2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Fairly lengthy discussion on the six month intern. Other questions also mainly about projects done.
Tips: Clear understanding of work done in intern.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Asked to site instances where... 'You showed your leadership skills'. 'Had a difference of opinion with mentor/manager at intern', 'you formed a good friendship with someone'...
They shortlisted about 25-30 people for interviews. Cg (>8.2) was definitely a criteria. I think having projects in fem or control systems helped. Not mandatory though.
Tips: Good communication skills.
For core: Know your projects inside-out. Revise fundamentals of some basic courses (strength of materials, control systems, fem).

2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I had a single interviewer. I started by telling about myself. After the general stuff, I moved on to the core engineering areas that I am interested in and the projects I had done. I was asked to explain any one of them. I did that pretty well and I guess he was impressed by the way in which I explained them. He asked me only a simple question after letting me choose the topic. He suggested FEA, but when I said I am not very comfortable with that we moved to mechanics (I suggested it).
Round: HR Interview
Experience: How another person would describe you, your interests, what you do to improve yourself, what have you done to improve your career, why Eaton, why no higher studies, where do you see yourself in 3-5 years, greatest achievement, one time when you went against authority, one time when you had a bad relationship with someone and how you sorted it out, strengths, weaknesses..usual HR stuff
Tips: Focus on courses that you really like and know them in and out. Also be very thorough on the projects that you have done. Speaking with confidence really helps. I wasn't really prepared, so for the HR questions I was quite frank even if I took some time. It would be good to think about all that you have done while going through common HR questions.
I could do well on the tech part since I could direct it to my comfort zones. I talked for about 15minutes on my DDP project. I had good projects on my resume and I think that helped too. I was able to direct my interviewer to my intern/DDP in the beginning itself. That was a good idea.
General Tips: I had a thorough understanding of my projects. It is good to have a very good understanding of the basics in the courses that you like/that are relevant.

Round: Interview
Tips: The HR round for ETLP primarily tried to see how the candidate deals with conflicts in the team which he may be leading. This they do by telling the candidate to recount stories from life where they either learned something, or had to implement a solution which didn't work, or had to settle a dispute and so onQuestions might be about any times you went against authority, when you had a bad relationship with someone and how you sorted it out, strengths, weaknesses, etc.There are standard convincing, sometimes untruthful, redundant answers. Avoid them, it makes things much simpler
General Tips: 1.Write down all the possible questions and answers in a note and keep browsing it. It varies from person to person. Some people can speak their mind well without having a written material.2.It's also important that the candidate be in control of where the interview is going so that he can bring it to his strong points.3.Project matching their profile.4.Communication skills.

Know very well about the company and prepare with the attitude that this isn't your last resort, but with humility and seriousness.
