Download tech Placement Papers in MS Word and PDF Format for Job Interview

let me take this opportunity to share my Tech Mahindra experience with u.. The overall selection procedure stretched 15 tedious hours from 9 in the morning to 1 at night! 31 out of 162 were finally selected. The selection is made on the basis of 3 rounds:

1. Online Test(Aptitude and English)

2. Technical Round

3. HR Round
The ONLINE TEST consisted of:

Aptitude => 40 min 70 questions.. with +1/-1 marking. There were 3 sections and the questions were of medium and high difficulty level...there were questions from all spheres: time n distance, hcf lcm, ratio, surds, age, upstream downstream, compound interest, logical reasoning, picture matching etc... I suggest u to attempt only the confident ones and not to attempt doubtful questions. Also try ur best not to peek on the countdown timer, it might just saturate ur mind.. I tried my best, but cud finish with only 59/70 question attempts

English => 40min 100 questions.. The english was very very easy infact... i bet u can finish all 100 in less than 20min.. there were 7 sections.. each were pretty easy.. prepositions, articles, synonyms, antonyms etc..

the online test stretched from 2:00pm to 3:40pm. The results were announced @ around 4:15pm... Out of 162 aspirants, 71 were selected for the technical round

TECHNICAL ROUND : this was the toughest round as they were testing all ur abilities... I suggest u to thoroughly prepare one fav subject... and go thru urs basics well.. the technical panel were throwing in all types of question, including 11th and 12th class physics and chemistry questions. U may even be asked to solve a puzzle! Approx 10-15min per individual was the interview time

I suggest u to reply confidently. if ur not sure about the answer, b frank and tell the truth... try not to press the panic button and make sure the interview goes on like a conversation, rather than a cruel viva session.

As of my case, since I,m from Electrical n electronics background, the first question thrown at me was why I,m opting for an IT telecom company... then I was asked abt the projects and abt any hands on technical experience. I was also asked to comment on android, software testing, software maintenance etc to which I replied i had to knowledge. it was a friendly conversation and the interviewer was telling me abt the importance of working in a team, problems that I may face in IT sector, difficulties in software testing etc... and I kept on smiling and saying that I,m ready to face the challenge.

The technical round stretched from 4:30pm to 10pm. 45 out of 71 were shortlisted for the final round: the HR.
HR ROUND:

If u thot that clearing Technical Round was enough to clear the HR round,,, u r wrong... the HR was as challenging as the other 2 rounds...We were called in group of 6, and were asked to give self introduction, to talk on various current topics, group discussions, and were even asked to cross question each other.. Fluency, presentation and confidence was thoroughly tested.. around 15-20min per batch was the time taken... the HR round finished at 12:30am...

I wrote written test of tech mahindra / mahindra satyam thru JKC on 30.07.11. The paper is very easy but the main parameter to be concentrated is time....The paper was set in a way such that everyone can do it if there is no time limit.......
3 rounds:
1. written
2. tech
3. hr

WRITTEN TEST PATTERN:

It was a online test......NO NEGATIVE MARKING & NO SECTIONAL CUT-OFF
Two sections: 1. English test(100 qstns , 40 mins)
2. Aptitude and reasoning test (70 qstns , 40 mins)
English test:
consists of 8 subsections thru 8 links ( time starts wen u think to select a particular section...dont waste time in it...just go for prepositions first as there are 20 qstns in it......)
1. Prepositions( 20 qstns)
2. Articles(10)
3.Comprehension(10)

As far as I am concerned , time is left that i could check my answers once again....this is only in the case of verbal.....The toughest part is managing time in the apti and rsng test.....

Aptitude and reasoning test (70 qstns , 40 mins):
Consists of 3 sub-sections:
1. numerical abilities (aptitude)(15 qstns)
2. non- verbal reasoning(35)
3. verbal reasoning(20)
3 links will b given for above 3 sections....Never try to attempt reasoning first although it will b very easy...first attempt aptitude and then go for reasoning....otherwise u will not get time to do aptitude....
I dont remember the qstns ,but i know "few" topics from which the qstns were given...just go thru rs aggarwal apti and rsng buks on these particular topics...its more than enough.....the topics include:
partnership(5 qstns--- more weightage of all)

ratio and proportion
paragraph based reasoning qstns (puzzle test)

Questions(31-35) read the paragraph and answer the questions that follows

Organisations are institutions in which members complete for status and power. they compete for resource of the organisation, for example finance to expand their own departments, for career advancement and for power to control the activities of others. In pursuit of these aims, grouped are formed and sectional interests emerge. As a result, policy decisions may serve the ends of political and career systems rather than those of the concern. In this way, the goals of the organisation may be displaced in favour of sectional interests and individual ambition. These preoccupations sometimes prevent the emergence of organic systems. Many of the electronic firms in the study had recently created research and development departments employing highly qualified and well paid scientists and technicians. Their high pay and expert knowledge were sometimes seen as a threat to the established order of rank, power and privilege. Many senior managers had little knowledge of technicality and possibilities of new developments and electronics. Some felt that close cooperation with the experts in an organic system would reveal their ignorance and show their experience was now redundant.

31. "Organic system" as related to the organization implies its

A. growth with the help of expert knowledge

C. steady all around development

D. natural and unimpeded growth

A. ignorant and incompetent
