Round: Test
Experience: There was a section wise cut-off. So, if you performed well in Digital,say, you would be shortlisted irrespective of your performance in Analog(provided, you performed bad here). There were people who got shortlisted for both profiles. Difficulty was moderate. Analog required a bit of thinking. Digital was mostly on basics. Aptitude was easy. There was negative marking for all sections.
Tips: Analog: Analog Electronics, Control Systems, Analog Integrated Circuits. Basics mostly.
Digital: DECA, DSD (especially VHDL ), some microprocessor basics.
Aptitude: No preparation necessary
Duration: 90 minutes
Total Questions: 60

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Round1: Basic questions on CMOS, MUX logic(like, make an XOR gate using 2:1 MUX), STA, and strangely on C programming(in the end)

Round2: In depth discussion of above mentioned topics. Like, relation between Vih, Vil, Vol,Voh of inverter characteristics with Vth and Vtp, How to make the curve more ideal, types power dissipation in CMOS circuits, etc. Also, make FlipFlops using MUXes, STA,etc
Tips: Be clear with basics. Given a question, speak out loud and clear your approach(answer is secondary), Interviewers are nice and keep giving hints. Draw diagrams if necessary.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: Normal HR questions. Finally, only 4 were selected: 3 from digital, 1 from analog, though many had HR interview. So, HR interview doesn't necessarily mean you are in.
Tips: Donot give single line answers, not essays as well. Let it be crisp and to the point. Donot generalise anything. Be nice.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The questions for Digital profile are simple and if you brush through any digital systems book like Morris Mano, then you will be able to answer all the questions. For some students they asked two rounds and for others they only had one.
Tips: Keep your cool. The questions will be very logical So if you don't know it ,you can solve it there

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR interview has questions like Why TI? Where did you hear about TI first? What inspired you to be an engineer ? What are your plans for further studies ? etc.
Tips: It is supposed to be more like a conversation than an interview. So be yourself and know about your interests because if you can't answer questions about your life , then that is not a good sign.

General Tips: Talk to them . After the interview before you leave get to know a little about them like their name and other things. Since they asked you so much about yourself it does make sense to ask them back so that you will learn a little more about the company and their attitude.
Skill Tips: They only tested if you can think on your feet.
