Round 1 - Coding Test 

(1 Question)

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.
