Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: In all honesty, I was slightly shocked, when I found out I was shortlisted. Most of the companies that came before this looked for people with high CG. I feel that they look for a well rounded resume. If you have good PoR's, play sports and have other extra curricular activities, you can expect a shortlist even if you have have a low CG. Also it helps if you have an industrial internship in your post 2nd year summer.
Tips: The importance of making an aesthetically pleasing resume cannot be stressed enough. Don't forget to highlight sports, dance and martial arts. Pitch your PoR's and extra curricular achievements well. Prepare your resume well in advance. Get it reviewed from as many seniors as you can. Try to make a unique resume for schlumberger.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: They conducted interviews via video conferencing. There was only one panelist. The interview was very short and resume based. They shortlisted 15 people. Everyone's interview was very similar. I was easily able to direct the conversation in whichever direction I wanted to. I spoke about my PoR's, internship, sports, literary activities, everything other than academics. I had a clear idea about why I wanted the internship. The panelist seemed to like my answer. He specifically asked me about what a Hostel Literary Secretary does. We briefly spoke about what I wanted to do in my life. Overall the interview was a breeze.
Tips: Be confident. If you are communication skills are good, the interview should be a piece of cake. Overall the final selection matters mostly on your resume. People who are good at sports have an advantage.That being said my sports section was just above average, so that is not the only thing that matters.
My suggestion would be to play some sport, an inter IIT medal always helps. Apart from that make a good resume, be thoroughly prepared to answer all questions based on your resume. Also have a clear idea about what an inter

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The Aptitude and Technical sections contain 25 questions each. There were three types of tests - Mechanical, ECE and Software. I wrote the mechanical test. The technical section contained questions from courses in aerospace, mechanical and few from material sciences. I couldn't solve all the questions. Probably solved around 60% of the paper perfectly and guessed the remaining.
Tips: There won't be enough time to finish the paper, so we must solve fast. Also, there isn't any negative marking. So, take advantage.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 50
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview went smoothly. I was able to answer most of the questions. If I didn't know the answer to a question, I said I didn't know.The interviewer was kind enough to clear my doubts.The questions asked were of the basics in gas dynamics.
Tips: Be confident in whatever you say. Say that you don't know the answer directly if that's the case. Expect questions from the BASICS of the core courses you have taken. It helps if you have done a good project or internship elsewhere. Also make sure that you convey your area of interest/s very clearly.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview went well. I was fairly confident in answering the questions.
Tips: Show confidence, speak freely and make sure you smile. We all know the kind of questions that would be asked in a HR interview. So prepare yourself beforehand, but make sure it doesn't sound like you're reciting something you have mugged. It should be like a general conversation.
General Tips: Be honest. Don't make up things. If the interviewer(HR in particular) thinks you are bluffing about your opinion on a certain topic, make sure that you have facts backing up your opinion. Working on a decent core project/internship beforehand would be very helpful. Apply only if you are deeply motivated to work for a core company, the interviewers would find out anyway if your interest lies elsewhere. See that you have material relevant to the internship profiles offered by the company. And always be confident in body language and conversation.
