IndiGo

1. Online application and screening

Candidates apply through IndiGo's careers page, campus drives, or walk-in recruitment days, and profiles are shortlisted on eligibility criteria such as education, height, and communication skills for operational roles. Corporate and technology applicants are usually shortlisted on relevant work experience and functional skills instead.

2. Group discussion or initial screening

For cabin crew and ground staff roles, a group discussion assesses communication, confidence, and body language, and typically eliminates a large share of candidates at this stage. Panellists observe how each candidate listens, responds, and contributes without dominating the conversation.

3. Personal or technical interview

Shortlisted candidates face a one-on-one interview covering grooming, aptitude, and role-specific knowledge for operational roles, or technical and functional questions for corporate and technology positions. Interviewers also gauge composure and clarity of speech, which matter heavily for guest-facing roles.

4. HR interview

An HR round checks general awareness, flexibility with schedules and locations, and overall fit with IndiGo's service-driven, disciplined work culture. This stage also confirms willingness to relocate and work rotational shifts, which are standard across airline operations.

5. Document verification and medical check

Final selection includes verification of educational and identity documents, and a basic medical or fitness check for cabin crew and ground roles. Candidates are informed of joining dates and training schedules once this stage is cleared successfully.

IndiGo's interview process typically has three to four rounds, all often completed in a single day for operational hiring drives.

Round 1: Group discussion

A 10-15 minute group discussion on a general topic evaluates communication skills, confidence, and how candidates present themselves, and is where most candidates are eliminated.

• Clarity of speech and listening skills
• Ability to make a point without dominating the group

Round 2: Personal or technical interview

A 10-20 minute one-on-one round tests grooming and situational judgement for cabin crew and ground roles, or core technical and functional skills for corporate positions.

• Handling a difficult or anxious passenger
• Explaining relevant project or academic experience for corporate roles

Round 3: HR interview

A 10-15 minute round covers willingness to relocate, flexible shifts, salary expectations, and overall fit with IndiGo's service culture.

• Reasons for wanting to join the aviation industry
• Comfort with rotational shifts and travel

Round 4: Document verification and medical check

The final 15-20 minute stage verifies educational certificates and identity proof, and includes a basic fitness or medical screening for operational roles.

• Original mark sheets and identity documents
• Basic height, vision, and fitness requirements
