Oh I am taking interview...!

It is boasting news for me to say that I have taken interview four times for incoming engineers in my company. 

Taking interview is not at all simple one. Some time I got shock,some time laughed at answers;some time I was sad to see the sad faces and some times it was ridiculous situations. Any way, my aim here is not to explain what happened to me in interview. 

I have observed that many students from engineering colleges coming out with big projects names.My thinking is that,at engineering college level, however big and good may be a project the basics of it is must be clear.Many times student presented their projects as OFDM,QPSK modulation,motors,regulator-related projects. 

I shocked to see,many are not able to tell about the requirements of modulations,they don't know how the motor works,they don't know why regulation required though their projects stands on these principles. If some one not aware of basics how to trust the project itself? 

Another big trouble that I saw was lack of standards in drawing basic electronic symbols. There is a standard symbol for BJT, MOSFET, AND gate,OR gate,MUX, DFF etc.




Even if  we understand what the candidate is trying to say,we need to more concentrate on what s/he writes on paper.Because ultimately what s/he writes on the paper is going to be practical knowledge used in the companies or any organizations. 

Ultimately what I want to say is any engineering student needs to give very good attention to basic knowledge.The standards of electronics symbols/equations needs to be preserved.The lectures need to stress on in these lines. I hope, next interview will be happy one...!
