Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Prepare for best and expect the worst in terms of interview experience. HR management is worst and they'll keep finding replacements of yours even after selecting. So you should also have plan B incase your candidature gets rejected. I declined the offer and joined another company.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Test was subjective and questions were asked from basic analog, digital design, VHDL and VLSI circuits.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Had 3 technical interviews each around 25 minutes. They asked me about my summer internship and
questions from microcontroller architecture and its interfacing. Then they asked me the questions
from those problems which I didn't attempt in the written test.
Tips: For electrical students, it might be a bit challenging. I took an elective on Microcontroller in 7th sem which
helped me a lot during the interview. You might want to brush up your concepts of 8085, digital, OPAMPs
and analog

Round: HR Interview
Experience: My family background and my future goals were asked. They asked me about
my internship project and wanted to know what I learnt during the internship. Then I asked a few questions
from them about the company work culture and growth opportunities
