• Sometime you will be asked only two questions in entire one hour of interview but related questions will be asked.
BARC Interview Strategy
Many students ask this question. Students think that reading some different books will help them developing the concepts being asked in the BARC interview. Actually, it is not true. Concepts learned from any book will be sufficient if you have done these properly. Questions asked will be simple but requiring the thinking. So, the best way to learn the swimming is start swimming. Similarly, best way to master the art of interview is start facing these. Start going for the mock interviews of BARC for the Posts of Category-I Stipendiary Trainee (Electrical).
The interview questions for BARC Stipendiary Trainee (Category-I) will focus on assessing your knowledge, skills, and suitability for the specific post. There will no HR round, only technical questions will be asked. While the exact questions will vary depending on the specific research area, here are some sample questions to give you an idea:
• Introduce yourself.
• Explain the working principle of a DC motor and how it differs from an AC motor.
• Describe the factors affecting the power factor of an AC circuit.
• How would you design a simple voltage regulator circuit?
• Explain the operation of a transformer and its different types.
• Briefly explain the working principle of a logic gate and give an example.
• Describe the operation of a flip-flop and its different types.
• How would you design a simple counter circuit?
• Explain the difference between combinational and sequential circuits.
• Describe the working principle of a thyristor and its applications.
• Explain the difference between PWM and PFM control techniques.
• How would you design a simple DC-DC converter circuit?
• Explain the concept of power factor correction and its importance.
• Briefly explain the concept of feedback control and its types.
• Describe the different types of controllers used in control systems.
• How would you analyze the stability of a simple control system?
• Explain the concept of PID control and its applications.
• You are faced with a problem in an electrical circuit. How do you approach troubleshooting and identify the root cause?
