Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The Company asked to submit resume prior coming to college and 50% ranking was done before their visit only and the rest 50% marks were of the written round. CGPAWhile getting shortlisted for interview, CGPA played a decent role combined with overall profile. Among the 6 selected for interview, I had the second last CGPA and the gap was quite considerable, so I guess not much credit to be given. In my opinion, CGPA helps you to clear a minimum bar or in other words it is a filter used by some companies to reject a candidate rather than used for selecting one.
Tips: Organize your resume and be prepared for cross questioning, do not write anything that you are not confident of.

Round: Test
Experience: There was only one written test which consisted of 15 Aptitude + 30 Technical questions.
Total Questions: 45

Round: HR Interview
Experience: There was only one round with two interviewers in the panel and a combined Technical and HR interview was there.  They were very keen about the summer internship and discussed a lot about it. I had done a Research Intern from Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai and also a project which I undertook there fascinated them. 
The projects that I undertook helped me a lot. All credits to not only my research project but also to a Six Sigma Project (open elective). Nowadays, most of the private companies have some sort of Six Sigma Project going on. So attending this elective with a project gave an extra edge.
Tips: Research about the company before its visit, read its ‘About Us’ section and go to the profiles of its employees.Market yourself according to the kind of requirement they came for. We learn a lot of things in our UG programme but at the time of interview project your side that they require.
 E.g. if a ‘design company’ comes show that you have a zeal for softwares and if a ‘plant job’ kind (RIL) of company comes then show your basic knowledge of unit operations.Make your profile versatile, do online certification courses (coursera, edx), attend conferences and seminars.For Chemical engineering girls, I suggest opting ‘Design companies’ rather than plant jobs. It’s a white collar job and they are not located in remote areas like most of the plants.

General Tips: Research about the company beforehand.Whatever you write on your resume should be correct and you should be able to justify yourselfBe ready for some grilling!
Skills: Communication Skills, Technical Skills, Long term efficiancy
College Name: NIT Jaipur
Funny Moments: There were many light moments during the interview, one I like to quote:
Interviewer: Ok last question! Why we should hire you? What makes you different from others?
Me: Apart from having good academics, which you can find in every student here, I have a basic programming knowledge, with good command on softwares like ChemCAD and MATLAB. Moreover I can also lead and work in team more efficiently. (Giving example of my extracurricular)
Interviewer (laughing): So, you are saying you are a ‘Combo Package’!! In price of one we get an extra benefit.
Me: Yeah! I guess so, thank you.

So that's how I impressed the interviewer.
