On the same day, pymetrics test link was sent to the selected candidates. It is a game-based assessment consisting of 12 games. It tests the numerical and logical reasoning of the candidate to assess one's behaviour. Elimination for further rounds was done through this test too.
Description of Technical Interview:
(For internship)
It was like a rapid fire round, in my case. Initially, we were informed that they would be hiring for both hardware and software roles. But no clarity was given on who would be having interviews for which role. In my case, as I am from EEE, questions were covered from software, hardware and electrical questions. The following are the questions:
1)What is a pointer?
2) What is bit field?
3)Difference between BJT and MOSFET
4)What is a pre processor?
5)Why do we use voltage regulator?
6)Different parts of DC motor
7)Different data structures and uses
8)Which field are you interested to work in?
And depending on the answers, further explanation was asked. But the interviewer was so cool and asked questions only based on the previous semesters’ knowledge at that point of time.
(For PPO)
After my two month internship in the company, I had a technical interview based on my project in those two months and a few situation based questions. I had done my internship in hardware role and the project was "Battery Health Monitoring for Darwin Anesthesia Machine". This interview was taken by an external(outside GE) person. The questions were:
1) What was your project about?
2) What did you learn from your project?(detailed explanation)
3)What would you do to improve the current project?
4)How is the work culture in GE?
5)What is your biggest weakness?(it led to multiple questions)
A few situation based questions like
"If you were given a task and you do not know anything about it, how would you move forward?"
"Do you believe in team work? And would you help your teammates with their work?"
"Who is more important to you, family or company?" ( prolonged for lot of time)
Description of HR Round:
(For internship)
1)Tell us about yourself
2)What do you know about GE Healthcare?
3) What did you find interesting in GE healthcare?
4)What are the projects you have finished?
5)Have you ever fought with your peers and how did you resolve it?
6)What are your strengths and weaknesses?
7)What are your areas of interest?

3)How was your interaction with the other employees?
4)What did you like in GE Healthcare?
5)Why do you think we should hire you among all the other candidates?
6)Do you have any other plans like M.S. or further studies?
A few logical questions like " How do you divide a paper into 3 parts without using anything?"
Preparation Strategy:
For bagging an internship, after B.Tech 2nd year, the summer break should be utilised well. Doing courses and projects related to your area of interest will help you improve your skills and build a good resume. Adding to that, it gives you confidence while facing the internship session pressure. For software preparation, one can improve upon themselves, by practicing and coding more problems, optimising at each step, each day. For hardware preparation, in analog and digital electronics having basic knowledge and good notes from the earlier semesters would be sufficient. Practice and revision, both, should be in hand for any preparation.
Resources:
For software preparation, leetcode provides a lot of problems ranging from easy to medium to hard.

Additional info for our viewers:
Small improvements can bring big change- I believe in this. Beginning of any new activity always stimulates fear. And having fear is completely normal, but one needs to maintain fear as well as confidence in equal ratio, to get one's maximum output. And there is no late point to start preparation. Learning is a continuous process. Do not lose the hope in you due to the external pressure. Keep your calm and do your best.
