Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Written test- both aptitude and the core subjects. In Core subject 50 Questions 30 minutes. In Aptitude 30 Questions in 30 minutes. The level of aptitude would be average but the core paper dealt with a lot of basics. For electrical people, a lot of questions were from transformer and induction machine, synchronous machine, Power system, Power electronics basics, Power plant engineering, and switchgear & protection devices. Thirteen people from EEE had appeared for the test

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They basically look for two qualities, first you have knowledge of the core subjects and second that you would stick with the company at least for some years.

Skill Tips: Try to stick to the core and basically Transformer and machines, switchgear and protection, do not go towards the other subjects of interests as they are not looking for that profile. Be calm, they might look a bit serious people, but they make you very comfortable during interview.

Interview Preparation Tips

General Tips: The technical paper is not that easy (But it doesn't matter much since it's all relative). This is the basic tip for any interview- try to keep the interviewer in the subject that you know about it. A lot depends on the HR person. Just be frank with him. Give 'to the point' answers. The whole process took two days and in the end I was satisfied. The interviews were easy to handle, compared to many other companies that I had sat for.
Skill Tips: It is important to have some basic technical knowledge when you are sitting for a core company. If you have done your project in a core subject, please be thorough with that. As for people from EEE, important topics that RIL asked questions on: Machines- Induction motors, Synchronous Machines, Transformers. Also try to understand the basic concepts of DCMachines. Just basic understanding of these subjects as taught in class is enough.

Interview Preparation Tips

General Tips: A Stone Is Broken By The Last Stroke Of Hammer. This Doesn't Mean That The First Stroke Is Useless. I started preparing for placement when 7th sem started. Got rejected by many companies but kept on preparing. Finally got placed at the end of 7th sem. Whatever I studied from beginning till end helped me. Overall I can’t explain my experience. You have to feel it when your time will come.
Skill Tips: Read basics of Compressors, Turbines, Pumps, Thermodynamic cycles. Most of the questions were from these subjects. Beside that, they asked some general questions from other subjects.e.g.- Difference between 2-stroke and 4-stroke IC engine, Tolerance grade, relative humidity etc. Be thorough with your industrial training because most of the time interviews starts with questions from your industrial training.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Apti followed by technical test 1hr each.
Duration: 60 minutes

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Shorlisted candidates were called for interview.

General Tips: HR interview was the toughest. Rapid fire questions - will let you no time to think. Unless you answer them carefully & wisely they will find a way to pull your legs. Do not get depressed if you are rejected. It is definitely not that others are better than you- only luck was on their side. Every company that registers will bring you ample opportunity to manifest your learning in this college, you will realize that the wait was worth it only on the day you get placed.
Skill Tips: Think smart and do your best in the test, do not badger yourself with tough & complex questions. Be thorough with basic concepts especially the elementary things. Interview questions will cover diverse topics from various fields. They do not expect you to be an expert in everything, but you will have to know basics for example- I was asked working of an IC engine, Eddy current phenomena and how its employed as testing method, wrought vs cast products, etc. If you do not know something, be frank and say it loud and clear.

3 Interview Rounds

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Written test- Two papers consisting of General Aptitude and Branch Specific Questions. I found the latter to be a comparatively tough paper.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: It was quite short (approximately 15 to 20 minutes). The interviewer asked questions related to a form which everyone was required to fill before going for the interview. This form also contained a question asking one to list three subjects. The interviewer generally asks questions based on these. Also, I faced two or three questions related to the PPT.

General Tips: It was not as tough as I imagined it to be; in fact, quite simple compared to the day long grind, which students from other branches face.
Skill Tips: General Revision of Subjects should be just fine. Listen attentively to the PPT. Explain your answers in simple terms, do not use high-level mathematics.
