Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The written round consisted of 200 questions in 2 hours
1> Technical section (100 questions)
2> Numerical aptitude (25 questions)
3> Logical Reasoning (25 questions)
4> General Awareness (25 questions)
5> English (25 questions)

The level of difficulty of the technical section was quite easy. Most of the questions were for checking the overall concepts and none of them included lengthy calculations. Though time is a factor as you have to solve 100 questions in about 1 hour.
One interesting fact about the exam was that both unanswered questions and wrongly answered questions would cost you negative 1/4th marks and thus it is better to attempt all questions. Some of the questions were from ‘uncommon’ sections like Polymer processing, materials of construction etc.


The mathematical aptitude and logical reasoning questions were very easy and practicing R.S Agarwall level questions would be sufficient. Unlike other PSU exams like ONGC, EIL etc., the general awareness section of SAIL’s exam consisted mostly of contemporary ‘hot topics’ and current affairs rather than generic topics like history, geography.
Tips: For the Technical section I would recommend solving :
1> Chemical engineering objective questions by Ram Prasad
2> Indiabix.com
3> 1 marks questions from previous year GATE papers.

I would recommend the following books for the general awareness sections
1> Lucent’s General Knowledge
2> Monthly current affairs magazines like Pratiyogita Darpan, Competition success etc.
Duration: 120 minutes
Total Questions: 200

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Around 40 people were selected for the GD-PI round for a total of 11 general seats in chemical engineering. Among all the PSU’s, the GD round of SAIL was the most interesting and unique. The GD round itself consisted of 3 separate rounds which continued for about 2 hours.
There were about 10 people in each group and about 5 judges.

Round 1
A general topic was given to the group for discussion. The discussion continued for 20 minutes and the group was not directed to present a final conclusion.
The judges scored each participant on the basis of how they were able to communicate and present their point of view

Round 2
10 qualities like honesty, integrity, knowledge etc. were listed and the group was given a task to order the qualities on the basis of which is most requisite of a politician. Initially each individual had to give his order and submit it to the judges and then the topic would be up for discussion for a period of about 20 minutes. At the end of the discussion, the group was asked to present a final conclusive order.
The judges scored each individual on the basis of
1> How well he was able to communicate his point of view
2> Whether the final order varied from the order that he had submitted initially. That is whether he was able to justify his point of view and persuade others or else he was himself swayed by others in the discussion.

Round 3
The group was presented with a case study. The scenario was that the CEO of a bank was going to retire and his replacement was to be selected out of 5 probable candidates. The profile of the bank and its future path was given to us and also the profiles of the 5 candidates in a 5-6 pages long document. Each individual was given 20 minutes to read the document and present his choice. The topic was then open for discussion for about 20 minutes. At the end of the discussion, the group was asked to come to a final conclusion.
The judges graded each candidate on the basis of
1> How well was he able to communicate his point of view
2> Whether he had read the case study in detail and was clear about his choice.
3> Whether he was able to justify his choice to the other members of the group.
Tips: The judges graded each candidate on the basis of
1> How well was he able to communicate his point of view
2> Whether he had read the case study in detail and was clear about his choice.
3> Whether he was able to justify his choice to the other members of the group.
Duration: 120 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The technical interview was of very short duration of about 15 minutes and wasnt tough either. The interviewer might try to confuse you a bit.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR questions were mostly directed towards the extracurricular activities that I had done during college

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: CGPA
Experience: No written round, shortlisted on CGPA basis (more than 7.5 CGPE upto 7th sem).

Round: Group Discussion
Tips: Have knowledge about the latest political and economic issues as it is topic of almost GD’s.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Two Rounds of interview
1st Round interview was purely technical
 A Group of 6 jury member conducted the round. Level of question was high when compared with other companies, mostly questions were application based from Fluid mechanics, Hydraulic machines, Manufacturing, Material science & I. C. Engine.
2nd Round interview was H R based
Questions were easy but a little bit tricky.
I think projects undertaken was my strongest zone, I have done 15 projects in my B.Tech and I was a part of many technical and cultural activities in the college fest. With having one of the heaviest CV I presented my technical, managerial, leadership and creative skills in front of the jury. They asked me to explain one of the case study that I have presented in Cairn Ace on “making India energy self-sufficient by 2030” & I was able to grasp their attention with my points.
The interview was really fantastic, interviewers were highly knowledgeable, experienced and they went into the depth of each subject. It is not only the right answer that matters but how confidently you present your answer.
Tips: I suggest to the viewers to take summer training seriously as it matters in most of the companies.You should clearly know what your weaknesses are and present them straight forward if interviewer ask but prepare an answer what efforts you have made or making to improve them.
NO one is prefect but your efforts really make a difference.

General Tips: 1. I will suggest them to focus on all round development rather than just confining to a high CGPA.
2. You should clearly know what your weaknesses are and present them straight forward if interviewer ask but prepare an answer what efforts you have made or making to improve them.
NO one is prefect but your efforts really make a difference.
3. Have knowledge about the latest political and economic issues as it is topic of almost GD’s.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: No need to prepare for the GD but Electrical students would have to prepare a lot for any PSU that
visits.
Tips: In each branch, 30-40 people were shortlisted for the GD on the basis of their resumes (basically according to pointer and reservation).And around 10-12 people got through to the interview in each branch (No. of interviewers 3-4).

General Tips: It is assumed that PSUs generally look for the highest pointers and take fixed no. of students based on categories (Gen/OBC/SC/ST). But the results were disappointing for EEE students.
Please concentrate and study core electrical subjects.
College Name: NIT SURATHKAL

I was interviewed before May 2021.

Round 1 - GATE 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Candidates were shortlisted based on their GATE score
Round 2 - Group Discussion 

Most interesting round consists of 3 segments. GD, GT and Case study of 1.5hr duration. A Non-elimination round i.e. the marks will be counted along with other marks including personal interview. You will be given enough time to participate and put your views. Unlike many typical GDs you won't get special marks for initiating the topic and shouting loudly. Just go with one direction according to the group to reach the consensus, though there will no marks for reaching the consensus but it will impress the panel if your group reach the consensus with a logical and valid way.

Round 3 - One-on-one 

(1 Question)
