My general advice to anybody sitting for any company they
want to is to form a strategy which is particular for that
company. One should also know what kind of interview
process it is and then strategize the resources in that
manner and I think that is the exercise you can do for a
month before the actual internship process. So the day you
fill in for the company you should actually have an idea
about what they might ask like this interview is going to be
about my CV, so I would have every point of my CV in my
mind and I would have a defence for every word that is in
my CV which they may ask about.

Parting advice
Getting a CDC internship is not the end of the world. Day-1,
Day-2 rejections are will happen. It's normal. Just give the
STAGE 3 tests and interviews with a calm mind and don't let
Interview Round yourself get carried away with the initial hype. The CDC intern
process is very long and a company where you are best fit
might even come as late as February or March. More
importantly learn to take rejections in your stride!
PIRAMAL SELECTION PROCESS
After CV submission, a test was conducted which had
MCQs on Logical Reasoning and Behavioral Reasoning.
Departments open to There was a PPT for the shortlisted students followed by
Group Discussion round, taken in groups of 5. The topics
CH were very generic, did not require any technical
knowledge, and were mostly the same across all the IITs
where Piramal comes for recruiting interns. This was
followed by a Personal Interview round. Most of the
CGPA Cutoff questions were either HR based or from past work
experiences. Again, no major technical questions were
None asked. A total number of 3 students were selected by the

All the 3 students selected had significant PORs and
participation in EAAs. While there might not be a direct

instances and provided some extra talking points during
the PI round

honesty and consistency as well. For example, the 5th

differently but essentially mean the same. The answers
CGPA Cutoff should be as close as possible, which they would be if
answered honestly.
None The next three parts tested one’s aptitude. The second
part consisted of basic mathematics which was basically
a test for speed. The number of questions answered by

STAGE 2
Interview rounds
Interview Rounds
Unlike many other companies, the interviews taken by P&G
purely check the culture fit of the individual. The panel
tested the candidate only based on two types of questions -
Response to a hypothetical situation
Justifying capabilities by taking examples of situations
handled by the individual
Type 1
You have to complete a project in 48 hours. You had
planned to complete it right on time and have been working
accordingly. Your boss suddenly asks you to show more
results than planned which looks difficult to complete in the
given time. How would you deal with this situation?
You are a part of a team which consists of many senior
colleagues and you are working on a project with them. This
kind of work has been done using a particular technique for
the last decade but you think that your idea can make the
procedure more efficient. How will you present this idea?
How will you make sure that your suggestion does not hurt
your colleagues’ ego?
You are having a deadline to complete two projects by this
weekend. You also have to start working on two more
projects to be submitted in a month. However, one of your
team members falls ill and your boss asks you to take the
brunt of the situation and make sure that all of the
deadlines are met. You are having inhibitions that the task
being asked is very difficult. What will you do to manage this
situation?
Type 2
Give us an example of how you challenged the status quo
and made a decision based on your opinion and
experience.
Tell us a situation where your suggestion cut costs in your
organisation/internship.
Give us an example of how you resolved conflict in your
team.
Give an example of how your merit/hard work has taken
you places or given you an opportunity.
Tell us a situation where you managed last-minute
issues/disasters by using your presence of mind and wit.
No technical questions were asked.

P&G doesn't ask any questions in the interview based on your
past internships or projects but I believe they do assess the
technical prowess of the student based on what is written in
the CV.

It will work very much in your favour if you cite examples
from your positions of responsibility or societies you have
been a part of. They provide legitimacy to your answers and
make you stand out from every other person answering that
question.

difference
For the interviews, prepare answers for certain situational
questions that could be anticipated. Recall scenarios from your
KGP life or your internships where you had the opportunity to
put your strengths and your qualities to practice. That'll help
you answer such questions confidently in the interviews.
Parting Advice
For the interviews, go through the PVPs (Purpose-Values-
Principles) of P&G which you could keep in mind while
answering the questions as they treat them with very high
regard.
Be confident with what you answer and don't flutter during the
interview. Confidence is the key.

Specific Skill Set required for the

Good communication skills, posing confidence and not
getting intimidated.
It is recommended to start preparations from summer
but not necessary. I can only vouch for signal processing
profile. Signals n systems is the most recommended
course from 4th semester. Every nook and corner from
a good notebook is mostly enough to clear the core
content. Dft and fft are additional topics to be read.
Other material include digital signal processing from 6th
semester, analog communication from 5th semester.
Oppenheim' signals text book is recommended.
Sometimes puzzles could be asked. Hence it is
recommended to practice miscellaneous puzzles from
geeks for geeks.
Parting Advice
Do not go beyond necessary basics. Applications could also
be asked from the read basics. Some standard results
should be remembered. They might ask to prove a standard
result as well. A knowledge of probability and statistics is a
plus, but not essential.

1. Don't get frightened during the interview. Try to get help
from the interviewer in case, you reached a dead-end.
2. Be interactive with the interviewer.
3. Do not keep to yourself. They might be more interested
in the intermediary steps and the thought process than
the final result itself.
