Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Test
Experience: There was written test in the very beginning of the selection process. It had questions from logical reasoning, quantitative aptitude and electronics. It had questions from microprocessor and many other electronics topic. Thereafter there were the interview rounds.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: There were 2 rounds in which they asked me both HR questions as well as core field related question. They asked me to describe myself as well as tell them about my strengths and weaknesses. They also asked me about working in the southern part of India and my views on relocation.

On the technical side they asked me the following questions:

1) Design of D-latch from 2*1 mux?
2) XOR gate using minimum number of NAND gates?
3) Shift registers connections to get a particular sequence?
4) Use of Accumulator in processors like 8085?

In general the interview was more focussed on the technical side with the HR side just to make sure I will be a good fit in the company.

I applied via Campus Placement and was interviewed before Jan 2020. There was 1 interview round.

Interview Questionnaire 

1 Question

  • Q1. What subjects have you studied? What is setup hold time how to fix? Which is more critical? Which circuit is better in terms of delay and power?
  • Ans. 

    I have studied digital design, setup hold time is the time data must be stable before and after the clock edge, fixing it involves adjusting the clock or data path, setup time is more critical, a circuit with fewer stages is better for delay and power.

    • Studied digital design

    • Setup hold time is the time data must be stable before and after the clock edge

    • Fixing setup hold time involves adjusting the clock or data path

    • Setup...
