Round: Group Discussion
Experience: I think GD played a crucial role in my selection and gave me the upper hand over other candidates. We were 8 candidates in one group for GD. Before starting the actual group discussion HR asked us that “any one of you can stand up voluntarily and tell us about your college". Here I took the initiative and spoke about the MNIT (bit of history, about departments, about achievements of the college, about various technical and non-technical activities which was going on.) until HR stopped me.After that i started the Group discussion. I spoke 3 times in whole GD and concluded in the end as well.
Tips: 1. Try to take initiative and summarize the GD in the end as well.2. Speak confidently and politely 3. Listen curiously and showcase your leadership quality.4. Your thoughts should be loud and clear.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: As I was the Placement Coordinator also and was hosting their campus visit too, so i got an edge of it. In the interview first they asked me "Tell me about yourself & family background". Then they asked me "have you done any technical Projects?"
I told them about SAE Efficycle. Then they asked me "what do you excite in Automobile industry?" I told them about Latest technology and SUVs. Then they asked about what are the latest technologies in Automobile industries. I told them about CRDI & VVT. Then they asked me if I give 5 lacs rupees and ask you to buy a car which parameters you will look as a mechanical engineers? Then they ask me about Turbocharger? Then they try to puzzle me. They ask me that if we give you the “HR” profile will you accept it? I said no. I told them according to my qualification, I fit to a technical profile and it also excites me. Here they were basically cross-checking me interest.

3. Be confident & genuine in interview , don’t just give abrupt answer, if you don’t know the answer then tell them that I don’t know the answer or I am not recalling it.4.ata Motors they haven't asked about summer training to me. But, most of the companies do strongly focus on summer training. So I would suggest you to do your summer training genuinely and learn as much as you can.
