Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: A topic , generally a most common one like "Role of Engineers in development of India" is given and students have
to discuss about the same for about ten minutes. During GD, stress is more laid on the quality of points that you
come up with and not just blah blah .. you speak of.Mostly no elimination will be done from GD. If at all any elimination, its just if don't even open your mouth. The score of GD along with the score in interviews is used for final selection of candidates . So I suggest to take each and every part of the selection process serious.
Duration: 10 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The technical interview of NLC is the most toughest interview I had ever attended in my life.Interviewer was
expecting a lot from NITians . The questions were all practical industry defined & application oriented and no mug
up from text books/notes works out there.Mostly you will be given a chance to tell your favorite subject , for which
I answered POWER SYSTEMS. But since almost every one chose the same, interview asked me to choose any other
subjects.I said I am comfortable with CONTROL SYSTEMS, POWER SYSTEM PROTECTION , POWER SYSTEM OPERATION & CONTROL, HVDC & FACTS , DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS ,POWER QUALITY except ELECTRICAL
MACHINES as I am zero in that:)

Round: HR Interview
Experience: I answered that I just apply only to companies of my interest (core power sector companies).

College Name: NIT WARANGAL
