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.

Now I was the 1st candidate to be called 4 the HR interviewI must say one thing here.it was really stressful..watever I said,.the HR interviewer crossed men 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 MBTI 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 outto my utter surprise I found my name was the 1st to be announcedfriends m saying u here one thingthis kind of interview can happenthese 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.
