The road behind the Main Building, leading to the arch in IIT Bombay (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Disclaimer: i personally had avoided IIT Bombay due to a
hell of diahorrea. However my friends had narrated their experiences.
Rated the best civil engineering college in India by world’s
most trusted ranking system, IIT Bombay was the hot favourite for all top
rankers. The system of admission is 70% gate and 30 % written test /and
interview. However my personal opinion is as high as 10% is given to first
preference and interview performance is also very much valued. Need proof.OBC
guy with rank about 350 had structures in IIT Bombay where about 40 people
where above him in same category. However he had prepared like hell. It all
boils down to GATE score suited first preference and heavy interview.
The tests were all basics. Some questions were repetition of
IIT Kanpur. If you have not read it I suggest reading it first. It’s in your
right under LABELS. Some interview
questions I gathered different. CHOOSE your first option correctly as
professors here are fanatical about their subjects and will under no
circumstance allow a second option guy get in so easily.Also there has been selection for guys with rank 11000 for transportation in general category.but don't be disillusioned that you will surely get.read more and see how he got.Also some sites say that multiple choice questions are asked.there were cases when descriptive was asked and it is better to get basics right.
STRUCTURES
QUESTIONS LIKE ductile detailing, slenderness ratio (L/R,
remember its radius of gyration in steel), drawing single portal, finding no.
of freedoms, failure position in simple beam (it middle), different tests,
graphs of shear in beam, L beam, concrete basic stress strain graphs, bmd of
different LOAD conditions, how to do steel calculation, STEEL DESIGN force
calculation, how to do column design, special publication uses etc.
GEOTECH
Basic level questions of geotech and some application level
which I don’t bother discussing as there is no point.
TRANSPORTATION
basic definition like what is sight distance, OSD etc. if
you don’t answer that then interview will go into application level
questions.SSD definition is defined by like ‘The distance between the eye level of driver at 1.2 m......yeah you
bet, I will give answer as well in your dreams .graphs questions of traffic
like graph between (q and velocity), difference between basic capacity and
practical capacity etc. Also i had earlier mentioned about 1100 ranker getting and not 200 ranker.For high rankers its imperative to choose transportation as first choice,the 200 ranker had it in second choice.also 1100 got transportation because he had project in transportation and it was asked to him like anything.He answered it all and if you have similar condition you may also try by not too worrying about what other say.there is a specific reason why the last rank cut off of iit where interviews are held is not displayed.
WATER RESOURCE
Same as IIT k, only here learn unit hydrograph definition by
heart like your life depends on it.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Questions like the definition of BOD etc, the mechanism of
all process, stocks law, air pollutants etc. More questions in IIT Delhi, you
can look into and click under LABELS.
OCEAN ENGINEERING
Draw the hydrodynamic force graph of a point under water.
You can
comment you doubts or suggestions in comment box below and I can soon get to
you whenever it’s possible.
hello friend, thanks for ur guidance. my gate2014 rank is 3284, score 541, im from general category
ReplyDeletemain thing is that i got interview call from iit bombay in remote sensing.
is there any use of attending and is there any chance that i can get through it....waiting for ur help with whole heart
Firstly, great job maintaining a blog exclusively for civil engineers. Its one of its kind on Internet.
ReplyDeleteI have a question though. How tough are the written exams for IITB N IITD. How should I prepare to get through these.???
thank you for such a valuable information. i have applied for IIT-R through sponsorship quota, i just wanted to know how the interview will be n wat are the chances of getting shortlisted through sponsorship quota?? kindly reply soon
ReplyDeletei received call letter from iitb for ocean engineering. can u please suggest some questions for written test in this subject.
ReplyDeleteI have received a call too...what's. ur gate score...mine is 527
ReplyDeletewhat do I prepare for ocean engineering?...do I stand a chance for seat after interview with this score of 527...and air of 3099...IIT Bombay....
ReplyDeleteThis is the first visit of me towards your blog and i got amazing informative data from here, it is very helpful to gate aspirants in civil engineering department.
ReplyDeletei have received call letter from IITM for ocean engineering .what do i prepare ??pls rply as early as possible..
Thank you for creating this type of blog... its amazing bro..
Very interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that attract others, but I'm most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
