Round: HR Interview
Experience: Call for the interview21st December 2010 was the date I waseagerly waiting for. The results of thewritten examhad beendeclared on 11th November. As expected, I was among those who were now eligiblefor the interview. The interview was to be held in Peerless hotel at Kolkata on21st December. I reached Kolkata a day ahead of the interview.The reportingtime for the interview was 9:30 in the morning. I reached the spot well intime, dressed in formals with shoes well polished. Other candidates weretrickling down and by the appointed hour there were already 15 to 20candidates. We greeted each other with smiles, asked each other usual questionsand anxiously waited for the interview process to begin .Verification ofdocumentsBy 9:30 a.m. the interview team was also there. They welcomed us all.We were provided with tea and snacks by the hotel. It helped us in cooling ournerves. The team briefed us regarding the formalities to be completed. Soon acouple of them started verifying our documents and certificates, one by one.The actual interview started some time later. Those who had their documentsverified were called first. With bated breath, everyone started waiting fortheir turns. Because of the apparent nervousness in the air, we were hardlyspeaking to each other. Some of the candidates were even referring their books.A few of us had to go outside, to getduplicatecopies of ourtestimonials and certificates. The board members were very particular about thedocuments. They were checking each and every relevant document and details withminutest care. They were ensuring that in each of our semesters we had scoredmore than 70% marks. Date of birth and character certificates were beingchecked too.The agonizingwaitThe interviews were each lasting 30 minutes or so. That was making us moretensed. I was wondering how I will survive for 30 long minutes with theinterview board. But then I assured myself that it's not the end of the world.Whatever happens, I will sustain and I will strive to give mybest. Thishelped me in keeping my cool and patiently wait for my turn to come. At last,after hours of waiting, my turn was about to come. It was 2:30 p.m. and we hadnot taken our lunch. Right at that moment, the board decided that everyone willgo for lunch and return by 3 p.m. It was not to my liking. I was eager tofinish the interview first. Moreover, since my turn was next, I was instructedto finish my lunch at the earliest. We were given lunch coupons, but they werenot meant to be used in the same hotel. The coupons were for some restaurantlocated outside the hotel premise. I hurried towards the restaurant. But had towait for my order to materialize. I simply gobbled up the food and rushed backfor the interview. Without giving me any further time, they simply shoved meinside the room, where my fate was finally going to be decided.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: My interview was on 1st July at Anushakti Nagar. The interview started at about 7.45pm and went on till 9.00pm. I was the last candidate in the building so interview went on late. And then one of them started asking about my previous work experience. It went on for 3-5 mins. They have asked about my subject topics which i have answered them.

Control systems: on this topic they will drill about the responses such as domain response, frequency response and zero plot. In my case they tried to find out how the stability would be effected with the varying and changing of various parameters.

Circuit Theory: This topic was all about Rlc circuits, current , voltage , resonance etc. Be prepared to explain theoretically and mathematically.

Electrical machines: This part consisted about 70% of Induction motors. They went in detail about torque slip, transformers. The questions ranged from eddy currents to core material.

Power systems: They asked the questions related to conductors,string efficiency,fault calculations etc. When you prepare for machines try preparing the related fields too.

Overall the experience was great. The panel was great. Even if you be nervous at that stage, the panel tries to comfort you by giving the hints. They told one thing that they were looking for direct answers, as i was not able too answer lot of questions initially but i was able to answer after a bit of hints.

Tips: I want to give a suggestion to place the subjects which you are confident of in the top place. The first 20 to 30 mins would be based on those topics. As I was good in control systems and circuit theory it went on well.

I would like to advice to be prepared to wait for a whole day. I had my interview after 11 hours of getting into the building. Even though it will take much time, they provide you with snacks.

General Tips: All the best for the guys who are yet to attend the interview. Hope to hear from you all.
