Round: Test Experience: Technical quiz, objective type, offline
Round: Technical Interview Experience: Your knowledge in design codes, basic structural analysis, foundation engineering.what you know about company,about the limits of stresses, % steel, foundation engineering questions.
Round: HR Interview Experience: They were looking for Advanced Reinforced concrete, Steel structures, foundation engineering,Structural Dynamics, prestressed concrete structures. Tips: They even didn't looked at my certificates.
General Tips: I think I got selected because my zeal to join their firm. I stressed that I wana join them in personal interview.Casually attempted. just with one day preparation.Areas I prepared for were Structural Analysis, R.C.C, Steel.Be cool, open minded. Skills: Data Structures, Management skills College Name: IIT MADRAS
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.
Round: Test Experience: Technical (Structural engineering questions only) and aptitude test
Round: Technical Interview Tips: Questions on Earthquake engineering, structural dynamics,Design of RC and steel structures can also be asked.
Round: HR Interview Experience: HR interview is trivial if you are selected through technical interview.
General Tips: Technical/aptitude test and technical interview had maximum weightage. If you crack it the best way, you are in! Skill Tips: CGPA does not help much. Internship, project etc. questions were not asked. Skills: Aptitude skills, Technical skills, Designing skills College Name: IIT MADRAS
