Selection process of MindTree was having 4 rounds as follows:

  • this round was the change in Mindtree selection process
  • Essay - to check English.
  • Programming (check below for details - very imp)

2. Group Discussion

3. Technical interview

4. HR interview



Programming ( Aptitude Test ) :

They give you a Program and they expect you to code it in a language that you are comfortable with - if you are a computer science student or if you are of any other branch, you could write even the logic, algorithm or represent the logic in the form of a FLOW chart. 
They check to see your approach in writing the code and not syntax. so they won't check for common mistakes like if you forget a ';' etc. so dont worry about syntax. but do try and write the program in Code. they may favour you... 

Program They Asked : 

Write a program to input an integer and

i. Display the reverse

ii. Display the sum of each digit




Round 2  :  Group Discussion


Around 8 to 10 students in each group conducted simultaneously. same topic was given to everyone.

Topic was : "Success and Education are co-related"

Parameters to evaluate : Communication, Team work, clarity of thought etc. They show you the eval sheet before the start of the process.




Round No 3  -  Technical inteview  :

Before you begin the interview, they ask you to write a simple program. The programs were like : Bubble sort, Binary search, Cound the no. of vowels in a sentence and display the word that has the max no. of vowels etc.

I could feel that mostly the interview was focused on Programming. So be very clear with C / C++ but also be prepared with your other subjects. there were questions on Unix shell scripting (GREP, Cmds etc), AI (What is Turing machine), OS etc. But mainly C++. Write a sample code for operator overloading etc.
