Conclusion
45. Your Appearance – First Impressions
Count the most
Looking and sounding the part is key
Dress appropriately – there’s no harm in
asking before the interview.
If in doubt follow business dress; for men
suit and tie, for women trouser/skirt suit
(not too short!) – think ‘The Apprentice’
Also practice your handshake!
46. If you’ve got an interview, the hiring manager has
probably read your CV and likes what they see.
However, make sure: You tell the truth! You don’t want
to be caught out by an interviewer.
You know your CV from top to bottom,
and can answer any questions. At IBM
your CV stays with you through every
stage of recruitment.
You are prepared to answer questions
about your CV
47. Interpersonal -
Do you picture the engineer as the
nerd in the corner with the pocket
protector?
Those days have passed.
Engineering today means teamwork.
48. Continue….
Written
It may seem that engineering projects would
be too technical to have much use for
composition skills.
However, in a survey of over 4000 practicing
engineers, 99% listed composition courses as
important for future engineers.
49. Listening - respond appropriately to the answers
given
Probing - use probing questions to get more
information about certain topics
Reflecting - paraphrase the responses
Summarizing - summarize responses given to each
question to ensure that you understand them
correctly
Evaluating - evaluate the information that you
receive during the interview and clarify right away
Continue….
50. Don’t treat the interview casually.
Don’t act as if you would take ‘any’ job
offered to you.
Avoid making excuses, take responsibility
for your decisions and actions. There is no
harm in suggesting where you can develop.
Don’t give the impression you are only
interested in the salary.
Don’t be unprepared!
51. Why do you think you’re the best person for the job?
What is it about this job/opportunity that attracts you?
What is it about this organization that made you decide
to apply for the position?
Tell me what you know about the company, what do we
do?
But also there will be questions specific to the role,
company and competencies they are looking for…
52. Communication skill
Confidence
Compatibility with the company
Learn ability
Salary
57. M.E/M.TECH

75. “Electronics is a evergreen branch, why,
because most of the companies hire the
electronics students in lots so that they
molded the person either in the field of
software and hardware ”.
76. BE YOURSELF!
Demonstrate to us how you’re different, think
‘uniqueness’.
Don’t just mention your school/college life.
Think: extra curricular, volunteering, part time
jobs, and even your social activities.
Spellin n Grammar – don’t make this mistake.
78. Want to lead a secure, high paid
job in PSU?
Are you aware
of PSU
classification
?
Your PSU career dreams will turn
into reality when you qualify
GATE with good score
79. Government and PSU Jobs 2015— Hidden Benefits
Job security
Challenging Work Environment
Handsome salary and Pay perks
80. Limitations of Private Jobs
The working hours can be
uncertain as they may stretch
beyond reasonable 8-hour
workdays on a regular basis
and the professional growth
prospects may become limited
after a few years or after
raising a few rungs on the
corporate ladder. After all,
everyone is not going to end
up as the CEO
81. Limitations of Private Jobs
Then there is job uncertainty. As recent events have shown
in India, private sector companies can lay off staff when the
requirement for them is no longer there. When you look at
the long term, govt. jobs and PSU jobs have many hidden
benefits which make those jobs highly desirable
82. Oceans of Opportunities
Defense production is a strategic
affair and the government keeps
things confined to the PSU side
of Indian industry, many cutting
edge projects in the defense
sector are executed in
cooperation with these PSUs —
be it the latest generation of
Sukhois, LCAs (Tejas) or other
fighter aircrafts or the Arihant
class of indigenous nuclear-
powered submarines which
required cutting edge steel for
its high-tech hull.
83. PSUs Plays a Significant role
Being a developing economy, India will see continuous
investment in the infrastructure sector — steel plants,
thermal, coal and nuclear power plants, exploration for oil &
natural gas, refineries, and so on — and the PSUs will have a
significant role to play even as the private sector expands
84. Indian Railways offers unique challenges
Similarly, govt. jobs in organizations such as the
Indian Railways offer their own unique challenges.
India’s rail network is certainly a key infrastructure
of the nation which keeps the country together.

Following is list of Entrance Exams for MBA along
with their Institutes-
132. Introduction
MBA(Masters In Business Administration) is a masters degree in business administration.
MBA is a terminal degree and a professional Business schools in many countries offer
programs tailored to full-time, part-time, executive (abridged coursework typically occurring
on nights and/or weekends), and distance learning students, many with concentrations.
In India,specifically,there are many institutes which offer MBA certification. To get into your
desired institute you will have to appear for its entrance test, qualifying which and
considering your profile,you will be admitted in that college for a 2-year MBA course.
Each college has its own set of entrance exams and its criteria for intake of students.
Some institutes even hold GD PI sessions to select its students.
133. Today, an MBA degree is looked at as a passport to a good
career.
Cracking CAT with good percentile can fetch you a good and
rewarding job with fat pay packets from a variety of sectors -
ranging from FMCG, Banking, Telecom, Retail, Consultancy and
Manufacturing etc.
WHY CAT ?
133
134. These exams are having subjects like -
● Quantitative Aptitude
● Verbal / English Proficiency
● Current Affairs
● General Knowledge
● Logical Reasoning
● Data Interpretation
A thorough study of these subjects and off course smart study will make you through your dream college.
Smart study is suggested because weightage of each subject differs from exam to exam.
For eg: CAT does not have current affairs,so no point studying for it. Similarly, exams like XAT and SNAP
have a good chunk of current affairs so it is highly advisable to do be updated with your GK and Current
Affairs.
