I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ALSTOM (Hisār) in Aug 2015
Interview
I applied through college(NIT hamirur), the process started with an online test(aptitude+technical) which can be easily cleared if you have the surface knowledge of some core mechanical subjects such as thermo, som, MD, RAC. Then selected students were called for further process to NIT kurukshetra. They gave a PPT n then their was a group discussion over "should government invest in primary education or should it open more IITs & IIMs." U should give some valid points with data to support ur argument in order to clear it. Then their was technical interview in which they mostly asked about SOM (SFD BMD, Mohr's circle), and some general question on deisel cycle, otto cycle and machine design. They didn't much cared for what projects or internships u have done. Next was HR round in which general questions were asked such as why do u wanna join our company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are SI engines compared to otto cycle and CI engine compared to diesel cycle?
The assessment and the GD was like the level is easy and the interview was resume based. Overall experience was good. Just don't get stressed out and answer everything with calm and presence mind.
There are 4 rounds first is the online aptitude test, followed by GD, then the Technical round and HR... The aptitude test is easy to crack with ample practice, and in TR, resume-based questions were asked

I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ALSTOM (Chennai) in Sep 2025
Interview
First, we had an online test that mainly consisted of aptitude questions. After that, we had a one-on-one technical interview where they asked basic mechanical engineering questions like the laws of thermodynamics, along with questions from our resumes. Candidates were then shortlisted for the HR round. In the HR interview, they asked typical behavioural questions such as why we want to join Alstom and whether we’re open to relocating. After this stage, 12 students were shortlisted, and following another round of internal filtering—based on criteria we weren’t informed about—they finally selected 6 candidates.
