Round: Test Experience: Written round followed by interview.
Round: Other Interview Experience: 13 were selected for interview and 5 got placed.
General Tips: Bajaj was really an easy experience. In contrast to the internship interviews I had attended from ITC and Godrej the experience here was much less challenging. Skill Tips: Be yourself. Do not hype up anything about you. It is ok to answer- I don't know once in a while during the interview than beat around the bush. Those written rounds that have negative marks, attempt only those questions you are sure of getting. Have seen many who have missed out because of heavy negative negating their positives.

Round: Test Experience: First round was a Written test
Round: Other Interview Experience: After that was 1 round of personal interview.
General Tips: It was rewarding. Projects like Bajaj which are very specific to the field of automobiles Helped in a big way. Also, one round of interview made the process easier and enjoyable. Skill Tips: Brush up formulae from Gate books. Keep your resume ready and printed. Go through the project reports and industrial training reports. Shortlist which are your courses of interest and revise only those courses and Keep calm! College Name: NIT SURATHKAL
Round: Test Experience: There is a MCQ test of about 40 questions I think in which half the questions are Mechanical Engineering knowledge while the other half is general and math aptitude. The main problem in this test is that there are negatives if you get the question wrong due to which you should tread very carefully. Here, I would like to note that the Mechanical Engineering part can be quite hard if you are unprepared. But the general aptitude questions, while not very easy, are nothing out of the ordinary. So, my suggestion would be to seriously attempt the aptitude questions andspend lesser time on the Mechanical Engineering questions. Total Questions: 40
Round: Other Interview Experience: Around 20 people are selected for the interview round from around 120 who write the test. There is only 1 round of interviews for Bajaj from which they take around 5 people (thesenumbers have remained about the same for a few years). The interview itself will be based onwhat area of Mechanical Engineering, as chosen by you, is your strength. Alternatively theymight quiz you on your summer projects. In my case however, almost the entire interview wasbased on my work in NITKRacing. And from my experience as well as from what I heard fromothers, being a part of any wing of NITKRacing is a big positive especially for Bajaj.
General Tips: Nothing much to say except not underestimate your chances of getting into the company in question. This confidence of yours could reflect in the interview. Skill Tips: Some aptitude question a day or two before the test day could help shed some of the rust that you might have accumulated. As far as Mechanical Engineering knowledge goes, there is nothing much you can do in the last few days. You should either have an excellent memory or have been preparing for placements for quite some time. College Name: NIT SURATHKAL Motivation: Bajaj was the first company to come for placements for Mechanical Engineering students just a week after vacations. Hence there was barely any time to settle down and prepare in any way. Also, it has one of the shortest recruiting procedures with just 1 round each of interview and test. So, it all got over quite quickly for me to realize. But the one overwhelming experience was of anxiety, especially when you clear the test that you did not expect yourself to. If you got from 120 to 20 students unexpectedly, you are EXTREMELY anxious to get to that lucky 5 so that you don't have to go through all that again, which fortunately, is what happened.
Round: Test Experience: Written test followed by an interview.
Round: Other Interview Experience: They sent me out of interview room in just 5 minutes because I was unable to answer the question they asked. Tips: Read about your industrial training and internships; it is very important.
General Tips: Bajaj comes in the very beginning of the final year. I was well prepared for the rejection because I was not prepared at all. Skill Tips: I did not know anything about my industrial training because I had not done it seriously and since I was not prepared.
