They gave us 1 and half hour to complete this. I completed this test in 1 and half hour and submitted my sheet to them.
Then they said us to wait. Then we waited for atlest 3 hours, we were tired during waiting, Fourth round was still very far, because HR was not came till that time and it was aslo taking them a lot of time to check our written test.when we were waiting for the HR, we had some coffee during that time and the coffe was free of cost for all of us.
FOURTH ROUND ----- INTERVIEW WITH HR
Afterwaiting for three hours finally, HR came and they started calling candidates for personal interview. My number soon came and they called me for interview , I was very nervous , but the HR was very good , they made me feel cofortable, then they started asking questions--
Their first question was--
1. Tell me something about your profile.
Ans. I answered My name is Shikha. I live in north delhi at ...... , I am an undergraduate and I am doing B.COM from delhi university and It's my final year.
When I was answering this question they stopped me in between and asked
''ARE YOU AN UNDERGRADUATE''
then I said
''YES''
then they said that
''sorry , you can't apply for this position''
i asked them
'' WHY''
then they said that
'' We do not hire undergraduates'',
then i said that
''But the person who reffered me , he said that undergraduate can apply'',
then they said,
''This must be an misunderstanding'',
then I thanked the interviwer and went out of the room, I was very upset, because it took me a whole day and my all effort didn't pay me anything.
But I didn't lose hope and decided to come back after completing my graduation.
It was an amazing experience for me , I learned a lot of things and it also taught me one thing that-------
''ANYTIME YOU GO FOR INTERVIEW FIRSTLY GET ALL THE INFORMATION REGARING THE JOB AND SKILLS REQUIRED FOR THIS''
I hope it helps you all.
