Are you a fresher diploma engineer trainee looking for a job in the industry? If yes, you might wonder how to prepare for the interview process and what kind of questions to expect. In this blog post, I will share some common HR round interview questions and core subjects for technical round interviews that you should know before applying for any engineering position. These questions are based on my own experience and research, and they are asked by some of the most reputed companies in the field, such as L&T Construction, Mahindra, Anand Group of Companies, Lumax, Super Smelter Ltd, Tata Power, Tata Motors and more. These tips will help impress recruiters and land your dream job.

HR Interview Questions

HR round Questions for freshers diploma engineering students: These questions are asked to understand your personality, motivation, values and aspirations. Some examples of family-related questions with answers for freshers engineering students are:

Tell me a little about yourself and your family background.

First of all, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is (name) and I am a final year diploma student in mechanical engineering from (college name). I have always been fascinated by machines and how they work, so I chose this field of study. I have learned a lot of practical skills and theoretical concepts during my course and I am eager to apply them in the real world.

Coming from my family background, I belong to a middle-class family of five members. My father works as (ABC) in (XYZ) company and he is my role model. He has taught me the values of hard work, honesty and perseverance. My mother is a homemaker and she is the pillar of our family. She takes care of all our needs and supports us in every situation. I have a younger brother and a sister who are studying in school. They are very smart and talented and I love them very much. Apart from my studies, I have some hobbies and interests that keep me engaged. I like to read books, especially on topics related to science and technology. I also enjoy playing chess and badminton with my friends. I am a quick learner and a team player. I can adapt to any environment and work well under pressure. That’s all about me. Thank you sir for listening.

Why you have chosen Diploma in Mechanical Engineering?

I have chosen Diploma in mechanical engineering because I have a passion for machines and mechanical engineering. I find it fascinating to learn how different machines work and how to design and improve them. I also think that mechanical engineering is a very practical and useful field that can help solve many problems in the world.

Another reason why I have chosen Diploma in mechanical engineering is that it is more economical for me and my family. A three-year diploma is cheaper than a four-year degree, and it also allows me to enter the workforce sooner. I can gain valuable experience and skills in the industry, and also support myself and my family financially. I think that Diploma in mechanical engineering is a good option for me because it matches my interests, goals and budget.

What are your short-term and long-term goals?

Short-term: My short-term goal is to complete my Diploma in mechanical engineering with flying colours and secure a job in a reputed company like yours. I have been working hard on my academics and projects throughout my diploma and I am confident that I have the skills and knowledge required for the role. I have also been preparing for the placement process by researching your company and its culture, values and vision. I am very impressed by your company’s achievements and reputation in the industry and I would love to be a part of it.

Long-term: My long-term goal is to grow with your company and become a successful mechanical engineer. I believe that your company offers a great platform for learning and development for freshers like me. I am eager to learn from the best and work on challenging and meaningful projects that can make a difference in the world. I also want to enhance my technical and professional skills and take up more responsibilities and leadership roles as I progress in my career. I want to use my learning and experience to contribute to your company’s goals and vision and create value for the customers and society.

What are your interests and hobbies?

Interviewers also ask about your hobbies and interests to get a sense of who you are as an individual and as a teammate. They also want to see if you have any skills or qualities that can benefit the company or the role you are applying for.

To answer this question effectively, you should follow these steps:

  • Decide what your hobbies are. Choose one or two hobbies that you enjoy and that are relevant to the job or the industry you are applying for. For example, if you are applying for a Diploma Engineer trainee position, you could mention hobbies like coding, building models, tinkering with electronics, etc.
  • Identify skills or qualities. Think about what skills or qualities your hobbies have helped you develop or improve. For example, coding can show your creativity, problem-solving, and attention to detail. Building models can show your planning, organization, and precision skills.
  • Deliver your interview answer. Explain briefly what your hobbies are and why you enjoy them. Then, relate them to the job by highlighting the skills or qualities they demonstrate. For example, you could say: “One of my hobbies is coding. I like to create websites and apps for fun and to challenge myself. Coding has helped me develop my creativity, problem-solving, and attention to detail skills, which I think are essential for a Diploma Engineer trainee.”
  • Answer follow-up questions. Be prepared to answer any questions the interviewer might have about your hobbies and interests. For example, they might ask you how long you have been doing them, what projects you have completed or are working on, how you balance them with your studies or work, etc.

I hope this helps you prepare for your interview. Good luck!👍

You should be prepared to answer these questions with confidence and honesty, but also be careful not to reveal too much personal information that might be irrelevant or inappropriate for the job. You should also avoid giving negative or controversial opinions about your family members or situations. Try to focus on the positive aspects of your family background and how they have helped you develop your skills, values and goals. You should also relate your answers to the engineering field and the company you are applying for.
