Graduate Program selection

In November/December we start visiting Tier 1 and 2 engineering campuses across India. The selection process is designed to ensure we find candidates who excel technically and align with our company culture. It starts with a written test to assess problem-solving abilities and critical thinking skills, ensuring a solid foundation in your area of expertise. Following this, candidates participate in a group activity that will provide the opportunity to showcase team building and leading skills to evaluate how well they can collaborate and contribute to shared goals.

The final portion of the selection process will consist of interviews to provide an opportunity to delve deeper into candidates' technical skills, academic projects, and experience. This stage helps the industry experts at AtkinsRéalis identify innovative thinkers who can bring fresh perspectives to real-world challenges.

Fresher program framework

The two-year program starts in July/August and follows four phases. Each stage takes you along a path of logical development:

• Induction: An overview of the organization and our engineering projects

Graduate project

Year after year, the highlight of the GDP is the Graduate Project, based on an AtkinsRéalis project delivery simulation.
