Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: I have a CGPA 7.38.

Round: Test
Experience: There was an online objective test
Tips: Previous year IIT Gate book is the best thing to prepare for the technical test for any company. I started doing it in October only.
Duration: 80 min minutes

Round: Interview
Experience: There were two rounds of interview ; 30min for Tech and 10 min HR.
Tips: If you are in ED they will test your basic design skills. They showed a CAD drawing and asking the meaning of symbols, then they asked questions related to general designs available in our surroundings like why is that sewage hole round on the ground why not square or others. If you are in Mechanical, they will ask u core Mech subjects. So please first prepare very well subjects related to your respective interns. A whole interview can be drawn on that. In my case it was IC engine so I answered all the questions related to it and that didn't allow them to ask in any other topic.

Round: Interview
Experience: It was gen. All HR rounds just want to test how much positive you are in life, whether you will leave the company soon.
Tips: Be prepared with answers beforehand. The answers to all the above questions should be "depends on the
situation" and describe them in which situation u will choose which one. PS: if it’s a panel where HR is also there, they will try to excite you by asking gen questions like which team you support in IPL, do u have any gf etc. to make you lite, then again shoot you with some questions. Please don’t get deviated by those.

Skill Tips: Mock tests, Aimcats, Gate book. For GDs, we organised them in our wing. It was very helpful.
Kindly do it often in your wing and among your batch mates too. Same goes for interview. There
are lots of general interview questions available on FTP server, prepare for them well and have
mock interviews. "Alumni interviews" were very helpful, please attend that. Randstad sessions were an absolutely waste of money and time. I was mainly selected due to my internship with Bosch. Prepare all subjects related to your intern. It will be the game changer.
College Name: IIT Madras

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: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Initial shortlisting was done on the basis of resume submission. I got a CGPA of 8.20/10.

Round: Test
Experience: There was an online Logical , Quants & Technical test
Tips: I didn't. I used educated guesses to sneak through. It would have helped if I would have revised KDOMS, some Stress/Strain Equations, and Basic Engineering Drawing Techniques.
Duration: 45 min minutes

Round: Interview
Experience: There were two rounds of interviews ;50 mins Tech, 25 mins HR. They asked about Engineering Drawing, the work I did at my 6 months intern, my stint as a Coord and Core, a few questions on my perception of fair play and honesty, what would I do in my first 30 days if the company recruits me? In short, the tech round was more like a pseudo HR round for me.

Round: Interview
Tips: I had attended several other interviews before this one that helped. I had asked a few of my friends to conduct mock interviews for me. So was reasonably well prepared (at least for the HR part). I was pretty straightforward and honest in my answers. I remember I got pretty sentimental talking about honesty, and that perhaps worked in my favour.

Skill Tips: Projects give us an edge during the interviews. You will have sufficient stuff to talk about.
College Name: IIT Madras

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.
