       There were two sections in the DRDO paper(CS)

Technical and aptitude

1.APTITUDE:-
             There were 50 questions in this section,questions were from simple reasoning.or I
can say that reasoning was very easy,there were verbal and non-verbal type questions.
but there were also questions from English and G.K.
Although it was not mention in prospect that English and G.K questions will come,
Some G.K.questions were easy like--Tank Developed by DRDO(Arjun).
PRITHVI is what kind of missile(surface to surface).
mahatma Gandhi during breaking ognsalt rule move up to(Dandi)...etc..
2.Technical

incorrectly.
-         Some questions were to find out punctuation and grammatical errors.
-         Some figures were given and rotated in some direction. We have to complete the
sequence. Nearly 6-7 questions were there on such spatial reasoning.
 My advice is just go through all the topics, do not leave any topics. And refer www.drdr.org
regarding DRDO products. Rest reasoning can be done on the spot. Please pay attention to
technical part more. Please pray for me.
 All the best for other aspirants

Q1what is area of interest ?
ans:  analog
---then they are laugghing on this subject because most of  candidate  have same area of
interest .
Q 2. make a ckt of inversting opamp ?
Q3 find out gain of it with Rf=100k and R1 =1K?
ans = -100
Q.4then they modify same ckt then find out  gain .
--then one member said u r studing vlsi  i said yes
then the asked Question
Q5.what is Epitaxial layer ?
Q6 what is the  differnce between the Ion implantatiion and other method of the diffusion .
then other member asked:
Q.7 what is your final yaer project ?
i dont have project report then they ask for draw ckt daigram or block daigram and explain
through it this is the most important part of the intreview   ---- then other member   
Q.8 what is mass action law?

Q.10 what is relation between the depletion region lenght and transition capacitance.
Q.11what is diffence between Radar antenna and other simple antenna .--- other member

One meber ask me ,have u studied ddigital in your degree course , i said yes , then he 
have a digital ckt consiist of counter , he said find the output of it , that ckt is seen first time
by me in my life .  i tried it to solve... at last he said ok go  . in digital questions are from
counter design and interview consist of basic question of the subbject and good knowledge
of the projject and area of the interest.

Observation by me thier :-
#PHD, MTECH degree is advaantage
#any experiance is Advantage
# good gate score is advatge.

#any paper publication  is  advanatgee .

# if u r from NIT Govt. college insteadnof the private collegev is advantage .
# sometime they laugh on your answer, this part of interview , dont get nervous by this .
# interiew is easy study 3-4 subject before interview and revise project thhroughly .
# luck have major role in the interview
