* tell abt ur self * what is ur strength? * What are the initiatives u have taken to learn apart from ur regular studies? * what were u doing till now? * have u organized any event in ur college? was the event held for the first time at ur college? * what do u think is a major failure in ur life which always haunts u ? * since i was born and brought up in city outside Bangalore they asked me whether i was comfortable working anywhere in India.
analytical ques:
1: u are given with two identical iron bars. one of them is magnetized and the other is not. u are suppose to find which one is magnetized. u are not suppose to use any other thing.
my ans: first time i told that i will suspend the bars freely. but then they told me that i am not suppose to use any external help. i took some time and then realized that a magnetic bar in the middle repels towards the end . i told that place one of the bars horizontal & then move the other one perpendicularly to it . if it repels towards any of ends then the horizontal one is magnetized if it attracts then is not. They were convinced
2: what is the result of (x-a)*(x-b)*(x-c)*...........*(x-y)*(x-z) ?
my ans: i told that since there is a term (x-x) the answer is zero. They told ok.

INTERVIEW
interview was very cool. only thing is that they will see ur confidence and way of thinking. they also asked me two reasoning problems .
* tell abt ur self * what is ur strength? * What are the initiatives u have taken to learn apart from ur regular studies? * what were u doing till now? * have u organized any event in ur college? was the event held for the first time at ur college? * what do u think is a major failure in ur life which always haunts u ? * since i was born and brought up in city outside Bangalore they asked me whether i was comfortable working anywhere in India.
analytical ques:
1: u are given with two identical iron bars. one of them is magnetized and the other is not. u are suppose to find which one is magnetized. u are not suppose to use any other thing.
my ans: first time i told that i will suspend the bars freely. but then they told me that i am not suppose to use any external help. i took some time and then realized that a magnetic bar in the middle repels towards the end . i told that place one of the bars horizontal & then move the other one perpendicularly to it . if it repels towards any of ends then the horizontal one is magnetized if it attracts then is not. They were convinced
2: what is the result of (x-a)*(x-b)*(x-c)*...........*(x-y)*(x-z) ?
my ans: i told that since there is a term (x-x) the answer is zero. They told ok.
