The following sections describe each stage of the Tech Mahindra recruitment process in detail, in the order they are conducted.

1. Online Aptitude Test

This is the first and most critical elimination filter in the Tech Mahindra recruitment process. The test is conducted online with remote proctoring and consists of three timed sections. Candidates cannot go back to previous questions or change submitted answers. Sectional timing applies with individual cutoffs for each section.

Below is the section-wise test pattern:

Section	Questions	Time	Format
Logical Reasoning	12 MCQs	15 minutes	Multiple choice
Quantitative Aptitude	12 MCQs	15 minutes	Multiple choice
Essay/Story Writing	1 question	15-25 minutes	Written response (200-400 words)

Some campus drives include a separate Verbal Ability/English section (10-12 MCQs, 15 minutes).
Negative marking has been confirmed in recent 2024-2025 drives.
Difficulty level is moderate.

2. Technical and Psychometric Test

This round combines a technical assessment with a personality evaluation and is the stage where most rejections occur. The test is conducted online with remote proctoring and sectional timing.

Section-wise Details:

Section	Questions	Time	Format
Psychometric/Personality Test	72 questions	15 minutes	Behavioral MCQs
Computer Programming	12 MCQs	15 minutes	Pseudocode, output prediction, debugging
Computer Science	12 MCQs	15 minutes	OS, DBMS, CN, DSA fundamentals
Automata/Coding	2 questions	45 minutes	Code-completion (C/C++/Java/Python)

The coding section uses an Automata Fix format where approximately 70% of the code is pre-written and the candidate must complete the remaining 30%.
The psychometric test assesses behavioral traits and personality fit - it has no right or wrong answers but AI monitors responses for inconsistencies.

3. AI-Based Conversational and Communication Assessment

This round uses AI to evaluate spoken English proficiency.

It includes sub-sections for listen-and-repeat exercises, read-aloud passages, fill-in-the-blanks, error identification, paragraph listening with Q&A, and topic narration where candidates speak on a given topic for approximately 45 seconds.
The AI evaluates pronunciation, fluency, grammar, listening comprehension, and professional tone.
This is an elimination stage.

4. Technical Interview

Candidates who clear all online rounds are invited for a one-on-one or panel technical interview lasting 15-45 minutes.

The interview covers:
