IIT DELHI INTERVIEW EXPERIENCES

IIT Delhi is the one of the IIT which has place advantage. Being in capital means you can virtually go anywhere and not being a campus oriented means you are very much linked to the outer world.

I went there and noticed that there were not any individual cycles except the cycle rickshaws. It had a comparatively small campus, with almost everything concentrated to one main gigantic building.

Any way here also i didn’t get any course. I was called for environmental and water resources interview. Unlike IIT Bombay and Kanpur here there is not much focus on interview. There is no rigorous drilling compared to Bombay and Kanpur. The primary thing is the GATE score and to avoid the nonsense that I had done.

Anyway my first interview was environmental and I was the fourth one and those who were finally selected had rank lower than me. I was not even in the waitlist. Here is the reason.

ENVIRONMENTAL

They first asked me why I had one year GAP. And my reply was I was studying for GATE. They asked whether you are preparing for any other exam. And unfortunately i replied IES. They smirked a little and asked questions just to call it an interview. They had already considered me out of the equation.

Any way questions were like what is air modelling, what is primary pollutant, which industry causes release of SO₂, design principles of sedimentation tank? Answered all good and I was happy until the result day I found out that I was not even in wait list which had ranks 200 below me. Moral of story, even if you are studying IES, or have took coaching, your reply should be “i studied alone and I want to do this programme only and nothing else.fun fact is that IIT Delhi had actually initiated disciplinary proceeding against environmental branch guys for leaving institution and attending made easy.

WATER RESOURCES

However i had no inkling of mistake I had done that during next water resource interview. They were very kind and asked to introduce myself. Then they asked” since the water resource is the second option would you go if you get in environmental”, and since my interview was good I said “no”. OKAY, you can see how stupid I can be. If you want to see more interview stupidity you can look under LABELS interview link on your right side. Till now at time of writing I have attended 23 on campus and off campus (job and mtech) interviews. Anyway never do that. They asked me all sort of hydrograph questions. I HAVE EXPLAINED ALL THOSE DETAILED IN OTHER IITs POSTS UNDER LABEL.TO AVOID REPEATION I AVOID IT HERE. However, I was not interested in the interview as I was pleased with environmental feat. The funny thing was that the interviewer who had interviewed me was alumni of my college CET.I Have Avoided the Humorous Aspects in These Posts.
