Shortlisted Candidates of Technical Interview were called for the HR Round. The interview went for about 30-35 minutes. Questions that I faced were: 1. How can interning at Bajaj Auto help you? 2. What are your short term and long term goals? 3. What is the difference between a well established automobile company like Bajaj and newly established startups like Ola electric, Ather, etc.? 4. How should one company go about product research and development? 5. How to make sure everyone is motivated when working in a team? 6. What are some challenges you faced in the online semester? Most of the above questions were answerable with a good understanding of MSP subject taught in 3rd year 1st semester for mechanical students.

What should be the preparation strategy for an aspiring candidate?

Start building a resume from the beginning of 4th semester. The empty spaces in my resume was a great source of motivation for me to work on some projects and courses. Keep the resume simple, concise and uniform looking. It should effectively convey all your skills and experiences. Try to get involved in any technical teams of our college. Eg. SAE teams. It can increase your chances of shortlisting. For Online test: - Practice plenty of aptitude questions - Good understanding of core mechanical subjects taught in 2nd year is very important For Technical and HR Interview - Prepare an introduction of yourself for about 6 to 7 minutes which includes academics, interests, projects and any relevant experiences.

Resources for Preparation

1. For Technical Test and interview - Read the recommended textbooks of 2nd year core topics. Solve MCQs from websites like sanfoundry, examveda, etc. 2. For Aptitude - CAT/GMAT preparation books, Indiabix.
