Guidelines :Interview Set up

To ensure that you are focused on the interview questions and not the technical issues
surrounding the interview, we suggest that you

Ensure there is

- Microphone and video and camera are functional


- Proper lighting
- no background distraction / noise .
- No notification sounds on the device during the interview
- Device is steady ( no handheld mobile)
- stable internet connection ( 1 MBPS speed recommended by XLRI)
b. During the interview
- Be formally dressed ( Be dressed as if you are appearing for face to face interview)
- Prop up the device so that the camera is at eye –level
- Look at the camera and not the center of the screen
- Keep the technical helpline number handy in case you need to reach out to them.

Pro-Tip: Do a test run ( video call/skype call with the same background & settings) to ensure a
smooth experience during the interview
