Insights on the interview process

Interviews were focused on the basics of your discipline (Mechanical Engineering in my case) and your projects/internship work. I was asked about the basics of thermodynamics and theory of machines. I had worked as an operations intern at Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, so I was questioned on the same and also on manufacturing in general. I had worked at Siemens on the digital twin technology and was grilled on that.

Sample Interview Questions?

Revise your basics and be well prepared with your resume. Do not cut others while they are speaking in GDs and speak up only when you get a chance. Be aware of the latest technology around you.
