Technical Group Behavioral
This is about HPCL engineer 2021 recruitment. The process involves a Computer Based Test (CBT) first, then a Group Task (GT) and an interview. GT and interview happened on the same day. All were elimination rounds. CBT had half aptitude and half technical domain questions. GT was pretty standard. To avoid elimination, make sure to talk about the topic. You'll get about 3-4 chances to speak, and it lasts for 15 minutes. Around 40% of candidates get eliminated in GT, and a similar percentage in the interview. This time, the interview was entirely HR-based, but if you have experience, expect some technical questions related to your field. The interview was easy, and language wasn't an issue; you could speak in Hindi or English.

The interview focused on interpersonal skills, with no technical questions. There's a 50% rejection rate. They don't consider your branch or rank when rejecting. Groups are formed mixed regardless of branch category, etc. Elimination happens at every stage. A group task is followed by an HR interview.
