Thanks, AdiRedDevil, Good luck!!

Thanks mate! And all the best to you!

Hi, my question may sound silly..but, I need help from you guys..My interview is scheduled on 14th Nov, 7:45 PM EST..so what would be the time in IST? I hope it should be 15th Nov, 6:15 AM IST. Am I correct? I checked the timezone converter, but I am little confused. Because using this time conversion, I attended UNC's webinar last week and when I joined I got to know that it was already completed. Please help me guys! Especially, Indian candidates who had completed the interview via skype/phone recently. Thanks!

Yes... its 6.15 AM IST. Add 10.5 hrs to EST. You can always check online by typing in "what is the time now in North Carolina?" I used it

Yes it would be 15 Nov 6:15 AM IST. But be online by 5:30 AM to be safe. EST is 10.5 hrs behind IST. You might have missed the session due to daylight saving time difference. Just a thought. You can use timeanddate.com to check time differences.

I checked on Outlook, by adding a second Timezone (EST) and it says that 14th Nov , 7:45 PM EST converts to 14th Nov , 6:15 AM IST. Am I missing something. The previous comments has got me confused and worried !! Mine is on 13th Nov 10 AM EST and that should convert to 13th Nov 8.30 PM IST. Is that correct?

Oi! Common sense! USA is to the WEST of the 0 degree longitude (GMT) while India is to the EAST. Indian date+time should ALWAYS be ahead of US date+time - no exceptions. For e.g. 6:30pm on 12th Nov in India is 8am on 12th Nov for NYC. Maybe stress is affecting you Relax, guys. The interview will go well And @ the person who missed a call, it definitely must be due to daylight savings - which started at the end of October if I'm not mistaken. (over the weekend to be precise) All the best!

This should clear all confusions... I think daylight savings ended on November 4th.. So the time difference from before Nov 4th and now would be different And for those who are not aware of Daylight Savings : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

Thanks a lot ravitoons, mbanerd16, kaustubhkul, MacFauz ! Your help is really appreciated

Looks like there is lot of confusion going on related to Timezone. Let me clarify - Daylight Saving Time has been turned off on 1st Sunday on Nov'13. Clocks went back by an hour. EST is 10.5 hrs behind IST. i.e. 15-Nov 8 AM IST will be 14-Nov 9:30 PM EST. 15-Nov 8PM IST will be 15-Nov 6:30 AM EST. CST is 11.5 hrs behind IST. MST is 12.5 hrs behind IST. PST is 13.5 hrs behind IST. Use timeanddate.com. PM me if you still have confusion.
