Hey I am at UCL doing EEE, I imagine the questions will be similar to me.

Why us?
Why EEE?
Why your subject choices?
Any relevant experience you have?
Tell me about your A levels and what you are learning? (if relevant)

Then maybe some small technical questions or a few brainteasers. Nothing difficult I imagine, just related to your knowledge or stretching you.

Explain how a loudspeaker works.
Can you draw a simple amplifier circuit? (only if you have prior electronics exp)

I do not know the answer to any of the technical questions that you have listed. What if I mess up the technical question?

I mean can it happen that I tell them that I do not know the answer to their technical question and still have chances of getting an offer?

Just try and relax. When I went for my interview I was scared the interviewer will ask me a really crazy Maths or Physics question just like you. But it wasn't hard at all. Just relax and think - take your time, if you get stuck - ask for some help and he will try and guide you. They just want to know how good your Maths is and how are your problem solving skills.

I had my interview with one of EEE professor at Imperial. Throughout the interview (by Skype as I am international applicant), most of the questions revolved around why you want to go to Imperial, why EEE, and he might ask you activities that you had done in the past few years. Surprisingly, no technical questions for me though. Not long after that, nailed the offer
