Placement Papers - Tech Mahindra

My name is Srikanth and I\'m from ECE background.

The selection process is as follows,

1. Written test.
2. Story writing/Interpretation.
3. Technical round.
4. HR.

1st round:

Coming to the first round i.e written, the test consists of approx 70 questions and you will be having 50 mins of time and remember there is a sectional cut off so you need to attempt every question. The main key to clear written is to have grip in English because out of 6 sections, 4 are of English. So, concentrate more on English, the questions will be asked on synonyms, antonyms, fill in the blanks, finding error in sentence, passage, etc. You have to be really very fast and put correct answers. Coming to quant, there were only 11 questions and topics are averages, profit and loss, partnership, calendars, partnership. That\'s it. If you are perfect in these topics you can clear quant sec. And in logical, simple questions were asked like coding decoding, series, odd man out, blood relations and figures. If you clear this round, immediately you will get congratulations and next round starts.

2nd round:

Coming to second round which is story writing, and we need to write a story on that. But our CPT faculty told to interpret the given image. 10 mins will be given to complete the essay and a picture will be displayed on the screen, you need to write a story or interpret on that. This is also an elimination round. You have to write without any spelling mistakes and grammar mistakes. Use simple English, and write meaningful essay and you can clear this round.

Note: Only 200 words are allowed more than which the system will not accept. So be careful with the word limit and 2nd round is a mass elimination round.

3rd round:

In this round, they mainly focused on my project. First, he asked my self-introduction and while I am telling my introduction he stopped me and asked about my project. He mainly stressed on my project and the questions. After that he looked into my resume and asked about the details of MS Office (Since I mentioned MS office in my resume) and what are the MS packages that are present in MS Office. I explained about the MS packages and he asked about MS excel and asked whether I can fulfill the requirement for him or not. I said that I had used excel a long ago and if I see the excel then I will definitely fulfill his requirement. He also asked why ECE and why IT. TR round is very easy and in order to qualify the round we need to be confident about the project.
