Yamaha Motor ITI Electronic Mechanic Interview Questions and Answers

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - While answering, dont think in the mind, always speak up what you are thinking.

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The hard truth is that this is a terrible job market for job seekers. The salaries are lower in general and more positions are being reduced to freelance or part-time. The work you have always loved may not have the same title and may be shared by a team now. Instead of viewing this as a negative, though, consider the opportunities. Maybe you like sales, but always wanted to do some consulting

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Read operating system and your projects

Round: Test
Experience: First 3 sections were regular.
Domain had questions from materials, thermodynamics, machining etc. however all areas were covered.
Tips: Practice aptitude to make first 3 sections smoother.
Some domain questions are general, guess by sense.

Round: HR + Technical Interview
Experience: Interviewers were cool, asked how's the day been.
1) You and your background.
2) Why BAJAJ auto?
3) Tell us something interesting in your Projects
4) How does a spark plug work?
5) What is the order of voltage in spark plug?
6) What do you know of automotive industry?

My peers were asked questions about bike weight, horsepower, weight of Boeing, design gear/spring, power consumption in India etc.
Tips: I believe they look for people interested in automobile.
Be thorough on your project and practical aspects of it (e.g. typical values of common features, like dimension of a part )
For some questions they just test logical thinking.
Having project on automobile engineering may help.

General Tips: Prepare a subject (favorite one may be) properly for placements, since you may not be able to do it all. Its asked everywhere.
Skills: Design Of Machine Elements, IC Engines, Automobile Engineering
College Name: IIT Kharagpur
Motivation: R&D profile

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The criterion for selection were:
-75% aggregate overall
-70% in each of the preceding 6 semestors
-No gap year after class 12 or otherwise
Tips: Focus on academics throughout college life irrespective of what your peers or seniors may tell you. Every company keeps a cut off.

Round: Test
Experience: The test had two sections:
-45 questions of technical aptitude
-45 questions of Quant/Verbal/LR

The technical questions covered: Strength of materials, thermodynamic, heat and mass transfer, refrigeration and Air conditions, IC engines, Fluid systems.
A lot of numericals were asked. Theory was given lesser weight.

Quant and Verbal were above average as compared to other companies however much below MBA entrances (as inferred from talks with several colleagues)

Tips: Since the company visits right at the beginning of the placement session right after summer internship, there is little time to brush up on your coursework if you didn't do it already. Instead you could steal a march on other students by ensuring you devote a larger part of your test to quantitative part as it is often the difference creator between students.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Total Questions: 90

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: They were interested in the practical application of both my projects and their replicability in real life at minimal cost. They even discussed how I could install those systems at my home, what would be the efficiency and output. They were also interested in the designing aspect and operating parameters (and simulations work from MATLAB, CFD, ANSYS was not focussed at)

No coursework theory questions/derivations etc were asked.

I told them about my leadership positions at college level and asked them about different departments at the company and procedure of switching between them.

The interview was a pleasant and thought provoking experience.
Tips: It is advantageous to have research papers or being a part of a technical team (however even students without either of them were selected too).

Prepare common questions like strengths, weaknesses, about yourself.

Read the website of company thoroughly and mention testimonials from the site in your interview for a lasting impression.

And most importantly, your projects give you leverage in the interviews so be thorough with them.

Skills: Critical Thinking, Ability To Think Out Of The Box, Practical Application Of Concepts
College Name: Delhi Technological University, Delhi

Round: Test
Experience: Technical questions were based on IC engines, dome, strength of materials and few questions related to turbo-machines. Basically they covered almost every core topic. They are not based on bookish knowledge rather questions were related to practical applications.
Aptitude- this part is very important and is the deciding round. Try to score as high as possible in this section.
Tips: Practice aptitude, pariksha tests will serve the purpose.
Technical- apart from brushing all your core concepts, also go through sample mechanical engineering test questions on internet.
Duration: 45 minutes

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: Interview was completely technical. They asked me what were my projects and internships and which was the favorite one. Make sure u know everything about your project/internship. If it is IC Engines related they will grill u on that. Mine were on heat transfer (jet impingement cooling) and turbomachines. They asked me to explain about them.

They asked me about the ic engines lab experiment which was on emissions and asked me to draw the emission characteristics (co, Hc, NOx).
Other questions were related to porous media (my Btech project), cruising and idling conditions and air/fuel ratios, emission norms in India etc
Tips: Make sure in every explanation u give u should highlight the R&D aspect of it. They were particularly looking for people interested in R&D.
Brush all the core topics, especially IC engines. If you did any work related to ic engines they will ask u on that, else they will test your subject knowledge.
Also learn something about the latest technologies in automobiles and how bajaj contributed to them.
