It was quite a sunny day, i woke up at around 6:30AM though i could not sleep at night properly due to anxiety, but managed my self to keep my self calm ,nd got two consecutive wake up call from Shrey,and Muzzi. The day was bright as usual,people around us (those who were sort listed for TCS ) were anxious,and were moving in motion to keep them self well dressed,and mentally prepared.
I was also in the same state of mind,so tried my best to keep my self free from worries.
Latter we all reached the designated venue of placement process,where we all were given few motivated lectures(tiring,boring nd irritating actually) to keep ourself calm,and composed and were asked to keep smiling even though if u din't know the answers(yet i din't understood the logic of that)during the interview process as we were watched by the panel (as if they had hidden web cam in there eyes).
Any ways the process started at around 10:00 AM where we all eligible students were made to sit in a conference hall making no noise with pin drop silence(which was never possible). Faces of many of the candidates were looking bright as if they had come to attend a marriage party (all were really well dressed,).
Thus after a brief introduction by the company people we all Marketing and finance candidates were asked to go for appearing the written exam.
As known from the earlier ,the pattern of written exam was quite fantastic,that after looking the question ,the only doubt came in my mind was that "Is there a upper cut-off" because almost all questions were familiar to all of us,so out of 38 candidates around 28 were in to the second round of interview.
Interview process took hell of our time,as it required all validation and verification process ,so having no time for us to have our lunch.But though we managed to keep our self happy with what ever we got to munch (after all naukari ki baat thi).
And then started the journey for interview ......
Luckily- unluckily i was the first candidate they called for ,and to my surprise ,i never expected this,so i just got totally nervous ,happened to black out in the interview,to be precise i din't know what i was saying to the panel member to what ever questions he asked, but after 7-9 minutes i regained myself and started firing the answers with a greater effort and confidence which helped me to gain a good amount of impression (which earlier i never thought of).Few questions from my graduation were also asked which was quite difficult for me but though i managed my self to answer few of them and tried my level best to divert to the way to which i wanted and controlled of.
Later after my interview ,the atmosphere inside was hot,(though it was raining outside) because the panel member was firing the same questions with an eagerness to know more which was getting more worsened.Few of our friends (specially HR girls) were grilled for more than 90 minutes,(i guess they must be looking smthing else other then knowledge) which seemed quite terrible for them as well as for us.
Though the over all first interview of ours was over till 9:45 PM,and an another round of HR interview was conducted for marketing and finance guys.
Around 10 PM another round of grilling started with the same questions (tell me about myself,and all ),to which only few selected candidates were called for.
I was also in one of those selected candidates to be grilled for .Till that point of time almost all were fed up (because of tiredness,feelings of hungry,rejections,and instable mental stress),but though i managed to give a smile of 1000mw in front of them,to which they asked "r u feeling tired" to which "i replied no"(aur kya kahta ,ki sir,aap logo ne to bachho ki jaan le li hai,).And then again i was grilled for an hour,to which i replied in what ever i could(after all izzat ka sawal tha).
And then came the judgement time that also after 12:00 hours,and few names were called as people as selected. i was also one of them.After hearing the names,i really din't knew what to do,later others made me feel comfortable that i was really selected.
Finally i managed to get through what ever hurdles came in (hostel me bahut lagai gyi meri,sabne mil ke bahut dhoya mere ko,jaise maine koi galti kar di ho placed hoke).
Now its relaxation time,,,,lets hope for a better future,for all those who have been selected ,and lets prey for those who are yet to be placed.
At the last not the list.....
"Ummido pe to dunia chalti hai,hum to tufano me bhi rasta bna lete hain,
Sath dosto ka ho to,ye india hi kya pura dunia hila dete hain,
Abhi to humne rakkha hai sirf do char hi kadam, rah dekhne ke liye,
Kahin ye dunia chhoti na pad jaye, najaro ko chhupne ke liye"
