They took interview for about 1 hours. The following are the questions which I remember.
Ashok Gobburu

They didnt ask me questions regarding resume, B.Tech/M.Tech Projects.

They just asked me, Which subjects you would like to discuss with us
I replied, Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer
They mainly asked questions related to FLUID MECHANICS

Technical
Fluid Mechanics:
1. About Pumps
a. Types
b. Working principles
c. Pumps used for high viscous fluid/low viscous fluid/corrosive fluid etc.
d. Pumps used for high/low pressure/flow rate
e. Bernoullis equation
f. Different types of friction losses in transporting fluid through pumps (Ke,Kc,hfs)
g. Pump curves
h. Key features of Positive Displacement Pumps and Centrifugal Pumps
i. Affinity laws
j. What happens if discharge valve of positive displacement pump and centrifugal
pumps is closed
k. Where do you use positive displacement pumps and centrifugal pumps
l. Cross section of the volute in centrifugal pump and why like that
2. Newtons law of Viscosity
3. What is viscosity
4. Effect of temperature on viscosity of gases and liquids. Also effect of molecular
weight/temperature on the viscosity of gases
5. Velocity profile for flow through annular space
6. Fully developed flow in a pipe and its velocity profile
7. Effect of viscosity of fluid on the transition length
8. Friction factor - definition
9. Moody chart
