    Tolerance stack up refers to the accumulation of variations in dimensions and tolerances of individual parts in an assembly.

    • Tolerance stack up can lead to issues such as interference or gaps between parts in an assembly.

    • It is important to consider both the nominal dimensions and the tolerances of each part when designing an assembly.

    • An example of tolerance stack up is when the cumulative variation in the thickness of m...

Round 1 - Technical 

(3 Questions)

  • Q1. Draw the BMD for Simply supported beam?
  • Ans. 

    BMD for a simply supported beam is a graphical representation of the bending moment along the length of the beam.

    • BMD starts from zero at the supports and peaks at the center of the beam.

    • The shape of the BMD depends on the type of load and support conditions.

    • For a uniformly distributed load on a simply supported beam, the BMD will be a parabolic curve.

    • The BMD can be drawn by calculating the reactions at the supports and...

  • Q2. What is Mohr circle diagram?
  • Ans. 

    Mohr circle diagram is a graphical representation of stress transformation in materials.

    • It is used in engineering to analyze stress states and predict material failure.

    • The diagram shows the relationship between normal and shear stresses on different planes within a material.

    • It helps engineers determine the maximum and minimum principal stresses, as well as the orientation of the planes on which they act.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. What is buckling of column?
  • Ans. 

    Buckling of column is a phenomenon where a slender column fails due to compressive stress exceeding its critical load.

    • Buckling occurs when a column is subjected to an axial load, causing it to bend and deform laterally.

    • The critical load at which buckling occurs depends on the column's material properties, length, and cross-sectional area.

    • Buckling can lead to sudden and catastrophic failure of the column.

    • Examples of buc...

Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Explain GD&T symbol and its significance
  • Ans. 

    GD&T symbol stands for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, used to define the nominal geometry of parts and specify allowable variations.

    • GD&T symbols are used to communicate design intent and control the manufacturing process

    • They include symbols for features like flatness, perpendicularity, concentricity, etc.

    • GD&T helps improve quality, reduce costs, and ensure parts are manufactured correctly

    • It allows for more det...

  • Q2. /significance of stack-up
  • Ans. 

    Stack-up is the arrangement of different layers of materials in a PCB design to meet electrical and mechanical requirements.

    • Determines the overall thickness of the PCB

    • Affects signal integrity and impedance control

    • Influences thermal management and mechanical stability

    • Critical for meeting design specifications and performance goals

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They asked me about my thesis and some device related questions as my thesis was on modelling of device. Questions were basic and were related to variation of device parameters with environmental factors and other parameters. Apart from that, several questions related to basic digital circuits were also asked concerning flip flops, latches, setup time and hold time. The technical interview went on for approximately 1 hour.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR round lasted for about 5 mins only. The HR person asked me whether I were interested in going for PhD or not and about my hobbies and interests. Overall, the interviewers are very friendly and asked basic questions only.
Tips: Prepare your CV well, have a good CPI, do your thesis sincerely, concentrate on your basics and you will stand a very good chance of getting selected.


General Tips: Do the courses thoroughly, make good course projects and start preparing for the placement session at least 1 month early.

Don’t ever mention to them that you are interested in higher studies even if you are applying. In case you don’t get a job at your targeted company, don’t lose hope and move on to the next one.

Concentrate on your preparation and the things that are of utmost importance, don’t get bogged down by pressure. Be optimistic and cheerful, because confidence really helps during interviews.

Final Tips :
1. Be confident and enthusiastic in your response to questions because you have to make them understand that you are interested in the profile.
2. Chalk out a plan to strengthen your strong points and address the weak ones.
