I have an interview in a few days.

The offer details are:

• A 1-year internship with a ₹30,000 stipend.
• After that, based on performance, a full-time offer of 5.3 LPA with a 2-year bond.

My main concern is the 2-year bond period.

Initially, I just wanted to participate for practice and planned to reject the offer if I got selected. I was a bit naive; since this is an on-campus opportunity, my college has strict placement policies that I only found out about later:

1. If I reject the offer letter, I have to pay a ₹1,00,000 fine.
2. If I join and later resign, or if I reject the full-time conversion, I have to pay a ₹1,00,000 fine plus 50% of the earned stipend.
3. If I accept the offer, I cannot participate in any other on-campus placement opportunities unless the new company offers double the salary.

I cannot simply drop out of the interview now, as the college will take disciplinary action, which could include a fine or complete disqualification from future placements.

I haven't participated in any interviews until now, but I want to make sure I intentionally fail this one without getting into trouble. How can I go about doing this?

Edit: It a onsite interview and I want to mess up, not get disqualified from placement itself

Edit 2: I might be on full negative thoughts here,

I'm thinking if I fail to answer basic questions, they might take me as they have an initial training program and it guarantees them I'm not going to be a flight risk as I don't have basic knowledge

If I answer half correctly, as the problem above also gonna be easy for them, as it's the most common expected situation for most candidates

If I answer all correctly, then I will just become an easy target

Should i just be honest
