Electronics Club: Application Procedure

IIT Delhi

The electronics club is recruiting members for the next year. Please note the following academic requirements for eligibility: 1. The student should have a CGPA > 7.0. 2. The student should not be on any academic probation (that includes the events concerning CSL100 course in 1st semester, 2013). The following positions are available for the current BTech 1st year (any stream) and BTech 2nd year (any stream) students in the electronics club: 1. 8 Technical Executives - The technical executives will be responsible for developing content for the workshop/lectures and demonstrations. Students with prior experience in electronics (on their own or through the club activities) are preferred, but others are also encouraged to apply. They will also be incharge of ensuring participation in technical competitions for the year. Please ll the attached document for applying for the technical positions. 2. 4 Design Executives - Students with skills in Photoshop and web design are desired. Please send a list of prior design experience at electronicclubiitd@gmail.com. Note that the design executives can also be involved in technical activities. There will be interviews based on your applications. The selected candidates will be informed of the date and venue of the interviews. Those applying for technical post should submit a hard copy of their answers to the attached document to Rahul Trivedi (ph. no. 8860028945). The last date for all online and oine submission is 2nd April, 2014.

Attachment: Application for Technical Position

We are looking for students with sharp analytical skills and enthusiasm for electronics. Given below are two problems - one on electronic circuits and one on algorithms. Your solution to these problems will be considered as your application for the technical position. Please note 1. We expect you to submit your original solution to the problems. The interview may contain questions related to your solution. 2. Please submit a neatly written solution and not random scribbling, since we have to go through them as well. Problem 1 Consider a set S = {x1 , x2 , x3 ........ xn }. Give an O(n) algorithm to nd a set A such that A S If xi A, then xi+1 / A and xi1 / A.
k,xk A xk is maximum amongst all A that can be selected through the above two conditions.

Only the algorithmic solution and not the code implementation to this problem is required. Problem 2 Design a circuit to solve the following linear dierential equation dy (t) x(t)y (t) + x(t) = 0 dt (1)

where x(t) is available as an input. You are also provided with a hypothetical element, say element X , which is a voltage controlled resistor - i.e. it is a three terminal device which acts a resistor between two terminals and the value of the resistance is controlled by the potential at the third terminal. If the three terminals are labelled as A, B and C then (refer to g. 1) iA iB iC = 0 C (vC ) Figure 1: Element X specications

B (vB )

iA = iB = (vA vB )(vC vB ) and iC = 0

You may assume that x(t) = 0 for t < 0 and y (t) = 0 for t < 0.You can also use operational ampliers, resistors and capacitors (Please specify the values of the resistances and capacitances. Assume currents and voltages to be in S.I. unit). The solution will be graded on the following points 1. The accuracy of the output - whether your implementation would give the exact solution y (t) or some approximation of it. 2. The number of components used. Needless to say using fewer components would fetch higher marks.
