impression, attitude and confidence. Open the door with great confidence but politeness;
your body posture should be straight and frequent. Wish the interviewer with a
smiling face and remember not to forward your hand for shake hand. It’s not suitable
for an interviewee; on other hand, if any of the interviewers invite you for
shake hand, you should accept it by holding the hand firmly but in a friendly
manner.
At the time you wish
the team of interviewers, wish lady(s) first, then men. If there are two or
more ladies, you need not to wish everyone individually but you can wish them
together by making eye contact to each of them while saying ‘good morning mam’
for say; same is applicable for male interviewers.

simple, reply them in the language they ask question. It can be Hindi, English
or native language.
