Here I present my experience of getting in Tech Mahindra…..
Actually I became serious for this company, only 1 day
before it was to come in my college. In preparation I did few chapters of r. s.
aggarwal (but imp ones like ratio and proportion, profit and loss, percentage, partnership,
unitary method, simple and compound interest…) but just one day before I
revised all the chapters that I did before and on the next day morning that’s
on 30th April I did small portion of verbal and nonverbal book of
r.s.aggarwal(I did nothing new but I
revised only the chapters of analogy, blood relations, directions, coding
decoding…)
Then at around 1 pm they start with their PPT..I can say in
my case that it’s only after going through their PPT I felt that I want to be
in this company. I was so impressed but some kind of controversy was going in
my mind as I thought that as compared to other students I haven’t prepared well.
Its just 5 to 8 hrs I have spent on preparation but I was thorough with all
topics of quant and verbal so I maintained my confidence in me..that’s all I
did before going in for written test that’s boosting my inner confidence that I
can do it…
About written test I can say preparation matters but the
main thing is speed and the time management…below I write for you the pattern
of the written test—
It consisted of 6 sections having 100 questions in all to be
attempted in 1 hr with no negative marking….
Section
1.Verbal section—it consisted of 35 simple clues but again
the speed matters…u think about the answer and just click on the option there
is no time for rechecking .the question of coding and decoding was there in
appreciable amount so I suggest you that if u are appearing for tech Mahindra
written u betterwrite ABCD…. On rough
sheet before the exam starts …truly it works!!
2. Non verbal section-it was having 20 questions simple and
the main portion was formed by analogy, pattern matching…
3.Quantitative aptitude—only 15 questions of aptitude were
there and as I knew that my quant is weak so I attempted only 7-8 questions of
which I got the answered in first go—actually I can say I was bit lucky in this
regard as I practiced for partnership question well in my prep hrs and in my
quant section there was about 6 simple questions from partnership ..rest I
marked all the other arbitrarily(the main advantage of negative marking)!!
I completed this section in hardly 5 minutes..
4-5. In these two sections was 25 questions of English—like
fill in the blanks with conjunctions ,synonyms, antonyms(simple one not the
alien words),it was all easy for me…
6. it consisted of 2 comprehensions very-very simple its
just speed which is required as u get only 4-5 min to do it .I attempted this
section in the last 4 min…
I have given u so much detailed explanation of the written
test as in tech m written forms your more than 70% chances of getting placed in
it…u can see from the fact that in my college 245 students appeared and only 31
cleared it…..
I waited for the result and was lucky to clear it…
Then everybody was in hurry to prepare for the interview….after
passing long waiting hrs then the next day my call for the interview came. YES
I was bit nervous but was trying to feel better by singing songs….(that’s my
best way ever)
Then as I entered the room they welcomed me with so much
warm smile that I started feeling comfortable then my technical interview went
for almost 45 min…they were impressed by me…
Here is how my interview went….
As I entered the room they I saw that there were 2 persons
sitting to take my technical…
greeted my interviewers with a smile and was asked to have a
seat. My resume was asked and then began the questioning part..
Tech Mahindra Question: Dipti introduce yourself to us.
A. I told them about my schools , my family, my nature and
in last about my hobbies..
Tech Mahindra Question: So you like to dance what kind of?

technical…
Tech Mahindra Question: Tell us about any of your strong
point in life?

Tech Mahindra Question: We also like to know about your any
negative point?
A. I answered ….and by reading their expressions I can say
they were impressed by my strong point as I justified it by giving a real
example from my life.
Tech Mahindra Question: Now Dipti we want you to solve this
puzzle for us.
So they gave me a temple and flowers puzzle that I solved
but after taking atleast 10 min..but as I was solving they asked me the method I
am using and appreciated my approach to solve it..
Then they gave me a
cake problem which I wasn’t able to solve..
Tech Mahindra Question: Share any moment of life with us
when you thought that you are trapped but with your hard work and will you were
able to come out of it..
A. To this I gave them the example which was also cleared by
resume..so he was very impressed to know that I was a medical student with no
even optional maths in my 12th and then I carried on with my b.tech
in e&c and that’s with so much good percentage!!
Tech Mahindra Question: If our company give the chance to you
to carry with your studies further..would you like to go for it?

Tech Mahindra Question: Do you have any questions to ask?
A. first I asked their names then their experience in tech m

sector and also whether they can efficiently take on the work load or not ..
After this they said that I can go now and they wished me to
have a great future with them…
Then my HR went as below
(it was of hardly 20 min)
Tech Mahindra Question: So dipti hello
A. Hello sir and very good afternoon
Tech Mahindra Question: So have you taken your lunch?

Tech Mahindra Question: So are you not feeling hungry?

Reply—so he explained to me what modus pollus is all about
the he asked me to now justify it that it’s right.
I spoke for about 2 min on it then he said its okay good…
Tech Mahindra Question: tell me about the company tech mahindra?
A. To this I told them everything that I knew about tech mahindra.
Tech Mahindra Question: SO where from you get to know about
all this?
A. SIR from my friends,net, your PPT
Tech Mahindra Question: Why do you want to join tech
mahindra?
A. Sir actually being in electronics trade I have the
knowledge of the hardware that’s used in telecom industry but now you want to
know about the software which makes this hardware work…and your company
provides a good interface between the both so I want to join your company..
Tech Mahindra Question: Dipti why dint you went for tcs?
A. Sir I dint clear it’s written test.
Tech Mahindra Question: What they told you in their PPT?
a. Actually sir it was only for those students who was short
listed fir the interview..
Tech Mahindra Question: Hmm so what do u think was this,
right? Or are you happy with our pattern of giving PPT to every one appearing
in the test?
A. sir an my opinion everybody should know about the company
so your pattern was better than them and In some way the PPT also boost the
energy level of the students to get into that company if they feel
impressed(that’s what happened in my case)…
Then he gave me a form to sign and my HR was over
After about 1 hr result was announced and I was very happy
to hear my name in the list of 21 selected students and then it took me around
2-3 days to realize that yes m placed in tech m….it was just like m living in
dreams before!!
So my friends the main thing that u should have in you to
get in some good company is to have confidence in your capabilities…and yes
time management during the written test!!
Thanks for reading my experience and whatever I have written
here will be worth for me if it will help you in any way.
