Analysis of GATE 2004 conducted by IIT Delhi for GATE 2012

Dear All,

First let me say thanks to Praveen(Our Student in IES,Bangalore) who shared this with us.

Analysis of GATE 2004 conducted by IIT Delhi in Electronics and Communications Branch

Following is the subject level analysis.

 Communications  23 marks ie., 15.33% of weight-age -> We can expect 12 to 13 marks in GATE 2012

 Control Systems  21 marks ie., 14%  -> We can expect 10 to 11 marks

 Electronic Devices  20 marks ie., 13.33% -> We can expect around 10 marks from this subject

 Signals&Systems  16 marks ie., 10.66 % -> 8 marks

 Network Analysis  15 marks ie., 10% -> 7 to 8 marks

 Analog Electronics  15 marks ie., 9.33% -> 7 to 8 marks

 Digital Electronics  14 marks ie., 10% -> 7 to 8 marks

 Electromagnetic Theory  14 marks ie., 9.33% -> 6 to 7 marks

 Microprocessors  8 marks ie., 5.33% -> 4 marks from this subject.

We can draw handful conclusions from this.

1. They concentrate more on Communications, Controls, Devices which we should not leave at any cost.

2. Difficulty level also will be high in Communications, Analog and EDC.

3. We may get linked questions in EDC, Communications and Analog.

4. Those who are targeting IITs/IISc should concentrate equally on EMTheory.

All of you gear up your preparation NOW.

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

How to prepare for Engineering Services Interview.

Dear All,
Here are the tips for Engg.Services Interview by Posubabu Alli, Present working IES officer in Indian Railways.
Thanks, Rao, Director, IES,Bangalore.

Engineering services Interview

Unlike CSE interview, ESE interview is quite simple and can be lead by the candidate to the right direction, if properly prepared. Board consists of four members. Chairman and 3 members.

Chairman of the board is from UPSC. Usually UPSC members head the interview boards. If there are multiple boards for a stream, there may be chances of disparities anoy multiple boards. Because marks pattern of one board differs from the other. In such case scaling should be done (But, I don’t know whether it happens or not). Multiple boards for one stream is usual in civil engineering because no. of candidates are more. Normally, one board interviews each candidate for twenty minutes at an average 6 to 7 candidates are interviewed by a board  in one session )i.e., either forenoon or afternoon session)

Normally chairman of the board starts the interview with questions related to bio –data like name, village, state, ongoing events in state etc. Deep knowledge in current affairs is not expected in this interview. Fair amount of knowledge regarding current events is sufficient. Reading news paper and magazines like India Today and Front line is sufficient you can simply skip political news in magazines and news papers concentrate on technological issues. Especially science and Tech. Colum in Thursday Hindu newspaper is very much useful. The question corner in this edition is very quite useful. Old questions can be had from the book. The Hindu speaks on scientific facts”.

You must project you self curious in knowing principles of operations of daily using gadgets etc.

In this area some previous questions asked were ¾

1.      Principle of working of bowling machine (incidentally this candidate written hobby as cricket in application)

2.      Working of spark plug in scooter

3.      Working of Xerox machine

4.      Working of air conditioner

So, the questions are more based on applications rather than theory.

 We can expect questions an

1.      Working of LCD, LED TV

2.      Internet telephony, IPTV

3.      3 G technology, wireless communication Bluetooth, wifi etc.

4.      Orgonic engines

5.      Indian space and Defence programs.

6.      Climate change adaptation etc.

 ∴ one must go deep into science and Technology topics. Science technology books of various publishers meant for CSE mains will be useful (like spectrum series, wizard series etc)

At least 20 to 30% of interview will be on present job / studies. The candidate should convincingly tell why he/she is willing to join Engg. services. There is every possibility that interviewers counter your arguments interms of pay, nature of job etc. please, keep in mind that the pay package in engg. services is less than that of PSU’s. But, you can talk about rapid promotions etc. Responsibility is no doubt high in engg. services. Job nature is less technical and more administrative. One should hare good interpersonal skills to get the job dare by subordinates. Such quality has  to be displayed during interview while you communicate.Don’t show case your present career / job as bad one. You speak about relative advantages in engg. services.

Be clean and true to yourself, regarding why you would like to join engg. services. Brush up basic theoretical principles. There are no questions seeking you to analyze technically too much (usually done in BARC interviews). Here, also concentrate more on applications. For eg:-what kind of motor is used in a mixer / grinder and why?

Have some idea regarding the sectors to which your engg. stream relates. For example – electrical engineers should know about per capita electrical energy consumption, proportion of varies kinds of electrical energy sources, national grids, HVDC links etc. similarly, civil engineers may be asked an interlinking  of rivers, urban planning etc.

Subject experts will be coming from varied fields. Depending on their fields their questions vary. One or two professors or vice chancellors will be there. You have to ensure that their questions should not be missed because; their questions will be in general nature. The questions by other experts are some times related to their field only for ex: if question like – “which kind of motor is used in Delhi metro trains?” are asked, it is …………………….. beyond some doubt about correctness.

The simplest solution to get rid of interview troubles is performing better in written exam. Having performed better in written, candidates confidence will be at peak and there by chances of getting good interview scores and hence getting top rank will be enhanced

                                                                                    Wising you good luck
