Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India Manager Interview Questions and Answers

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: My resume was shortlisted based on my academics in my engineering college. Generally the company shortlists candidates with a CGPA more than 8.5/10
Tips: Always keep your resume short, preferably one side of a page.
It should be to the point. Do not write big and complex sentences since the interviewers do not have all day to read your resume.
Stress on relevant achievements rather than a long list which include achievements that will not have a significant impact on the interviewer.
Follow reverse chronological order while listing your credentials
Often resume templates found on the internet tend to have a objective at the beginning. Do not copy paste the objective in your resume. Write only if it comes from your heart and you are crystal clear about your objective. Otherwise do not write it.

Round: Test
Experience: The questions were fairly easy. Synonym Antonym type.
Mental ability question level was moderate.
Tips: Do not take the written test lightly. Start practicing early preferably 3-4 months before the start of placement season.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: This was the most interesting round. The discussion took place in a organised way.
Tips: Take time to understand the topic properly. Do not be in a hurry to start speaking as soon as the topic is disclosed.
Understand the way in which the jury wants you to discuss the topic.
Generally its good if you can begin the discussion. But do not worry if someone else preempts. I did not begin the discussion :)
While discussing do not keep glancing at the judges. Pretend as if they do not exist.
Contrary to general perception that the one who speaks the most (or the loudest) gets through, doing this can actually get you into trouble. Speak when you have a valid and a coherent point, something that takes the discussion in a positive direction. Be a good listener. Listening can probably help you come up with something useful and impressive. Try to conclude or summarize the discussion. Again do not fret if you don't. I did not summarize at the end :)
