NTPC Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: First of all they asked me what are all the subjects in which I am perfect.I said them all related to Power Systems.One of the interviewer asked me if I had touch with Power Electronics.I said I had idea,then he asked me about
applications of thyristor and why is it used.Questions asked were: Which is the extensively used motor in general?(in general it is I.M) .Draw the speed torque characteristics of I.M.Define slip,synchronous speed and how does sync speed depends on no of poles?What happens to speed of I.M if load is increased?Why should not be the slip not zero in I.M?(finally asked me entire working principle of I.M).[This is where I impressed him that he said me very good] What are the protections used for a generator?(I listed all the ones i have studied.While i was saying about relay for protection for failure of prime mover of generator ,the interviewer asked me why the protection of generator should be used given that drawing of power from bus bar is allowed,I was little struck here but to my luck the other interviewer interrupted and asked me following questions ]How do you determine direction of rotation of motor using hands?(F.L.H AND F.R.H). What is U.P.S?where is it used?(uninterrupted power supply) Do you know about 'variable frequency drives' ..(actually this from subject which we were taught in 4-1 and still not taught,I said the same to them) What are the various precautions to be taken to connecting transformers in parallel?

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview for eee guys was scheduled on 27th.I had to wait all the first day for my turn..but i was informed that my interview was on next day...even i waited for my friends interview and asked how were the interviewers and what all questions they were asking..My friends told me that they were asked simple questions regarding basics..So, i felt comfortable and slept...I am the 2nd person to be interviewed on the second day..while the first guy was sent inside i was made to sit alone..So, i was little tensed sitting alone..After 15 minutes i was called for the interview ..there were 7 people siting in the panel with the chairman at the center...Starting from the first question i answered the questions with confidence with a supporting reason for my answer...This was why i impressed the panel(explanation of principle of I.M). The thing i need to stress you guys is that i was the 2nd from the last in general category shortlisted...So,i say i say that even you don't have cgpa your selection can be influenced by your performance in interview..Of course having cgpa doesn't hurt..it plays am important role in PSUs.. I was interviewed only for 10 minutes..but everyone was interviewed for minimum of 15-20 minutes..So the duration of interview has nothing to do for your selection...

General Tips: First thing when you are for the interview you should know of yourself..The most general question in any interview is "tell me about yourself"... Be strong with your basics...Most probably you may be asked for favorite subject.So, you need to be it careful while picking up your subject...The thing is you need not answer all the questions but your answers should not mess up with basics...Answer with confidence the questions you know and at the same time be sincere to say "i don't know" when you don't know the answer...Never try to bluff the panel...Rather you can answer in such a way that the interviewer moves to a topic in which you are familiar. If you have have any projects or IT..you should have thorough knowledge of them.Don't panic if you don't have any projects but if you have see that you are well prepared in that...(i did not have any project except IT) Be careful while answering HR questions..they may ask questions like "what would you do if we do not offer you job" It's better to say them that i would try through off campus ...that shows your loyalty.Do not disclose any of your B school plans or GRE plans even they ask for it.say them that you are interested in job and not in further studies...You can refer to net for many HR questions asked in interview... You should have knowledge of the company you are going to attend before hand.That helps you a lot.. For EEE guys you better read PSP and Power Systems thoroughly before going to interview One last thing is that the interviewer asks if you hava any questions..then try to ask some questions rather than saying no questions..ask some relevant questions.. K guys bye...all the best for your future career
