Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: For Direct Interview - Should have min GATE cutoff score decided by BARC (Changes every year).
Written test for ones who did not write GATE or did not have enough GATE score.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: As its been more than 6 years that I had gone through this interview, the above were some of the questions I could recall. The interview went for around 50 min. The committee firstly asks our favorite 3-4 subjects. I chose Fluid mechanics(FM), Heat Transfer(HT), Mass Transfer(MTO), Thermodynamics and Chemical Reaction Engg(CRE) in the given order f preference. The committee would normally have 5-6 members. First 15 minutes the questions were regarding FM, then 15 minutes regarding HT and further 10 min for MTO, last 10 min thermodynamics and CRE which I totally screwed up. The weightage lies with the performance in first three subjects you chose as favorite. The committee is really friendly.They do not pressurize nor try to confuse you. They always give hints to go in the right path. I have stumbled alot in between, but the committee was quite supportive in getting answers from me. After the interview was over, I came out and in 2 min, the attender came out and gave me the medical examination chit. At that time (2009), getting a medical slip gives 90% chances of getting the job. Presently I think getting medical slip gives 50% chances of getting the job.
Tips: Don't think that your academic history would impress them. You selection totally is based on your performance in the interview. Be thorough with the basics of all the core subjects and wisely choose the fav subjects. Always try to understand the hints given by the committee. All they expect is that if the candidate can relate the theory to practical or not. And if you have zero idea about a question do not hesitate to confront rather than blabbering something wrong.
General Tips: Communication skills do not matter in this interview.
Skill Tips: Just brush up the basics. No need to remember all the formulas and equations. I just read Mccabe Smith before the interview.
Skills: Knowledge in Core subjects
College Name: Chaitanya Bharathi Institute Of Technology (CBIT)
Motivation: Scope for exploring new fields, salary Package

Alternate documents for Employee verification?
My new employer asked for my previous offer letters and salary slips. When I inquired, they said it was for background verification.
However, I feel that providing these documents might affect salary negotiations, and it feels a bit unethical too.
What alternative documents can I provide for employment verification?
