Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Basically they try know your technical knowledge through first, In fact this round is the more or less like an Elimination round where in you have to reply with little more explanation or until he moves to next question which mostly will be related to your answer. So jump into trouble by trying to make your own answer rather try to switch on to a topic that you well
Tips: A good grasp of Basic electronics and VLSI questions will help a lot in this round. Never go for an interview without brushing up your knowledge. Be prepared with self intro for atleast 2/3min such a way that any question from it can be answered with immense confidence level.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This was the round which I was able to perform well. I feel that the interviewer wanted to know more about my technical skills and hence more questions. A good preparation was required to tackle this round, and in fact I did. The interviewer was quite happy when I was able to give answer more than expected. NPTEL videos helped me a lot to face this round.
Tips: Be thorough with RC, RLC, circuit, its charging/discharging. Concept in transistor biasing, its fixing and stabilization have to known. Be ready with your subject of interest, and should be able to answer if asked from any corner of it.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: As you can see, this round was more in VLSI stuffs. Since I said that I am not interested in programming, he changed the discussion into relevant domain. This round was more or less to check I fit into other positions also like Design Automation/Verification etc
Tips: Dont give an answer 'yes' for an area you dont know or rather you are not interested into
-> Take your own time to answer the question. Interviewer not more concerned about how fast you can answer.
-> I would suggestion you to watch this NPTEL video to learn about CMOS latch up. It helped me:-----?v=QlwcPjHpnH0

Round: HR Interview
Experience: More than a HR interview, it was more like an Behavioral round. The interview was taken by Skip level Manager. For last question, I asked 'what will be my actual work here and where can I find myself 2/3 years down the line?.
All the interviews where 1:1.

Tips: ->Never give answer 'no' for the last question I mentioned here
-> All the answers in this should be abide by ethics and values.
-> Know about the company and your work before hand.

Skill Tips: -> Be prepared well
-> Keep in mind that the Interviewer wont a preplanned set of questions to ask you and hence its all about how and what you answer. In fact, the whole Interview is just what you decide
-> Try to get rid of questions that you dont. Its better to say 'I dont know' rather than beating around the bush'
-> Be free out of Tension, take your own to answer, there is no harm in that.

Skills: Basic Digital Logic, Digital Design, Digital And Analogue Parts Of VLSI, VLSI, Basic Electronics, Analog And Digital Knowledge, Analog Integrated Circuits, CMOS Circuits, Analog Circuits
College Name: Government Model Engineering College, Thrikkakara
