Round: aptitude test
Experience: The aptitude test consisted of verbal, analytical and numerical questions with sufficient time to answer the questions.

Round: Technical test
Experience: The technical test contained questions from almost all the compulsory courses that you may have studied over the past four-five years, mostly conceptual though but there were some numerical questions as well.

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: There was a group discussion on the topic ‘Is quality a myth in India? ‘ to eliminate a few students and the rest were selected for the final interviews.

Round: technical interview
Experience: Interview lasted for about 25-30 minutes. They started by asking about my interests and backgrounds and then came directly into questions related to my areas of interests. They asked questions about torque transmission through a shaft, I-beams, stress-strain and buckling and a little background about my thesis followed by one basic question related to it. The final 10-12 minutes were spent in discussing the questions that I had asked the interviewers and it also helped in lightening the mood, so I would suggest be ready to ask the interviewer a few questions to show that you are genuinely interested
During the interview questions were asked mostly from my areas of interests and a little about my thesis and internships. But it is important to know one or two courses very thoroughly.


General Tips: Do’s and Don’ts :
● Do not take GD’s lightly, I ignored it till the very last moment and did my first GD on the night before the actual GD. It is a shortlisting criteria for many mechanical engineering core companies and you wouldn’t want to lose out there.
● Read about your thesis and internships properly. Many of your interviews would revolve around that only.
● Select one or two major courses and prepare them thoroughly, you may be asked about the courses that you liked at IITK followed by some questions related to it.
● Practice explaining your projects and HR questions with someone.
● Get to know a little about the company before the interview. You may drop that information somewhere during the interview to show your interest. Also be ready to ask a question at the end.
● Don’t copy answers to HR questions from the internet, write your own and try to remember the key points.
● Don’t lose heart if you are not shortlisted or not selected. There are a lot of other options.
