XAT - 99.7; Academics - 76/85.8/77.8
Profile: I did my undergrad from NIT Jaipur in Electrical Engineering and graduated in 2021 itself, so I'm a fresher.
Duration: 25 min (2:45 PM – 3:10 PM) I had three interviewers two of them are male and one is female.
M1- From where are you joining for this interview?
Me- Sir currently I am in my home town Alwar, Rajasthan.
M1- Tell me something about important or famous things from your city?
Me- Told, so while telling them I told them about the Bhangarh fort in Alwar and stated that it is the fourth most haunted place in the world and the most haunted place in Asia.
M1- How can you say it is the most haunted place in Asia, on what parameters these rankings were given?
Me- Sir I am not sure about the parameters, perhaps from real-life experiences or observations.
M1- You are an electrical engineer use that knowledge and tell me.
Me- Told them about the variations in the magnetic fields and how there are devices that are used to measure these variations like magnetometers and electromagnetic field detectors.
M1- Okay, so tell me what did you learn in Jaipur apart from engineering?
Me- Told them about chess, diversity, and how living on my own made me more responsible
F1- You have worked in an NGO tell me about that?
Me- Told in detail about it with its motive, area of work, target section, etc.
F1- (Out of the blue she asked me) Proof that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, we tend to take that thing for granted but prove that thing for me using pen and paper.
Me- Proved.
And then she asked me one more maths problem and later asked me to draw a graph for a given equation which I answered after that she look convinced.
M2- You have done one core internship in a Power station tell me what is load factor with its formula?
Me- Answered successfully, I got lucky here as the power system is a very vast topic but I revised this part beforehand.
(I think he was convinced).
M2- What are the business implications of keeping the maximum power output of a plant high as we require lesser power output for most of the time?
Me- I couldn't able to understand the question so I answered what I studied and know about the load factor and tried to articulate my answer around that only.
After long grilling on the same topic.
M2- Can you support your answer with an example?
Me- I mentioned the Texas power cut which happened around that time.
M2- I am done.
F1 asked a few more general questions and was done. I believe I gave satisfactory and honest answers and she looked satisfied.
M1: Okay so we are done. Asked me to leave.
Verdict: Convert.
