Coming to point of interest,
ECIL interview panel may contain 7 to 8 members. Unfortunately we may get even DGM cadre guys also in panel. They may take interview for 30mins to 40mins. Interview is of pure technical.
Before entering into the interview, aspirant is advised to go through history of ECIL. About their major projects. Eg.,
1. They designed 32meter antenna in Bangalore which is Biggest in India for Chandrayan.
2. For Light Combat Aircraft, TEJAS they designed Stabilization unit.
3. Complete Security system for Common Wealth Games handled by ECIL
4. Electronic Voting Machines (EVM)
5. Almost all Nuclear plant's control panels
6. Security systems for all Govt., Organizations
7. Sub-systems for all most all Defence related like LAKSHYA aircraft, BRAHMOS, AKASH etc.,
This information is important when they ask "Why do you want to come to ECIL specifically". Answer for this may be like, ECIL is developing Indigenousness technology which is backbone for technology, and from job point of view, its a research oriented job. This answer may be very suitable for working guys.
Working guys may be asked about their work in depth, if they are working in Hardware/Electronics related. Guys with working exp of Software may not get queries much about their work. Working exp of Microwave will definitely fetch to aspirants. They should be of-course prepared for Microwave related questions
Coming to technical side, according to our Ashok,
They will ask first from Frequencies. Band of frequencies in Communications like L-band, C-band, S-band like that. They may ask about what is the range of Radio frequencies/Audio frequencies etc.,
Next level will go to Operational Amplifiers, then Control Systems the Microprocessors.
Questions may be expected from what is Line regulation? or What is Load regulation? or What is Zener drop down? What is Unipolar and what is Bipolar? Cut off frequencies of BJT/FET? Advantages of using FET with high frequencies?  etc.,
Electrical Guys along with previous topics may expect more questions from Power Electronics and Drives.
Instrumentation guys can expect questions from Transducers like how to measure temp., etc.,
Freshers should go through throughly about their B.tech/B.E. project. They may ask you to explain about the project with black board also. If they really did the project (sorry to say this... as present day projects are like that....) they can carry their project report with them to panel. Else donot carry but explain in your own words.
For Electrical and Instrumentation guys, we may have to give counter attack few times if they ask more about communications. We can say that communications is not part of our curricula.
For all suggestion is, If you really know then only tell them you know. Eg., everybody know MATLAB. But if you are not confident enough don't tell them that you are confident in that.
Hope its useful.
Discussions on these happen here. Aspirants are requested to update our forum in the following link after their interview. http://www.onlineies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=317
