About The Manual

This manual is made in order to help the future batches of ECE students in
understanding how to prepare for any particular firm. It contains FAQ regarding
placements like: What a firm is looking in its applicants, real interview questions, the
package that the firm is providing (A very popular question in the PPTs), topics to focus
on before going for interviews etc. It also contains some interview experiences of the
2K9 batch (That we were able to glean by arduously pestering everybody).

This manual is prepared through the efforts of 2K9 electronics students and we hope
the reader would appreciate our efforts and reciprocate by adding something
beneficial to this manual and passing it on to next batch.

Godspeed for Your Placement Session
2K9/EC Batch

For IT Companies

For ECE students, this category mainly includes firms like Atrenta, Yahoo, One97, Tejas
Networks, Cavium Networks, Sapient, Indus Valley Partners, Aricent, Morgan Stanley
etc. In order to prepare for these firms first brush up your basics in C/C++.
1. C - Dennis Ritchie
2. C++ - Robert Lafore

3. Exploring C Yashwant Kanitkar (Very useful for cracking written tests)
4. Data Structures in C Tenanbaum

5. Cracktheinterview manual (or cracktheinterview.com) + An imp topic called
Prefix Trees (commonly called as Tries)
6. Operating System - Galvin(first 9 chapters only)

7. Other websites like geeksforgeeks.org and leetcode.com are also useful.
8. Cormen Introduction to Algorithm
9. Finally, the ultimate careercup.com

Apart from this, those who find it difficult to implement questions from interview websites
and advanced data structures could buy this book: Data structures and Algorithms
Made Easy (Code Monk Publications)

We firmly urge the reader to follow this order; otherwise you risk not being able to solve
questions of next level. The level to which you have to study depends on the firm and
your interest in programming. Here are some firms that we have categorized according
to above criterion:

Yahoo Level 9
Atrenta, One97, Cavium, Tejas, Winshuttle, Cisco,Morgan
Stanley Level 6
Aricent, Sapient Level 4

Plus, if you are preparing for banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley start
preparing for group discussion also (second last round of both firms).

Companies like Cisco, Tejas and Cavium work on networking so people believe that
you need to know networking to enter these firms. This is complete farce!! Tejas and
4

Cisco had only few Qs on networking in their written test and they never asked
networking in interviews also. And Cavium had its paper and interviews based on
Operating System. (Note: Cavium doesnt offer hardware profile, and many people
where surprised to see there written comprising of mostly OS)

5

For Electronic Design Automation (EDA)
companies

This category mainly includes: Atrenta, Mentor Graphics, Cadence and Synopsys. You
need to have good knowledge of software coupled with decent knowledge of
electronics. Although they mostly focus on digital electronics, Synopsys came with
two profiles to our campus (R&D Engineer and Software Engineer) and asked CMOS
for the first profile and software for the second profile (electronics students were not
allowed to sit for second profile and vice versa for computer students).

6

For Electronics Companies

These include firms like ST- Ericsson, Freescale, Synopsys, Rancore, NVidia,
NSys, Texas Instruments, CDOT, Broadcom etc.

If you are interested in the profile Design Engineer in firms like TI, NVidia, Freescale,
Broadcom (VLSI profile), Synopsys (CMOS profile) which they offer to electronics
students, then you need to have very good knowledge of CMOS. This is the favourite
topic for interview and written tests. You can study CMOS from books like:

1. CMOS: Digital Integrated Circuits - by Kang (Followed heavily)

2. Digital Integrated Circuits Rabaey (Freescale people recommended this).

3. Sedra & Smith (Microelectronics) 4
th
and 10
th
chapter complete (The 4
th

chapter contains CMOS inverter and some basics about MOS which is generally
the first question in almost every semi-conductor tech interview)
7

Next, you need to start practicing design questions like designing an OR gate using
MUX (simplest example), design a divide-2 counter with 25% duty cycle (Broadcom
VLSI profile written test question) etc. For questions regarding this topic, you have to
search on the net or read previous years placement papers.
Link: http://the-name-less-blog.blogspot.com/

Plus, there are two important topics in digital Setup and hold time (extremely
vital) and Finite State Machines (FSM)

For setup time and hold time, we will attach some important tutorials to this manual
plus you have to search the internet and placement papers again for this topic.

FSM is covered in our course in DSD (Switching Theory and Automata Zvi Kohavi).
Try all the back questions using Mealy and Moore models and also follow placement
papers. There was an important question in NVidias written test this year which,
according to me, is worth mentioning:

Draw the state diagram for a device that gives an output 1 when a number
entering serially in it is divisible by 5; and 0 otherwise.

Other reference material:

Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits Grey and Meyer(very
good book for Analog electronics)
Placement Manual from any senior or placementpapers.net

Try to know questions asked by the firm in other colleges. This helps a lot
since many electronics companies dont change their written test and it
also helps to focus on important topics.
8

For PSUs

Those who are relying on PSUs solely based on their DRs should be well informed that
PSUs dont necessarily pick top DR students. But neither having a high DR or good
interview guarantees that you will get the job in that PSU. There is always an ambiguity
over who gets placed in PSU.

9

For Non Tech Companies

These include companies like Deloitte, ZS Associates, SmartCube, JPMC,
Dunnhumby, McKinsey Knowledge Centre, EXL services, Ernst & Young, Protiviti
etc.

Such companies are open for all branches, hence the competition is fierce. You need to
be at the top of your soft skills to crack them. There is resume shortlisting for some
companies, so an all-round performance is appreciated.

The written round for such companies is exclusively aptitude based, and any run of
the mill MBA coaching packages will help. Practising a few mock GDs is extremely
important as these companies look for good group dynamics.

A few companies may also have an essay or prcis writing round, so a little practise is
required in this regard.

Interview process:

Guesstimates- These present an out of the box thinking challenge. Sample-How many
TT balls can you fit into a Boeing 747 flight. For these questions, the approach is more
important than the answer.

Case Studies - On campus, case studies are asked in the written form. In these also,
as the problem is open ended, the means to reach the solution are more important

Refer:
1) Vaults guide to Case Interview
2) Kellogg consulting club casebook
3) HBS case study guide
4) Case In Point

The Vaults guide also has proper techniques to deal with

Guesstimate problems. Plus, go to McKinsey and Bains official website; they have
three solved sample case studies.

Proper preparation is also required for Logic Puzzles. These are also asked in tech
companies.
Refer:
1) http://www.folj.com/puzzles/
2) http://brainden.com/logic-puzzles.htm
3) http://technical-interview.com/puzzles.aspx
10

Also for investment banks like JPMC and Nomura, it is good to have some basic
knowledge of finance and along with current business related news.
Refer NCFM modules on finance (easily available on Internet)

11

MISC

Preparation of basic HR questions is very important because it is the final round of
almost every company, because no matter how good you are, your colleagues have to
put up with you for the better part of the day.

Refer: http://hrinterviews.blogspot.com/ for sample questions. Do prepare an About
Me, Greatest Strengths and Biggest Weaknesses answer very well.

Introduction

We have gathered information regarding the interview experiences of some of our close
friends. These experiences have been entirely written by them with no alteration by
anyone. We have removed their names intentionally in order to avoid people from
pestering them for more information regarding the placement procedure. Also the pay
package and cut-off has been removed as they might be revised this year and we would
not want anyone to keep any false hopes from the very beginning. Please understand
that the data compiled is of 2010-11 and 2012-13 hence there may be companies that
may not turn up this year due to some issues. We sincerely request the reader not to
target a particular company from the very start. Targeting a particular domain is always
healthy.

These experiences are listed by company name. If you find the same company name
written more than one time, then it means that different people have written them.
We hope these experiences clarify most of the doubts and myths regarding the
placement procedure of these firms. We deeply regret for any typo or grammatical
mistakes since this manual has been revised in haste.

CDOT

Stages of process:

Tech Interview


There was no written test. Shortlisting was based on percentage obtained in
10th, 12th and engg. Then, there was a Tech Interview.


Firstly, if you are lucky enough, they will ask you about your favourite subject
and then starts their Q-A round. They asked about VLSI, its full form and its
advantages. Moore's Law (in VLSI), a question on FSM (basically a sequence
detector), difference between Mealy and Moore Model of FSM and their
advantages. They asked why gray codes are used in K-map, a question on K-
Map. Then, the last question which, I guess, proved to be the milestone. They
showed me a circuit composed of gates (NAND,NOR,AND,XOR etc) which was
quite long at first sight that it was occupying almost a full A4 size sheet. They
asked me to get the final o/p in 10 sec without using pen or paper. And I was
able to find that the o/p would always be zero. :D


There was no HR as such. However, they asked randomly about my future
plans.


If you are planning to get into Core EC company, then prepare a lil bit about
apti. Focus more on digital EC, analog EC (for very few companies), FSM,
CMOS, MOS internal details, timing issues (e.g setup time, hold time etc), lil bit
about VHDL/Verilog. Sometimes they may ask to write a code of any flip flop
or MUX in VHDL. A lil knowledge about C/C++ can be proved as your plus
point, so if you can, get some idea about C/C++ and data structures.

Advice:

Have patience, have faith in God. He has planned best for you. :)

request handling, financial tools n all..to upgrade the previous hand written
methods. And question were on how to implement it,what would be business
perspectives,and there was delima with financial team about this package.


tech was asked related to case study only..not in the interview


Casual interview..resume based..on the spot thinking..communication skills
will be judged.


a little know how of C would definitely help, rest aptitude to crack the written

Advice:

if u are well aware of the things happening around , interview than sud nt be a
barrier. GD u might have to prepare for that. And if you are presuming at this
very moment that deloitte is a company that you can crack easily then you will
fall hard on your face. Work hard.

Some advice
by Dushyant Jha and Shaiv Kashyap

Dont take a job just because it pays more. Because when you have to spend 8-
10 hours daily in the office, the work environment and culture of the firm matters
a lot. We have seen people whining about their jobs (just after 3 months of
joining) as their work isnt interesting to them and they took the job just for the
sake of better compensation.

Dont write anything in your resume that you dont know and thoroughly revise
your projects and technical skills.

Focus on those types of companies (e.g. software, electronics, communication or
non-tech) in which you are really interested otherwise you wont be able to
prepare effectively.

Dont get discouraged if you are not placed despite of preforming good in
interview or written test. Some of the firms have absurd criteria for hiring
students. Like the old saying quotes, God had decided something better for
you.

Prepare well for HR round, as it is one of the most vital rounds especially for non
tech firms.

Prior to sitting for the interview of any firm, go through their official website so
that you have good knowledge of their work. To get the reviews about any firm,
you can go to glassdoor.com and chotanarad.com.
44

Always keep an in-depth knowledge of your favourite subject.

It is good to have a few projects in your resume but if dont have basic knowledge
of electronics then they will not help you in getting through the interview.

Dont try to cheat in the written test because even if you crack the written through
plagiarizing the interviewer will definitely catch you later during the interview
round. And you might end up screwing chance of your fellow classmates.
This might later affect you only since these people might later get a job that
you had yearned for.

Lastly, prepare well for software companies as the good computer/software
students get placed in the beginning, and the remaining crowd is not very tough
to outsmart hence study software thoroughly if you want to go for a software
profile.

YOUR PLACEMENT COORDINATORS HAVE ALREADY
MADE YOU AWARE OF THE TWO GOLDEN RULES:

1. Trust your PCs

2. Trust them blindly

These are the guys who are going to help you get through and they shall stand with
you in any situation and help you out at every instance. Listen to them and they will
listen to you.
With this, we leave you for a healthy placement session ahead of you.
Goodluck!!
