TUM MSPE Interview Questions
TUM MSPE Interview Questions
Following are the questions which were asked during the MSPE interview. Keep in mind that the technical questions
are just for having an idea about your basic knowledge. I think the decisive factors for your selection in interview
would be how effectively you convince them about your motivation to come to MSPE, TUM and Germany. Your
confidence and attittude matters a lot. If you have cleared the first stage, 75% of your work is done. You need to be
positive for clearing or scoring good on the interview.
Dont expect that if you are from mechanical background you will only be asked mechanical questions or vice versa.
They expect you to have a very basic idea of the other related subjects also.
