5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Initial shortlisting was done on the basis of resume submission. I got a CGPA of 8.20/10.
Round: Test
Experience: There was an online Logical , Quants & Technical test
Tips: I didn't. I used educated guesses to sneak through. It would have helped if I would have revised KDOMS, some Stress/Strain Equations, and Basic Engineering Drawing Techniques.
Duration: 45 min minutes
Round: Interview
Experience: There were two rounds of interviews ;50 mins Tech, 25 mins HR. They asked about Engineering Drawing, the work I did at my 6 months intern, my stint as a Coord and Core, a few questions on my perception of fair play and honesty, what would I do in my first 30 days if the company recruits me? In short, the tech round was more like a pseudo HR round for me.
Round: Interview
Tips: I had attended several other interviews before this one that helped. I had asked a few of my friends to conduct mock interviews for me. So was reasonably well prepared (at least for the HR part). I was pretty straightforward and honest in my answers. I remember I got pretty sentimental talking about honesty, and that perhaps worked in my favour.
Skill Tips: Projects give us an edge during the interviews. You will have sufficient stuff to talk about.

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I have a CGPA 7.38.
Round: Test
Experience: There was an online objective test
Tips: Previous year IIT Gate book is the best thing to prepare for the technical test for any company. I started doing it in October only.
Duration: 80 min minutes
Round: Interview
Experience: There were two rounds of interview ; 30min for Tech and 10 min HR.
Tips: If you are in ED they will test your basic design skills. They showed a CAD drawing and asking the meaning of symbols, then they asked questions related to general designs available in our surroundings like why is that sewage hole round on the ground why not square or others. If you are in Mechanical, they will ask u core Mech subjects. So please first prepare very well subjects related to your respective interns. A whole interview can be drawn on that. In my case it was IC engine so I answered all the questions related to it and that didn't allow them to ask in any other topic.
Round: Interview
Experience: It was gen. All HR rounds just want to test how much positive you are in life, whether you will leave the company soon.
Tips: Be prepared with answers beforehand. The answers to all the above questions should be "depends on the
situation" and describe them in which situation u will choose which one. PS: if it’s a panel where HR is also there, they will try to excite you by asking gen questions like which team you support in IPL, do u have any gf etc. to make you lite, then again shoot you with some questions. Please don’t get deviated by those.
Skill Tips: Mock tests, Aimcats, Gate book. For GDs, we organised them in our wing. It was very helpful.
Kindly do it often in your wing and among your batch mates too. Same goes for interview. There
are lots of general interview questions available on FTP server, prepare for them well and have
mock interviews. "Alumni interviews" were very helpful, please attend that. Randstad sessions were an absolutely waste of money and time. I was mainly selected due to my internship with Bosch. Prepare all subjects related to your intern. It will be the game changer.

1 Interview Round
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: There were 2 GDs, one of them was a general topic on 'Morality - Is it for the weak?' and the other involved the GD group being divided into Core (matching the working profile) and Non- Core. The latter discussion was about why the company should hire students who don't match their working profile and train them later when they could just take students who matched their working profile. GD was based on who could control the team and who could think on their feet. Required overall common subject knowledge.
General Tips: Prepare for tests and interviews. Tell them how the BT projects you have worked on have taught you something related to that profile.
Skill Tips: Overall, Biotech subject knowledge required for a non-core placement is minimal; an average importance of 4 on 10.
