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.
Skills: Summer training

Interview Preparation Tips

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.
