HPCL INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE

SARAGADAM GANESH AIR-50 70.67 MARKS Started preparing for gate in 2020...due to COVID I couldn't attend any classes so followed unacademy free classes and got 10k rank in 2021. Again prepared myself for 2022 got 5k rank. Thought this preparation can't get me into psu.so came to Hyderabad joined made easy for GATE 2023, got 2658 rank. since i was 21 passed out so got depressed and not in a position to take drop and waste one more year. I came to know about my mistakes and told my parents about this. They told me to take decision wisely so that I shouldn't regret again.meanwhile I got shortlisted for hpcl and BARC scientist interviews through separate exams not through gate. These two interviews boosted my confidence to take one more year drop and work hard for it and achieved this rank... 2021- 43marks- 10k 2022- 41- 5k 2023- 45- 2658 Hpcl- gt cleared but couldn't clear pi round BARC SOc- interview duration 58mins- but couldn't make it to final list As the selection ratio is less. So i didn't expect my name in final list. 2024- Hpcl- written cleared- but didn't attend gt and pi BARC- Technical officer- written cleared-interview 53 mins- result awaiting BARC- Stipendary trainee- written cleared- interview 45mins- result awaiting GATE- 70.67marks- AIR50 ISRO scintist- written cleared- waiting for interview call NPCIL- interview shortlisted-result awaiting BARC SOc-interview was not so good again couldn't make it into final list Above mentioned are just for the reference who thought gate is just an exam and can clear within one year. It may take time but if u workhard u can get it in one year otherwise it will take time..but u will get it if u give wholehearted efforts towards whatever u r preparing for. Coming to my preparation strategy Made easy class notes-workbook-test series-pyqs (4-5 times before gate).and in made easy telegram group students post good questions better if u spend 30 mins in telegram once in everyday..if u think that is tough question save it and try to solve it till u get the concept behind it. The reason why I took these many years is that I am from diploma background in which I didn't studied mathematics and it is important subject. Even in technical questions u will find mathematical relations. Which took a lot of time to learn. I was an Average student. Previously I have studied only concept then came to know that gate requires concept, problem solving and time management. Learned about it through my 3 attempts and made it in my 4th attempt. Hope this helps many students struggling like me. All the best lot of PSUs are waiting for u. Prepare hard give ur best.

"Preparation Strategy for HPCL Exam To prepare for the HPCL exam, I allocated 1-2 hours daily for non-technical portions and utilized the remaining time to revise class notes and previous year's questions (PYQs) of ESE. I also made it a point to revise the material repeatedly. Additionally, I enrolled in the Made Easy test series for the HPCL exam, which greatly aided me in time management and non-technical portions. I took the mock tests at the same time as the scheduled exam, approximately three weeks prior. Group Discussion (GD) Tips During the GD, the topic was centered around a large petroleum corporation modernizing its petrol pumps in rural areas. We were required to suggest a strategy for this initiative. My advice for the GD round is to speak clearly and confidently, highlighting 3-4 key points. This approach will help you clear this round. It's also essential to maintain eye contact with the panel members, but avoid staring at them intensely. Personal Interview (PI) Experience During the PI, I faced a panel of 12 members. The interview began with a brief introduction, so it's crucial to ensure your introduction is concise and to the point. The panel then inquired about my decision to leave my previous job, which was a high-paying position in an upstream oil and gas production company. I provided a clear and logical explanation for my decision. The panel also asked questions based on my CV and general HR-related queries, such as whether I would be willing to accept a posting in a remote location. If you have prior work experience, be prepared to answer questions related to your job. If you lack work experience, focus on thoroughly preparing your technical subjects, including topics like thermodynamics, power plants, and heat and mass transfer."
