IOCL INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE

IOCL Interview Experience of selected students based on GATE 2017 score.

I was interviewed at IOCL's IIPM (IndianOil Institute of Petroleum Management) Gurgaon on 19th June, 2017.

GD Choices-
1. The state of Indian Engineering Education scene due to opening of way too many colleges.
2. Should 0% Interest loans be provided to Farmers in today's times of farmer unrest.

GT (Group Task) - 

Only two IITs have made it to the Top 200 rankings of World's Best Institutes. As directors of various IITs, find a solution to make sure that not just two but many more IITs could crack the Top 100 rankings.

The GD/GT Panel seemed uninterested, hardly even looking at which candidate is even speaking at GD. Payed a little more attention during GT to notice if we were interacting or not.

Interview- 

Panel consisted of Five Members-
1. Tell me about yourself.
According to my answer from there-
2. What you did after job ?
3. Would it not have been possible to do along with job ?
4. Best achievement while being at job ?
5. Describe in detail the CSR activity you mentioned.
( because of my job at Automobile Company ).
6. BS-3, BS-4, BS-6 Changes in fuel and changes in vehicles design.
7. Is Indian automobile market ready for them?
8. Crankshaft Material and manufacturing and why exactly?
9. CRDI and it's effect for a common man.
10. Welding Vs Brazing.
11. Bearings in IC engine.
12. Give brief description about IOCL major businesses.
13. Do you know how many refineries we have?
14. What is our petrochemical brand name and it's products?

The panel was very senior and yet very very humble and friendly.
They listened to each and every answer with at most attention, allowed me to answer with however much time I needed and placed counter questions only after I had finished my part.

After answering over dozen of questions over half an hour, the most senior of them, asked if anyone wants to ask any more (in a comic way) and we all laughed.

Finally, HR mam asked last question-
15. Which was the gas responsible for Bhopal Gas Tragedy and the company name? (because of my college was in Bhopal).

With the final answer, I was allowed to leave.

10. Let you are shift in-charge at your shop floor and some contractor worker slapped on permanent worker and due to this all the permanent workers went outside the factory and decided not to work. What you will do in this situation?

By reading all this you might think that I told them automobile or physics is my area of interest but trust me neither I had written in my CV nor I told them regarding this.I don't know why they were so much focused on automobile.

Actually they have a set of questions written on a page and they will ask you from those papers only unless you have some work experience.
So prepare your mind as they can ask you anything,even out of your domain.

Anyways best of luck !!
