Dreaming of a PSU Job with a massive package? This is your blueprint. A starting package of 20 + lakh and a badge of HPCL officer, the dream came true. In this episode of Pagal Dada, we are unlocking the secrets to cracking Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL). I am joined by Nithin Bhukya from NIT Rourkela, who successfully cleared one of the toughest recruitment processes for engineering students. About the Guest: Nithin Bhukya is a final year student at NIT Rourkela. His journey from campus preparation to securing a spot at a Maharatna PSU is a lesson in consistency and smart strategy. Most people think PSUs are only about GATE scores. But HPCL has its own separate exam and a grueling interview process. Nithin breaks down every single stage—from the Computer Based Test (CBT) to the tricky Group Task and the final Personal Interview. If you want to know exactly what technical questions were asked and how to handle the HR stress test, watch this video till the end! 🔥 We cover the COMPLETE Process: ✅ Eligibility Criteria: Who can apply? (Age, CGPA, Branch) ✅ The Online Test (OT): Syllabus, pattern, and how to prepare for Aptitude vs. Technical. ✅ The Group Task (GT): How to stand out without shouting? (Real topics discussed!) ✅ Personal Interview (PI): The exact technical questions Nithin faced. ✅ HR & Situational Questions: How to answer "Why HPCL?" and "Why PSU over Private?" connect:   / adarsh_dadaa   https://www.linkedin.com/in/adarsh-du... 📚 Recommended Study Topics (Chemical Core & GATE) To crack the HPCL Technical Interview & CBT, you need to master these high-yield GATE subjects. Nithin was grilled on these specific concepts: 1. Fluid Mechanics (FM) - Most Important! Pumps: Centrifugal vs. Reciprocating, NPSH, Cavitation (Why it happens & how to prevent it), Priming. Flow Metering: Venturi meter, Orifice meter, Rotameter (Working principles). Boundary Layer Theory: Laminar vs. Turbulent flow, Reynolds Number significance. Valves: Gate, Globe, Ball, and Butterfly valves (Which one is for flow control?). 2. Heat Transfer (HT) Heat Exchangers: Shell & Tube vs. Plate Type, LMTD vs. NTU method, Fouling factors. Boiling & Condensation: Regimes of boiling (Nukiyama curve), Dropwise vs. Filmwise condensation. Laws: Fourier’s Law, Stefan-Boltzmann Law, Kirchoff’s Law. 3. Mass Transfer (MT) - The Interview Favorite Distillation: McCabe-Thiele Method, Reflux Ratio (Min vs. Optimum), Azeotropic vs. Extractive Distillation. Absorption/Adsorption: Differences, Packed columns vs. Tray columns. Drying: Rate of drying curve (Constant vs. Falling rate period). 4. Thermodynamics & CRE Laws: 2nd Law (Entropy), 3rd Law, Carnot Cycle, Rankine Cycle (for power plants). Reactors: CSTR vs. PFR (Conversion differences), Arrhenius Equation, Order of Reaction. 5. Oil & Gas / Petroleum Refining (Bonus for HPCL) Crude Oil Distillation: CDU vs. VDU units. Properties: Octane Number vs. Cetane Number, Flash Point vs. Fire Point. BS-VI Norms: What is the sulfur content limit in current fuels? 💡 Pro Tip for GATE Aspirants: HPCL questions are conceptual rather than numerical. Don't solve long 2-mark GATE problems; instead, focus on the theory behind the formula. Group Task Topic: Often revolves around Energy Security, Green Hydrogen, or Privatization of PSUs. #hpcl #nitrourkela #chemicalengineering #psujobs #PagalDada #placements #hindustanpetroleum #maharatna #govtjobs #gate2026 #interviewtips #campusplacement
