  • Q1. Draw stress-strain curve for mild steel and explain yield point elongation
  • Ans. 

    Stress-strain curve for mild steel and yield point elongation explained.

    • Mild steel has a linear elastic region followed by a yield point and then plastic deformation.

    • Yield point elongation is the increase in length of the material beyond the yield point.

    • It occurs due to the rearrangement of atoms in the crystal structure of the material.

    • Yield point elongation can affect the ductility and toughness of the material.

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.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The number of questions are way too much to be solved in the given time. I dont exactly remember the number, but it was brain exhausting. Some are very doable and some need a alert mind. The result is immediately displayed after the test is over.

Only 18 people could qualify the aptitude test.
Tips: Try completing all the questions since there is no negative marking and you have the probability of scoring more.
They dont have a total cut off, rather Tech-M has sectional cut off system, so in each section you got to be doing well.
One has to be very attentive to all the questions and answer to the best of your ability. Also time managment needs to be taken care of inorder to complete the test.

Round: Essay Round
Experience: After the aptitude test is qualified , you immediately receive greetings on screen and you are asked to step forward for the next round. In this a topic is given on the spot and you are expected to write an essay within 10 minutes in not more than 1200 words.
Out of 18, 15 students got selected after this essay round.
Tips: One needs to be a creative thinker and that too a fast one, you ought to decide the starting of the essay, its main body and the concluding phrase. start writing fast on a sharp and attentive mind. Try not to commit spelling mistakes since the essay is also software checked.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They always have a question ready as soon as you are done with answering the previous one. I njoyed it and realised that i was actually good at technical knowledge which i thought the other way.
The interview was most about the second year project (may be they had a pre=knowledge about it), they put up certain condition and ask you to deliver the necessary modifications required in your project to satisfy the condition.
Out of 15, 4 got eliminated in the technical round.
Tips: U need to be confident and contended. you cannot hit around the bush, if you dont know any answer say it straight. go prepared with your project knowledge in and out... concepts that follow it, its modification possibilities, purpose of choosing it, etc.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR interview is supposed to be casual interview, but nothing is easy when its TECH-M. They asked any question out of blue. I still njoyed itfor i knew i spoke what i felt and we debated and discussed on certain topics. I took it more as a discussion about revealing my thoughts rather than as an interview, but in a formal sense.
Tips: You be smart and intellegent at the approximate answers that you will be delivering. U must not make self contradictory statements, stick to what you believ and speak the same. Confidence is a vital point again!
ALL THE BEST!!!

General Tips: Time management and damn awesome linguistic skills need to be accomplished.
Be confident and true while the interview process.
Skill Tips: Strong english communication writing as well as verbal is of utmost importance.
Your ability to react to certain situations is what tested in the interviews.
Be contended and confident. Prepare well. use apps for aptitude test prep.

College Name: JNEC Aurangabad
Motivation: It is an multinational company having its chambers along the longitudes and latitudes of the globe. It is one of the top 5 leading It solution companies and have various technical and non-technical sectors under its umbrella. There is a lot of scope of development since you get the projects at a faster rate.
Funny Moments: the qs in the HR intrview that occured was that the interviewer said he was good in physics learnt and spent a lot of time in his 11th and 12th while learning it but now he does not remember any of it. So according to him it was waste if you learn something and dont remember later.
whereas my take was that, when you try to understand and learn a thing you use your brain, so there is certain kind of transformations in the brain in a progressive manner. so even if we forget the learnt part, the brain is trained in someway. like when we do maths, we might not remember formulas or theory but the brain is trained to manipulate in some way.

this debate went for quite a while in a comic way, since the interviewer said he found it amusing the way i said it transforms and all :)
