I applied in-person. I interviewed at North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC) in Jun 2013
Interview
I just walked in my professor's office and talked to him about my previous research and express my interest in joining his lab. He then said he will give me funding and showed me around the lab. He is easy going person but pushes a lot in research. He requires that I need to finish 3 publications during my PhD here. And I got only part RA part TA position.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC) in Apr 2018
Interview
Difficult but do-able, didn't ask anything that felt overwhelming. Good questions and friendly people, if you're willing to put in the time its a good place to land. If you get the chance, I would recommend.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC) in Oct 2016
Interview
The interviewer started with basic questions, for eg courses taken in the semester. Then i was asked basic conceptual questions of electrical engineering, as basic as resistance, capacitance, magnetic and electrical fields concepts. I was asked to explain my past work projects and current study projects. Interview lasted 45 minutes and was an good overall experience for me.

Question 1
The questions was regarding one of the concepts on my final year bachelors projects. It was about magnetic field density concept question, which was perplexing and which I didn't expect.

Interview
There is no formal interview, but you need to get good grades from the professor you want to work with. He/she will give you a small amount of work and expect you do that. You must be eager to learn about his/her research field and show that you will be available to work for long period of time (a few semesters or years). If you have already had a publication at the same or related field, it is a big plus. However, this all highly depends on the professor, how many students he/she has and his/her funding.
