CGPA:

7.5 CGPA or 75%

Branches: ECE, E&I, TCE(Telecommunication Engg.) and EEE

Compensation:

14 LPA

Process:

• Written Test
• Technical interview
• HR Round

Round 1) Written Round: Aptitude cum technical round

This online written test consisted of three section viz maths, programming and electronics for 20 minutes, 30 minutes and 35 minutes respectively consisting 20 questions each.

Round 2) Technical Interview

There were questions based on the resume.
The mini project done were the center of questioning as they reflected the interest. The questions on the mini project included everything from the scratch to planning and execution.
Apart from the project the questions were based on
a. VLSI 1>design a latch using a 2:1 mux,
2 Explain why present VLSI circuits use MOSFETs instead of BJTs?)
b. Microelectronics(like 1>Mention what are three regions of operation of MOSFET and how are they used?
2 Which semiconductor device is used as a voltage regulator and why?), RLC circuits, etc.
