In between I went wrong with sudden analog questions it took some time to recover (only 15 minutes). I don't like this analog subject but what to do they did not asked my favourite subjects they them self started.

but later I could recover and answer well in remaining topics but I feel damage is damage. They did not give medical slip to me that too after discussing 10 minutes.

Bad luck but it was nice experience, all the best to all people who got selected.

Tips: Being an experienced person they asked me about my working level knowledge.

1 Question

  • Q1. Questions on my 5 subjects of my choice - Network Theory, EDC, Digital, Controls, Analog circuits

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: First there was documents verification. We were given a form to fill details. After documents verification is done they call you for interview.

My interview lasted for about 1hr15mins.
They asked me which were my favorite subjects....(u need to tell 5)....mine were
Network Theory, EDC, Digital, Controls, Analog circuits........
They asked questions from these subjects only. On the whole it was a good experience. The panel is very cooperative and give you ample amount of hints. if you can present your ideas well and have good subject knowledge, then I feel you can make it. If u do well then you are given medical examination slip, which means you are selected for sure.

what happened to me was.....after the interview i was asked to wait for 2 minutes(i dont know what happened behind the door) after that i was asked to leave. I did not get the medical test slip.
any ways. Thats it from my side. All the best

Tips: They go in depth and it can be subject oriented or practical application oriented. So be prepared to encounter some surprising questions

General Tips: have in depth (both prac knowledge of all the 5 subject you point out in the interview.
Skill Tips: have in depth knowledge of all the 5 subject you point out in the interview.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: For Direct Interview - Should have min GATE cutoff score decided by BARC (Changes every year).
Written test for ones who did not write GATE or did not have enough GATE score.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: As its been more than 6 years that I had gone through this interview, the above were some of the questions I could recall. The interview went for around 50 min. The committee firstly asks our favorite 3-4 subjects. I chose Fluid mechanics(FM), Heat Transfer(HT), Mass Transfer(MTO), Thermodynamics and Chemical Reaction Engg(CRE) in the given order f preference. The committee would normally have 5-6 members. First 15 minutes the questions were regarding FM, then 15 minutes regarding HT and further 10 min for MTO, last 10 min thermodynamics and CRE which I totally screwed up. The weightage lies with the performance in first three subjects you chose as favorite. The committee is really friendly.They do not pressurize nor try to confuse you. They always give hints to go in the right path. I have stumbled alot in between, but the committee was quite supportive in getting answers from me. After the interview was over, I came out and in 2 min, the attender came out and gave me the medical examination chit. At that time (2009), getting a medical slip gives 90% chances of getting the job. Presently I think getting medical slip gives 50% chances of getting the job.
Tips: Don't think that your academic history would impress them. You selection totally is based on your performance in the interview. Be thorough with the basics of all the core subjects and wisely choose the fav subjects. Always try to understand the hints given by the committee. All they expect is that if the candidate can relate the theory to practical or not. And if you have zero idea about a question do not hesitate to confront rather than blabbering something wrong.

General Tips: Communication skills do not matter in this interview.
Skill Tips: Just brush up the basics. No need to remember all the formulas and equations. I just read Mccabe Smith before the interview.
Skills: Knowledge in Core subjects
College Name: Chaitanya Bharathi Institute Of Technology (CBIT)
Motivation: Scope for exploring new fields, salary Package
