This is one of the first question asked by an HR interviewer in your HR round, which is mostly the final round of a interview process

There are some points to keep in mind while answering what this question

  1. Don’t state the obvious, if a company is coming for college placement don’t include things like your college name, which year you are in, or what is your CGPA, the interviewer already know that, just give a brief intro about your stream and that will be enough
  2. Elaborate about what you have done in the past 4 years and what you are currently doing, like you may have done some web-Dev include that, and if you are learning some new technology include that too.
  3. Mind the pause in between of your introduction, like when changing the direction of the introduction always give a small pause and then continue
  4. Body language is everything, always carry a smile and hand gestures to make the conversation more interesting.

here is a sample of how Introduce my self during an interview
