Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: questions were mainly asked on C, data structures linked lists, wireless communications. i was asked questions on pointers, linked lists, difference between structures and unions, endien-ness(big or little)
about microprocesors- interrupt scheme: which scheme is better , when?
about assembly programming.
They may ask you to write assembly codes/C program
emphasis is on the logic used and not so much on the syntax.

Tips: do C really well. they ask you about projects. also do communication subjects, microprocessors.
they prefer if you know about data structures and OS but it's okay even if you don't.
be honest. if you don't know something say you don't.
do your final year project well.
