I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at John Deere (Gāndhīnagar, Gujarat) in Oct 2016
Interview
The process basically had 2 rounds . One was a test and then an interview. In the Test there were 2 phases , one was aptitude , the other was technical . Aptitude questions were basic quant and easy english. 30 questions of aptitude , 30 minutes . No negative marking . Technical also had the same format , however you can choose whether you want to give technical in fluid & thermal , or control ,or solid mechanics.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked basic solid mechanics questions like drawing SFD , BMD of a cantilever beam with applied loads and moments. Other questions were related to S-N curve in fatigue , failure theories , stress strain diagram .
They were only checking the basics since the role offered was of design optimization
