TechMahindra(MBT) Paper General - Interview Datta Meghe College of Engg.,Airoli - 15 February 2007 Paper - 28

1. ONLINE Aptitude test
2. Technical Interview
3. HR Interview

There were totally 160 candidates in all. Out of these 80 got selected for the Technical and 48 for the HR. Finally 46 got selected which was, a history created in DATTA MEGHE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING.

Aptitude includes five sections:

1 . English (Comprehension, fill in the blanks,etc-3_sections)

2 . Puzzles and logical reasoning (verbal and non verbal-2_sections)

Since the apti was ONLINE be careful to ask the rules from the person describing it. It happened that some didn’t knew the rules and got disqualified there. According to ours the rules were :

A user id and password will be given to you to establish your link to the paper. You are first required to enter personal details then a page displaying five links appear as was ours .
Then click on a link but be careful because if you don’t like it you won’t get another chance to solve it.
After completing a link go to OK then FINISH. Then comes the home page where you can establish the second link.
Just remember to note down your answers as well as the links you complete.
Don’t worry for the questions because they are very easy and some basic problems from S.DEVI and GEORGE J. SUMMERS will built up your basic. The English is the most easiest part so try completing it faster. No individual cut offs were there.

Then there was the technical. The person there was very helpful and kind. He continuously appreciated me for whatever I said. The technical comprised of mostly HR questions and he may tell you to write one or two C-Programs. Be careful to update yourself with the current affairs. If you don’t know something admit it but never bluff. If you cleared the technical 90 percent of the job is done. If your performance is very good enough in technical your HR will just be a formality for you as it was mine though they don’t disclose to you.

MBT PAPER ON 21st MARCH AT KOLKATA



Hi,
I am Indradeep,…..recently I have been recruited from NIT Kolkata by Tech Mahindra(MBT),I am a third year electrical engg student and as you know it,s a tough competition for us to enter the IT industry. I am trying to narrate my experience during the process which can give u a fair idea of the selection process
i) Initial screening(60% in 10th ,12th and B-Tech)
ii) Aptitude Test(74 cleared this test)
iii) Technical Interview(52 cleared the technical round)
iv) HR Interview.(39 people got through the HR round)



APTITUDE TEST:

It consisted of 5 sections each with atleast 10 questions while one or two sections contained 20 questions.There were altogether 75 questions which u have to answer in 1 hr only(remember time is very very imp in this round).The sections were:

a) Verbal reasoning and analytical

b) Non verbal reasoning and analytical

c) MCQ-questions based on English grammar(very easy)

d) English comprehension…( Do it at last..coz it consumes time)

e)…..something related to puzzles(easy ones)

Through prep from RS Aggarwal(verbal,non-verbal,quantitave) is enough to pass the aptitude test besides having minimum base in english.

Anyway the result was declared within 40 mins and luckily I was selected.



Now m briefing the q-ans session in my technical interview in direct speech.

Technical interview:

Interviewer:T ell me something abt urself

HR interview:..

Now I was the 1st candidate to be called 4 the HR interview……I must say one thing here….it was really stressful…..watever I said,.the HR interviewer crossed me…n even rebuked me down to dust at the slightest pretext…..this harrassment contd 4 around 15 mins…..wen finally he said me..m not eligible enough 4 MBT…I never got tensed..even with dat remark….through out I kept my cool with a smiling face..n some answers wich though never seemed to impress him…….

Later wen the results were out…to my utter surprise I found my name was the 1st to be announced………friends m saying u here one thing…this kind of interview can happen…these interviews are called negative interview….watever u tell..they will cross u….but never ever lose ur cool or show any temper..or cry in front of them….

Now..friends………all the best to u all…..n hope u will make it soon to MBT (Tech Mahindra)….

TECH MAHINDRA PAPER ON 27th FEBRUARY Hi friends.... I am Supratim (3rd year EE) from BPPIMT Kolkata. 0n 27 th Feb Tech Mahindra came to our colg. for on campusing. The campusing procedure start ed arround 10 am with the ppt. They showed an awsome video presentation followed by a powerpoint presentation. In those they showed the growth rate of the company, it,s mission, vision, work culture etc. Some employee,s experiences were also there. It may be fruitful to note some points from the ppt for the interviews. The ppt was followed by an online aptitude test. There were total 75 questions divided into 5 sections. The total time was 1 hour. 1st part - quanti (20 questions) 2nd part - logical reasoning(20 questions) 3rd part - english grammer(10 questions) 4th part - english antonim & synonyms(15 questions) 5th part - english reading comprehension(10 questions) For first two parts prepare from R.S Agarwal. In the 4 th part a part of line was underlined which was to be changed by one out of 5 sollutions. All the questions were not very tough but time management was the prime factor. No negetive marking was there so try to answer as many as you can because sectional cut off is there. Be careful about not clicking a section you have allready answered otherwise it will be refreshed and all answers you made will be gone. Out of more than 100 students 52 were cleared in the technical round. They were given a form to fill up for interviews. My technical interview started at 6-30 pm. It was actually a technical and HR interview together. Questions were like----- Give me your introduction. What are your subjects of preference? Tell me what you know about C WHat is the difference between C & C++ ? What is link list? Describe on paper. Types of link list. Insertion & deletion from it. Questions from stack , sorting and searching were also asked. Some fundamental C questions were also there. Then the man started to ask me questions of HR like my long time and short time goals, my strengths, college activities, if i get the job and someone talks negetive about me, my senior is not pleased with me etc. These all are asked to check my attitude and ability to handle pressure situation. After that I was told to wait for the HR interview. Out of 52 students 41 were selected for the HR round. Tech Mahindra has a reputation of not rejecting much in the HR round. My HR interview started at 9 pm. The interview lasted for about 5 minutes. Believe me friends it was a cakewalk. The result was out at 11-15 pm. All 41 students who passed the technical round were selected. I was one of the lucky 41 students.

Whole Testpaper Calcutta Inst. of Engg. & Mgmt., Kolkata - 28 February 2007 Paper - 8

TECH MAHINDRA PAPER ON 28th FEBRUARY AT KOLKATA Hi! I am in 6th semester, EE. Tech Mahindra came for our on campusing on 28th feb. Eligibility criteria was 60% throughout academics. It was my very 1st interview. Around 10 a.m., they gave a ppt first, then there was an online aptitude test. It had 5 sections, 3 on english & 1 on verbal & non-verbal each. No sectional cut-off, no sectional time limit, no negative marking. Sections on english r pretty easy, n if u r a bit more than avg in english, u can make most of it like I did. U HAV TO PLAN & MANAGE TIME AS IT IS MOST CRUCIAL. Though they didn,t declared the cut-off officially, U HAV TO SCORE AROUND 50 to clear the apti. I was one of the 41 out of 198 who cleared the apti. Result was declared around 2-30 p.m. Then we had to fill up a form and was called for technical interview serially. Technical interview was really TECHNICAL for CSE & IT guys! It was easier for EC & EE guys, in fact 1 from each were asked only HR Qs. It basically depends on ur luck that who interview u. Make sure that u know exactly what u hav written in ur resume. Questions will be based on ur resume. Almost all were asked to write codes. My turn came around 7-30 p.m. My interviewer was a lady. Qs were: 1. Tell about urself 2. Asked about family background 3. Whar r ur current semester papers? 4. U r from EE, so draw a circuit of a room having 2 lights n 1 fan 5. Ur ckt doesn,t show direction of current, Why? 6. Why don,t u connect lights in series? 7. Told parameters in ckt,n asked to determine othr parameters 8. What is the basic science in case of lighting of a bulb? 9. Why the color of light of CFL n streetlamps r different? 10. Suppose u r batting. While hitting the ball Newton,s which law is being applied? Surprisingly, I was not asked to write any code, or anything related to computers. So, be ready with basic concepts, n be ready to improvise ur answers. COMMUNICATION IS VERY MUCH IMPORTANT ALL THE WAY. I was almost immediately selected for HR round. Be cool n confident n u will go thru it. 22 were selected after technical, i.e, 19 were eliminated. I was called for HR interview at around 9-30 p.m. HR: Well, what does ur name mean? God,s favourite person? Then who can stop u?(hehehe) Me: Hope so, Sir! HR: Asked about school Me: ......... HR: What is ur expectations at Tech Mahindra? Me: ....(THIS IS A USUAL HR QUESTION, SO GAVE A SHOT) HR: Its been a long day, r u feeling tired? Me: Yes, a little bit, but its OK.. HR: (Even before I finished) Look, this is ur 1st interview. Even if u r not selected for Tech Mahindra, u can make to bigger n better companies. But u hav to change ur attitude. In industry u hav to be always on edge, meet project deadlines. I can,t afford to have a lazy lad like u there! (I WAS STUNNED! We were in the campus for around 13 hours then. I just can,t say after a l-o-n-g day that I,m thriving with energy. That sounds an out and out lie. I must sound genuine. I said I was tired but I could overcome it. That was the BEST POSSIBLE ANSWER of that Q at that situation. I felt I might have just lost it, but reorganized myself for the rest.) Me: I,ll remember ur words n change myself, Sir! HR: OK, Why did u choose electrical as ur stream? Me: .............. HR: Electrical keno nile boloto?(hehe) (Repeated the same Q, this time in bengali) (TRAP: Whatever language HR speaks, U HAV TO SPEAK ENGLISH. One fall in this trap n received the lesson of his lifetime.) Me: Repeated my answer.. HR: Do u want to ask anything? Me: If I,m selected, what actually will I hav to do? HR: Coding.. Me: Will all the skill sets required be taught at training? HR: affirmative nod of head.. Me: OK, Sir! Thank U! HR: Wait for result.. Though that TIRED Q in HR, I was 50% hopeful to get the offer letter as the HR continued the interview for a fair amount of time after that n told me to wait n Tech Mahindra has a reputation for not eliminating in the HR. Offer letters were distributed at 10-30 p.m. To my despair, I did not receive any. 18 were given offer letters, so apart from me 3 othr were also eliminated in HR. All 4 were from EC n EE.... I feel they prefer CS n IT guys over EC n EE guys!!!!
