IIT Delhi - Part 3 - Interview Experiences

So the day started with the continuation of the previous day.

VDTT is a sponsored program, where in the first round of Interviews will be conducted by the IIT Delhi Professors and the second round of interviews will be done the by Sponsors and the Internal MHRD Project Profs.

VDTT 2nd round:

So although, it was supposed to start @ 9 am in the morning, it started after lunch. So in the mean while, I went to IEC interview (skipping my lunch). To my luck, there were the few professors who interviewed me in VDTT first round. They recognized me and asked me whether I was through in the 1st round of VDTT. I replied kindly that the first round I got in and the next rounds are going on.

The Professors were impressed with my rank and also few questions normally about MOSFET were asked and I was told at that point of time only that you are offered IEC and if you don't fare well in VDTT next round, take it or else leave it fastly.

With the first success, I walked into VDTT interview room.

There were too many presentations.
 Companies :    Qualcomm, Texas, Cypress, Cadence.
 Projects: Nanoscale Devices, Smart Cane/Refreshable Braille Display,Mass Spectrometer                                                 


So out of the 300 odd students that came into the initial phase, roughly 25 students were in for the next round and roughly 10 seats are available..

Lets fight...          

We were asked to keep the preferences to the 7 Sponsors. I have kept Cypress in the top and followed with Cadence, Qualcomm, Texas.

Frankly I was afraid with Texas because of the previous experience in IIT Madras. At the same time, I was dis appointed that I was un prepared to attend the Interview of Qualcomm because I was not in touch with Communications for a while.

                In the next post, I will share my Interview. How things went. ..
                                                     How was the story of my failure agian... and a success story from it..

IIT Delhi - Part 2 - Interview Experiences


So I came to the room after the VDTT Interview and slept in the room without disturbing others who were having different interviews

I woke up @ 5 and along with 2 others went to the VDTT Office for the results @ 6pm on the same day. The results got delayed and it went on to 9pm finally. We waited out of curiosity and then you know what happened...

                  I AM IN ......




So after a lot of failures, I had some hope now. 
I had two VLSI Interviews on hand the next day and Computer Technology Interview also.

I filled myself with all the inspiration. I thought to myself, yes this is moment may be for which I am waiting. I need to give my best.

I need to thank one of my friend's friend Kalyan Kota. He was helpful in making a lot of decisions.


So the day ended for many but it never ended for me because I was anxious, afraid, hopeful for a brighter tomorrow.

I read upto late night. - I always had only 2 books for my Electronics - Sedra & Smith and Razavi.

So the next day. 
             
                                   Let me check it out.. 

 Hope things go fine. - IEC / VDTT.
                                                              Please..
