This initial round will likely be a high-level, in-depth evaluation of your core theoretical knowledge and critical thinking, conducted by senior academic figures.
Final Year Project Discussion: This is a crucial element. Be ready to discuss your project in detail, focusing on:
The Problem: What specific problem did your project aim to solve?
The Solution/Methodology: What technical approach, algorithms, or design choices did you use?
Challenges and Learning: What technical roadblocks did you encounter, and how did you overcome them?
Future Scope: How could the project be expanded or improved?
Core Technical Questions: The deans will likely assess the breadth and depth of your foundational knowledge in relevant areas. They may ask questions that test your understanding of principles, not just facts. For example, they might ask you to:
Compare and contrast two different technologies or algorithms.
Explain the 'why' behind a concept (e.g., "Why is normalization important in databases?").
Solve a conceptual or design problem on the spot.
