GE Aerospace (spun off from General Electric in April 2024, formerly GE Aviation) is the aircraft-engines and avionics business. Because most public interview writeups on the internet predate the 2024 spinoff and refer to GE as one company (or to internal software arms like GE Digital and the cross-divisional Edison Engineering Development Program), the loop shape has to be reconstructed from that pre-spinoff GE corpus. The observable shape for India-hired software and engineering campus roles is a five-stage funnel: an online AMCAT/CoCubes aptitude and coding test, a group-discussion round on a current-affairs or tech topic, a resume-and-fundamentals technical interview, a managerial round focused on situational and behavioural questions, and a final HR round. For US and non-tech hiring the picture is much thinner: this pilot was rate-limited out of Reddit and locked out of Wall Street Oasis search, so the American engineering/MRO/manufacturing side of GE Aerospace is undercovered here.
These 4 writeups cover software engineering, engineering rotational program roles, India campus (Bengaluru) heavy. All of them were posted under a pseudonym (Reddit, GeeksforGeeks or forum handles), so we could not verify the authors’ identities.

What GE Aerospace is hiring for now
529 open roles in our index · advertised pay floors run $62k-$130k (median $95k, from 95 postings that state pay).
Five sections on the AMCAT platform: quantitative, logical reasoning, verbal, technical MCQs (DS, algorithms, DBMS, OS, C/C++ output) and an Automata coding block with two problems in 45 minutes (modular exponentiation variant and a string transformation).
Covered · Aptitude, Data structures & algorithms, DBMS, Operating systems
2
Group discussionGroup exercise
Groups of twelve got twenty minutes on a current-affairs / tech topic (candidate got "Digital India: Boon or Bane"). Evaluators watched for confident speaking, listening, and constructive contribution.
Covered · Group discussion
3
Technical interviewTechnical
Long resume-and-fundamentals round. Deep dive on projects and coursework, then Java vs C++ differences, OOP internals (static vs runtime polymorphism, templates, threads/Runnable), tree traversals with a coding twist, string handling in C vs C++, and DBMS (ACID, ER modelling, normalisation up to 3NF).
Covered · OOP, Data structures & algorithms, DBMS, SQL, Past projects
4
HRBehavioral
Standard HR close-out on background, motivations and questions for the interviewer.
Same five-section adaptive AMCAT format: quant, logical, verbal, technical MCQs across DS/algorithms/C-C++ output/DBMS/OS, plus two Automata coding problems in 45 minutes (modular exponentiation variant, string manipulation, plus others in other sets).
Covered · Aptitude, Data structures & algorithms, DBMS, Operating systems
2
Group discussionGroup exercise
Groups of twelve for twenty minutes on tech-flavoured prompts ("Digital India", "Social Networking", "Technology"). Around 19 of 50 advanced.
Covered · Group discussion
3
Technical interviewTechnical
Core-CS oriented interview covering OS, DS/algorithms, DBMS, OOP and Java. Balanced-tree operations (AVL insertion/deletion), string reversal coding, project deep-dive, and light system-design questions for some candidates. Recruiters explicitly favoured strong-project CVs.

What topics does GE Aerospace test in interviews?
Commonly reported topics include Aptitude, Data structures & algorithms, OOP, DBMS, SQL, Operating systems.
These guides summarize public, first-hand interview experiences shared by candidates. They describe the shape of each loop and the topics that came up, not a leaked question bank, and every experience links back to its original source. Processes change often. Treat this as directional prep, not a script.
