    Interview Questions Asked from NIKHIL SINGH GATE Rank-341 Are as follows

    GD:

    GD at NMDC was quite different from those of other PSUs. The candidates were made to sit in an array with no table in the front and no piece of paper was given to write the points.
    After giving the topic everyone was asked to introduce themselves and after that we were asked to state our views on the topic. Once everyone has given their views then the house was made open.

    Topic: Status of Women in India

    They always give common topics on which every one can say something like some of my other frnds had: Farm Bills, Impact of COVID, How to prepare for 3rd wave, Leaders or Entrepreneurs, etc.
    Since my batch was very friendly and co-operative so the GD went very smooth.
    Everybody gave good points and I backed others point with facts and also I helped 2 guys speak up their points so guess that earned me brownie points.

    PI:
    The PI at NMDC was more like a viva and lasted for an avg. of 5 mins for every candidate with only technical questions and no HR questions at all.

    I got in and saw 3 panellists out of which 1 was a lady so I started wishing from her. After which I was made to sit. The questions were very basic. It went like

    P1: So, what is your name?   
    I answered.

    P2: From which college had u done your graduation and which year?
    I answered.

    P1: What is your fav. subject?
    I said I liked every subject but if u want to know a certain subject, then it would be Mine Development and Ventilation.

    P1: So have u visited any Mine
    I said yes and I said the name of the mines Haldibari UG and Moonidih UG to which P2 asked

    P2: Have u seen a Ventilation room?
    I said yes

    P2: What all things were there?
    I answered

    P3: Which type of fan was used and size of fan?
    I answered the type of fan but wasn’t knowing the exact dia. Of fan so I admitted it politely then

    P1: Its ok can u say an approximate size.
    I said yes sir…about the size of this room

    P1: good, so why do they have used forcing fan in Moonidih and not exhaust what if we use exhaust?
    I answered with detailed explanation and they were quite satisfied with my answer.

    P2: What do we call such kind of ventilation system in which the air passes from lower level then to upper level?
    It was Deccessional ventilation.

    P2: Do u know duct? Why do we use duct?
    Answered them with reference to Moonidih mine

    P1: What are methods of diverting air?
    I said stoppings and using a booster fan can be used.  But the panellist wasn’t satisfied… he wanted to hear what he wants and since I didn’t know it so I accepted.
    Then he said that haven’t u seen “X” (I can’t recall what he said) thing in moonidih then I said, “ that I have visited to the longwall panel not B&P. Then he said …its okay it isn’t used in B&P.
    The lady wasn’t asking questions but she was just observing.

    They said that I can leave.
    I felt that this wasn’t enough and I wanted to tell them more about me… so I asked
    “Sir, if you allow me then I want to tell something about me”
    They said…its ok and showed me my documents that I submitted for DV saying that “here we have all about u”(which literally just had my results and nothing else)
    I said no sir, apart from that there is a lot more about me that i can tell.
    They refused again so I said thank you and left.

    Overall I think interview was just a formality for Mining branch (other branch interviews were like genuine and lasted about 12-15mins.) and they will be selecting on basis of GATE score.



    Kindly do share you GD and interview questions so that it can be helpful to future candidates. Mail to - info@mineportal.in
