I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Qualcomm
Interview
First round was a written one.It consisted of aptitude and technical questions on C and some on OS.It was fine but one should focus on speed to clear it,
After that there were 2 technical interviews and an HR round. In the technical rounds focus was on basic concepts of C, OOPS concepts related to C++, questions on bitwise operators, a few programming questions and OS.
