INTERVIEW
Friendly interview. Questions ranging from personal to technical aspects. Strong conceptual clarity in accounting coupled with clarity regarding your long term and short term goals (to check your suitability for the job) can surely get you through.

PRECIOUS ADVICE
Be clear about the job they will be requiring you to do. Get the info from internet, seniors, placement cell and from each and every source, but make sure the job you are applying for, is the suitable match for you. When you have justified yourself regarding the same, it will reflect in your answers at the time of interview. Keep in mind, the company will recruit you only if YOU AND THE COMPANY - BOTH ARE GOING TO BENEFIT FROM YOUR RECRUITMENT. Because if you are happy with your job, only then you will remain there for long and justify the company's investment in recruiting you.

Wishing you luck for the placement sesson ahead. For queries & suggestions do contact us or join us on our dedicated forum.
