Interview Experience

The interview was conducted on 7th December Online.

There were three professors on the panel. One of them was Dr. Preeti Ranjan.

At the beginning, one of the professors asked: “Deepak, you have also applied for MS(R) CSE. What is your preference?”

I clearly stated that my preference was CSE.

They then asked about my preferred subjects, and I answered: Operating Systems and Computer Architecture.

Technical Discussion

One of the professors started with an Operating Systems question:

Winter Admission Process

This time, when I received the mail for the written test, I was much more confident. The pattern was again Programming + Core CSE, but unlike the summer exam, there was no break—we had 2 hours total for both sections.

The paper was definitely harder than the summer written test, without any doubt. I immediately realized that it was hard for me → hard for everyone. So I focused on accuracy, as negative marking was there (+4, -1).

Summer Admission Process

During the summer admission cycle, my 8th semester result was pending (Current CGPI: 8.8).

I received an email from IIT Delhi for the Written Test for MS(R) CSE.
At that time, my end-semester exams were also going on, so I had limited preparation time.

The written test syllabus mentioned the following areas:

Data Structures and Algorithms
Hardware and Software Systems
Probability and Linear Algebra
Discrete Mathematics and Logic

I had not studied Probability and Linear Algebra for a long time, so I decided to focus mainly on the other subjects, where I was relatively more comfortable.
