What this interview looks like

Most Indian companies run an HR screen, one or two hiring-manager or technical rounds and a final HR discussion on expectations, spread over days. ExamPilot compresses the loop into one 17-minute panel (HR → hiring manager → role/technical lead → behavioural → closing) or a 12-minute one-on-one with the hiring manager. Rounds are pass/fail in real life; here you get a scored report on role knowledge, problem solving, communication and attitude, with STAR feedback on every behavioural answer.

How scoring works

A report you can act on

  1. Every round is scored on the rubric

    Each interviewer scores only the criteria their round covers. Weights add up to your overall score out of 100.

  2. Only what you actually said counts

    Feedback quotes your own answers. Rounds you skip show as “Not assessed” rather than a zero.

  3. Communication is always measured

    Fluency, clarity, confidence and structure are tracked across the whole interview, in any language.

  4. Pass mark, then a plan

    You see the pass mark for this interview, your gaps, and the courses that close them fastest.
