Stay current on business and current affairs
Become a case ninja. Practice, practice and practice!
Do not learn the cases you solve during your preparation by heart! Do not blindly apply frameworks where they might not fit!
On interview day, don't worry if you make small mathematical errors, or if the interviewer pushes you away from one answer track. The former happens in most interviews, and the latter is done on purpose by the interviewer to see how you respond.
Also don't worry if you're nervous as hell and afraid of showing it. All of these things are natural, and happen in most interviews (and most successful interviews!). It is an impressive skill to recover mid-interview from these (again, very normal) situations. Unfortunately, many people compound their errors by focusing on what has just happened, instead of focusing 100% on getting to the correct answer.
Don't stress about your CV or background at all. You have an interview, so you're good enough on paper. Now prove it in person.

Many questions are likely to be competency-based. They may take the form of scenarios, so you are asked what you would do in a given situation. Your interviewer will then seek to match your responses to the company’s list of desired competencies.
You may also be asked about your motivation for applying to the company and wanting to work in the consumer goods industry. It’s also a good idea to think ahead about how you will respond if you are asked about your strengths and weaknesses, your achievements, and any creative projects you have been involved in.
It will help to be familiar with the company’s products: be prepared to be asked which your favourite is. It’s also a good idea to be aware of competitor products, but don’t get them muddled up.
Try to make your answers clear and to the point. Although thinking about your responses to typical questions in advance will help you, you need to respond to the particular questions you are asked, rather than giving rehearsed answers.
You can use the STAR technique to help you focus your responses. With each question, think about the S – Situation (set the scene); T – Task (what did you need to do?); A – Action (what did you actually do); and R – Result (what the outcome was, whether good or bad) of that situation.
OIL & GAS
Introduction:
Oil and gas is a prominent industry and the increasing demand implies well-paying jobs. With roles in technology, sustainability, engineering and more, the oil and gas industry can accommodate students and grads with different backgrounds and skillsets.
Some of the benefits of working in this sector could be – i. Working in an expanding sector.
ii. The diverse range of roles available. iii. Opportunities for international travel.
Sub Sectors:
The three major subsectors in oil and gas
• Upstream: Includes companies engaged in exploration and production (E&P) of oil & gas products • Mid-stream: Provide transportation and ancillary services to the E&P companies
• Downstream: Includes companies engaged in the refining and marketing & distribution of oil & gas products
Typical employers in exploration and production include operators (who run projects from start to finish); contractors (who provide specific services to operators, eg: installing equipment); suppliers (who provide equipment and individual components); and engineering companies (who specialise in particular areas, eg: flow assurance calculations). Employers in refining and marketing include refineries, contractors, suppliers and engineering companies (who provide extra expertise on refinery work).
Growth Opportunities:
This sector offers jobs in engineering occupations as well as management occupations (risk management specialists, construction managers etc.) Individuals can move up in the pay-scale as well as responsibility if they are willing to work hard.
The international nature of the industry brings opportunities to travel far afield. However, much activity occurs far from oil or gas fields, in ‘hubs’ such as Aberdeen, London, Houston, the Middle East and the Netherlands. As such, it’s often possible to stay closer to home if you wish.
Timescales in exploration and production are typically long: it may take five or ten years from starting the search for a new oil or gas field to beginning extraction, and the production phase can last for 30 years or more. Within this there are many discrete, shorter projects. Engineers working for operators and contractors typically work on one project at a time, each lasting several years; in contrast, an engineering company employee providing flow assurance calculations may complete the job in six weeks.
Exit Opportunities:
Skills acquired in the oil & gas industry are ones that are commonly needed by many other industries. Hence experience in this sector is helpful for jobs in manufacturing and other engineering services.
Skill Sets:
Companies:
The industry is comprised of not only the large energy companies such as Chevron, Essar, Cairn or Shell. It is also made up of many medium sized and smaller service companies. It also includes PSUs like ONGC, HPCL etc.
Preparation material:
For the technical round, questions maybe asked from the important core courses. Know your projects inside out. There may be GD/ interview rounds for which preparation can be done using online resources.
Tips:
It’s important to understand how your role fits into the bigger picture, will you be able to work offshore and what your long term plan is.
Internships are increasingly common and are a good way to explore different types of work. Many companies run graduate programmes lasting several years that allow engineers to try out different areas. Later, they may choose to become specialists in a particular area, follow a management route or work in project engineering (a project management role).

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Introduction:
Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines. They research, design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal devices, including tools, engines, and machines.
Students of this department have foundation in subjects like Mechanics, Kinematics, Thermodynamics, Fluid mechanics, Materials Engineering, Hydraulics, and Pneumatics, Product Design etc., and Math courses like Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra.
Generally hired by manufacturing industries, these engineers have employment opportunity in both private and public sectors. Government sectors like Defence, PWD, Post and Telegraphs, and CPWD also hire these engineers and Industries like the aeronautical, agricultural, automobile, chemical, bio-medical equipment manufacturers, energy, power, electronics, steel, oil exploration and refining, railways, etc. FMCGs also offer job profiles. They also have equal opportunities outside India.
With an average estimated growth rate and employment opportunities of 9 – 17%, mechanical engineering is surely one of the most convenient option for engineers.
Subsectors :
Manufacturing Product Design Thermal Engineering
Growth Opportunities:
It is expected that Employment of mechanical engineers is projected to grow 10 percent in the next few years, slower than the average for all occupations.
Mechanical engineers should experience faster than average growth in architectural, engineering, and related services as companies continue to contract work from these firms. Mechanical engineers will also remain involved in various manufacturing industries—specifically, transportation equipment and machinery manufacturing. Machinery will continue to be in demand as machines replace more expensive human labor in various industries. This phenomenon in turn should drive demand for mechanical engineers who design industrial machinery.
So ample scope for employment is seen in Core Companies like thermal power industry, gas turbines industry, Air Conditioning , Refrigeration industry, Oil and Gas exploration and Refining industries, Agricultural sector, Automobile industry etc. and also FMCG Companies like HUL,ITC, Britannia, etc.
People are bound to move up in the pay-scale as well as responsibility if they are willing to work hard.
Exit Opportunities:
A mechanical engineering degree is a great passport to a huge variety of non-engineering graduate jobs, both within the engineering industry and outside it.
If you want a non-technical career in the engineering sector, a number of the larger employers run into areas such as finance and management. You could also consider jobs in areas such as supply chain or technical sales. If you wish, you could start your career in an engineering job, and then progress into a more business-focused role at a later date.
Mechanical engineering graduates are welcomedfor their high level of numeracy and problem-solving mentality. In particular, IT companies and technical consultancies are well worth exploring, especially if you have some programming skills.Your skill set will also go down well with recruiters for finance, management and business or management consulting graduate schemes, while teachers with technical backgrounds are
Around 40% of graduate jobs are open to graduates from any degree discipline. Your extra-curricular activities and transferrable skills developed while at university could help launch your career in an entirely new direction.
Skill Sets:
Knowledge in subjects like Mechanics, Kinematics, Thermodynamics, Fluid mechanics, IC Engines, Heat Transfer,Materials Engineering, Hydraulics and pneumatics, Engineering design, Product design, and Math courses like Calculus, Differential-equations,Linear algebra and basic usage of SoftwareslikeAUTO -CAD, SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS,MATLAB will help.
