Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Initial shortlisting was done on the basis of resume submission. I got a CGPA of 8.20/10.
Round: Test
Experience: There was an online Logical , Quants & Technical test
Tips: I didn't. I used educated guesses to sneak through. It would have helped if I would have revised KDOMS, some Stress/Strain Equations, and Basic Engineering Drawing Techniques.
Duration: 45 min minutes
Round: Interview
Experience: There were two rounds of interviews ;50 mins Tech, 25 mins HR. They asked about Engineering Drawing, the work I did at my 6 months intern, my stint as a Coord and Core, a few questions on my perception of fair play and honesty, what would I do in my first 30 days if the company recruits me? In short, the tech round was more like a pseudo HR round for me.
Round: Interview
Tips: I had attended several other interviews before this one that helped. I had asked a few of my friends to conduct mock interviews for me. So was reasonably well prepared (at least for the HR part). I was pretty straightforward and honest in my answers. I remember I got pretty sentimental talking about honesty, and that perhaps worked in my favour.
Skill Tips: Projects give us an edge during the interviews. You will have sufficient stuff to talk about.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I have a CGPA 7.38.
Round: Test
Experience: There was an online objective test
Tips: Previous year IIT Gate book is the best thing to prepare for the technical test for any company. I started doing it in October only.
Duration: 80 min minutes
Round: Interview
Experience: There were two rounds of interview ; 30min for Tech and 10 min HR.
Tips: If you are in ED they will test your basic design skills. They showed a CAD drawing and asking the meaning of symbols, then they asked questions related to general designs available in our surroundings like why is that sewage hole round on the ground why not square or others. If you are in Mechanical, they will ask u core Mech subjects. So please first prepare very well subjects related to your respective interns. A whole interview can be drawn on that. In my case it was IC engine so I answered all the questions related to it and that didn't allow them to ask in any other topic.
Round: Interview
Experience: It was gen. All HR rounds just want to test how much positive you are in life, whether you will leave the company soon.
Tips: Be prepared with answers beforehand. The answers to all the above questions should be "depends on the
situation" and describe them in which situation u will choose which one. PS: if it’s a panel where HR is also there, they will try to excite you by asking gen questions like which team you support in IPL, do u have any gf etc. to make you lite, then again shoot you with some questions. Please don’t get deviated by those.
Skill Tips: Mock tests, Aimcats, Gate book. For GDs, we organised them in our wing. It was very helpful.
Kindly do it often in your wing and among your batch mates too. Same goes for interview. There
are lots of general interview questions available on FTP server, prepare for them well and have
mock interviews. "Alumni interviews" were very helpful, please attend that. Randstad sessions were an absolutely waste of money and time. I was mainly selected due to my internship with Bosch. Prepare all subjects related to your intern. It will be the game changer.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: There was a test based shortlisting. The test was objective had two sections. The first section had 60 aptitude questions which were very easy and the time was 60 minutes. The second section was technical(core) which had 30 questions which needed to be answered in 30 minutes.
This sections had 3-4 questions from important topics like Strength of Materials, Fluid Mech, Man Tech, KDOMS ,DOME, etc
Duration: 90 minutes
Round: Interview
Experience: The company wanted to acquire members for Manufacturing and R&D. The interviewer asked me basic questions in Man Tech like different types of Manufacturing (conventional and non-conventional). As I told him that I was interested in automobiles, he asked me about the engine and its parts, their materials, etc. A CAD drawing was shown to me to test the basic symbols like roughness parameters, etc.
Round: Interview
Experience: It was like a normal HR round with nothing radical. Basic preparation to questions like tell me about yourself, biggest achievement, strengths,weakness, etc is enough. Confidence is another important aspect they were looking for.
General Tips: Started my preparation in October but never really took off until November. It may help immensely to start early because as placements draw close, it may be tough to find time to study decently owing to tests and ppts. Also, I didn't prepare for non-core companies, but wrote the tests to improve my experience and speed in quant.
Skill Tips: Brushed up basics of all mechanical courses and prepared for HR questions. It is better to target certain companies,prepare according to each, rather than going for every company that appears on the portal. I prepared from GATE book which covers almost all topics. The lectures from placement preparation website also helped. The aptitude questions were very easy and basic quant preparation is sufficient. As I didn't write CAT, had to adjust to the time limit in the written tests. It is better to practice quant papers for improving the speed. GATE book and placement preparation website were sufficient for core fundaes. Had GDs with wingmates.

Round: Interview
Experience: Interview lasted for 50 minutes. I was grilled on the two internships that I had done during last two summers. And about 15 minutes of grilling on a self study course -CNC Machining just because I happened to be the class rep. There was a single guy questioning and not a panel which is good in some ways. He asked me if I had good quantitative skills. I replied yes. And then he asked a lot of math puzzles. Nothing too tough.
Tips: Just go through placement materials. Make sure you have a core resume for and you are thorough with everything you have written. Be prepared for anything. Learn the basics of important topic and practice some online core tests.SoM, IC engines, Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, Mantech, TurboMachinery should be prepared properly . And also, be perfect on the projects and intern described in the resume.

Skill Tips: I think I was selected because of my performance in both the rounds. Throughout both the interviews they were more concerned about leading and managing people.
