Hi,

Can someone please help me with the WAT format? How much time is allotted? Is it pen-paper based? Any pointer about how WAT is graded - content, structure...

Also if the R1 interviewees can give some topics that they faced, it would be helpful to get the feel of arena.


Thanks,
Sid

I got an invite as well. Do you know what areas to focus into apart from candidates profile? Do they ask opinions on government policies(demonitization, GST etc) and economy?

Hi Guys,
I have a query on work experience section for round 2 application. I am working in the same organization for last 6 year but worked as an assistant manager, deputy manager, and Manager. So do I need put these as different work experience or as one?
