3 Students were selected, I was one of them.
My Suggestion:
- When you read interview experiences, don’t assume that the selected person answered every question.
- I answered around 85 percent of questions in the first two interviews and barely 50 percent in the managerial round. Still, my attitude was positive throughout, so it’s perfectly fine even if you don’t know everything. You are not supposed to be some encyclopedia to get a job but a person with positivity, curiosity, and a ready-to-learn attitude.
