Husk Power Systems Interview Experience : Preparation Strategy.
In November, the company visited our campus for intern hiring. Upon learning this from our training and placement cell, I began gathering all subjects and projects covered until then. Given the company’s focus on renewable energy, particularly solar and biogas, I concentrated on topics like power systems, power electronics, and electrical machines. My interest in power electronics and renewable energy integration led me to work on a MATLAB project. Additionally, I had completed vocational training at a substation (JUSNL RANCHI), which provided me valuable practical experience. I was Confident that technical questions would center around power systems and power electronics, because the company’s focus on solar and biogas energy production and distribution, I focused my preparation accordingly.
Selection and Interview process:
The company had only considered candidates from the EE and ECE branches. Prior to the interview, there was a pre-placement talk, followed by the distribution of a Google Form by our T&P cell for interested candidates to fill out. From this pool, some were randomly selected for interviews. Though unsure of the selection criteria, I was fortunate to be included. From what I recall, there were 8 candidates shortlisted – 5 from EE and 3 from ECE. The interview process consisted of two rounds: a technical round followed by a combined HR and technical round, both conducted online.

- Add some projects, skills and industrial training experience in your resume. Its really give you edge because the interviewer ask questions from whatever you mention in your resume and it will really help you a lot because most of the questions will be in your favour and no any questions will be out of the box I’m saying this because i have experienced the same during my interview. In case interviewer don’t find such things in your resume then the possibility that the questions will be in your favour is less.
- Interviewer always want to see that how much you are interested to join the company so during the interview always try to show your interest and try to convince the interview that you are the deserving candidate for the company.
