Panel was of 3 members and each candidate is interviewed for 40-50 min. First they asked about area of interest. When I answered Architecture, three of them asked basic questions on Cache, PIC, DMA, Fault Detection etc.. One of them asked if given a chance, which question in the paper would you attempt ? I corrected my mistake in fault detection

After three phone screens, I was invited on-site Four rounds: 1) Verification (SV, UVM questions), coverage, knowledge on tools, simulator (VCS) questions, how to write testplan. I was given a simple DUT, and was asked questions about scoreboard for the design (I spent 40 mins writing a scoreboard code in UVM) 2) Perl: Problem solving skills were tested using perl. Complicate hash usage, basic File IO was observed 3) Lunch : general technical discussions. Where do I see myself 4) Logic design stuff I was in hurry to get a offer because I had others in hand. So I forced the HR to give decision immediately. I got offer next day, with a good pay
