Quest Global Consultant Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The CGPA had to be more than 6.5 to get shortlisted.
Tips: As I was interested in Core, I didn't concentrate much on Non-core. But don't neglect any, as we don't know where we get placed. Unless you have a CG>7 or 7.5 at least it is difficult even to get shortlist for the test of core companies.

Round: Test
Duration: 20 minutes

Round: Interview
Experience: The questions in this round were very general.

General Tips: Prepare the question “Tell me about yourself” especially as it is the first question every company asks you when you go for interview. They will get their first impression on you here and the interview will move forward based on your answer.

Placement Preparation:
1. CGPA: It's not really important to get a job but it helps in getting placed soon and to get shortlisted if the selection procedure is based on resume.

2. Aptitude: It is the most important one, unless you are shortlisted in aptitude test, you will not have chance to go for interview. It is the first challenge you will face in selection procedure for most of the companies.

3. Your resume: You have to be very good at explaining and giving reasons for what ever they ask in your resume and also about projects. Since we will not have much non core projects, if you are interested in non core jobs you can write even a simple assignment you did in management or any related non core courses as projects in a very good manner. Sometimes it will be helpful to get shortlisted even if you don't have much CGPA.

4. Basic Technical knowledge: You need not study in depth each and every subject. Just basics are enough- try to search on net for objective type or two mark questions for core subjects in Internet. You will get a good idea about what to study and what you have to concentrate on. Don't waste time on one subject in a bid to master it. That is not required.


You will have principle of economics in 9th sem. It is very very important course for non core. Apart from courses prepare puzzles, case studies. Unless you are 8 pointer, you will not have a chance of getting placed in core companies for the first ten days. If you have 7 you can try for non core in the first 10 days. If you want core job, you can sit for mechanical companies too after 15th like that. This time most of the companies were IT based. So you should at least know C, C++ compulsory to get shortlist in the tests.
Skill Tips: All my intern projects and DDP project were related to product design and involved 3D modelling and prototyping. Apart from the skills mentioned, my experience in designing a new product and the interest I showed when they asked if I have any questions were also paramount selection points.
Ideal time to prepare should be 3-4 months before placement.
