Post was for MPD-master processing documentation engineer. Only mechanical branch.

Interview was on 9th Jan 2015 at GM-Technical Design Centre, Bangalore. Two HRs were in the room, one male and one female. The HR was very friendly. The interview lasted 35-40 minutes.

They started with my resume, asked me to tell them about myself, then about my projects, then about difficulties and challenges, and learning from projects.

Then came the technical part.

The questions were mainly related to automobiles, like:

• What are the various departments in an automobile firm?
• Explain a 4-stroke diesel engine with PV & TS graphs.
• BS-2 & BS-4 models.
• What is the powertrain in an automotive industry?
• What are knocking and scavenging? What are their occurrence reasons?
• What is a catalytic converter, and what are its types? Which type is mostly used in India?
• How do you double the head (H) of a water pump?
• Bulb of 40W & 60W, which has higher resistance (R)?
• GM cars in India, and which is the best-selling currently? Which is the new model being launched next month?
• What are unsolved equations and questions of the engineering world called? etc.

My interview experience wasn't that good, but I still managed to get through.

Some 53 attended, and 4 got selected finally.
