In other NIT's they take a written test, followed by GD and then the Interview.

I'm from Electrical Engineering.
I was the second person to be interviewed. Some of the questions posed to me were:

Where do you live?

How far is your home from the institute?

Are you a day-scholar or a hosteller?

What is your greatest strength?

How can you justify it?

What is your weakness?

What are the equipments that you would use inbetween when u have to connect a transformer to busbars?

What is the function of an isolator?

Why only 3 phase?

Why not 4 phase & 5 phase?

What are the different types of Circuit Breakers?

Which is the latest one?

Is the voltage distribution on a string insulator same throughout?

If not, then how to equalise it?

How would u decide between whether to use a 2 winding transformer or an autotransformer?

How can u define the efficiency of a transformer?

Why are the generating voltages limited to 33 kV?

If now-a-days we have High voltage insulation systems say XLPE which take up very little space, then why don't we go for higher generating voltages?

What is the symbol of a turbine?

Why is the symbol of that very shape?
