Written Test Mentor Graphics exam was completely a subjective one. The questions asked can be put under 3 headings: 1. C [ long questions. Difficult.  ] 2. Analytical questions [Medium difficulty level] 3. Digital Design [comparatively easy questions] All the questions were SUBJECTIVE ! Interview More interested in students who are good at data structures. And Of course you know in EDA tool...

First things first. The Profile It said R & D engineer. Sounds terrific, right? But don't know what they placed for. At the interview level they asked only puzzles or ( some "chit chatting" according to my batchmates) They placed students ( only 1 from VLSI ) to work on their emulators for FPGAs. If you are thinking what are emulators now, just...
