Then he asked me to wait outside. After 5 min I was called for next interview

2nd INTERVIEW:
It lasted for only 10 min. All questions on project work.

He passed through my resume reading each & every line from it. He asked me to draw DFD of my project. I was unaware about it so I explained him brief overview of my project. My project was related to managing data of library in C++ (using file). He told it would be better if it is design using database. Then he asked me to convert the same project into new one using some database. I had done it easily.

Both the interviews were good. I was 1 from 16 selected students, I was very happy. KEEP FAITH IN YOURSELF …
