needed to win in interview . Now we will see how we
face the viva voce successfully.

alternatives. You have to get a good idea about the
particulars of the company such as, co. strategy, products ,
mission ,vision etc. But don’t forget to go through the major
key points of your study area.
 Check the interviewers : if you have some idea about the
interviewers then it will be helpful for you to deal with them.
 Interview style: different organization have different
interview style as some focus on behavioral question, some
on case studies, some on test general knowledge questions. It
will be helpful for you if you know their style.

maintain it, you need to know that your career is not
riding on a single interview.
Take it easy. Viva board is not a detention center. Keep

limitations.

look into your resume to recall details during the

the one closest to the side of the interviewer’s desk.
