Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: GD was conducted for shortlisted candidates and candidates were divided into groups of 6 people.There were 3 topics and each topic was discussed for 2 minutes.No specific rules,like each person needs to speak,are to be followed during the GD.Anyone can initiate,intervene,etc. Finally we were asked to link all three topics and this discussion went on for another 2 minutes.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Only a single round lasting about 40-45 minutes.There were only 4 people in the panel and technical as well as HR questions were asked. First I was asked to go through my own resume, “Introduce/Tell us about yourself?". E.g.:“Where have you shown leadership qualities?Have you led a
team?Size of team? What new initiatives did you take?”.Core questions starting form basics like “How does an airplane fly?” to specific questions about the different types of engines used in airplanes,their specifications, etc. were asked. HR questions were put up like"What was the most difficult decision in your life?" and grilled on my internship for 15-20 minutes which I did in Transocean. (Another oil field services company).
General Tips: You need to be very good in the basics of your
core courses and if you have done an internship in the oil industry,
you will definitely be grilled on that.Questions will be asked in quick succession.
Skill Tips: Highlight any intern in Oil industry or anything related to that in your resume.Any POR or any sport activity which shows your leadership qualities should me mentioned in your resume.

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Questions
- Q1. “What do you expect to be doing at the company?”
- Q2. “What do you expect yourself to be doing 5 years down the line?” Be honest
- Q3. If an egg is thrown from a 1000 storeyed building, determine from what minimum floor it should be thrown for it to crack.”
- Q4. How many tennis balls can fill INS Vikrant?”
- Q5. “Why Credit Suisse?”
- Q6. What have you recently read in the newspaper?”
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The person should be a team player, should have good interpersonal skills, and should have good leadership qualities to control the flow of the discussion. Being a good conflict manager also helps.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: Puzzle solving type question was asked. For first question I solved it using Binary Sorting Method. Basically, throw the egg from 500th floor. If it doesn’t crack then go to 750th floor, if it cracks then go to 250th floor. And continue. (Egg is quite strong of course). And for second, I used volume of each ball and void fraction. They see your approach rather than the numbers.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: I told them that I’m not sure about what I would be doing after 5 years but I have a vision to be a decision maker of the company. I also told them frankly that I wasn’t really interested in Chemical Engineering.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: Interview was taken by the director. For first question, I answered,” It’s in Bombay and I am from Bombay.” For second, I told the director about the new low in oil prices along with its trends and reasons for the same. Demand and supply was used as a reason.
General Tips: The person should be a team player, should have good interpersonal skills, and should have good leadership qualities to control the flow of the discussion. Being a good conflict manager also helps.
Skill Tips: Should be a team player. Should have a good story to tell. Should be interesting -There should be key take away for everything you do. For example for my events core-ship, we cut a few events to increase quality, quantity and price money of other events we founded Sangam to bring all clubs under one umbrella. Won’t really help in interview directly but will help in problem solving.
Skills: Interpersonal skills, Systems identification, Numerical Techniques, Time series, Linear algebra, Multivariate Data analysis
