Experience: It had both technical and HR. The panelist had 3 technical guys along with 1 HR.
the first question asked was 'tell me about yourself'.
They then moved on to technical questions.I was first asked what topic I am comfortable with. i told them 2-3 topics of chemical engineering- heat and mass transfer, reaction engineering, general equipments used in plants . They asked questions on the same for the next 10 minutes.
I did not guess answers and i straight away told them when I was not sure of the answer.
After this, general questions related to operations in chemical plants were asked. Some scenarios were given and I was asked to make decisions. i answered them. They then started talking about my resume. After a discussion for about 10 minutes, I knew I was getting the offer.
Tips: Practice HR questions, preferably with a group. Confidence is very important.
Collect a common set of HR questions, write down the points that you want to speak beforehand and draw a basic framework that you can adhere to while answering.

General Tips: Do not procrastinate when it comes to preparing.
a decent knowledge is a must for a core job.
never try to blindly copy what others are doing. Look for your strengths and focus on what you want to achieve.
Form a decent study group. It helps a lot in preparing case studies, guesstimates and GDs. Practice mock interviews.
