His interview is 90% HR.So u never know what type of interview u r going to face when u walk in there.In my interview the questions were mostly asked from thermodynamics and its applications.
Tips: Be calm and confident.Try not to get nervous.Never try to attempt the questions of which u don't know the answers. Attempting those questions and thereafter not giving answers properly gives a bad impression.

General Tips: As I previously told try to remain calm and not get nervous.If u do so no one can take that job from u.And by chance u don't get selected, then do not get disheartened and just think about ur mistakes and try to improve them as U are the best judge of yourself.
Skill Tips: Do not get nervous in the interview.Do not try to solve the whole technical paper rather go through it and attempt the questions u think u can do.For improving communication skill, try to communicate with ur friends in English. Read newspaper and communicate with urself in mirror ( this method will particularly help u a lot in improving ur communication skills and will also free u from any kind of presentation fears).

College Name: MNIT
Motivation: yeah RIL is a very good company, very large and with a lot of scope.So just go for it as if u want to build ur repo then it is one of the best platform to do so.
Funny Moments: one of my friend got injured before the interview. So when he entered for the interview,HR saw his hand and asked what happened. So he hold HR that he got slipped on stairs. After that HR said to him "khudko ko sambhal nhi pa rhe company ko kya sambhaloge".. So try not to lose ur senses if u face such kind of things .They just purposely do that to check how u can perform under pressure.And that friend of mine was also selected for the job.
