For those who missed GATE , here is an opportunity for you to get equivalent to IIT.
IIIT Hyderabad
I was on the borderline , rank 273 .
After getting result on 27 February , till 10 June , there was no offer from any IIT.
I appeared for IIIT Hyderabad Interview.
Format of IIIT Hyderabad
Written
Usually conducted mid April .
Level equivalent to GATE . Aptitude test as well as Computer Science test.
Some questions were from GATE previous year in 2015.
But separate cutoffs for both.
Interview
Interview was during mid June 2015.
There were 3 people with lots and lots and lots of knowledge ( You can't fool these guys).
Whatever plans I had , that I will tell about this project or that , all was in vain.
My advice is , just tell what you know .
They asked me question mainly on reverse engineering.
It revolved on how will you solve the following problems?
What should we do in case a extremely popular platform(Java/Flash) is going to get abondoned?
Will we be able to update every machine with some other software . Lots of Flash/Java code is there who will support them? And what if even the source code is lost and you have the executable only? ( I think this was mainly because my job profile was somewhere related to this) . How will you transform it so that it runs on some other platform?
Some questions were on how reverse engineering tools work.
I tried to answer as much as i could .
Then I was asked to use the blackboard and solve few questions based upon AVL trees. I was asked to draw an AVL tree while they were giving the inputs. They asked me to explain every step and made counter questions ( why you selected this and not this node ) .
You should be clear in your concepts.
Further I was asked about difference between different Trees. AVL , balanced etc. and when to use and when not to use them.
Tricky things
As my rank was quite good , they doubted that I might leave IIIT Hyderabad if I get an IIT.
Stay
You can get accomodation in hostel ( some of my friends got).
Else you can easily get an OYO Room in Gachibowli, Hyd.
Result
Selected
Congratulations Brother..
