Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 50

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Average level of difficulty.
Tips: Study mechanical and physical metallurgy as well as iron and steel making properly.
Duration: 60 minutes
Total Questions: 50

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: There were 12 candidates in my GD group including me so you need to speak enough over the topic and you need to show some good GD atticates which will work in your favour.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: My PI consisted many ups and downs I.e. Silence of half an hour and then continuous speaking of about 20 min. As it was a kind of group interview but the questions were asked to individual and questions were not passed to the other candidate I.e. It was 3(HR) on 1 interview but two other candidates were also listening your interview.
Tips: My interview was based only on my industrial project and nothing else. Just know your project very well do it very seriously so that you are answerable to each and every question that will be bombarded over you!!!
And discover your passion till fourth year and accordingly choose the company. Do not experiment with your life and if confused talk to your seniors.

General Tips: The most important thing which matters is how passionate and how eager you are to work with them. Also most important is positive attitude towards every problem.
Skill Tips: If you ask any senior about cpi and if he says that it doesn't matter then he is definitely misguiding you!!!! Weightage of cpi and your technical is equal. If he says make your technical sound and you will be selected then it happens very rarely at least in our college. They want to see your performance in your academic session. They want to see how consistant you will be in their company and how serious you are towards your work and also towards your career. Less cpi even if you are constant through out, tells them that you will not grow after some point of time so they want growing and consistently growing performance which help them in their company. And backlog history matters more then your cpi because companies are nowadays asking for no backlog history so if you are not eligible for company then to whom you will show your pointers???
Skills: CGPA, Eagerness to work, Positive attitude
