Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: There were three panelists.As I went in, I was first asked to present my CV. All of them were asking questions together. One was asking technical questions related to chemical engineering while the other two were taking the HR interview. They were all very polite and gentle.At first. I had to tell them my 10th and 12th percentage and my ranks in JEE Main, JEE Advanced and WBJEE. Then I was asked why I chose chemical engineering and what were my areas or subjects of interest. I answered Mass transfer and Chemical Reaction Engineering. They were quite impressed to hear as they said I was the first one who mentioned it. I was mainly asked questions from distillation and gas absorption. All the questions were very basic and required clear understanding of the concepts. I was asked to give a brief summary about my industrial visit to RCF, Mumbai. I was also asked some questions on my ongoing project work at college. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
