Should Reservation be based on Financial Status of an Individual rather than the Social Status?
I Completely nailed the GD. I started second in the Group Discussion and discussed the historical facts regarding why and how reservations came into the picture after independence. And thus continuing I put forward my points 4 times in the full GD along with providing a conclusion or summary of the discussion we had since I had jotted down all the main points. Thus, my group discussion was really good.
PERSONAL INTERVIEW -
I was nearly waiting for 1 and a half hours after my GD to get into the room for PI. In the meantime, I also went and had some snacks. Coming back to the PI, my name was called and I Finally went inside the room. There were 2 panelists, both males and middle-aged and sitting behind a table, busy with some documents. They saw me standing and asked me to take the chair. I sat there with a polite Thank-you. Now they asked me where were my documents I told them I have submitted the same in the morning. They called the Ad-com member and grilled him regarding the same as to why they don’t keep track of the candidate's documents and form. I had become a bit sceptical after this as to whether this had spoiled the mood of the interviewers but the Adcom member managed to calm them down and finally my interview started.
P1: So tell us in brief about yourself.
Answer: I started with the well-rehearsed question starting with my academic background.
P1: [cuts in between] You said you have done a diploma in computer engineering after your 10th. Why is it so and why not 12th and then a degree?
Answer: Again answered him the same politely since I had already prepared for such a question.
P2: So tell me what all did they teach you in diploma?
Answer: I told them about the various subjects, the advantage of the diploma I had in degree, etc.
P1: So tell me what is the difference between a Diploma and a Degree?
Answer: I told them how diploma helps to create a foundation for degree and that degree has few subjects much more advanced than those taught in Diploma.
P2: So tell us an example like from a subject’s perspective the difference between a Diploma and Degree.
Answer: I told them how in diploma I only had DBMS as a subject while in degree I have DBMS too but too a much-advanced level as well as an even higher subject such as the Distributed DBMS.
P1: So tell me what is actually meant by a distributed DBMS?
Answer: Answered the same in detail with example.
P2: So have you heard of the term Cloud Storage. [I answered in the affirmative] So explain to me what is cloud storage. [Jokingly] Does it mean storing data on the clouds that we see in the sky?
Answer: Smiling to his joke I explained to him how data is stored on some remote server and gave an example of Google Drive.
P1: So tell me the advantages of cloud storage over traditional data storage methods.
Answer: Explained to him the advantages of reliability, availability, better protection, etc.
P1: So is there any company in India Providing Cloud storage or using their systems in the cloud?
Answer: Sir, if you consider the Aadhar Database it is itself hosted on the cloud as well as the Railway Booking system which is also hosted on the cloud or by the C-DAC supercomputer.
P2: So coming back to distributed Databases tell me does it mean that the data from a database has been distributed or is it copied or something like that. Explain to me in detail.
Answer: I explained to him in detail how and what are distributed databases, how data is stored etc.
P1: Okay so I think that’s it from our side.
[I personally asked them before leaving if I can ask them a doubt to which they said yes]
I asked them regarding the elective subjects and the trimester pattern of the institute. [They explained to me how the combination of electives work and the trimester pattern and duration]. P2, however, did taunt me, “First you convert your call then you should think about this”.
I smiled at him and finally thanked the interviewers and came out of the interview room. I was satisfied with the interview I gave. A good one lasting around 15 to 18 minutes.
VERDICT: CONVERTED
