Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Everyone who had a CGPA of 6.5+ with no live backlogs got shortlisted.

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: The Panel comprised of 4 members (Electrical + Mechanical + Chemical + HR). The interview started with some general HR questions and then they asked questions to check how much I knew about the Oil & Gas Sector and especially IOCL. I was unable to answer questions about Diesel Specifications produced by IOCL.

I had done my summer training at an Oxygen Plant in SAIL so they asked me questions related to the process of separation of oxygen from air and purity of oxygen required in the Steel Industry.

Then I was asked questions related to design of Heat Exchangers and it's maintenance. After that, some very basic questions about distillation column (reflux ratio, use of steam etc) were asked. These questions were pretty straightforward.

Then, they asked me to describe the complete refining process and as I was explaining the process, in-between they asked me questions like: why desalting/dehydrosulphurization is required, why steam is used, effect on product quality on increasing/decreasing reflux ratio, why VDU is needed. These were also very easy questions if you have taken any course related to Petroleum Refinery Engineering.

The last person then gave me a scenario in which I was the shift incharge and there was a major malfunction (fire, leakage) in one of the important equipments?. I was asked to draft a plan according to which I was supposed to take steps.


Tips: Try your best to convince the panel that you are planning to stay in the company for a long time. Justify your passion for Oil and Gas sector.

If you are from chemical engineering stream, thoroughly revise the petroleum refining process as most of the questions will be related to crude distillation.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test was based on quantitative aptitude and had a few data interpretation questions as well
Tips: CAT preparation would be helpful. Even if you are not preparing for CAT, practice CAT material or Arun Sharma to sail through the tests
Duration: 50 minutes
Total Questions: 30

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I was one of the last ones to be interviewed so I was under the presumption that I had lost the company. Since, everyone was just asked about their CV, it was important to show my uniqueness in terms of the skill sets and the answers to trivial HR questions.
I complimented their website and said that demonetisation is a boon for the company as there would be more digital currency transactions. I was asked technical questions because I had mentioned those terms in my CV. For most of the other candidates, no technical questions were asked.
Tips: Stay calm, confident and sharp. It is important to know about the company and why you would be a good fit. Saying the right things at the right time is paramount in bagging an offer.

Skills: Analytical Skills, Communication And Confidence, Quantitative Aptitude
