SUNMUDULI, can you please confirm to me that self-attested copies of required certificates are to be uploaded? Can originals be uploaded?
Also, should originals be carried on the interview day?
Thanks,
Rahul

An old post:(helpful and informative for aspirants) 
"If your love affair is with the computer, sorry, don't come to us," says K. Ramkumar, head of human resources at ICICI Group, in an interview. Rather, what ICICI looks for in its employees is passion, action, problem-solving and people skills, he says.
Here are edited excerpts from our conversation.
WSJ: What are your biggest challenges as HR chief of such a large organization?
Mr. Ramkumar: The single biggest challenge, not just for ICICI, but all Indian companies today is our demography. Sixty to 65% of our people are very young, while 25% of our people are 48 years or 50 years old.
There are very, very few people in their 30s and 40s. The middle management is missing.
This challenge will exist for the next 10 years. One way we try to overcome this is by indentifying bright, young people quickly and betting on them.
We put them into larger and bigger jobs, which others in the market will not do. We try to accelerate the process of maturity by exposing them to more problems, and a diverse set of problems. We tell them: You can fail 10 times, 11th time you have to succeed.
For every one out of 10 people who succeed, I am creating a middle manager.
The average age of an ICICI middle manager is 32 years. Ideally, I would have had them at 38.
WSJ: What are your other challenges?
Mr. Ramkumar: The second challenge for us, as a large organization with 3,500 offices, is to keep in touch with our employees. How do you create a culture in which employees don't feel scared to stand up and state what their needs are? How to make them feel that they belong to ICICI?
To create the fabric of ICICI, we share something called the DNA of the company (which includes qualities like passion, and collaboration).
Second, we produce a quarterly video communication magazine i-Voice, which brings a ringside view of how policies are made which affect employees. We have employee journalists who file stories. It also has ICICI news, including an explanation of the company's financial statements.
I would give myself 40% to 50% marks on how well we do this. We have miles to go.
WSJ: Do you use Facebook or Twitter to communicate with employees?
Mr. Ramkumar: We don't believe today that Facebook and Twitter are mature, legitimate forums in which you can run meaningful discussions. They are more for fun. Until social networking sites morph to disciplined, self-regulated and identity-based discussions - I don't want anonymous people coming in - we will wait.
Let me come back to the challenges we face.
A big one is to create a sustainable supply chain of good quality people. Most organizations in India have an attrition rate of 20% to 25% every year. If your policy is to go to the competition and hire people at any cost, you'll pay yourself to bankruptcy.
In 2006, we decided to create a supply structure at every level.
At the entry level - jobs like customer services, phone banking - we need 8,000 to 9,000 people every year. We tied up with NIIT Ltd. to create the Institute for Finance, Banking and Insurance, which runs a six-month vocational program. We hire 5,000 to 6,000 of its graduates.
We require 1,800 to 2,000 people in the first level of management every year. For this, we look for people from economically disadvantaged families, which earn less than 300,000 rupees ($6,600) a year.
They appear for our business school entrance test, and can give their interview in their mother tongue. These people are often shy about speaking in English.
Of the 100,000 applicants who take our test, we select 2,000 candidates and give them an education loan to attend a management-caliber course at the ICICI Manipal Academy for Banking and Insurance. If they stay with ICICI for three years, we write off their loan.
At the senior-level, we hardly ever recruit from outside.
Where I still don't have a solution is for my middle managers. Every year, we hire 3,000 to 4,000 managers, often from other industries like fast-moving consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. They attend short courses within ICICI meant to make them bankers.
Overall, I think we address this challenge very well. I would give myself 75% to 80% marks.
WSJ: How do you keep your middle managers from leaving?
Mr. Ramkumar: Our middle-level attribution is next to nothing - 8% to 10%. I could say we give them bigger jobs, more challenging jobs, we give greater empowerment, but honestly, we don't know. There is an x-factor at work. My best people in middle management hardly ever leave.
We're not the best pay masters. We're as good as other Indian private banks are but we are nowhere near the multi-national banks.
WSJ: What makes someone an ideal ICICI employee?
Mr. Ramkumar: You'll have to have a lot of passion to work at ICICI. You should be a problem-solver. You may not succeed in solving the problem but your orientation should be to keep trying. You should have willingness to learn. Come back and say: I don't know. We'll teach you.
We like people who are very action-oriented. We don't like laid back, dull people, however intelligent they are. I don't want Einsteins only. If your love affair is with the computer, sorry don't come to us. We do business with humans. Engage people. Be in the company of people.
At the middle (management) level, I want people who nurture great talent, who put systems and processes into place, and who are problem solvers.
At the senior level, I look for people who can set the change agenda, mobilize people in support of the change and cause the change.
WSJ: During the downturn, ICICI had to freeze bonuses and increments. You have reinstituted them, but has that caused some bad blood among employees?
Mr. Ramkumar: I think it's a good thing that happened. It taught employees that unless you perform, you should be ashamed of taking a bonus. It's a strong statement, I believe it.
At that point (in 200
, did it dampen the spirit of people? Yes. Was it meant to dampen the spirit of people? Yes.How dare you take money before you have paid the shareholder?
People moan and groan for a month and thereafter everybody gets on with their job.

First document verification will take place and thn you'll be sorted in groups of 8-10 members for GD...thn GD will be conducted fr each group...in GD you'll be given the case to study and write abt it on a piece of paper which will hv a carbon copy to it...after 20-25 minutes the orignal will be taken away and you'll be given fixed time(15-20 min) to discuss on the topic....it depends on the group members to make the most of it and remember tht if the group is nt upto the mark they might even select even 1 member for PI...bt if the GD is good thn they might select 5-6 members also...after GD you hv to wait fr the results(30-45 min) and thn they will announce of the candidates selected for PI...rest will hv to leave...then you'll be called for PI one by one and thts it fr the day...thn wait for approx 3 weeks fr the final results...
Hope this helps you all....ATB
@[597065:Daniel1234] GD shud be done in an hour & results of GD are immediately declared. After that PI takes place for 30 - 60 mins depending on ur panel. PI results would be out 19th Aug.

@swamy.ba Do u know somebody from HR team?
Anyways, assuming 6000 in GD, if max 50% make it to PI round , we r left with 3000 candidates. Total seats = 120, so out of 100 candidates in PI, only 4 will get thru. Fingers crossed
@[578187:SUNMUDULI] If going by the last year trend only 1 or 2 make into the PI out of 10. Exception always there. In my GD 3 made into the PI out of 8.
Got call from ICICI HR. Self-attested copies to be scanned & uploaded. ATB everyone!
@[271083:ujjumba] so the probability further reduces to 1 or 2 out of 100
@[604475:rupen1401]
