MediaTek India Technology Associate Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Most of the questions were easy. Some very tricky but the interviewer guided me to the solution. I was selected as an intern so it was a telephonic round. It lasted about 30 minutes.
Tips: Its okay to say that you don't the answer rather than giving a wrong answer. The interviewer wants to see how you approach the solution. Go through your class notes and your projects. You should be thorough with the projects you have done as a lot of questions will be asked from them.

College Name: IIT KHARAGPUR

Round: Test
Experience: aptitude was as usual.
Technical was tough. lots of concepts were revisited. Digital systems, analog circuits, Computer Oraganization etc.
Tips: For aptitude general prep for placements is enough.
If you want to get seriously placed for Qualcomm then you must be thorough with all the courses i mentioned.
Only Mtechs have cleared the test. Even in the extended shortlist there were no Btechs. Everyone may not be lucky as myself in getting a Walk-in interview.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Basic questions on Digital Systems. Some aptitude questions.
General questions about interests and future goals.
Tips: Questions were easy if u have prepared even a little bit.
Get shortlisted for interview and then it must be easy to crack.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Maybe i was already hired, as no questions were asked. She actually gave me an idea of how the work is going to be in Qualcomm Chennai.
Tips: Just clear the test and tech interview and you most likely will get the job.

General Tips: Prepare well and be cool during the interviews.
Skills: Digital Systems
College Name: IIT MADRAS
Motivation: Its core and a well established MNC with lots of future possibilities.

Round: Test
Experience: It contained 3 sections: Aptitude Questions, Programming questions and third section depending on which profile the candidate is opting for, which contained CS,VLSI or DSP profile. Programming: Pseudo code questions which required to find the output of code or the code which resulted in specific output.
Tips: Answer all questions since there was no negative marking (at least this time).

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I had three interviews out of which the first two were technical and third H.R. The interview started with a personal question. Then I was aked about my project in detail. Knowing what projects you did and basic details which constitute the base of the project is must. The next question was about designing a FSM. And the following interview was based on general VLSI based questions mainly setup-hold time, power consumption reduction techniques etc and some puzzles.
Tips: Knowing the basics about subjects and projects is most important.

General Tips: High CGPA is helpful but your answers in interview are
more important.
Skill Tips: For VLSI part a HDL is needed and knowing software related to VLSI CAD is added advantage. Also good logical ability and problem solving skill helps since they ask puzzles and digital design problems.
Skills: HDL
College Name: IIT Kharagpur

Round: Test
Experience: For this test i went through basics of B.Tech topics.in this test most questions asked from quant,core(basic digital,devices,signals) and c programming.
Tips: Firstly i adviced that for test you have to go through basic topics of your graduation and if you wants selection in qualcomm then you have to main focussed on quant,core(basic digital,devices,signals)
Duration: 120 minutes

Round: Interview
Experience: I started preparation from starting of november and in this round core companies asked questions from digital circuits mainly .i prepared for interview same way as i prepared for test
Tips: For techinal round you have to go through basics of B.tech topics and if u are applied for core companies like qualcomm then you have to focussed on digital circuits

Round: Interview
Experience: In this round just routine questions asked to me and there was a time duration about 40 minutes
Tips: For HR round you have to asked only just routine question so you have to prepare for routine questions

General Tips: Core companies mainly asks question from core(basic digital,devices and signals). Then you have to focus on these topics.
Skill Tips: If you guys applied for core companies then you have to focus on digital circuits,devices,signals and on inverter characteristics
Skills: Inverter characteristics, Core subjects, Basic Digital, Basic Device Signals
College Name: IIT MADRAS

Round: Test
Experience: The online test consists of Quant, core (basic digital, devices, signals), C programming.
Tips: Lots of online resources will aid you in the process.
Focus on courses like Digital IC Design, CAD for VLSI and Computer Architecture. 
Preparing for CAT improves number of options (non-core and core wise) and reduces stress. 
Keeping in touch with C programming helps a lot.
Learning Data Structures and Algorithms seems to give you an edge.
Duration: 120 minutes

Round: Interview
Experience: Interview is held in 3 rounds – one HR round and two technical rounds.Round duration can vary from 40 minutes to 1 hour.First Interview (Extremely localized and in depth) : 1. Verilog( Design of sequential circuits )2. FSM design (Sequence detection and coding it in Verilog) 3. Digital circuit topologies (Design choices made on the basis of topologies) 4. Digital circuit design (Problem solving) 5. Timing analysis (Cause of violations and rectification)Second Interview (Very diverse set of topics):1.Verilog state machines (Very detailed) 2.Digital verification 3.Quantum Physics (Minor) (Poisson Bracket (commutability and Eigen basis))4.Control systems (Phase and gain margins) 5.Timing analysis (Set up and hold time violations) 6.Communication systems (SNR and modulation techniques)

Round: Interview
Experience: General set of HR questions are asked.
