Interview Details
written test followed by some 3 rounds of interview(min 2, max 3)
written test had questions based on your core subject(mechanical / electrical& electronics) + logical resaoning/ analytical Q's. they also gave a blank sheet of paper and asked to write teh technicals achievements if any or good projects that you have done.
shortlisted students were called for an interview,
1st round purely technical: they ask you which subject are you good at & shower questions on you about that subject and also try to confuse you by asking whether your answers are right or wrong.
2nd interview was technical again, similar to 1st
there was a round elimination.

They mainly concentrate what they want and at the same time want to know what exactly we know.
Like I am from a totally irrelevant branch but applied for this interview out of passion so they took around 4 interviews one after another just to know whether I am eligible for that post or not.
Questionaire might vary from basic automotive to indepth depending on how you answer.

IT Analyst at General Motors
No Offer – Interviewed in Pittsburgh, PA (US) – Reviewed May 15, 2013 New
Interview Details Met a recruiter but I think she offered me an interview because their table was not that popular. She asked me right off the bat if I was comfortable with Excel and pivot tables. I told her I was decent and went home to learn more about pivot tables. When I admitted that I had done research the night before, the recruiters seemed to like that because one of the interview questions was "How do you learn new material?". The rest of the questions were STEM and asked me about group projects I had been in. They also asked if I would be willing to relocate to Detroit. I got a second round interview with one of the previous recruiters and an IT manager who asked me the same questions again but overall, didn't get an offer.
