Bosch Interview

Yeah, I got placement in bosch. I have appeared for test from shreds. I am from ECE background. So questions were mainly from Electronic Circuits, Network theory, Control Systems, Microprocessors,2 or 3 questions from OS, C, and about 15- 20 general aptitude and English.

This year they had huge requirement for coimbatore centre. Around 365 got shortlisted. and called for interview to their coimbatore office.

There was 3 interviews. 2 tech and 1 HR.

1st Tech

There was 3 people in the panel. for me 1st tech took around 1Hr 45 mins.

They ask mainly from whatever u wrote in your resume. I wrote Hardware Skills as Computer Hardware, PIC, Embedded s/m etc. so they asked qs like how many motors are there in a CD drive, about ADC in PIC etc. they also asked questions from Project and from following subjects:

Control s/m, Embedded s/m, Network theory, MuP, OP-amp etc. You should prepare the basics well.

Some questions are listed here. ( my ans in brief is given in parenthesis ):

Tell the out put of PD, PI, PID controllers for sine, triangle and square waves.

Types of Control systems (Open loop and Closed loop)

show a closed loop c/s in this room (I showed the AC)

draw block diagram of a temperature control s/m.( Using micro controller )

Draw the circuit for it’s output section using relays.

Typed of ADC and which is better (Flash and successive approximation)

How do you rate yourself in C skills? (I said 4.5 since i heard someone with world records in c programming have rating 7. So I was careful to choose 4.5)

Architectures used in micro processors (RISC and CISC), draw their internal diagram, what are the differences and also how to choose architecture for our application.

Bus Architecture,( Harward and Von newmann). and their differences.

write a c program to alter a bit of a word.

what are bit-wise operators?

They asked me to design some simple Circuits also.

2nd Tech

2nd tech took only 25 mins. They asked HR and Tech Questions here. Very simple questions. Only 1 guy was there in panel. He asked me to introduce.

Then asked Questions like

have you got any other offer (HCL).

Where will you join if u got this job (Bosch).

Why do you want to join Boch

what is the output of following C program

int i;

for(i=1;i++)

{

printf(“%d”,i);

}

HR Interview

HR interview was a usual one. questions were like

Introduce yourself

Tell me about your family background

what is your salary expectations,?

when can u join?

why should i hire you?

They reject mainly from Written test and 1st Tech. 55 got selected from 365 those who cleared the test.

    Here .. i am from VIT .., there are 550 appearing and only 23 got selected.. luckily i am in.., I want to know how much further screening will be there and give my effort accordingly..,and one more thing i got in tcs already .. but this will be better than that no??

  7. August 31, 2008 at 1:34 pm | #7

    actually i appeared through SHREDS Kerala. almost 1500 appeared for shreds test.they won’t unnecessorily reject people. interview will be a bit tough. but if u have a fare knowledge in basics, you wil get through. so prepare well and i wish you the very best. About TCS, i think work pressure is much less here as compared to TCS. also almost every one can go to onsite. The thing is you will get exposure only to automobile embedded systems.

    Hi.. shamzu ,

    from our campus they have called all computers guys this saturday..,
    for us (electronics) they still didnt ..,

    they are saying for computers ., there will be gd, and then interviews..,
    is it the same for electronics also ..?? are we having gd?? what happened in u r case??

  11. September 20, 2008 at 1:32 pm | #11

    Hi Srihari,
    there was no GD for me, normally there won’t be. they will take very few CS people as compared to electronics people. That may be the reason why they are conducting GD.

      @Nimisha
      I joined Bosch as a fresher. They will put almost everyone for German training. So, I feel skills in German will be helpful.
