Basically they caught me on the gap year thing. One should be well prepared well for the gap year justification and should not take the preparation of HR ques leniently.

Very unprofessional interview. The interviewer was late, seemed arrogant, and was constantly interrupting during the conversation. They appeared more focused on irrelevant details while ignoring important points. At times, they even seemed to belittle my responses rather than engage in a meaningful discussion. Having given many IB interviews in the past, this was a very bad experience. It felt more like an interview for a sales or customer service role rather than IBA, as the interviewer was constantly trying to grasp information. This may be a reflection of the company’s internal culture. However, I hope they improve their interview process for future candidates.
