Coding Technical Behavioral
The interview process included a written test with two sections: MCQs covering basics of CMOS, Digital Design, and C programming, and descriptive questions asking to write programs like palindrome and pattern generation, along with Digital Electronics questions. This was followed by a telephonic technical interview focusing on basic CMOS concepts, characteristics, setup and hold times, gates, the difference between combinational and sequential logic, and Verilog basics. The third round was a telephonic technical and HR interview, covering STA basics, VLSI basics, and a discussion about projects, with the HR part being easy.

Technical Behavioral
So after they looked at my resume, I had two technical interviews that were online. The technical rounds were really basic, focusing on fundamentals. They suggested looking at NPTEL videos and websites for preparation. After that, there was an HR round which was pretty straightforward and a good conversation.
