GENERAL PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS

1. How do you select Staff members ?
   1. We (we implies I, my team members and possibly some of my colleagues) usually conduct a round of written tests (etchnical / communication skills, general awareness), then a verbal technical interview, and then we meet you in the IRD interview.
2. I know somebody who knows you - would you like me to give you a reference through him ?
   1. Please remember that I do not like canvassing in any form so colleagues, and friends are specially discouraged from sending anybody to me for placement in my projects.
   2. If you still want to give me a reference, ask this individual to give you a Letter of Recommendation in the following format (below, at end of this page) in a sealed envelope superscribed as "Letter of Recommendation for Ms/Ms........ ". You can enclose this sealed envelop with your application.
   3. You can also ask the referee to email me the LoR from a official email (LoRs sent from a free email address like gmail.com or from personal email addresses will NOT do). For example, my official email address is subrat@ee.iitd.ac.in and my free personal email address is subrat.kar@gmail.com .
