Ashok Leyland Interview Experience (On-Campus)

Ashok Leyland visited our campus for the profile GET (Graduate Engineer Trainee). Only CS and IT students were eligible to apply and the cut-off was 7.0 CGPA.

Round 1 (Online test): It was conducted on MonsterIndia platform and it had 97 questions – 50 questions technical and 47 questions containing verbal, data interpretation, logical reasoning and quantitative aptitude. The technical questions were mainly from Java and C. A thorough understanding of the basics is essential. The second section was so easy except the quantitative aptitude. It was a bit time consuming and we were not even able to attempt the entire 97 questions. Since there is no negative marking, try to attempt all the questions. Refer R.S Aggarwal’s book for second section.

Round 2 (Personal Interview): Around 20 were shortlisted for this round. We were given individual presentation topics beforehand and some of those were : Why Engineering?, My dream job, The happiest moment in my life, Feminism, My best friend. The personal interview had two panels and there were 3 members in each panel. The interviewers were very friendly and the topics on which the questions were asked to myself and my friends were:

1. DBMS (many questions were asked, mainly on SQL queries)
2. Java (Inheritance, Virtual functions)
3. String manipulation

Questions were asked on the projects mentioned in the resume. This round lasted around 25-40 minutes. Rather than the answer, the approach made to the answer was mainly focused. The individual presentation had to made at the beginning or at the end, depending upon the panel. Finally, four students got selected.
