IISc Bangalore Admission Process via GATE 2025 Securing a score above the cutoff is step one. Here’s how admission unfolds: GATE Scorecard: Candidates need a valid GATE 2023, 2024, or 2025 score. Results were out on March 19, 2025, via GOAPS. Application: Apply via IISc’s admission portal (iisc.ac.in) and register on COAP by April 17, 2025, to update COAP IDs. Counseling: COAP conducts multiple rounds (typically 5), and releases offers based on cutoff ranks. Candidates accept/reject offers online. Interview (Select Programs): Some departments (e.g., AI, Bioengineering) may conduct interviews post-cutoff, adding a layer of selection. Seat Confirmation: Accepted candidates report to IISc by July 2025 to finalize admission.

I have given interviews of ESE ,IISc along with ONGC , IOCL , BPCL (college and gate) , EIL ,BARC , ISRO (college and written) and have been selected in all except my first one ;) So lets start with a failure First interview : Isro where I panicked in the beginning and needless to say the result . I had prepared for interview by memorizing the introductions and favorite topic and project. Then what went wrong ?? I could not deliver properly and my confidence got a hit and I panicked. Lesson learnt : Be calm , composed and when a question is thrown at you ,never reply instantly . Think for some 4–5 seconds (the wait time should not become uneasy ) ,frame an answer start or think of concepts to be told and then start the answer . If you don't know , then also this thing shows that you tried to give attempt . If no answer comes in your mind , you can say sorry sir , I don't know about this but will learn about it (In future learn it as it will help you in other interviews ). This helped me as my answers were more organized and framed as compared to instant answers. Then never bluff much or if want to say something that you are not confident , " sorry sir , I don't know the exact answer but I can guess if you allow ." If yes tell the explanation and its reasoning. Then comes the part , " Be Yourself " or try to " Be Ideal " . So what makes you ideal for the Company ?? A company wants a dedicated but practical and thinking person . So whatever you say , there should be layers or at least one layer of reasoning to it . Timeline of a Interview • Introduction : You start with a series of points to start the discussion and make yourself comfortable. A brief intro covers cllg , birthplace, degree branch , college city , family .These will pose some questions . You have to think what can be asked from these keywords and if possible google them like meaning of your name . • Prepare Company specific points. The important subject for that company like Oil psus - chairman , its revenue , some award , welfare schmes , technical working and the subjects knowledge important for them are to be covered specifically like fluid machinery , ic engines . Why do you want to join a company ? What will you offer to company or Why should we hire you ? Some recent news of the company and dont forget to watch the company video on YouTube and its website which itself will give you answers for above questions. • Also learn the Important Subjects and their application and how it is useful in daily life . Technical subjects ( first priority to be given to subjects which are important for their applications , and then all basic laws and definitions of all subjects ) . If the interviewer asks you 2–3 questions from the subject you are uncomfortable ,you can tell " Sorry sir , I have not prepared this subject well . But I have prepared these ….subjects well . " Because instead of wasting time of your interview for questions you dont know , you should use the time for questions you know . Example - An interview with - 10 question ( unanswered or wrong) with 15 questions answered well does not seem appealing compared with an interview with 4 questions ( unanswered including an apology) and 18 questions answered . • Theory of your Projects / Training , problems faced and how you overcame them by using your strengths and their application in Present or future . Always remember , the interviewer mostly comes empty and as you give answers he through reasoning digs out new questions which becomes difficult for us . So you should know what you know well and then after thinking give answers ( layers of reasoning ) . That's why mock interviews are important as you may always look from a same angle but others may help you in looking other important points. • Write some Strengths to tell and incidents to support them . Also prepare for weakness ( makes you human :D ) and tell a strategy like how you are tackling it . • Make some hobbies to tell or prepare some layers of questions to tell about hobbies and why these hobbies help you.

My name was called for the interview I went There were 4 panel members I greeted them They told me to take a seat, I sat Then they asked me about myself I told my name , place , graduation, work experience as GET Then since one batchmate of mine was already interviewed that day just before me, so they asked about do you know him and all and just casual discussions on my work experience( nothing technical) Then they asked my favourite subject, I Told thermodynamics. They asked me to go to the board. They asked do you know what open and closed system is. I said yes. They asked me to write most generalized form of first law of thermodynamics. I wrote "unsteady state energy equation for open system". They asked me to define each term Then they asked what is E in the equation? Then they gave a problem of an initially evacuated tank charging from a pressurized pipeline and asked me to find its final temperature and also tell the assumptions as you proceed. I started to tell them assumptions while simplifying the general equation that I initially wrote and I told assumptions one by one and started erasing the terms I kept neglecting based on those assumptions In between they kept on supporting although I was just thinking of efficient way to write equation I wrote till eqn 1 then they said now leave it now you can do it ( they were not interested in the final answer since we all have remembered it 😂) In between I also suggest if how to approach the same problem without integration by understanding the problem physically that the initial enthalpy of the pressurized gas in the pipeline would become the final internal energy of the gas. But I guess since it was quick approach (single line approach) so the said continue with the integration method.

I'm uncertain about the authenticity of the information regarding the BHEL paper leak that some students have shared with me. If this information is verified, it would be helpful if you could send a mail to the BHEL team and also post about it on Twitter, tagging them. However, it's crucial to confirm the accuracy of the information before taking any action. If the information is legitimate, the BHEL team can investigate further.
