Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: On the basis of CGPA

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: I was extremely nervous as this was going to be my first interview as a fresher. Adding to that, their first question was ' who is your favourite basket ball player?' as my CV mentioned that I used to play basketball in school-life. I just didn't know whether I should blabber an arbitrary name or give the honest answer. After giving the latter I was asked how crude oil is seperated from water. I told them that if some time is allowed then crude oil and water will be separated in two layers. Now I dont know why it seemed to me that crude oil having asphalts, coke should have greater specific gravity than water and should appear at bottom. After giving the answer, from their expressions I knew that I had screwed this as well. Now they asked some more teasing questions like why I had joined IIChE, how many meeting I had attended and so on and I don't remember the rest as I was close to tears by then.
Tips: At the end, one of the panelists gently told me 'Please don't be so much nervous from next time'.

Round: Test
Experience: Offline.
No of sections and other details is something I don't remember, they basically wanted to know if I had the basic aptitude required to do the job they were hiring for, that's all.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I just remember that my first line after they asked me, "Tell me something about yourself?" was "Gentleman, I will not waste your time by mentioning all the things that are present in my resume, since you know that already, I'd rather talk about things not portrayed by my resume" and after this statement, there was no looking back.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Overall mood - Free flowing. Questions asked - Technical, logical, requires tickling your brain cells, but easy. Answers were almost almost on point and the few answers were driven by logical thinking. Don't remember the exact questions.
