Ronik Patel -- sharing my experience

Good Afternoon Mr. Pawan Dwivedi, I am Ronik Patel from 4th year Electrical and would like to share some moments while clearing each n every stage of ESSAR. Firstly about written (the very first stage for letting all hopes alive) -- it was an online test with 4 sections (quantitative, analytical, verbal, technical). There was inadequate time for reading n understanding questions so dont worry about how many questions you will attempt. Just try and find out some easy questions and solve them very quickly. In excess time do bluff some answers and answer each and every question as there are no negative markings. Technical section was very easy contaning quesitons regarding mostly dc machines (prepare fully including winding methods), some from power system and batteries. There is sectional cut off so make sure that u attempt the test completely.Secondly in group discussion do partipicate actively. They concentrate on each and every candidate -- like how they react when other person is saying something and even they also notice as if you are not reacting at all. There are specific topics for GD. But be aware of latest current affairs. Dont prepare for GD. Its like a group of friends having a very healthy debate between them. Dont be hasty to start and conclude GD. If you are confident enough and have a very good starting point then and then you start it. Try to say something dont sit quietly. If u lack in communication then tell some easy points which you can convey easily.Finally about interview. Be confident, honest. Have attitude (not excess), clear vision about what to say. Dont copy skills from other candidates. Be calm and dont be hasty. Do listen questions much properly and clearly. Over and above technical knowledge they see your confidence, attitude towards life. If you dont any question then dont try to bluff or give wrong answers. Be honest and say i dont know. Even sometimes they start asking something technical which you are not much aware of then do interrupt them and say i wont be able those things. They asked me about my last semester project. I explained them fully and it was consisting some power factor improvement related things. So my evry question was regarding it. They asked me causes, consequences, remedies for low power factor in an induction motor. Then other question was "will the improvement of power factor change the reading of energy meter of a house (KWH meter)". asnwer will no as the product of current and power factor will remain constant everytime and as voltage is constant, there wont be any effect on Power. So no change. He was impressed by my attitude and confidence.
