Very useful content. Thank you so much Dr. According to your experience for fresh PhD holders. If they applied for a faculty Job and a postdoctoral, after that they got both offers. Which offer you think is the better to choose?. Thank you

[@Drganguli]

In most cases faculty offer is better unless you feel that the postdoc will get you into a better faculty position. But the future is unpredictable whereas the offer at hand is real.

[@WISEMANYT]

Professor, many thanks for the video. I am concerned about those questions which committee ask which are neither related to your research work nor you can remember. They will ask questions opposite to your background. In that case, what should be done?

[@Drganguli]

Well you have to answer the questions to the best of your ability. In case you are completely at a loss, you can say that you need to do research on that area and then you will be able to answer. Or you would find someone to collaborate with to address that question as you are not an expert in that area. If you have any specific questions in mind, please write in the comments.

[@WISEMANYT]

Professor it is about questions which are asked from teaching course. They ask from any course and any topic. I think it is difficult to remember all topics of all courses. In this case, what should be done?@@Drganguli

[@Drganguli]

@@WISEMANYT Well you have to try your best to answer. Revise the fundamentals in your area before the interview. A gate exam level knowledge in the subject will help. Get hold of a gate guide on the area and study it. This video may help How to use GATE for admission and scholarship for M.Tech at IIT, IISc, NIT? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJfLi3urrNKtjbs

A good piece of information. Thank you Professor. If you can kindly suggest some dress code (if any) for interview, it will be of great help for us.

[@Drganguli]

Formal shirt and pants with tie is a good idea. A coat adds seriousness. A suit is also ok.
