I entered the room, said good afternoon sir,mam. They asked to be seated. Started with the form I filled. Wrote about my college project. Huge discussion over that, detailed. Then, intership, training in detail. I had done a good project of robot and represented in NASA,USA. So, they asked to make robot on white board with marker. All were very interestingly listioning. Then came my job experience at TATA MOTORS, why left job, goid pay, convince us, what is guarantee u will not leave Iocl.. I answered them, I told I didnt find any scope to learn, diversity was missing their, here we have different options in Iocl. They told, we will put you to count cylinders for 2 years, I told, no issue 3rd year I will get something new..
Further, some tech questions related to RDBMS, compiler, machine language..
Now, they asked “where do you find yourself to be in the company?” I told that I had to be self confident so that I can manage man,machine,materials on my own.
Further, some questions about home, family, hobby. They were heavily impressed and said, we had not found such an interesting and talented candidate. Actually, they also got to know that i am BIT mesra University Gold medalist in Electrical.
That’s all.
I was sure that I would make through… ☺☺☺
An awesome lunch, I gave my online train ticket and got fair upto 2nd AC.
Result declared on 30th june, joined on 13th july 2015.
Suggestions…
- Do carry all document including GATE admit card and score card print.
- Be on time, u will be free on time, u can also get ur interview done early if u have train/flight.
- Do pay respect to everyone as all people are well paid, seniors to us.
- Be positive, even low ranker gets selected.
- Be prepared with all u write in form, try to expose all projects u have done. This wud prevent u from their tech or HR questions.
- They will try to make you speak bad for last job, don’t tell if you have any experience. All jobs are good. Don’t just speak anything about Iocl. Get a brief from website about its market capture.
- They will certainly ask your role in oil refining company.
- Never tell, you have to do technical only. Technical and managerial both skills are required as Iocl has very less in technical especially for electrical. Don’t expose your future plans. Youu can share that if company provides opportunity for an MBA, you will do.
