Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: CGPA cut-off: 7. The test had two parts. The level of the questions in the first part was very easy and do not require GRE or CAT skills. It had questions on verbal ability (readinc comprehension and vocabulary) and Math (time- work problems, arithmetic, percentages etc). The second part had questions related to Mechanical Engineering. It was slightly tough having a wide range of questions from Kinematics, design of machine elements, fluids , and thermodynamics .However, one can easily crack the test.
Tips: Don’t leave the questions unaswered as there is no negative marking.

Round: Interview
Experience: Around 60 students were shortlisted for the interview .There was only one round of interview which had both HR and technical questions. The interviewers were very friendly. The interview went on for approximately forty minutes. They started by asking me about my hometown, family, interests etc. Few question were: “Tell me about yourself”, “Describe your hometown”, “Why do u want to join Bosch and what do you know about it”, “Why won’t you go for MS or PhD”. The rest of the interview process was about the projects and internships and a few basic concepts of Mechanical Engineering. Each student was asked questions from different topics depending on the projects he was involved in. Basic questions I was asked : “What is casting”, “What is forming”, “How is a gear manufactured”, “What is the profile oF the gears used and why”. Apart from these, afew things about CRDi technology were asked.
Tips: Being a part of technology events in the hall will help a lot during the interview process. Google about ABS, CRDi, bearings, gears etc and study the “Thermodynamic cycles” from any thermodynamics book before the interview. Be confident.Never create an impression that you are a research orientated guy and will be going for MS or PhD. Do not panic. Do not try to bluff - they are experienced people and will find it out. Prepare very thoroughly about the projects. Learn about recent developments in the automobile sector (any technology developed by Bosch). Always smile .

General Tips: Having a CGPA>8 will enhance your chances. In mechanical, almost all the students who got selected had a CGPA of around 8.5. Mine was 8.4. However, Class X and Class XII percentages do not matter.
Internships in automobile industries definitely help. My sophomore intern was at Tata Motors Ltd. which caught the interviewer’s attention. The interview was guided by the project done by me at Tata Motors. Having a few academic projects also helps. Generally, they ask about projects mentioned in the CV. So, it’s better to be prepared about any project you may have done. Knowledge of the auto-sector is a must. Learn about recent developments in this sector.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Everyone with a GPA of more than 7 was allowed to appear for an objective online test which was held a day before the interviews. Test comprised of 3 sections: Verbal, Quantitative and Technical.Verbal and Quantitative sections were not very difficult. They were a bit lengthy though, which makes speed an important factor. Technical section comprised of basic questions most of which were conceptual or directly formula based.
Tips: Don’t leave any question as there was no negative marking. Revise basic concepts and formulas, preferably from any GATE book.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: One round of personal interview which consisted of both technical and HR questions.Technical questions related to projects/internships. Questions related to various manufacturing processes. HR questions like where do you see yourself 5 years down the line, why don’t you go for an MBA or higher studies, what kind of a job are you looking for?
Tips: Just be yourself. Admit if you don’t know the answer to a question. Politely ask them the answer to show that you are curious. Think of a few questions about the company which you’d like to ask at the end of the interview.

General Tips: The CGPA criteria set by the company to be eligible for placement was 7 and above. Most of the students who were finally selected had a CGPA of more than 8 but a few 7 pointers were also selected. So a good GPA would definitely help but it is not the only thing that they look for. A few positions of responsibility on your CV is always good though as it gives the interviewer something to talk about apart from the academics. You would be asked about your projects and internships in great detail. Make sure to prepare them well before the interview.
