Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two preliminary rounds for filtering 1. Aptitude 2. Coding. Students were filtered from aptitude round and attended coding round. The selected students from coding round were split into groups of 6-7 and given a topic at that moment for group discussion. For my team it was Invention vs Innovation. Tips for GD be initiative, allow others also to talk, don’t keep on interrupting because it’s GD not debate. Also try to give new points.
Interview round: Students were shortlisted from GD round. It was easy one. Questions from resume, sql, and a coding question was asked.
I applied online. I interviewed at Caterpillar in Jan 2026
Interview
1 hour with 2 interviewers. There were about 5-6 questions, and you MUST follow the STAR method. They seemed to be taking extensive notes between each question. They also said if I didn't like the question that I could ask for an alternative question as the questions were meant to learn a specific trait about me.
