UpdatedSep14 youhavebeenaskedinajobinterview?
I cleared the BHEL written exam and was called for interview. No GD. Interview was for Whataresomeinterestingquestionsaskedinan
the post of Executive engineer /E1 grade. It was a 10 minutes interview with 5 persons in interview?
the panel.Among them atleast one was an IAS ocier.
Whataresomeofthebestinterviewquestionsasked
Vaccant post : called candidates = 1:4 ratio. Loads of question were asked foraMEPengineering?
momentarily.Some question I remember are:
Whataresomeofthemostdifficultquestionsbeing
askedinaninterview(Mechanicalengineering)?
Whataresomegoodmechanicalengineering
1) Take your seat.Why are you sweating? Are you nervous? technicalquestionsIcanaskasaninterviewer?
No sir. Actually... little bit. This is my rst interview for a core company.(They smiled at me). Whatarethebestprogramminginterviewquestions
you'veeveraskedorbeenasked?
2) What is an IC engine and how does it work?
Whatisthebestwayforamechanicalengineering
Explained from text book knowledge. studenttoprepareforjobinterviews?
3) Dierence between petrol engine and diesel engine.Why their milage diers.
Explained properly.
4) What will happen to the room temperature if you turn your room in to a closed
system by closing all the door and window perfectly and then you open the door of the
room refrigerator that is in running condition.
Got puzzled.but answered as temperature of the room will increase since input is always
greater than output of the system.
5)What actually entropy is? Explain me since I know only farming. ;-)
I tried to explain entropy as a disorderness of a system without explaning any mathematical

formula and interviewer nodded approvingly.
6)Tell me quickly ,Two co-cenric circle rolls together up to 3 mtr.Now tell me whether
both the point has travelled same distance or not.
https://www.quora.com/Whataresomeofthebestinterviewquestionsaskedforamechanicalengineeringstudent 1/17
2/5/2017 Whataresomeofthebestinterviewquestionsaskedforamechanicalengineeringstudent?Quora
Its the perimeter they are travelling. So obviously dierent.
7) Explain how a human walks by using friction.What kind of friction is involved

(static friction or rolling friction).
Answered though not sure.
8)What is dovetail milling.Why class 3 lever is used in reality.
Explained
9)What is the need of riser in moulding?
Explained riser as a checking process to conrm the molten metal has lled the cavity or
not.but interviewer didnot agree indicating me for any other reason.closed my eye and took
5 sec and explained.
riser works as a backup reservior of molten metal when the cavity metal volume shrinks due
to solidication.
Interviewer happily agreed.I was like 'God saved'.
10)Gave me a paper and pencil and asked to draw a carnot cycle and explain it.
Explained it.(never forget to give the directional arrow sign for any mechanical cycle.mind
it.That is a test too)
11)Asked me bout posting preferences.If it is Ladakh will it be okay for you?
Had to agree by thinking I can drink coee in the cold ;).Interviewer gave a strange look.
12)Why do you want to quit the biggest IT MNC since this sector is surging?
Told it honestly.Mechanical attracts me more and I will be surging along with BHEL.
After their whispering internal discussion they told "ok.you may leave".
Result: Selected.
There are thousand of question you can be asked to be judged.You need to be thorough with
the text books rst.Rests are presence of mind and your originality.
All the best.
Edit1: I did not think of so many likes and views (56.2K). It does feel good. Thanks

Thanks for the A2A.
I would like to highlight some general points about mechanical interviews. You can enter
the interview stage only if you have passed the written test (Technical and aptitude). All
interviews will always start with "Tell me about yourself". Then they will shift to your
resume and if they are interested in any of your doings you will be questioned on that. So be
careful on resume preparation and include only things that you have done and have good
knowledge in it.
Next, based on the title and role of the job, the interview varies. They will test you on the
areas where you will be put to work if you are selected. So vary your resume according to the
company prole (For example: Areas of interest).
If you have convinced the interviewer till now. Then you will be checked whether mentally
you are ready for the job and whether you can work in a team. They also see whether you are
looking for a long term commitment. If you say that you will be going for higher studies in
an year, you will surely be rejected.
This is the general process and in some interviews the technical and HR rounds will be
separated. But the procedure is same as said earlier.
To put it in a nut shell:
1) Prepare your resume properly. Be thorough in all the things you have specied.
2) Show your skills and willingness to take up the job is selected.
3) Be yourself.
4)Admit if you are not sure of something. Don't try to manage.
All the best
EDIT 1:
I would like to add few more things.
1) Make yourself thorough with the rst 2 or 3 chapters in basic Mechanical books. By that i
mean,
Kinematics - R.S.Khurmi
Dynamics - R.S.Khurmi
Thermodynamics - Rajput
Fluid Mechanics - Bansal, Rajput or Khurmi
Engineering Graphics - K.V.Natrajan
Strength of materials- R.S.Khurmi
Manufacturing Technology - VJ Ragavan ;)
These are the few books i referred and the choice is yours but make yourself thorough in
rst 3 chapters of these subjects. Because all the basics for that subject wil be discussed in
those and mostly you will be questioned in that during an interview. 90% Success is
assured.
2) Then choose one or two subjects from the above and study it top to bottom. This makes
your area of interest.
3) Very rarely you will be asked some tricky questions and if that happens use your brain if
its beyond your knowledge. They will be testing your presence of mind sometimes.
I will keep editing if anything strikes me.

Company : MDL (Mazagon Dock Limited)
Questions :
Q: Tell me something about yourself and your family background.
me : told.
Q: Which city in Nepal is attached to the border of Bihar ?

me: I didn't knew (They told me it's Birganj )
Q: Give us an overview of your summer internship. What was its practical application? Try
to keep it as short as possible.
me: told
Q: What was you B.Tech project about? Explain in detail.

me: told.
Q: What does MDL (company's name) do?

me: It makes warships, ship buildings and oshore vessels for companies like ONGC.
Q: Apart from MDL where else have you applied for?

me: ONGC, NTPC, IOCL and BARC.
Q: Tell me your area of interest?

me: Thermodynamics and uid mechanics (they started laughing because this was the area
of interest common in more than 90% candidates they interviewed)
Q: Draw the P-V and T-S diagram of otto cycle. What does 'S' in 'T-S' stands for?
me:
'S' stands for entropy.
Q: Out of 4 stroke and 2 stroke SI engine, which one has better fuel eciency? What about
Power eciency?
me: fuel eciency of 4 stroke is better and power eciency of 2 stroke is better.
Searchforquestions,people,andtopics SignIn
Q: So it's my nal question. Suppose if you get selected in any of the above companies,
would you prefer MDL over these companies?
me: Sir both,my internship as well as my B.Tech project, were based on design and I would
like to join a company which allows me to explore in this eld, so I will surely join mdl
because there is not much to explore in design eld in the above mentioned companies.
(They seem pretty satised with my answer)
Advice : Thoroughly prepare your B.Tech Project and summer internship. It consumes
about 70% of the total interview duration. Prepare Fluid mechanics, IC engines and
Manufacturing for technical. Be ready with your answers for HR questions.
EDIT: I was selected.
