Okay, let's pivot to teaching. Professor, you mentioned curriculum design and balancing academics with research. Suppose you're teaching a Power Electronics course to a large group—say 200 students—and you can't use slides. How would you structure a session so students stay actively engaged and really wrestle with the material, not just passively listen?
Interviewer 0:03:19
You gave the project title—experimental investigation of temperature-dependent parameters in indirect vector control of induction motors using FPGA. That’s pretty technical, and I’m guessing it could be tough to keep a big group of undergrads engaged with material like that. Imagine you’re teaching 200 students, no slides allowed—how would you actually run a session so students stay involved and have to grapple with the core concepts, not just listen passively?

Interviewer 0:03:25
Alright, you said the outcome of your FPGA-based induction motor control project was a granted patent. That’s impressive. But focusing back on teaching—if you had to run a session for 200 students, no slides allowed, how would you get them actively involved with tough material like indirect vector control? What would you actually do in the classroom?
Interviewer 0:03:29
You mentioned that your work led to a patent and a Scopus-indexed publication—those are concrete outcomes. Since you’ve handled curriculum design and research, how would you assess whether your classroom strategies are actually working? For example, what signs or metrics would tell you that students are truly engaged and learning, not just attending?

Alright, Dr., so your second project tackled issues in single-phase photovoltaic systems using multilevel inverters and D-space controllers. You’ve clearly managed both technical and administrative responsibilities. Now, day-to-day, accreditation requires more than just research output and curriculum design. If you joined VIT and discovered inconsistent outcome assessment data across courses, what practical steps would you take to resolve that?

Interviewer 0:05:10
Okay, so that last project was a collaboration with Taylor University Malaysia. You’ve clearly handled multiple grants and cross-border partnerships. But I’d like to hear your approach on something more operational. If you found that outcome assessment data was inconsistent across courses—how would you address that, step by step?
Interviewer 0:05:23
You’ve operated at a senior level, Dr., so let’s talk about professional judgment. Imagine a situation: a student formally complains that your grading is biased, but at the same time your department head pressures you to improve pass rates. How would you handle that tension?
Interviewer 0:05:25
Alright, so you've completed several major research projects, handled international collaboration, and produced both patents and publications. Now, let’s talk about ethical tensions. Say a student files a formal complaint that your grading is biased, but at the same time, your department head is urging you to improve pass rates. How do you balance academic integrity with this institutional pressure?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:08:28

So this is about my professional and as well as the research. Profile. Also I guided. I'm not guided completely. Umm. I'm guiding the five research scholars under the JNTU Kakinada.
Interviewer 0:05:32
Alright, so you’re wrapping up your third major project and handling utilization certificates — that’s pretty thorough. Let’s go back to my scenario: if a student files a formal complaint alleging biased grading but your department head pushes you to raise pass rates, what would your step-by-step response look like?
Interviewer 0:05:44
Alright Dr., you’ve mentioned handling utilization certificates and grants, so you’re clearly comfortable with institutional demands. What would you do if your department head disagreed with your approach to resolving the grading complaint?
Interviewer 0:05:50
That’s a major grant—one crore for the CTE idea lab, impressive. You’ve clearly managed substantial funding and institutional projects. Let’s pivot. How would you contribute to fostering industry-academia collaboration at VIT University, especially in Power Systems or Control Systems, to drive impactful research outcomes?
Interviewer 0:05:53
You mentioned the CTE idea lab grant—one crore is a significant amount, and that kind of industry-facing initiative is exactly where university partnerships thrive. With your experience, what concrete steps would you take to build active collaborations between VIT University and industry partners in Power Systems or Control Systems, aiming for research with real-world impact?
Interviewer 0:06:10
Alright, so you wrapped the CTE idea lab in 2024 and ran dozens of boot camps and internships through it—that’s quite a direct link to industry engagement. Can you share a specific example of how you structured one of those industry collaborations so that both students and the partner company saw measurable benefits?
Interviewer 0:06:18
Okay, so you structured boot camps and internships as part of the ACT initiative, and even worked to create awareness among school children and teachers. That’s a broad reach. Given your experience, how do you ensure that both industry partners and students see measurable benefits from these collaborations, not just participation?
Interviewer 0:06:24
Alright, so you’ve run boot camps, internships, and outreach to not just college students but school kids and teachers too. When you invited the Polytechnic colleges to the ACT Idea Lab, what was the biggest challenge in aligning their curriculum or expectations with your lab’s research objectives?
Interviewer 0:06:33
So you brought Polytechnic faculty and students into the ACT Idea Lab, showing them advanced tools like 3D printers and laser cutters. Let's tackle a different scenario around academic integrity. Imagine a student comes to you alleging that your grading was biased, but at the same time, your department head is pressuring you to improve student pass rates. How would you handle this ethical conflict?
Interviewer 0:06:42
You led those lab demonstrations for the Polytechnic colleges, showing off the 3D printer and laser cutter functions. But let's shift gears, Professor—imagine a student files a formal complaint, claiming your grading was biased. Meanwhile, your department head is pushing you to raise pass rates. How would you handle this ethical dilemma?
Interviewer 0:07:00
Okay, so you’re the principal investigator on all those lab and funding projects, and led outreach with advanced tech demos for Polytechnic visitors. But I’d like to return to the ethical scenario I mentioned—if a student formally alleges grading bias while your department head is pressuring you to improve pass rates, what’s your concrete approach to handling both the complaint and the institutional pressure?
Interviewer 0:07:08
You set up the Industrial and Home Automation Lab with FIST funding—that’s a significant achievement, especially as principal investigator. Shifting focus to your role as a senior academic leader, how do you see yourself contributing to industry-academia collaboration at VIT University, particularly in Power Systems or Control Systems, to ensure the research actually creates impact beyond publications?
Interviewer 0:07:15
Alright, you've set up the Industrial and Home Automation Laboratory with new PLCs using FIST funding, and you've been principal investigator across several major projects. Let’s focus on your approach to industry-academia collaboration—how would you contribute to fostering this at VIT University, especially in Power Systems or Control Systems, to ensure research leads to real-world impact and not just publications?
Interviewer 0:07:31
You mentioned that UG students really benefited from your Industrial and Home Automation Lab, especially with hands-on PLC experimentation and process simulations. I’d like to hear how you’d approach building industry-academia partnerships at VIT—what concrete steps would you take to ensure projects in Power Systems or Control Systems actually translate into meaningful industrial outcomes, rather than just academic publications?
Interviewer 0:07:42
Alright, you’ve put substantial funding into labs and student experiences, and implemented real process simulations. Earlier, I asked about handling a formal grading bias complaint while the department head is urging you to raise pass rates, and I didn’t hear your specific approach—walk me through step-by-step how you’d address both the student’s concern and the institutional pressure.
Interviewer 0:07:49
You mentioned the Modernization of Laboratories project and successful student engagement with the automation lab, but I still need to understand how you would actually handle an ethical dilemma. Let's say a student formally claims your grading was biased, while your department head is pushing you to increase pass rates. Walk me through, step by step, how you would respond to both the student's grievance and the institutional pressure.
Interviewer 0:07:54
Okay, so you established a 220 kilovolt transmission line model as part of the modernization grant. But earlier I asked about what you’d do if a student formally complained about biased grading while your department head pushed you to raise pass rates. I haven’t heard your step-by-step approach yet—how would you balance academic integrity and institutional pressure in that scenario?
Interviewer 0:08:07
You've implemented compensation techniques in your high-voltage lab and led multiple modernization projects, which shows strong technical leadership. Switching gears, Professor, how do you plan to leverage your experience in Power Electronics or related domains to secure research grants or funding opportunities in collaboration with VIT University’s research initiatives?
Interviewer 0:08:12
Alright, so you established the 220 kilovolt transmission line model with compensation techniques for voltage stability, and PG students are the main beneficiaries. But I still haven't heard how you'd handle an ethical conflict—say a student files a formal complaint alleging grading bias, while your department head wants you to increase pass rates. How would you manage that situation, step by step, to protect academic integrity and address institutional pressure?
Interviewer 0:08:33
Alright, Dr., you’ve clearly guided multiple scholars and established advanced labs with real-world simulations—which is impressive. But I still haven’t heard your step-by-step approach for handling an ethical conflict, like a grading bias complaint while facing pressure to raise pass rates. How would you respond to both the student’s concern and the department head’s request—what actions would you take, and how would you defend your decisions?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:09:16
Yeah.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:09:21.0
Yeah. Definitely they. The pass rates. Which can can be improved.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:09:20
Yeah. Definitely they. The pass rates.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:09:25
Yeah. Definitely they. The pass rates. Which can can be improved. For the student beneficiary.
Interviewer 0:09:19
So you said "yeah," but I need more detail. Walk me through what you'd actually do if a student accused you of grading bias and your department head was urging you to increase pass rates. What's your exact process—step by step?
Interviewer 0:09:21
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:09:36
Yeah. Definitely they. The pass rates. Which can can be improved. For the student beneficiary. With the proper understanding of this. Project, Sir. Like you know first is the brainstorming activity can be conducted.
Interviewer 0:09:23
Mm-hmm.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:09:50
Yeah. Definitely they. The pass rates. Which can can be improved. For the student beneficiary. With the proper understanding of this. Project, Sir. Like you know first is the brainstorming activity can be conducted. And then analysis. Um and then practical implementation orientation point of view we can able to. I improve the mass rate of the. Store LinkedIn.
Interviewer 0:09:26
So you said the pass rates can be improved for student benefit, but what would you actually do if a student filed a complaint—how would you make sure your grading is fair and defend your process to both the student and the department head?
Interviewer 0:09:38
Alright, so you’d start with a brainstorming activity to help students understand the project and boost pass rates. But let’s say the department head disagrees with your approach and keeps pushing you to change grades. How would you handle that pressure while keeping your grading process fair and transparent?
Interviewer 0:09:53
Okay, so you’d run brainstorming sessions and focus on practical implementation to help students understand the project better and improve pass rates. Let’s say after all that, your department head still insists you change grades for some students to boost overall results. Would you comply, or how would you handle that situation to protect academic integrity?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:10:35
Ideally, this is not the file. Process of improving the. Uh, directly the grading of the OR marks of the students. Uh, but The thing is, we should make the student to understand it.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:10:44
Ideally, this is not the file. Process of improving the. Uh, directly the grading of the OR marks of the students. Uh, but The thing is, we should make the student to understand it. Like the student may be a poor. And some students are very, uh, fair in understanding.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:11:05
Ideally, this is not the file. Process of improving the. Uh, directly the grading of the OR marks of the students. Uh, but The thing is, we should make the student to understand it. Like the student may be a poor. And some students are very, uh, fair in understanding. So the sessions like uh. Happy learning can be conducted to the. Uh, poor students. As well as. Proper counseling to the students. And conducting the parent. Interactions. And interacting with the and providing the uh. Additional. Timing courses.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:11:13
Ideally, this is not the file. Process of improving the. Uh, directly the grading of the OR marks of the students. Uh, but The thing is, we should make the student to understand it. Like the student may be a poor. And some students are very, uh, fair in understanding. So the sessions like uh. Happy learning can be conducted to the. Uh, poor students. As well as. Proper counseling to the students. And conducting the parent. Interactions. And interacting with the and providing the uh. Additional. Timing courses. Like add-on courses can be given to them. And extra classes can be taken to them.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:11:23
Ideally, this is not the file. Process of improving the. Uh, directly the grading of the OR marks of the students. Uh, but The thing is, we should make the student to understand it. Like the student may be a poor. And some students are very, uh, fair in understanding. So the sessions like uh. Happy learning can be conducted to the. Uh, poor students. As well as. Proper counseling to the students. And conducting the parent. Interactions. And interacting with the and providing the uh. Additional. Timing courses. Like add-on courses can be given to them. And extra classes can be taken to them. Umm, this type of activities will definitely improve the past percentage of the students.
Interviewer 0:10:38
Right, so you believe improving student understanding is the right way—changing grades isn’t ethical. That tracks with academic integrity. Let’s pivot a bit: how would you contribute to fostering industry-academia collaboration at VIT University, especially in Power Systems or Control Systems, with a focus on impactful research outcomes?
Interviewer 0:10:49
Right, so you’re saying that instead of changing marks, you’d focus on making sure every student really understands—even if some students struggle more than others. You’re holding the line on not altering grades, which is clear. Now, let’s talk about industry-academia collaboration—how would you help foster those partnerships at VIT University, especially in Power Systems or Control Systems, to drive research that actually makes an impact?
Interviewer 0:11:10
Right, so you’re saying you’d support struggling students with extra sessions and parent interaction, but you wouldn’t alter grades. That’s a principled stance. Now, shifting gears—how would you contribute to fostering industry-academia collaboration at VIT University, especially in Power Systems or Control Systems, to achieve real research impact?
Interviewer 0:11:17
Okay, so with your experience setting up labs and working on funded projects—do you have industry connections that could help VIT students get internships or placements, especially in Power Electronics or Control Systems?
Interviewer 0:11:27
Right, so you’re saying you’d support struggling students with extra sessions and parent interaction, but you wouldn’t alter grades. That’s a principled stance. Now, shifting gears—how would you contribute to fostering industry-academia collaboration at VIT University, especially in Power Systems or Control Systems, to ensure research actually leads to real-world impact?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:12:11
Yeah, industry academic collaboration is. Very much needed. To to bridge the gap between the academics and industries. This is the first point where we observed. Since long back.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:12:03
Yeah, industry academic collaboration is. Very much needed.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:12:07
Yeah, industry academic collaboration is. Very much needed. To to bridge the gap between the academics and industries.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:12:29
Yeah, industry academic collaboration is. Very much needed. To to bridge the gap between the academics and industries. This is the first point where we observed. Since long back. And continuously. The programs like the internships. Must be given to the students. And secondly. Umm, industry people should come to the campus. And give the orientation.
Interviewer 0:12:06
Alright, you mentioned industry-academia collaboration is very much needed, but I’d like specifics. Can you name any companies or industrial partners you’ve actually worked with, or concrete ideas for how you’d bring those connections to VIT—like joint projects, internships, or curriculum improvements?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:12:48
Yeah, industry academic collaboration is. Very much needed. To to bridge the gap between the academics and industries. This is the first point where we observed. Since long back. And continuously. The programs like the internships. Must be given to the students. And secondly. Umm, industry people should come to the campus. And give the orientation. I mean faculty. Faculty. Faculty from the industry should come to the campus and give the. Take some sessions. Uh, so that, uh, there will be minimum. The gap between the academia and industry. And the collaboration definitely helps.
Interviewer 0:12:09
You mentioned industry-academic collaboration is vital, but I need specifics—can you name any companies or industrial partners you’ve actually worked with, or share a concrete idea for how you’d connect VIT students to real-world industry projects in Power Systems or Control Systems?
Interviewer 0:12:13
You’ve observed the industry-academia gap for some time. In your own projects, have you actually partnered with any companies or brought in industry professionals for student workshops or internships? If so, which ones—and if not, what’s your concrete plan for making those links at VIT?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:12:54
Yeah, industry academic collaboration is. Very much needed. To to bridge the gap between the academics and industries. This is the first point where we observed. Since long back. And continuously. The programs like the internships. Must be given to the students. And secondly. Umm, industry people should come to the campus. And give the orientation. I mean faculty. Faculty. Faculty from the industry should come to the campus and give the. Take some sessions. Uh, so that, uh, there will be minimum. The gap between the academia and industry. And the collaboration definitely helps. To fulfill the gap.
Interviewer 0:12:33
Alright, Dr., let’s get a bit more technical now. In your experience with Power Systems, suppose you’re tasked with improving reliability for a rural microgrid that suffers frequent outages. What practical steps would you take to diagnose and solve the issue, given limited local resources?
Interviewer 0:12:50
Alright, you pointed out internships and industry-led sessions as ways to bridge the gap, but I’d like to hear about your technical side. When you’re teaching lab courses—let’s say you’re running a power electronics experiment with students and the hardware suddenly fails mid-session—how do you keep the learning effective and maintain engagement without working equipment?
Interviewer 0:12:56
Alright,
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:13:04
Also. Hello can I speak?
Interviewer 0:13:06
Yes, you can speak—go ahead.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:13:27

Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:13:39
Yeah, from the. Faculty point of view this industry collaborative industry. Uh, academia collaborations will definitely help to generate the. Umm, revenue in the name of the consultancies. So whatever the problems they are facing in the industries. Our faculty can able to. Tackle that in that way it also useful to the faculty.
Interviewer 0:13:29
Alright, you’re pointing out that industry-academia collaboration brings in consultancy revenue as well. Let’s dig into your technical expertise in Power Systems—if you’re tasked with improving reliability for a rural microgrid that suffers frequent outages, what practical steps or system changes would you recommend to stabilize the grid?
Interviewer 0:13:41
Okay, so you see consultancy as a win-win—faculty tackle real industry problems, which builds revenue, experience, and stronger ties. Now, focusing on Power Systems: if you were asked to improve the reliability of a rural microgrid that’s frequently experiencing outages, what specific steps would you take to diagnose and address the root causes?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:14:18
Yeah, this is at. Uh, microgrid level.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:14:27
Yeah, this is at. Uh, microgrid level. So the engineers. Like a distribution, engineers should take it to. Yeah, should take care of it.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:14:33
Yeah, this is at. Uh, microgrid level. So the engineers. Like a distribution, engineers should take it to. Yeah, should take care of it. The first thing is. They should go for the compensation techniques.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:14:37
Yeah, this is at. Uh, microgrid level. So the engineers. Like a distribution, engineers should take it to. Yeah, should take care of it. The first thing is. They should go for the compensation techniques. Umm, especially at the street ends.
Interviewer 0:14:20
You started to mention microgrid level—go on. What would be your process for diagnosing those outages?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:14:40
Yeah, this is at. Uh, microgrid level. So the engineers. Like a distribution, engineers should take it to. Yeah, should take care of it. The first thing is. They should go for the compensation techniques. Umm, especially at the street ends. Can we happen?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:14:44
Yeah, this is at. Uh, microgrid level. So the engineers. Like a distribution, engineers should take it to. Yeah, should take care of it. The first thing is. They should go for the compensation techniques. Umm, especially at the street ends. Can we happen? And another thing is the power theft. Should be arrested.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:14:48
Yeah, this is at. Uh, microgrid level. So the engineers. Like a distribution, engineers should take it to. Yeah, should take care of it. The first thing is. They should go for the compensation techniques. Umm, especially at the street ends. Can we happen? And another thing is the power theft. Should be arrested. Which is likely to happen at the villages.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:15:22
Yeah, this is at. Uh, microgrid level. So the engineers. Like a distribution, engineers should take it to. Yeah, should take care of it. The first thing is. They should go for the compensation techniques. Umm, especially at the street ends. Can we happen? And another thing is the power theft. Should be arrested. Which is likely to happen at the villages. And for them we should always create the awareness. Umm. What is the drawback of using such type of the power? Drafts and another thing is. We should adopt some energy conservation techniques. Like in agricultural fields. What they don't use instead of using the? UH-3 phase supply UH-3 instead of to run the three phase reduction motors J also run with the. Single face with the face splitters. Which can be which should be avoided.

Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:18:31
Really, whatever the knowledge they gained in the. Uh, theoretical point of view. Like proportional integrate derivative controller. Purpose. Like 1 is to reduce the peak overshoot and reduce the steady state error. And combinedly they both. So all these should be. As I said, probably theoretical point of view.

How to mitigate this response? How to mitigate this oscillations? And how?
Interviewer 0:18:28
You touched on how PID elements reduce overshoot and steady-state error, tying theory to practical troubleshooting. Now, let’s talk about guiding student research—can you give one example where you helped a student take a project from idea to publication, and what your role was at each stage?
Interviewer 0:18:33
You touched on how PID elements address overshoot and steady-state error, but let's get concrete. Imagine a student keeps adjusting the gains and still can't get their system to stabilize—what questions would you ask them, or what steps would you have them try to help them pinpoint where they're going wrong?
Interviewer 0:18:41
Alright, you focused on connecting the theory—like the roles of P, I, and D—to what they actually observe in the lab, and that oscillatory behavior is expected if the tuning isn’t right. Now thinking about your own research publications, can you tell me about a paper you published in a reputed journal and what made the research significant or novel in your field?
Interviewer 0:18:45
You touched on how PID elements address overshoot and steady-state error, but let's get concrete. Imagine a student keeps adjusting the gains and still can't get their system to stabilize—what questions would you ask them, and how would you guide them to diagnose the issue step by step?
Interviewer 0:18:49
So you’d have them analyze both simulation and practical setups to connect theory with what’s actually happening. Now, you’ve published in reputable journals—can you walk me through how you decide which journal to target for a research paper, especially when you’re balancing novelty, impact, and visibility for your work?
Interviewer 0:19:04
Alright, you focused on how students can see the difference between simulation results and real-world equipment behavior, and analyze the sources of error themselves. Now, thinking about student research guidance—can you give one concrete example of how you helped a student take a project idea from initial concept through to publication in a reputable journal?
Interviewer 0:19:10
Alright, so you’d have students compare simulation and real-world results to spot errors, and encourage them to come up with their own fixes based on what they observe. Now, thinking about your ability to guide student projects—can you share a concrete example of a student project you supervised where the student faced a research roadblock, and explain how you helped them push through it without just giving them the solution?
Interviewer 0:19:37
Alright, you showed strong command over both Power Systems and Control Systems with those approaches. Now, switching to your teaching methods—how do you structure your lecture delivery to make sure complex concepts are clearly communicated and students stay engaged?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:20:14
So I would like to. Umm, guide the students first. Based upon. Um, like a design thinking point of view?
Interviewer 0:20:16
Alright, you’d guide students using design thinking to frame their research topics. Now, when you have to evaluate student performance—say you’re setting exam questions and grading—how do you make sure your approach is fair and transparent for everyone, especially when there’s a mix of strong and weak students in the class?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:20:58
So I would like to. Umm, guide the students first. Based upon. Um, like a design thinking point of view? First, they should have the concern. And secondly, the possibility and then innovation. Then ideation and then implementation. So these are the few of the design. Uh, thinking steps they should go through. Uh, initially they choose. Project. Initially they choose a project like. Uh, they observe what are the problems the. Are the villagers or agricultural? Fields what they are facing. And they should. Visit them. They should come up with the. Uh, ideation thought.

Then they go for the simulation. And they come up with a real time implementation equipment. And all these. Uh, simulation can be. Uh, practically implemented using the real time simulators? Such as the FPGA, etcetera. Then they they give the. Then they also compare with the simulation results with the practical results. Then they go for the publication as well as the patenting. And then they go for the real. Uh, startup establishing the startup. And possibly they should go for the technology.

Uh, I mean TRL level. 5:00 so that they could really develop the complete ecosystem that will be useful for the. Industry.
Interviewer 0:21:00
Alright, you’d have students go through design thinking—starting with identifying real-world problems, then moving to ideation. Now, when you’re setting exam questions and grading, what’s your process to make sure your evaluation is fair, transparent, and actually measures what students have learned?
Interviewer 0:21:20
Alright, you’ve got students using design thinking, starting from actual field problems, then moving through analysis and implementation. Switching topics now—when you’re tasked with setting up student evaluations and exam-related responsibilities, how do you make sure the assessments are both fair and reflect real learning, not just rote memorization?
Interviewer 0:22:02
Alright, you’ve outlined design thinking—starting with concern, then ideation and implementation—and encouraged students to compare simulation and practical results, aiming for publication or patenting. Now, when you’re responsible for evaluating students and setting exam questions, how do you ensure the exams actually measure deep understanding and not just rote memorization?

Interviewer 0:24:02
You started to explain that you’d link the theoretical content to the lab session, but didn’t finish. If you want to add more details about how you actually run the lab—like how you get every student hands-on or connect the experiment back to the lecture—feel free to share. Otherwise, I’ll move on.
Can you tell me about a time you communicated a complex research idea or technical topic to an audience that wasn’t familiar with your field—what approach did you use to make it clear and engaging?
Interviewer 0:24:09
Okay, so you start with exercise problems based on the theory, and then show how the concepts apply in the lab. You were just about to explain how you make sure every student actually participates and connects what they see in the experiment back to the theory—can you walk me through what you do during the session to make that happen?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:25:58
Yeah. Elaboratory session. Initially that. Uh, whatever the. Whatever the. The content, we thought. For the theoretical. Umm, initially we should create some. Uh, exercise.

Uh, parameter estimation. Where the rotor and stator resistances are going to. Increase when the temperature of the machine increases. So this is the clear problem we identified in case of the indirect vector control. So this should be given um. As a problem definition. They enter. Then so. We should observe what is the. Umm, performance of the drive when these two parameters are deviated. Say I said rotor and stator resistances get variated.

So that the perfect alignment. So that the perfect alignment or orientation of the DQ axis. Can be done. So that will be definitely improving the. The quality of the mission.
Interviewer 0:28:46
Alright, so you structured your project by defining objectives, then tackled temperature-dependent parameters in indirect vector control with F P G A. Is there anything you’d like to ask about the Assistant Professor (Research) role or the team before we wrap up?
Interviewer 0:28:49
Alright, so you set clear objectives for your research project on temperature-dependent parameters in indirect vector control, and used FPGA for mitigation. Is there anything you'd like to ask about the Assistant Professor (Research) role or the team before we wrap up?

Alright, Dr., we're wrapping up. Is there anything you'd like to ask about the Assistant Professor (Research) role or the team before we finish?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:31:10
So normally I head about the assistant professor normally consists of the uh. Teaching load with the laboratories. And uh. And academic roles. Like different coordinators can be assessed. So my point, I'm hoping that the research could research. Is large and. Academic party should be less. So I'm expecting this one. Can I expect this type of uh. Environment when I joined in vit.
Interviewer 0:31:13
You’re right—the Assistant Professor (Research) role here does involve both teaching and academic duties, like labs and coordination, but there's a strong emphasis on research. You'll have substantial opportunities for funded projects, student mentorship, and publications, so research is definitely a core part of the environment.
Anything else you'd like to ask before we wrap up?
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:31:50
So any research laboratories are available in the campus?
Interviewer 0:31:53
Yes, there are research laboratories available on campus. The facilities support work in power electronics, control systems, and related areas, so you'll have access to advanced equipment and collaborative spaces for your projects and student research. If there’s anything else you want to know, let me know—otherwise I’ll wrap up.
Dr. Balapanur Mouli Chandra 0:32:25
Actually I'm more focused on the power electronics and drive control.
