Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Next is PI technical and questions asked to me :-
1)Tell me about urself(do include brief intro about your internship if u have done any otherwise no problem)
2)About my internship

suddenly he started asked question from C-
3)what is BIT FIELD?, MACROS? ,PREPROCESSOR? ,EXTERN?
4)Diff btw char array and int array?

then he switched to embedded system-
5)What are INTERRUPT?, EEPROM? , BAUD RATE?
6)About my Projects(i suggest u to all tell project related to embedded only)
7)FAV subject and question from it (do prepare atleast 2 subjects very well)
8)What is electronics, Telecommunication?
9)diff btw ETNT AND ECE?

then he asked some HR questions too:-
10)what is your STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS(support your answer with example)
11)where do u see urslf 5 yr from now?
12) hobby?
13) low pointer?
then he asked me to ask question:
i have asked 2 question:
14)who is your biggest competitor?
15)what is the hierarchy of this job post?
Tips: 1ST TECHNICAL
They will focus on 2 things only :
1)C(most imp) : even it is a core elex company but they will not going to take you if you dont know C,
must learn dis topics viz ARRAY, POINTER, STRUCTURE, 4 storage class,from yashwant kanetkar and solve question from INDIABIX

2) PROJECTS: Projects on EMBEDDED SYSTEMS only, as many projects as u have greater is the chance of your selection and try to explain it in detail as much as u can.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: its just a formality round if they called you for this round that means u r selected ,they just wanted to know if u r really interested for this job? and u willing to join there company or not..

Skill Tips: 2 kind of people can crack interviews in core companies,1 having good POINTERS , projects,good technical knowledgesecond having low pointer but MANY PROJECTS+GOOD TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE +CONFIDENCENo doubt i lie on second criteria. After 6th sem my CPI was 7.61 only , therefore i already knew that its gonna be tuff for me to be selected in core company but i have done 10+ projects in EMBEDDED SYSTEMS and INTERNSHIP too, so i found it not a big deal for me,always remember CONFIDENCE is the key..best of luck \m/
