1. MBT Pune .
2. It is a walk in so you don't have to send your resumes to anyone. But do
remember to take your resumes and photocopies of previous marksheets (They
asked for them the previous time), also mention the aggregate % in ur
resumes.
3. The test pattern is as follows:
The test consists of sections (dont remeber exact number but is around 6)
each of which have time limits. Most of the sections have time limit of 10
min and some of 5 min. Total time 55 min.
You are supposed to attempt the sections in the time alloted. When the time
expires you must move to next section.
Each right answer +1 each wrong ans -1.
For the sections and sample paper refer freshersworld.com
What I felt is that you cannot solve all the questions in the time limit, what is needed is that you find the questions you know well and attempt them
in each section. You should scan the questions quickly, say in 1-2 min and
then you will know which questions you should attempt. Try not to guess
answers.
There will be a section on reading a passage (5 min) and then attempting
questions (5 min). Read the passage carefully as you will not be allowed to
get back to the passage later.
4. How to prepare:
Verbal and non Verbal reasoning by R.S. Agrawal.
DoNot skip its Analytical(Verbal) (the part containing boxes and
figures...)
5. I gave the test in Pune on 21st morning batch and was intimated by phone,
I then called back MBT to conform it.
Best of luck to all who are giving the exam this month.
