Round 3 - One-on-one 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Experience related questions based on resume

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: My resume was mostly civil core with 2 core internships (one on designing & analysis and other on construction processes) and 4 core projects (mostly related to concrete). I had also mentioned about the designing softwares I had learnt in my internship and as a course.
Tips: Write each point in your resume properly depicting your core skills. Write about the learning outcomes from the projects and internships using easily understandable terms.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I simply followed the tips mentioned below.
Tips: There were 7 candidates in my GD group. Just grab opportunities to speak in between. Its great if you start or summarize or both. Try to put forward some different perspective/point if possible, rather than just agreeing or disagreeing with others and stand up to it. Eye contact is one important thing and the other is to address (turn head towards them) most of the people in your group while speaking. When someone speaks, your job is to listen while looking at them.
Duration: 10 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I had both HR and technical interviews at the same time in parallel. HR and Tech guy asked questions almost alternatively. It was chill, went on for 35 mins. Just to give you an idea, some of the questions were like, Define yourself in one word; Why should we visit your home city; Is Bandra-Worly sealink serving its purpose etc. They asked me about my projects and internships as well.
Tips: Eye contact is very important, it makes you look confident at least, if you aren't.
Don't be in a hurry to speak. Listen patiently and then you may take few seconds to frame your answer and then deliver. Speak only what you know about, as questions may escalate on something new which you have mentioned. And RELAX, as they are pretty chilled out.

College Name: IIT BOMBAY
Motivation: My friends have provided great feedback of the company. The SP group in itself is also pretty big in India.

Duration: 15-20 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Core questions from resume and general questions like Density of concrete.

Core- CG is the most important. Choose electives and projects according to your preferred sector. Prepare puzzles. Guesstimate –Create situations and work with groups. Improve Speaking skills,

Round: Group Discussion

As these topics are well knows and are most frequently asked GD topics, you should be aware of what IQ and EQ stands for, its okay if you choose to defend any one of them, the main trick is you should be able to express your points.
GD was initiated by me by giving a brief description about the topics and welcoming every one on the dice to share their views, I was very particular at not selecting any side yet, my focus was just to highlight myself by starting the topic and than collecting facts from other.
Later on I kept my points strongly with facts and examples and also made others believe at my point(Ex: IQ is more a first impression through which you can attract someone but EQ is for a longer term helps you build a long time relation).

Following on I also encouraged others who were less participating, showing how team managing skill and at the end I wide up the GD by giving the final thoughts.
Tips: Mantra For GD

Finish the discussion by giving the final thoughts.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The whole process of TTL lasted for 3 days, the final day of Personal Interview 10 were selected from 120 students who appeared for the test. 4 recruiters were present and the interview took place in 2 rooms, five candidates each.

Each interview lasted for nearly 30 min or more, the recruiters were very friendly but had keen eyes on errors or any lies/false information provided during the interview.

The interview process and question varied a bit as per the students as every student was from different stream, some BBA, B-tech, Hotel Management.

For B-tech students it was a bit tough as the recruiters were not so technically sound, which made hard for B-tech students to impress the recruiters as they too had only few questions for them.
Tips: Few points:
Points for grooming and hygiene.
No false data as the people sitting on the other side of the desk are more experienced and can easily differentiate the change in expression.
To the point answers with instances that occurred with you this years.
Keep it interactive ask more question(especially for B-tech)
Keep a smiling face.

Most Important: These interviews are just for measuring your skills people not selected should not be dishearten as there are many more to come.
Single interview cannot decide your future.

Skills: Knowledge About Industries, Knowledge About The Company, Subject Knowledge, Attention To Detail, Attitude, How Well You Can Handle Stress
