Round: Group Discussion Experience: Everyone was given two minutes of time to speak. It was more of an extempore rather than a group discussion. We were given the freedom to choose a topic among ourselves, failing to do so a topic was given by the Chair. The group strength was of 15 students each. Tips: It is better to outperform in group discussion and get noticed. It makes you half selected. Try to touch technical, social and economical aspects of the given topic. A prior preparation on current trending topics will help you push further. Duration: 10 Min minutes

Round: Group Discussion Experience: Most of the questions were related to coal geology and structural geology like coal grades, deposits in India, their main use, i.e. whether coking or non-coking grade and sedimentology. Tips: Donāt hesitate to speak anything. Be brief and to the point. Good analytical ability and of course oratory ability is required
Round: Interview Experience: Geological as well as some HR related questions can be asked. Tips: Be confident and if you donāt know an answer do not beat around the bush.
General Tips: For written test R S Agarwaal aptitude and reasoning is sufficient. For Technical, whatever is studied in curriculum is sufficient. Also project and internship parts should be well known. At last One thing one should keep in mind that one has to sell oneself so do whatever you think can describe yourself and that will be beneficial for your customer(company). All the best for all the participants from my heart and soul. Skill Tips: CGPA as well as results in secondary and senior secondary levels matter. Government companies do not prefer candidates who have gaps in their academic career. Not necessary for students in Geology but good field knowledge and intepretation capability of structural maps do play an important role in the selection process. A bit of knowledge about the industrial scenario is required. Many of the students could not even define ādipā and āstrikeā. So I think a solid base in structural geology is required to join a mining company. College Name: IIT KHARAGPUR
