I explained them in detail about my project and my role in the project. They can ask anything regarding your project . They gave me pen and paper and asked me to explain the  project with diagrams, notations  . I drew the UML diagrams to explain  my project . There aim was to know how well I could explain my project on paper and they were quite impressed by my explanation. After this they asked me which language I usually code in.

Then, they asked me some non technical question viz. Why do you want to work with Siemens ? It was irrelevant from technical perspective but i gave them proper answer . Next, they asked me to draw the UML diagram of the room .I asked them which diagram they wanted and they said whichever I preferred. It took me 7-8 minutes to draw the class diagram. Then, he asked me to explain the relationships between the objects I drew for the above class diagram and why I choose the class names I had used etc. etc..
