4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: the test had aptitude and technical sections in equal parts. the aptitude part was very easy, you have to score almost full in this section if you are from IITs. The technical part was also easy, but you have to get your basics right to score well in the test.Once you got through the test round,you have great chances of getting the job.During my placement, they selected people who scored above 90%.
Tips: In the technical round, all the topics will be covered, so you should be clear with your basics in all the topics.I had to put special attention on topics such as pumps since it was not taught for us.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: If you have an above average CGPA, they try really hard to eliminate you in the technical round, so brace yourself and be ready for it.If you are an average pointer,you will find it relatively easy, you will get through the round provided you don't show your stupidity.
Mine was a stress interview right from the start, they didn't agree upon whatever I said. In fact at one point one of the interviewer turned towards another and just said "yeh kuch bhi boltha hai yaar". At the end I got through. I attribute my success to the tolerance and patience I showed during the interview.Whatever they say try not to give up and try to answer their questions in a crisp manner.
They asked questions about my projects as well as questions on application of chemical engineering in the industry.
Tips: I attribute my success to the tolerance and patience I showed during the interview.Whatever they say try not to give up and try to answer their questions in a crisp manner.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: All the candidates who got through the technical round got the jobs.So as you can understand the HR round is "Naam ke vasthe" atleast during my placement.
General Tips: Especially for this company people need not bother about their communication skills. If you just can communicate your ideas in english that's suffice.
Skill Tips: If you aim for Reliance, preparing for GATE really helps you.
Skills: chemical engineering basics, stress handling ability
College Name: IIT MADRAS
Motivation: Wanted to do work in core chemical engineering.And in reliance, since it has the largest petroleum refinery in Asia you will have great learning oppurtunity.
Funny Moments: In my first round of interview, they really tried to stress me out. At one point in the interview they looked as if they were not interested in whatever I say and one of the interviewer tried to show that intent by telling the other interviewer "Yeh kuch bhi boltha hai yaar"(He is bullshitting). But since I knew that I was not bullshitting, I didn't yield to the stress and answered all the questions patiently.
In the HR round, since there was a point about chemistry Olympiad, they asked me a question on chemistry. I didn't really know the answer but I tried to answer it. The interviewer was a chemistry graduate and she got visibly angry at my effort of answering. She yelled at me and created an impression I screwed it up.But at the end she suddenly burst into a laugh and told that I got the job.Happy ending atleast :)

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Core- 30 questions + aptitude- 20 questions . There was negative marking.
Tips: 1) The aptitude part of the paper was similar to CAT, although it was much easier.
2) The core part had questions mainly from DOME , turbomachines and Hydraulics.
Duration: 50 minutes
Round: Interview
Experience: It was fully core. Basically it was all from turbomachines and DoME.
Although there was no separate HR round, few questions such as why reliance, how do you see yourself after three years were asked.
Skill Tips: Fifteen days before the placement is sufficient if one targets only core. However, if one targets non-core, then starting early would definitely help.
A candidate must ensure analysis of CGPA Vs Percentage of people placed in core, so that junta could have clear target and prepare accordingly.
