Technical Behavioral

The interview was held at a 3-star hotel. There were three interviewers. One focused on technical questions, another asked a mix of HR and technical questions, and the third remained silent, possibly observing body language and for psychoanalysis. The questions primarily covered Thermodynamics and Power Plant Engineering, so brushing up on these subjects is recommended. It's also important to have a good understanding of the company's profile. Additionally, they asked detailed questions about previous work experience.

Technical Behavioral

Candidates were chosen via campus interviews, with interviewers visiting from the corporate office. The interviews involved both technical and soft skill assessments. Depending on the number of selected applicants, interviewers, and available time, some interviews were one-on-one and others were panel-based. Applicants needed to be strong in both technical knowledge and personality. The workforce at BHEL is good, and office environments are satisfactory, though work culture can differ between units and job roles, ranging from professional to bureaucratic across BHEL's subsidiaries.
