Confirmed questions5 questions
- in coding que 1. combination matching of keys like used in old mobile phone, if key is 23 then what combination could it be, print the list of combinations 2. minimum jumps needed to go out of range in an array like array length is 5 you start from index 0 then 0+1 is 1 jump then second jump could be 1+2 =3 so 3 index then next could be 3+4=7 then out of range so jumps =2
- then in linux ques like default shell , pkill -9 , home directory symbol and few more
- in c,python it was 5/2 type , pointer value symbol , has a relationship is , python do [::-2]

It was all started with Aptitude test. Test was tough enough. It had 4 sections with C, C++ section focusing on bitwise operations and pointer related questions. OS had questions on deadlock, disk scheduling, TLB etc. Data structures had applied questions in sorting, determining complexity etc. Aptitude was easiest one, had simple questions. After Aptitude there was 1 or 2 technical round depends on ur performance in 1st. Tell about how C program is processed. Differentiate between static and Global variable. Simple 2-3 C codes. Booting process in OS.

The panel had 2 people who have been working at Nvidia for the last 10 years. The interview began with a basic introduction, I had a previous internship experience but they didn’t ask anything about that. For the first half an hour, the questions were from core subjects like operating systems and computer networks. Then they asked 2 questions from the OA round. After that, there was one question on bitwise operations, one question on linked list and one algorithm based question.
