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 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 favorite 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 deliberations. The PIQ format is given below
for guidance. Carefully read the same and fill 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.
