Nikita Arora (Final B.Tech. PT)
Question - Answers :
Q1) Ma'am introduce yourself and in which
company you are placed in and your domain?
->
Myself Nikita Arora and I’m a final year B.Tech. student from the department of
Paint Technology. I got placed in Asian paints. It is an Indian Multinational
paint company.
And my
domain is R&T (Research and Technology).
Q2) What resources did you use in your preparation
for the placement?
->
So basically in the department of Paint Technology you don’t need any external
resource for the preparation. The subjects (the core subjects of paint) which
are being taught from the starting of 2nd year, those are really
important from placement point of view.
If a
student wants to get placed in a paint oriented company, he/she needs to have a
good command over those subjects.
Q3) Ma'am have you done any internship?
-> Yes, I have done two internships-
The first internship which I did was after the end
of my 2nd year in DMSRDE (Defence Material and Stores Research
and Development Establishment), DRDO.
And my second internship which I did was after the end of my 3rd year. And that was mandatory. I did that internship in Tata Motors in their Lucknow plant.
Q4) According to you, what are the points
which should be highlighted in a good CV to make it attractive?
-> Your CV should include your Educational background that is must of course. But the co-curricular activities which you have taken part in, should be highlighted because that reflects your overall personality development over the time. This is a general point to be included.
But
the outlook of a CV changes with every domain and company. For instance, if you
are preparing your CV for a particular
domain then you have to highlight some specific points like you have a good
command on Excel if you are preparing your CV for the domain of an analyst.
And similar to that, the outlook of your CV changes with the company you are targeting.
Q5) Ma'am what CGPA according to you a student must
maintain to get a good placement?
-> So, I
would say that the CGPA above 7 is considered as good to get a decent package
in a decent Company. Also, it is suggested for a student not to have any active
or dead backlogs because most of the Companies do not prefer the student having
any of the backlogs.
Q6) In what co-curricular activities you were
involved in?
-> In my early college days, I was part of ASCPC
and E-cell and that gave me a wide exposure. Apart from these, I was very
active in Gruv and sports(volleyball) as well. Because through these clubs I
interacted with new people and that boosted my confidence which helps you
tackle the new coming questions in interviews and Group Discussions as well.
Q7) What was your placement procedure? Please
elaborate.
-> So, firstly they conducted an online
assessment which includes Mathematical Reasoning and other similar kinds of
tests. Followed by this they conducted a Group Discussion . After that, a
Technical interview related to the core Paint was held and in the last HR
interview was conducted.
