Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Most interviews progress depending on what is being highlighted/ stressed by you. Highlight things accordingly in resume and during interviews. My interview was focused on advanced VLSI electives/projects as I highlighted them during the interview and in resume.
Tips: CG cut-off: CG is a factor but nothing rigid above 8 would be useful. Generally long
shortlists are released. Therefore, selection is extremely dependent on interviews.

General Tips: Intel HR Interviews mostly concentrate on ethics. Make sure all replies are ethically correct. Work environment - one of the top 3 best places to work in India. Good employee care.
Note: Sometimes the HR interviews are taken by tech interviewers themselves. There is not always
an independent panel for HR interviews.
