IIT interview questions

Can you please tell me some sample questions asked in IIT interview?

[Kiran Chandar]

We all are prepared for standard interview questions that most of us are familiar with and expect to clear an interview.

General questions such as
“Tell us a bit about yourself”
“Why do you want to work for us?”
“Describe your biggest achievement’” are all typical interview questions that most candidates should be well equipped to answer.

Questions are designed to assess your ability to think on your feet, your analytical thinking skills, and your general way of viewing the world.

In most cases, the process of getting to an answer is more important than the actual answer itself.

Some of the questions are-

1. “If you were a pizza deliveryman how would you benefit from scissors?”

2. “If you were on an island and could only bring 3 things, what would you bring?”

3. “Are you more of a hunter or a gatherer ?”

4. “Why is a tennis ball fuzzy?”

5. “How many square feet of pizza is eaten in the US each year?”

6. “If you were 80 years old, what would you tell your children?”

7. “If you were a box of cereal, what would you be and why?”

8. “If there was a movie produced about your life, who would play you, and why?”

9. “It’s Thursday, we’re staffing you on a telecommunications project in Calgary, Canada on Monday. Your flight and hotel are booked; your visa is ready. What are the top five things you do before you leave?”
