Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: This is the most crucial part. For me about getting job, my resume serves at least 70% of achievement. Resume should be most precise to the company you apply.
Tips: Don't bluff. But market yourself with what you have. Show each and every achievement of yours as if its a great one. Play with words to get the effect. Resume should be in such a way that just by seeing it, interviewer should know how unique you are.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They have mostly asked basic questions from Control systems, networks, analog devices.
Tips: Be strong in basics. Its not one night prepeartion. Just try to be logical in the interview. Even though you don't know the answer, think logically and show them how you thinking goes.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: This is basically just for nominal.
Tips: But every word you say counts. Mainly in this round. Show your interest clearly. Be friendly. But don't ne open about everything

General Tips: Try your best. Just don't stick for single company. Prepare in general. By the way, I got this through internship.
College Name: NIT ROURKELA
Motivation: Its a core company of electronics, which is good in the field of VLSI. Though right now, it seems to be a normal company. The experience is really worth to continue in this field.

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: The selection procedure is a test followed by tech interview and an HR interview.
The test had two parts:
 Aptitude (common across all profiles)
 A tech. test (separate for each profile)

Round: Interview
Experience: The tech interview was the important one and the HR interview was just about knowing the student and vice-versa. The tech interview was more concentrated on the basics and more importance was given to the approach of solving the problem rather than solving the problem itself.
No CGPA cutoff.

Round: Interview
Experience: Not very important.

General Tips: The work is well structured and executed. There is a lot of opportunity for more technical learning. Interns are also included into the teams and this helps the intern on knowing about the things going around them and gets an overall view of how things work.
As a whole, the work is very good, and exceeds all the expectations of the students.
College Name: IIT Madras

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Test was subjective and questions were asked from basic analog, digital design, VHDL and VLSI circuits.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Had 3 technical interviews each around 25 minutes. They asked me about my summer internship and
questions from microcontroller architecture and its interfacing. Then they asked me the questions
from those problems which I didn't attempt in the written test.
Tips: For electrical students, it might be a bit challenging. I took an elective on Microcontroller in 7th sem which
helped me a lot during the interview. You might want to brush up your concepts of 8085, digital, OPAMPs
and analog

Round: HR Interview
Experience: My family background and my future goals were asked. They asked me about
my internship project and wanted to know what I learnt during the internship. Then I asked a few questions
from them about the company work culture and growth opportunities
