ok interview for our colg mnm jain engg started at 11am.they called me first, I think it was accordin to who scored highest.
I went inside, quite confident.there were ten diff panels. my hr was an elderly person, he asked my resume.
1) Then he asked me to tel something abt myself (not any personal traits, only something abt colg or school of family in description). he didn't let me complete
2) then he asked me to tel which event I enjoyed organized and which one I enjoyed most (I wrote I organized event). he didn't let me complete
3) he gave puzzles. I got 6 puzzles in interview

After that he askd whether I was ready to transfer anywhere
Always say yes never say no , tel u lik cin new places and want to understand the people, surroundin etc of the place, which is not possible in 2 days or so
Then he askd if I had any qs, I askd abt exposure as soft engg, when wil v be able to met customers directly?
He answered.
I had no hope of getting selected absolutely you know y? because al my friends got maximum of 2 puzzles and some got 1 puzzle, some got 1 puzzle and many didn't get any puzzles they were askd wat they do on Sunday
Some were askd y is manhole round and not square?
Some were given nice situations lik-:
1) wat would u do if u became very rich, how wil u help society wit it ?
2) if u find a paper which is half torn on road, wat are steps u wil take to find the full details abt the paper? Etc
I was very sad and thought it to be very unfair as other were askd very simpl things where as I was the only 1 wh got 6 puzzles.
My interview was over soon and from 12 to 6:30 we had to wait , then they announced the results. my name was announced I was very happy. U maybe thinking how did I get selected. well I had stress interview. Yes its very rare for a fresher but it does happen sometimes so don't ever loose hope.
And best of luck to u all.
