KPIT Technologies Interview Experience for Associate Engineer (On-Campus)
Last Updated :
14 Aug, 2023
KPIT visited our campus in July 2023 for recruiting 2024 batch students. The whole process was stretched for 15 days, which included the following:
- Registration
- Online assessment
- Technical round
- HR round
1) Registration
It was done by individuals on a superset platform. Included uploading of resumes and other necessary documents and information.
2) Online assessment
It consists of
- mcq around your subjects (For example, ENTC people will have MCQs about VLSI, amplifier, etc.)
- Aptitude (Tricky, needed enough time to understand and solve them)
- Two coding questions ( I would rate them as easy level if you have done a decent amount of coding practice. Although I Solved one fully and other partially. One was on the map and the other was on arrays.)
- A section where you were given a topic and you have to write on it, in limited time. A min and max limit of words was provided.
- A section (had 3 sub-sections) where various puzzle games were given with very limited time.
I thought I won’t be shortlisted because I was not able to solve the second coding question fully. Yet I was selected. 94 were selected out of 231. I believe there was an overall and a section-wise cutoff involved.
3) Technical round
It was a virtual mode interview on superset. First It was scheduled for 1:30 PM, then moved to 2:30 PM, and finally was scheduled for 5:00 PM. The interviewer started off by introducing himself.
- can you please introduce yourself
- asked in detail about one of the two internships? And cross-questioned about the problem solved. Also asked my contribution to that and how it helped the company.
- Do you know about embedded c?
- what is the main difference between c and C++?
- How the oops concept is implemented.
- what is polymorphism?
- can you explain in detail about one of your projects?
- What do you understand by the word “electronics”.
- What is the work of an amplifier?
- Explain the difference between the semiconductor devices: diode and transistor.
- What is the key difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor?
- write me a program to find if a number is odd or even using the modulo operator. ( I explained the concept of “%” along with writing the code, why and where we use it, and gave suitable examples.)
- Do you have any questions for me? ( We actually had a great discussion about the competitors of KPIT and KPIT’s strong global presence.)
If you are thinking about why there were electronics-related questions. Let me be clear, I am an ENTC student thus such questions can often be asked to test the presence of mind towards the main subjects.
There were other questions apart from the above-mentioned. I don’t remember them.
The count was not disclosed, most people got the call for the HR round.
4) HR round
Almost after 5-6 days, HR round interview was scheduled on superset.
- How you are doing?
- How is the weather there?
- The interviewer introduces himself.
- Asked me to explain a little about my background in terms of academics and skills.
- Discussed my work at both internships. ( Explained it in very detail and got cross-questioned for the same. I can say it took more than 10 min around this only.)
- Have you faced any conflict of interest during your course of internship with “X” company? (I explained one scenario.)
- How you handled it.
- Did you miss any deadlines during your internship? ( I completed my projects on time and took some extra work on them.)
- ok, So any deadline you missed during your assessment submission in college? How you handle it. (I explained the situation once I was in, and the approach I used to tackle that.)
- It was nice talking to you, do you have any questions for me? ( Had a good discussion around work culture and the superiority of KPIT in the automotive industry.)
There were a few other questions too.
So finally after 4-5 days, the results were out. 50 were selected. I was one of them.
