Group Discussion
GD is one of the most crucial part of CRTs. Even if you have a very strong aptitude and
technical knowledge, you might get disqualified if you are not able to impress the moderator
in the limited amount of time you get. Important steps to follow for a GD is to-
1. Think of clear and unambiguous things to speak.
2. Whatever you speak should clearly represent your stand on a topic.
3. Don’t rush and cut others in the middle. It might hamper your chances of getting
through it.
Case Study:
Case study is the latest addition to CRT processes. In a case study you’re normally given a
booklet containing data regarding some topic. You’ve to study the whole case carefully and
then have to answer the questions at the end of the case study. If there’s a case study in the
process then, there’s a very good chance that you will have an interview specially for that
case study where you will have to justify your answers. If you’re new to case studies, practice
some beforehand and work on your guesstimates.

Technical Interviews
Each recruitment process has a technical interview round which is usually the last round. In
this last face to face round you have to prove that you possess the necessary technical
aptitude to work in the industry or you’ve the learning capability. Sometimes just knowing
the logics takes you through it smoothly. Sometimes even knowing everything doesn’t help.
Find the middle grounds. You’ll have a good one in your pocket.
