I don't understand MBA interviews

I am in my second year of MBA at one of the IIM LKI. Due to the bad economy my campus placements have taken a hit similar to ISB and IIM B. The worst part is I am not understanding where I am going wrong. As per my understanding I gave an exceptional interview to one of top Indian IT services but I still wasn't hired in spite of having an IT background with 3 years work ex in IT services

Tech interviews were easy. You either know the answer or you don't

I asked one of my seniors. He said they mostly look for culture fit!!!

some bg: I have hired over 30+ candidates from tier 1 college for CTC upto 2Cr+ ---+ Sometimes, we just don't hire over energetic or over confident candidates. I had alot of candidates following me up asking why they weren't selected..

reason:

  1. one might think they given the best, it might not be the case-- try having mock interviews with senior folks

  2. there was simply better candidates than you

  3. a company might need an over-smart person, mostly because they might demand more salary later on, or might not be loyal etc...

As per my experience, I have seen an AVG candidate more ROi to company (long term) than some super smart candidates

Thank you for the answer. The reason I said I gave an exceptional interview was because I was able to answer all the questions flawlessly. I was not able to figure out what went wrong. When I asked a question at end of the interview she even she very good question

Is it the CTC or the base ? And it's better to know the progression like 2-3 years
