Interview Questionnaire 

2 Questions

  • Q1. Why UDP and not TCP in project
  • Ans. 

    UDP is preferred over TCP in this project due to its low latency and lightweight nature.

    • UDP is a connectionless protocol, which means it does not establish a direct connection between the sender and receiver.

    • UDP is faster than TCP as it does not have the overhead of establishing and maintaining a connection.

    • UDP is suitable for applications where real-time data transmission is crucial, such as video streaming or online ...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. How would you clear the 7th bit in a 32 bit register
  • Ans. 

    To clear the 7th bit in a 32-bit register, perform a bitwise AND operation with a mask that has all bits set to 1 except the 7th bit.

    • Create a mask with the 7th bit set to 0 and all other bits set to 1

    • Perform a bitwise AND operation between the register and the mask

    • Store the result back in the register

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: Questions were based on C concepts, given piece of code, find error, output, etc then data structures, bit manipulation, a few aptitude questions were also there (around 5-7).
Tips: Practice aptitude, C, data structures (geeksforgeeks.org is a good source).
Duration: 1 hour
Total Questions: 30

Round: Technical + HR Interview
Experience: I was asked to explain project in detail, I had done projects on embedded, so was asked about that, details like what fields did you use in that structure, why this implementation and not some related other. Memory management, network communications, operating systems. Then questions on C concepts like memory allocation, function pointers, then data structures like linked lists, then bit manipulation in registers. Questions from electrical coursework. Then later, why higher studies, would you still go for higher studies if you had a good job at a company, why etc.
Tips: Be thorough with C (know your Kernighan & Ritchie) and be prepared to go into details about your projects.
