Sample Answer
The project I’m proudest of was supporting a 9‑month rollout of a new internal ticketing tool for about 800 employees across 5 locations. My biggest achievement was cutting adoption issues dramatically in the first 60 days. Early pilots showed nearly 40% of tickets were being logged incorrectly, which slowed everything down. I took ownership of the onboarding experience: I analyzed the first 500 tickets, identified the top three failure patterns, and redesigned the training and quick-reference guides around real examples. I also set up 15‑minute virtual office hours twice a week during the first month. Within six weeks, misrouted tickets dropped from 40% to under 8%, and average resolution time improved by 25%. The PM called out that change as the main reason we didn’t need an additional support headcount during go-live.

On your resume you mention working on a cross-functional project (e.g., involving multiple teams or stakeholders). Describe a situation from that project where priorities conflicted—how did you navigate the trade-offs and what was the final outcome?
Walk me through a recent multi-channel digital marketing campaign you managed end-to-end. How did you set objectives, choose channels, allocate budget, and measure success?
In your civil engineering studies, what specific design coursework or project work did you complete related to irrigation channels or canals (e.g., design of lined/unlined canals, distributaries, minors)? Describe one such design in detail, including how you determined discharge, permissible velocity, section dimensions, and lining choice for Gujarat-type soil and climate conditions.
Based on your hydrology and irrigation engineering background, explain how you would estimate the irrigation water requirement for a kharif crop in a semi-arid region of Gujarat. Walk me through each step: from reference evapotranspiration estimation, crop coefficient selection, effective rainfall calculation, to arriving at canal discharge for a given command area.
In your resume you note improving or optimizing [a process, KPI, or metric]. What specific baseline metrics did you start from, what steps did you personally take, and how did you verify that the improvement was due to your changes rather than external factors?
