Rounds in the Interview Process

The interview process conducted by the recruiters in Brainware University is very rigorous so that only the best candidates are selected by the employers.

The process consists of a total number of five rounds. These rounds are:

1. Aptitude Test
2. Group Discussion/ Extempore
3. Technical written test/ Machine test
4. Psychometric Test
5. Personal Interview

In these rounds, the number of candidates advancing to the next round gets restricted with each round. Therefore, making the total strength of candidates less than half that of the originally enrolled candidates.

While all the other rounds are equally important but the final round i.e., the Personal Interview (PI) round is the most crucial because only the PI round decides whether a candidate will be hired or not.

Personal Interview

In this round, recruiters interact with the students one-on-one to evaluate their skills, knowledge, perception, attitude, mindset etc. and decide whether the appearing student is fit for the job or not.

During the interview, questions are asked related to the discipline of the students, their knowledge regarding technicality of the field, awareness of the working environment of the job in the country as well as outside the country, recent developments and innovation in the relevant field. After evaluating the candidates regarding the technical aspects of the field, the interviewers evaluate their attitude and passion towards the job, their mindset and how they may take decisions in certain situations or problems.

There is no fixed number of questions or duration for the Personal Interview rounds, as they may continue as long as the interviewers are not satisfied with the outcome of a candidate.

Hence, even if the placement process or interview process is rigorous and thorough, students at Brainware University excel in bagging jobs due to the immense support and assistance they get from the C2C Team (Campus to Corporate) and their services.
