Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The topic was Globalization boon or curse..a boon or curse for the developing countries. I started by saying as to what Globalization actually is and started giving examples as to how has its effect on the developing countries. Regarding India I said about the nuclear deal and its consequences. Being abreast with the latest happenings sailed me through GD. One must enter into a GD atleast 4-5 times to come under the eyes of the concerned panel.And must also allow other members to share their views.Good communication skills mixed with good subjectual knowledge makes one sail through this round as well. I entered into a GD 6 times and showed leadership skills by allowing other members of the group to tell their views. I compared both the good as well as the bad aspects of globalization and at last concluded that it depends on how to is used for the development of a developing country .

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interview panel asked me about my favorite subject. As Vedanta is a mining major company, i told them my favorite subject to be extractive metallurgy as i had a course of 4 credits named UPEM(Unit Processes in Extractive Metallurgy) and corrosion. They asked me to name all the types of corrosion which i told them . Then they asked me the whole process of aluminium extraction.. (Aluminium , zinc and copper extraction must be studied before going into the interview of this company), I told them this also. that was how mine technical interview went through.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: In HR the 1st obvious question was to tell them about myself.Then they asked me about my hobbies, i told playing soccer as i play in my department soccer team.Then i told them that i listen to old hindi melodies.HR in total was simple they i think just tested as to whether the candidate can freely express himself or not. They also asked me in the last to ask any questions to them . They themselves told me that my take away home salary for the 1st 6 months shall be 23k per month. I asked about the growth opportunities then they told me that its purely performance oriented .

Skill Tips: As a metallurgist I shall say its the number company in mining sector and you must take this very seriously, but the seriousness should not affect your performance. A CORE company doesn't offer you better emoluments than Vedanta and you must brush through your AL, CU and zinc extraction in full detail. For GD just be aware on the latest happenings and please please open your mouth during GD if you want to clear this round , because once you clear this round and have revised things well i don't think that you shall not be able to make through this mining major company. Lastly i wish you all the best for this company. Cheers!!
