Way 2 Freshers

I have recently been placed in Tata Elxsi. This is an electronics based company, one that is very good for engineering students who does not want to get into software industry. The selection procedure is very strict. They want students who are really sound in their departmental subjects. Only CS, ECE students are allowed. No IT

1. Aptitude Test : consists of two sections.
1. 30 questions Reasoning
2. 30 questions Technical (Separate questions for EC and CS)

The reasoning part consist of questions from “profit and loss”, Age related problems”, “Clock”, “Calender”, “Time and work”, I think “Logical reasoning” by R.S. Agarwaal will be a good text book for the preparation of this part.
I am an EC student, for me there were questions from LIC, DE, C, C++, and from Basic Electronics for the technical test.

About 250+ students appeared for the aptitude test and only 89 were selected for the technical interview.

2. Technical Interview
It was the toughest section in the whole selection procedure. It start like a normal HR Interview, Then he asked questions from Microprocessors, Digital Electronics, Basic electronics, LIC, Control systems, DSP ie almost all subjects we have to study upto 6 semester. I performed well in this section. I answered almost all the questions he asked. The technical interview for me lasted for 1.5hrs. I got a form from there, that means i got cleared from that section.

About 29 students were selected for HR interview.

3. HR Interview
That was a cool section. They asked normal HR questions like self intro, hobbies, strengths and weakness, etc. It lasted for half an hour. Finally the result announced by God’s grace I got the selection.

All the best. See u at TATA ELXSI.
