I appeared for an interview in Jun 2025, where I was asked the following questions.

  • Q1. What influenced your decision to choose this option?
  • Ans. 

    My decision to pursue VLSI Design and Verification stems from my passion for technology and its impact on modern electronics.

    • Interest in semiconductor technology: I have always been fascinated by how tiny chips power our devices.

    • Problem-solving skills: VLSI design involves complex challenges that require innovative solutions, which I enjoy tackling.

  • Q2. What are the differences between analog and digital signals?
  • Ans. 

    Analog signals are continuous, while digital signals are discrete, representing data in binary form.

    • Analog signals vary continuously and can take any value within a range (e.g., sound waves).

    • Digital signals represent data in binary (0s and 1s), making them more robust against noise (e.g., computer data).

    • Analog signals are used in applications like audio and video transmission, while digital signals are used in computer...

Round 1 - One-on-one 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Write code of frequency divider
  • Ans. 

    A frequency divider reduces the frequency of an input signal by a specified factor, often used in digital circuits.

    • A frequency divider can be implemented using flip-flops.

    • For example, a divide-by-2 circuit can be made with a D flip-flop.

    • The output frequency is half of the input frequency.

    • Frequency dividers are commonly used in clock generation.

    • They can be cascaded to achieve higher division factors.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. Difference between latch & flip flop
  • Ans. 

    Latches are level-sensitive devices, while flip-flops are edge-sensitive, used for storing binary data in digital circuits.

    • Latches are transparent when enabled, allowing data to pass through.

    • Flip-flops change state only on specific clock edges (rising or falling).

    • Example of a latch: SR latch, which can hold a state based on Set and Reset inputs.

    • Example of a flip-flop: D flip-flop, which captures the input value on the ...

Interview Tips & Stories

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
