I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ALSTOM in Aug 2014
Interview
After the shortlisting 23 candidates through written test the personal interview consisted of two people an HR individual and a technical guy they asked questions about yourself, family background the technical questions were mainly from the training and projects which i did in my 3rd yr of engineering they also asked my favourite subject and then asked a few questions from it
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not any in particular but were keen to know how did you apply your knowledge of engineering in your training
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 university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ALSTOM (Chennai) in Sept 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.
