Ashok leyland conducted campus recriutment for 3 colleges simultaneously and together..
one was our Rajalakshmi Engineering College...
The other two were Panimalar Engineering College & SVCE..
all the 3 coll had on-line test on 17th sep at panimalar campus...

mech and automobile students had 3 sections... 1.aptitude..
2.general maths & phy...
3.basic mech qns...

i,m not exactly sure of this pattern...

but we EEE guys had two sections in online test...
1.aptitude... - 30 mins - 60 qns..
2.basic EEE aptitude... - 30 mins - 40 qns..

both d sec were clubbed 2gether for a total duration of 60 mins...

and for the first time ASHLEY tried on with an ONLINE test...

only the aptitude part was really challenging...

it had simple logical reasoning qns only...

but the toughest part is to solve it in 30 seconds of time...

we had qns from
1.number series
2.odd man out
3.top,left & right view of an object
4.time
5.speed and distance
6.analogies
7.coding and decoding
8.non verbal reasoning type

after 30 mins of time, the aptitute section will automatically wind up to is next section...

the next part was basic EEE aptitude which was a little bit easier..

we had 2 solve 40 qns from 30 mins...
we basically had 90% of qns from machines and drives...
the others were from transformers,logic gates etc...


our college EEE had our ONLINE test around 3pm and by 6.30pm the shortlisted students were announced..

out of 182 eligible students from our coll, 16 of them were shortlisted including 4 EEE students, and i was one among them...!!!!

After a long waiting, i had my interview after 21 days on 9/10/10...

Being my first interview, i had all my nerves tickling throughout the day... we were asked to be there by 11am and i was the first person to be called in , by 11.45.....

the environment which i had was totally different from d one which i had imagined abt my interview...

there were 2 in the panel.. one was from HR and the other from technical...

I went in and wished them...
they wished me back and asked to take my seat..

HR : yes purushothaman... give a brief introduction abt urself, and abt ur family background...

HR : Why u had a shift from CBSE to STATE BOARD...??

Me : Sir we had an entrance exam for getting into 11th std.. And i was below the cut off.. so i had to choose a state board school nearby my home.. But at last i made up well with a pretty decent score in my 12th exam sir...

Hr : What is ur place of preference..???

Me : sir i,m comfortable at location, but my first preference is Chennai..

HR : In wat dept shall i place you???

Me : R&D sir...

HR : Ok.. Thank you purushothaman.. U may leave now...

I went in by 11.45 and came out by 12...
All of us had an very short interview of abt 15 to 20 mins..
I came back home and by 4.30 in the evening, i got a call from my placement officer that i got selected...

And yes.. it was one of my precious moments in my life....!!!

there is only one thing to keep in mind... just be yourself throughout the interview...

just prepare for all the possible questions from which u answer....

the best way to prepare is to write down all the points in a note whenever it comes in ur mind...
always be prepared for all the basic HR qns and also be prepared for ur inplant training, project, paper presentations, workshops etc....

Always have a smile in ur face and maintain eye contact throughout the interview... those were the things which i struggled to have during the initial period of my interview... and remember the interview qns might go anywhere at anytime depending upon ur answers...

everytime when i used 2 visit a blog for sample qns and interview experience of the selected students, i also wished to post my experience to this world in a useful tone 4 all the ppl...

And now by living up to all expectations, i m happy in sharing my experience to all of u ppl...

Always be positive and GOD will be on your side...!!
Cheers..!!!
Meet in you in ASHLEY..!!!!
