Suggestion

1)Do not be scared or nervous even if you cannot answer a thing.Try to look calm.
2)Try to bring to the notice of the interviewer your qualities in the very short time you have.
3)Do not be too loud while talking but in any case remember you must be audible.
4)For girls in core engineering the common question will be how will you cope up with site work.Think of a genuine and confident answer if u are absolutely sure that you can go for site work.
All the best!

No. of Candidate applied And Points that Worked in Favour

A total of 5 rounds(all eliminative) were there.I cant exactly recall how many candidates initially sat for the first round but ultimately 5 of us appeared for the technical interview and then 3 of us got a call for an interview at their office.I was the available topper at that time..
Being the available topper was obviously a very big reason for my selection.I did not do too well in the written technical and the reason why i feel they ignored it was that I had a better percentage than others from my stream.But staying calm and putting forward a cheery attitude helped me get through. I tried not to leave any scope for further questions while answering them. Basically the last 2 interviews, for me, were a test of nerves.
