My name is Harshit Kumar Jaiswal GATE Rank 1243I had my GD and PI today at 10:30am slot on 24/04/2018 at NITIE.

First they asked us to sit in auditorium where we were shown introduction videos and then we were told to put our document in the asked order.

After that document verification procedure took more than 1 hour.

GD : My GD group was the last in 10:30am slot, so all the remaining students were put in my group. So the group comprised of 13 candidates. The topic of my group was very easy and general "Use of advertisement a waste of resources"

Total 2 min of time was given to gather our points and 17 min for discussion and 2 min for conclusion. I was third person to speak. In this way I was able to give 3-4 entries. Overall GD went Ok and no fish market was created. There was so much time that after 10 mins we were out of ideas. Almost everyone got a chance to speak. Although 2-3 students still didn't spoke.

PI : After GD we were made to go for PI. The volunteer escorting me told me not to panic as I was fortunate to have the most lenient interview panel of them all.
The panel comprised of three people, two male and one female ( According to the volunteer, their backgrounds were Manufacturing, Quality & HR, respectively). Almost every question to me was asked by one interviewer, who I think was from the manufacturing background. The question they asked were:

1. Tell us about yourself.
TOLD IN ABOUT 90 SECONDS

2. What was your final year project ?
TOLD IN ABOUT 90 SECONDS

3. (While reading my marksheet) Why have you scored so less in Industrial Automation?
ALMOST SPEECHLESS

4. I see that you have studied NDT in BTech. What is NDT?
TOLD IN SHORT TO THE POINT WITH ONE EXAMPLE

5. The subject NDT was of 100 marks and you are explaining so shortly with only one technique. Explain in detail and name 5 techniques.
EXPLAINED BUT ONLY 3 EXAMPLES

5. You have done extra curricular activities related to automobile, tell us what have you studied in the subject Automobile Engineering?
TOLD ABOUT ALL SECTIONS LIKE STEERING, BRAKING, ETC

6. Do you know any new technology in Transmission system?
TOLD THEM ABOUT CVTs CONSTRUCTION, WORKING AND USAGE.

7. Have you heard of ABS?
TOLD THEM ABOUT WORKING AND USAGE.

The interview was very short (just 10 mins) but I think it went well.

Q1- Told me to draw a conical horizontal bar and specified temperature at both ends and asked me to draw temp profile.
Q2- Same as above but thermal conductivity varying with temperature.
Q3 -Told me to draw a cylinder and specified temperature at outer area and somewhere in middle and asked me to tell the temp profile.
Q4- Same as above but thermal conductivity varying with temperature.

Q7- Draw a cantilever beam and apply a vertical load at some gap from free end asked me to draw deflection curve.
I answered but he gave me some alternate curves and asked me that " aisa bhi to ho skta hai..Apne waisa hi kyu banaya " ?
Q7- Asked what type of stress bar will feel?
Q8- Then told me to assume the cross-section of bar to be solid circular and asked me to draw bending stress variation.
Q9- Now assume it hollow circular and asked bending stress variation.

Q16- A tank filled with water supported over a support at middle. If disturbed it can topple on any side. Put a thread in water along the breadth of tank dividing the tank in two parts
Now put wooden small balls on one side of thread one by one without jerk thread will restrict them from going on other side
What will happen will it topple ?
Q17- Boiling will be fast where ? At plane or at the top of hill ? Why?
Q18- Heat a vessel with water inside and cool it under tap suddenly now when you open it , It does not open easily  why ??
Q19- Draw a metallic cylinder with a piston in equilibrium initially inside condition ( P1,V1). Now restrict the motion of piston and put a weight W over it. Now remove the restrictions .What will happen ? Draw the process.
Q20- Same as above but now put weight gradually in fraction of W/100. Till it reaches,  What will happen? Asked me to differentiate between both condition.
Interview finished.

Then asked me about when I will return ?

BARC INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE(MECHANICAL)AIR-244

The panel consisted of 4 members. 

They began with a brief 10-15 minutes discussion about my homeplace and reasons why I left my previous job and also asked what I know about BARC Interviews.

They were very friendly and easy going and told me to be calm and stress free.

After that they asked me to write down my favourite subjects.

I wrote:

1)SOM 

2) Thermodynamics 

3) Heat Transfer 

4) Fluid Mechanics

Q-1: A container containing 10 kg of water is kept on weighing scale .If a string is tied to a 1 kg ball (density 10 times than water) and is immersed in the container, how the reading of weighing scale will change?? (from the time when ball is completely outside the water to the point when it is completely submerged; assuming tank is sufficiently large so that water does not overflows out of tank).

Q-2 A gas is contained in a frictionless cylinder-piston arrangement whose walls are sufficiently long and the surface above piston is exposed to atmospheric pressure. The whole assembly is turned upside down suddenly (so that pistons starts moving down due to its weight). They asked me to draw P-V diagram of the whole process till a steady state is reached.

Q-3.A balloon is being inflated with air isothermally so that both pressure and volume of air inside balloon is increasing. Then why PV=RT is not followed in this case?? (LHS is increasing while RHS remains same)They also asked me one more question on fluid which they linked with the design afterwards (although I didn’t wrote design in my favourite subjects).

They kept on providing hints in the whole interview which lasted for one hour.
