting sub or any) some people were tested on current affairs relevant to ur field..
like fro finance they referred to some imp figures in annual reports..

a) sir if that is the case, most people wnt be selctd and it wil be a remark for the clg..so they
compromise with the package.. thy see that everyone is selctd which is again good actually.
