I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Saint-Gobain (Coimbatore) in Oct 2019
Interview
Initially there was a GD wherein, a puzzle was given to all the group members and were asked to discuss and give an answer. They also gave some relevant and irrelevant hints.
Then there was the Interview round for those who were selected in the GD round. I was selected..In the interview round they asked me my areas of interest. I mentioned Lean Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management. They said they were generic topics that every one will know. Then I told them i am good even in materials and thermodynamics too. However, they asked me questions from Lean Manufacturing. I answered them all and finally they said my nterests were not mechanical related and so they were not going to select me.

Interview
First, there was an online test consisting of aptitude and technical questions. Then few students were shortlisted for interview. Mechanical engineering and electrical engineering were eligible for this role. I belong to EEE background and interview was purely technical. Questions were focused on fundamentals.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
These are few questions that I remember.
1.Explain the working principle of an electric motor?
2.What is efficiency of motors and generators?
3.What is difference between synchronous and asynchronous motor?
4.How synchronous motor maintains synchronous speed?What is slip? 5.What is formula of slip?
6.Find slip of a motor with speed 1300 rpm?What is drive?
7.How does it work?What is power factor?
8.Draw the digram of active power, reactive power.How can we improve power factor?
7.Draw a substation and explain?
8.Draw single line diagram of 11kV to 33kV transmission substation.
9.What happens when 11kV converted to 33kV?
Basic engineering questions from 2nd year of my B.Tech were asked. Further questioning was done based on the projects and past interns listed in my resume. Some family related questions were also asked.

Interview
Both HR and technical interview happened simultaneously, where the technical questions were quite answerable. Questions were asked from diverse field like instrumentation, automation, and electronics were most of the questions were easy to moderate. If you speak confidently and explain the concepts clearly it will be a cake walk for you.
