First, there was an online assessment which happened offline on campus. It had about 20 questions of aptitude and 10 questions regarding software basics.

After that, a week later, one day before, I got to know about shortlisting. The interview happened on the next day. It was about 50 minutes.

The interviews were quite random, as they judged students on the skills they had. For some, they just asked about their projects, and to others, they asked about subjects like computer architecture and bit manipulation coding problems.

1. Explain the project you like most.

2. About Computer Architecture (CA) => How can you build your own computer using it, and what is required for mutexes and semaphores in a CA context.

3. A little bit about buses and caching.

4. Bit manipulation, like using XOR for parity change, and OR and shift operations.
