Duration: 15 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It was a combined interview(Tech+ HR). there were 3 people in the interview jury. All the questions were from my summer internship in the starting. They  asked very basic questions regarding the internship.

And in the last they asked HR questions, basic HR questions. Since my interview was held at very last so they skipped 'tell us about yourself' part. 

Basically i can say it was a chill n cool interview although it was my first interview
Tips: As i said they asked questions from the summer training so just prepare basic questions from your summer training.

Don't take pressure of interview, just assume you are sitting in a class viva. Be confident and don't thing whether  you will be selected or not.

General Tips: In the interview, be honest no need to lie about anything. Answer the questions which you really know otherwise say directly that ' sorry sir i don't know', that's it. Be in touch with your colleagues who have already placed.
Skill Tips: You can easily pass the Test part and GD part. For GD take help from youtube. But you should have basic knowledge of your stream, that will be more than sufficient. At last very important, do your summer training very seriously, no matter from where you are doing it. Just do it honestly.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The applicants were expected to first fill up an application form. In the application form we were asked to mention our achievements (especially in the field of technology or related to our curriculum). Some of the candidates got selected for the interview round on the basis of their CGPA.
Since I was interested in getting recruited in a core company consequently I had built a technical resume. I had earlier worked in the consulting sector in a start-up – I did not include that in my resume. I refrained from adding any phony or funky stuff which people usually tend to do if they have previously worked in a consulting company. I prepared a simple resume.
Tips: It is very essential for a person wanting to join NTPC to have a good knowledge regarding the company. NTPC is one of Asia’s leading power producing companies, consequently gaining information regarding the company isn’t a difficult task.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interviewers started by asking me some HR questions initially. After this they moved over to technical questions. Since the company is mainly involved in power generation, they asked me a lot of questions based on synchronous motors. They asked me to draw the graph and vector diagrams of the synchronous motors. Next they asked me questions about my internships. My internship project was based on distribution transformers; thus they asked me questions pertaining to transformer parts and transformer protection. Some of the questions were:
1) What are the different components of a transformer?
2) How is the protection of a transformer done?
3) How is the synchronous generating protection done?
4) How is the protection of an induction motor done?
5) What are hot spots and how are these detected in a transformer?

The topics taught during the 1st semester of 4th year are particularly important from the safety perspective. I had also done a project on harmonics; correspondingly they asked me questions like:

1) Why do harmonics occur?
2) What are the ways to prevent harmonics?
They also posed a situation that if I were to explain the motors and generators and the difference between them to a layman, how would I do it.

Further they asked some basic questions on relay and inter-conversion between delta and star circuits. They also asked me to specify my opinions on some subjects that are taught to us in the first year like biotechnology whose knowledge acquired in first year proves to be futile in subsequent years.
Tips: For technical questions be prepared for questions on motors, generations, transformers and power system protection.
For the HR question one need not do any specific preparation. However the company did enquire about each and every candidate’s family background. Hence be prepared for similar questions.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: One of my friends had done an internship in the company, from him i got to know about the workplace environment. Also I procured a lot of information regarding the company from some of my seniors who were placed in the company, they also assisted me by providing me with some useful insights regarding the recruitment procedure of the company.
