What should you know about the role before the interview?

Placement process steps differ by college and company, often an aptitude test, a group discussion, technical rounds and an HR round. Keep copies of your documents and, as the National Career Service portal states, do not pay any fees to an employer for a job. The National Career Service portal, run by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, states that its services are free of cost and that job seekers should not pay fees to employers (NCS, accessed 31 October 2026).
