  • Q2. Time complexity of varies algorithm like merge sort, binary search
  • Ans. 

    Merge sort has a time complexity of O(n log n) and binary search has a time complexity of O(log n).

    • Merge sort has a time complexity of O(n log n) because it divides the array into halves and merges them back together.

    • Binary search has a time complexity of O(log n) because it halves the search space in each iteration.

I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed in Dec 2016. There were 3 interview rounds.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The first round was just a resume shortlist, People with a CPI of >7 were shortlisted. It apparently appeared that CPI was not the only criteria but the projects done had also carried some weight.
Tips: If you are targeting ISRO, having some projects in the areas of IC design or Signal Processing or Communication can sharpen your chances

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They looked at my Resume and came to a correct conclusion that I was interested in IC design, in general, which was indeed true. They have asked about the courses undertaken in the last 7 semesters. They indeed paid careful attention to every course I had mentioned before them. They enquired about my interest (Analog IC design) and started switching gears, followed by a stream of questions.
Tips: They keep extending the question, even if you answer them correctly. You just have to maintain your composure and carry on.
