Different Modes of Interview in ICMAI CMA Campus Placement

Introduction

During ICMAI CMA Campus Placement, companies conduct interviews in different formats depending on their recruitment style and ICMAI’s coordination.
These formats include telephonic interviews, online video interactions, and virtual panel discussions.

This blog explains each interview mode so students clearly understand what to expect during the campus placement cycle.


1. Telephonic Interviews

What Happens

In a telephonic interview, the company connects with the student through the registered mobile number.

It is usually a short, initial screening round where companies check:

📞 Basic profile
📞 Confirmation of details submitted in the campus form
📞 General background understanding

This round helps companies decide whether to move the student to the next stage.


2. Online Video Interviews

What Happens

Companies conduct video interviews using:

💻 Zoom
💻 Google Meet
💻 Microsoft Teams
💻 Webex

Students join using a meeting link shared by ICMAI or the company.

During the interaction, interviewers ask:

🎥 General questions
🎥 Profile-based questions
🎥 Role-related queries

This format allows companies to interview students without requiring physical presence.


3. Virtual Panel Interviews

What Happens

In a virtual panel interview, multiple interviewers join the same online meeting.

These rounds may include:

🧑‍💼 General discussions
📘 Role-specific questions
📄 Clarifications on academic/resume details

This mode helps companies evaluate a student from multiple perspectives in a single session.


4. Combination of Interview Modes

Some companies use a combination of formats, such as:

🔁 Telephonic screening → followed by video interview
🔁 Online round → followed by final offline round

The structure depends entirely on the company’s internal recruitment process.
