Fortunately I was called for interview on 17th May 2010 to be held at IIT Kharagpur GATE Office. I was the first candidate to be called by the interview board.
There were two members in my board one gentleman and other a lady.
Initially they judged my research aptitude and asked me Why I want to pursue M.Tech.
Ans: I said : I had an ambition for research from the very beginning of my professional career.
Then he asked why dont u go for Ph.D?
I said definitely I will pursue it if I get a chance.
Then they asked abt the stream. My first choice was Control Systems. They said Control is Completely saturated and it is very difficult to pursue research in it. Why do you want to pursue research in this field?
Ans: Due to 2 reasons:
1. Because it is my ambition.
2. Although it is difficult but to cope and stand amidst difficulties alone paves an unique and great career.
They were quite satisfied.
Now came the Time of Final Year Project. Friends be very thorough in this matter. And one absurd question they did ask: What new research hav u done in your project?
Ans: My project was: "Direct Vector Control of PMSM using Fuzzy Logic Controller". I boldly answered nothing new research sir but my project was such that I could learn a lot of topics which are essential topics of M.Tech curriculum. They were quite satisfied.
Now the final round. They asked very basic questions like we all read in +2:
1. What are random numbers.
2. What is Faradays Law and Lenz Law. Why do we ignore the negative sign caused due to Lenzs law in mathematical calculations.
3. What is the principle of synchronous motor? Why there is a locking between stator and rotor magnetic flux?
4. Define Hysterisis.
5. What is Permeability, Retentivity, Susseptibility, Coercivity.
6. What is Ohms law. Give the mathematical equation.
