The first step for recruitment was filling of form. These forms were available with RAET's. The form was submitted just after the conclusion of theoretical intermediate examination. All the applicants were called for a written assessment. This assessment had various sections including general knowledge, math, accounting, English etc. In order to pass, one had to secure at least 50% marks in each section in order to be eligible for interview. I passed the assessment and was called for an interview with a senior partner. He tested my communication skills, analyzed my academic background. He told me regarding the clients of the firm. He focussed more on personality, dressing than technical knowledge. Later he admitted that we only check the confidence, presentation and communication skills of the candidates as we know that you will learn about the technical aspects during your stay at firm. At the end of the interview, he offered me the contract and gave me two days time for deliberation.
