Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The company directly shortlisted the top 10 students from our class for the interview round.
Tips: Try to maintain a decent CGPA. It is important.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I had a good technical interview. I was able to answer most of the questions. There were also a few questions I did not know the answers to and I told them that. They asked me to draw and explain a stress-strain curves and also write the steelmaking reactions. There was also a discussion on my summer internship project and my final year project, which I explained properly. They enquired about our department facilities and lab courses.
Tips: PI rounds can be very unpredictable and one can never be too prepared.

For technical interviews, prepare at least 2 subjects thoroughly. Make sure that these subjects concern the company for which you appearing. Never bluff! If you do not know an answer; you can politely say that you don’t. Do not be nervous; the questions are usually very fundamental.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR questions were very common and easy. I had answers prepared for each of them. The HR interviewers seemed much more friendlier than the technical interviewers.They asked me about my childhood and my family background. They made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. It was part of the reason why I had a very good HR interview compared to my technical one.
Tips: The most common and the first HR question you are asked is “Introduce yourself.” Prepare a strong but brief answer for this. Interviewers are also very critical of your actions and reactions during an interview. Always sit straight and maintain eye-contact with the interviewers. Smile through the interview and don not let them know that you are nervous. Also avoid making gestures with your hands and sit still. Most importantly, read everything about the company, its work culture, its projects, partners and products.

General Tips: Do not be afraid to take up new challenges. Your every experience, good or bad, will teach you something new and prepare you to face even the worst adversity. Get diligently involved in extra-curricular activities, but at the same time do not neglect your career. Many may tell you that your CGPA does not matter but in reality it does. Try to explore new fields. You don’t have to succeed but experience it.
Skills: Fundamental Concepts of the branch, Good communication skills, Fluency in English
College Name: NIT ROURKELA
Motivation: I was interested in a core job and was really excited when I learnt that JCAPCPL is a joint venture of 2 of the largest steel producing corporations: Tata Steel and Nippon Steel.
