First company to visit our college for campus recruitment was IOCL . it visited our college on 14th July and selected around 31 students for interview excluding Reserved list. Out of these 31 students ,12 were from Mechanical Engineering,10 from Electrical Engineering and 8 from Metallurgical Engineering. Interview was scheduled on 15th July. Mechanical guys were first to prove themselves. It started around 8:30 Am. Milan Nag was first to face the interview. Before my turn arrived 8 guys already shown their mettle in front of Interview Board, which includes 4 member including one HR.
I entered the Room after Suraj Bhagat at around 9:15Am. First question was asked by the HR- the most usual question "Tell me about yourself". Next question was related to my Project which I underwent during my summer vacation in Tata Cummins Ltd. Questions were like -Where have you done Your Project? What was the duration of the Projection? What was the Title and Objective of the Project? With these questions, there came the end of HR interview. Now it was the turn for the Technical Interview.
