Technical Test : Numerical Question mostly from Electrical Machine (mainly from DC and Induction Machine) and Power System and Theoretical question from Control System, Electrical Machine, Power System, Power Electronics, Digital and Analog Electronics (one or two questions), Circuit Theory.

Description of Technical interview

In Technical part, following questions were asked: 1. Tell me about the project that you have done (I talked about my projects for 2-3 minutes with a brief description about each project. They have not asked any cross questions on it.) 2. What is your favourite subject (I said Digital Electronics and Circuit Theory. After that they said they will ask questions on the Power System.)

In power systems they asked following questions:

- 2 or 3 questions from Transformers. - What is the generation, transmission and distribution voltage in a power system? - What is the Skin effect? - Types of Circuit breakers - What are the types of electrical power and follow up questions like what is relationship between Active and Apparent power

- What are the different sources of energy 3. What are the different electrical equipment 4. As I have told Circuit Theory as my favourite subject they asked following questions in this:

- What is KCL and KVL

- What is Thevenin theorem and its use

- What is use of capacitor and practically where it is used

Description of HR round

What should be the preparation strategy for an aspiring candidate?

1. If you want to prepare for electrical core then it is advisable to read your core subject thoroughly, refer to the standard textbook prescribed by college and NPTEL lectures. (mainly Power System, Electrical Machines, Power Electronics, Circuit Theory, Control System and basics of Digital and Analog Electronics) 2. Practice previous year GATE questions. 3. Along with theory, it is advisable to practice questions also. If you solve more questions then the concept will be cleared more and build up confidence ultimately.

Resources for Preparation

1. Refer IndiaBix, FACEPrep and other popular websites for Aptitude. 2. Refer GATE ACADEMY (YouTube videos) for previous year GATE questions solutions mainly in Digital and Analog Electronic (they discuss solutions along with all the concept involved in that particular questions) 3. MADE EASY previous year solved questions (Book)

Any additional information you want to provide from your side

1. EEE students be clear with your goal early whether you want to get job in Software, Hardware, Electrical Core, management side OR you want to go for higher studies. 2. Do projects (it is very important, if possible try to make a prototype also). For project ideas you can refer to INSTRUCTABLE sites (https://www.instructables.com/) and other popular sites. You can join Technical TEAMS of your college. And you can approach professors also for projects.

3. Join Clubs and Teams of your college as it helps in developing teamwork, leadership and other skills also apart from technical skills.

4. Take the help of your friends or seniors and give some mock interviews before them and ask them to point out your mistakes, if any.

ALL THE BEST 😊
