before attending the interview, you must visit the website of particular company to know about their business and activities. Definitely, at the end of the interview, you will be stressed with the process. At that moment, better not ask questions. Do not ask questions about salary, pay, perks etc. That may give wrong impression. You must be aware of the fact on how much you are going to be paid for that position in that company. You can ask about follow up action whether u can call them to know the result of that interview. If they are going to hire u, generally, they will tell you immediately and issue appointment letter. 'We will inform you later' - if this is the reply, u can forget about the reply.

u'ld ask the questions but only the intelligent ones. u can 've a short and smart discussion on this. but don't ask for the heck of it. u can prepare a set of questions before hand and pose them. don't touch any controversial topics but seeking clarification is fine and NOTHING about your performance.

Hi, One more thing that i shall like to add is, ensure that the question that u ask is not answered directly on the institute's website and / or prospectus. The reason being, it'll show ur poor prepration on front of knowledge about the place where u r saying u wish to go.

I m swarna kamal& want to know about the dress to b wear bin interview & also the official colours.
Though the question wasnt intended to me, but thought to answer it. Hope Challa wont mind it... :P Well, though there is no prescribed dress code for any time, but its better if u get dressed up in suits (which r considered to be completely formal). but, if the weather of ur city does not permit it, then u can always go ahead with light colored plain shirt, with dark colored trousers (preferably black or navy blue) with a tie.

Dark trousers, light color plain shirt with pleasing color like light blue, cream etc. try to avoid checks shirts. black belt, socks matching with trousers. tie matching with shirt and trouser and not but not the least - shoes must be polished. better have a shoe shine in ur vehicle. suit is not advisable in indian context while attending interviews. moreover, dress according to the position for which ur attending the interview. If you are attending interview for the position of GM, then u can wear suit.
