Introduction

Personal Information Questionnaire

(PIQ)

PIQ is a very important document to be filled up on your arrival. The

information that you furnish becomes the basis for the Interview. Any
mismatch between the information written in the PIQ and what you say
during the interview can be viewed very critically. For example, if you write

in the PIQ that your favourite sport is basketball and it is found later during
the interview that you play some other game and do not know much about
basketball, then it is not a very good situation. Hence, what you write in the

PIQ is very important and requires a lot of deliberation. The PIQ format is
given below for guidance. Carefully read the same and fill it in such a way
that whatever you write in this is maintained during the interview and you are

prepared to answer questions about some of the information in the PIQ. For
example, if you write your hobby as ‘reading’, then you must know the
author and publisher of some of the books that you have read recently.
