Sin...@Rishab, Marking both is invalid in my scheme. Since it is invalid (and not wrong) the candidate will get 0 marks and not negative marks. Just because "my" IIT is the organizing IIT, it is not bound to listen to my ideas. I am not part of the team that makes policies, or even implements them.Dheeraj Sanghihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367519409840642182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-25229202927261217822011-03-24T01:35:25.115+05:302011-03-24T01:35:25.115+05:30Hello Dheeraj

Also, I wish to add...That's a very good post. <br /><br />Also, I wish to add: Apart from what you call "approximate" answers (illustrated so well by you with that IP address example), what happens in an interview is that you also have an opportunity to see in action the candidate's ability undertake those "back of the envelope" calculations. Such exercises are important because they reveal the ability of the candidate to undertake those crucial wider-scale or base-level(conceptual) integrations. Unless you have an open-ended examination (like take-home or open-book, etc.), there is little opportunity to test this particular skill. Interviews are close enough to such open-ended tests, and also practical enough that they can be conducted within the time and other constraints.<br /><br />One downside of interviews is that "politics" (i.e. favoritism, cronism, biases against a particular viewpoint such as against a candidate who supports capitalism or Ayn Rand's philosophy by a socialism-committed professor say at a Russia- or UGC-aided Institute of National Importance, etc.) can easily creep in. Here, I am sure I need not elaborate further; the last two pages of my detailed resume (available at my Web site: http://www.JadhavResearch.info/Index.htm) bear adequate testimony to it.<br /><br /><br />Best,<br /><br /><br />--Ajit<br />[E&OE]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273139713770751485.post-19666675998962865292010-09-30T09:08:48.410+05:302010-09-30T09:08:48.410+05:30I fully agree with you sir.We should encourage gue...I fully agree with you sir.We should encourage guesses, and point of giving .5 for plausible wrong is quite nice.Ishanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889823245117245996noreply@blogger.com
