This is a CAP PI interview experience of a GEM fresher where the panel unexpectedly focused on conversational probing (dry fruits/almonds), regional/social reformers, and basic economics/finance concepts rather than engineering or current affairs. The interview also included an impromptu demonstration of the candidate’s guitar hobby and follow-up HR probing around pursuing music vs MBA.
So how's your morning going?
Why didn't you have your breakfast before the interview?
