Introduction

Go through the company website.

Know company founders, their presence and what they
actually do in India
Know some technologies about Mercedes Benz cars that
the other company cars dont have.
Know the competitors of Mercedes Benz and recent
news about company.
Know about their products in India and outside.

Eligibility criteria
10th- 60% & above
PUC/ Diploma- 60% & above
Engineering- CGPA 7.00 & above with no History of
Backlogs i.e. you must have cleared each semester in
First Attempt
Salary offered: 4.5 lakh per annum
As a fresher you will be recruited as Graduate Engineer
Traniee(for us it was at MBRDI i.e, Mercedes Benz
Research And Development India)

Selection Process
Aptitude and technical test (written)

20 Qs on aptitude. Aptitude was simple. But there

were tricky 4-5 qs on puzzle.(go through vikas
books and some ref books)
30 Qs on technical
Technical was also easy. Most of the qs were on
SOM,MATERIAL SCIENCE,AUTOMOTIVE
SYSTEM,THERMODYNAMIC, MECHANICAL
VIBRATIONs, FMetc. (5-6 appln oriented qs)
Time allotted was 60min combined
Note: since qs were easy everyone will be solving,so
you need to be at the top.

Group discussion

FOR MECHANAICAL STREAM

13 GROUPS WERE MADE WITH EACH OF 6
MEMBERS(including GIT and SDM)
There were 2 persons as judge,
One or two topics will be given
2 min time will be given to make points and firing
begins
Make atleast 3-4 entries(give good points at
right time, best if it is real time with evidence)
Speak clearly, boldly and loudly

Technical interview

There were 2 interviewers

1st q was introduce yourself
Question on favorite subjests, projects, mfg
process, on hobbies..etc.
They stressed more on the application of the
theory what you have studied.
For eg.What is Fatigue and creep and where are
they tested in an automobile?
The interview(technical) lasted for around 25-35
mins.

Technical qs:
As I told my favorite subjects as material science and
SOM
TTT curves, On heat treatment process-different
HT process
Hardening, quencing( why it done? Were do you
find such application?)
different case hardening process and give ex for
each and most of them are application oriented Qs.

Contd
Stress-Strain curve for brittle material, mild steel(in
tension and compression)
Explain all salient features.
What makes them to behave differently..I said
%of carbon and said the ranges.
Again he asked what makes carbon to behave like
this.why not other material? And I was blind
On SOM they asked SFD & BMD(dont just blindly
draw the digsexplain assumption made..derive
the relations..and then draw digs.

 For others one had to be thorough with

automative engineering.
The question posed to others was what do you
know about cars in detail.
In one of the panels they asked questions on
thermodynamics.
Explain Carnot cycle,Diesel,Otto cycle,In depth
details of IC engines.

Technical questions (30)

1. Four to five basic questions on Material science
2. Two different types of questions on finding tension in string when
masses are given

12. A material's resistance to distortion without yielding is which
property?
13. The strain energy stored in a member which is experiencing
ultimate stress, without fracture is called? (proof resilience)
14. finding logarithmic decrement, when critical damping and damping
coefficient given.
