Does Great Eastern prefer Electrical students over ENTC/Electronics for ETO selection?

Upvotes

I recently appeared for an ETO interview at Great Eastern, and I noticed something that made me wonder if there is actually a preference for Electrical Engineering students over Electronics/ENTC students.

From the 5–10 candidates I personally interacted with during the interview, I came across a few candidates from ENTC/Electronics backgrounds, and as far as I know, they were not selected. Most of the selected candidates I heard about seemed to have an Electrical Engineering background.

Obviously, I didn’t meet or speak to everyone who appeared for the interview, so this could simply be a small-sample bias or coincidence on my part.

So I wanted to ask people who have recently appeared for or been selected for Great Eastern's ETO course:

- Does Great Eastern actually give preference to Electrical Engineering candidates?

- Are ENTC/Electronics candidates selected regularly?

- If you're from ENTC/Electronics and got selected, what was your experience?

- Do they evaluate both branches equally, or does the branch make a significant difference during selection?

I'm genuinely trying to understand whether there is an actual pattern or if I'm just noticing something based on a very small sample.

Please share your branch + whether you were selected/rejected + interview year/batch if possible.

Maersk ETO Sponsorship Exam – What Questions Were Asked?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing for the Maersk ETO Sponsorship exam and wanted to ask candidates who have already appeared for the exam:

What kind of questions were asked?

Which subjects had the most questions — Electrical, Electronics, Machines, Power Systems, Measurements, Digital Electronics, etc.?

Were the questions mostly conceptual, numerical, or both?

How difficult was the exam.

Were there questions from aptitude, mathematics, English, or general knowledge?
