Adani Group

Adani's campus hiring is structured and completes within a day or two; lateral hiring is interview-led and usually takes two to five weeks depending on the business.

1. Application and shortlisting

Apply through campus placement, the Adani careers portal or a job portal such as Jobaaj. GET and management trainee drives specify eligible branches or streams and a minimum academic record; lateral roles are shortlisted on relevant industry experience.

2. Online assessment

Campus candidates take an online test covering aptitude, reasoning, English and a technical or domain section. Some businesses add a psychometric questionnaire to assess working style and resilience.

3. Group discussion or case exercise

Management trainee and some GET drives include a group discussion or a short case on an infrastructure or business topic, assessed for structure, communication and teamwork.

4. Technical or functional interview

Senior engineers or functional heads interview you on core subjects, projects, internships and practical scenarios from the business you are being considered for, such as port operations, power plants, solar parks or cement plants.

5. HR and leadership interview

An HR partner, sometimes with a business leader, discusses mobility, site postings, values and long-term intent. For senior lateral hires this becomes a leadership panel.

6. Offer, medical and onboarding

Selected candidates receive an offer, complete a pre-employment medical check and background verification, and trainees join an induction and rotation programme.

Campus candidates typically face three or four rounds; lateral candidates two or three interviews plus HR. Technical rounds are practical and site-oriented.

Round 1: Online aptitude and technical test

A proctored test of around 60 to 90 minutes. The technical section follows your branch; management trainees get a business-awareness and data-interpretation section instead.

• Quantitative aptitude, reasoning and English
• Branch fundamentals such as power systems, structures, thermodynamics or process engineering
• Data interpretation and business awareness for MT roles

Round 2: Group discussion

Ten to fifteen minutes in groups of eight to ten on an infrastructure, energy or economy topic. Assessors reward clear reasoning and constructive contribution.

• Renewable energy transition in India
• Privatisation of ports and airports
• Infrastructure spending and economic growth

Round 3: Technical or functional interview

A 30 to 45 minute panel with senior engineers or managers. Expect fundamentals, numericals and practical questions on plant or site scenarios.

• Electrical: transformers, switchgear, transmission losses, solar inverters
• Mechanical or chemical: boilers, turbines, material handling, cement kilns
• Civil: marine structures, earthwork, project scheduling and quality

Round 4: HR and values interview

A conversation on adaptability, willingness to relocate to remote sites, safety mindset and alignment with the group's values of courage, trust and commitment.

• Why Adani and why infrastructure
• Willingness to work at ports, plants or project sites
• A time you took ownership under pressure

Round 5: Leadership panel for lateral hires

Senior lateral candidates meet a business head to discuss execution track record, leadership style and how they would handle scale and speed.

• Largest project or operation you have led
• Managing contractors, regulators and communities
• Views on the business's growth plans
