College Name: L. D. College of Engineering

Round: Test
Experience: Online test as the first round, split into technical questions and aptitude questions (20+10). There is an essay writing section there too: "Why GE?", "What are your Goals?" etc. This is followed by a technical interview and then a HR interview.
Total Questions: 20+10

Round: Other Interview
Experience: A technical interview and then a HR interview. Interviews in our year were done in a couple of days, the HR interview being over the phone. However, the rounds vary from person to person. Though people from the imaging section came to college this time, they were open to taking us for hardware design too. But if you ask for any other kind of work, be prepared to wait. Your application is forwarded through the company and this takes time, a lot of it. There was a second round of interviews I had to take about 2 months after the time they came to college. And by this time, the results of the other people who had applied were already out. So, patience is critical, although if you have been provided with a point of contact within the company, it is all right for you to bug him/her about the status of your application.
Tips: What you have to prepare for is the HR round. It might seem trivial, but I have had trouble in specifically these kind of questions. They pose a standard set of questions, so prepare well for them. Try to sit down and prepare an honest answer to each of them: it will help a lot. Using tried and tested phrases and giving the standard replies does nothing for your image: you are just another person in the pack. And from what I found out during placement season, the HRinterviewers have more power than your technical interviewers in pushing your application through.

General Tips: Dress well, more importantly dress comfortably. Formals is not absolutely essential unless you are going to an interview with a business company. It is the T&P which imposes this rather. The feeling of euphoria after placements is unmatched, trust me. But the process itself is tiresome, I had a lot of trouble managing my patience when waiting for communication from the company.
Skill Tips: An intuitive grasp of what happens and why it does is crucial. I wouldn't recommend 'preparation' as such, since there is too much to learn if you want to 'prepare'. Some experience handling electronics is time better spent than poring over books: you can also show you have applied what you learn, and that gives you brownie points in the interview. Developing an ability to solve problems in the situation, and guess estimate the solution from what you know is also very helpful.
College Name: NIT SURATHKAL

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: A candidate has to go through 12 rounds of GD. The unique style of group discussion was exhilarating. It reduced the stress and increased my confidence.
Tips: Pay attention to what others say. Do seize the chances to speak. Do use hand gestures when explaining your views. Don't interrupt someone unnecessarily. Show good team spirit. Agree with and support others whose views you like. Present views in an organized manner.
Duration: 72 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The interviewers were highly experienced and progressed through the questionnaire dispassionately without revealing their thoughts about me. They did ask me a few "ice-breaker" questions which helped calm my nerves and then they launched into the technical section. According to my observation, the interviewers were inclined to know how much practical knowledge and experience I had. Their questions were aimed at knowing how passionately I have undertaken my summer trainings and projects.
Tips: I had thoroughly studied about the company and their projects. Keeping in mind that the company stresses on latest technology, I studied about a few related new technologies in the power sector too. My resume was impressive as far as I know, so it helped. The "reference" section in a resume is important too and in case the interviewer recognises the references, it boosts your image. The bottom line is, one needs to prove that he/she is at ease with the job profile and life in the power sector.

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Mind on single word used by you in interview. Because every single word can give hint for creation of new question. Always show less in interview. " Important is ki apna interview bachana hai" . They will try to find mistakes in your answer, but you need not to show weaker area in interview, always show your stronger areas( favourite subjects). Always try to answer questions in a way that uses those words which is known by you. Do not use those words that you don't know while answering any question.
Next important thing you need to understand is that interviewer will ask a series of questions from a particular subject they know, so in starting if you tell interviewer that I am confident on these subjects, then it will be very beneficial for you. They are asking a series of questions because they want to check depth of your knowledge..

Next important thing is that never show that this job is less important for you, like they will ask questions that are you interested in MBA, or further studies? In this case always say No, whatever condition they say like will you do mba if we provide it, say no to it...

And last but very important, write skills in your CV that is required for that profile or company.

Best Wishes,
Ajay Arya
