4)Diff btw char array and int array?

then he switched to embedded system-
5)What are INTERRUPT?, EEPROM? , BAUD RATE?

Tips: 1ST TECHNICAL
They will focus on 2 things only :
1)C(most imp) : even it is a core elex company but they will not going to take you if you dont know C,
must learn dis topics viz ARRAY, POINTER, STRUCTURE, 4 storage class,from yashwant kanetkar and solve question from INDIABIX

2) PROJECTS: Projects on EMBEDDED SYSTEMS only, as many projects as u have greater is the chance of your selection and try to explain it in detail as much as u can.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: its just a formality round if they called you for this round that means u r selected ,they just wanted to know if u r really interested for this job? and u willing to join there company or not..

Skill Tips: 2 kind of people can crack interviews in core companies,1 having good POINTERS , projects,good technical knowledgesecond having low pointer but MANY PROJECTS+GOOD TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE +CONFIDENCENo doubt i lie on second criteria. After 6th sem my CPI was 7.61 only , therefore i already knew that its gonna be tuff for me to be selected in core company but i have done 10+ projects in EMBEDDED SYSTEMS and INTERNSHIP too, so i found it not a big deal for me,always remember CONFIDENCE is the key..best of luck \m/

College Name: VIT Vellore

Round: Test
Experience: The test was conducted through Cocubes. It was moderately difficult. Some of the questions are time taking. We need to be decisive in attempting such questions.
Tips: Need to manage time properly. Should assess and choose which questions to attempt and which ones to leave.
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 30

Round: Test
Experience: The three questions are of three different levels.

1. You will be given two numbers. The first one is the starting point and the second one is the ending point of a range of integers. You have to count the number of integers in that range which are divisible by the first number.

Ex : INPUT : 3 18
OUTPUT : 6

2. You will be given a number. You have to find the sum of the digits. If the sum exceeds 9, you have to add the digits of the sum recursively until you a get a single digit sum.

EX : INPUT : 9999
OUTPUT : 9

Explanation: 9999 => 9 +9+9+9=36 => 3+6 =9

3. You will be given an array of characters which include ( L, R , or a number in the range '0' to '9'). A ball is kept on a line of integers initially kept at zero. The ball has to execute the instructions sequentially as follows:
(i) If an 'L' character is encountered, the ;position of the ball has to be decremented.
(ii) If an 'R' character is encountered, the position of the ball has to be incremented.
(iii) If an integer (in the range '0' to '9) is encountered , we have to go to that index in the array and execute the instruction present in that index.

Finally, after all the instructions are executed, you have to print the final position of the ball.

EX : INPUT :
Number of instruction : 5
Instructions: LR1R2

OUTPUT : 3

Explanation :
(i) Initially, the ball is at 0. Since the 0th index in the array is 'L' , the ball moves to 0-1= -1 position.
(ii) The 1st index is 'R' hence, the position of the ball is -1 +1 = 0 position.
(iii) The 2nd index is '1', hence we have to go to index 1 in the array which is 'R', hence the new position is 0+1 =1.
(iv) The 3rd index is 'R', hence the new position is 1 +1 =2.
(v) The 4th index is '2' , hence we have to go to 2nd index is '1' , hence we have to go again to 1st index , which is 'R' hence the final position is 2+1 =3.

Tips: We need to solve all the three the problems to have better chances of clearing this round.
