experience at ms interview iit madras (mechanical) 2014 - design
hello friends,
I received call letter 15-20 days before the interview date. It was mention to be prepared for the group you have selected (DESIGN THERMAL or PRODUCTION)
I selected the DESIGN group:
I reached there as per the mentioned date n time. I saw a number of students waiting for further information (5 to 6 times the no of seats in the MS mechanical)
There was a written test for each group, which were seated in different rooms.
my questions were very basic like:(Theory + obj)
1. draw elastic material stress vs strain curve
2. derive the expression of elongation for loading under self weight
some easy objective questions
but the time allotted was less, 30 mins and 15 questions.
After 1 hour of the written test they announced the result, and i was selected.
The number has reduced to half (2.5 to 3 times the no of seats in the MS mechanical)
now the INTERVIEW (most imp part for MS)
panel of 8-10 members all in early to end forties. Some easy questions like
1. tell me about yorself
2. why MS?
3. why IITM?
4. why DESIGN?
Then the battle started:
It was 50 % mathematics and 50% design portion.
mathematics
1. draw graphs of various functions
2. what is limit of a function
3. solve the differential eqn
4. matrix questions (easy part)
design
1. why mechanical designing is done and its methodology and how it is different from other designs (Read chapter 1 of V B BHANDARI)
2. what is fatigue failure ? need of S-N Curve ?
3. some basic questions on engineering mechanics
CAMPUS: the IITM campus is awesome you will an educational hub in the jungle with a lot of animals hovering near the buildings of the department. The scene was mesmerizing
RESULT: I was wait-listed but finally selected. BUT I didn't join the course.
do comment for any personal query.
thank u....
