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.
