I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Jun 2024. There were 2 interview rounds.

Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Capacitor and voltage in series and parallel
  • Ans. 

    Capacitors in series add reciprocally, in parallel add directly. Voltage in series is the sum, in parallel is the same.

    • Capacitors in series: 1/Ctotal = 1/C1 + 1/C2

    • Capacitors in parallel: Ctotal = C1 + C2

    • Voltage in series: Vtotal = V1 + V2

    • Voltage in parallel: Vtotal = V1 = V2

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. RLC circuit and circuit theory
Round 2 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Analyse the output of the circuitry
  • Ans. 

    The output of the circuitry needs to be analyzed for functionality and accuracy.

    • Examine the input and output signals to ensure they are within expected ranges

    • Check for any noise or interference in the output

    • Verify that the circuit is functioning as designed based on the specifications

    • Look for any potential issues or errors in the output

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Draw the output waveforms
  • Ans. 

    The output waveforms can be drawn based on the input signal and circuit configuration.

    • Understand the input signal characteristics (frequency, amplitude, etc.)

    • Analyze the circuit components and their effects on the signal

    • Draw the output waveform based on the input and circuit analysis

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Questions were based on C concepts, given piece of code, find error, output,etc then data structures, bit manipulation, a few aptitude questions were also there (around 5-7).
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 30

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: I was asked to explain project in detail, I had done projects on embedded, so was asked what fields did you use in that structure, why this implementation and not some related other. Then questions on C concepts, memory allocation, function pointers, data structures, linked lists, then bit manipulation in registers. Then later, why higher studies, would you still go for higher studies if you had a good job at a company, why etc.
Tips: Just be thorough with C (Know your Kernighan Ritchie) and be prepared to go into details about your projects.
