Description of Online Test Online Test consisted of three sections 1) Coding 2) Basic Electronics 3) Aptitude Coding section had all the questions from C language and most of the questions were pretty easy and based on basic syntaxes, you can solve all most all the questions if you are very strong at basics. The key factor here is time, questions are time consuming. Basic electronics had questions from Digital electronics, micro controllers and processors. All the questions here are also pretty basic and easy to solve. Basic questions on gates, simple circuit solving questions. Aptitude questions are based on the distance time, train problems etc. Most of the questions are like the question you see in the InterviewBit website.

Description of Technical interview HR + Technical 1) Introduce yourself 2) What are the projects that you've done or working on currently? 3) What is the difference between the local and global function? 4) How does a compiler compiles the code? 5) What is a K-Map and can you explain it with an example? 6) Showed a simple circuit ( 3 resistors are connected in series with a battery) and asked to solve the voltage across each resistor. 7) Showed another circuit with an Op-amp and asked about the value of resistance to be connected etc. (Don't remember the question exactly) 8) You have 9 balls of same color and looks out of which one ball is faulty in terms of weight and you have a pair of scales to weigh, What is the least number of times you need to use the scales to find the faulty ball? 9) What are your strengths and weaknesses? Description: The interview started and firstly he asked me to introduce myself while he had a look at my resume, I gave my introduction and at the end he asked me what were my previous projects or what were the projects that I was working on. I didn’t have any projects in my resume so I have told him the project that I was working on at that time and he asked me follow-up questions based on the project that I had explained. Later he asked me if I knew micro controllers or micro processors subject and I said that I had them and in my third year and I was not very well versed with that subject but I knew the basics then he started questions on C language and then later on he asked me what was my favorite subject in my second year for which I answered digital design then later on he asked me to explain the K-Map and he asked me to explain it with an example. Then he moved on to the general stuff like he showed me a circuit and then he asked me a question based on the circuit after I answered that question he moved on to another question where in this also he showed circuit and he asked me various questions based on that. We only had half an hour time slot so he switched to the next question immediately most of the times. He asked me what were my strengths and weaknesses and then he asked me if I had any questions for him for which I have asked few questions as I have gone through their website and what were they working on and how I will be helpful for the company and what all I would pick up if I join in the company with that he ended my interview.

What should be the preparation strategy for an aspiring candidate? You should be very through with your basics!
