I had done a project on heat exchanger design and I had to answer a lot of questions about it.First they asked me about myself and my family background. After that they had questions about my training in IOCL Vadodara. Then they inquired about my favourite subjects to which I answered - RAC, Thermodynamics, Material science. After that, they had some elementary questions like iron carbon phase diagram, stress strain curve, first law, second law of thermodynamics, VCRC system. After this I was a given a situation regarding a pump compressor and was quizzed on the same. I answered all these questions correctly :D
Tips: During the training period you should prepare 2-3 subjects thoroughly so that you don’t have to face any problems during the interview.

General Tips: Do the best you can.Study the subjects and understand the concepts and hopefully you people can clear the interviews.
