How to interpret grilling interviews? I have been hearing that most of the interviews went chill. But in my case - the panel started with a warning - we will interrupt you heavily. And they grilled me for almost an hour. Acknowledged in the end that we grilled you for an hour, now you grill us back.

I Came out totally confused what went inside lol
happened to me too... they questioned me on everything i said, even interrupting my answer midway to ask questions for a word i had said.

it infuriated me that they had not even read my application :) But I guess it is what it is

The least it tells me is that you should not interpret yourself bring grilled as any indication of your interview not going well.

Exchanging pleasantries with the candidate and keeping the candidate comfortable all through the interview were just not the interviewers' way to assess the candidate.

You were grilled not because there was any fundamental deficiency in your profile/application/articulation, but because the interviewers had made up their mind that this is how they could bring the best/worst out of a candidate.

All the best!

Which discipline in Engineering? Mechanical?

See if you can retake GMAT to get a 20+ point boost before the deadline.

Does shortlisting is progress imply you are definitely going to get an interview invite?

If the status has changed to shortlisting in progress today, does that mean the interview is going to happen this weekend itself? Location : Kolkata
