    Resume shortlisting for the first online test
    eliminatory

    Around 130 candidates reportedly shortlisted for the first OA.

  2. 2

    Online test

    OA 1: aptitude plus branch-specific core
    PodAI (proctored)60 min60 questionsonlinemixedeliminatory
    SectionQsTopics
    Aptitude-verbal reasoning, grammar and sentence correction, sentence ordering, data interpretation, patterns, basic maths
    Core (branch-specific)-electrical machines, power systems, basic electronics, control systems, vibrations, statics and dynamics, manufacturing, thermodynamics, fluids, heat transfer, separation processes

    aptitude · branch core subjects

    60 questions in 1 hour stated by one account. Calculators allowed. Negative marking unknown; candidates attempted everything. Aptitude easy-to-medium; core easy for electrical but tough for mechanical. Shortlisting for OA 2 reportedly on OA 1 performance, possibly accuracy.

    5 to 10 min; no GD this year. Mostly HR, but a chemical engineering candidate got only technical, application-based chemistry questions and no HR questions.

Advice from candidates

72 pieces of advice, in their own words. Names removed.

  • Try to solve aptitude questions before moving to the core part.

    Round 1 · 2023-24

  • To prepare for this round give lot of mock tests because there are lot of questions to be completed in given time. This will help in improving the speed. Review the concepts of algebra, basic statistics, compound interest, simple interest and mixtures to prepare for this round.

    Round 2 · 2023-24

  • Include core projects in your resume like the ES 105 lab project you might have done. Apparently the interviewer does not see digital systems/ Comparch as an electrical core and there is no point in arguing about that when the Interview is going on.

    Round 3 · 2023-24

  • Know about the company and show your interest in the company and tell about your projects accordingly.
