Placement Training in our college now. The man came today said that mechanical core companies will have 7 or 8 rounds. For softwares it is only 3. What are that 8 rounds in mechanical core companies?

The number of 'rounds' are basically decided by the companies hiring - to ensure that they get the best of the candidates. So, if you're through with the basics - 8 or 80 rounds of interviews don't matter. It's just going to be a formality, if you're good.
I believe out of 8 rounds, there 6 will be technical rounds of Interviews and 2 might be the HR or related interviews. Of course, the specifics will be declared by the hiring company. It's better to ask the T&P officer about this information because they'll be the right people who should have a detailed knowledge of the companies and their overall hiring process. Did they tell you the name of company which is going to conduct 8 rounds of Interviews?
For Software engineers, there are several companies that go up to 12 rounds of Interviews. So it totally depends on which company is recruiting.
I doubt they'll ever have a technical GD. Doesn't make sense. GD's usually are aimed at checking your general awareness, ability to participate in team discussions and overall communication skills. Yes, GD could be a part of overall interviewing process. Someone more familiar with Ashok Layland's selection process would be able to answer this in more detail.
