Interview Preparation Tips

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

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

I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Dec 2016. There were 4 interview rounds.

Interview Preparation Tips

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.

Interview Questionnaire 

6 Questions

  • Q1. 1. Draw a 4-speed synchromesh gearbox. (A bomb at the beginning which was timely diffused since I had drawn it ago)
  • Ans. 

    A 4-speed synchromesh gearbox is a type of manual transmission commonly used in automobiles.

    • Synchromesh gearbox allows for smoother shifting between gears

    • Each gear has its own synchronizer ring to match the speed of the gear and the input shaft

    • The gears are arranged in a specific order, typically in an H-pattern

    • The driver must depress the clutch pedal to disengage the gears before shifting

    • Commonly found in sports cars

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. 2. Tell me how transmission occurs from engine to wheel?
  • Ans. 

    Transmission transfers power from engine to wheels through a series of gears and shafts.

    • Engine power is transferred to the transmission through the clutch.

    • The transmission uses gears to adjust the speed and torque of the output shaft.

    • The output shaft is connected to the driveshaft, which transfers power to the differential.

    • The differential splits the power between the two wheels, allowing them to rotate at different sp...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. 3. Basic questions on IC Engines like octane numbers etc
  • Q4. 4. What is limited slip differential? How it works?
  • Ans. 

    Limited slip differential is a type of differential that limits the speed difference between two wheels on an axle.

    • It allows for better traction and handling in slippery conditions

    • It works by using a clutch or viscous fluid to transfer torque between the wheels

    • Examples include the Torsen differential and the Quaife differential

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. 5. Questions on fluid engg. like working of venturimeter etc
  • Q6. 6. Questions on machine design like how screw-jack works? how to increase efficiency? etc

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The test was conducted via amcats.com. In aptitude section, quantitative, logical reasoning and verbal ability were three subsections and questions were more or less easy.In technical section, standard sets of questions ranging from machine design, thermal engineering to industrial engineering, almost all topics under mechanical engg., were included. Level of difficulty was medium.
Tips: For aptitude, basic +2 knowledge coupled with some practice to increase speed is essential.For technical, a general overview of all the topics studied in earlier semesters under mechanical engineering including mathematics is needed.
Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 90

Round: Group Discussion
Experience: Topic was nice and arguments on both fronts could be presented. An example is that in core engg. sector, although there is a minimal presence of women (which is a reflection of the fact that very few girls opt mech/ee/civil etc streams), the IT or Software sector doesn't face similar problems and upto certain level can boast of being equally harbouring geniuses from both genders alike.
Tips: Be calm and try not to get into a fight with any member of the group. Always remember, this is a discussion and not a debate. Keep your points brief and salient and present them with confidence. Forget about the interviewers and make yourself comfortable. If you are unable to fathom the topic or come up with solid points at the spur of moment, take time and keep notes of others' arguments. Best of luck!
Duration: 20 minutes

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: My first question was "Tell me about yourself", which was the only HR question I was asked. So, I'm mentioning it in the technical portion itself. I calmly gave an answer which was semi-prepared and semi-modified at that moment.
In technical portion, most questions being from automobile engg, it was advantageous for me since its my favourite portion from mech. engg. All the questions were fundamental and doesn't need deeper knowledge of the topics.
Tips: In a technical interview, knowledge and knowledge alone can help you. So, prepare the topics according to the company's job profile. No need to dig deeper into any special topic unless if you have spare time. Present your answers with a confident smile and clearly mention if you don't know answer to any question.

General Tips: As already mentioned, be confident yet humble. Humility gains you respect and respect gains you points in case your interview goes awry. At the end of the day, it finally comes down to the nature of the interviewer and how much you can make him feel your worth in his market. Sale yourself properly and even under utter absence of technical knowledge you can bag a job.
Skill Tips: Speed and accuracy comes from practice and practice alone.Confidence comes from experience and over dominance over the subjects.
Skills: Speed , Confidence, Accuracy
College Name: NIT DURGAPUR
Motivation: I have always wanted to join an automobile company and Tata Motors is one of the forerunner in the automobile sector globally. The association of Tata name is enough to motivate me to join this marvel of a company.
Funny Moments: When I was asked "Tell me about yourself". I cracked a joke in the middle of my answer saying "I am a training and placement representative of my college and I interact with students and company people on a frequent note and try to get my friends as many jobs as possible and right now I am doing the same by mentioning this fact to you ". They smiled heartily and I went on adding "Hopefully this way, I shall help myself bag the job at the end of the day". At the end of the day, I did get the job!!  (*Chuckles")
