Interview Questionnaire 

2 Questions

  • Q1. High Strength Concrete with special reference to Fibre Reinforced Concrete- Small Technicalities such as the strength, ductility etc.
  • Q2. Basic Details and how'd I be an asset to the company

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Fairly easy, those preparing for CAT would ace the first section pretty easily. For the second section, you'd require an ample experience of reading standard comprehension passages. Online reading resources such as the Op-Eds on TIME, The Hindu, NYT would help big time.
Tips: Be composed and conscious of the time. This test is all about pacing ahead of time and hence a hands on practice on all the relevant sections would really help. There are a good amount of resources for both the sections on the web. So be calm and prepare good.
Duration: 120 minutes minutes

Round: Interview
Experience: It was based on what I had mentioned on the pre-interview proforma, which, they usually ask every candidate to fill. A couple of bullets from my resume provided them enough material to frame their questions. Since L&T ECC heavily deals in concreting operations throughout its projects, having studied FRC greatly helped my case. The experience during my internship also helped me to elaborate my experience. They asked some basic questions pertinent to the grade of the concrete, cement employed and the ductility achieved and some general questions such as what are its advantages over normal concrete and how would it help me in contributing positively to their company.
Tips: Nothing much! Just prepare your resume bullet points in and out. Do not add anything new on the proforma. You never know that it might just go against what you say in the interview. People usually flounder in interview because they try to condense a lot of information in a short span of time. Instead just try to be concise and explicit in you writing so that you can elaborate your experience exactly the way you may want to elaborate in the interview. Strictly adhere to the lines mentioned in the proforma.

Round: Interview
Experience: Standard replies did good for me. Just try to mention all the positives in your resume. This is where you will be, more often than not, given opportunity to elaborate on your extracurricular activities and responsibilities. L&T especially with their MT profilers would always want a diversified group who can carry out both Management and Engineering with ease.
Tips: Nothing much. If you survived till here you are highly likely to get through this as well. All the best!

General Tips: Stay Calm. You may not get through companies which your counterparts in Computer Science or other branches would. But if you keep fretting over your past you'd probably ruin your present and it will drastically affect your future. Don't judge yourself by the package you get in the starting. Companies like L&T usually ground their freshies but the longer you stay the more you are of value to the Company. Ask anyone who's been around in the ECC for more than 10 years and they'd tell you the rest. Stay used to of being awake till the wee hours of the morning (for placements at least) as I was not. It did hamper my chances on the first night of the placement. (which is an entirely different experience to share) :P
Skill Tips: Just be prepared with all the tests that you performed in your Concrete/Materials Laboratory. Concrete Mixers, Bleeding prevention mechanisms etc.
Skills: Practical Expertise with your laboratories
College Name: IIT Guwahati
Motivation: L&T ECC is known as one of the most gritty companies and provides an avenue for being a party to challenging projects. The work, its type, and its impact is what drove me personally to apply to it.
Funny Moments: I don't know if it sounds funny, but after sitting in a big shot finance company on day zero at 1 am in the night, and finally succumbing in round 3, it was almost a draught of 7 days before this opportunity came. And interestingly I had not applied for any other company. So, in the hindsight, I actually find myself lucky enough to have got through. Had this gone then.... :D
