Name of the Topic / Task : Global Warming
Time Given : 40 Minutes
Details of the process and your contribution:
We were asked to assume ourselves to be consultants who would be required to give some recommendations to the
government regarding Global Warming i.e. measures to be taken to curb the present environmental scenario. 5 minutes
time was given for collecting our thoughts and in a group of 5 members sitting around a round table, I was the one to
initiate the discussion. I had very sound knowledge background about the topic since my projects were related to this area
so I didn't find it tough. Valuable points like Awareness programs, Technology Transfers, and encouragement of R&D
activities were shared by me.

The interviewer saw my resume and went through my subjects and some of my achievements. Since I had ranks in some
Maths Olympiads, he started asking me questions from Fourier Series and transforms. Then he asked me me area of
interest to which I replied, Electrical Machines and Power Systems. He asked me application based questions from
machines for eg. why slipring induction motor is no longer used. And when it was used, what was the peculiar aspect
because of which it was used. The answer was that slipring induction motor has a facility of external torque control. And
then there were questions from Power System Protection and general questions from Power Systems. The interview lasted
for about 50 minutes.

They call it the behavioral interview in which they ask you to quote situations in which you faced conflicts, or led a team
or took a major decision etc etc. The interview lasted for an hour and after that there was one more round of a case study

Set your priorities and choices right. ABB has tremendous brand value and reputation in the market. Be fully convinced
when you go for any company. For ABB in specific, there are many rounds (1 online test in Warangal and rest in
Bangalore), so please maintain your cool throughout the session. Be natural in behavioral interview and make sure your
fundamentals of electrical engineering are sound.

I am fully convinced about the brand value of the company and its future prospects. Since it is an electrical core company,
I am glad that I got selected.
