The whole thing took about seven days. First, there was a technical exam, which is kind of hard, a lot of people don't pass it. If you do pass, then you have an HR interview. The technical exam has a few parts: process control, logic using ladder diagrams, programming, and converting an equation into a curve. The HR interview is to check your English and then some regular HR stuff.

So, it was a pooled campus recruitment day 1. We were in a big hall with around 150 students. The HR gave a 20-min presentation about Invensys India and FOXBORO, covering their clients, divisions, and some stats. Then we took an Aptitude test at 1100 HRS. It had two objective papers, 30 questions each. Paper 1 was General Aptitude (reasoning, data interpretation, quant), which was easy. Paper 2 was an engineering aptitude test, focused on Control Systems and Instrumentation, also straightforward. There was negative marking: 1 mark for correct, -1 for wrong. Results were out by 1830 HRS on the notice board. 25 people were selected and got a phone call. Day 2, we were called to their facility in batches of 5 over two days. Day 2 involved a Group Discussion (20 mins, topics: Education System in India vs Overseas, Women managing Home and Work - it was cordial), a Technical Interview, and then a Personal/HR interview. The HR interview was with a Junior Recruiter and the Director. They asked about family, willingness to move to Chennai, and higher studies plans. The director mentioned I could do higher studies later. They also asked about motivating others, my low aggregate marks, and if I had questions.

So first, there was like a 5 min HR interview where I had to introduce myself and talk about my current work in one paragraph. Then, a 20 min technical interview happened with the engineering manager. They mainly asked about my PLC and SCADA experience. Honestly, it wasn't too hard.
