Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I was selected for Internship Role at Eaton from Mechanical Engineering Department at IIT Madras.
Resume Shortlist was done based on top 10 CGPA for the desired role. They had separate shortlists for Mechanical Role (Engineering Design + Mechanical Engineering) and Electrical Role.
Tips: Usually a CGPA of above 8.6-8.7 keeps you on the safer side although students with CGPA of 7.5-8 were shortlisted for Electrical Role as the company came very late into the semester and most of the electrical students got interns.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview started off by briefing about my projects and internship. Then he asked few questions about the courses that I had mentioned. This was following by few common questions like what do you want to do in future, will you join Eaton after graduation and which department do you want to work at Eaton.
Then unexpectedly , he asked me about why did I dancing in the college ( I mentioned about it in the extra-curricular) which put me in the front seat and the reason impressed him.
Tips: Be thorough with your resume and be confident in what you are speaking.
Do not stop your flow which gives the interviewer a chance to grill you. Hence, even if you give wrong answers to the questions, at the end of the day, it is the healthy conversation that stays with him.
Give them a reason that you will be staying in the company.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Frankly, HR interview wasn't the best of the interviews I had till now. I got grilled at each and every answer that I gave.
The interview started off well with discussions about where I lived, about my family and what all places did I visit (I told him I like travelling. Then he moved on to serious questioning.
Since, I am not uncertain about my future, I came out blank for Question 2. I made up an answer then and there itself which didn't impress him. However, upon telling him that I would prefer doing managerial roles in the future, he kept on asking me whether I would pursue MBA or not.
To test my authenticity, he asked me the first part of Question 4. I remained puzzled after hearing this and instead, told him about the current affairs.
As I was about to leave, he asked me the last question, where I told him about what my interests are as of now which I want to pursue later in my career and gave him the reason for my uncertainity in the plans about my future.
Tips: I think my credentials, Resume and HONESTY saved the day.
The first question is common for all, hence tell him something that is unusual and is only specific for you.
Be EXTREMELY sure about why you are applying for a core industry in the future. Even if you are not, be prepared with why you want to pursue a job in the technical field. If you have a different answer to that, be ready with the counter questions.
It may happen that the interview won't proceed as expected and you may tend to fumble in between. Be confident and honest with your answers and don't change in between.

Skill Tips: Be prepared for the courses that you mention in your resume
Skills: Thinking Under Pressure, Honesty, Communication, Technical Skill And Speaking Skill, Core Mechanical Concepts
Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras
Funny Moments: I told them in my tech interview that dancing helped me reduce weight. He couldn't believe his eyes when I told him that I weighed 90 kg once :p
I was handling Eaton as part of the technical festival of my college.
Hence, my HR interview started like- " No we aren't here to discuss Shaastra ( annual tech fest of IIT Madras)"

I applied via Approached by Company and was interviewed in Jul 2024. There was 1 interview round.

Round 1 - One-on-one 

(4 Questions)

  • Q1. What will you do if your senior doesn’t tell you technical facts of project, management wants you to perform from day 1.
  • Q2. What will you do if 70% of work given to you is a documentation work for next 2 years?
  • Ans. 

    I would prioritize and efficiently manage the documentation work while also finding ways to automate or streamline the process.

    • Prioritize tasks based on importance and deadlines

    • Look for opportunities to automate or streamline documentation processes

    • Delegate tasks if possible to ensure efficiency

    • Maintain clear communication with team members and stakeholders

    • Seek feedback and continuously improve documentation quality

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Interviewer was rude and peculiar in his behaviour
  • Q4. Interviewer (Pradeep Biradar) did not had the intention for recruitment. He was demoralising about the position and the company.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I was interviewed with Eaton by Pradeep Birader. He introduced himself as some manager. Twice interview was postponed. Later in the interview Mr. Pradeep Biradar started showing his true colour with absolutely absurd questions.

What happens if someone senior in the company doesn’t share technical facts, what will you do??? Management wants you to deliver from first day! All such absurd and nonsense question.

Then he switched his question, what if 70% documentation work given to you for next 2 years, what will you do?
Obviously management should know this better!


All kind of baseless and nonsense questions from the interviewer. Do not know authenticity and credibility of these person. As if he is coming from a roadside slum.

My answer was clear, if someone not willing to share technical details of project than leadership should take care of this. If 70% of documentation work is there, you must hire a technical writer.

Then clearly I showed my disinterest for this position!

This is how some incompetent and incredible people spoils good positions and working culture of good companies.
