MBT-Placement Paper-7 May 2006-Kolkata


I was selected in MBT (TechMahindra) on 07/05/2006 through campus interview. I am a student of 3rd year in the department of Applied Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering in Siliguri Institute of Technology.

I am going to tell you about the questions asked in the interview round (technical and personal). Before that let me tell u about the aptitude test.

There were 5 sections- 3 on English and 1 each on verbal and non-verbal ability. In total there were 70 questions to be answered in 60 mins. There were no negative marking & still u have to be very fast. The test was online.

For the English sections there were questions mainly related to tenses, voices and general English usage. It was very easy but tricky.

Then were at least 6-7 puzzles from Shakuntala Devi together with series completion (tough one & time consuming) and quantitative aptitude.

So go through Shakuntala Devi, R.S. Agarwal, Arun Sharma and Muhammad Muneer at least 9-10 times.



For me and some of my friends HR round was held before the technical round.
