So after getting into IITs, the hiring process started in Oct 2020. First, there was an online test with 48 MCQs for the hardware role, and we had 67 minutes to complete it. It mostly covered Digital Circuit design topics like Latch, FF, ROM, Kmap, Boolean algebra, number systems, FIFO, and STA, with a few questions on Computer Architecture/Microprocessor (like caches) and basic Analog circuits (like RC networks). I think the GPA cutoff was around 7, and they were open to CS/EC/EE students. After that, there was a Technical Interview, and then an HR round.

There were two rounds of interviews with eliminations after each. If you pass those, there's an HR round. It's mainly about how well you know the subject. I made it to the second round, but there was no HR round for us. I answered all the questions and felt confident about getting a call, but they only selected one out of the three of us.
