Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: 8 people gd—topic was “AWE” which was later changed to Aweful. They wanted to just see if people were able to think on their feet and how well they react to others points etc.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: 1 round of interview. Pure HR. Don’t know what they particularly wanted to test,but mostly confidence, quick thinking, etc… no knowledge or quant questions.They want to see your attitude probably.
Round: Group Activity
Experience: No case studies.There was a GA round where they asked us to make a “Stable mobile structure” from a standard mechanix set… and then sell it to other team.The whole process is very HR oriented.
General Tips: This was the first company for me.I actually was not serious about placements and hadn’t prepared.Yes preparing early always helps.Third years must make sure they make best use of their interns.Most of my friends spent a lot of their interview times speaking about their interns so if your intern is good it would be better.Second year just mug and put PORs insti team fight and all that.
Skill Tips: Criteria for getting shortlisted No CG cutoff I think. PORs might have mattered.It is very weird the shortlist and the GD and interview, but you just have to confident and clear headed throughout.

6 Interview Rounds
Interview Questions
- Q1. On my institute life
- Q2. What I would have done differently, if given another chance
- Q3. A few were also based on my resume
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Resume based shortlisting
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: "Change the topic" was the topic of the GD. All the GD topics were random like this one. Another topic I can remember is "Hakuna Matata".About 8 members were part of the GD.Speak something sensible about the topic and you'll clear the GD. I think for Schlum it is more an elimination round than a selection round. Most of them cleared GD in my group.
Tips: Only one guy who was silent was left out. So, use the opportunity and speak!
Duration: 10-15 minutes
Round: Group Activity
Experience: We were divided into groups of 4 and were given a few building blocks to build something stable and that can move (4 groups per each group activity round). They then exchange the group models and ask them to sell it to the other groups, as in, you try to sell another group's model. Other groups can ask you two questions each.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Interview started on points outside my resume. They tried to make it a stress interview initially. Then moved on to questions on my institute life and what I would have done differently, if given another chance. A few questions were also based on my resume.
Tips: Interviews are not orthodox. Expect some weird questions and maintain your cool while answering. Prepare a good answer for convincing them that you're not going to do an MBA anytime soon. They are looking for people who'll stay in the company for more than 2 years at least. So, make your answers sound like that . Didn't specifically prepare for this. Know your resume well and more importantly know yourself well.
General Tips: Yes. I started preparing for fin companies after getting shortlisted for DB and Credit Suisse.Read the business parts in the news paper and Economic Times, went through some basics in fin and economics from the books available on lan , did some puzzles, CAT prep to some extent. It might have been the right way of going but it wasn't enough. It didn't work out
well in the end.Brushed up all my internship project works. Being thorough with them is very important.Went through the basics of few related courses. Take good care on what courses you put on resume, because you need to be thorough with them.
Skill Tips: I was confident and my answers were to the point. Knew my resume well. Was able to justify all the questions based on my resume and personality.Started working on my resume earlier though (September may be). Yes, starting earlier would have helped.Resume, courses, project works, little prep for CAT, interview prep - HR answers towards the end. Group prep helps (Wing GDs, mock interviews)
Skills: Puzzels, Team playing, Leadership skills.

Tips: Study notes of core subjects mainly IC Engines, Turbo machines, Heat Transfer etc.
General Tips: I suggest that aim for getting placed as early as possible. There were companies related to profiles like analyst, trading, consultant etc., for which one needs to have an idea about what he has to do during the job in respective profile, and some terms and basic knowledge about the profile, by searching in the net and interview questions asked related to that profile. Hence, it's better to know about them and prepare well before for those companies.

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Questions
- Q1. How would you specify a pneumatic cylinder to manufacturer ?
- Q2. How would you specify spring to manufacturer ?
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: There were four Sections :
1) Verbal
2) DI
3) Mental Ability Test (NTSE level format)
4) Core
Tips: Go through all the core related books and summary. Basic CAT preparation.
Duration: 120 minutes
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: There were 8 people in the GD.
The panelists were looking for new ideas and valid points, steering discussion, letting everyone speak, if someone didn't talk at all then encouraging him/her to speak, starting and concluding topic will be added advantage. Basically, all common GD things.
Tips: But they were mainly looking for people who put forth their ideas and at the same time manage everyone and listen to everyone's point of view.
Duration: 20 minutes
Round: Interview
Experience: It was a 55-minute round with three panels, each having 2 interviewees (HR and Tech).
The questions were all rapid fire type until I stopped answering.
e.g
Panelist: How would you design a knife ?
Me: Safety, ease of use, good grip, ergonomics, less effort.
P: What material ?
Me: alloy steel (i was being careful!)
P: What alloy steel
Me: The one which has more wear resistance.
P: What property gives material more wear resistance ?
Me: Hardness
P: How will you increase material's hardness ?
Me: Annealing
P: Wrong, quenching.
Tips: Prepare by going through all mechanical engineering stuff and go through all the projects thoroughly. Also, prepare everything in your resume.
I think I got in because of my automobile related projects and internships, especially, Mahindra and Mahindra R & D. I guess the interviewee had made his mind to take me in just by looking at my resume, but still during the interview he was testing my knowledge other than design.
General Tips: Some things that an aspiring candidate should concentrate on:
1) In depth knowledge and be through with your projects.
2) Resume is one of the key things. If not in shortlisting, then at least in final interview it will matter a lot. Take help from everyone while writing your resume, take feedback from maximum people all around you.
3) Practice GD/ Interview a lot, it will boost your confidence. Finally all comes down to your confidence and how you perform in interview. Don’t be stressed, chill out. Before interview have proper food/water and most importantly stay in a chilled out group of people.
4) Know about the company you are sitting for. Get to know beforehand what they are looking for and then sell yourself in that way. It’s all about marketing yourself by projecting your good points with respect to their requirements.
Skill Tips: I started my preparations in October but I think starting earlier would have helped. My preparation pattern for the placements was:
Core: Going through all the books again. Reading summery of topics, going through GATE/IES materials in Lan.
Projects: All reports, ppt’s.
Interview: Mock interviews with friends / IITMAA
GD: Practice with wing-mates, some online sites like www.indiabix.com.

Tips: Do’s:
Before going for the interview please be aware of the recent affairs in the sector. Please read the day’s newspaper as I was asked a question about Malaysian infrastructure which featured on that day’s newspaper. I couldn’t answer and that was the reason I wasn’t selected in Deloitt Infrastructure
General Tips: I had experience of handling situations in various conditions through my GenSec post. The office is in North India and the reason that I can speak Hindi was obviously an advantage.
Revise basic core subjects. For Infra students revise courses like Infrastructure Planning Management, Construction management, Contracts
Please go through the current affairs of the particular sector you are applying for( finance, Infrastructure). Before coming to the interview read the day’s newspaper.
2nd years: do not give up on your core courses. The employers (whatever sector they might belong to) expect you to do well in your core courses because that is what you are here to do. Try to have a CG above 8.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: There was an apititude test basically in line with CAT pattern. It was conducted online for about 45 min duration. The questions were rather simple but each question was time bound (around 45 sec or so).
Tips: As such I did not have any structured study plan. I did refresh some of my basics in mechanics and analysis. I was more inclined to get a job in aerospace division. Read as per your interest.
Duration: 45 minutes
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Initially, we are seated randomly in a circular manner and each one was given two minutes to describe the topic. It was followed by an tense debate where participants converged and diverged on different sets of issue. They were particularly looking for interpersonal skills and out of the box thinking.
Round: Interview
Experience: The interview was purely management type.More questions were thrown at team building, bio-data, why this company? , project, what you Can contribute for the firm?, where you see yourself in next 5 -10 years, ambitions, some amount of optimization tools and techniques, concluding remarks....Interpersonal skills and clarity in answering where mainly
IBM was a more relaxed interview, which basically dealt with management and interpersonal skills. Questions like “if one of our team mate is very stubborn, lazy, adamant, how will you tackle the situation” were asked.
Tips: College (B Tech) curricular activities, NTSC certificate, Math Olympiad certificate, all India quiz competition awards were noted and appreciated. That really was a booster. That helps in implanting an idea that you are not just blah blah blah.
Skill Tips: Be very sure about your mechanics, analysis and design. These three are the fundamentals.
I haven prepared for placements exclusively. Here were combined discussions. However, it really helps if you can revise and make your fundamentals were clear. The basic understanding should be there. An hour every day for two months will do the trick.
Be really choosy of the company you want to be in. Learn a lot more of the company and get an idea of what they are actually looking for. But still don’t freeze your mind to those realms alone.. Be open minded and cheerful. The first few questions will set the mood of the interview. If you are bale to crack that, then things will be really smooth. Really concentrate on your fundamentals, especially analysis and design.
