- Q1. What are the factors you would consider when building a plant? (Case Type- General business acumen)
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Recommended Approach
Broke it into financial and non-financial and said ROI seems to be the best metric in financial. Went ahead after getting her buy-in and looked at various cost components in detail like labor, overheads etc. Throughout the interview, I was asked to go deeper and even when I was asked to move horizontally to other cost components, there was no closure of an issue. In the end, was just asked to summarize whatever we had done so far with 2 concluding statements
PI questions
Totally work and CV related cross questioning Why did you do this ELP and what did you learn Why SMC now This was a kind of stress interview where questions would start before I finished my answer. The same tone carried on in the case where scoping questions were frowned upon
Tips: What was good: Cool under pressure, confident What could be better: Take the hint if the interviewer is not giving data and lay out a structure and then ask questions explaining their relevance

- Q2. Weakness in professional life
- Ans.
My weakness is sometimes taking on too much work and struggling to delegate tasks effectively.
Difficulty delegating tasks
Tendency to take on too much work
Working on improving time management skills
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: They intimated as aptitude but it included Verbal, Quants and basics of programming and data structures & algorithm.
Round: Technical interview round 1
Experience: In this round I was asked about flight mechanics & dynamics and controls’ by giving several conditions of practical importance, some part of engine structures and thermal science, my earlier projects and questions on that, some questions from the internship’s work and M.Tech thesis work. Very fundamental as well as complex questions were asked while explaining about the projects and thesis work.
Round: technical interview round 2
Experience: I was sent to the panel interviewing for mechanical students and there I was asked questions from various subjects as well as for various conditions given on spot. Including both the technical interviews, I was asked questions from around 9-10 subjects of mechanical engineering. Apart from the questions from the course work, half of the interview was focused on the projects that I did earlier. I was asked to explain about the projects and give good insights of my contributions in that and accordingly I was asked questions from that as well. Later part of the technical round was focused for my thesis work. They started asking about the motivation behind the topic of the thesis and the technical platform set so far for the same. Concluding questions were from the company’s work and how I would be able to relate my expertise and thesis work for their benefit.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: HR round was more or less usual. Description about me and weaknesses in professional life were asked. The tricky one was one particular question about joining Honeywell and at the end of my answer, I was asked to compare Honeywell and the stalwarts of aerospace industry on my answer’s ground.
General Tips: Revise the course works, some part of the projects, be focused for profiles and prepare accordingly. Prior knowledge about companies work and the profile helps a lot. Sound knowledge of thesis work, approach and the applications, motivation behind the topic and the work completed till the placement season starts should clearly be checked. If you are not good at programming and DS & algo then revise the basics of these (helps for aptitude). Be mentally prepared for multiple rounds of technical interviews. Shape yourself according to the profile and surf through the company’s site beforehand.
Get some suggestions and feedback from seniors (specifically, M.tech students should talk to seniors, fellow students and lab mates who have been in industries) for technical interviews. Focus on your approach towards the problem for the worst case.
During technical interview, don’t try to brag about the topic that you are not sure about. They sometimes want to test your approach and attitude for the problem given to you (which will be out of your comfort zone) rather than the accuracy of the answer. Since verbal was also the part of aptitude, don’t forget to look that during your preparation.
