Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Duration: 60 minutes minutes

Round: Test
Duration: 30 minutes minutes

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The shortlist came only 3-4 hrs before the commencement of interviews so I didn’t have enough time to prepare anything extra after the list was forwarded.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviewee had a cross-sectional diagram of a fuel injector and there was a graph plotted versus time against it, showing the variation of fuel pressure at 2 places, positions of movable parts in the plug, etc based on which he asked me to tell how the fuel injector worked. He later also asked me force analysis of a movable rod in the injector. Initially, he was mainly asking me the questions related to engines though I told him that my interest area is FEM and simulations. Once my interview was over and I moved out, after 2-3 minutes he again called me back and this time he asked me technical questions related to my interest area only. I answered almost all questions related to engines correctly, so you need to be prepared to answer questions which are not your interest area. I failed to answer a question about variation of stresses over the length of a bended circular beam and I also said that I am not good at fluid mechanics when he asked me about it.


General Tips: Do’s :
1) Revise all courses well beforehand.
2) Get your resumes reviewed by others or at least review it yourself multiple times and ensure that there are at least no spelling or grammatical mistakes.
3) Be prepared to answer any questions related to any software/concept/mechanism mentioned in your resume.
4) Be prepared to answer questions like Tell me about yourself, why this company, why should we choose you/what sets you apart compared to others etc.
5) Ask seniors what all to prepare for specific companies you are targeting.

Don’ts :
1) Don’t target everything that comes. If you don’t get specific to what kind of job you want you may end up not being prepared for either of them.
2) Don’t claim software's or concepts that you don’t know well or haven’t contributed anything to in your resume.
3) Don’t by heart answers to obvious questions word to word. Just make up the points and frame it on spot.
4) Don’t think that because of poor CPI you don’t have any chance. Preparation matters a lot. People with low CPI but good preparation get placed on day 1.
