College Name: NIT Bhopal

Round: Test
Experience: The test was conducted by cocubes in general was not very difficult and was comprised of questions from Indiabix etc. One has to keep up the pace as there is a chance of running out of time. The technical section was a bit tricky and candidates preparing for GATE will have an edge. The questions covers various fields such as RAC, IC engines, Manufacturing, TOM, SOM etc.

There is sectional cutoff in each section so mind it while attempting. There was no negative marking.Students who clear the aptitude round will proceed to the Psychometric test and giving honest answers is the key to crack this round.
Tips: Brush up your technical skills as well as your aptitude. Practice a lot to improve your precision and speed. A mechanical engineering handbook can be kept handy which will help in facing the technical MCQs.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: After the Psychometric round 25 students were shortlisted and on the day of our interview we had to face a subjective technical written test for further shortlisting. The written test had GATE level subjective questions and we had 1 hour to solve 12 questions. They were looking for your approach to solve the questions rather than focusing on the answers.

13 students were further shortlisted and we had the technical interview. We were very fortunate to have the VP of the Mahindra Research Valley as our interviewer. Questions were mainly internship and project related and some questions on IC engines, Manufacturing etc. Since M&M is extensively working on Hybrid and EVs so the candidates general outlook and knowledge on the various innovations being done in the field of Clean Vehicles were also tested. The interview environment was very friendly. You may also be asked to solve some problems on a whiteboard.

Tips: Get updated with the various innovations in the automotive sector happening around. Be very thorough with your subjects and your internships. Try to focus on what you learnt from your project and It's practical implications.

PS:- An online interview was scheduled for us as is usually done by M&M but due to some reasons it did not happen in our case.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR interview was telephonic and lasted about 7-10 mins. Some basic HR questions and some questions related to B.tech projects were asked. This was an elimination round as well.
