Rahul Kumar's Tech Mahindra Interview Experience - 2024 Batch
Introduction Tech Mahindra is known for offering various package slabs to candidates on our campus, each designed to attract top talent with unique opportunities. As part of the 2024 batch, I had the chance to experience the entire recruitment process, which included several rigorous rounds. Here’s a detailed account of my journey.
Package Details Tech Mahindra offers different package slabs depending on the candidate's performance in the selection process. Candidates who clear the regular selection process and express interest in joining the TechM CoE training program become eligible for one of the following two categories:
- Not eligible for Supercoder test / Eligible but not cleared Supercoder test
- Eligible and cleared the Supercoder test
For those who opt not to join the TechM CoE training program but still clear the regular selection process, the package details vary accordingly.
Round 1: Aptitude Test, English Essay/Story (90 mins) This round was conducted on the AMCAT platform and closely resembled typical AMCAT exams. It wasn’t too difficult, but required a strong command of quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, and English. The test was divided into different sections, covering topics like Quantitative Aptitude, English, Logical Reasoning, and Data Structures & Algorithms.
Round 2: Technical & Psychometric Test (90 mins) The second round included two coding questions, some pseudocode challenges, and questions on Data Structures and Algorithms. The difficulty level was moderate, and the platform used was AMCAT/SHL. The round concluded with a psychometric test, which was straightforward and easy to navigate.
Round 3: Conversational Test (30 mins) This round focused on communication skills and was conducted on the AMCAT/SHL platform. It consisted of seven sections, all designed to test my listening and answering abilities. The test was well-structured, and I found it to be an engaging exercise in real-time communication.
Round 4: Technical Interview (15 mins) The technical interview was concise but comprehensive. The interviewer began by asking for a brief introduction and then moved on to coding questions, including:

In addition to coding, the interviewer asked questions about my projects, such as:

Other questions included:
- Is the growth of technology beneficial for humans?
- Do you prefer hard work or smart work?
- Who is your inspiration, and what motivated you to choose the IT sector?
Further technical queries involved:

- Implementing an algorithm to find Armstrong’s number
The interviewer also asked me to share my screen and write the syntax for string comparison and types of polymorphism in C++.
Round 5: HR Interview (15 mins) The HR interview was more relaxed, focusing on personal aspects and discussing my aspirations. The HR representative explained the company’s culture and expectations, and we discussed topics such as:
- My future goals (e.g., where I see myself in the next 5 years)

- My thoughts on the role and company
Conclusion The entire process was a blend of technical assessments and personal evaluations, providing a holistic view of what Tech Mahindra looks for in its candidates. It was an enriching experience that not only tested my skills but also prepared me for the challenges ahead in the tech industry.
