Topic: Shell Recruitment 2012

I've gotten it!

Hi guys. I heard someone say here that last year about 70,000 guys wrote the test, I doubt. In my batch in lag we were about 280, the hall had capacity for at most 300 guys. Given 3 batches daily that would amount to about 900, given 5 days testing in lag, that would amount to about 4500 persons. My guy in ph says his batch had like 500 guys. Going by similar logic ph should produce like 1500 guys per day and 7500 through 5 days. Thus through the whole exercise, all things being equal we should be looking at about 12,000 guys. 70,000 guys at this rate will take at least 10 weeks to finish testing.

A friend of mine who made it to the SRD last year said they were about 1300 guys who made it to the interview stage. This figure looks quite big to me especially as only about 10 guys attend the SRD per day. 1300 guys across lag, ph and warri will take at least 40 days to interview. Can anyone from last batch corroborate this for me? Any fairly accurate idea how many guys made it to the interview stage last year?

Good luck to fellas still testing. Check out careers.total.com. I think they are recruiting. I applied for Reservoir Engineer. There are a number of vacancies there for guys with 0 t0 5 years experience.

@Makeway2029,250 t0 300 applicants did SRD last year (2012) for technical graduates. Shell cant invite 1300 applicants to SRD because it is very time consuming. An average of about 6 to 8 people are interviewed per day per centre. All the best to NHJ guys!

Verbal was okay....The spatial questions are folding and unfolding of cubes style questions. The numerical part can b time consuming so work very fast and accurately. I hope this will help others that re yet to write.

Pls those dat hav written, any hope for Gate-crashers?.....Pls reply ASAP!
