Studied at the National Institute of Industrial Engineering

One of my friends recently appeared for the interview at NITIE and here is his experience in brief. 

The interview panel consists of 5 members. First, there was a general introduction round. Then they asked questions related to the concepts from his B. Tech branch.

If you have any work experience or internship then you will be asked questions about it. If not, questions related to your final year project will be asked. There will be small talks related to your hobbies, background, and other HR questions like why NITIE, etc.

To do well in the interview, improve your communication skills, revise some concepts from your B. Tech, and learn more about generic concepts.

How should I prepare for my interview in IISc Bangalore for the Integrated PhD course in Physics? I appeared in JAM 2016.

I was interviewed at IISc Bangalore for an integrated Ph.D. in Physics. Once you get an interview call, your JAM marks or rank do not matter.

You will give an interview to a panel of 5 to 6 professors, each one of whom will be an expert in their field. In the beginning,  you are asked about your UG studies and favorite topics in Physics. After this, you are asked questions and thoroughly examined. 

Be very clear with the basics of Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Electrodynamics, and Mathematical Physics. You can be asked anything from them. Truncated Harmonic Oscillator and Finite Square Well are important topics that are routinely asked during a Physics interview. 

You should accept it if you do not know about a topic or did not study it. This is because the panelists easily assess what you know and what you do not know. If you do not know a topic and the panelists are in a good mood, you will be asked to get into the ‘let’s figure out’ mode, else, they will move on to another topic.

My interview experience at IISc Bangalore was quite good. I was not selected for the iPh.D. Physics program but the interview aided my growth and knowledge. I would recommend you enjoy the interview at IISc Bangalore and also give it well-prepared.

How is the interview of XIMB BM?

AM
Abhinav Mahera Posted On : July 11th, 2022
Studied at Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar

The interview process for XIMB BM is pretty standard. The direction and the overall interview experience will depend a lot on how you are answering the questions. There are usually three panelists. 

The interview starts with an introduction. There will be questions regarding your family background, past academics, etc. There will be questions about your undergraduate subjects. You can also expect general questions such as ‘Why MBA?’ ‘Why XLRI?’ etc. 

Try to give short and straightforward answers. Try to stay patient and confident throughout the whole interview.

What happens in a CMC Vellore interview?

A
Admin Posted On : May 3rd, 2024

I gave an interview for my MBBS admission at CMC Vellore back in 2015. The interview pattern at CMC has been mostly unchanged for a long time. The process lasts for 3 days. 

Here is the complete breakdown of the entire MBBS interview process at CMC Vellore:

  • The candidates are segregated into groups of 5 or 6. 
  • Boys and girls are arranged into different groups. 
  • Two G.O. (group observers) are assigned for each group.
  • The process comprises individual tasks, group tasks, GD and PI rounds.
  • The individual tasks judge how wisely the candidates can identify doable tasks, and if they can complete those tasks in a given period. 
  • The group tasks focus on how well the team members communicate and cooperate. An example of the assigned tasks is- “Build a classroom with the given materials”. 
  • During the GD, each team is given a particular topic of discussion. The group observers test how well the candidates can voice their opinions in front of others. My group received the topic-“Discuss the water shortage problem in our country and how to solve it.”

The final step is the PI. The G.O.s ask similar questions in different ways. It is important to answer with confidence and firmness. One of the most frequently asked questions is- “Why did you choose medicine?”

How is the personal interview in IIT Kanpur for M. Tech selections?

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : April 20th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

One of my friends had appeared for VLSI MTech personal interview at IIT Kanpur and shared his experience of the same.

He was interviewed by 2 professors and one of them asked the reason for his poor marks after the first year. My friends told him about his lack of interest in the field and no core companies making it to the company for placements. He had decided to prepare for GATE instead and managed to get AIR 197 in his final year.

Next, they asked him some technical questions related to the EDC portion. He was even asked to draw a logarithmic plot of current v/s voltage for a practical diode.

Next, he was asked questions from the analog portion, which he hadn’t prepared well. To his relief, they asked him only basic questions like he was asked to identify a configuration. He wasn’t able to answer a few questions related to analog and concluded that it’s very necessary to revise your concepts even after GATE.

How was your IIM Trichy interview experience?

AJ
Arshit Jain Posted On : January 21st, 2023
Student at IIM Trichy

Here is the IIM Trichy interview experience of a candidate.

It was a cold morning in Bangalore. Finding Monarch Luxury was not difficult for someone who was familiar with the city. On the way, the candidate stopped at a nearby shop to buy the day's newspaper. Upon arriving at the venue on time, she was directed to the waiting hall where all the other candidates were already present. The candidate felt underdressed in their plain red kurta when they saw the other candidates dressed in business formals, complete with blazers.

Reminding herself that she was just one step away from the prestigious IIM tag, the candidate took a seat. The process soon began.

The topic for the WAT (Written Ability Test) was "Weddings and restaurants have different varieties of food and most of the time a large amount goes to waste. In a country like India, we cannot afford that. What are your thoughts about the same?" The candidate found that all of the large-scale topics they had prepared for this moment were useless, as this was not something they could have studied beforehand. They were simply asked to express their opinion on the given topic on an A4 sheet.

After their WAT, the candidate waited outside the PI (Personal Interview) room and tried to remember everything she had studied in the past few days. She read the newspaper and decided to go over the story of Great Britain and David Cameron in detail. She heard other candidates speaking to each other and sharing their experiences. They were asked questions about their favorite subject in their graduation course. The candidate began to panic, as she loved engineering mathematics but did not think she would be able to solve problems in front of the interviewers. She also did not want to mention coding as a favorite subject, even though she had a computer science engineering degree, because she was not proficient in it.

When her turn finally arrived, the candidate stepped into the PI room hoping they would not be asked about their graduation. The panel consisted of two men and a woman, all of whom welcomed the candidate with a smile and put them at ease. The interviewers asked the candidate about the meaning of their name, their work at IBM, and their reasons for leaving her job to pursue an MBA. The candidate was also asked about their reading habits, current events, and their career goals. The interview concluded with the interviewers thanking the candidate and wishing them luck.

Can someone share his/her interview experience at SPJIMR on score-based calls?

GK
Gauri Kapoor Posted On : March 13th, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (1993–present)

If you are preparing for an interview at SPJIMR, here is what you can expect based on a student's experience.

First, you need to choose your specialization beforehand while filling out the application form. Once you receive a profile-based call, you will be shortlisted and interviewed on the basis of your chosen specialization.

On the day of the interview, make sure to reach the venue 90 minutes prior to the scheduled interview time. The admissions committee member will verify all the documents which were uploaded to the portal and will ask you to submit a photocopy of the same. 

You will then be taken to another classroom for the psychometric test and WAT. The psychometric test will revolve around questions testing your morals and ethics, and you will have to choose among Strongly agree, Agree, Neutral, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. You will also have to elaborate on the same by choosing any 3 among the 10 questions from each group. The WAT will ask you to write on a given topic within a time limit of 30 minutes.

After the written test, you will be taken for the group interview. Groups of 6 will be taken to their respective panels. You will be asked to introduce yourself, and the panelists will question you based on your specialization. Be prepared to answer questions related to your work profile and operations. You will also be asked to speak on a topic related to your specialization.

If you qualify for Group Interview 2, you will be asked questions that test your personality and character. You will also be asked to talk about a "Wow" moment in your life and something deep you have learned from your parents.

Remember, the interview process is an elimination round, so make sure to prepare well and be confident in your answers.

What were the questions that were asked in the IIT Delhi M.Tech interview for Computer Science and Engineering?

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 3rd, 2023

My friend recently gave his interview for the MTech program at IIT Delhi and he told me that only 2 questions were asked him.

  • What is a tree? - To this, my friend gave a general answer that did not satisfy them, after which they asked him to state an additional property of the tree. Right after this, they tricked him by asking him to prove the 2nd property based on the first. Although he tried, he was unable to give the final solution.
  • Next, they chose a number between 0 to infinity and asked him to guess their number exactly using the minimum number of queries. My friend could answer this one better than the first one although the panelists weren’t completely satisfied with this one too.

His interview lasted the longest although he was asked only 2 questions. Some conclusions drawn from his experience and tips to follow to prepare for the same are

  • Study the proofs from Discrete Math and Data Structure and Algorithms. 
  • Be well-versed with all major definitions and prepare some good examples to support your definition. 
  • Explain the questions asked in detail and not in short

Hope you got an idea of the type of questions asked in the MTech CSE interview.
