There were some others questions but I don’t remember right now as 7 to 8 years have been passed since my interview.

Recommendations:

If you are preparing for interview, I am recommending you some topic which must be prepared before interview. As we know that most of interview have been held by most senior management of Wapda so they ask questions typical related to their strong side. You should prepare following topics:

• Power Transformers, Types, Vector group, Tap Changers, Losses, different test of Transformers, Insulation etc.
• Power Factor Improvement Methods, Lagging, Leading Concept.
• Power Triangle Concept
• Protection Relays basics and its function and applications
• HV Breakers Types, application, working principle
• Bus Bar Schemes

Conclusion:

Your preparation gives you confidence and you don’t need to be worried about the result. Your dressing and overall physical appreance will give you confidence in interview so never compromise on it. Just present yourself an ideal candidate for this position but avoid over confidence which could spoil your all efforts.

Best wishes for you.
