The recruitment process of TECH MAHINDRA consists of mainly 3 rounds.

1. Written test.
2. Technical Interview.
3. HR Interview.

It also includes "Essay Writing" after written test was cleared.

1) WRITTEN TEST:

Total of 170 questions in 80 minutes. It's a online based test.

100 questions were from English. Questions were from Articles, Prepositions, Error spotting, Sentence correction, Tenses, Subject-verb agreement, Passages etc. It was easy. A little practice is enough to do well in this section. (Time management is very important for this round. Make sure that you complete this English section in 25-30 minutes. So that you can spend more time on reasoning & Aptitude)

Remaining 70 questions were from Logical reasoning & Verbal reasoning, Arithmetic Aptitude & Quantitative Aptitude. If you are good in Reasoning like Blood relations, Jumbled letters, Series etc. you can do well in this section as majority of the questions of this section are from reasoning. (In our exam, only 15-20 questions were asked from Aptitude. So, practice more number of questions from reasoning from various websites like IndiaBix.com).

The minimum cut-off for this round was above 60 marks in English and above 35 in Aptitude & reasoning and the cut-off can be increased as per their requirement.

Around 11 am the results were announced. 51 students cleared the written. I was one among them.

Essay writing: 

After written test, they asked us to fill some application forms and at that time only they asked us to write an essay on a topic given by them. 4 topics were distributed alternatively among all the students.

But my college atmosphere and seniors welcomed us with a lot of hospitality and their support has thrown all my nervousness away. Also we were assembled in a big auditorium for the whole day and I was freezed to the coolness in that central AC Hall. In this way I have many memories. 

At this moment, I am unable recollect all of them, but the first day experience in our college is always a memorable day in my entire life. I will never forget those days.
