What can i do for inplant training in bmw chennai help me bro.

 

[Ashray]

Let me tell you about the plant:

The plant is in Mahindra City, Chengalpattu which is 65kms from Chennai (on Tirchy Highway) and 5kms after you cross the Ford Plant. There are two timings 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM to 6AM. The cars that are manufactured are 3,5,7 Series, X1 and X3. (Mini Production started just after I came back and there were already two test units in the plant). There are two lines: Line 1 and Line 2. Line 1 produces 3 Series and X1 on alternate days. Line produces 5, and X3on alternate days and 7 when there are any orders. Line 1 is run 24 hours/ day while Line 2 runs only in the Morning Shift (Low demand and High cost vehicles).

Their Rules were:
1) Only formal dress with formal shoes.
2) No camera cell phones allowed.
3) You have to cover your belt buckle (with kerchief or tissue paper) at all times so that you wont scratch the cars.
4) Timings were 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM
5) Food would be provided in the plant (Breakfast and Lunch). The food was amazing, trust me.



Day 1:

I was all excited and I was ready by 6AM. I was asked to be present at the plant by 7AM. I sat in the waiting area till 8:00 and completed all the formalities, when the HR manager came to brief us (there were others too). I was in a formal dress and he looked at my shoes and said I had to wear shoes that were hard for my own safety. He suggested me to go T. Nagar, buy them come back the next day. My heart sank but I agreed and went shopping.

Day 2:

I was as excited as Day 1 and was present there by 7:00 AM. I was introduced to a floor manager that controlled Line 1. He showed me around the plant and I was mesmerized. The plant was not purely automated. All vehicles were CKD's. All parts (even Engines) came from Germany, While bodies (already painted) came from USA or S. Africa. The produced cars would ship to S. Africa if the sales are slow in India.

Re: BMW Plant Chennai - Inplant Training

Wow.. thats good to know.. I have a brother, younger to me doing his 3rd SEM in ME, diploma here in Bangalore.. How did you manage to fix your self an internship deal with them?? Do you mind sharing??

It's so sad to hear that they are not taking Mechanical Engineering degree graduates.No posts exists there for Mechanical Engineers?

 

[SwaminathanP]

Hi, I would like to know what thier requirements are, The type of resume they expect, When do they give intern, minimum criteria and all. I am currently pursuing mechanical engineering in BITS-Pilani. I really want to work there in BMW. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone! First of all, I'd like to tell how happy I am for being part of this amazing community.

So, let me introduce myself. My name is Saketh and I am from Hyderabad. I just finished my Mechanical Engineering and I did my final year project work at BMW Plant Chennai from Feb 1st - March 15th 2013. I will also be uploading some photographs that I took for my project work (some maybe from public domain as photography is'nt allowed in some areas).

I am a big fan of German Engineering (especially BMW) I love their cars and especially the ///M. I decided in my school days that the first car I'd buy with my money would be a BMW. You could call me BMW fanboy for that reason .
To get an opportunity for training with BMW, I had to drop a few mails but I did'nt get any replies ( I learned later that the plant was in a Maintenance shutdown for 15 days). I got my first reply in mid-January that said they would look into it and it was on January 26th, they confirmed my internship with them . It would start from Feb 1st and the time period is our wish. It can be 1, 2 6 Months or even a year (No Stipend though). So, I packed my bags and off I went to Chennai.

hey am tushar i liked your work i mean internship in BMW . I am studying mechanical engineering in hyderabad and want to do internship in BMW , so plz give me advice to get in . I think you will surely reply to me . WITH WARM REGARDS

[manu_2]

hey saketh can you send the details how to apply for the internship in bmw chennai plant. and can you also guide me also with other internships.

 

[nabeel2402]

Hello, Saketh. I'm Nabeel. I'm currently studying Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, later I have plans to do engineering, in that I shall shift to Automobile engineering. I'm very deep into Automobile's. I had a small doubt which I need to clarify, my doubt is, are there placements for Automobile engineers ? I found in Google that there are high possibilities for Mechanical engineers and less for Automobile engineers in automotive companies. Tell me your views on it. And these automotive companies hire only Mechanical engineers or even Automobile engineers ? And if I go into Automobile engineering what type of job will I expect ? I'm basically into engines, tuning and my favourite test track driver ! I belong to racers family. Please help me out in choosing between Automobile and Mechanical engineering !
Thanks in advance !!
