Burohappold Engineering Graduate Engineer Trainee (Get) Interview Questions and Answers

Round: Test
Experience: The test was in MCQ format for both technical and aptitude & general knowledge sections. The difficulty level was average. There were around 5 general knowledge/current affairs questions. About 15 quantitative aptitude questions and 20 technical questions from subjects taught till 6th semester. 11 out of 18 students were shortlisted for the next round.
Tips: Brush up your basics in all the major subjects. Refer quantitative aptitude books and practice every type of sums.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 40

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: All 11 shortlisted students were part of the same GD. We were given 5 topics out of which we had to decide on unanimously. All the topics were general/social in nature and not related to current affairs of the world. 10 mins are given after the selection of the topic to think and jot down the points. The first person to start speaking has to introduce the topic and then start to put his point. There should also be a consensus during the end.
Tips: Use your initial 10 mins well. Write down all the points for both for and against of the topic. You need not necessarily stick to one aspect. Don't speak too much or too less. Just the apt! Give chance to others as well but at the same time don't hesitate and hold yourself back. You can also say "I agree with this but I would also add.." or " I disagree with this point, I feel...". But these statements should be very polite.
Duration: 30 minutes

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: 8 students out of 11 were shortlisted for this round. This round was individual interview by a panel of two of company's officials. They asked questions from different sections to all the students. Some of them were asked application based questions for example is it easier to dry clothes in hot and humid outside than in an air conditioned room, what is the use of psychrometric charts, is cooling tower efficient. In my case the questions were based on my internships. I did my internships from consultancies like Jacobs so they asked my about basic documents used in the those companies and also about my assignments that I did.
Tips: Basics are very important in this round and so is your internships, project(if any). Keep your mind open while answering, workout all the conditions in your mind related to the question.
