Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Had a lot of technical stuff in the resume and edited out the co-curriculars. But I guess was shortlisted based on my performance in the test, as a lot of others with stronger resumes (technically) were not shortlisted.
Tips: GE while shortlisting engineering talent at IIT's doesn't care much about the extra-curriculars. And we tend to have a lot of them on our resumes. Would suggest emphasizing the projects done and the impact of those in the resumes.

Round: Test
Experience: The test was basically around the fundamentals of Mechanical Engg. Not very difficult but tested the candidate on fundamental concepts.
Tips: A basic prep of relevant coursework should suffice.

Round: Interview
Experience: A lot of emphasis on my coursework and Dual Degree Project. Most of the discussion revolved around the DDP and adjacent fields. Apart from the technical details the interviewer curious about the impact that the project would finally create. This, as I understand now, is a requirement for the profile we're hired into.
Some guys had two rounds of technical interviews but in my case the interviewer after one round had made it very clear that I had got the job. I later understood that most of the people had two rounds and very few had a single round.
Tips: Steer the discussion toward your strengths. The interviewers are generally very friendly, but don't bullshit them as most of them are individuals who occupy engineering leadership roles at GE's Bangalore Center.
Be prepared to do some math on a paper, I was asked to formulate some of the stuff I was talking about my DDP. If you don't know something it is better to shut up than speculate.

Round: Interview
Experience: Was basically a formality, the interviewer chatted for a while about what I had done at IIT, what I liked/disliked about my college. Asked me to rate myself on a few things. Asked my rationale behind the evaluation.
Tips: In my opinion the HR interview is just a show. The technical interview IS the interview. If get that right you're through.

General Tips: If you're technically sound should not be difficult to crack this.
College Name: IIT Madras
Motivation: The EEDP program is a good profile for people who're interested to pursue careers in engineering. GE as an engineering brand is huge.

Tips: Kind of said above,  Make sure bring Edison in conversation they like to hear about it

Round: Interview
Experience: They were looking for depth rather than width of your knowledge. They want derivations not final results, even of you make a mistake they'll help you rectify that. Just show your enthusiasm for Mechanical Engineering.
Tips: IT's going to be the deciding factor as only those who clear technical round will be called for HR. If your performance is good in tech interview than HR will be a cakewalk else it will be trickier.Please give in 3 days preparation for subject you like and 3 hrs for reading about GE. Try to integrate your subject expertise to their products...... might sound a bit too much but they have so many, you could find one and .... you're through...ALL THE BEST....
