Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: They asked questions on the resume. Prepare well on your resume. Screening test was half finance and half English/Maths. I didn't prepare much. Prepared one day before the interview.
Tips: CG doesn't matter much. But, if it is low, they would expect to be good at one of the two things. If you have taken management, then study Marketing Management and Financial Accounting properly. One guy was asked only marketing basics, i.e, Principles and various term. He also made it.
Round: Interview
Experience: 2 rounds of interview - 1. Finance 2. Marketing
We were randomly given first round from the above. Finance was core Finance- reading Financial statement and analysing it, general view of current situation of the Economy. Finance terms. I cupped badly but I think I made an impact by showing that I did not know what terms were important and give a rough idea. Spoke a lot and freely.
Marketing - Involved only marketing based questions. They will see how well you can speak. In my case I was asked to sell any place. I spoke for around 10 minutes and gave many ideas with examples supporting them.
Tips: They asked questions on the resume. Prepare well on your resume. Screening test was half finance and half English/Maths. If you have fundamentals, they won't see minor, though they will prefer if you have one.

For Core, Work mainly on Man tech, Thermo D, Heat transfer. Strength of materials is must. Terminology in design should be looked. Turbo machines mainly about pumps and characteristics. All flu mech definitions like what is fully developed flow, what is potential flow etc should be studied.
KDOMS, Man.Tech, Design of Machine Elements, Turbo machines, Thermo Dynamics and Heat Tranfer. Little on R&AC which can be asked any time. Strength of materials is basic and you should be thorough with that. I didn't put much fight for them. I attended some interviews.
