We had a written round at the campus recruitment process to start with. We wrote about our experiences and learnings, mostly categorized into strengths, learnings, setbacks, etc., in 5 questions to be completed in an hour.
The next level was a role play with a case situation, where a protected forest area was being intervened with two infrastructure projects- a dam and a national highway. Fourteen finalists, seven characters to play. Local people representatives, judiciary, politicians, an environmental advisory board, etc.
The interview round started with a 15min phone call interview with the concerned department head, while the interviewers observed. A trail of a variety of questions followed for about half an hour or more.
The ability to conceptualize, organize, articulate and deliver hold key in the process.
The whole experience was long, exciting & tiring but at the same time, quite a well spent time.
