Selena 

Interviewer: Hello Selena. Tell me about your studies.

Selena: Hi! I am Selena, pursuing 4th year BE, ECE.

Interviewer: Why did you choose to apply for TechMahindra

Selena: I chose to apply for Tech Mahindra basically because of the structured

learning and the creative freedom it provides to pursue other interests. I am in

contact with a few of the seniors who tell me about how they are doing so

much, apart from working. Most of them are studying part-time, or they are

actively engaged in other organizations. So, I like being busy and that’s

something that Tech Mahindra offers to their employees. Also, this being a day one company,

I see that I will have 57 familiar faces by the time I start my career.

Interviewer: Thanks looks promising career for a fresher. What were the different rounds conducted?

Selena: Rounds conducted were : the first round was the aptitude round. Once we cleared

that, we had the creative writing round, we had to write a 1200 character

passage on an image on the screen. Everyone gets a unique image. The

picture that I was given was a red dot. The next round was the Technical HR

round. It was fairly simple. We only had to answer confidently, and answer

right. For streams other than CSE and IT, they had asked mostly from

questions that can be found online. So it helps in preparation to Google

technical interview questions. And the final round was the HR round where I

was asked about my contributions to my projects and my communication skill

was checked.

Interviewer: Some interesting rounds! Huh? What is/are your take away from the process?

Selena: Takeaway- the first take away that I had was my first interview experience

where I did not know the interviewer. I also learned the kind of questions

that we could probably ask regarding the interview. And I understood that

when you attend an interview, you tell the company what they want to hear.

Interviewer: Interesting! What are your suggestions for future aspirants?

Selena: For my juniors, I would say work super hard. Because, there is nothing that

equates to that. And do ‘smart work’ more than ‘hard work’. And for the

technical HR, it is expected that we know what we study, for Tech Mahindra.

That is as an ECE student, I was asked questions on ECE, not on CSE.

Interviewer: Thank you Selena for the some smart insights on the recruitment process. I hope it will help the readers. Wishing you a great career with Tech Mahindra.

Selena: Pleasure is mine! Thank you too!
