MINDTREE was the first
software company to
visit the Bengal
Engineering & Science
University, Shibpur
campus for campus
placements. The entire
procedure was of two
days- 17th and 18th
July, 2006. It consisted
of the following
things:-
1) Aptitude Test
The aptitude test was
the first level to be
crossed. The eligibility
criteria for the test
was 65% in aggregate
from IT, ETC, CST or EE
departments. The test
was actually outsourced
to a US-based agency
known as 'Professional
Aptitude Council'. The
test they conducted was
composed of 2 parts:-
a) Part One - This
consisted of time-based
sections ranging from
Diagrams, IT reasoning,
quantitative analysis to
approximations and chart
viewing. The different
sections had times
allotted as 30, 20, 6
and 2 minutes and total
questions were 105.
b) Part Two - This
consisted of various
sections but no
time-bound sections. The
questions here ranged
from Basic computer
knowledge to logical
reasoning to Psychometry
and knowledge about the
various topics. This
part was allotted a
total time of 75 minutes
and total questions were
140.
So the total time was
133 minutes and the
total questions were
245.
2) Group Discussion
For the group
discussion, which was
held on day 2 after the
Pre-placement talk (PPT)
there were 90 students
chosen. They were
divided into 9 groups of
10 each. Each group was
given a different topic
to discuss. Some of the
topics were:
i) If you get up
tomorrow morning and you
find that the Internet
has vanished, will it be
good for society or not?
ii) MNCs vs. Indian
companies
iii) Indian IT companies
are ruining business etc
etc
3) Personal Interview
From the 90 students
chosen for GD, 37 were
chosen for the personal
interview. They were
called in one-by-one and
interviewed. Each
student was interviewed
by one person only. The
interviews were partly
technical and partly HR.
Some were asked
questions from their
vacational trainings
whereas some were asked
questions regarding the
Linux User's Group at
BESU, Shibpur.
Finally 22 students were
chosen. The departmental
break-up was 10 from
