Getting Off the Ground

As an aspiring aeronautical engineer, you might already know this.

Getting off the ground is lot harder than flying.

Takeoff needs more power than cruise.

So why forget this while applying for a job, attending an interview or working on your academic projects.

These are the initial takeoff stage. Push the throttle to the max, apply yourself and give more than 100%.

How to prepare for M.S. interview…?


Firstly I would like to congratulate to everyone who had received interview call letter for M.S.(By research ) from IIT Madras…..As you had already received call letter for interview that means 50 % of selection is in your favour ,now to make 50 to 100 % you have to prepare nicely for the interview.

Unless in the case of M.Tech. Where admission solely depends upon your GATE rank rather than your interview , M.S. is the case where interview matters the most .So here it goes,

Tip 1: 1st make up your mind , In which specialization you want to work weather its structure, fluid, propulsion.

Tip 2 : Go through all the basics of the specialization .for example : if you wish to do MS from thermal than you must be well in 1st law,S.F.E.E.(steady flow energy equation) and its application,2nd law,3rd law,what is Cp,what is Cv,unit of Cp.This simple simple thing matters the most…..all they want to know is your basics is right or not ……for fluid : study continuity equation,momentum equation ,energy equation,bernoulli's equation ,fluid statics ,kinematics and dynamics .again MAKE YOUR BASICS CLEAR.

Tip 3 : If you don't know anything which they had asked ,tell them frankly that you don't know or you had studied but you are not getting it right now…..DON'T TRY TO MAKE THEM FOOL BY GIVING RANDOM ANSWER by this way you are just decreasing your chances of selection .

Tip 4 : Don't feel nervous for the interview .they all will make you friendly by asking some personal questions .

Tip 5 : In case you get stuck ,while you are giving answer they may help you by suggesting some things so keep your ears open and listen to each and every word they are saying attentively .you can also ask for their help ….

Hope it had helped you to get some insights of the interview.
If you had another question than feel free to ask me…

Thanks,

Modi Pritesh

Experience matters ... !!

A question asked by student to Natrajan sir after GATE class..

A room is full of oxygen and if i increase the temp of the room ,will oxygen get burned….?

We all know how Natrajan sir clears doubt clear by giving simple simple example. He explains with such a example that we can not forget for a long time.

Bellow is his answer..

I'm a teacher and I can not teach my self . I need students to teach. Similarly oxygen is oxidizer, it can not be burnt by itself, it needs fuel to get burn.

Natarajan sir is a very well known faculty of Anna university.He is also visiting faculty of GIE.

It's not just your talent........ Interview Tip

Getting a job isn't just a function of your talent and skills. It depends on one more important thing. It's your attitude. 


An interview actually isn't there to measure or ascertain your skills, experience or knowledge, but interview is a silent assessment of your attitude. In the sidelines, it measure what's your attitude? Are you positive or negative person? Is he/she adaptable? Etc.


And it's not just me, even the marketing genius Seth Godin says getting a new hire is actually a hunt for attitude and not talent.


…it's not really a search for talent. It's a search for attitude. There are a few jobs where straight up skills are all we ask for. Perhaps in the first violinist in a string quartet. But in fact, even there, what actually separates winners from losers isn't talent, it's attitude.



Remember this whenever you are attending an interview, be it on telephone or in person.

It's a Showroom not a Warehouse!

Continuing with the last posts theme on the résumé; when writing or updating your résumé, always keep the title of this post in mind.

Yes. Your résumé should be the showroom of your talent, knowledge and experience. It's shouldn't be a warehouse where you have dumped all your projects, the subjects you have studied and everything in between.

The art of getting an interview call is an effective résumé. A résumé that invites a call for more interaction. So trim those extra, non relevant projects, those extra subject information or the trainings.

Just like a showroom, keep only the stuff that's in demand or in season. Keep the rest out.

Treat your résumé as a showroom than a warehouse and you increase your chances of getting a call for interview.

An initiative of AeSI - BB : Independent Verification and Validation of Aerospace Control and Avionics System



Aeronautical Society of India, Bangalore Branch in association with Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE), Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), Aeronautics Research and Development Board (AR&DB) and LDRA is organising a two day interactive workshop on the Independent Verification and Validation of Aerospace Control and Avionics System on September 20–21, 2013 at Sameeksha Hall, ADE, Bangalore.


Areas of Discussion:

·         IV&V of flight control system of LCA using Iron Bird rig
·         IV&V of OFP software of the FCS of LCA including compiler validation
·         Design, development and utilization of Mini Bird rig for the validation of LCA FCS hardware and software
·         HILS of UAVs, Lakshya, Nirbhay – rigs used and the experience gained over the years
·         RTS in the IV&V of LCA CLAW
·         IV&V of AEW&C system software
·         IV&V of avionics systems of manned aircraft
·         IV&V of missile avionics & controls
·         IV&V of space vehicle avionics and controls
·         V&V to Certification
·         Requirement Engineering to V&V
·         Half day visit to Iron Bird/Mini Bird, RTS facilities

Please note that the last day to register is August 30, 2013. For more details and to register for this workshop, please visit http://ldra.com/workshop 

I personally feel it's a good platform for Avionics students, engineers and leads to learn from industry experts. Speakers are from ADE, ADA, RCI Hyderabad, NAL, LDRA, VSSC and DRDO. 

Cheers !

Don't escape it... A tip from Chennai Express

Pritesh wrote an email in OURAeSI and I think readers of this blog would benefit from reading it, so here is it unedited. 

Best way to escape from your problem is to face them.-Shah rukh khan in CHENNAI EXPRESS.

Yes ,its indeed true...

I had seen many students in AeSI who drop the subject once they failed in it and excuse they make is ,YAAR BAAR BAAR EK HI EK CHIJ PADHAKE PAK GAYA HU (i am bored by reading same and same things) but the fact is that they are escaping from that subject .

In my case whenever i had anysubject back i took it as a challenge and prepare in such a way that however hard the exam paper may come, i should not get less than 50 .at this time you have all ready basic concept of the subject .you just have to make it strong and on that u can easily can make the strong building so u can score in that subject .

In case suppose you had dropped that subject than u have to clear it at the end of ur section A or B .By the time you allready had forgotten your concepts so u need to study them again and grasp it.

My many of friends had written single paper for almost 4 to 8 times and they are now doing well and pursuing their masters from NITs/IITs.

You too can do it but don't escape from papers and face them.

NOTE: dar sabko lagata hai lekin dar ke aage jit hai...

Double your chances of getting a call for interview!!

I have seen this in more than enough resume that now it's a rule that one must follow if he/she wants to receive an interview call by sending a resume to a requirement.

Send your resume in doc format. When a resume is asked. Send it in the most used format for resume. The word doc format. Not in pdf or any other fancy stuff.

In PDF it might look good or it's un modifiable. But at the same time, it's going against the filing or the usual HR's program's or macros.

Most of the HR systems are geared and automated to filter and find the relevant resumes out of the thousands they receive. And if your résumé isn't in the standard format and file type, it will be skipped. They are not going to customise their systems because of one resume.

So until the time, PDF resumes are a norm, stick to the standard doc format, you will double your chances of getting a call for interview!!
