Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: There was aptitude and tech test. Duration was around 1 hr. Tech was based on fundamental concepts in structural engineering. First shortlist was based on this.
Duration: 60 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Criteria for getting shortlisted at each stage of the process was student shouldn’t have any backlogs throughout. Asked me to explain some methods of analysis in structural engineering.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Two rounds of interview. First tech, then followed by HR interview for those who were selected in tech round

General Tips: They weren’t looking for any particular course or project. Short listing was purely based on the written test.And I think I got selected because I expressed my interest in structural engineering and convinced the
interviewer, even though my specialization was Infrastructural Engg. I showed all the courses I did in structural engineering and explained my DDP, which is also related to structural engineering.I targeted companies with structural engineering (core) profile. I didn’t do any separate preparation for placements. But, I was doing some courses in structural engineering that semester, so I was in touch with all the concepts.
Skill Tips: They weren’t looking for any particular course or project. Short listing was purely based on the written test.In recruiting process projects do matter a lot. My suggestion is it is better to do 2 or 3 good projects apart from regular course projects. For companies that go through resume based short listing, projects are very important. Make use of summer and winter holidays for doing projects.
College Name: IIT MADRAS
Motivation: Applied to: SVINT Engineering Pvt Ltd, W.S.Atkins India Pvt Ltd, Arup India Pvt Ltd.SVINT isn’t a good company. In TCE, even though the package is less, standards are good. Arup focused only on HR interview (for an hour) and nothing technical.
