10 – 11 Nov 2010
I got info that persistent is coming for campus on 10 Nov 2010 in SISTec college of Gandhinagar, Bhopal and filled the registration form at that time itself. 1500+ students got selected for written exam. Then next day I went to M. P. Nagar to collect my admit cat. I got first batch of 8:30 AM reporting time. My admit card number was 0322. I prepared all my stuff for written as well as interview as I thought they will be on same day.

I left home at 7:50 AM with my friend Amit Rajput for SISTec. I reached at 8:20 AM and got queued to enter. Then we were taken to the seminar hall at SISTec for written. Written started at 10:29 AM an consisted of two papers – one was objective with 60 technical questions to be solved in 60 min and second was a subjective consisting of a program to be made and a note on a topic to be done in half an hour. Then we were told to go home. The result of the written was declared at about 8:30 PM and fortunately I was selected at 20th rank (among 174 selected for interview) in the first batch to be interviewed at 10:30 AM. The reporting time was 9:00 AM for all selected students.

The day of interview came and I was not certain at that time whether I have to join or not. But still it was my first technical interview so I was a little nervous. I left for SISTec at 9:00 AM which was the actual reporting time. I got call from my friend Bharat in my way to SISTec. He told me a great thing that it is not my dream company and so I should not be tensed about anything.
I reached SISTec at 9:30 and went into the seminar hall where they were getting ready to give presentation. They told us in presentation that we will be given 3 lakh package +other incentives. Then I decided that I can try for it. I was actually called at 10:30 AM for interview but my first interview held at about 2:30 PM after a long wait. It was pure technical interview. They asked me about DBMS, DS, OS etc and mainly java as I told them I am more comfortable with java. Interview goes for about 1 hours and I am happy that I was selected.
Then again there was a long-long wait. I become so tired that I was not able study any further and at about 7:00 PM onwards they started taking interviews of girls first. So we understood that we will have to wait more. Then finally at about 8:30, they called me for 2nd interview. The second interview was very good. They asked me all about my resume so I was able to tell clearly. So I would like to suggest don’t lie in your resume. After the second interview I was assured of getting selected for HR interview.
After 5-10 min they brought me a form to fill up for HR interview. I waited outside the HR room and I was called inside at about 9:30. HR didn’t ask a lot. He asked me about what I think about Indian Sports Scenario and about my family background and also about my future plans for higher studies. He was looking satisfied and told me to come next day at 4:00 PM. I was the last candidate of the day.

I left home with my brother Ashish Tiwari at 4:00 PM as I thought they will definitely be late today also. But in the way I got call from my friend Ashirwad that your name is announced come soon. I was at 10 min distance and reached there on time. The persistent team was giving a seminar and all selected students were there. I joined the group and confirmed from Ashirwad “Am I selected?” With his “Yes” I was out of this world and felt very happy on my first campus selection.
Total 30 students were selected.
