Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Round 1: MCQs: tech + apti

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Round 2: Interviews; (a) Tech (b) HR

General Tips: It was a Good experience! Tech questions asked were not very difficult, nor too easy, exactly how an interview should be. They were chilled out but smart people. They didn't believe in stress interview, etc. but their questions were direct and logical.
Skill Tips: Don't go for books for last minute brush up. First go through the codes, (456,800). Also, for environmental- the lab manual! Books and Shri Hari notes would be too much for last hours, but the lab manuals have all the necessary and important procedures, and also limits of various pollutants/minerals as specified by the codes. Very helpful for last minute work. Sitaram sir's notes for soil mech should be sufficient. All these done, 1st round should be a cakewalk. Also, there is no harm in saying "I don't know", (not for all the questions of course!). Don't try to give round-about or approximate answers in tech interview. That is not appreciated. They don't expect you to know everything they ask. Just be polite and say "I don't know", but mention that you'll make it a point to learn and understand those topics before you join the company. (Limit State Design for SteelStructures is a big example. We're taught Working Stress, which is now obsolete except for bridge design. Just say that you were not taught, and that you'll read it on your own before you join!)
Skills: RCC Structures, Apti, Quantitative Aptitude, IS codes, Tech question

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: While applying in different companies I simply altered my hobbies and projects in the resume to make them compatible with the profile I was applying for, rest all was kept the same.

Round: Test
Experience: The first round was the written test. The paper tested our skills in verbal ability and our knowledge in the core subjects. The technical questions were asked from ‘Thermodynamics’ and ‘Machining’. The technical part of the paper was difficult and required an in depth conceptual knowledge to solve the questions. Hence knowing the concepts was a must. Some questions involving multiple concepts were also asked; like in one of the question they merged the JCB with hydraulics and created a hybrid question. The test only had objective questions. Nearly 25 people appeared for the test and the company shortlisted eight candidates for the next round.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The next round was a group discussion (GD). The topic of the GD was regarding the lokpal bill. My group consisted of 8 people and all of us got shortlisted for the next round.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: It was a telephonic interview and was conducted in front of a company representative. His main aim was to judge my body language and my speech whilst I reply to the questions asked by the person on the other side of the telephone. The interviewer enquired about my internship and the work I did during my internship. He also asked me the reason for my low grades in spite of having good technical knowledge which was proven from my performance in the written test. I tried to explain him the reason for my low grades but he did not seem convinced. He brought up the same point time and again during the interview that in spite of having good percentage in the 10th and 12th board exams why had my marks been going down regularly since then.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Jindal Steel is a core company for Mechanical Engineering students. I knew about it and its operations by browsing through its website. They were not so much interested in what I knew about the company but were interested in what I had written in my resume.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The resume is more than just mere personal information form – it should give a complete picture about the candidate since it is the first impression the interviewer gets about you.I wanted to get recruited in a core sector company. I wanted to work in a company related to power sector consequently I designed my resume accordingly.
Tips: Do not lie. In case if you fail to respond to questions asked from the points that you mentioned in your resume you might squander your chances of getting recruited to the company. Hence be truthful when you mention anything in your resume, at the same time be concise and precise because the interviewer cannot spend a lot of time on a single resume.

Round: Test
Experience: First I contacted some of my seniors who were working with the company. It is from them that I learnt that a lot of questions from power system protection are asked in the written test. In general if you search the internet about the type of questions asked in these tests you might get some awry information. The main reason being that the same company might turn up in different colleges with different profiles consequently the questions asked in their tests might vary from college to college; hence in order to avoid such discrepancy it is always suggested to consult some of the seniors.
The company conducted a technical written test. The questions were majorly from control systems and further from PID (Proportional Integral Differential) control systems. There were also some basic electrostatic questions. Few questions were also asked from power and machining, though we were expecting a higher proportion of power related questions. The company had come to the campus to recruit for their steel unit and power unit, consequently knowledge on control system and power was a must.
The test was an objective online test – but it was not an elimination test.
Tips: A candidate appearing for this company’s written test should have good level of knowledge in control systems and power.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I along with my friends practised for the GD. We would conduct the mock GD amongst ourselves.The GD topic that was allotted to my group during the GD round was FDI in retail. The topics allotted to other groups were on cricket and the ongoing (at that time) Anna Hazare movement. The GD was again not an elimination round.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The first interview was conducted by an alumnus of our institute. He began by asking me for a brief introduction. He wanted a brief reply. Then he enquired about my 3rd year internships. I had done my internship as a project manager in L&T power. The work that I did there was based on how an idea or a concept is translated into reality. He asked me to explain the kind of work that I did there and why I chose that internship. He also asked me to explain the SLD of a power plant. SLD stands for a single line diagram and is drawn for study of huge power plants and refineries. An SLD is analogous to the electronic diagrams drawn to study electronic circuits. He was surprised at how much I managed to learn from the internship that lasted for duration of only two months. I replied that the underlying principle behind whatever I learnt there was the concept of “relaying” which I was quite proficient in.
Next he started asking me questions that I had not anticipated. He asked me to explain the differences that I thought existed between the kinds of work that I did in L&T and the work I would be expected to do in Jindal steel. I replied to it by explaining the differences in the kind of business the two companies did.
He enquired whether I had questions to ask. Generally people tend to ask some crappy questions like ‘What is the growth of the company?’ and the likes, but i earnestly suggest that if you have attended the PPT then ask some questions from the points mentioned during the PPT which showcases your attentiveness as well as genuine interest in the company’s work. During the PPT I had learnt that the PLF (Plant Load Factor) of the company is very high I asked him to explain me the reason for this this; also the company had a huge ongoing project in Orissa I asked him about the future plans of the company in Orissa and the problems that the company is facing with respect to the development of a current project. I asked these questions to show him my level of interest in the company and also that i was attentive during the PPT.
Then he moved over to my 2nd year projects. I did my 2nd year internship in NDPL (North Delhi Power Limited). He asked me to explain the kind of work I did in this internship. Power companies are generally involved in one of the 3 businesses: generation, transmission or distribution. NDPL is involved in distribution of power. I told him that the project i worked on was minimization of harmonics in distribution system. He asked me explain the reason for these harmonics in the distribution system which is a major headache in such companies. I told him that the non-linear loads like the refrigerators and air conditioners were the major cause of such harmonics. Next i told him the measures that were adopted by NDPL for control of harmonics.
He then moved over to the minor project that i did. The project was a simple one and this aroused his amazement. I explained that the project was allotted only 2 credits and also told him that through the project i learnt the usage and properties of various components like capacitors, resistors and the likes. He was convinced with my reply.
Important Tip: I would recommend that one should do a thorough research on the kind of business of the company in which one did his internship in  or is applying for a job because it is very essential to know the place where one did his internship in and where one is going to go to.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This interview was supposed to be an HR interview but the interviewer eventually drifted over to technical aspects. He guessed that since I had done all my internships in the past in  power sectors my area of interest would be power and also since the company had very little to do in power sector and more in the mining sector I would have to go a through a new beginning all together. I explained him that the internship I did was not about power generation or distribution, but was about protection and relaying; I told him I did the work that a maintenance engineer would do. He was convinced that the power industries do indeed possess a wider scope.
He asked me about my birth place and also enquired about my family background.
He then asked me to explain my major project. I told him that we were supposed to do our major project in the next semester. However, I still gave him a brief idea about my major project. I told him about the future prospects about my project and also the kind of difficulties that I was likely to face. He asked me some basic questions pertaining to the project which I managed to answer quite easily.
I had also mentioned photography as my area of interest. He asked me to explain the specifications of the camera used in the photography section in the hobbies club.
He lastly asked me to specify that if given an option to work either in a well-established company or in a growing company  where work would be more but incentives would be less then where would I prefer to work. I replied that I would be prefer working in a growing company like Jindal steel because that would enable me to learn more and also deal with newer technologies because in established companies still obsolete technologies are used.
Tips: I would suggest that one should never refer any website for framing answers to HR questions. You have to speak about yourself only and frame your answers after giving a detailed thought to your abilities/strengths/goals etc. Also it might prove to be beneficial to consult some seniors who has been working in the same company or has some experience with HR interviews.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: Jindal Steel is a very reputed company and the main source of information was the pre placement talk given by the company.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The written round consisted of aptitude questions, mainly from verbal ability and logical reasoning with some questions also from quantitative ability section. The questions were easy to solve and the time allotted was sufficient. There were no negative marking and I could easily attempt all the questions and was one of the top scorers of this round. Since this was a pen and paper round, one can attempt the questions in any order.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Since I was one of the top scorers of the aptitude round, I was the second person to go in for the interview. Even though it was a technical round, I was not asked questions from my domain (metallurgical & materials engineering), rather they asked me general HR questions. I could answer all of them with valid reasons.
Tips: Be well prepared with at least one subject from your domain. Other candidates were asked questions from their subjects. Be prepared with our summer internship project and whatever you stated in your CV. They interviewers are experienced people, so never try to show your over-smartness in front of them. This is not an elimination round.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Immediately after the technical interview, I was summoned from another round of HR interview in another room. Being a girl, they asked me whether I would be able to work in a steel plant in harsh conditions. I had prepared for this answer from beforehand, so I could convince them well for hiring me. They asked me about my strengths and weaknesses. Other general HR questions were also asked which I had already faced in the previous round.
Tips: Be prepared with general HR questions and be confident while stating your facts. Don't get nervous as it may lead to your rejection. This is the final round. So, good luck.

General Tips: I have shared all the tips in the previous answers. So follow them and you can get hired easily. Never get nervous and don't be over-confident as both show negativity.
Skill Tips: All the 3 skills are required for acing any interview. So, develop these as much as you can.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I used a single resume for all the companies that I applied to. I mentioned my extra-curricular activities and my projects with the projects relevant to the profile on offer getting a higher priority.

Round: Test
Experience: The first round In Jindal Steel and Power Limited was a written test. The test was a completely technical paper, there were no aptitude questions asked in the test. Questions were asked from fluid machinery, stresses in beams, heat and mass transfer, manufacturing techniques and material properties. The duration of the test was 60 minutes and the numbers of questions asked were also 60. In total, 11 candidates were shortlisted for the Interview round.
For the technical questions I studied topics like fluid machinery and IC engines.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: For the HR Interviews I prepared sample answers to some questions like:Tell me about yourself.
What are career goals (both short term and long term)?Before asking me any technical questions the Interviewers asked me to specify my areas of Interest, I said fluid machinery and IC engines. They began by asking me questions from fluid machinery ‘What Is the difference between a reaction turbine and a repulsive turbine?’ I specified some basic difference. Next they asked me to specify the differences between the principles of operation of the two turbines. I managed to answer this question as well. From IC engines they asked me to specify the reason for the occurrence of knocking In IC engines.

Further they ventured out of my areas of Interest and asked me questions like ‘Why Is fatigue test done?’  They also asked me questions from material properties; I bluntly replied that material properties are not in my area of Interest.
They asked some questions from my resume as well. In my resume I had mentioned about some of my projects, these projects were related to railways. They asked me about my experience that I gained while working on these projects. Based on these they also asked me questions on lathe machines; these are the topics that I had studied in the second year of my course.
The company recruited 3 students from mechanical department.
