Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I was the first candidate. I answered all the questions right but I had this feeling that interviewer was not happy. My friend actually converted this technical interview into an HR interview and got selected without much technical so I do not know the actual reason behind my rejection.

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: A good core related resume helps a lot.
Round: Test
Experience: Some basic aptitude practice is useful for clearing the online test.
Tips: If you apply for thermal profile, study the basics for Heat and Mass Transfer, the dimensionless constants (Re, Pr, Bi, Nu), and viscous fluid flow (Boundary layer/ Turbulent flow) for online test
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Asked typical questions famous for the HR interviews.
Tips: Don't fail to read your thesis and various other internships that you have done. Many questions will be asked from them. Especially preparing for HR rounds for the companies like GE, will help you get an edge over the other candidates. Don't mention or even hint at higher studies. Display interests in EEDP programs and also in the company. Don;t loose heart and always be confident.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: first round involved me explaining my thesis and answering some weird abstract questions regarding an infinite number of points vortices in a line. I told the interviewer that I was unprepared for thermal questions although I did very well in the other two questions asked

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Topics:
a) Subjective
b) Fluid & Programming, speed of boat/stream type, problem on age, Mohr Circle, B.M. , deflection, shear stress in circular c/s, CAT type questions, where shear stress in maximum in the diagram? In a sphere what is the ratio between volumetric strain and circumferential strain, torsion natural frequency of a system having a circular disc connected to a rod? Given: Circle- radius, 2 chord lengths, fixed relation between distance from centre of chords if they are having a ratio of 1:2 lengthwise
c) Puzzles - A.P sum to n terms, GP next no. in series, A starts t1 B starts t2 at what time will they meet?

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: It was an online test.
Aptitude test was simple, below CAT level.
The technical test consisted of questions related to Heat and mass transfer, the dimensionless constants (Re, Pr, Bi, Nu), viscous fluid flow, etc.
The HR round had questions like tell me about yourself.
Tips: If you plan to apply for thermal or flumech profile, study the topics like Heat and mass transfer, the dimensionless constants (Re, Pr, Bi, Nu), viscous fluid flow thoroughly
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Questions were thesis and course related.
An abstract question regarding infinite number of point vortices on a line was asked.
I was unprepared for questions on thermodynamic cycles, flow networks. Luckily, I was asked a numeric question and an algorithm on how to sort an array, which I could answer.
Tips: Don't fail to read up on your thesis!
Round: HR Interview
Experience: This round involved typical HR questions. I had prepared my answers according to the profile, which formed the bulk of the interview.
Tips: Don't forget to prepare for HR. This is critical.
General Tips: Don't mention higher studies, and display interest in the company and the profile.
And most importantly, do not lose heart!
