Overall experience – very cordial experience, neither grilling nor factual,
They are interested to know the thought process.

Utility of mock /O2O – Actual interview is quite a different experience.
Gave many mocks at reputated institutes. Good for confidence boosting and daf coverage. However, no question is repeated in my case.
Peer discussion is quite helpful
