Hi friends! I am going to share my experiences with you…but before this read the lines given below…
“ Let not the horizon be your limit,
Dream Beyond Imagination,
And have faith in your fulfillment.”.
I am Dimple Chandra , pursuing B.Tech in Biotechnology from AMITY LUCKNOW CAMPUS and now one of the members of L&T family , which is really like an honour for me. I will be joining L&T in 2008.
Now, let me tell you the details of the recruitment process of L&T , which was faced by us at SRMCEM, lucknow on may 4th. There was a pool campus held at SRMCEM, lko.
Most of the engineering colleges of the city were invited there, and the process started at 10.00 am. A type of oral presentation was given to us , in which we were told about the company’s profile.
After this question papers along with the OMR answer sheets was provided to us. Three sets of question papers were distributed to the students. The written exam was thus started at 12 o’clock sharp and was over at 1.30pm. Around 600 students appeared, and out of those 110 got selected and I was one of them.
Coming to the details of the written test –
Written Exam –
There were 90 questions in the paper ,and the time allotted was 90 minutes. The paper was divided into 3 sections – Quantitative aptitude, Logical Reasoning and English. There were 30 questions in each section.
i.) Quantitative Aptitude – The questions were easy, only thing was the time management . For this, one must be thorough with the R.S. Agarwal’s quati apti book which is easily available in the market. The topics covered were-
· Ratio & Proportion
· Time , Distance& Work
· Average & simple interest
· Probability & matrices
· Percentage
· Profit & Loss
· Pipe & Cisterns
ii ) Logical Reasoning – You can refer R.S.Agarwal’s verbal-nonverbal book for this. It consisted of questions like-
· Puzzles
· Pattern Matching
· Syllogism, Sequence findings.
iii ) English – This section was made up of the following questions
· Synonyms, antonyms
· Phrases
· Prepositions
· Vocabulary
· Unseen Passages ( around 5-6 )
Again for this, the thing which was to be kept in the mind was the time management. After declaring the results, the selected students were asked to come on the next day at 8am sharp for the further proceedings.
2. Interview-
Friends it was my first interview and so I was thinking that what is going to happen next. But Thank God, everything went in the right direction. !!
Before the interview was started a form was given to us in which we have to mention our personal details along with our qualifications. That form was submitted along with our resume and then we were divided into 4 groups and were send to 4 different panels respectively.
Being a Biotech student I was a bit nervous as it was an IT co. but with the God’s grace and ofcorse the blessings of my parents , I was able to clear that with full confidence.
I faced only 1 Interview which was the combination of both (Technical + H.R).
One thing I want to tell you that I was fortunate enough in having such a dynamic and friendly interviewer. Sir was very nice and friendly too. He was so cool and calm that I didn’t feel as if I am giving an interview. Again I want to Thank God for this!
Coming to the questions which sir asked me-
Your name,college,stream.?
What is Biotechnolgy?
Explain Bioinformatics.
Why L&T..?
Role of biotech in IT sector.
Your strengths..explain creativity with examples.
What are leadership skills and team building qualities?
He gave me 2 situation analysis.
Lastly he said ,”any questions from me..?”
My interview was really an interesting one . The result was announced after a day..and you know what, I was the only student who got selected from my college and so teachers of my college, my parents and my well wishers are proud of me and I feel proud to be a member of L&T .My teachers, My parents and My friends all of them helped me a lot in leading me to this path of success. Hence, I offer my sincere thanks to all of them.
Want to tell you 1 thing that interview totally depends on your presence of mind , your body language, your knowledge, and also on luck. So keep these things in your mind and prepare well and be confident.. My Best Wishes are always with you..”Best of Luck” and “God Bless you”..!!
