Q1. What is EM and how we mitigate it
Ans. 
EM stands for electromagnetic interference, and it can be mitigated through shielding, grounding, filtering, and proper layout design.
• Shielding: Using materials like conductive foils or metal enclosures to block EM waves.

• Grounding: Connecting electronic components to a common ground to reduce interference.

• Filtering: Using capacitors and inductors to filter out unwanted frequencies.

• Proper layout design: Keeping sensitiv...read more

Q2. What is race condition and stuck at zero fault
Ans. 
Race condition is a situation in which the output of a program depends on the sequence or timing of uncontrollable events. Stuck at zero fault is a fault in digital circuits where a signal line is stuck at logic zero.
• Race condition occurs when multiple processes access and manipulate shared data concurrently without proper synchronization.

• Stuck at zero fault is a common fault in digital circuits where a signal line is ...read more

Q1. Which is the best sorting algorithm
Ans. 
There is no one-size-fits-all answer as the best sorting algorithm depends on the specific use case and constraints.
• The best sorting algorithm depends on factors such as the size of the data set, the range of values, whether the data is mostly already sorted or not, and the available memory.

• For small data sets or nearly sorted data, insertion sort or bubble sort may be efficient.

• For large data sets, quicksort, mergesor...read more

Round duration - 90 Minutes
Round difficulty - Medium

The timing was from 4:30 pm to 6 pm, so it was quite convenient. The platform was good, the only problem I had was while attempting diagram based questions, as the interface was difficult to understand. The test had three types of questions- MCQ, subjective and diagram based. The major topics from which the question were asked were- sequential circuits(sequence detector), static timing analysis, digital design and computer architecture.
