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.
