Answer / campusmantra

The public sector undertakings in India recruit candidates on the basis of :-
1) GATE Score
2) On-campus recruitment drive where they shortlist students on their CGPA(mostly NITs and IITs)

However, the recruitment procedure is the same in both cases.

You can go through the following link for a comprehensive description of recruitment procedure of various PSUs such as BPCL, Coal India Ltd. etc. :
( https://campusmantra.blogspot.in/2017/03/bpcl-interview-experience.html )

This link is of BPCL but you can find other ones as well on www.campusmantra.blogspot.com

Hope this will be of help :)
