Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The TECHNICAL Section consisted of 25 (1 mark) questions. Most of the questions in this section were from Mechanics (that we had studied way back in class-11). A few questions were from Engineering Mechanics.The APTITUDE Section consisted of 25 (1 mark) questions. The questions were simple aptitude based questions that everyone can practice from the site: indiabix.comThere was NO negative marking :)
Tips: 1) All the questions were simple to those who had their BASICS right...so don't try to practice tough questions..first try to know the BASICS of the subject!2) Be fast!3)Please make sure that you answer ALL the questions even if you don't know the answer to some! ;)
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 50
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The Interviewers were very friendly. They started the P.I session with a number of H.R questions which helped me feel more comfortable and confident. I've mentioned some of the questions above. There were some more basic HR questions (i'm not being able to recollect them at this moment).
Tips: This (the HR round) is your chance to create a GOOD impression on the Interviewers and to convince them why you are suitable for the Job.........so TAKE IT!!! Just keep a few things in mind:1) Just after entering the Interview room, greet the Interviewers with a WARM smile and a STRONG handshake. Do the same things while leaving.2) Never produce any FALSE data in your Resume3) Be clear and audible while speaking to the Interviewers.4) Always be YOURSELF..and don't even try to project yourself as what you aren't..the Interviewers are experienced enough to find out who is speaking the truth & who is not.5) Always keep a SMILING face while answering :)
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: After a series of HR questions, the Interviewers started asking the above Technical questions. I could answer about 90% of their questions. Overall, it was a good experience!
Tips: 1) Always try to give to-the-point answers. 2) If you don't know the answer to a particular question...Politely tell them that you don't know the answer to that question..but NEVER beat around the bush with your answers.3) Know your subjects as well as you can (but that's hard :P )4) Always keep a SMILING face while answering :)
General Tips: 1)
Skill Tips: CONFIDENCE is the most important skill that every Interviewer is looking out for! Your CONFIDENCE is very much dependent upon your COMMUNICATION SKILLS. So, try to improve your spoken english!A person who can Handle Pressure well, is always preferred over someone who succumbs to pressure!And yes...without SOME Technical knowledge it's impossible to get any job :P
Skills: CONFIDENCE, COMMUNICATION SKILLS, HOW YOU REACT UNDER PRESSURE, (to some extent) TECHNICAL SKILLS

6 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The written round consisted of 200 questions in 2 hours
1> Technical section (100 questions)
2> Numerical aptitude (25 questions)
3> Logical Reasoning (25 questions)
4> General Awareness (25 questions)
5> English (25 questions)
The level of difficulty of the technical section was quite easy. Most of the questions were for checking the overall concepts and none of them included lengthy calculations. Though time is a factor as you have to solve 100 questions in about 1 hour.
One interesting fact about the exam was that both unanswered questions and wrongly answered questions would cost you negative 1/4th marks and thus it is better to attempt all questions. Some of the questions were from ‘uncommon’ sections like Polymer processing, materials of construction etc.
The mathematical aptitude and logical reasoning questions were very easy and practicing R.S Agarwall level questions would be sufficient. Unlike other PSU exams like ONGC, EIL etc., the general awareness section of SAIL’s exam consisted mostly of contemporary ‘hot topics’ and current affairs rather than generic topics like history, geography.
Tips: For the Technical section I would recommend solving :
1> Chemical engineering objective questions by Ram Prasad
2> Indiabix.com
3> 1 marks questions from previous year GATE papers.
I would recommend the following books for the general awareness sections
1> Lucent’s General Knowledge
2> Monthly current affairs magazines like Pratiyogita Darpan, Competition success etc.
Duration: 120 minutes
Total Questions: 200
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Around 40 people were selected for the GD-PI round for a total of 11 general seats in chemical engineering. Among all the PSU’s, the GD round of SAIL was the most interesting and unique. The GD round itself consisted of 3 separate rounds which continued for about 2 hours.
There were about 10 people in each group and about 5 judges.
Round 1
A general topic was given to the group for discussion. The discussion continued for 20 minutes and the group was not directed to present a final conclusion.
The judges scored each participant on the basis of how they were able to communicate and present their point of view
Round 2
10 qualities like honesty, integrity, knowledge etc. were listed and the group was given a task to order the qualities on the basis of which is most requisite of a politician. Initially each individual had to give his order and submit it to the judges and then the topic would be up for discussion for a period of about 20 minutes. At the end of the discussion, the group was asked to present a final conclusive order.
The judges scored each individual on the basis of
1> How well he was able to communicate his point of view
2> Whether the final order varied from the order that he had submitted initially. That is whether he was able to justify his point of view and persuade others or else he was himself swayed by others in the discussion.
Round 3
The group was presented with a case study. The scenario was that the CEO of a bank was going to retire and his replacement was to be selected out of 5 probable candidates. The profile of the bank and its future path was given to us and also the profiles of the 5 candidates in a 5-6 pages long document. Each individual was given 20 minutes to read the document and present his choice. The topic was then open for discussion for about 20 minutes. At the end of the discussion, the group was asked to come to a final conclusion.
The judges graded each candidate on the basis of
1> How well was he able to communicate his point of view
2> Whether he had read the case study in detail and was clear about his choice.
3> Whether he was able to justify his choice to the other members of the group.
Tips: The judges graded each candidate on the basis of
1> How well was he able to communicate his point of view
2> Whether he had read the case study in detail and was clear about his choice.
3> Whether he was able to justify his choice to the other members of the group.
Duration: 120 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The technical interview was of very short duration of about 15 minutes and wasnt tough either. The interviewer might try to confuse you a bit.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR questions were mostly directed towards the extracurricular activities that I had done during college
