Technical Behavioral

The interview started with 'tell me about yourself' and then about the projects undertaken by us. They kept on asking about the projects I did in B.Tech as well as in M.Tech in detail. They kept on questioning me upon whatever I spoke, like I said reflux ratio, then they kept on asking me what is reflux ratio, in a standard condition how much reflux ratio we have to incorporate, how I will find the operating reflux ratio from McCabe-Thiele.

  • Can you explain the performance of pumps?
