      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at IIT Madras

      Interview

      Very Rigorous and highly technical. Recruitment process involves 2 stages: written exam followed by an interview. Out of the two stages, the latter is the most important process for the selection. The aspirant needs a very thorough preparation for cracking the interview. One has to be extremely careful while answering the interview questions.

      There is no particular syllabus. It really depends on the candidate's past degree(s), research training(s) and/or job experience(s). Thus, the questions vary from each and every candidate.
