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

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They asked me about my thesis and some device related questions as my thesis was on modelling of device. Questions were basic and were related to variation of device parameters with environmental factors and other parameters. Apart from that, several questions related to basic digital circuits were also asked concerning flip flops, latches, setup time and hold time. The technical interview went on for approximately 1 hour.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The HR round lasted for about 5 mins only. The HR person asked me whether I were interested in going for PhD or not and about my hobbies and interests. Overall, the interviewers are very friendly and asked basic questions only.
Tips: Prepare your CV well, have a good CPI, do your thesis sincerely, concentrate on your basics and you will stand a very good chance of getting selected.


General Tips: Do the courses thoroughly, make good course projects and start preparing for the placement session at least 1 month early.

Don’t ever mention to them that you are interested in higher studies even if you are applying. In case you don’t get a job at your targeted company, don’t lose hope and move on to the next one.

Concentrate on your preparation and the things that are of utmost importance, don’t get bogged down by pressure. Be optimistic and cheerful, because confidence really helps during interviews.

Final Tips :
1. Be confident and enthusiastic in your response to questions because you have to make them understand that you are interested in the profile.
2. Chalk out a plan to strengthen your strong points and address the weak ones.

Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. What is aspect ratio?
  • Ans. 

    Aspect ratio is the ratio of an object's width to its height.

    • Aspect ratio is commonly used in design and engineering to maintain proportionality.

    • It is often expressed as a ratio, such as 16:9 for a widescreen TV.

    • Aspect ratio can affect the visual perception and usability of a product.

    • It is important to consider aspect ratio when designing graphics or layouts for different devices or mediums.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q2. How do you decide stackup?
  • Ans. 

    Stackup is decided based on the number of layers, signal integrity requirements, and manufacturing constraints.

    • Consider the number of layers required for the design

    • Evaluate signal integrity requirements and impedance control

    • Take into account manufacturing constraints such as minimum trace width and spacing

    • Balance cost and performance

    • Use simulation tools to optimize the stackup

    • Consult with PCB fabricators for their reco

I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed before Jan 2021. There were 3 interview rounds.

Round 1 - Technical 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. What is a cache? What does tag used for in a cache?
  • Ans. 

    A cache is a high-speed data storage layer that stores frequently accessed data to reduce access time. A tag is used to identify the location of data in the cache.

    • Cache is a temporary storage that holds frequently accessed data

    • It reduces the access time by providing faster access to data

    • Tag is used to identify the location of data in the cache

    • Tag is a part of the cache memory address
