My isro(electronics) Interview experience:

I attended Isro Interview in November 2014 for the post of scientist/engineer(my written marks

g
131/240 and cutoff-120 and no weightage for written

in
I had already had Interview experience in Barc and bel that helped me alot in Isro Interview.
I prepared revising gate syllabus in which where I was weak for Interview . I utilized Wikipedia and

er
some other websites well for some concepts clearing.

ne
I had to revise my short notes till before half an hour for Interview. I was so tensed whether I would
clear this time or not.
gi
When I entered the Interview room there consisting a panel of 10 members sit in an elliptical way
En
and at one end I was offered to sit.
I wished them good morning unintenionally even if it's not morning they laughed and asked me to sit.
Firstly,they asked me to tell my favourite subjects.I said digital circuits,analog crcuits,signals and
of

systems and electromagnetics(but no question asked me from ss and EMT)

The chairman I think asked me the first question
ay

Write a vhdl programme for n bit multiplier.I was scared with that I said I have no grip on vhdl but
digital and said how n bit mltiplier is built using adders and some gates.
ew

2)what is frequency divider

Explained
at

3)oother pannel member(maybe communication engineer) offered me to choose communications

G

I said OK then he asked

What is CDMA,GSM,FDMA and why CDMA not being used.
4)what is noise and various types of channels
5)one and only lady madam started asking from edc
What is bridge rectifier and it's uses compared to others and ripple frequency and the circuit
diagrams and also peak inverse voltages etc
I explained all
6)someone related to VLSI asked me
What is noise marigin and why it's used.
Noise margin of cmos
If a high power CMOS is used then how can be its noise maigin levels compared to low power
CMOS levels
7)I think he's from instrumentation started asking me
Explain transducer where I am most interested
I explained microphone with Faraday's law
And that was awesome
He asked me difference between led and pin diode
Solar and photo voltaic cell(here I fumbled)
8)back to digital aked
What is dual port memory (said don't know)
Explain DMA controller(explained)
9)asked what is smps and why it's used in CPUs
I said definition but said no idea about smps(here they emphasised me to tell but I couldn't )
10)digital:
I want a bulb to glow when 0 is given
I said(not gate) then he asked me what if NOT gate doesn't have current driving capability
I said to use Darlington amplifier.

g
In overall I answered around 70-75% questions

in
Interview duration: 35 mins

er
The panel of Interview is so good and helpful
They didn't ask any project related questions (maybe because I was pass out of 2012 or they may

ne
not ask)
Finally one thing I want to say is that be crystal clear in your concepts and the questions are not
gi
tough. You can crack the interview if you are good at basic conepts.
