i thanked him for the drink. and then it was over.

Third Round: HR Interview
since there were too many people selected for HR interview, they made the HR round as GD.

There were 10 ppl in my round. we were asked to suggest a topic. each guy was saying something. i was the last to suggest.

I cudnt think of anyting. the only thing which came in my mind was - Is GD really necessary?
SO i jus said that directly from the heart.
the HR took it as a topic & said it was a nice topic.

though i didnt speak anything. later the topic was changed to "Is Technical Interview necessary ? "

The HR asked me to speak something. Then i gave a point. finally it was concluded.
Then we were asked for some Qs. I asked two Qs. then it was also done.

A day later The Results were announced. I was happy to see my name I thanked God.

Some FINAL Advice
Try Solving Logical Resoning and General aptitude stuff. Work On GDs. Be very good in your areas of interest. Also pray to God. Its always God's  grace which takes you up the ladder. You do ur part. GOD will bless you work.

In case you get rejected dont worry. Work on where you went wrong.
