Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: There were 4 sections related to quant, logical, verbal and technical. The technical part was above par especially if you are mining engineer as most of the question in technical section will be based on course of 6th & 7th semester while company visits after 5th semester.
Tips: The part of aptitude and logical is usually very simple and most of the people easily scores in these sections. As I said technical is tough. So, the main difference is due to marks you get in the verbal ability part.
Do LOD-1 of Arun Sharma and questions from Indiabix.com which will be sufficient for aptitude part. For technical, you can refer some basic notes of u/g coal, ventilation and mine legislation (for mining engineering)
Duration: 120 minutes
Total Questions: 95

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: The GD was little bit unusual as they allowed every one to put forward their points one by one and then counter the points of other if you want. It may depend on the HR guy visiting the campus.
Tips: For GD, just focus on the basics like don't be too dominant, open yourself to points put by other, do not right away take a single side in case of GD with debatable topic.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It was the 3rd & the last round the Personal Interview. They may have a look at the CV (as was case with me). Usually kept the questions strictly related to the technical and management aspects of mining especially focuses on your projects and papers. They also posed some genuine and general HR questions towards the end of the interview. The main focus in HR question is to find out that will you be adaptable to the remote location of the job.
Tips: Focus on your CV. Never put a false point in it. Be yourself and stay focused in whichever way you can. For me, I listen to music in any such situation and that's what I was doing half an hour before interview. Be dressed up properly as it gives you a lot of confidence boost. Prepare for some basic HR question. Make sure that you put the point where you want interviewer to focus on in the introduction in the best way possible so that interview can take a better and your preferred pathway.

General Tips: Be focused on your goals especially short-term. If you want to prepare for CAT then I would say you should say NO to internship. In case of MS, you can surely grab it. Be sure about this at the start of the 5th semester. Interact with your seniors and colleagues and based on your interest make a suitable decision for yourself.
In case you want the job in core sector then start improving the technical knowledge. Give importance to your B.Tech. project. Adapt yourself to the condition that you will get a remote location if you are a mining engineer
Skill Tips: Start focusing towards building skills from the 5th sem. Getting an intern at any company will help you improve your technical skills. Prepare for aptitude skills as a leisure activity. Form a serious group who are ready to do a GD daily. Get as much technical knowledge as you can and keep your concepts clear. Also maintain a decent GPA as the company usually prefers people with higher grades.
Skills: Technical Questions, Group Discussion Skills, Aptitude
College Name: Indian School of Mines
Motivation: I was not that sure at that time between doing MBA or to remain in the core sector, so for me there was no motivation. I was just going with the flow and BAMM!! got intern. Then i started taking real interest in the technical aspects.
PLEASE DON'T BE LIKE ME!!!
Funny Moments: During interview, I addressed my father working as Govt. Servant instead of employee. The HR wrote that point and asked me about it later after all the technical question. I was left embarrassed and giving lame excuse that it is the word we use in day-to-day language and the whole panel was laughing on me..:P
Thank GOD!! it didn't create too much negative impact

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: aptitude + chemistry (12 std level)

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Main focus on project .Checked if you know the basic ideas on project topic.Was asked whats the difference between RnD in academics and Industry. Company wanted to know if he will stay with JSW for a longer period or go back to academics. This question was repeated in different ways.Questions about steel and its alloying elements were asked. Second round of interview with Higher authorities was mostly HR oriented.

Skill Tips: CG matters
College Name: IIT MADRAS

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: PPO- I was selected for intern after my third year. There was no cut- off for written test. So almost whole mechanical branch was present there. 120 questions were there; 30 apti and 90 tech. Apti were ok type, I rate the toughness level 7/10. But the technical part was pretty tough.
Total Questions: 120

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Out of around 110 students, 10 were shorlisted for the interview

General Tips: Interview was purely technical, so I would suggest STUDY, nothing else will help. HR questions were pretty simple and I don't think they were serious about HR part. Well I was told that company has excellent policy of awarding PPOs, I was pretty happy with that.
Skill Tips: Well, I was not at all prepared. Anyways, the technical part they asked, it wouldn't have helped much even if I studied.More weightage was from thermodynamics, MOM, SOM and metal cutting.
