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!!!!
