(2 Questions)
- Q1. Mostly from your previous projects
- Q2. How to resolved clock getting violation
- Ans.
Resolving clock violations involves optimizing timing paths, adjusting clock tree design, and ensuring proper signal integrity.
Identify the source of the clock violation using timing analysis tools like PrimeTime.
Optimize the clock tree by reducing skew and improving latency; for example, using buffer insertion.
Adjust the placement of critical components to minimize the distance between clock sources and sinks.
Use cloc...

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Test was subjective and questions were asked from basic analog, digital design, VHDL and VLSI circuits.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Had 3 technical interviews each around 25 minutes. They asked me about my summer internship and
questions from microcontroller architecture and its interfacing. Then they asked me the questions
from those problems which I didn't attempt in the written test.
Tips: For electrical students, it might be a bit challenging. I took an elective on Microcontroller in 7th sem which
helped me a lot during the interview. You might want to brush up your concepts of 8085, digital, OPAMPs
and analog
Round: HR Interview
Experience: My family background and my future goals were asked. They asked me about
my internship project and wanted to know what I learnt during the internship. Then I asked a few questions
from them about the company work culture and growth opportunities

I applied via Campus Placement
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Resume is not given any due importance in selection for further rounds . But honesty is very important as it counts once you are selected for HR round .
Tips: Try to be one hundred percent honest . And put your projects and course work in the beginning. They don't care your POR s and extra curricular activities.
Round: Test
Experience: Hardware - Questions are mainly from ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS (RLC ckts) , Analog ckts. Amplifiers , Opamps , digital system design . Aptitude section is very easy . Hardware section is tough .I felt Signal processing was easier , indeed I got selected for that profile .
Tips: Prepare thoroughly these courses :- EMC , DIGITAL SYSTEMS, NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS,ANALOG & DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING , ANALOG CKTS COURSES .THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH .
Duration: 90 - Signal Processing minutes
Total Questions: 120 - Hardware and aptitude
Round: Group Discussion

What are the roles & responsibilities of a Senior Physical Design Engineer at Intel?
Read full roles & responsibilities 
Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The selection procedure is a test followed by tech interview and an HR interview.
The test had two parts:
Aptitude (common across all profiles)
A tech. test (separate for each profile)
Round: Interview
Experience: The tech interview was the important one and the HR interview was just about knowing the student and vice-versa. The tech interview was more concentrated on the basics and more importance was given to the approach of solving the problem rather than solving the problem itself.
No CGPA cutoff.
Round: Interview
Experience: Not very important.
General Tips: The work is well structured and executed. There is a lot of opportunity for more technical learning. Interns are also included into the teams and this helps the intern on knowing about the things going around them and gets an overall view of how things work.
As a whole, the work is very good, and exceeds all the expectations of the students.
