BEL Interview



On this 21st August, 2004 I am attended the interview for Probationary Engineer at BEL,

Bangalore. Its for CSE stream. Interview lasts for 40 minutes. As I have to face my ever

first Job interview, am with little bit anxiety. Here are the details of the interview I would

like to share with these magnificent group friends.



As I entered in to the room by asking excuse me Sir, They invited me very politely and

offered a chair to seat. There were four members in the panel all were in age group of 50,

of which two members are from Central Research Laboratory of BEL grilled out me with

tech questions. One is HR department person and remained was acts as head of the

panel.



First the head of the panel introduced all the members and explained the procedure of the

interview. First he starts by describing about the company for almost five minutes, which

makes me to relax and comfortable with the panel. After that he asked to tell about

myself briefly for a minute.



While I am in a way of describing myself, he also asked to point out the achievements,

strong points, hobbies and regarding sports. Also asked for favorite subjects, and I told

that C, Database and Networks are my favorites.



Now it’s the time for technical grilling..



The first person from CRL starts by asking

And he shows already written function prototypes asked to describe it.. as

int *(*p)(int a, float b) // pointer 2 the function p returns integer pointer

int (*p)(int *a, float b) //pointer 2 the function p returns integer

int *p(int a, float *b) // function p returns integer pointer

int p(int a, float *b) // function p returns integer

now he looks as impressed and asked

how to return 1000 variables from a function in C?

Now seen changes to second person of CRL

He asked to explain about my project? (It lasts for 4 minutes)

What do u prefer to be a team leader or team member?

What r the qualities u have for being a leader?

How can u solve the conflicts in a team?

How can u react if some one else competing with u in ur team for promotion?

Again head asks me

And he gestures to HR to explain pay and bond details

appointed as probationary engineer, and also told that based on our performance

promotion will be carried out early or late.
