It's very competitive and a little difficult to say which questions can be asked in an HR interview. However, I would like to share a few questions that have been recently asked in interviews:
- What do you want to do in your life?
- What was the toughest time in your life?
- Is there anything you wanted to do in your life that you now regret not doing?
- What is the most difficult task for an HR person in a leadership role?
- Why is HR necessary? Can't it be outsourced?
- Why are you here?
I hope these questions help you in your preparations.
All the best,
Regards,

4. Why HR?
5. Will you adhere to ethics in a situation where your immediate boss asks you to break a policy for promotion?
6. How important do you think a 360° Appraisal is? Which other appraisal tool would you prefer?
7. What is the difference between recruitment and selection?
8. Would you prefer to be a Recruiter or a Training Manager, and why?
9. Scenario-Based Question
An employee in your organization wants training in communication, but his boss/supervisor wants him to have technical training. Meanwhile, the Manager/Head of the Department wants him to get training in meditation and yoga. How will you solve the problem in one week with a restricted budget?

These questions are normally asked to assess various abilities of the person, largely goal orientation, handling difficult situations, and to check if the person can think on his/her feet. Having worked in HR for so long, if someone asks me these questions now, my answers would be:
What do you want to do in your life?
- Be happy and create happiness.
Which was your toughest time in your life?
- Yet to come... probably the current moment... convincing you that I am the best person for this role.
Was there anything in your life you wanted to do and would always regret that you did?
- Flirting with values.
What is the most difficult task for an HR person in a lead role?
- To lead.
Why is HR required? Can it be always outsourced?
- Yes, one needs a good HR person for effective HR outsourcing.
Why are you here?
- To seek an opportunity to make a difference in your life/organization.
Having answered these, I would STRONGLY recommend that everyone should have their genuine answers. A genuine response makes a difference. The human mind is great; it immediately senses the mugged-up/superficial answers. So, do not try to copy phrases of others; create your own with sincerity, and you will see that it shall work.
