First of all we were given a small sheet of paper where we had to fill the priority for MS
or M.tech as per your interest and write the names of subjects from which the What are the questions asked in the interview of
candidate wants the interviewer to ask questions from. I had given my subject as IIIT Delhi for an MTech (ECE)?

Communication so the entire interview was in Communication domain.

Questions :

1. General Introduction like Why Mtech? Why not MS? (as my first priority was
Mtech).

2. What is Communication? What is the role of Communication Engineer?

3. What are the different modulation techniques in Digital Modulation?

4. Explain ASK ( Amplitude Shift Keying) and PSK (Phase Shift Keying ) with
waveforms.

5. Are you really comfortable with Communication? ;p

6. Draw the rectangular pulse ( from 0 to T). What is the fourier transform for it?

7. Now modulate that Pulse and find the fourier transform for resultant. (As I
didn’t remember the exact equations I explained everything with waveforms
and diagrams).

8. Now the Pulse is modified such that it will come to zero after T/2 duration
(Unipolar RZ). and repeat question 7 with this pulse.

IIT Delhi -M.Tech Communication Engineering.

1. Do the convolution graphically just by observation. Waveform given was

1. Convolve it with a rectangular Pulse from 0 to 1 with an amplitude of 1.

2. ‘exp(as)’ is given as input to some real time system and we are getting output
as 0. Then what will be the output if the input given is ‘exp(as*)’. Where 's' is
complex variable.

3. h(t)=delta(t-1) . Comment on stability of this system.

Overall experience was awesome. Professors were very helpful and they will give
enough time for you to think on a particular question.

Whenever some proof is asked try to give complete explanation and significance of
assumptions that you will take. Even if you can answer the questions correctly they
will not consider it if you can’t explain the logic behind it.

All the best !

Originally Answered: Which IITs prefer direct admissions for an MTech (ECE)?

“No IIT, prefer direct admission for M.tech”.

• It sound Harsh? Hmm. Well if you are not among the top rankers than you
might have to pass through One more Written Test or Interview.

• The written test holds the same level of toughness as GATE. But this is only
for those who failed to score good rank & it also varies with different
branch & IITs, Like in Mechanical Branch you don’t need to give any
Interview or test for any IIT.

• But If you are among the top rankers than you don’t need to go through this
process. Here meaning of top ranker is that your AIR Should be <250. An
optimum rank for all the branch’s. It can be more or less on some extent.

• So if you already have good rank than take direct admission in your
allotted college and start to chase your dreams.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are the interview experiences that I have faced in EC branch, 2018. Few IITs
have a written test too. My rank was 1389 (GEN) in EC branch 2018 paper (The
toughest EC paper in recent years). I knew that the fight was tough at this rank but I
filled all the possible forms to get a call and indeed I got 7–8 of them from core
branches. I knew that if my interviews go well, I may get a chance.

IIT KANPUR - MS in Signal Processing and Communication Networks (3 senior

and renowned professors in panel, interview happened on black board)

1
. General Introduction for 1 min.

2. What is a random process? Explain it on the board. I explained it using a

generalized sample space and told him that if samples are assigned time
varying wave form, then that waveform is a random process.

3. Can I assign a vector to the samples in place of real numbers or time varying
wave forms?

said about their joint pdf?

6
. Explain strict sense stationarity and wide sense stationarity? Are all SSS, WSS
as well? And are all WSS process, SSS as well?

7
. I have a discrete signal x(n) having ’N’ samples (0 to N-1) and a noise w(n)
with same number of samples. How can the SNR be 10db in this case?

8. What tools do we have, to study the statistical properties of a signal? (he

meant to ask expectation, variance, co-variance and all)

9
. Can we define the statistical property of a single random variable without co-
variance?

10
. Some talks about my home town and family. My interests in general life etc.

IIT KHARAGPUR - M.Tech in Control Systems Engineering (2 professors in the

panel)

1
. Wrote a second order equation in terms of x as independent and y as
dependent variable and asked me if that was linear or not?

2. What is the principle that we apply to check linearity of a system?

(Homogenity and superposition was the answer)

3. Wrote three transfer functions and asked me to find the final value. One of
them had pole on RHS so it’s answer would be infinite or not defined.

4
. Asked me to find the final phase of all the three given transfer functions
without solving. (At infinity, every pole is -90 degree contribution while
every zero is +90 degree so it can be solved in mind..seeing the number of
poles and zeroes)

5
. Wrote a function and asked to find the unit response for that.

6
. What is controllability and observability?

7
. In one of the transfer functions given above, he asked me to comment on the
Gain margin of the system. As the polar plot was not crossing the real axis for
that one, the answer was infinite.

IIT GANDHINAGAR - SIGNAL PROCESSING (3 professors, interview was again

on white board)

1
. Asked questions related to rank of matrix. Almost 2–3 questions…if i
transpose, will the rank change or not etc.. Gave a 2*3 matrix and asked the
rank.

2. What is a hamming code? Can you decode a received code using it?

3. What is entropy? Explain its significance and unit too in communication

systems.

4
. What is mututal information? What is practically meant by mututal
information?

5
. If x and y are independent, then what is the mutual information between
them?

6
. Radar range equation

7
. How can you define antenna gain? Relation between gain and directivity of
an antenna.

8. Can you write all the 4 Maxwell Equations? Also explain the Ampere’s Law
equation of Maxwell and it’s significance.

They asked about basic image processing from a few students as well. I didn’t face it
because it was not in my curriculum of B.Tech. This was mainly because
Geoinformatics deals a lot in satellite image processing.

You must be thinking that most of the questions were so difficult. I was also thinking
the same way before I appeared for these interviews. I am also an average guy who got
the opportunity to attend these interviews.

My strategy was to pick subjects of my interest. When I got the calls for these
respective branches, I figured out that digital communication and signal & systems
would be very helpful to tackle these interviews. Hence, I began preparing using
NPTEL, my coaching notes and a few standard books in the last 10–12 days. I picked
up important topics like z-transform, fourier, Random variables and processes, and
Digital modulation techniques. I referred NPTEL for all this at 2 times the speed.

Luckily, most of the questions were a part of my last 10–12 days revision for the
interview. So I was able to answer many of them.

Don’t worry, they try their best to get the answer out from you. They will give you
certain hints too. You may give wrong answer, but be sure about what you say. If on
every answer they dodge you for confirmation and you keep on changing the answer,
then that is not good as per my experience. They will be very calm and you can ask for
some time as well to think about the answer. But don’t give wrong answer with utter
confidence. If you are confused, you can ask them to allow you to think.

And trust me, that the thinking time is very helpful. It was indeed for me.

If you have given an average performance, then 70–30 ratio is what does your
evaluation. 70% for gate exam and 30% interview marks, but if you have given an
exceptionally well interview, then they will definitely select you regardless of your
rank.

I also got calls from BHU, Mandi, bhubaneshwar, Hyderabad (MS) and IIST. But due
to date clashes I couldn't attend all of them. At my rank you will certainly get these
calls and direct admission at Dhanbad in a few rounds for core branch.

By the way, I am finally going to pursue M.Tech from IIT-Bombay Geoinformatics

branch. At Kanpur also I got shortlisted, but I am in waiting list for now.

Inbox me for any other interview related query. Will be glad to help.

All the best…:)

Interview experience at IIT D

I got an interview call for M.tech in computer Technology from IITD. I was called
along with 500 other candidates. First they gave all of us a slip where we had to write
our preference (M.Tech or M.S.), major topics prepared, Minor topics prepared, Final
year project. This was done to help interviewers to set the tone of the interview.

I wrote my preference as Mtech, Major topics as Digital Electronics and

Microprocessors, minor topic as memory hierarchy. I wrote two projects which I did
in my engineering.

My turn came at 8:00pm. I went inside. The interview panel consisted of two
members. They looked at my slip and simply put it off. They told they want to ask me
questions from other topics. I told ok.

The interview questions are as follows:

1. Plot (1/x)
2. Is it differentiable?
3. Plot its derivative?
4. There is one biased coin. There is 0.6 probability of getting next head if present is
head. There is 0.5 probability of getting next tail if present is tail. What is steady state
probability?
5. Does the microprocessor know the presence of cache memory in the system. If we
replace microprocessor with a DSP then what will be your answer?
6. What is the difference between buffer, latch and Flip flop? Is buffer a
combinational circuit or a sequential circuit?
7. How many transistors are required to make a latch? Justify?
8. A and B are two accumulator registers. I want to swap their contents. How to swap?
I don’t want to use temporary registers then how to do it? How to do it using logical
operation? How to do it using only arithmetic operations? How to do it using stack?
How to do it using only rotate instructions?
