Greetings!
I appeared for GATE Computer Science in 2018 but could not manage to get into any decent IIT for Monsoon admissions. I had applied to IIT-Hyderabad's winter admissions for M.Tech. (RA) and got shortlisted yesterday.
The interview is to be held on 26th November and I'm not at all prepared as I was not expecting to get shortlisted. This is literally going to be the first interview of my life and therefore I have no experience at all.
I'm currently preparing for GATE-2019 and I also do some freelancing in my free time. I have almost completed all subjects except Engg. Mathematics and Computer Organization.
My desired research area is Machine Learning and I have completed some basic courses on it as well as made some projects related to it (mainly simple classifiers using CNNs). I also have some other decent projects.
Now I wish to know how should I approach my interview preparation? (as I have only 5-6 days left)
What kinds of questions are generally asked during the interview?
They also mentioned that there may be a written test so what about that? How is the difficulty of such written tests?
Any other advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
