- Interview begins with a very brief conversation about the candidates’ background and prior experience, if any. If you have/pursuing masters some details on your M.Tech project might be asked.
- The candidates will be asked to choose one or two broad areas of undergraduate-level Mechanical Engineering in which he/she wants to be questioned. The typical areas are: Solid mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Thermal Engineering, Dynamics, Design and Materials.
- In that area, typically a small problem will be asked. The candidates have to solve it on the black board. More questions/clarifications will be asked from the candidates while the problem is being solved or after that is solved. This will be followed-up with more questions.
- You might be queried on the second area of preference, if necessary.
