GROUP DISCUSSION:
The Group Discussion was conducted for 12 minutes. Around 55 students were shortlisted
for GD, our team included 6 students. The topic given to us was “Impact of Pandemic on Indian
Economy”. We got 3 minutes for thinking on the topic. Having a habit of reading newspapers and
keeping oneself up to date could be very beneficial and would come in handy. Having a good
concentration during Pre-Placement Talk could be very much beneficial during group discussion.
One could get points related to the topic from PPT itself. Also, if one could tell points from PPT, it
gives a good impression to the recruiters regarding the candidate. I used points from PPT and
related to job description in my points. From 55 Students, about 28 students got selected for
Interview round.
INTERVIEW:
The interview included about 6 panelists, 1 HR and 5 technical. Don‟t ever get panic on
seeing a number of panelists in interview, stay as calm as possible.
HR :
My interview process started with HR asking me to introduce about myself and about my
internship experience. Then, came questions regarding my extra-curricular activities, hobbies and
strengths, weakness. It lasted for about 5 minutes and was not so hard.
MECHANICAL PLACEMENT REPORT 2021-22
TECHNICAL:
Following HR, started my technical round of interview. I got questions from all 3 of my Area
of Interests – Strength of Materials, Fluid Mechanics and Refrigeration & Air conditioning. Have a
clear and very strong foundation on each of the subject that you include under Area of Interests
and also have an application-oriented knowledge of concepts in those, as it is likely to be
asked. Diagrams, curves, cycles were also asked to be drawn and explained, so be prepared with
a paper, pen and diagrams to be drawn. Each of the panelists had asked question in all 3 subjects
and requires confidence and basic understanding of the subjects that one includes under Area of
Interest.
After my Field of interest, questions came from Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma
methodologies, as I had done courses on these and included in my resume. Besides, the job role
also included Lean and Six sigma concepts.
Mostly, at last everyone will be getting a chance to question the interviewer. Use the
opportunity wisely and ask good questions regarding career in the company, that might fetch good
impression.
I had frankly accepted the questions which I do not know and tried to guess the answer
after getting permission to guess. Don‟t get worried if could not answer some questions, be frank
and integral. It also makes an impression on recruiter.
Be confident and strong in fundamentals. Be ready for all the things you put in your
resume, as it is most likely to be asked by the interviewer.

The test was conducted on the AMCAT platform. Remember, this platform does not allow you to
toggle the questions (You cannot change the option if answered and submitted, also you are not
allowed to go back to the previous question again.)
This test included technical, quantitative and verbal aptitude.
After this round, some students were shortlisted for group discussion.
GROUP DISCUSSION:
Duration: 20 minutes.
This was a typical GD. There were about 8 students in my panel. The topic given to us was
“Making India survival in the e-commerce world”. Preparation time of about 3 minutes were given
to prepare our points relevant to the topic. Soon after the preparation time, the GD started and a
student who was willing to discuss his/her point has to click on the hand raise option that was
available within the Microsoft Teams application. In this way, each student was given an
opportunity to discuss his/her point. The group discussion went for about 20 minutes, after which
some students were shortlisted for the technical interview.
If you are contradicting your friend‟s point, oppose them in a polite way. For doing so, you
can use the following phrase, “I accept his/her point but I have a different perception to it”.
Try to discuss 2 to 3 good points during the discussion. Also, provide chance to other
students in the panel to discuss their points, if you are taking their chance to express more
of your points, it may create a negative impression.
Finally, provide an appropriate conclusion to the given topic. Providing a better conclusion
will be very helpful in creating a good impression to the interviewers.
INTERVIEW:
Duration: 30 minutes.
Interviews in Caterpillar is entirely based on the panel. Some panel may focus on technical
questions from core mechanical engineering subjects and area of interest. Some panel may focus
on the resume.
My interview was entirely based on the resume. There were two interviewers in my panel. In
resume, they were concentrating on the projects. I was asked to explain a project that I mentioned
in my resume. After explaining the project, the interviewers told that they could not understand the
project in a clear way. They asked to me explain the project with a diagram. Then I managed to
draw the design of my project and shared the same with the interviewers. They were then satisfied
with my explanation.
I had also mentioned my participation in the Caterpillar IDP challenge, as a part of co-curricular
activities in my resume. They were then interested in knowing more about the contest. I was asked
to explain the problem statement and the proposed solution in the challenge. After this I was asked
with some questions related to the contest. I managed to answer their questions in a better way.
Finally, they gave me an opportunity to ask any questions to them (Remember, make use of this
chance wisely by preparing some creative questions to ask the interviewer). I asked about their
journey in Caterpillar. The interviewers answered my question in a friendly way.
That‟s the end of my interview.
The results for the offer were announced on the following day and I was offered with an internship
in Caterpillar.

INTERVIEW:
The interview was likely to be held online. After a month, they decided to conduct in their
plant in Ambattur. The interview process was a pool type. We performed along with students from
various colleges. Initially, we were asked to fill out a form and write our work domain (Design,
Manufacturing, Sales) from most to least interested. We were divided into 3 panels based on our
first preference. I selected design as my most preferred domain. My interview began with
introducing myself. Even though I spoke fast which was difficult to understand, my interviewer was
so friendly told me to slow down my pace. Unlike other panel, he asked questions related to areas
of interest, HR and numerical solving. My areas of interest are SOM, Thermodynamics and
Thermal Engineering. Mechanical questions were application oriented rather than definition
questions.
The questions were as follows:
What is working principle of pressure cooker? (Related to thermodynamics)

Look at this duster which has rectangular cross-section. If this is subjected to bending. How
will you orient the duster?
You have mentioned “I can grasp things quickly” in resume. Can you say some
examples? (I answered that I had understood thermodynamics concept easily).
Followed by that, he asked any friends of your friends has really said that you are grasping
quickly, say any examples.
Followed by that, he asked, “Have you been able to learn new things except core quickly”.
Why can‟t you look after your father‟s company rather than applying for a job?
What is Log (1), Log (100), 40% of 60, 60% of 80, ½ + ¾ =? (These questions were like
10 10
TIPS:
For aptitude, practice as many questions as possible under each topic. For answering
questions related to mechanical, understand the concept with practical examples. If an interviewer
asked a definition type question, don‟t answer like a 2 mark, rather explain the concept with real-
time examples. Study all the topics under your area of interest. While preparing resume, be
genuine and have an explanation for each word in your mind, as the interviewer may ask (Why is it
your strength, Say examples for your Leadership skills). For HR questions, prepare answers for
common questions. In case of tough questions, keep in mind that it is about your personality and
you knew about yourself. So, think for 5-10 secs and deliver the answer.
You may not be placed in early months, don‟t lose hope and keep burning the fire. You will
succeed. (I have followed this and bore the fruit, you will too).

questions that are not your area of interest but are basic mechanical concepts like they asked me
about „open and closed systems‟ from thermodynamics.
Never put anything you don‟t know or haven‟t done on your resume.
HR INTERVIEW:
In HR interviews they started asking general questions like my home place and what‟s
famous there? It was more like a stress interview where they ask questions based on your

GROUP DISCUSSION:
Our panel consisted of 10 members. We were asked to select a topic. And based on the no.
of. votes the topic given was „The future of Automobiles‟. 30 seconds were given to pen down our
points. 10 mins was the allocated time for the entire discussion. Finally each one of us was given
10 seconds to conclude. 1 sound point with some statistics & numbers and a good conclusion
which suits the title are the things which I believe that got me through the next round.
A Group discussion is never dependent on the topic. You should have the dare and
presence of mind to give life to that discussion. Everyone will express their individual thoughts
which would either be irrelevant or hardly supporting to previous one‟s points. Even at the worst
case, you can collect info form other‟s points, build a discussion and have a control over the flow
which could get you to the next round. Don‟t enter a GD with a pressure to get selected. Stay cool
and have a thought like, you are going to drive that GD in a right way.
PRESENTATION:
We have to make a presentation about ourselves within 4 slides in 3 minutes. 1 slide with
st
self-introduction, 2 slide with SWOT analysis, 3 slide why Hyundai should hire you.

At first, they tested my presence of mind and social awareness. They asked, whose
signature was on my ID card? What was that black color thing(Anna statue) on my ID card? Who is
our current vice chancellor & previous vice chancellor? Who appoints them? Then they asked to
introduce myself. Then they started asking questions about my projects. I was so clear in
explaining them. Some of the questions were, why did I use aluminium sink, what is enthalpy,
Need for the project, what were the sensors used & they asked me to draw the refrigeration cycle.
My area of interests were IC engines and GD&T. They asked questions form IC engines.

MECHANICAL PLACEMENT REPORT 2021-22
what pressure, diesel is injected? Why is a gap provided in the piston rings? What is the current
emission standard? What was the previous one? 5 features in Hyundai cars, Engines names of
Hyundai cars. What are the challenges in bringing EV to INDIA? What is CVT & DCT ? Where are
they used? Which car in Hyundai has parking assistance? Then they asked some social questions.
How did Covid affect my native place? How will I solve oxygen deficit problem that India was
facing during COVID? Then they asked what is Mach number? Names of missiles in INDIA. What
is the Mach number of missiles? Explain E=mc . Then they asked how would I innovate that room
2
with 5 technologies. Why there was a crack in that room‟s wall. Finally they asked, how desperate
I was for that job & to rate that interview.
I didn‟t know answers for all the questions. Initially I got tensed when they were expecting
some other answers from me. Then they asked me to get relaxed and they gave me some time.
But when the question comes into your area in which you are strong, never lose that. Lay hold of
that opportunity and give impressive answers. Don‟t say something general that everyone else can
say. I gave info about Hyundai cars with the current facelift update announced on that day. To
show your desperation, tell them a story with some data which makes them believe. Finally I
asked how Hyundai is retaining their 2 position in INDIA, and why Hyundai has not reached the 1
nd st
position yet. Shortly their answer was, “ We are not working for today, We are working with a
futuristic vision”.
HR INTERVIEW :
I was asked to introduce myself with information that is not present in my resume. Then
they asked about my family and background, my hobbies etc. What I dislike the most in other
people? How many friends do I have? 3 qualities that I like in my friends. They asked questions
about my sport (chess). How would I react if someone criticizes my move? Whether I‟ve watched
the Netflix series „The Queen‟s Gambit‟? What is my interpretation about that series? The 3 skills
that I acquired from chess. Based on my scores psychometric test, they said I‟am emotionally
unstable. They asked me whether that was true? How Hyundai would get benefited if I‟am hired? If
there is 1 reason to reject me what would be that?
Think you are an ideal person, give answers with points which would be beneficial to the
company. It may go wrong if you give your personal opinions and answers. But don‟t make it look
artificial and have a balance with the ideal lies you make. Higher studies should never be a
thought. Be confident and speak in a genuinely loud voice. Don‟t give any reasons for your
rejection.

GROUP DISCUSSION:
Don‟t start with online tutorials on how to speak in a GD. You can take it as a guide but
never the exact content because someone in my GD started with the same template which I saw in
a video and he flopped pretty badly. Points are high for the starting one and the concluding one.
So, if given the chance take the opportunity. But that doesn‟t mean the ones in between wouldn‟t
be recognised. Speak precise and only when you feel like you can contribute to the discussion.
Rambling wont get you anywhere.
INTERVIEW:
Technical section: These were basic questions from all the domains of mechanical
engineering. Namely – SOM, FM, Thermodynamics and EEE.
It‟s fine to acknowledge when you don‟t know the exact answer but never say “I don‟t know
“. There are some god phrases to butter the cake, you can search it online. There were some HR
questions on how I would react to certain situations and answer appropriately according to your
desperation for a job, because no certain answer would convince them completely. It‟s an
unspoken meta that when the HR asks “Do you have any questions for me”, its advisable to ask a
question, maybe like “How was your experience working in this company” or even “ What‟s your
salary package or did you get any stock options” lol just kidding, chill and attend the interview. The
more interviews you attend the better your approaches and answers would become.

Level 1 Interview:
The first round was conducted online via Zoom meet. There were about six panel members.
First of all they asked me to introduce myself. Then they spotted a question based on my
introduction to them. I told them that I like learning new things now and then, so they asked me
what I have learned in the recent days.
I told them I learned C programming language out of my interest in the beginning of my 7 th
semester. Then they asked me why I was learning a programming language being a mechanical
engineering student. As I mentioned earlier, I answered them that I learned out of my interest.
MECHANICAL PLACEMENT REPORT 2021-22
Then they asked me if I knew any other software as they assumed that I had some interest
towards information technology streams.
Then they moved to the project section. They asked me to explain all the projects that I mentioned
in my resume.
Then they tested the managerial abilities. The question went like this, “If you are given some
demanding work, will you be able to complete the work on time?”
They asked me what I know about BPCL.
Furthermore, they tested my reasoning skills. They asked me though there are many bike
manufacturers in India, only a very few could sustain in the field, what could be the possible
reasons.
Then I was asked about the PSU Oil and gas refineries in India. They asked me which is the
biggest of them. Based on my answer to this question, they asked a few more questions. I
managed to answer all of them.
Then, they explained about the different job roles in BPCL. They told me that not all roles are
technical. Some of the roles available in BPCL include operations, marketing and engineering.
They asked me if I am willing to take the job if I was offered one.
Finally, the panel members asked me if I had any questions for them.
End of the interview.

Level 2 Interview:
This was the final interview. The interview was conducted in the BPCL head office, Mumbai.
Similar to round 1, this round had 4 to 5 panel members.
As soon as I entered the interview hall, I was asked about my feelings regarding the interview.
Then they introduced themselves. After their introduction, they started throwing their questions to
me.
I was asked about my achievements in general apart from my academics. I was well prepared for
this question in advance. I told them that I achieved several trophies in the cricket matches which I
used to play in the college and in my locality. I added that I led the teams as a team captain during
those achievements. Based on my answer, a few more questions were asked. One such question
was about my learning, takeaways and the skills that I had acquired, being a team captain in those
matches.
They got more interested in my answer and they asked me the strategies that I used to implement
to push my team towards the victory. They asked me about the results of such strategies, if I could
win or lose. I once again answered honestly what I had experienced.
Then they asked about the strengths and weaknesses of the cricket teams I was leading. Adding
to this, they asked me how I strengthened my team by overcoming the weaknesses.
After this, questions were thrown from my resume. I was asked to explain all the projects
mentioned in my resume. They asked me about the utility and stakeholders of the project.
Going further, they asked about the internship that I had mentioned in my resume. They asked
about the difficulties that I faced during the internship and how I managed to overcome those. I
answered them about what I had experienced and at this point I felt that the panel were satisfied
with my answer.
MECHANICAL PLACEMENT REPORT 2021-22
Then the interview jumped back to cricket. They asked me why I had so much interest in cricket. I
had prepared an honest answer for this question in advance, so that I was able to spontaneously
answer them.
Finally, like all interviews, the panel members asked me if I had any questions for them. I had
previously prepared a unique and novel question to ask them. The panel members were very
much satisfied with my question and they patiently answered my question for about 3 to 4 minutes.
They bid me a warm send-off.
End of the interview.

ONLINE TEST:
Online test is like every other aptitude test. Usually, it will be on METTL platform which is a
little bit more challenging than other platforms such as AMCAT. Indiabix is a good website for
preparing but it depends on your level of preparation, if you are well versed with basic
mathematics, it might feel too easy for you. In my case, I was also preparing for GRE, so that
pretty much took care of the online test. The main factor to keep in mind with online tests is the
time. Try to solve all the questions as fast as possible. Make sure that you complete at least 90%
of the test and even if you are not able to solve all questions, fill in the best possible guess for all
the questions. Moreover, in 90% of these online tests, English section will generally be the last
section and the easiest section (people with decent command in English will find the questions
very easy), but due to time constraint you might not be able to attempt this section completely or
might not have enough time to read the questions properly and make silly mistakes. So, try to
spare a good amount of time for English section as it is very easy to get all questions right.
For this company, there was sectional cut-off, so you had to score more than 75% in all the
sections (Logical reasoning, mathematics, case study and English).
Technical Interview:
This was the first round of interview. First it began with the introduction of the interviewer
and then I introduced myself, spoke about my projects and stuff. After the introduction, he asked
me 3-4 questions from my projects and asked me to explain it completely. Since most of my
projects were on topics such as supply chain, operations research and six sigma, the interviewer
was intrigued but did not go into a lot of depth. After that the interviewer gave me a guesstimate

and asked me to explain my approach. The guesstimate was something like: “Consider there is no
Ola/Uber service near your college area, how will you estimate the number auto-rickshaws in that
area.” I had prepared for guesstimates beforehand so I was aware of a few approaches to solve
such questions. But the most important part is to ask clarifying questions, this shows that you have
the ability to ask questions and at the same time it will help you create a basic framework of the
solution. I asked around 3-4 questions and then gave the answer along with a few qualitative
answers. The next question he asked was: “How will you estimate if sales such as Amazon mega
festival or flipkart big billion days are successful or not?” For this question, I told them the various
parameters that I will consider such as “number of new accounts opened, total sales volume, total
site visits, percent increase in monthly spend of average consumer etc.” This went on for about 20-
25 minutes. After that he asked me a few basic questions in python, out of the three questions I
could answer 2 of them and for the third question I told him that I was aware of the logic but since I
have not been writing code on a daily basis, I was not able to answer it. At last, he asked me three
puzzles. All three of them were from geeksforgeeks, so I already knew the answers but I did not let
him know that I already knew the answers xD.
Fitment Round:
This round is conducted by the senior management of the company. The interview again
started off by the interviewer introducing himself and then I introduced myself. In my introduction I
had spoken about my achievements in equestrian. He got excited by this and then the next 10
minutes were based on equestrian only, where we were talking about what I had done and how it
is played. Next he asked me why I wanted to work for The Math Company? I told him about my
interest in consulting and spoke for a few minutes about how it will be beneficial for me to work in a
start-up in the analytics consulting domain. After this he asked me one case study type of question.
The question was: “A water bottle manufacturer wants to increase the price of the products and I
had to draw the price vs demand curve for the product.” The question was somewhat vague, so I
asked him a few clarifying questions. After that I drew the curve and then he asked me to explain
it. He was happy with my explanation. In the end he asked if I had any questions, I asked him if I
had a chance of switching to full time management consultant roles within the company (given that
I work in the company for the next 3-4 years) or do I need to compulsorily pursue an MBA for that
role. He told me there is a possibility for that but I have to work in the company for at least next 3
years in analyst and associate roles.
HR Interview:
The HR interview lasted only for 15 minutes. It was basically just a conversation between
me and the HR personnel about my profile. He again asked if I had any questions. Here I knew
that this company was a start-up and they are quite flexible with their hiring policies. So, I asked
him if I could do an internship also with them while I was in college. The HR interviewer was happy
with me, so he told me that he would get back to me on this (1 month later I got the internship mail
from the company). This also basically meant that I had been selected. In the end he told me that
the interview was very positive and he hoped to see me soon. At this moment I knew I got the job!
So, this was my complete interview experience. All the best guys! Do reach out if you have any
other queries or doubts!
