Process
The interview was about 40 minutes. I chose the embedded systems option and was asked questions on that.
I'll try to list the questions I was asked, which aren't reflected here yet:
- Linked list operations
- Sum of n numbers
- Types of scheduling
- How would you interface an RTOS with the real world?
- Precautions when using pointers
- How would you open an m-file from the command window?
- What command is used to add strings in MATLAB?
- Exception handling in C++
- How would you fill a matrix with n numbers, each number divisible by 3?
These are what I can remember. Please look up other reviews for more questions. They helped a lot.
